on CARONDELRT STREET.

A gentle rumor stirred quietly and mys-
teriousIy among brokers and financial men
yesterday that the funding bill would be
signed and the act become law. Men were
seen under the spell of this secret, men
tioning nothing about warrants. OF no;
and saying, as usual, there was no busiaess,
! but by the way in which two OF three
prominent men buttonhOled one another in
the sly corners and in the shady dOOrways
of the moneyed street, it was soon guessed
that something was in the wind, and that it
lay somewhere near State securities. The
cat got out of the bag about halfpast three
o'clock, after bank hours; the funding bill
was not signed, and would not be at present.
Theh it turned out that the mere rumor
had stimulated the demand, and that lots
in ten, five, two, three and one thousand had
been sold, to the extent of 100000 in all,
realizing an average of 20 to II, and it was.
said that to-day they would be sitter yet.
This was about the only thing sensational
yesterday.
City certificates are quoted at the same
rates, with tenpency upward.
Levee stock is as placid as Como Lake in
August; not a cats paw or rifle could be OBJ
served.
City railroad stocks sold yesterday at
Sl7I. There is no lack of demand in this
line, though the buyers can agree about
the price.
The growing tightness in money does not
lessen. Several weights have been hung on
to the safety valve, while the pulsation
beats fresh and furious within the fold
Money must be had to meet payments, when
extensions can not be obtained.
Gold was quiet yesterday, or at least
showed less impulsiyeness than for some
time. It's connections are like those ia the
atmosphere, whenever drawn out from one
place corresponding rush is made to fill
the vacancy or supply the Withdrawing ele-
ment so as to swell its current. A great
drain has set out from New York, and
hither the stream is flowing from all direc-
tions. We feel but breath of these COM
motions here.

The state Educational Convention.

For the purpose of securing an inter
change of views, and to awaken an in
creased interest in this important branch
of the administration, the State Board of
Public Education has called convention
of delegates from parish boards, and other
friends, to be held in New Orleans Tues
day next. Many of the delegates have
been chosen, and from the general response
to the call, and the personnel of the parties
chosen, we draw the conclusion that this,
the first convention of its kind ever held in
this State, will be equal to the expectations
of its friends and creditable to the cause
which it is proposed to advance.
It seems to be more generally appreciated
to-day than ever before among the masses
that public morals and good government
are best subserved by our public schools,
hence an earnest feeling is everywhere
manifested to support the agencies which
brought them into being.
-Four years ago, the public schools Of
Louisiana, outside of New Orleans, could
be counted on fingers and thumbs, but to-
day they are counted by hundreds. Through
the unceasing efforts of Hon. T. w. Conway,
State Superintendent, supported by Re
publican administration, thousands of chill
dren, of all classes, are daily gathered un-
der the supervision of patient teachers in
over thousand schools, and they are leav-
ening the body polite in an appreciable
and lasting manner. From Orleans to
Shreveport and Calcasieu to Carroll gen
erous response has been given to the call
All friends of education are invited to at
tend and to contribute their best efforts.

French Benevolent Association Picnic.

The members of this association, their
guests and their friends, and their families,
had day of real enjoyment at the Della
chaise grounds Sunday. The association,
before going to the grounds, paraded
through some of the principal streets of the
Sixth District, preceded by fine band of
music, and carrying their two elegant
American and French silk flags. They pre-
sented an excellent appearance, and we're
admired as they passed along.
Such amusements were on the grounds
as swinging, rope jumping and sack racing,
while on the dancing platform the light
fantastic was tripped delightfully."-. The
picnic was continued yesterday and last
evening, and there were snO limits to the
enjoyments. The French Benevolent As
sociatiOn has demonstrated that they know
how to provide for themselves reasonable
and innocent pleasures.

A senatorial Carpet-Bngrer.
This is from the St. Louis Republican.

This is from the ot. Louis Republican:
William Pitt Kellogg, United States
Senator from Louisiana, unburdened him
self in the Senate the other day to this eff
feet:
The delegates to Cincinnati from nv
State were thieves and rascals, and the rag
tag and bObtail from others States were no
better"
If the Louisiana delegates to the Liberal
convention we're any worse stuff than the
man who denounces them, they must be
bad indeed. kellogg is worn out political
hummer from Illinois, who, having turned
the stOmachs of his constituency there, was
set adrift as a nuisance and naturally found
his way South as an exponent OF Radical
loyalty. a carpet-bagger of the first order,
he managed the wires with sufficient
shrewdness to get himself chosen Senator
from Louisiana, and now claims to repre-
sent a State within whose precincts he
would not have been deemed worthy to be
justice Of the peace dozen years ago. The
blackguardism we have quoted is a very
fair illustration of the character of this
sweetscented son of reconstruction. The
Kellogg tribe are more numerous than feas
in Rome, but we imagine they will be
thiuned out considerably after next Novem-
Der.
