pnBTTc AND PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT.

"a i
One Of the evils that demands reform in
municipal government is the competition
that exists between the city and the peo-
pie about hiring labor. What the public
in its private capacity pays and what it re-
quires, should be the rule adopted by the
authorities, who are merely the agents OF
the public. The city has no right to enter
the market as the friend Of one class
against another, for its quality as an agent
is to act in strict conformity with the
action Of the principal. # the rate Of
wages is well understood in the com
| munity, that is the rate the city should pay
| and if the rule Of labor is for ten hours, that
is the rule the city should adopt It is
a demagogical suggestion that the agent
ofthe people is bound to see that his princi-
| pals are all furnished with remunerative
employment out Of the common wealth
and yet this very doctrine was advanced
by Jimmy O'Brien, the candidate Of the
| mob for mayor in New York, who declared
that, If elected, he would furnish every
man with work at good wages, at the ex-
pense of the city. O'Brien only uttered
publicly the offer that was made in our
own city BY many candidates, that, if they
were elected, their supporters should be
placed upon the pay rolls Of the city. Car
rollton has even gone so far, although her
warrants are now discounted at fifty cents
on the dollar, to declare that she will
only exact eight hours labor for the same
pay that the people obtain ten hours labor
for This is putting the corporation in
competition with the people who compose
it, and is very unauthorized and injudi-
cious act 1t de&dens industry, because it
creates an unhealthy rivalry. The man
who can not pay two dollars for a servant
and the servant who unjustly demands
that sum because the authorities grant it,
both suffer from the irregularity that pre-
walls between the people and the represent
tatives they employ.
If the rule was that the public service
was the worst in the city, as was the case
in old times, it would be great improve
ment on the present arrangement. There
are hundreds Of people who refuse private
employment because they hope 70 secure
government service The city has created
this unhealthy condition, and the best thing
the new regime can do is to abate the evil
at once. Make the public service more
onerous than private employment; and
hundreds Of people will drop it and be-
come producers rather than consumers.
This is the beginning that will pave the
way to the st'results, for it will not only
save immense drains upon the treasury
but it will drive an army Of men into
better condition than they now occupy Of
waiting to get their hands il the public
money box

AN IMPORTANT MOVEMENT,

To-day's LouiSia1,ian. We are informed,
will contain a call from Lieutenant Gov
ernor Pinchback to the leading colored
people present in New Orleans, citizens OF
Louisiana, to assemble at his residence on
Sunday at twelve o'clock. The purpose
of this gathering is to take into considera-
ton the prospective condition Of the col
ored people under a government brought
into existence by means of frauds perpe-
trated upon and against their race. It is
intended to appoint committee of lead
ing colored men to classify, arrange and
print the immense mass of registration
and election frauds already accumulated in
the hands of the United States authorities,
and to prepare . petition to the President
and Congress fully setting forth all the
grievances complained OF, and praying for
the enforcement Of the guarantee of re-
publican form OF government.
There are left yet some sixteen days in
which to make up the case for Congress-
but strenuous exertion will be made to
have the main features authoritatively
laid before President Grant prior to the
completion of lis message.
In conjunction with this movement it
is proposed to prepare a document for the
signature of ex-Union soldiers and sail
ors, substantiating the allegation that the
Republican party has been cheated out Of
the election and asking for national relief
and protection.

the population. The streets should be
seventy-fve feet wide. This last would
give ample room for vehicular locomotion.
The plan says:
A street needs six pairs Of rails Tt is
with their help that all the locomotiCn
ought to be done in city. They have
been adopted for cars; trhY not accept them
also for all other UeHicleS We will not
speak here OF their superiority over all
other ways Of transportation. They are so
great comfort that the horses themselves
snow US their advantage BY their readiness
to take to them.
This contains a suggestion Of great
value to New Orleans, and other cities
having great weights to move Why
should not rails be laid for all carriages OF
burden? Let any one regard the ten
dency Of all our heavy floats and wagons
to drop into the track Of the railroads on
Tchoupitoulas and Front Levee, and thus
save at least the draft of one horse, and
it will be obvious that such facility for
all carriages OF burden will greatly pro-
mote the economy of commerce. Why
may not our scavenging and sewage be
be improved. Even our new departure
by rail to Texas may remember to SO lay
off the new villages which will spring up
along its line that they will present every
advantage Of plan to immigrants, These
intimations may; we hope, call the atten-
ton Of all local governments to the i'm
portance Of conforming their new struc.
lures and systems rather to the deductions
Of modern science than the eftete exam

will be ended The railroads once had
exactly the same difficulty; they ended it
in the manner proposed here, by pro
rating and signing through bills. Let St.
Louis send some Of her substantial corn
dealers to enjoy the Inequalities of New
Orleans and confer with ship owners and
agents, and We Do not doubt the condi-
tons demanded by the Democrat may be
complied with.

A PROBABLE CHANGE ON THE SUPREME
BENCH,

Judge Nelson, Of the United States Su-
preme Court, recently signifed his inten-
tioG to retire in April and avail himself Of
the act Of Congress passed two or three
years ago, providing for the retirement OF
judges after a long term Of service. The
venerable Nelson las been for more than
fifty years a Judge, q large portion of the
time having been devoted to his duties on
the bench Of the United States Supreme
Court and as United States Circuit Judge
for New York. He is now the senior AS.
sociate Justice. .iftey him. in rank,
comes Judge Clifford.
Judge Nelson il one Of the links that
connect the present with the past age. 4
jurist Of first order Of ability. he has, how.
ever, been unable to keep pace with the
spirit Of progress infused into the national
policy by the results Of the late revolution:
and he has on more than one occasion
found himself overraIed in important cases
involving momentous questions by his
younger associates. lie has adhered with
great tenacity to the constitution as it
was, so much, indeed, as to. suggest the
imputation that he regarded the work Of
the original statesmen Of the republic as
sacramental, and beyond the reach of in
novation. But his sound views upon the
general principles Of common Law. added
to a character for integrity that has never
been even assaulted, have endeared him 10
the hearts Of all classes. including many
who would have been pleased to see in
him more prompt recognition of the
living principles ordained by the people
Of the present day. He has been faith.
full servant Of the republic, and deserves
we'll at the hands Of his "ountrymen. We
rejoice that our nation has so fay overcome
its ancient tendency to economy as to pro
vide for the comfort in old age of such
long-tried and ever faithful men. Judge
Settle, Of North Carolina, has been spoken
of as his probable successor, but with
what grounds weare not informed Neither
are We familiar with his history as a juri5t.
It is believed, TOO, that Chief Justice
Chase will retire soon. as his health is
Jet feeble, and IL is really unequal to the
onorous duties Of his position. A trip to
California this winter has been recon-
mend5d for him il hopes Of at'ording him
relief.
President Grant viii therefore almost
certainly be called upon to nominate two
members Of the Supreme Court before his
second term expires Judge Nelson is the
last remaining member Of the court who
took part III tho bred Scott decision in
1886, Judges Campbell and Curtis Who
were members al that time, having re-
signed. All the rest are dead. The court
vas then constituted thus: Chief Justice
fancy, Associate Justices Wayne, Greer,
Catron, Mclean, Nelson, Daniel Curtis
and Campbell. The present judges are:
Chief Justice Chase, Associate Justices
Nelson, Clifford. Swayna, Miller, Davis,
Field, Strong ana Bradley. The two last
named were appointed by President |
Grant: Judges Chase, Miller Swayne.
Field and Davis we're appointed by Lin |
coin; Judge Clifford ly Buchanan, and |
jalge Nelson, We believe by Polk,
