Who Is Guilty?

Only short time since an order
came from the east to parties in this
city to rent nine small houses, suitable
for families the coming winter.
Scarcely day passes but similar or
der comes for one or more houses.
Houses all full, and none to rent A
good reliable man informs us that his
house with five rooms, cost 5000, and
that he can take S25 per month rent
for it at any time for year. This
amounts to $500, being fifty per cent.
on the investment the first year, bet
ter than money loaned at one-and-a-
half or two per cent a month.
What we need is one hundred such
houses erected Immediately. They
will all be occupied, and the parties
after few months residence here will
settle with us, many perhaps perma-
nently, and purchase property. With
out these accommodations they will
seek other cities having them.
Who is responsible for this criminal
negligence? Is it the rich and moneyed
men of our city, the Chamber of Com
merce, or the strangers seeking Il
home among us? Let Us have House
Association. At any rate more

a NEWSPAPER paragraph states that
the New York Post has become re-
markable of late for its editorial
changes. William Cullen Bryant is
nominally its editor, but he does not
write ten lines a month. Parke God
win, his lieutenant and son-in-law, is
the real editor, though he, being in
delicate health, contributes very little
to the paper, and does not 60 to the Of
fee sometimes more than once fort
night. The working editor is Sydney
Howard Gay, formerly of the New
York Tribune, and latterly of the Chi
cago Tribune. Goodwin has not now
any interest in the Post. 1t is owned
in this wise: William Cullen Bryant
holds 40 shares; Isaac Henderson, the
publisher, 40, and their two daughters,
Miss Julia Bryant and Miss Hender-
son, hold one each, making the entire
100 shares.

: THE Nation calls attention to pro-
vision in the national banking law,
which seems to have been almost or
totally forgotten, namely, which pro-
hibits national banks from certifying
any checks, unless the drawer has on
deposit at the time IAN amount of
money equal to the amount specified
in the check" and subjects any bank
which disregards the prohibition, to
the penalty of being wound up by the
comptroller. 1t seems, therefore that
if the comptroller had done his duty,
this practice of bolstering up unlaw-
ful speculations might have been stop
ped long ago.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE President
leaves early next week for Missouri and re,
turns the first of May.
Secretaries Robeson, Belkhap and Cres-
we'll were absent from the Cabinet meeting
to-day.
The President has appointed K. NJ. Rev
polds collector of customs at Mobile, vice
Miller, removed.
General Sherman and General Mcdowell,
commanding the division of the South, had
a consultation with the President today,
with view to the concentration of troops
in the interest of economy. General Me
Dowell leaves for his headquarters at Louis
vile in few days.
Surgeon Jack Parsons has been ordered
to the department of the South for duty.
The President has appointed X. B. Hayes,
assistant treasurer at Cincinnati.
The official returns received at the Bureau
OF Statistics show that during the quarter
which ended March 81, 1873. there arrived
at the port of New Orleans 1921 immigrants
Of various occupations; the greater number
being laborers. Of the total numbe ar
rived 482 hailed from Germany; England
and Wales, 4l0; Ireland, 67; France, 243;
other countries, so.
The evening Star says the story printed
in New York paper to the effect that all
,he available troops in the country are being
concentrated along the Rio Grande, and
tnat predatory expedition is contemplated
" the United States against Mexico, is pro-
n"unced the veriest bosh by General Sher-
nan, who states that the number of troops
iii Texas has not been increased for five
years, and that it is in contemplation to
withdraw the troops from the southern
and western portions of the State rather
than to increase the force in that vicinity.
The only recent change in the movement
of troops in Texas is the transfer of the
Fourth Cavalry twhite) from Fort Richard
son, in the northern part of the State, to
the Rio Grande, in the place of the Ninth
Cavalry (colOred) This change has no
significance whatever, but is simply in ac.
cOrdance with the principle that troops
should not remain too long IN one place.
Changes of troops in all parts of the West
and South are common, especially in the
spring, when many OF them are necessitated
by the hostile attitude of the Indians.
While in Texas the Secretary OF War and
General Sheridan will inspect the different
posts, and will doubtless modify the present
disposition OF troops in the State, but
beyond this it is not apprehended that any
thing warlike will be hone.
