Stirring up the street Railroad Com.
pauiea.


Administrator Lewis has become weary
Of the in difference shown by the several
street railroad companies concerning Ills
directions and their own duties. Patience
la. ceased TO be virtue in this instance,
an. the resul: is that the Administrator
has written fnal letter to the most negli-
gent companies, informing them that unless
they perform all that 10 required of them
by their charters the city will make all
necessary repairs on the streets on which
the lines run, and cause the. companies to
make speedy settlements The Canal and
Claiborne streets line, OR that portion of it
on Common, from Dryades street out, will
be attended to frst as that street stands
greatly in need OF repairs. The steamer of
Philadelphia No. IA fnds it very difficult to
roll out to fire, and must soon cease to
operate unless the condition Of things is
remedied- Carriage&avoid that section,
even when taking patents 70 the Chari.J
Hospital or to the Hotel Dieu. The St.
Charles street aud the Crescent City lines
are also 8, rred up, and unless they COM
menoe work thin three days will find
large bills to pay

COLUMBUS. July :O.-The peoples con.
vent.on to-day adopted the following plat
form with much enthusasm:

Seconl-Thac both the Republican and
Democratic parties have outiived the issues
il which they had their origin. and have
out'yed their usefr ness, and a new orgsni-
za..on Of parties is deui: 1ied il the in

Railroad Matters.

A rumor prevails among partie, inter
ested in railroad matters that there has
been combination Of railroad interests
looking to the completion Of railroad be-
tween here and Shreveport. This is GER
ta;n!y good news and we hope it may prove
true. Any combination that will give New
Orleans speedy railroad connection with
tit to both of these places, and the State at
large. 1t would be well if combination of
railroad interests could also effect a speedy
building of railroad connection between
here and Houst N, and it is not impro babe
that the combination looking to our con-
nection With Shreveport HAY also be able
to give US a railroad to Houston.

| of Mr.. Ingraham, were in an abominable
J condition, the distric: and schoolhouse
| committees were directed to examine the
property. especially that of Mr.. Camp.

tracted to purchase.
DR.. Clark offered resolution that a com
| mittee be appointed to confer with the City

Of the McDonoush school fund, for the re-
| pair and erection of schoolhouses.
Mr.. Calhoun. assistant superintendent,
was called on for facts. He stated there
was $522, $50 Of the fund invested ia rail
road bonds. The city was also indebted 10
the fund $525. l3S, which it took from the
tund for the defense Of the city in 1861,
supplying its place with Confederate bonds,
which afterward proved worthless. In 1861!
$4,000 of the fund was used for repairs.
Since that time none of it has been used
for schools. Several schools had been pre-
viously built from the fund. There is now
in the hands Of the trustees So, ,36l Of iu-
terest, which they intend to invest in gold
bonds. The income i. from $4,000 to
s5G000 per annum, and some of it oush: to
be used for school purposes.
The motion was carried.
