ORLEANS FRIDAY, OCTOBER TO- 1873
Financial.

The rates on the street for money we're
higher yesterday than they we're on Wednes-
day, closing at from four and half to five
per cent. There was considerable demand
for bank notes, one transaction being men
| toned of $4,000 and another of $40, 600,
with large number of smaller sales. The
| greater proportion of the money left the
| city. The amounts that remain are only
used to pay small debts, freight charges
and the like. This has been the case for the
| past ten days. A hundred and fifty thou
| sand dollars of money has been daily sold
and fifty per cent Of it has left the city.
This drain is increasing. The income does
| not balance it. For the ten days past per-
haps $4,000 would be an average daily in
come by express. Something over 100000
Was received in the last three days by this
channel But this does not cover the Outgo
The comments on the bank statement

satisfaction in the exhibit. A liability of
$5,245.244 OS is not secured by a showing OF

if the restrictions on depositors were re.

a contemporary deduces from these
figures the idea that these State banks are
as sound as any in the globe. and if the
community could have the same faith all
difficulty would be removed. In the same
column footing Of other unavailable assets
is given to strengthen the position. but as
the footing is million dollars more than
the Ggures will admit of, 1t had little effect
on any one who could add four items. The
omission OF loans on stock, 81 l,03I .IlS q.

INLAND Quarantine in Te1aa.

A special dispatch from Navasota to the
Galveston Ne,cs, dated the seventh instant,
gives US an idea how the thing works in
that country:
The trains under prohibition to pass down
from Millican were granted special permit
to pass through the city without stopping,
on account OF great many Migrants, men,
women and children, who were suffering
from want of food. The quaraneine is still
in force, and will not allow any one to pass
through south, though no danger can be
apprehended from yellow fever. as the
weather is clear and cool.
Adjutant General Britton left Millcan
yesterday for Hearne. He goes thence to
Houston, via Huntsville and the Great
Northern railway. He may intend to carry
into execution his threats oy attempting to
raise the quarantine by force.
erything is very quiet. The excite
ment abated considerably on the appear.
ance of some little frost this morning.
Court commences at Anderson Tomorrow.
No mail either way today.

what Jasper Blackburn Thinks.

Our good friend, w. Jasper Blackburn
IN bis last issue of the Niad, reads us q les.
son in journalism. He finds fault because
the REPUBLICAN makes extracts from Dem
ocratlc papers in the country; and again.
Ii the New Orleans REPUBLICAN can find
the least SHADOW of decent political ex.
preston n Democratic sheet, it copies it
with a gusto as proof Of "better state of
1eeI1ng in the'country," thus often aiding
sneaklng, hypocrltical assassius, or the aid
ers and abettors OF assassins, TO hide their
vlllalnles and deceive the public alta dis
tance
Doubtless Mr.. Blackburn can conduct the
Itoa better than we would he able 70: but,
so far as a trst-class metropolitan paper
like the REPUBLICAN is concerned. we have
class of readers who are anxious 70 hear
both sides Of a question, and are intelligent
enough TO draw their own conclusions.
II our loyalty to the Republican party is
to be impeached because We speak we'll cf
political opponent now and then, we are
very sorry for it; but we know Of no CO.
laborer in our political vineyard who is
more given TO little acts Of courtesy and
kindness to political foes than ous good,
warm hearted friend Jasper.
Glancing down his columns we tnd an
instance in the following generous mention
Of Major Moncnre, Of Shreveport:
We trust he may survive. 4 moro worthy
gentleman, in our estimation, does no, live
anywhere. Shreveport can no. afford to
lose so gallant and true 2 citizen. She has
but few such.

EncOEraging,

In conversation with a gentleman planter
of this parish few days since, whose
opinion can be relied on as being as intelli
gent and correct any other man in st.
James, we learn from him that there would
be at least 1000 hogsheads of sugar more
made in the parish this year than the last
Considering that there was tolerably
good yield the last season, this fact should
be regarded as somewhat encouraging to
the future interests of our planters.
On the plantation of Mr.. Jules Druilhet.
in the upper part of the parish, there is
under cultivation about 500 acres of land.
which will yield an average of one and a
half hogsheads of sugar to the acre, and
there are other plantations in the parish
which will produce like yield.-.St. James

New ferls lOu8shOremen Threatening q
strike.

The longshoremen met in New Yori, on
last Saturday evening, TO demonstrate
against the irnpositions prsc.iced by the
stevedorss. The following instances will
illustrate their complaints:
Some weeks ago they were loading one OF
tho National Lines steamers. which had
come in late and was making up time. The
gang had been hard at work over twenty
hours. Several times they had demonstrated
with the stevedore about oyerieading the
sling. He told them to go ahead, and swore
at them. A bale of goods fell into the
water, and each of the men was fined s. 80,
or S2l4 One man belonging to a gang
which had been fined S. each, was at home
sick at the time of the accident. On his
recovery he went to TO get So due him for
work done before the accident. He was
told he must pay S. fine, as he belonged to
the gang. He refused, and was discharged.
If these abuses are not corrected the long
shoremen will strike.-New York San.

The Vacant Chief Jneticeshfps


! WASHINGTON, October 3-No nomination
! for Chief Justice will be made until Con
gresS meets, and then, it is understood, one
| will very soon be sent in. Many good
| reasons for this course are apparent. No
! interests whatever will suffer by the va
cancy existing in the chief justiceship till
December or January. or even for longer
! time. The business of the court proceeds
I as usual in the absence of o Chief Justice.
| The senior associate justice. Of course pre-.
| sides. Gases are heard and decided, and in
the event OF a tie, in appeal cases. which
| are nearly all thac come before the court
the lower court Judgment stands affirmed.
| Therefore. there is no public necessity
for an appointment before the meeting OF
Congress- Blu: let us suppose that im.
portant cases in which the politicians
and the people Of the country take an inter.
! est must be beimmediately heard and decided.
Add the hypothesis that Chief Justice
were appointed, and had taken bis seat on
the bench, and in advance OF confirmation
by the Senate participated in the decisions
OF the court. Manifestlv, he would be in
most embarrassing position, for if the dc.
cisiOn accorded with the views OF the poht-
ical majority that held the power of cor.
tirmation, the opposition would not hesitate
to charge upon him partisan bias. or that he
had been influenced by his uncertain
tenure. Ii the opinion were in violent
opposition 10 the wish of the majority,
il is no doubt true that for that reason
alone his future confirmation would be
doubtful. if not impossible. 1t is hardly
probable that any of the eminent men
from whom the selection will be made
would like TO take the chief justiceship on
trial-tO sit for Ieonth or two rendering
opinions to be reviewed by Senators, who
would vote on the question of confirmation
as they were pleased with those opinions
or the contrary. That Chief Justice sit
ting and acting without confirmation by the
Senate might be forced, however, reluct-
antly. into d position, no matter how indie
pendently taken, that might jeopardize his
confirmation, or subject him to injurious
and unfair criticism, would seem TO be rea-
son enough for not making An appointment
during the recess OF Congress, and in the
absence OF any pressing public demand.
At any rate the President will act deliber-
Ately, and according 20 his own own views

New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad.

Notice is given that on and after the tif-

train leaving this city at 3:l5 7. NJ, and re.
turning at 10 A. NJ. will be discontinued,
except the trains running east on Saturday
and coming IN on Monday, which will be
continued as usual. This action is taken
on account of most of the summer resi-
dents of the watering places having re-
turned to the city, and those who remain
there being amply accommodated by the
Saturday evening and Monday morning
trains.
We are informed by Mr.. E. p. Shute, gen.
eral ticket agent Of this road. who has just
returned from trip to Chicago and the
North. that from and after today the
crews of the various trains will be allowed
to pass through Mobile by the authorities
Of that city. For the past few weeks they
have been compelled to stop over at Biloxi

General Henry c. Wayne, in 3 :ecen,
speech before the City Council of Savan-

lmprovident and dissolute race; but sub
NIT to the good sense of this chamber, made
ur as it is of our first and best merchants,
whether or not 10000 of people. white or
colored, who. in six years, have laid UP
$26, 600 900 over and above their wants, can
be idle, improvident or dissolute; and if
such people, who have shown themselves
to be saving, are not deserving of encour-
agement ard of instruction in the invest
ments at home that will tend to the benefit
of the commonwealth of which, with our
selves, they are an essential element, and
from which they as well as we are to derive
our own living and well being, and good
footing for our posterity!"

him placed IN our jail for afe-keeping.
Judge Ray refused to issue an order for his

Sheriff Liddell to summon sufficient posse
IN Kichland to guard the Jail at Rayvile.
We learn from the Delhi Chroaicie that a
considerable body of armed and disguised
men appeared in Rayville last Tuesday
night and tried to get possession of the Jail
keys, but failed to find them. We hope
that the demonstration will not be repeated,
