Perhaps the most prominent feature OF Wall-st
to-day has been the weakness and Generalization of
the foreign exchange market. Twice were rates re-
duced to-day and at last to 81 81 to the pound ster
ling for 90 days bills, and to 81 s6i for sight. This
same grade of bills could be bought outside at 81 SO
and 81 sji and Bank of California bills sold as low
as 81 81. There is demand for bills just now
and buyers waiting the effect of the prospective
heavy exports of cotton, and owners are said
to be on the eve of making 90 days drafts
to cover such exports. The lowering of
sterling igave TO gold a weakening tendency, and
opening at 100. the price declined to 1921 small

INTERVENTION NEEDED,

Notwithstanding our congratulation!
that the war between our quarrelsomt
neighbors had been terminated by mutual
and reciprocal concessions, we are panied
to learn that the conflict has broken out
and RACES with renewed bitterness. This
time it is the Times that has been attacked
in its most tender point. Its position as
the first engineer among the editors Of
Louisiana has been impugned. Its magis-
terial beard has been plucked by some
whipster set on by its opponent, and it
threatens the temerarious youngster with
condign chastisement, even if it has to
pursue him into the typical 'sglass house,
of his alleged instigator. Thereupon the
PIC slaps its hand significantly upon its
hilt, as much as to say, "Sir, 1 wear
sword"
Since the determination of the corpor-
ate authorities of Bay st. Louis not to
permit that attractive watering place to
be turned into cemetery, these outbreaks
OF temper among us have been, if possible,
on the increase. When, therefore, promi-
nent parties are thus parching their hon.
my, whetting their tomahawks and scalp
ing knives, and putting on the paint for
the war path, should there be nothing to
protect this peaceful community from the
chance-medley Of collision between
them. Brooks has skedaddled, the John
MES OF Baxter ''come marching home, and
there is no more s'dole' in the Arkansas
''Astolet." The United States troops are
not needed, and may be safely held in hand
to reinforce General Emory should that
gallant officer need help. In the mean
time we presume the federal military will
have its vigilant eye on the two belliger-
ents, the Times and the Pic, prepared to
intervene at the first demonstration of
fragrant war between them. Owing to the
of the hostile foes, it might be
we'll to station provisional section of
artillery at the mouth Of Commercial
alley. A well directed stream of fire
would effectually keep these belligerents
part. With the rigid enforcement of the
luel quarantine, and small force of fed |
raj troops, We may be enabled to repair
he levees and gather what may be left of |
he crops, without danger from this inter-
lecine conflict which threatens the public
,eace.

SENATOR MERRIMON,s VIEWS

Senator Merrimon, of North Carolina,
on Thursday RECALLED the Senate with his
exceedingly limited views on the Louis
lana question. If any OF the Senators
received any new light upon the subject
from : the Senator's illustrations, they are
more fortunate than we are. His defni-
ton of de .facto is new; but that is all
there is about it. If there are no stronger
reasons for upsetting our State govern
ment than those offered by this recent
accession to the Senate, we may presume
the friends of the Fusionists will be driven
to rely upon some other controlling infu-
ence. 1t does not make much difference,
however, by what measure a result is ar.
rived at. Whether the Senate shall come
to direct vote and defeat Carpenters
bill, or it be talked to death byits friends,
is all the same to us.

MECHANICAL COLLEGE.

We are gratifed to find the prompt or
ganization of the directory for the estab.
lishment of our Agricultural and Mechan.
ical College, and trust the institution
may go into operation at as early
a date as may be compatible with
the selection of competent conductors.
1t is presumed the directory will at once
advertise for applicant professors Of the
several departments Of education. The
| duties OF these professors are altogether
different from the usual course of instruc-
ton among US, and it will be well to have
those who have had some experience
or some special opportunities of observ-
ing the course of study and experiment
in similar schools.
The experiment now to be made is of
vital consequence to New Orleans, and it
should have all possible advantages. We
have unemployed thousands. We ex-
change our precious and peculiar pro-
ducts against the simplest manufactures
of others. We are thus always in debt
abroad. We have no ships nor mariners.
Our commerce is conducted by strangers,
and the shipping in our port belongs
elsewhere.
It's the object of mechanical schools
to qualify people for all branches of the
mechanic arts, and for all the services of
maritime enterprise.
The Mechanical College of New Orleans
Will, therefore, educate our engineers,
architects, machinists, chemists, and we
trust to have school ship added to the |
lecture rooms. The material for fitting
these schools abounds among US. The
