New ORLEANS, June 10, 1874.

Ts the Hon. L. A. Witt, Mayor of New Orleans:
Mr.. A. Bernan having, in his dire neces-
sity, called upon y"u for aid, allow citizen
to give you some reasons for refusing to
lend him helping hand for the further
ance of his selfish and silly purposes.
Only last night MIR. Bernan and his asso-
ciates have been properly designated by a
dairyman as being the odious matter
squeezed from that political sore, the last
that compliment as he plcases, We will
now more particularly deal with him in his
actien toward the different city railroad
companies.
You no doubt know that the city railroad
companies Of this place have 10 conductors
(as at the North) upon their cars, who are
constantly calling upon the passengers to
close up and make room for more to squeeze
in. If our cars are crowded at particular
times, it is done by the people themselves,
who are always in haste to get home, and
who all wish to return at the same hour,
although they may have been during the
greater part Of the day going to any one Of
our suburban places of amusement. So
much for the companies crOwding the cars.
Now let us see what Mr.. Bernan knows
about the capacity Of mule or horse for
drawing cars upon railroad.
A horse can draw eight tons upon a rail
road ut the rate of six miles per hour for
two consecutive hours. Now, one of our
city cars weighs 1915 pounds, so passengers
at 100 pounds each (including women and
children) weigh $500 pounds making II total
of 1895 pounds, equal to tons and 15-1O0.
The mules on the city roads, work on an
average, about two hours out OF the twenty
four, and those two hours are as far removed
from each other as practicable.
The best proof that their animals are not
overwOrked is their excellent condition and
the mortality, which averages only three
per cent. per annum, or three in a hundred.
Can the drays and floats of the city show
as small a proportion
Now, Mr.. Mayor, if you wish "to immor-
talize yourself" do tell Mr.. Bernau to go to
schoo. and learn his lessons before he at
tempts to teach his betters.
ONE Who KNOWS WHAT HE is TALKING
ABOUT.

The Courts.
Superior District Court.

In the case of Wallis VS.. the NV Orleans
aud Carrollton Railroad, the jury yesterday
returned verdict in favor Of plaintiff for
$1,000. This suit was instituted to recover
the sum of $4,000 damages. to which
amount plaintiff alleged he had suffered by
the defendants discharging him from their
employ as driver on the false grounds that
he haa appropriated to his own use some
OF the compa .y's funds, and by the use OF
their influence keeping him from obtaining
other en-. plOyment.

ENORMOUS TAxATION.-Th The Alexandria
Caucasian, in exposing the corruption and
unparalleled rascality Of the Radical officials
Of Natchitoches parish, puts the taxes paid
by the people for 1873 at the enormous snm
of seventy nine mills on the dollar! And
this, too, to be paid by people already i'm.
poverished by repeated failure OF crops and
o. her causes. The Caucasian justly remarks
that no Asiatic despotism of modern times
tells such a story of public plumber. The
article concludes with the following prOphe-
cy, which we commend to the earnest con-
sideration Of all scallawags and carpet
baggers, and especially the former, because
nothing better was to be expected from the
latter:
Those, who for the sake of Office and pub
lie plumber, have affiliated with ignorant,
superstitious and credulous negroes, and
through them trampled upon the laws Of
morality and honesty, and plundered and
robbed defenseless people. may rest as
.sured that nothing can protect their memory
and their children, and their children's chill
dren even to tbs third and fourth genera
ton, from the eternal intamy which will
ever hang around their names.

Tobacco Is likely to prove a valuable veg
etable to California. The. Gilroy advocate
says the force of hands at the tobacco facto-

time, and that tho shipments East will
average 1t least 10000 cigars and 10000
pounds Of smoking tobacco monthly during
the next year.

WIN. Young, of Ohio, being tired of life,
took his revolver, stepped to the rear of his
house, and proceeded as follows: The first
shot was in the forehead, the second behind
the right ear, the third in the back of the
head, the fourth behind the left ear, the fifth
in the left breast below the nipple, the ball
barely missing the heart. One ball entered
the head; the others coursed under the
Scalp. A determined suicide.

We have now before US a number OF books al,
bearing more or less directly on the leading tneo-
logical questions of the hour. The books are all OF
American origin. One Is from the pen of o well
known divine, the Rev. Mark Hopkins, d. d. DR..
Hopkins grappes with the old ditiauity-the en-
cacy OF prayer But, while he handles the
question with ability ana skill, we must
be allowed to say that ne furnishes to
the theological thinker not single thought
that Is new. 1t Is the old story, reason.
ably we'll told but 1t neither eniightens on the
one hand nor converts on the other. Suboined
we give specimen OF the Doctors reasonng:-
"Wpat Is miracle2" he asks ain the Bible the
supernatural and the miraculous are not carefully
distinguished. Indeed, the word supernatural Is
not In the Bible at all. The two are grouped as
'signs,' wonders and miracles but we need TO
find distinction in Kind. In itself miracle Is
not different from any other event. That an event
should become a miracle requires two things.
First, there must be laws OF nature previously es-
tabshed and those laws must be transcribed. In
the beginning, before the laws OF nature were
established, miracle was impossible. The crea-
ton OF the world was not miracle. And Sec
ond, the laws Of nature must be transcribed by
direct act OF will II toss this book in the air 1t

use one law Of nature to counterfeit another. 1t
Is all natural, except that act OF Intervention by
which the counteraction is brought about. That
Is supernatural, but not miraculous But If now
were to toss the book into the air, and, by
direct act OF my will with no means inter-
vening, IL were to remain suspended, tnat would
be miracle. There would be no violation or sus-
pension OF any law OF nature. as some suppose
there must be, IN miracle Gravitaton would
act as before, as it did wneu the book was sus-
pended by o cord but would, as in that case, DO

A short communication from an es-

suggests Calhoun, on the Hiwassee, as
n suitable place to hold the proposed
Convention to nominate a candidate for
Senator. WE have not the slightes: OBJ
lection; that place Is full of genuine
hospitality, isn't much afflicted with
those modern bugaboos termed "rings
and cliques," aud would suit us just as
we'll as another. But the duty Of Sc
lecting place and time to hold the
Convention rests with the Committee
men of the six counties composing the
District, and ii is important that they
should act at once. There arc three
candidates already in the ficld-Jarna-
gin of Polk. aud Yearwood and lIarbi.

ers jus; ready to emerge from the shell.
Prompt steps are necessary TO prevent
complications which will prove fatal to
the canvass. We don't propose to take
an active part in selecting candidate ;
but If the Convention should present n
good aud acceptable man, will do all we
can consistently to elect him. The hca.
w work Of the canvass always devolves
on a few individuals; the contest viii
DO close under any circumstances, and
for one we don't want to carry any dead
weight. We hope the Committeeman
will act at once, and that they will give
the suggestion Of our friend at Calhoun
due consideration.
Since the above was put in type, the
Chairman of McMinn County Commit
tee has handed in call for Conven-
ton, which will be found on The next
page. Athens is mentioned rs the place
at which to hold the Convention, which
of course is TO be understood merely in
the ligh. of q suggestion.
