BRIEF MENTIoN.-Jehn Saith is ont and
injured this time. He complains that Jeff
Williams fiddled him out Of something, al
the head of St. Louis street. On this the
jeff was arrested by order OF Captain
Montamat.
Mr.. 4. ROLAND missed $25 of his wealth.
and about that time Mary Mcclellan turned
up missing. Officer Boylson found Mary
on Burgundy street and arrested her as an
accessory to the theft.
William Gates may be very proper per-
eOn, but circumstances are against him.
Mrs Ellen Williams, on the down hill road
of life. was 60 badly annoyed by him at the
head of Canal street, that policeman took
him to prison.
Yesterday morning we had northern airs
and q southern sun.
Dust reigns, but the clouds do not.
1t is EASY to know when q man has been
on the levee. His shoes are whitened with
shell dust.
People who reside outside the waterwOrks
limits obtain their water supply from street
cutters. hydrants being permitted to remain
open q pOr ion of the day. Unless it rains
eoon everything will drv up and blow away
in the form of dust.
1t appears that the building at the cor.
ner Of St. Charles and Canal streets is not
to be torn down. A portion is still occupied,
there being no fear that the roof will crush
down again now that AL the faiters anu
slate are removed.
Frank johnson is cook and was so hum
Cry that he stole y box of tobacco at the
head of Cont street. Mr.. j. A. Ruiz OBJ
iected, go the cook was calaboosed.
If ward politicians must congregate on
street corners and fight their successful
battles over again. they should remember
that pedestrians have some rights to the
banquettes at the corner of St. Charles and
Gravier streets. For several days past IL
crowd through the mass of men who con-
gregated in that locality.
New cups and chains have been placed az
the little fountain in front of our office, and
it is hoped that the torchlighters will help
themselves to all the water they want to-
night.

A FINE SAFE.-One Of the fineet safes Ia
the city is TO be disposed by auction by
George Pearson, auctiOneer, on tho - in
etant. at No. lS2 Canal street. the former
Office Of the New Orleans branch of the
Freedmen's Savings Bank. 1his safe was
manufactured to order two years since by
the American Steam Safe Company. and is
IN rs good condition &s when new. Its
elegant finish Inside and out 10 as bright
and perfect as when first laid in, and every.
thing about Is in perfect order.
1t is both burglar and fire proof a. are
al the cafes Of this company. The outer
doors are divided into two portions, the OK.
ternal one being of the same thickness and
improved material for resisting fire and
burglars tools as the best safe used.
Within, separated by an air chamber, is a
sheet iron compartment, containing perpen.
Should any fire to which the safe might be
exposed be sufficient to heat the outer door.
through its six inches Of iron and filing.
the heat would melt the solder in the cham.
Der, and steam would immediately be gen
Grated. filing the air chamber and safe,
cutting of the air, and preventing fire in
the safe, and saturating the wood work. As
long - the steam lasts the safe can not burn,
end the capacity Of the tanks is sufficient
for several days. These doors are secured
by eight bolts and opened by an improved
combination lock.
Within is the ordinary shelving and book
racks, made of the best materials and in
excellent condition, and the burglar proof
chest, which is six or eight inches higher
than usual. The walls Of this are four
inches thick. and the door constructed to
entirely prevent breaking open either by
wedRing or blasting. For the former the
tbree-quartef inch plates are arranged to fit
into each other 60 that q wedge would have
no effect, no matter how applied. To pre-.
vent the insertion of powder the chest
must be made air tight. Into one of the
grooves vulcaDized rubber is inserted,
ridge of the door, when completely closed,
the hinge fits close at once, but at the hinge
q small space is unavoidably left, for no
door can be shut by hinge and not leave
. space somewhere. 1t must be 'set' in
each portion bearing equally on the CORE
spending part it touches. To accom- plish
this the Damon patent lever hinge is used.
BY turning q lever the door 10 slightly
raised and pushed back. Another lever at
the other end fixes that still firmer. The
bolts, four of them, are then shot by Ser.
geant g. Greenleaf's combination lock, the
pressure of tho levers removed, and the
chest is locked, air tight, without q space
the width Of the thickness of gold leaf. 1t
can then only be opened by drilling. The
lock, hinges and levers might Oe knocked
of, but only An apparently solid block OF
iron would remain.
The safe weighs five tons, and cost the
Freedman's Bank, two years ago, $500,
$4,000. Two other cafes, Of Diebold &
Kienzie's make, will also be sold. One Of
them is of large size and valuable. is fire
proof and suitable for any large counting
room. The other is q small one. and would
be found useful in an office.

NEROISM IN THE SOUTH.

The New Orleans Bulletin relates a little
incident, which goes to show the abject
tyranny by which the people of the South
are governed, and the heartless character of
the unscrupulous wretcbes who rule over
them. That this condition of affairs is the
fruits of Republican avalrciousness, licen-
tiousness and total depravty, which turn a
deaf ear to the appeals of justice, and
stamp freedom beneath their feet without
mercy, none with ordinary comprehension
can doubt. The Bulletin says, "while its
reporter awaited the verdict of a case which
involved the lives of eight white men, his
attent on was called to a side room, where sat
Governor Kellogg and Judge Wood, playing
setback euchre." Thus, while eight men
were being balanced between life and death.
in an adjoining room q man pretending to
be Governor of the State and a United
States Judge sat chuckling over the ace,
and watching for the right bower to turn up
This" says the Bulletin, "is fit COM
mentary on the condition the people, of
Louisiana, have been brought to, and no
argument could be more effective. Cover
nor entertains the Judge by a game of
cards, while waiting for verdict Of guilty
and eight men looE through the bars of the
parish prison. waiting for their liberty.
Nero fddled, while Rome was burning.
Kellogg sprees, while the people he claims
to govern are robbed Of their liberties, and
are threatened with death. o, righteous
Judge! o. noble Governor!

RAlLkOAD LANDS,

From the annual report of B. B. Red
ding, land agent for the Central Pacif
Railroad Company, dated July 1st, 1874,
the Bee CLEANS the following statistics
"The total amount of lands granted to the
Central Pacific road and its Oregon branch
is 1922 400 acres. Up to June 30
1874 the total amount sold was 453 ,818 10
acres, which were disposed of for 81 49,
1858 80, being an average of a little more
than 81 123 cents per acre. Of these lands,
there were sold previous to Oct 1st, 1870.
l27 .637.55 acres. for $299, ,065 so, being
an average of 50 81 per acre. From Oct
Let. 1870, to Dec. 3lst, 1872, there were
sold 122 1864 acres, for $484 ,227 81 >,
being an average of So 944 per acre
From December 3lst, 1872, to December
31st, 1878, there were sold SO, 1888 60
acres. for $4lO,3l4 80. being an average
of 81 per acre From December 31st,
1873, to June 30tb, 1874, there were sold
A .682 40 acres, for $270159 80, being
an average of 50 04.6 per acre.
These figures are very significant in
showing the increased wealth and permanent
prosperity OF the country. 1t is here shown
that land. which is the real wealth of the
country. has gradually risen in value in the
last four years respectively as follows:
81 81. So 94a, 81, 50 04 per acre. These
figures show that average wild land, whcl,
was dull sale at 50 80 per acre, in 1870,
now sell more readily for SO per acre. Can
any one doubt, in consideration of the fact
that the country is fast settling up, and
that annually the area of wild land greatly
decreases, but what this same ratio Of in
crease of value will continue for some time
to come? Aud if assured that the price OF
land is rapidly on The increase, is it not rea-
sonable to suggest that the land speculation
is a safe one? There are farmes in this
part Of the country, to-day, tolerably well
improved. which could be bought for from
~ TO IS per acre; and we venture the as
sertion that parties who may per chance
sell out now. at these figures, if they should
come back here ten years hence and wish
to purchase their old homes, would find
they could not be had for less than five
times what they sold them for. We may
perceive the shadow to have moved, bul
cannot see it moving; so with the advance
in real estate. 1t may he so slow as to
make no sensible impression upon US as it
rises. but on looking back, we need glance
hpt short distance 70 discern the difference.

ANCIENT history fails to give an instance
where in times of profound peace any country
suffered from such stagnation as does the
South to-day. For years there has been no
improvement in anything. The social con-
dition of the people is lamentably depraved,
and the political condition of the Southern
States defes description. As is aptly re-
marked by an exchange, "the negro who
ten years ago was the slave, living but to
obey bis master, is to-day sitting in govern
ment over the whites, making laws for the
men, who formerly bought and sold them. "
Where the negroes have IA majority they are
becoming so troublesome that a war of races
is feared, and they hold the citizens in IA
state of terror. Think of this condition of
affairs hached and fostered by the radical
party in its rage for spoils, and then talk
bout it being a success, is enough to turn
the cast-iron stomach of a brass monkey,
The radical party has been success in rob-
hing the Treasure, disgracing the country
and impoverishing and depressing the Ia
boring classes; but every measure for good
has been hidden away, or trampled beneath
the feet Of its thieving hordes. II the ruin
Of the country is the aim and desire Of the
American people, it is Il success, and we
can assure those interested, that if they will
let it alone, it will take but a few more
years to accomplish that end.
