New ORLEANS, May 4, 1874.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
A majority of the property holders on
Baronne street, between Canal and Com
mon, have petitioned the City Council to
remove the cobble stone pavement from
their street and replace it with granite
block.
This shows q commendsble spirit Of lib
erality and enterprise on the part Of the
real estate owners.
The pavement of the street with square
block will be an improvement, but only q
partial improvement. Baronne street, near
Canal, is the terminus of two lines of street
cars-the Baronne, St. Charles and jackson
line and the Baronne, St. Charles and Car
rollton line. A double track ON Baronne
cars waiting for their turn to start, make
the end next to Canal street exclusively q
Car station.
The street is virtually walled up against
other vehicles. 1t is 90 central that it would
be much used, but pradent drivers 60 out
of their way to avoid the danger Of col.
lisions so liable to occur in passing through
the narrow space of the street left unOb-
structed by the oars.
Real estate on this block is greatly de-
preciated by the cars standing in the street.
There is triangular piece of ground vacant
on the corner Of Baronne and Common
streets, beside the University building; if
the track was run into this plot, it would
make an excellent terminus for the cars, at
the same time not in any way preventing
access to the University Though the front
and rear entrances.
If the company could use this ground,
they could have tive standing tracks lone
for each line) leading into the main track
going up town, which would enable the
starter to send off car of each line alter.
nately. o.
The diagram inclosed will explain every
thing. If the owners of property most in
terested-particularly the proprietor OF
Grunewald Hall-Y6uld take the proper
action about this matter, an arrangement
could be effected between the State and
city authorities securing to the railroad
company the use of the ground as the lower
terminus of their lines, and requiring its
occupation for that purpose forth with.
Let the block be paved with square
stones, but complete the Improvement by
removing the turn-table and tracks to the
University grounds.
Most respectfully. A CITIZEN.

The Durell Case.
The Durell Case.
The st. Louis Republican of the fourth
contains the following:


The st. Louis Republican Of the fourth
contains the following:
Judge Wilson, of Indiana, says, in answer
to the inquiries in the Republican's edito-
rial of Thursday last, headed "Wils0n,
Storey and Durel1," that the delay In the
report of the House Judiciary Committee
upon the Durell case is unavoidable. Tho
testimony taken by the sub-cOmmittee has
been printed and reported TO the full COM
mittee, which closes the labors and termi-
mates the responsibility of the sub commit
tee, of which he was chairman. The sub
committee was charged with the task Of
thority to make Q report directly to the
House. The printed testimony, which is
quite vOluminOus, has been in the hands Of
the members of the committee for several
weeks. 1t was intended to take up and dis
cuss the case and make an immediate report
at the time the printing Of the testimony was
completed, but the Geneva award bill inter
vened and its consideration, including the
hearing of figures by the counsel for various
claimants, occupied several weeks. Sew
eral other matters, among them the bank
rupt bill, occupie the attention Of the com
mittee from day to day Immediately after
the settlement Of the Geneva award. Then
General Butler went away and was absent
until within a day or two, and it was not
committee while the chairman was absent.
But this case will be the next matter at
tended to by the committee. Judge Wilson
regrets that the Republican should intimate
suspicion that he has been necessarily oc-
cupied with his duties in the District inves-
tigation, and on the floor of the House ever
since his return from Louisiana, and con-
sequently has not been able to press the
Durell matter in the Judiciary Committee,
as he might have done had his time
been uninterrupted with other duties. He
says he is willing and anxious to do all in
his power to expose and punish the dere-
lictiOns of offenders; but there is limit to
the amount of labor that any man can per-
form, and he is grieved that the impatieAce
of the Republican in relation to one mat
ter should have led it to overlook the de-
mands upon his time and energies, which
are made by other matters no less impOr-
tant to the cause of good government. Tho
Durell case would have probably been set
tied by the committee two weeks ago but
for Buffers absence. Mr.. Wilson added
that no one need be spprehensive that there
was any disposition on the part of the COM
mittee to avoid action in relation to this
matter. Action would be taken at the ear
| 1iest practicable day.

Despite all expectations and promises to
the contrary the Louisiana bill still drags
its slow length along through the Senate
debates. Yesterday Mr.. Merrimon finished
q speech on the subject begun the day be-
fore. 1t ls also stated that Mr.. Carpenter
has little more shot to pour in as a part
ing salute when the bill again comes to the
surface, which it is expected will be on
Monday or Tuesday. The scheme for
new election in Louisiana was abandoned
months ago. What few friends it then had
have either changed their minds, as a gen
eral thing, or else have become very luke
warm. At this hour it seems little better
than the extent of folly to talk of holding q
special election in that State any time
previous to the regular election
there. If any real good were to come
out OF its long and tedious discussion, that
wOuld be sufficient excuse for its contin-
uance even still longer, but it looks very
much like a useless stirring up OF bad blood.
After the experience of this past winter in
the Southern States, the opinion throughout
the South must have become general that
federal Intervention in their troubles will
no longer be permitted, whatever may have
been necessary heretofore; that the South
must settle it's own internal troubles before
its own tribunals, and work out its own
political salvation. Ii the Louisians debate
has done anything to enforce this idea. il
has not been in vain--AHoHg EeeuiES
