Private vs.. Public Markets.

The Supreme Court Thursday reversed
the judgment of Judge Hawkins in the case
of the City VS.. j. Stafford. 1t will be re-
membered that the last Legislature passed
an act making it illegal for any one to vend
comestibles within twelve squares of any
public market. Mr.. Stafford being the pro-
prietor of private establishment resisted
the law, and the case in the lower court was
decided in his favor and its unconstitution-
atty declared.
The Supreme Court now overruled this
and ordered that the injunction prayed for
by plaintiff be granted and perpetuated,
enjoining and restraining the defendant
from opening, conducting or carrying on, or
continuing any private market or place of
business for the sale of fresh meats, fresh
fish, poultry, game, vegetables, ETC., in the
city of New Orleans within the space and
distance of twelve squares of any public
market under the jurisdiction and authority
of the Administrator of Commerce of said
city, and otherwise violating in any manner
the provisions of an act to regulate the pri-
vate markets in the city of New Orleans
and for other purposes, passed 26th January,
1874. Plaintiff is to recover from defendant

THE THIRD TERM.

The Chicago Tribune says that Grant, by
his veto Of the imitation bill, has killed two
of bis competitors Morton and Logan dead
as smelts, and considers that Blaine is the
only dangerous rival the President now has
in the Republican party.
Morton, the Tribune thinks, was formi-
dable rival, by reason of his iron will, his
prestige of success, bis thorough devotion
to the supposed interests Of the party, and
his unscrupulousness, but his advocacy Of
the initiation bill has pretty effectually killed
him, while Logan has the salary grab as
well as the initiation folly to drag him down.
Both these aspiring demagogues may be
regarded as laid upon the shelf, and it is
doubtful now whether either of them could
carry with him corporals guard in the
Republican party, for the success Of which
they have toiled increasingly and unscrupu-
lously. Neither Of these mon had in him the
elements which combine to make great men
or even great party leaders They were
both consumed by blind egotism, and their
idea of craftsmanship was to pander to the
low and leveling instincts of the mob. Their
distinguishing characteristics might be
summed up in three werds-egotism, ma
Lightly and ambition.
The Tribune, after dismissing all rivals in
the Republican ranks, proceeds to discuss
the chances of Grant in the Democratic
party as follows:
The next element to be taken into the &C
count is the Democratic party, and here, too,
Gen. Grant is lot without considerable show
Of strength. As Mr.. Watterson has shown,
the Southern Democrats are not averse to
him, and his recent action in Arkansas top
ping over the Brooks Government, which
was really the Republican party of that
State, and reinstating Baxter, who repre-
sents the opposition Of all shades, end most
especially the Democrats may be regarded
as an overture of very friendly and pract-
cal sort. If he should upset Kellogg in Louis
lana, as he ought to do and as he once
resolved to do, the Hgament would
be even more binding Moreover, Gen.
Grant never regarded himself as be-
holden to the Republican party at all. On
the contrary, it has been his theory that the
party was greatly beholden to him. In his
horizon there is no obstacle to his accepting
a Democratic nomination, or at least Demo-
cratic support, for a third term. Nor is
there any reason why the Democratic party,
having once supported Greeley, should not
now support Grant, if circumstances, in
1876, should seem to point that way In
fact, the heterogeneous state of politics
consequent upon the total disappearance Of
the slavery issue from the field makes any
thing possible, and makes that thing most
probable which is least expected. Party
lines no longer signify anything but former
prejudices and, as Gov. Randolph, of New
Jersey, has shrewdly remarked, the Demo-
cratic party since it voted for Greeley, has
fewer prejudices than the Republican.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEES.

We observe that the Democrats Of some
of the Wards, following the recommends
ton made by the BULLETIN some days past,
are calling meetings for the reorganization
of their clubs Whilst This move, under the
circumstances, is proper, it seems to us that
it would be more regular for the Democrat
ic State Central Committee to assemble
at an early day and issue an address
to the party throughout the State, and
at the same time to recommend imme-
date organization in every parish in the
State. The Parish Committee of Or
leans, too, should call upon the various
Wards to elect delegates to new committee,
with view of preparing for the coming
campaign.
We find the enemy thoroughly organized
in this city, where the white voters are
nearly twenty thousand in the majority, and
yet we may say that we are completely dis
organized and at sea. Having emerged
from the last campaign, split up INTO 50
many acknowledgements, Reformers, Flu
sionists and Liberal RepubIicans-no steps
have as yet been taken to bring about
consolidation Of these elements upon one
broad, liberal and comprehensive platform,
that will hold together and unity the dis
membered fragments of the last political
With the return of Gov. McEnery from
Washington, who is daily expected, we trust
the ball will be set in motion, and that from
this time forward the work of preparation
will commence in serious earnest.
If we would encourage our Democratic
friends abroad we must present bold and
determined front. an efficient organization
and clear and well-defined policy, with a
to wage, under the Demo-
cratic banner, an unoompromising war
against Radicalism, negro domination and
Let then, the State Central
Committee arouse from its slumber, and
cheer the people by giving some evidences
of vitality and some proof Of its patriotism
and fidelity to its party.

Now comes to the front Mr.. NJ. Segour
who was clerk of the Milton Jones pension
committee, VIII" states that he was its Secre-
tary, and thoroughly familiar with all the
circumstances of it's action. Milton Jones
never signed any report, for no report was
made. The amount of defalcation in the
Auditors Office, found by careful examina-
ton of the books, was about $4,000. Mr..
Segour has full list of the defrauded PEN
sioners. This tarred lamb Clinton, in the
purity of his innocence, knows nothing
about all this, Of course.
The dupe Jones is bought up to sign re-
port he never saw, and Clinton Tolls back in
his easy chair and puffs his Havanas, and
thinks he has done it. The BULLETIN has
already shown how a report of the Pension
Committee was published in the RepM5lican
by Clinton, and Joness name attached with
out his knowledge. The statements Of Mr..
Segour now corroborate everything we said.

BIG RAILROAD SUIT.

A suit against the New Orleans, Mobile
and Texas Railroad, in bankruptcy, has
been entered in the United States District
Court, upon the petition of Lyman }.
Dodge, and affidavit of W. H. Roberts. The
plaintiff and affiant alledge that they are
the owners of large amount Of bonds, GER
tificates of Indebtedness, and other claims
against this company ; that these claims are
lawful and just, and ought to be paid but
that payment up to this time has been re-
fused. They further alledge that they are
the holders Of So 900 in bonds of this com
pany, and that the interest has been paid to
other holders of the same series, but not to
them; and they ask that the road from Mo
bile here, and from here to Donaldsonville
be declared bankrupt, and an assignee be
appointed to take charge. This suit will
reopen the case of the State against the
New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad, in
which the company is charged with having
used funds furnished for the building of the
Western Division, on the Mobile Division,
to the act giving the company this
subsidy.

The noticeable lack Of good manners and
in some of our pretentious saloons, and
more especially in one not mile from the
corner of Canal and Carondelet streets, is
deserving of notice and censure. A lady
walks in and calls for ice cream, chocolate,
or whatever she may fancy, and lout Of a
waiter, whose apparel and general appear
ance suggests late hours and an insufficiency
Of soap and water, slides languidly along
the apartment in pair of slippers, down at
the heel or in a critical condition of decay,
and, in hoarse voice, screams out the order
to the attendants in kitchen.
While waiting he strikes an attitude and
huns or whistles in an undertone a snatch
Of the last opera, running his hand the
while through his oily hair, and occasionally
lingering greasy and soiled towel or nap
kin, which hangs upon one arm. The order
well say its cup Of chocolate) being
handed out, the delicate and languid young
man moves with it toward tho lady and de
pOsits it in the centre of the table as slouchi-
ly as possible, and then humming the while
"a careless tune" he withdraws to count
the flies on an adjoining table, or
to wipe it off with his infallible
towel. The lady timidly coughs to attract
Monsieur's attention, and, succeeding, sug-
gests bread and butter. Monsieur suggests
that bread is "extra five cents extra.
He is requested to bring it, nevertheless,
and does 80 in manner so inelegant that
the lady concludes her appetite is not as
ravenous as it was, and gulping down few
draughts of chocolate, pays her twenty
cents for the luxury and departs, to return,
ah nevermore.
Can't some enterprising individual start a
saloon in which cleanliness and politeness
shall be religiously observed. New Orleans
needs such place very sadly.

The court column Of the London Times
explains why the Duchess of Edinburgh
was absent from the last drawing room. 1t
was all owing to the fact that cher Royal
Highness had hopes Of an event which
would add to her happiness and that the
Duke Of Edinburgh, and the announcement
Of which would cause general joy in the
kingdom" We have spent the last forty
eight hours in earnest efforts to ascertain
what that event could possibly have been,
but the conundrum seems to be one which
was never intended to be unraveled.
