Last Nights Fire-~hrse Build
G. ings Burned.

Between twelve and one O'Clock
las. night, a fire occurred on Six
teenth street, opposite Jefferson
square, destroying three wooden
buildings owned by General Esta-
brook, and occupied by Meisel's sa-
loon and bakery, Gardel's meat
market, and Gen. Estabrook's jus
tice of the peace office.
The fire department was promptly
on the ground, and kept the fire
from spreading. The alarm was
not given till the flames had gained
considerable Roadway.
1t is thought that the fire was the
werk of an incendiary.

A VOICE FROM WALL STREET.

1t is difficult to explain to most readers
that everything printed in a newspaper is
not the opinion of the editor. When a
journal is silent upon the tendencies of a
communication, the popular idea is that it
is Endorsed by the journal. There is, of
course, more or less art in Bringing in"
arguments in favor of enterprises which
can not conveniently be advocated in the
editorial column. Sometimes, however,
the contributor may use the columns
of the paper when the editor is
Ignorant of the object for which
the article is intended. We have
had a good many specimens of anony-
nous commune cations that seem to have
been instigated by one or the other
OF the motives mentioned. We have
seen articles communicated against the
funding bill. Eads has been introduced
in the walnut dyed garments of the
practical planter" and the tow boat in
terest has been complimented with lib.
eral proposal to take pull at the Wanda
liza for nothing, which proposal that vessel
was reported anonymously to have de-
clined.
We now have another example of this
indirect access to public confidence. That
$40 correspondent, Antelope, reappears
after an extended recess. He displays
that familiarity with the slang of Wall
street which like any other patter tends
to make prudent men cautious of those
who use it.
Marches, Mays and Junes' are run
up. ''Spots" and cultures" mar
ket is bullish T" in one place and
healthy" in another. Exchange ''rules

ing in second hands sis ascertained to

city emark one Of those handy men
known to fnanciers as "curbstone bro.
ker." Evidently Antelope scours ovel
the plains and bounds across the canons
OF commerce with speed and confidence
that mark the fearless fnancier.
But Antelope proceeds to condemn the
vote by which the West and South have
enlarged the circulation to something less
than ten dollars head for the population
Of the Union. Writing from Wall street,
Antelope says:
Conservative people view this proceeding
with alarm and sorrow, for 1t is simply
binding upon their own, if not their chill
dren's backs. grievous burden, which will
one day press upon them most heavily.
Then comes the panicky sensation
| The effect of the Senate and House action
| on Wall street has been to advance gold
| from liza to 1872, and stocks from two to
Tour per cent. Some of our bankers look
for early shipments of GOLD, in consequence
| OF the scarcity of United States bonds,
and the disinclination Of our European
friends to take the miscellaneous bonds
and odds and ends we have been in the
habit Of sending them.
What this last scarcity of United States
bonds, and dislike to "odds and ends"
has to do with the fixed circulation. we
can not see.
Antelope was surprised that cotton
should not have been Sin demand to any
perceptible extent, the present firmness
having been apparent before the vote in
Congress-, that is, we suppose that the
effect Of the bill had been discounted from
the price Of cotton at or before the pass
age Of the act. Why the same effect was
not visible in United State bonds, stocks
and gold, Antelope does not explain.
1t is not little incongruous to state
that "the treasury is now so poor that it
yesterday had to sell one million dollars
instead Of half million, as advertised"
This is in itself an evidence that currency
can not be so superintendent as is in
timated elsewhere in the communication.
The correspondent concludes thus.
1t is feared, too, that the initiation pro.
ceedings of yesterday will hurt both the
government and State credit abroad.
Now we object to this "bullish" epistle,
the effect of which, so far as it can have
any, will be to 'indate" the price of stocks
by the depreciation of currency values.
1t is not fair repre- sentation of the
wishes or interests of Louisiana that the |
reasonable increase Of circulating medium
should be censured. We repeat that Wall |
street and State street have one interest,
the planters and laborers in cotton and
sugar another and an opposite interest.
An open argument, under editorial respon-
'lbility, we can appreciate, but the prac-
ice of shaking in opinions adverse to
he interests Of our people, is an insidious
Evil, and should be exposed and corrected.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-04-04

A representative is employed by the
year. His whole time and thought must
be therefore exclusively devoted to the in
terests OF the whole people who pay him.
To divert to the service of others any
time or thought properly applicable to
compliance with his contract is immoral.
10 accept compensation based on the pos
slble defeat of constituent will or sacri-
fee OF constituent interests is a crime
against the republic. We can see no diff
ference between this and sentinel selling
the key to a citadel. There can be no
doubt that this corrupt dereliction of
sworn duty has been the cause of much
bad legislation. A representative desir-
Gus to aid an outside interest may intro
duce and smuggle through legislation le-
gal language which will sell the very
voters that elected him. The omission of
comma in the category of articles
duty free has cost the revenue some mil
lions. An Interpolation in section of a
fevenue act, recognized contracts which
enriched whole ring of plunderers.
There is indeed no guard against these
shyster Legislators, and people may be
betrayed to ruin by their chosen repre-
sentatives. 1t may be that the very prince
OF mischief has been elected by the conf
dence of the constituency, and that mis-
creant who would not be worth bribing in
an ordinary court Of justice, may be worth
thousands to the lobby when armed with
the right to vote in Congress. We trust
to see these shyster attorneys cast out of
Congress and all other representative
bodies in the Union

POLITICAL SHYsTERs.

The Changers should look little into
the consistency by which some Of their
representatives elected are paid to devote
their whole attention to constituent inter-
ests; are paid to take fees as the attorneys
of parties whose interests may be adverse
to those they have been elected to repre-
sent. The Changers will see, perhaps,
that the railroads have suborned members
OF Congress to defeat measures Of legisla-
ton restricting rates of transportation.
They may find, perhaps, a similar infiu-
ence to prevent deepened outlet of the
Mississippi. If this great political power,
dedicated to reform, will examine the
principle involved in such attorneyship,
they will see that it is as inconsistent with
representative government as the subor-
nation OF q judge or juryman would be.

THE ENGLISH IN AFRICA,

1t is historical fact that the English
conducted the commerce in slaves to q
larger extent than any other nation, but
with the cessation and suppression of that
trade Africa has been turned to a differ
ent and it is to be hoped more advan tage-
Gus account. England has long depended
on foreign demand for her manufactures,
and has employed diplomacy as we'll as
| the sword to extend this demand. The
independence Of the British colonies in
America gave the first stimulus to this en-
terprise, and the trade with the Indies
and China has been conquered to
replace the apprehended loss of
colonial dependencies. It may be re-
marked here that these colonies, elevated
to free and independent republic, have
given to their mother country a commerce
tar more valuable than could have been
extorted from them as slavish dependen
cles. In pursuance of this policy of
hunting market, England has invaded
and subdued Abyssinia She has sent
Livingstone to Africa, which he had ex-
plored from the western to the eastern
boundaries, demonstrating that there was
valuable capacity to produce cotton and
other staples greatly needed by the man
ufacturers of England. The explorations
OF this pertena cious voyager were very
valuable, having shown a chain of nayi-
gable lakes, surrounded by region highly
productive of gums, gold, ivory, valuable
woods and dye stufs
But recently the King Of the Ashantees
incurred the displeasure of the English
government, and an expedition was sent
out which after much resistance and peri,
by climate succeeded in comp cling the
savage potentate to treat for peace and
even sign treaty renouncing the trade in
slaves. This trade it will be difficult
to suppress, as it prevails all over interior
Africa, and in fact the slaves are the
currency Of the African tribes. tits to be
hoped, for the honor of humanity, that
the horrible practice of Staying the slaves
at the command of a despotic or super
stitious ruler may be prevented The de-
tails of this sacrifice are revolving and |
almost Incredible
England, however, is a sagacious power
which makes even philanthropy profita-
Die. There will be, no doubt, a military
occupation, with stations and agencies,
ollowed, as in Australia, New Zealand
md Tasmania, by settlements and politi-
'al government; ultimately, if the climate
Will permit, by colonial governments, i'm
migration and a reciprocal trade with the
mother and mistress country.
We congratulate civilization upon the
esnlts of this Christian enterprise. The
caring, capture and sale of slaves will.
'erhaps, be limited, if not arrested en-
lrely, and new territory may be added
0 humanity and to commerce.
