If the Picayuns vii. not consider it
scurrillous. we will inform it that the
Chamber 0. Commerce of this city has
adopted a resolution, since the passage of
the funding bill, fully indorsing and ap-
proving it in every particular. The meas
ure is regarded by that eminent body as a
financial proposition arising from neces-
sity, and the declaration is a matter of
record available to every citizen who feels
interest enough in it to inquire at the
proper place. Those who never attend
the meetings Of the Chamber of Commerce
are unsafe reporters of its proceedings.
We have before been called upon to rec
tify a little mistake of this kind. If de-
sired, we will publish the resolution,
which, though public and open to every
body's inspection, seems to be quite un-
known to our neighbor.

Some OF our city papers indulge
their low and mean p~ropensities by affect
ing to make light Of the observance
of the anniversary of Lincoln's birthday.
Hence. we see fippant illusions to "the
late ~lamented." as though there was
something vastly comical in the fact
that a whole continent. at least all
that is great and good. rejoice in the
knowledge that such a nan as Lincoln
lived and left the impression of his hon
esty. wisdom and humanity upon his
country's history. We all revere the
memory Of Washington, except the few
that may yet remain true to the descend
ants of George Ill. and the memory Of
Lincoln is holy TO every American who is
not a rebel at heart. Luckily, the time
has gone by when silly abuse OF the
martyr President can be sold as merchan-
disc in New Orleans.
