Business in financial circles was ex-
ceedingly quiet to-day. Madison street
looked almost deserted. The rain de-
ferred outdoor operations, and there was
nothing doing in money circles aside
from local checking and depositing.
Money is easy and in active demand,
with the supply of currency sufficient for
the demands OF trade. The banks con-
tinue to discounting all frst'class paper
offering at lO@l2 o cent. y annum; on
the streets money is active at 1924 y
cent y month. Brokers are paying 1854
@lOs3 for gold and selling at l09a@llO,
with little offering. Exchange is steady
and easy and rules at par, while cotton
bills on the East and New Orleans are
taken at lc discount. Scrips and bonds
remain dull, with little movement in the
market and no transactions in securities

There was but little talk on the sub
ject of levee, high water and crevasses
yesterday, and it seemed as if all fear had
subsided on the part of city dwellers.
Probably coast residents are quite differ
ent.
The news from the lower coast was un-
important, and matters down there seemed
to remain as already reported.
All along the city front the water does
not look as threatening as it did Wednes
day, and the levee is believed to be toler-
ably firm.
AT the Levee Company Office there were
few dispatches. Oae stated that the
water at Bayou Sara was at the levee top,
but the result of 400 men constantly labor
ing will soon tell. Provisions for the labor
ers were scarce, but NJ. D. F. Kenner yes
terday telegraphed back authorizing one of
the company's agents to procure all that
was needed in any event. At Point Coupee
the number of men employed is sufficient
to soon place everything in proper condi-
tion

2 ORLEANS, SATURDAY, APRIL IL 1874


Under the new law, as promulgated yes
terday morning. Governor Kellogg has
| made appointments which will meet the
approval of all. Most of them are known
Republicans, and, while receiving the sup
| port of their party for their principles, com
mand the esteem and respect OF their po-
lItical opponents for their character an
ability. No nominations have been placed
before the people by the Governor which
| entitle him to more credit in selection than
| these.
Judge A. A. Atochs is well known as a
most accomplished criminal jurist, of great
| experience and sagacity, devoted to his pro-
| fession, and one who will be as faithful to
the duties of his Office as he has been to the
interests of his clients. He will make the
| new court in every respect what the law de-
| mands and the people require, q common
law Criminal Court OF the highest jur;sdic-
ton.
The selection of jury commissioners is
equally fortunate. The duties of the Office
| demand the exercise of qualities of charac-
ter which all persons are desirous of claim
ing, but few possess-integrity and inde-
pendence. Both Colonel w. NJ. SmallEood,
and Ardanne Casanave notoriously possess
them and their fellow-citizens can safely
trust the filling of the jury box to their
hands.
Mr.. John A. Fitzpatrick is too we'll known
and-too popular to require any adulation at
our hands. He has not been Republican,
but his appointment is not less satisfactory
on that account. Having had frequent oc-
casion to commend him iu his capacity as
clerk of the First District Court, we are
glad of an opportunity to continue our
praise in the new court.
Mr., X. n. johnson, the clerk of the Judge,
will do honor to the position. An accom-
plished clerk and an afsble gentleman, he
has many friends who will congratulate him
on his appointment
Messrs. Lionel Adams and Louis Gastinel,
the deputy clerks, are both lawyers, and
familiar with the duties of the office.
Mr.. Gastinel was recorder of the Second
District several years ago, and is thoroughly
familiar with the details of criminal practice.
Mr.. Adams Is young gentleman of more
than average abilities aud energy, and Is
assiduous in the performance of every duty
he undertakes.
With such combination as this the new
court starts into life. Iti very little to say
it will cause revolution in criminal juris-
prudence in this city. Before many months
are over commentators will be in every
ones mouth of the intelligence of its juries.
regularity and dispatch of business, and
prompt and certain dipensation of justice.
