IN IRREGULAR CORNER.

A few weeks ago Wall Street was agitated
10y a series of kilograms which bore the initials
of a prominent railway officer, and dexterously
conveyed the intimation of the death of the
largest stock operator on the continent. The
fraud had its momentary effect upon the
market, and created an interest and excitement
disproportionate to its results. Those people
outside Of the Street who heard of the villainy
looked upon its ingenuity and its enterprise as
they would have regarded the same qualities
displayed by a pickpocket or o burglar
But it was evident that such was not the
point of view of the class among which
these clever rogues found their victims
The crime seemed to make little impression
upon their minds They spoke of the per-
Torrance with an air of iocular tolerance.
They seemed impressed only by the smartness
of the act, and were surprised when plain peo-
pie spoke Of it with Indignation. Ii was, Of
course. an irregular and dangerous thing. Ii
added another peril to a pursuit already sufil-
GENTLY precarious. But the brokers who were
brought into contact with this new and des-
perate manifestation of intelligent crime
seemed to feel no more emotion about it than
mariner feels towards an ugly rock sud-
denly discovered in his usual pathway across
tho sea
On Tuesday tho same tactics were trioi by

flation of English country bank paper proved
absolutely inefficient, and for this simple
reason, that the issues Of the country banks
could be limited only by limiting the issues
of the Bank Of England itself. Both expanded
and contracted together. Accurate statistics
are wanting, but it is supposed that the ag-
gregate issues of the country banks in the
years Of maximum initiation exceeded those OF
the Bank of England. in spite of the monop'
oily of the issue of circulating notes enjoyed
by that institution in London and its vicinity
Ii il superfluous to inquire what limit would
be imposed on our National bank circulation
by the enforcement of the obligation which
the banks are under to redeem their notes IN
a legal tender fuctuating in amount between
1880 900 and S4O0,0oO,0O0
We cannot, within the limits of such an ar
ticle as this, even touch upon numerous prin-
ciples and historical facts which demonstrate
the fatal tendency of the measure advocated
by Mr.. Cameron. and we must close with
brief summary of the result of the expert
ment in England. The Bank of England was
a private company of merchants. 1t never
greatly abused its power of issuing neon
vertible paper. II never poured out its notes
by the CARLOAD to supply the deficiencies OF
tho National Treasury. Its advances to tho
Government were at no time excessive. The
mana cement of its business was substantially
in its own hands, and was not influenced
by tho clamor Of demagOgues and cheap
currency quacks. Aud yet, in spite OF
these favorable circumstances, the expert
ment of "free banking with incOnvertible
paper gave rise, within the fifteen years from
1910 to 1925, to an amount of financial
distress, moral wrong, and physical suffering
without parallel in modern English history,
Banks failed by the hundred no business was
safe, no industry was prosperous, and all
creditors, labOrers, and persons employed at
fixed salaries were severely and unjustly taxed
that spectators and gamblers might have
means to carry on war with each other. Let
Congress adopt Mr.. Cameron's measure and
"legalizc" the unlimited circulation of bank
paper which it invites, and we shall have
passed within the portals of those regions from
which escape is as difficult as entrancei is easy,
where the awful inscription warns those who
pass tho threshold to "Leave hope behind y

There several points Of interest to be noticed
connection with the monthly weather review for
January, published by the Signal Service Bureau.
The mean temperature throughout the United
States, except in Minnesota, was far higher than
in previous years, notably exceeding that of 1873
This is attributed to an unusual supply Of
aqueous vapor borne from the Gulf of Mexico
and the Atlantic coast where there was region Of
high barometer, to a region Of low barometer that
conferred in Lower Canada. The storm of the first
week in January was exception to the usual rule
OF that class Of storms, in not being of elliptic form
with the major axis perpendicular TO its course it
was nearly circular. The number Of verifcations
of cautonary signals is somewhat larger than
usual, viz, IS out of IS. There may
be some differences Of opinion as to the
correctness Of this very favorable report but prob
ably any contrary impressions that may be generally
entertained are to be attributed to q certain wide
spread msapprehension TO the meaning Of the
cautionary signal IL does not refer to the station
at which it is displayed. but to the entire region
within 100 miles of that station. It is intended TO
warn vessels of dangers into which they might run
If they put to sea, well of dangers that may
visit the station Itself This principle is explained
very clearly in the publications of tho Signal Office,
but is probably frequently lost sight OF IL may

The Board of Trade of Buffalo and the
Chamber Of Commerce Of NewYork arc ut
issue on tho expediency of adopting an
amendment to the State Constitution for post
poning the payment of the Canal Debt and
abolishing taxation for canal purposes. The
Assembly yesterday pronounced In favor Oh
perpetuatiDg the present system of canal
management. Now, to lower the canal tolls
and to retain the present system of canal
management, without resorting to taxation, is
impossible. The Canal Debt itself, which
amounts to between eight and nine million
dollars (deductng the Sinking Funds and
loan of 1859, which is not q charge on the
canal revenues). is not a matter of great con-
sequence, and will DO paid off by the surplus
revenues in six years if tho Constitution is
not changed. The surplus revenues, thus
applied to the reduction of the Canal Debt.
should be regarded 10y the tax-payers of tho
state simply as part compensation for canal
taxes of much greater amount, which are col
lccted annually for extraordinary repairs
and the payment Of tho awards of the Canal
Appraisers for damages. Lower tolls and
lower canal taxes are desirable. but we do not
see how it is possible to have both at the

The Legislature of 1878 destroyed large
share of the most valuable part of the work
OF the Constitutional Commission, and that Of
1874 bas nearly finished with the rest of it by
voting down the amendments to the Fifth
Article. which were designed for the purpose
of putting an end to the Canal and State
Prison pillage. On the whole, we begin to
fear that the people will be quite likely to vote
down the remainder of the amendments next
November, and postpone the business of i'm
proving the Constitution until new Conven-
ton can De held and thorough work done.

WE TOLD YOU SO!"

! We are not a prophet, nor the son of a
prophet, and hence lay claim to no special
credit for having predicted the inevitable
result of Kellogs's crime in having opened
the doors of the Penitentiary and turned
loose upon society horde of the blacke t
villains that ever cheated the galows of its
due.
1t was patent to every rejecting mind
that not only would society be preyed upon
by the liberated convicts, but their release
would be regarded by every unconvicttd
rascal as a license to perpetrate any crime
in the canledar with impmnity. Hence we
have not been astonished at the dreadful
murders. the bold burglares and daring at
tempts at arson, which have made of the
last few weeks a perfect carnival of crime.
1t is the natural and inevitable result Of
kellogg's inexcusable and criminal Jail de
livery, and to-day he is morally responsible
for the terrible consequences which have
ensued.
This is the man who pledged himself to
reform and who took solemn oath to faith
he usurped; this is the man who is lauded
upon the floor of the Senate by the dema-
gogue Morton, and who, Mr. Roscoe Conklin
thought, would make a better governor
than the people of Louisiana expected; this
is the man who has deceived a few of our
leading merchants into the belief that his
intentions are honest, and this, finally, is
the arch hypocrte who having brought
Louisiana to the very merge of distinctions
having robbed her people merclessly to sup
port his loathed Government and squan-
dered their money recklessly among his re-
tainers, dares now with brazen etfrontery
TO tender them in their very extremity the
miserable pittance of five hundred dollars
for their relief
1t would almost seem that our people have
lost all sense of shame and concluded with
bowed heads and broken hearts to accept
quietly the degradation, the insults and the
wrongs which are being heaped upon them:
it would almost seem that the spirit Of orr
young men had been crushed and that they
were no longer proud and sensitive as of
yore, quick to resent any assault upon their

COLONEL N. D. COLEMAN.

The death of this truly estimable and
good man, will be a severe loss to all who
knew his many excellent qualities. During
a long and exemplary life, Colonel Coleman
had filled many high and important posi-
tons, with great honor and credit and to a
and confidence Of the people.
Colonel Coleman was kehtuckian by
birth, and at the time of his death, which
occurred at Vicksburg, on the Goth instant.
was about seventy-three years of age. He
was the eldest of large family, o: which
Lloyd r. Coleman. ESQ, of this city, was
the youngest brother. In early life he re-
presented his native State in Congress, and
subsequently coming to Louisiana to reside,
he was several times sent to the Legislature,
where his intelligence and high character
soon gave him prominence and influence.
In all of his career he was ever devoted to
the interests of his State and labored ASST
duously for the welfare of his people.
