present. and Mayor Witt presiding
Several ordinances aprropriating money
for the expenses of the various departments
were passed.

By resolution the Mayor was authorized to

fifth McDonogh school house, according to

Office.
A communication was received from ]. n.
Marks President Firemen's Charitable As
sQciaton, suggesting method OF payment OF
the debt of the city to the Association as fol-
lows:
To the Honorable the Common Council Of New
Gentlen,e1tI am instructed by the Board of
DELEGATES of the Firemen's Charitable Associ-
alton, to call your attention to the unfortunate
financial condition of the Fire Department Of
our city and to suggest q measure of relief.
The sum now due the Association by the city,
is about one hundred thousand dollars.
Many of the companies have not paid their
employees for several months. They are
heavily in debt for everything they use. l. is
now evident that they cannot exist longer
without aid. Their employees will have to be
discharged and their apparatus laid up. As
the protection of our city is involved in this
contingency, some measure should be adopted
(even though it be extraordinary in character)
to avoid 30 great misfortune.
cannot but believe, that the creditors OF
the city, and the taxpayers would consent to
any measure adopted by the Council, looking
to the maintenance of the fire department.
I therefore respectfully suggest that you
consent to, or direct, that all sums Of money
that may be hereafter paid into the Treasury
by the insurance companies Of our city, DO
irpmediately paid over to this association,
against the amount now due to it by the city
for the extinguishment of fires.
If this arrangement is consummAted. De-
lieve that the insurance companies can be IN
duced to promptly cay all taxes due by them
Respectfully submitted.
/. N. MARKS, President
New Orleans, Oct 19, 1874.
Referred to the Committee Of the Whole.
After receiving andappropriately referring q
number of other communications and petl-
TONS the Council adjourned.

A DAMAGING ADMISSION.

Armed force is the only guarantee for peace
that we know of that will prove themselves
entirely satisfactory to the unfortunate classes
of this community who do not keep guns in
their houses constantly loaded, and who are
not well skilled in their use. The colored peo-
pie have brought their warlike propensities to
no higher degree of perfection than to ''lean
in an offensive manner on their hoes, while
the Democracy are hunting them with shot
guns. -Republicnn.
When the entire Government of the State
is in possession of the Republican party
when Kellogg's officials in every parish of the
State fill all the offices and grow rich upon
the taxes extorted from the people; when the
militia, the police and the constabulary force
are al composed of and commanded by Rad
ical hirelings, it seems remarkable for the
organ Of the usurpation to admit that earned
eorce is the only guarantee for peace that will
rove satisfactory" What will the country
ink or say of government in State that
luires an EARNED force to sustain it Is
Oh government one that is contemplated
the Constitution Of the Republic? Such
~, admission is tantamount to an acknowledge
snt that what is claimed to be q govern
emit in Louisiana is not one of the choice of
me people, but one of compulsion, and Of SO
repulsive character that nothing but force
and arms can save it.
The Republican is equally infelicitous, too,
IN its allusion above to the peaceful propensi-
hes Of the negro and the bloodthirsty deeds
Of the Democracy. The account in its own
columns Of the murderous assault by negroes
upon John Gair, one Of their own color; the
personal attack upon Kellogg in the parish
convention made by the negro Hebert, and
the riotous conduct generally exhibited at
nearly every public meeting by the wards of
the nation, all go to show that ''the colored
pc ,ple have brought their warlike propen-
sities to higher degree of perfection than
merely to lean in an offensive manner on their
hoes, as the official organ would fain repre-
sent them. Rifles, guns, pistols and razors
are weapons which, under tuition of white
Radical leaders, the negroes have acquired
great proficiency in handling. Nor are they
very particular in the choice Of their victims
for proving their experiences in manning and
killing.
The negro, free from the baneful influence
and corrupt teaching of the miserable and
rascally carpet-baggers, is naturally inclined
to be docile, submissive and peaceable. But
by such teachings as he receives from the Re-
p 6Hcan, and from others like those who write
for that unfair and unreliable sheet, he is
rapidly converted into devil, capable Of
committing any deed Of violence and outrage.
And until that class Of mischievous white ad-
venturers 10 driven out of the State there will
be no peace either for the white or black
citizens Of Louisiana.

A correspondent Of the Louisville Courier
Journal thinks that the prospects are very good
for q Democratic victory in Alabama next month,
ard that the majority will probably be over five
thousand. The population Of the State is s21 1884
white. and 473,510 black, which reduced to .
voting basis would give the whites majority Of
about nine thousand. There have never been in
the State over seven thousand white Republicans,
and the Civil Rights bill and the Landaulet VIII
iams outrages WILL it is believed, have diminished
that number to thin ty-fve hundred. Every white
man will vote who has strength to get to the
polls, whereas the negroes are not more inter-
ested than at ether elections. Most Of the plan
tation hands have no hankering to board in
frst-class hotel, to sleep in sleeping car, or to
enjoy any other Of the privileges provided for by
the Civil Rights bill. The correspondent doubts
if one negro in ten cares whether the bill
becomes law or not.

PUTTING IT STRoNG.-The Pittsburg Posi-,
in an article on the result of the elections in
Ohio and Indiana, uses this strong language:
To the political harlots and unpublished
robbers and murderers of States who were in
conclave at Chattanooga it said: "Back to
your dens of infalny and lairs of uncleanness,
We hypocrites, plunderers and deceivers; crawl
into your holes, We political vipers, whose
Shiny trails have marked and blighted the
the fairest land heavens sun ever shone upon;
hide your guilty heads ye defamers of the
American name, ye fomenters of civil discord,
blood and rapine; sneak from the public gaze,
We political publicans and Pharisees ye mis-
cradle prostitutes, whose harlotry has turned
to by-word and reproach tho very name Of
Republican government, and whose dsmnable
crimes have retarded the growth of the nation
half century, and heaped thousand million
of taxes upon burdened people"

Forty thousand more of the iron workers
have been thrown out of employment at Pitts
burg by the closing of mills. The difficulty
in regard to wages, which is the immediate
occasion of this suspension, results from the
long continued depression in the price OF
iron. It is very suggestive fact that when
the workmen and iron masters agreed upon
their basis of wages it was with the full! belief
IN both sides that iron never could be profit
ably made. or for any length OF time con-
stantly sold at a lower price than sixty,six
dollars per ton. No provision was by either
party suggested for 50 unexpected state of
things. and now that iron does sell for less
than three cents per pound, the masters claim
that they must reduce wages to figure lower
than the lowest contemplated IN the former
agreement, or else stop work. The men re-
fuse to work at the reduced wages, and the
