TO INSURANCE COMPANIES AND MER-
CHANTs.-We desire to direct the special at
tention of our insurance companies to the
advertisements in another column, of the
Factors and Traders and the Merchants
Mutual Insurance Companies The Bulletin
has undertaken the publication Of the re-
ceipts of produce and lists of consignees, for
the benefit Of insurance companies and mer-
chants, and will continue it if the proper
encouragement and support be extended to
us. The Bulletin is the only daily paper in
New Orleans, except the Price Current, that
publishes the receipts and consignees, and
we look to the insurance companies and
merchants interested in such publications
TO follow the lead Of the compenies men

If the signs Of the times mean anything,
We are TO experience summer of eXtraor-
binary dullncss; there appears a general
disposition in business circles and among
tinanciers to wait and see. Until Congress
fully decides the currency question, and the
law fixes the amount of national paper, no
body who has credit or funds appears dis
posed to risk anything: while the country
at large is too busy with the cultivation of
the soil and the crops to care much about
certain extent the railroad people are an ex-
ception the best time for their labors is the
summer season. and thus there will probably
be furnished a certain amount of occupa-
greeable indications about the labor ques-
tion. Under the results of the late civil
war, certain moneyed classes combining in
corporate shape, have been able to control
Legislation and make money cheap or dear,
as their interests prompted. One Of the
practical results of this has been fixing the
wage rate for operatives without consulting
them on the subject. Against this have
arisen the counter combinations OF strikes,
and the war of labor against capital is thus
fully inaugurated in tie United States. With
this element in the computation it is difficult
to decide what the railroads will do, and how
far they can furnish occupation TO the public.
There is, moreover, another large and in
creasng class of summer oilers found in and
around all large cities, for whom we fear the
coming season. They are idlers and stay
at-homes per force and not per choice. Tn
fitted for manual toll, they have grown up
the product of commerce, and as clerks,
statesmen, brokers, ETC., are quite .:unsuited
fof any ether pursuits. The burden Of the
summer will rest upon these heavily, and
how some of them will contrive to rub
through can only be known when they have
succeeded.
One thing we beg to impress upon all our
readers. "Never say die" While the rain
bow OF hope spans the arch of life, keep up
courage. This city has a future sunny and
bright yet to come, and better wait for the
day dawn than despair forever in the dark.

Tie Reb. Ike Addressed. to An Usurper.

The organ and apologist of the present
State Government, in all its enornltes, aho
the consistent maligner of the enlightened
population of this State, has had the temer
ty to publish, in its columns, the letter AL
dressed by the honored Agent of the Peabod,
Education Fund to the individual claiming
to be the State Superintendent OF Pubic
Education, and to pronounce, as "rldicuious
exception" brief yet vigorous protes,
against "the prima facie fraud and the actuaI
usurpation by which the liberties of the PEG,
pie of Louisiana have been sacrificed and
their republican system of government has
been suspended, in violation of the Constl-
| tuition of the United States"
With characteristic presumption, the Or
gan makes no attempt to refute the charge
Of fraud and asmpation; but contents itself
with the statement that "Brown has been
in the undisturbed possession Of his office
for more than year, and that the question
as to his election has been long since merged
in the more engrossing one between McEn-
cry and kellogg" Touching the pretended
settlement" of the question, by the Presi-
dents recognition Of the present State Gov
crnment, the organ cannot but have detect
ed the remarse by which President Grant
must have been influenced when be recently
declared, with refreshing ingenuousness, that
the condition Of things in both South Caro-
lima and Louisiana was depicrabie, but that
-. u, 4.,+, t1,n Ia
thereof could remedy their condition if they
wished. Nor can it deny that SO eminent a
body as the Congress of the United States
has justified the charge of suspension o.
republican government in this State, by its per
sistent refusal to admit, either to the Senate
or the House, the INSCRIPTIONS champion of
Radicalism, to whose coup detdt the present
State Government is indebted for its exist
ence.
The agent of the Peabody Education Fund
has been too long known in this community
as an able, Jealous and disinterested advo-
cate and promoter Of education, both pub
lie and private, to need any defense at our
hands, No sane man, not blinded by parti-
san Jealousy, can doubt his qualihcatlonS
for the position to which he was elected, for
the second time, in November last. We
know that he scorns frauds and all agents
and ministers of frauds, and that, in defense
of truth and of the liberties Of the State, he
will be supported by every upright member
Of this community, and by the enlightened
population of the State at large. We hap
pen also to know that the noble philanthro
pist, Mr.. Peabody, expressed during his
lifetime his qualification with the services
rendered by Mr.. L., aud we
know that the General Board of Trustees of
The Peabody Education Fund are fully in
formed of the frauds and usurpation by
which he has been robbed Of the Office to
which he was called by the general acclaim
Of the enlightened people of Louisiana.

Prayer in State Legislature or Congress
has its uses. A man can lie and traduce
in the attitude of prayer with greater ease
to himself than insthe ordinary stump
speech, because he raises his eyes to
Heaven and escapes the unpleasant neces-
sity of looking his fellow-men square in the
face. 1t has, besides, the advantage of an
exclusive privilege, and obviates the disa-
greeable possibility Of a reply. In the

The effects of "ring" rule in Philadelphia
are beginning to make their appearance in
the condition of the city finances. The city
debt is now $50 O60, 900, and it is proposed to
increase it $SO,OOO,OOO. At this rate the city
of Philadelphia will soon become like
observation-disclosures impossible to live in, on
account Of the enormous taxes. Yet this is
the city which promised to arrange and
conduct the centennial celebration almost
entirely without aid. This statement Of the
financial condition Of the city is sufficient to
indicate that the promise was not made in
good faith, and that it was tho intention of
those having charge of the centennial bust
ness to fall back on the government for the
largest part Of the expenses Of getting up
the celebration.

a graduated scale, based on the business
alone, ranging from $1,000 in San Francisco

City and State Politics.
WHERE ARE WE DRIFTING TO.

| 1t has become evident by this time to
every intelligent voter that there is a con-
spiracy OH the part of the bummers of all
parties to continue the administration of
our affairs in the hands of the class of men
that now mismanage them. We have the
germs of all the elements of corruption and
jobbery which have attained their highest
development in the Eastern cities, and the
fruits OF which are seen in the accumula-
tion of such mountains Of municipal debt.
New York city staggers under load which
imposes an immense drain upon her re-
sources and energies and the rate of taxa
ton now required to pay the interest on her
debt is so heavy as to check the commercial
prosperity Of that metropolis.
These things came about after the usual
fashion. The good citizens of New York
turned local politics over to the manage
ment of street contractors and .jobbcrs in
city improvements, and the aldermen and
other officials, who were nominated by them,
unlocked the treasury and allowed them to
steal dd Nbitum. The street cleaners stole !;
the carpenters and plasterers who did work
on the public buildings stole the sewer-pipe
makers stole /; the macadamites stole-while
regularly nominated and elected city officers
looked on with complacency or took share
of the steaings. Thsis telling an old story,
but it is good time to repeat it to the
property and Taxpayers of this city,
who are allowing the contractors to fasten
their grip upon the city government.
The tender-footedness of the old Pic. is
apparent even in it's extracts. Any epithet,
however well deserved, is stricken out if
it be stronger than soothing syrup. What
a glorious thing it would be if the equity,
timid old Pic. should come out some day in
a strong, bold, manly way about matters
and things. 1t would be like strong
breeze from the gulf after tiresome calm.
and might wake up a few of the barna-
cles that stick to the old craft from
sheer habit or laziness, and make them open
their eyes to the live and stirring events in
the great world in which they live. Such an
awakening would be like that Of Rip Van
Wrinkle and a glimpse Of things as they
really are would have the same bewildering
effect upon said barnacles that the sight of
his old gun and the skeleton of his dog
Snyder had upon Rip.
Oh! for the days Of Kendall, Bullitt, OTIS
and Wilson, the days before the Pic. had
learned ito bend the knee that thrift might
follow fawning."
