THE CITY FUNDS.
Movement to Set Aside the Seiz-
ure of the Municipal Money.

It will be remembered that the funds of the
city were seized in the hands of the Louisi-
ana National Bank, by process of garnishment,
few days ago, in the suits of James Wadick,
Jno. A. Morris, and W. s. Peterkin, and the
Administrators were brought almost to dead
lock on this account
Wednesday morning, B. F. Jonas, City At
torney, John McPhelin, District Attorney,
acting for the parish, and Hays and New for
the Criminal Sheriff, filed in the several cases
mentioned in the United States Circuit Court,
rules to set aside the seizure, and thus relieve
the citys embarrassment.
Among other grounds set forth, they set up
that the funds so seized are the public reve-
nues of the city, and were deposited to the
credit of the several funds, for the benefit OF
which they were assessed and collected in
accordance with various acts of the Legisla-
ture, and they, therefore, are not susceptible
of seizure; and, further, that these funds are
imperalively required by the city, and the
seizure will seriously embarrass the city gov,
eminent.
The Criminal Sheriff alleges that certain
sums were appropriated to him for the support
of prisoners and keeping the parish Jail, and
that if the seizure remains he will be unable
at his own expense, to maintain prisoners
The rules were fixed for Monday, December
| 18th, for trial before Judge Woods in the
| Circuit Court.

THE VERY BEST.

Ii people are inclined to invest in lottery
tickets, and can afford to do so, there is no
reason why they should not exercise the or
binary precautions taken in every other kind
of business or investment They should at
least be we'll assured that the scheme proposed
is in good faith, that its projectors are honest
impartial and financially responsible for the
faithful fulfllment of its conditions. Other
wise it is worse than silly-it is criminal to
waste their money. That out of the many
lotteries now advertised, very small per cent
come under this category, is an undoubted fact,
and they alone should be patronized. First
and most prominent among the latter is the
Louisiana State Lottery, chartered by the
Legislature over seven years ago. During its
entire career. every engagement has been
fulfilled, every obligation promptly met.
| With such sound recommendations its in
tegrity can be implicitly relied upon, and it,
Grand Golden Drawing advertised to come OF
next Christmas, with capital prize of 500,
600 gold, can be freely and confidently in
vested in. This lottery, while selling its
tickets for greenbacks, pays its prizes in gold
Its prizes amount to S502, 500, and range from
$50 to 100000, being $3.50 in numbers
prize to every six tickets. The tickets are
| 20, 600 in number, at $50 each, divided into
twentieth coupons, and can be ordered of any
denomination or in any quantity.

Congress and the Democrats.

A few days since we expressed the opinion
that, owing to the new political revolution OF
the Southern States, the Democracy were GER
tain to control permanent and reliable ma
jority in Congress. The intelligent Southern
correspondent of the Commercial, H. V. r +,
agrees with us, and thus strongly puts the
question. He says:
1t looks to me as though the Democrats
will permanently hold majority in Congress
At every election the South becomes more and
more united, and the Congressional delega-
tons more and more solidly Democratic.
Presently you will find that it will require
only about fifty Democratic Congressman
from all the Northern States to assure that
party control of the House. Whatever tidal
waves may sweep over the land, you can not
expect them to effect anything in this part OF
the country.
"Atter awhile the Senate will be on the
verge of falling into the hands of the Demo
Gratis, for at every Senatorial election in the
South they will assuredly make q gain. In
the last few years they have gained one in Ala
bama, one in Florida, two in Georgia and one
in Mississippi Ito be elected in january, one
in Missouri, two in North Carolina two in
Tennessee one in Texas, two in Virginia and
one in West Virginia.
"Many such net-hauls as this, with now
and then gain in the Northern States, will
give the Senate permanently to the Demo
Gratis. They will further gain in the South in
the next three years seven Senators, as fol,
lows: Alabama l. Arkansas 2, Florida l, Lou
isiana l, Mississippi 2, Texas 1; total Z
Even should the Senatorial representation
| from the Northern States remain as now
these gains from the South will make ths
Senate tie"
1t is evidently pretty certain that Republ
can Congresses, however it may be with Re
publican Presidents, are "played out" NJ
more bayonet bills will be passed, and with
out the bayonet the organization will sub

THE LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB.
GOOD PROSPECTS.

We trust we are not over confident when
we predict that by Saturday next the track at
the Fair Grounds will be in splendid condi-
ton, and the roads leading thereto from the
CITY be in sufficiently good order to afford
very pleasant driving. The cold wind and
the genial sun that have by turns visited US dur
ing the last few days have accomplished won
ders in the way of drying the roads and track,
and unless we are treated to another wet spell
between now and the opening day of the races
Saturday, we have every reason to expect
most successful meeting. The horses are all
in splendid condition, and with the fine
weather and good opportunity for exer
cisinp. we have no doubt they viii
make some excellent records during
the meeting. All arrangements looking
to the pleasure and comfort Of visitors have
been made with excellent care and judgment
and the providing of enjoyment Tor oul
ladies has been made an especial study witt
the Board of Stewards, who have every reason
tn expect very large attendance OF the fall
sex. The gentlemen of the club have won
we'll deserved reputation for courtesy ano
eallantry in their efforts to cater to the pleas
,,res Of the ladies, and will this time redouble
their efforts to please.
1t is generally thought that this Fall Meeting
will be the most successful ever held In TILL
city, and probably in the South. In some re
spects the postponements have been oene
&C., allowing more time for thorough
preparation, and we predict grand success
as the result of the efforts of the gentlemen o
| the club.

War With Spain too Expensive for Third
Term Dodge.

General Sherman has been figuring up the
probable cost of tussle with the Spanish
Government for the independence and ulti-
mate annexation of Cuba. He comes to the
conclusion that such war would be no child s
play, as it would involve the breaking down
of the naval blockade of Spain, and the sub
lection of the coast defences Of Cuba, and
would necessitate the occupation of the
island, not on paper, but by real and SUI
ficient military force.
This would, in his opinion, have to be large
enough to suppress all those disorders which
must follow the sudden emancipation OF $50, =
900 slaves, and attend the reconstruction OF a
mongrel community, consisting, in addition
to these slaves, of 100000 native Caban
whites, 100000 Peninsular Spaniards, 10000
Coolies, and 1000 free persons of color.
Taking this view of the matter, it is not at
all probable that the Democratic House of
Representatives will be very eager to back
up the third term movement of the President.
Nor is it likely that this part of the third
term programme will be popular with the
bondholders of the North, who may discover
in the necessity for still further initiation OF
the bonded debt no additional security for
their present investments in that national
blessing. With their aversion to "rag
money" which carried them through the last
unpleasantness, the Radicals should be eau
tious how they involve the country in wal
with even so Insignificant power as Spain.
The greenback mills would not serve their
purpose now, since they have deprecated and
virtually repudiated that class of currency,
and an initiation of gold interest bearing
bonds would be of even more doubtful ex
pediency than the greenback initiation, which
they SO much dread. The truth is, the Radi
calls are just now under bonds to keep th'
peace. They must look for some other sim
peritive necessity for third term.-Sdudn

The voice of Robson is still for war. This
battle-scarred naval hero thirsts for the life
blood of the Spaniard. He longs to buckle
on his naval uniform and armor and go forth
to become the terror of the seas. Like Don
Quixote, whose ideas became somewhat ex.
allied though confused through studying toe
many works upon knight errantry, Robson,
by perusing too closely the history of the ex
PLOTS of Lord Nelson, Collingwood, Paul
Jones, Preble, Perry and Decatur, has been
seized with consuming thirst for glory. The
laurels of Farragut will not suffer him to
sleep. The distinguished navigator unites
with sanguinary nature sublime aspirations.
He losses fleets about the ocean as if they
were bon bons, and orders ships and monitors
into commission with the nonchalance thai
he orders beefsteak or glass of sherry.
There is, of course, nothing to be done ex-
cept for the country to gaze in awe at the
grandeur of the warike deeds and prepare
tons of this CORY man. Washington Tribune

So They Go The point decided by the
Supreme Court in the Union Pacific case is
simply this: A promise to pay coupon bonds
cat maturity is not promise to pay the
several coupons when they4ature, but is only
promise to pay the sum total of coupons
(maturing every six months) and the princi.
pal of the bonds when the latter natures, and
not before. Individuals will have their own
opinions about the correctness of this decision,
but very few will deny that the court might
better have omitted all it says about "the
circumstances which surrounded Congress
when the act was passed" 1t was on Ga
surrounding circumstance that this same
court based its second opinion that Congress
could compel creditor to take printed tag,
or painted chip, Of his debtor in satisfac'
ton of promise to pay gold dollar. 1t was
on ga surrounding circumstance that this
court said in 1869, that the legal tender law
was not constitutional, and in 1870 that the
same law was constitutional. So we go!
