Chamber of Commerce.

The regular monthly meeting of the
| Chamber OF Commerce was held las,
| evening, Colonel J. M. Sandidge presiding
Several communications received since
last meeting were read, and referred to
appropriate committees.
Mr.. Dolhonde addressed the meeting on
the subject of tars on sugar and offered
the following;
Resolred. That the chair proceed TO fill
the vacancies occasioned by the discharge
of a committee appointed to take into con.
sideratton and report upon the propriety OF
changing the tare allowed on packages
containing Louisiana sugars. and the said
committee to be instructed to report at the
next meeting of the Chamber.
Colonel Sandidge vacated the chair.
Vice President w. c. Raymond, assuming
the chair, appointed the following commit.
tee: +. Dolhonde, chairman: j. NJ Putnam,
l.. j. Highly, Jules Vairin, r. S. Hickey.
Mr.. Seixas and Mr.. Putnam made few
remarks, referring to the change in the tare
as favorable to the planter, the buyer and
the seller.
Vice President Raymond stated he had
permitted the discussion to 60 on that the
committee might have the benefit of the
views of members present. No motion was
before the meeting, the subject of tare
being an important one.
Colonel Sandidge made a few remarks on
the subject Of tare, and Mr.. Putnam stated
the city was, by authority of the Legisla-
ture, directed to regulate the tare in New
Orleans, but not in the country.
Vice President Raymond said the matter
was now in the hands of the committee.
Colonel Sandidge called up the matter of
the health of the city, and offered the fol-
lowing;
Resolred, That the secretary of the Cham.
ber be instructed to call the attention of
the public press of New Orleans to the an
nual and usually groundless reports eircu-
lated through the country at this season of
the year, of the existence of yellow fever
in this city to the great detriment of its
business, with the request that mention be
made of the fact that, according to the re-
port of the Board of Health, New Orleans
was never more healthy than now.
The resolution was adopted, and the
Chamber adjourned.

The Jetties.
The commission on Captain EaGs' plans
Tor improving the mouth of the Mis- sis ppi
Tiver continues its sessions in New York.
The discussion Of the location OF the jetties
at the South Pass was continued, and a
slight modification of the plans for locating
the east jetty were recommended. Also a
slight alteration in its curvature, so as to
render the action of the current more eff
fective and secure greater solidity 1t was
also recommended that this jetty, which is on
the windward side, should overlap the end
OF the west ietty at least 300 feet. 1t
was further decided that 1000 feet was the
most desirable distance to leave between
the artificial walls by which it ia proposed
to deepen the channel. The length of the
east jetty will be about 1870 feet Very
little now remains to be acted upon, and it
is expected the board will close its session
on Tuesday.

Louisiana Democrats.

Ine Job of organizing Democratic party
ana calling Democratic convention in this
State, appears to find little favor among the
anti Republicans of Louisiana. The Thib-
odeaux Sentinel says the people of the coun-
try are largely opposed to convention, and
fear the discord which might ensue by dis
cussion. 1t believes there are times in POI
itics when the wisest thing to do is to do
nothing at all, and intimates that now is
the time to keep still. Regarding the high
sounding purpose of getting In line with the
national Democracy, the Sentinel, which is
edited by Duncan S. Cage, Jr., says: As
for alignment. that IS impossible, for the
line has not yet been drawn, and the
leaders differ as widely as their sections on
the great financial questions on hard money
and imitation 1t also says: I'VE can not
orget that we were Louisianians before we
were Democrats, and to Louisiana, anti
Radieaiism means more than Democracy"
The CatahoIia Ne,rs is even more out
spoken against a Democratic convention,
1t says, "A straight out Democratic ticket
on straight Democratic platform would be
about as likely to succeed in Louisiana as
would the Radicals in Kentucky" and it
characterizes those who are trying to organ
ize Democratic party as.the worst enemies
of the State. 1t shows how the Wings and
Conservatives will sooner vote for Repub.
licans than for men bent upon destroying
the only hope for the white mans rule. 1t
says tatly, I'VE viii not fight on plan
which will entail on Us certain defeat"
With the leading anti-Republicans of the
country against Democratic party or CON
vention, it is difficult to understand how
the few blatant whippers-in for such con
cern in New Orleans can hope to effect an
organization of Democrats; but all things
are possible in politics, and there are many
voters who will rot feel happy until they
are corraled in Democratic bull pen and
have party yoke upon their neeks.

The Capture OF New Orleans,

Gle. published in the Hartford, Connecticut
Times in defense of Admiral Farragut as
the capturer of New Orleans. The article
is in reply to a statement in a recent decis-
ion OF the United States Supreme Court,
delivered by Justice Swayne In the case OF
the city of New Orleans, appellant vs. the
New York Mail Steamship Company, in
which the expression occurs: "On the first
captured the city of New Orleans" Mr..
Welles proves that the city was captured
by Farragut, on the twenty fifth of April,
and held by him until the arrival of
troops. He also quotes from the records
of the War Department to show that
repeated injustice has been done to the
Admiral. A chronological record published
by the department and purporting to
give record of all the events of the war
does not contain Fsrragut's name, and
gives credit for the capture of the forts on
the Mississippi below New Orleans to Ad-
miral Porter, who was subordinate under
Farragut. The articles concludes ~ have
felt it duty to the navy, to the truth of
history and to most distinguished hero of
the war, to correct the persistent misstate-
ments wi hich have been and still are made
in regard to the capture of New Orleans
and to some of the attending circumstances
and events of that period. The document
which is sent out by the War Department
as chronological table of battles, skir-
mishes, ETC., which took place during the
rebellion is not truthful and reliable, mas
much as it suppreeses or fails TO make men
tion of some of the most important and
conspicuous battles which took place, and
wholly 6mits the name of q most distin-
guissed hero of the war"
