WATER-WORKs.

By an act Of the General Assembly o
Louisiana, approved April 1, 1888, there wal
granted to the Commercial Banking Compan,
of New Orleans to erect operate and owl
WaterWorks for the supply to the city anG
chief suburbs water from the Mississippi
River at such rates as the company might fix
The capital stock was limited to three million
dollars. The company stipulated to expenG
at least 500, 900 annually until the works
were complete. The city was authorized tc
subscribe for five thousand shares payable il
city bonds. The company agreed to place
one fire hydrant opposite every square Of the
city, on each eide Of the street, for the pur-
pose of eNtinguishing fires. aud also to furnish
wafer to all corporation buildings free OF
charge. The dividends on stock were to be
declared annually. and at the end Of thirty.
| five years from the date of the passage of the
! act. the right was reserved to the city to buy
the whole a: 8 price to be fix ID by arbitrators
chosen in equal numbers by the company and
by the city.
The Common Council, in pursuance Of this
provision Of the &C: Of 1888, adopted a resolu-
ton to purchase ths Water Works March 81.
1868. three days before the expiration Of the
stipulated tnry-fve years. For the shares
not already owned by the city. she was to pay
in bonds, having thirty years to run and bearing
interest at the rate of five per cent per annum,
payable semi-annually. In July following, an
ordinance was adopted providing for the APP
pointment of seven Water Works Commission
ers and Superintendent. January /, 1869, an
ordinance was adopted by the City Council to
carry out the terms of purchase by issuing
l,5OO,oO0 in five per cent bonds, having
thirty years to run. OF this amount 81, $685.
in payment for the company's share Of the
Water Works. and SlO6, 100 was reserved tor
repairs, extensions and improvements. In
May. 1869, the deposit for collections of water
rents was changed from the Commercial Bank
to the City's Fiscal Agency.
The city owes Water Works bonds to the
amount of 81, 1892 400, on which interest was
due in January to the amunt Of S34, $40, and
to an equal amount in July; total interest,
500, 500. The budget of 1870 allows for ma
chinery and pipes. etc. for the Water Works,
$50, GOO; for salaries and wages. $4,000; for
Administrators office salaries, $4,000; |
total expenditures 81. 000-total expenditures
and interest SIG. 1920. While the estimated
receipts, made by the Council in December,
from water rents is only 1925 900. 'or 81, 500
less than what the Water Works must cost to |
the city during the current year.
AS speculation, therefore. the purchase
Of the Water-Works was clearly an unprofita.

REJECTION OF PARDEE.

The rumor That the Senate had rejected tht
nomination by tie Presiden: Of Pariee for
the United States District Judgeship, was
rendered certainty yesterday about 3 o'clock
by the receipt of privats dispatch. by .
prominent Republican from J. Madison Wells
at Washington, stating the fact and giving
the particulars of the vote. The action of
the Senate was based, We understand, upon
certain charges, the nature Of which VS. have
been unable to learn, which were preferred
against Pardee by his opponents.
If the Senate should adjourn before the
President has time to send in another name,
then Judge Woods, under the law, is empow-
cred to select Judge from one of the other
districts in his circuit to act until the appoint
ment of q Judge during the next session of
Congress- The action of Judge Woods can
not follow too rapidly the adjournment of the
Senate. for the litigants in tie District Court
have suffered grievously from the procrastna-
ton of the Senate in the matter of filling the
place left vacant by Durell's resignation.

A COMMODIOUs SENATE.

We think it was the Emperor Commodus-
one OF the worst tyrants and greatest brutes
who ever misused absolute power-who
J called a solemn session of the mercenary Ro-
man Senate for the important purpose of
deciding what particular sauce a magnificent
turbot he had Just received should be served
with at his table.
| The Senate met in obedience to that order,
and after an animated and protracted debate,
a resolution embodying what was supposed to
be the recipe most likely to tickle the imperial
palate was introduced by some Roman Morton
or Anthony. and submissively adopted by
their tellow-lackeys
Very similar was the action of the
Radical majority of that once hon
ored body, the United States Senate
and more particularly of those consistent and
heightened Senators, Messrs. Edmunds and
Christiancy. who after committing them
selves in the most positive terms to the
assertions tina: the Kellogg government
was fraud, and the action of
the President in driving out the Conservative
members of the Safe Legislature at the point
Of the bayonet gross violation OF law,
have been whipped back into the traces by
the bullyism Of Morton. or perhaps, as limited
this morning by the tax-grabber's organ, by
the persuasive eloquence OF those twin
Ciceros, Packard and Casey.
We thought the Radicals who controlled
the late House of Representatives had touched
the lowest depth Of intamy which any politi-
cal party could reach, but the last act of
tlunkeyism Of their worthy compeers of
the Senate. evidently performed in obedi-
ence to the commands Of Grant, and
against the loudly expressed convictions
of many Of themselves, is the meanest
specimen of subserviency ever exhibited in
this country by any deliberative body toward
a public officer endowed with patronage and
power, and in order to find counterpart to |
it, we must revert to the annals of the Lower !
Empire and the age of Caligula, who
made his favorite horse Consul and
compelled the Roman Senators to render |
homage t" him as such. and of that other
crowned monster, who converted the body |
once made venerable by the virtues of
Fabricus, and electrified by the eloquence of
Cato and Tulus into a debating club of
,cullions.
