RENTS and real estate which seem to
be the first to experience the result Of
any adverse influences are usually the
very last to recover from them. Such,
at least, seems to be the present expert
ence Of the American people. While
prices Of real estate have in many cases
come down to the level Of the times,
rents are maintained at the rates when
greenbacks were abundant and en-
ployment good. But there are salts

in store and house rents n that city.
From Cincinnati, St. Louis and Louis
Vile we hear similar news. In New
York and IN Brooklyn the old rents are
no longer thought of, and landlords
seem to recognize the necessity Of max
ing concessions to their tenants.
THE latest batch Of Cabinet rumOrs
runs this wise: Attorney General VIII

the Republicans proposed to impeach
Judge Duren duplicates the Attorney
General quite as seriously, to say moth

TIE English and American system of
publishing booss are very different in one
particular. IN England not one book in
ten, if one in a hundred, is stereotyped.
Here a book printed directly from the type
is the exception. This difference is brought
about by three causes: the younger cOun-
try has not so much capital in type; the
higher price Of labor makes it more costly

PATENT Commissioner Thatcher Is
called upon to decide the rival claims
Of the two great telegraph lines to
certain invention, Senator Conkling
presenting the claims Of one and ex-
Commissioner Leggets being retained
by the other. 1t is a rather delicate
task. Ifhe decides one way, he may be
accused Of being Influenced by the
Leggett ring; if the other, fear of
Senatorial power may be assigned as
his controlling motive. Possibly, be

their aversion one class with the other. The
same narrow prejudice that lies at the base of
their hatred of those who come from the Old
World to help US occupy, open up, cultivate,
adorn and enrich this new Western world,
actuates them in their enmity towards those
who live and worship according TO the tenets,
rules and faith OF the Catholic Church.
Some progress in iberality ought to have
been made in this country since 1855, some
increase in enlightenment, some development
of magnanimity. The people then Pro-
nounced against the anti Catholics politicians,
leaving their party ain ost everywhere in
minority.
The revival of tenets then condemned was
not expected at any time within fifty years,
and it must take by surprise many who were
deeply interested in that contest between the
Democratic and Native American parties.
Under the influence Of the Centennial jubi-
lee. which the Radicals propose to monopo-
lie, an anti Catholic feature may be intro
duced in the National Republican platform.
In that event it will behoove them to push
the warfare with all the vigor they possess in
order to gain by it more than they lose by
the alienation of broad-minded and liberal
RAnublicanS.

/" RIP SAM"

The Radical papers are beginning to talk
very fiippantly of the Catholic Democracy OF
the North. This fact coupled with the
Know Nothing resolution of the Radical State
Convention of Ohio, means more than little.
The supporters of Grant are well aware that
they have been steadily losing the aid OF
voters of foreign birth, as well as voters who
are members of the Catholic church; they,
therefore, attempt to make up their losses by
getting the favor and support of those who
hate foreigners as intruders and rivals, and OF
those who hate Catholics as bigots. The OPP
position to Democracy has taken many steps
backwards, but this return to issues which
ceased to be vital seventeen years ago is
long step to the rear.
There is, beyond doubt, deal OF hatred
entertained by persons who pretend to be
Protestant Christians against the Roman
Catholic Church, its creed, its head, its priest
hood and its observances. Many protested
believers in the doctrine of the Christian
religion practically ignore its cardinal tenets
by giving full range to their bitter hostility to
Catholicism. The majority of immigrants
from Europe being Catholics they connect in

THE TEXAS RAILROAD MATTER.

From what we are enabled to learn in re-
gard to the purposes of the gentlemen who
have taken hold of the railroad to Texas mat
ter. there is every reason to entertain the
most Aattering hopes of the completion of at
least one road to the Texas border before the
lapse of another year. Whether that road be
built from the terminus of the old Chattanoo'
ga road, or in connection with MIR. MorSans
road, or from an entirely new point of de-
parture, will, we takelit, depend entirely upon
circumstances 1t is not altogether impossi.
BILE that the present movement may result in
giving us two or more roads, and the more
the merrier say we, though we confess we do
not just yet perceive where the money to
construct so many lines is coming from.
We suspect the matter will resolve itself
into some arrangement between the owners Of
the present uncompleted road and its fran
chises and the New Orleans company. What
that arrangement will be it is quite impossible
to predict, though it is safe to assume, from the
high character and financial acumen OF the di-
rectors in our home company, that it
will be one which will rebound to the
interest Of our city and State, and result in
giving us the best and most speedy connection
possible with that great commercial empire
which has been entered by roads from small
cities, to the serious injury of every merchant
and every resident of New Orleans.
The gentlemen who are taking most interest
in this movement are chiefly those who have
suffered immensely from the loss of trade
diverted by railroads to st. Louis and other
points West and North, and that they are
deeply in earnest in the prosecution of the
enterprise in which they have embarked. and
in which every man, woman and child in this
city is vitality interested, we may rest assured
We wish them the heartiest g God speed
in their endeavors, and trust, as we believe,
they will be crowned with success. If their
efforts shall stimulate the Ames people to
finish their road, so much the better-two
roads are better than one-and if MI. Morgan
should conclude that o railrosd would benefit
him, why, three roads would not be amiss,
and the time will come when three roads
will be required to transact the business.

vailing opinion is that it is probably the best
thing that could have been done, and that the
effect will be to appreciate all classes Of city
securities.
Some of the largest brokers approve the
plan, and have put in their bonds as evidence
Of their faith in its success, and we learn that
nearly $4,000. 600 of bonds are already Offer
ed for exchange. The rapid appreciation OF
city bonds in the last few days is attributed
by some to the fact that confidence is felt by
capitalists in the plan, while others attribute
it to the fact that large purchases are being
made by parties interested in the Water
Works lease.

LEASE OF THE WATER WORKS.
THE ORDINANCE PASSED.

On Tuesday, June 9Th, there was insloou' !,
in the City Council an elaborate and care1o-iy
prepared ordinance providing for the tease q
the city Water Works for term OF NIFTY years.
with a contingent lease Of twenty-five years
longer. A careful synopsis OF the ordinance
was given in the BULLETIN OF June w. pre-
.antino all the essential features contained
in the ordinance as finally passed yesterday
lune Is. This action is somewhat more
prompt than we or the public expected, but
it is probably all for the best. The ordinance
il a yery safe one, since the Council reserves
the right to reject any and all bids for the
purchase, and to re-advertise for new bids
By the terms of the ordinance, it will be re-
membered that the Council will in no event
relinquish control over the Water Works, but
will at all times retain the power to compel
the due and faithful performance by the
lessees of their contract with the city.
The ordinance is in the hands of the Mayor
for his consideration and for his signature If
he approves it, in which case we are Of the
opinion that pains should be taken to give it
wide publicity. 1t is the most important
action of the present Council, involving an
exceedingly valuable property Of the corpora
ton and affecting in direct manner (as We
hope for good) the great water supply which
ranks in necessity with the supply Of air and
of food.
We have anticipated from this lease GER
tain decrease of the city's debt, to the amount
of three or four millions, an annual saving
to the treasury in interests and costs OF fifty
thousand dollars more, and greatly improved
chance for the introduction Of new measures
which will further cheaper the supply OF ibis
indispensable element. The prompt energy
of the Council is an evidence that these anti
cipations are not to be disappointed.
Until the bids are opened and accepted,
and until the lessees have signed notarial
act in due form, the Water Works lease ordi-
nance is open for amendment and addition
There being no occasion for haste. We hope
the Council will make their work as complete
as may be.

suit in restoring the city credit and in the ad-
justment of all our municipal troubles.
