THE MILK QUESTION.

Measures were recently taken by the au.
thoritiss of Louisville, Kentucky, looking to
the detection and punishment of vendors Of
impure milk. The approaches to the city
were at an early hour in the morning guarded
by the police, who stopped each milk wagon
going into the city, and took from it sample
of its contents. These samples were after
wards thoroughly analysed, and any found
below certain standard subjected the ven-
dor to prosecution. This is a very excellent
idea, and one deserving the attention of our
own city authorities. 1t is well known fact
that hundreds of gallons of adulterated milk
are daily served out to our people by the men
who make business of selling milk in the
city.
1t is not necessary for us here to go into
discussion Of the amount of danger there is
in drinking this mixture which is so often
sold us for milk. Suffice it to say that COM
petent physicians have testified to the fact
that there is disease and sickness lurking in
the stuff which SO many of US purchase for
our tables, and that what should be in reality
one of the healthiest articles of our daily
food is converted into deleterious beverage,
which it is well to avoid the use of. We say
nothing Of the fact that purchaser is emit
tied to full and adequate return for his
money invested, and that vendor who mis-
the article he is selling is liable to
punishment; but we do say that it would be
we'll for our city fathers to adopt some such
method as that tried in Louisville, and give
The matter no rest until thorough change
has been wrought in the present conduct of

stances, part with the immediate and entire
control of the wharves for any period, but
stand ready at all times to take advantage of
every chance to reduce wharf rates, with q
constant purpose to abolish them altogether.
It will be q proud day for New Orleans
when the tonnage Of the river and of the
ocean shall be welcomed to free wharves and
free levees. That is the point toward which
our city should continually and necessarily
strive. To assess toll on the drays. carts and
carriages that pass over our streets until the
toll-gate receipts were enough to pay the ex-
pense of paving and repairs would be justly
pronounced the extremity of municipal folly;
to exact toll rent and tribute from the craft
that bring to us our business and our daily
bread is scarcely less absurd.
The Wharf Lease Ordinance is promulgated,
but there is yet time for q sober second
thought. Weconjure our Administrators, in
the name of our commerce, to pause before
communicating scheme so full of injury, and
which has no redeeming feature. It is an act
which even the military conquerers of the
city RETAINED from, and which even the Radi-
cal intruders and usurpers in the City Council
were afraid to do.

AN INDOMIrABLE SPIRIT.

Inconsistency thou art q Jewell" and ir
whatever shape thou dost appear, thou
awakenest the admiration Of all who are no
incapable of approaching the beauties of {
we'll formed character. Some such senti
ment as the above fell from our lips the othel
day at the close of brief interview with that
indomitable milk peddler and police plague,
the renowned Paddy Clarke.
Notwithstanding the fact that in the last
engagement between the hirelings of the law
and the valorous Paddy the latter came out
second best, his warlike spirit is by no means
cast down, nor his determination to uphold
his convictions of right in the least shaken.
He came to US breathing anathemss on our
devoted head, because, forsooth, he deemed us
the instigators of the villainous plot to storm
his castle and despoil him of his rights and
privileges as citizen and a freeman.
In tones of thunder he demanded of us to
make good our charge, that upon several CO.
casions representatives of his bovine serfs did
brighten innocent young children and timor-
Gus damsels, causing then to scramble over
fences to avoid too intimate contact with the
horns of the aforesaid bovines. With an air
of injured innocence we were then besought
to produce the veritable children and damsels
who were frightened, the identical fences
which were climbed by the searchers after
security, and to identify and prove the exact
bovines who were the causes of such demon
STATIONS of fear by the above mentioned
children and damsels.
When we mildly suggested the imprac lea
bility of producing such evidence. Paddy
raised his voice and declared US traducers of
his gentle character and conspirators agai INST
his domestic felicity. Paddy still has his
castle intact, and instead of being vanauished
completely by his late inadequate defense,
he has learned new lesson in the art of war.
he attributes his defeat solely to the fact
that he became excited, and, leaving his
fortress, sailed out against the myrmidons of
the law and closing in upon them fatally
injured his power, and was compelled to
yield to superior force and strategy.
In the hereafter he will remain purely on
the defense, and having placed his castle
walls in proper trim. re-arranged his imple- |
ments Of warfare and enlivened the dropping
spirits of his cohorts, he will dash down de-
struction dire upon the heads Of whatever in
solent foe dares tread too nigh the sacred pre- |
cincts of his stronghold.
In view of this determination we feel called |
upon to whisper words of warning to his
assailants. and urge them to great canton
lest they might suffer an ignoble rout from
he dauntless Paddy and his devoted COM
:ades in arms. ga word to the wise is suffi-
,ient"

CORRUPTION ON THE BENCH.

There are many abuses suffered in Louisi
ana which must be borne with patience unit
the character of the Federal Government il
changed. What we have endured since oul
first installment of Sheridan in 1868 is, with
but little mitigation, what we must endure
until q regeneration of true republican gov
eminent at Washington shall render contin-
uauce Of the infection impossible.
Among our grievances, felt intensely by the
bar, to whom the suffering and the cause of it
are daily apparent, is judiciary which can.
not be confded in with that implicit trust
which the bench in former years was accus-
toned to inspire.
Without at this time going into details or
mentioning names, We complain that those
who occupy seats of judgment in Louisiana
are not in the majority Of instances men who
combine thorough legal learning with high
character. In tribunals high and low there
are judges in name and Office whose learning
would not qualify them for admission to the
bar, and whose notorious immortality would
exclude them from the pale of decent society.

adventures, the judges who have assembled
the tribunal in this State during the compul.
sorry dominance Of carpet-baggism and usurpa-
ton have, for the most part, in all essential
respects reflected the character of the regime
under which they were promoted. A few
have been chosen by our own people at fair
elections, and in their courts fair.minded liti-
giants and honest barristers are permitted to
recall the better days of the Commonwealth.
By accident, some good judges have been
elected or appointed, under evil auspices.
But these are the exceptions to the rule.
To very many old and able men of the bar
the practice of the law has become utterly re-
pulsive from the cause stated. Lawyers, as q
rule, succeed best and are best appreciated
when surrounded by the wealthy and the
prosperous a condition which can not soon
be restored to Louisiana; but we hope that
the time is not distant when the practice of
the law in this State shall be relieved of the
reproach and incubus Of tainted and incom-
petent judiciary.

THE WHARF LEASE.

The BULLETIN on Wednesday gave q full
analysis of the ordinance for the lease of tn
wharves, with remarks expressing briefly ou
settled opinion that ''the city should for NJ
consideration surrender for any period thu
control of the wharves and levees."
We cannot too emphatically reafirm thai
opinion, in which, as we find by interviews
with many merchants, steamboatmen, ship
pers and others interested in commerce, q
very large majority of the intelligent friends
of New Orleans most heartily concur.
The debt owing by the city for the con.
struction and repairs of the wharves is $685..
600, OF less than thirty-second part Of the
bonded debt Of the city. The principal and
interest are both we'll secured, wharf dues
being pledged for the steady and uniform re-
duction of the debt as well as for the pune
tual and regular payment Of interest.
The wharf bonds are good securities to
hold, and are accordingly esteemed higher
than any other State and city bonds. There
is now no need of fastening the period Of re-
demption. AS soon as the city's credit will
enable her to effect the exchange, the wharf
debt should be converted by the consent of
the holders of these bonds into new bonds
having longer time to run, and payable in
interest and principal as other city bonds are
now paid.
We do not desire to pay the wharf debt
day sooner than required by the ordinance
under which it was created. The debt is
abundantly secured, and the wharf bond
holders are in no wise anxious to be paid. If
the city had money to spare it would be unwise
to pass over all her other bonded debt and
hasten the payment of the best class of bonds
she has afoat The argument that the lease
of the wharves will hasten the extinction of
the wharf debt therefore falls to the ground.
The wharf and levee dues are an incubus
on our commerce. They produce $4,000
in revenue, but they damage trade to many
times that amount. Wharfage is an evil to
this port only second to the bars Of the
Passes; but while the latter is natural and
demands enormous labor to remove, wharf
age is only an artificial curse which may be
at once and wholly removed in few
months.
But in order that this nuisance may be
abated, the city should, under no circum-

CANINE UPRoAR.-Shortly after o'clock

tackled by a furious dog while passing the
corner of Johnson and Canal streets. The
man endeavored to beat off the dog. but the
brute caught him by the hand and lacerated
it in q severe manner. The attack at this
early hour caused quite hubbub in the
neighborhood Of the above streets, and as
hundreds Of dogs are owned in the rear Of the
city, the CANNES for squares around set up
fearful yelping and caused quite din. Some
thing should be done for this vicious dog, if
only to chain him in yard.
