Death OF Daniel p. Rhodes.

The Cleveland papers Of Friday
brought us the sad intelligence of the
death ofDaniel z. Rhodes, which took
place at his residence on Franklin
street in that city at about nine O'Clock
Thursday evening. The Leader says: !:
"Mr. Rhodes was taken i'll while in
Chicago about two weeks ago, and
was obliged to leave for home. We
were not informed as TO the nature OF
the disease which carried him oil, but
as near as we could learn, he caught
cold, which resulted in the formation
OF an abcess ON the side Of his neck.
He was not considered in a dangerous
situation till yesterday noon, when he
commenced failing, ending in his
death at nine O'Clock. y 3.
"The entire community will receive
the news o. the death OF Mr.. Rhodes
with a feeling OF deep sadness, fer he
was gentleman who won all to him
by his Kindness of heart, genial dispo-
sition and his rough-diamond sort of
manners. He was a most answering
Democrat in politics, but we know OF
no Democratic gentleman who has SO
many fl lends among Republicans as
Mr.. Rhodes had. He was Democrat
in name as we'll as in principles, for
although a millionaire as far as wealth
is concerned, yet he was a most unos-
ntentatious usgentleman.-never made any
distinction whatever amongst his &C.
quaintances on the score of position
in society or amount of wealth pos
sessed,' We have known Mr.. Rhodes
forever a quarter aof a century, and
we escan sincerely, say that We have
newer heard a. word uttered dispar-
agiIHglY, Of hin him ni as a man nan OF integrity
and honor
"i"Mr. Rhodes was born in Vermont

sixty-one years okage. lie moved TO
Cleveland some forty years ago, and
married Miss Russell. He has been
largely engaged IL, the coal business,
and has been engaged in some railroad

has been remarkably successful.
Mr. Rhodes leaves wife and three

BUNTING BUNCOMBE.

The Shreveport Times asserts that we
are not pleased at the cordial reception
given to Jefferson Davis ''by the people,
of Texas. We have never felt or ex-
pressed displeasure at the ovation re-
ferred to, simply intima ting that it might
be possible to have a creditable cattle
show at Houston without the additional
attraction offered in the person Of Mr.
Davis. The gentleman spoken of is an
humble citizen Of Mississippi or Tennes-
see, and may, possibly, make his home in
Texas. He has been released from con-
fnement in Yankee war prison, and has
a right to go where he chooses to be:
those who worship him have a right to
receive him in g manner after their own
hearts. 1t is not pretended that MIR.

NOT THE AUTHOR.

The pic0yune says that the secretary Of
the city treasury sis not the author OF
the premium bond scheme. He does not
pretend to be- We knew that all along.
We knew that this scheme had been
snaked in on his good nature Or inexperi
ence by some parties who wished to use
him as the innocent agent of outside adj
vantage. The Picayne lays the scheme
on the broad shoulders of Baron Roths-
child and the rather insignificant respon-
slolllty OF whatever broker may have at
tempted to stuff our secretary with the
idea that it was worthy adoption. The
Pacaytne says it was first introduced
under the name Of Tontine. This can
not well be. The Tontine is a very old
institution. IT differs from the tombola
IN this: A number Of persons put up q
sum ofmoney each. It is put at interest.
The survivor or longest liver of the party
gets all. IN our civic tombola, the bond
holder who may live to the end of the term
OF half century may not get anything
at all. We are glad to see that it was not
our secretary OF the treasury who has thus
Add1ed our city finances. Now let us
nave something domestic, with which
herr Rothschild and the Tontine have
had nothing to do.

On BOTH SIDES OF THE PAPER.

It IS a common notice to correspon.
dents that they mus. not write on both
sides Of the paper. Our neighbor Of the
Ptcdy'ne has committed q fragrant viola
ton of this precept in its Fridays issue:
a correspondent thus compliments the
PicGy!ne ca one side OF the paper:
| THE PREMIUM BOND PLAN.

occasions IN the past, when right was seized
| by 1t as by instinct. comes to the front most
| ably and correctly in its vinlication OF the
premium bond question: plan, the purpose
Of which is TO liquidate the bonded ind.b,
edness of this city.
The plan meets the case exactly, and
should be adopted by the Council without
hesitation.
On the other side of the same paper we
have the following editorial comment
upon financial legerdenain:

tares and municipal o.fici0ls who come
forth now with pieces of parchment CON

cyclists WHO raniuly hope to deceive the
world into the opinion that they have
Srasped the past. present and future, and
then very dreams are to be bought with
actual capital. which is aggregated labor.
We have italicized certain phrases which
would indicate that some mischievous or
maladroit spirit has got in on one side Of
the paper, vehement and contemptuous
reproach OIL the doctrines set forth and
advocated upon the other side of the same
paper. To what municipal officials
does the paragraph refer? Will it take in
the honorable secretary Of the city treas
ury! To what pieces OF parchment does
it allude? Undoubtedly to those tunko
tickets, because if a person, his posterity
or assigns are TO hold them for 1.-The next
half century" these tickets mus. be of
some very durable material. proof against
the humidity Of the climate. Hence the

places. :. Any sort OF cotton, long or short
staple OF New Orleans or Texas. would
answer for manufacture. 2. This question
! Is more difficult, but l do not think you
could induce any good skilled mechanic
with means to undertake manufactures in
your place.
This is an instructive, yet not discourag-
ing communication. The time was when
New England had no manufactures, when
Boston even opposed a protective tariff
Manufactures having been planted and
inculcated by capital and intelligence,
the mechanic arts have suspended even
the commercial interests Of the East
The same change in the pursuits of one
people may be effected here by similar
means. With the same necessity which
compelled the East to adopt manufactures
New Orleans has advantages superior to
those enjoyed by the pioneers OF an
earlier date. Many manufactures are
now conducted by machinery, which will
produce as accurately at one place
as at another. A large amount
OF skilled labor. estimated at
forty thousand per annum is imported
INTO the United States, and will as soon
come to Louisiana as anywhere else, with
equal inducements. With imported ma
chinery and skilled labor New Orleans
can produce special fabrics in as great !
as the same machine and o. |
eratives would elsewhere. The compare
tive cost OF production here and elsewhere
must be a matter Of interest and it can be
proved that New Orleans certainly offers
some of the elements Of certain rroduc-
lions on very favorable terms
The Eastern correspondent answers
very positively that skilled nlechan-
cs with means could not be in
iuced to come to New Orleans.
When this assertion is coupled with the
tatement of great local depression,
would appear that there must exist
prejudice against our city in the minds of
hose operatives which does not dispose
hem to include work and residence here
mong the prospective resources Of an un-
m ployed people. We should be sorry for
lis prejudice if it exist, but nothing should
vert our citizens from the prosecution

CIRCULAR OF THE FOREIGN E0NDEC1p
Frs.

| The council Of foreign bondboilers in
Lombard street are out in another circu-
lac on the subject Of Louisiana securities.
4 copy has been mailed to tie REpyE-
fLCAN, for information probably, with the
ultimate view of giving it local publicity
With the details of the plan presented
We have little to do, since we must con-
cede to the parties in interest the right to
seek their remedies in their own way
But we except to the language and the
spirit Of the circular. 1t will be seen
that what springs from necessity is at
tributed to dishonesty and government
stupidity. There is, of course, little or
no terror III the threat that in CONSEQUENCE
OF our failure to pay our debts Louisiana
securities are to be tabooed in the money
markets OF the Old World, since we have
formed resolution, which We hope to be
able to live up to, to go upon a cash basis
in the future and borrow no more money,
We hope by the time all the cid bonds
and valid debts are duly scaled, and the
State debt brought down to fifteen mil
lions, that we shall be in a condition to
buy and cancel a few thousands On State
account. 1t is rather the heroic effort Of
a weak debtor to pay as much Of his obi
CATION as possible, obtain release, and
start on a new basis. We shall certainly be
very much obliged to the European capital
lists if they will remember their promise, or
threat, to lend us no more money In
that event one strong temptation to be ey-
tEavagant will be removed, and we will
learn to 60 without things till we have the
money to pay for them. Louisiana can
stand it if the foreign capitalists can. It
will be million and half year saved
to Us and lost to them.
1t requires long narration to explain
how we fell into such fix as to be COM
PEELED to ask compromise with our
creditors. The story has been told very
often and truthfully, and if Messrs. Arthur |
himber and associates have never heard |
it, they are not SO well informed as thew
oughtto be. Perhaps the gentlemen may |
be perfectly well posted in the fnancial
difficulties of Pericles, Edward l., and
wen the unfortunate Charles l., and atthe
anne time boast that they know little or
'othing about Louisiana. 1t is fashion,
bile to affect classical knowledge but stop
hort OF the threshold of the modern and
PRACTICAL. Let our European cousins be
onsoled. We do not order these thincs
ny better here. But so far as this city
nd State are concerned, there promises
D be universal assent to the doctrine
inundated in the circular, that we shall
ave no more market in Europe for our
onds at ninety cents on the dollar.
