The two lists of Conservatives for and
against compromise, separate the interests
Of this city precisely as we would wish.
On one side are the attorneys with the
| political desperadoes, who wish to nation
alize our popular miseries. On the other
is the landlord and the tenant, the mer-
| chant and his customer, the mechanic
and his employer Starving women and
children await in the agony of suspense
some action which is to give them bread,
fire and clothing. They can not freeze,
starve and go naked until 1876 At last
the practical interests of the city perceive
the game Of the attorneys and desperadoes.
1t is to throw the city into bankruptcy. 1t
is to carry future election upon the pres
ent necessities of perishing people.
Perphaps these business and laboring
people may not know to what misrepre-
sentation the politicians have resorted to
exaggerate this misery. We will show
them how the feeling Of distress has been
painted, and what statements have been
made to cut off the succor of capital and
enterprise Of which our city is SO much in
need. \ New Orleans correspondent,
February 1G, Of the New York World
makes the statements which follow:
Grants increased hostility to the South
and his apparent intention to push matters
to extremes has had a most depressing
effect in commercial circles In the last
week securities that have thus far weathered
the many storms that have swept over Lon
isiana, have declined several points, and
real estate, for years rendered almost value.
less by taxation, has at last reached the
bottom, and it is difficult to find anv one
to accept it as gift.
For number Of years the FIRE department
of New Orleans has been its pride and
boast. For year the city, owing to its |
bankrupt condition. has been unable to |
make its payment to the association, The
city, hampered by unwise and partisan
legislation, is unable to do anything. The |
result must be that property will be ex- |
posed to destruction by fire, and the last |
solvent insti:utions-the insurance com |
panies-will follow the fate of other and |
less prosperous institutions.
So real estate can not be given away. Re-
publican legislation has prevented the
city from supporting the fire department,
and her fire insurance institutions must
follow the fire department and other pub
lie enterprises. We would like to know
what capitalist would invest money in the
real estate of New Orleans? Who would
AXE stock III an insurance company which
S bound to become insolvent? Is there
my dealer in public securities who would
eek investment in the stocks of city
which go down several points under
Residential displeasure?
To fix this condition of insolvency and
disorder upon the administration of Gov
rnor Kellogg, the correspondent men
ions some events which must have been
FINISHED BY some very ignorant or vicious
lforman.. Referring, we suppose to
he case Of Garvey, it is said:
In 1872 two of Kellogg's policemen en-.

Idly, who, 1t was supposed. had consider.

While these men were searching the |
partment the old woman awoke and gave 0
le alarm. The men sprang upon
