Mr.. New offered a resolution in the
house of representatives, yesterday, declar
ing that everything is lovely; that the
federals and contederates are joining
hands as one people, and that congress
should do nothing to unnecessarily disturb
the patriotic concord now existing: The
resolution seemed to be so good JOKE that
everybody voted for it. And then Mr..
fort, whose idiocy is-as the Iowa
Africans say of Grants Integrity incor-
rig;ble, and whose eccentric disturbances

A Word About Marriage

A physician writes the following sensible
advice: MY profession has thrown me
among women of all classes, and my ex
perience teaches me that God never gave
man greater proof Of his love than to
place woman here with him. My advice
IS: Co propose to the most sensible girl
you know Ii she says yes, tell her how
much your income is--trom what source
derived and tell her you will divide the
last shilling with her aud love her with all
your heart In the bargain. And keep
your promise My word for it, she will
live within your income, and to your last
hour you will regret that you did not marry
sooner. Gentlemen, don't worry about
feminine extravaganza and feminine un-
truth. just you be true to her. love her
sincerely, and tell her Of it frequently, and
more fond, faithful. foolish slave you will
never meet anywhere. You won't deserve
her, know, but she would never see it.
Now throw aside pride and selfshness, land
see what will become of it.

THE WHARF LEASE.

Tomorrow the Mayor Ii to meet the
holders Of the wharf bonds, to consult
with them I'm relation TO the proposition
or the lessees to modify or change their
contract of lease. The bondholders and
contractors seem to be adversely Inter
ested In this matter. and the wishes of
neither party should exercise any intiu-
ence upon the Mayor and Council, ex-
cept In 80 far as they may accord with
the Just interest Of the city We do not
think the petition OF the lessees for
a modification Of their contract
should be granted, and we doubt
II the Council has q right to grant
II. In the contract OF lease itself 1t is
expressly stipulated as follows 1T Is
also we'll understood that 1t is not In the
power OF the City Council, or any officer
or department OF the government OF the
city OF New Orleans, to release the con
tractor from n strict compliance with
thls contract In all Of its conditions and
In all respects" How is the Council TO
evade this clause Of the contract, which
directly iorbids any modification Of the
leases
II the lessees have in truth made a
bad bargain, their only course II to for
felt the lease, Withdraw from a losing
contract, and take the chances Of being
forced to pay such damages as the city
may claim. But II Il not entirely Ger
tain that they will find it necessary to
resort 60 this desperate step. We are
creditabIY informed that, If the present
lessees will not carry out the contract,
the bondholdeis, OF a number Of them.
are ready to organize company and
assume the contract In its present shape.
lf the hondholders. Or any number Of
them, are sincere in this proposition, we
presume the troubles Of the lessees
may be regarded at an end. This, how
ever, IL matter between the con
tractors and the bondholders. The
Council has before II the sim
pie duty of protecting to the
last cent the interest Of the city. If the
contract Ia a loosing one fof the lessees,
aud it's enforcement ccmpels them TO
throw it up, the city can and should re-
serve the administration Of the proper
ty and deal with she bonds according to
their real legal merits, which are
claimed to be doubtful. If, upon the
other hand. the proposition Of the les
sees for modification Of the contract
is, as is charged in some quarters, a
movement to bear the bonds, the firm
attitude Of the Council will check it.
In our opinion all parties In interest,
the city. the hondholders, and the lea
sees. should be required to stand strictly
to their obligations aud on their legal
rights. There can be no question. at any
rate, that the plain and imperative duty
OF the Council Is to protect the city .
