Commercial and Financial.
SATURDAY EVENING, Jan. /, 1876.

The banks and public offices being
closed to-day, nothing whatever trans
pired in the money market. In fact,
we have no recollection Of any previous
New Year holiday when our financial
circles seemed to have entirely inter-
mitted their usual operations, or SO
completely confined themselves to a
limited Office business.
Commercial transactions were equally
suspended, little or nothing having been
done but In the retail trade, In which
most stores were closed at an early hour.
The Cotton Exchange and the Mer-
chants Exchange were closed. Very
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-01-02

little was done in our leading staple,
md hardly none In Western produce. In
The former mot including 256 bales and
additional list late yesterday the sales
so far as reported, were confined 70 yoo
bales, and nothing transp'r9sd 20 a ,nd,l
hardly be expected With the total stis-
pension Of kilograms from all quarters.
finder these circumstances, we repeat
for reference our previous quotations,
as follows.

Correspondence Of tho London Tiiuesl
PARIS, Dec. G.-The Eron0n,ists Tr0n.
Gals continues its description OF the Sui
tan's habits and expenditure. He pays
almost daily visits, II says. to his collec-
ton Of wild beasts and birds. Some he
makes favorites, while TO others he
takes dislike from the tone of their
voice or other causes. and they are ban
ished from tho Imperial gardens to tho
extremity Of the Seraglio. Men -ofwar
are sent to all parts of the
world to increase his collection, and the
Governor OF every province tries to
afford him an agreeable surprise by
costly Decentralization horses, car
pets, fruits, etc. So, too, wealthy Ma
hometans, as soon as they purchase u
handsome slave, send her to the Sultan
Valide. who never refuses her. The
presents, OF course, do not come out of
the officials own pockets, but rather
serve to swell their gains, for they take
that they send the Sultan. Of late
years, pictures and vases from China
and Japan have accompanied these
gifts. the Sultan having taken q passion
for these, and havingtspent this year
100000 on pictures. The palace expen-
diturc has been E2,OOO.OO0 u year ever
since his accession. His servants num-
bcr 550O-the kitchen employing 500.
the stables 400, the menagerie 2OO while
there are 400 Caildjis, 400 musicians, 300
doorkeepers Of the u palaces and
Mosques, and 100 porters. The harem
has 1900 inmates. The Sultan has 25
aides-de-camp, chamberlains, secrc
tarics and at least 100 employees with
various functions. There are SO medi
cal men, 100 black eunuchs and 100
harem messengers. Many OF these
servants are married, and feed their
families with the broken meat,
while they have under servants,
SO that seven thousand persons are
duly fed in the palace at an average
cost of five francs a day, or 100000 n
year. The horses, 600 in number, are
mostly presented by the Khedive, who
also annually sends costly jewels, pic
lures and birds. The stables cost at
least G40,00O a year, and the harem
E160, 900, while the pensions to the i'm
perial family amount to 81 1921 800, and
repairs to the palaces and Mosques
sS0,0OO, not to speak of the Sultan's
passion for building, which, since his
accession, must have swallowed up ut
least G560, ZOO. His nominal civil list
being only Ct, 240, 900, the remainder of
the 60, 100000 must figure In the budget
under other items.

insisted upon In their great struggle
with England, was that All taxes are
gifts from the people to the Government
II this theory be u true one, then how
grossly offensive to every sentiment Of
right reason are these onerous taxes
laid upon our people, not by themselves
or their representatives, but by ire
sponsible boards chosen by an usurper.
Certainly. taxes cannot be considered
Gifts when they are thus wrung from
our people by State authority, in order
TO support institutions. both OF which
are standing insults to the community,
and one q constant and deadly menace
to its liberties.
III then, fellow citizens, this doctrine
has been found to be the great and dis
tinguishing feature OF our peculiar
civilization, shall we not defcndit? Shall
not our representatives in. the City
Council stand by the Mayor in his manly
course and refuse to be made the instru-
ments Of our oppression and degrade
ton? Sirs, 1t is claimed that we are
powerless to defend ourselves in the
face OF existing laws; that to resist is
only to invite further oppression and
wrong; that our representatives will be
decapitated and others installed in their
places. Suppose all this to be true, does
It justify departure from plain princi-
pie. .'The blood Of the martyrs is the seed

and bending the sturdy oak beneath its
resistless power, causes its roots to
strike deeper In the soil and its majestic
top to lift itself higher towards the

deeper and lifts its head higher and

What Blackbird; Do.

One day last season, as the barley in
my fields was ripenirg, the blackbirds
begun to gather about it, and my farmer
begun to anathematize them as thieves
and robbers, feeding upon what they
did not SOW. g Why, they come," said
he, Gin clouds from Naushon, and all
about u.s." Notwithstanding, I told him
I was satisfied that they did more good
than harm, and that they were welcome
to their share. The harvest begun, and
as the mowers reached the middle of the
field they found the stalks of the grain
were very much stripped and cut up by
the army worm. When the barley was
down they begun to march out of the
field in compact stream through the
barway into the next one, and here we
saw clearly what the blackbirds were
after. They pounced upon them and
devoured them by thousands, very me-
terially lossening their numbers. The
worms were 80 numerous that they
could not destroy them all, but they ma,
terially lessened them and their power
of mischief. AL honor, then, to the
blackbirds, which are usually counted
mischievous, and are destroyed by farm
crs like vermin. These army worms re-
turned after An interval of eight or ten
years.
