AN IMPORTANT PAPER.
Captain Johnson's Estimated Cost of
sewering the streets.

Captain Johnson's Estimated Cost of
sewering the streets.
The following Is an estimate made
by Captain Johnson on the cost OF
sewering and draining the city. He
submitted II to DIR. Newsom, chair
man OF the committee ON streets and
bridges, who presented IL to the
council, with the recommendation Of
the committee for Its adoption. The
council voted to receive the report, but
will not net Till next Tuesday night, as
the matter should be thoroughly dis
cussed in all It's bearings. We are glad
to state, however, that the oouncilmen,
as individuals, are in favor Of It's adop-
ton, and will probably take such ae-
ton as a body, and issue bonds, paya-
BILE in twenty-five years, In payment.
The HERALD sincerely hopes they
will, IA this Is the most important
question we have to deal with. For
the bal eft of our citizens, we publish
the estimate, so they can fully under
stand II, and make up their minds In
regard to the matter:
DR.. Newsom, Chairman Streets and Bridges
Committee.
DEAR SIR-The following estimate
for cost of sewering streets Is an APP
proximate one, but is ample, and since
we have no cellars to drain, aud have
concluded to drain privies by pump
wagon, II will not be necessary to pro :
vide for anything but the rainfall and
the waste water from the water works,
etc, therefore we need not lay our
pipes more than four feet deep at the
upper end of any street.
have estimated for brick sewer
two feet In diameter, with four-inch
ring. taking about fifty-four brick per
foot, and costing about one dollar and
a half per lineal foot. Also, for clay
pipe, eighteen inches in diameter, cost
ing one dollar and half per lineal
foot. The grading will be about three
aud one-third feet wide, being one
cubic yard per lineal foot, costing fifty
cents per yard. The catch basins,

A New Orleans special to the st.
Louis Republican, dated June 4, says I:
The rectangular fight, between the
radicals for positions where they can
secure federal pap, has now assumed
gigantic proportions, aud promises,
before the little war Is ended, to
uncover half of the rascality OF the
crowd for the past four years. Every
thing centers now upon the custom
house, and the squabble for possession
of that building IL immense. First,
there are three or four white factions
who claim IL and are fighting each
other, and now the negro element has
risen up In Its mighty force, and
threatens to annihilate their white
brethren unless they deal out to them
the lion share OF the fat places. A
negro delegation have left for Wash
lngton to bulldoZe Hayes Ia the mat
ter, and are to report their success by
telegraph. II Is known that this ele.
ment has been organizing unions"
and societies TO accomplish their de-
signs aud bulldoze the collector and
Others. But 1t doesn't seem yet the
''unionsr have had much weight. In
conversation with q prominent col
ored republican politician on this sub
ject he said, when asked for his views,
that in his opinion his brethren had
better organize unions TO keep Stamps,
Burch and few others out Of limbo
