be said on the side Of these strikers, and a
great deal of this the government itself is
responsible for. These men say, and with
justice, you give to capital extraordinary
projections and exclusive privileges; you
lend it your credit, which, by shrewd finan-
cial operations. they make supply the alb
sence of real solidity and solvency, and then
you protect the monopolies you create by
extraordinary privileges and special legisla-
ton. But what protection have
you afforded us. the men whose sinew
and muscle have created and given life
to these great enterprises? What assurance
have we that our labor wins us q vested
right, or that when the days of our useful
ness are gone we shall meet with anything
butneglect and poverty? Nothing but the very
imperfect obligations of charity and graft
tude. 1t is true that the step from this sort
Of argument to Communism is but short one,
but SO long as the protective spirit exists
at all in the governmental polity, labor has
more claims upon it than capital, and there is
a measure Of justice and reason in these COM
plainings.
All of this must be corrected, and how it
shall be done is the question Of American
civilization.

Jenny Lind, who excited the greatest Juror
ever known in this city, on her visit in 1850,
acknowledges to fixty-six years, and writes
with exuberant joyfulness over her recent
achievement in maternity, in presenting her
husband with an adorable little girl, who is
the perfect image of health and happiness,
and laughs and crows in way to delight all
sympathetic hearts," The little Jenny is to
be second nightingale.
Fifty-six years, and new baby. Well, we
always thought Jenny was a phenomenon.
In musical gifts, in wonderful organization
physical and intellectual-for the emission OF
melodious strains, she was never equalled.
But to be historically exact, we never I'M
agined she would prove so brilliant success
in the matrimonial and maternal line. She
was very homely, rather cross-gralned, and
by no means of the tender and melting sort.
The only occasion on which she was ever
known to exhibit any gush OF affection was
when parting from Boudro, who had charge
Of her kitchen during her sojourn here,
in the Pontalba building. She embraced him,
kissed his cheek, and declared in her most
musical tones, ''You are the only man that
have known in this city who has ministered
to my happiness This declaration, was
creditable to her heart and caste, for Boudro
was then the chef Of gastronomy in this
city, and no one had a keener relish or
larger appetite for artistic viands than the
Swedish nightingale.
For this alone she deserved to be mother at
fifty-six We trust, on little Jennys account,

The Times has st. Louis letter describing
the march Of two companies of United
States infantry through the streets with
Colonel Fred Grant at their head. When
was Second Lieutenant Grant promoted to
the command of two companies Of United
States infantry, command due to major
orcaptain? For what acts or on what authori
ty has this aspiring young warrior obtained
this extraordinary advancement over the
hundreds of superior officers, many Of them
veterans on the army rolls. We thought
that Fred. was sub-officer in Custer's regi-
ment, and on leave of absence when that regi-
ment was cut to pieces by Sitting Bull.

We publish with pleasure Mr.. Blane's
statement as to the contributions of the Su-
gar Shed Company to the city revenues. We
have no desire to misrepresent any fact in re-
lation to this or any other association OF the
city, and, in fact, took more than ordinary
care to obtain all the information in regard
thereto which could be procured. and We're
little facilitated therein by the parties inter-
ested in the company. In regard to the state
ment as to the non-payment OF State taxes,
we have corrected it elsewhere. AS to the
city taxes we cannot agree with Mr.. Blanc
that bonus which does not amount under
the contribution as reported by the City
Council for the use OF the privilege enjoyed
by this company, to more than ten thousand
dollars for ten years, can be fair computa-
ton of tax which, according to that imposed
on other citizens, would amount to more than
twenty-seven hundred dollars per annum..

THE SUGAR SHED COMPANY.

We were in error in stating that the Sugar
They resisted the demand therefor most
vigorously and for long time but were
eventually compelled topay.
Our correspondent, "Saccharine," who de-
tends this company against the report Of the
Administrators claims that the company has
paid the city some ten thousand dollars Of
taIes. What has been paid the city Is not for
taxes, but for rent and use Of the city proper
ty, for the privilege of collecting certain
charges on storage. It is not in lieu OF taxes,
and it's payment cannot exempt from the tax
business are subject. We do not propose
now to reply to all the pleas set up by our
correspondent in defense of this corporation.
We will do so shortly. But we may as well
here notice grave error he makes in speak
ing of the chartered rights of this company.
This company has no charter, except that
which extends to and over all citizens and
property. 1t is only lessee and contractor
with the city, which is charged with violat-
ing and abusing the conditions of its contract.
It is great and erroneous abuse of the term
to speak of the chartered rights of eontrac-
tors with municipal corporation. Chartered
rights must emanate from the State. The
city cannot grant them. 1t is creature Of
the State itself. 1t may, however, make
contracts within the law and under the con-
stitution. We have already enough chartered
monopolies created by'corrupt legislation,
without going to municipal corporations to
add to them.

The leader of the Pittsburg strikers, who
opens diplomatic communications with Col

Major Pitcairn to the Boston strikers, as that
memorable historian, Peter Farley, has writ
ten it down.

didn't ''disperse worth continental" 1t re-

They admit the Presidents good intentions.

apprehension that he Is a credulous, unso-
phisticated young gentleman who has been

The Hoodlums of California are curious
organization, who claim an utilization with
the labor strikers of the East. 1t appears,
viewer, that their movements are on the
very opposite line Of the policy of tho labor
strikers. They burn and break up the China
men, who are doing pretty much all the labor
of the city, on the broadcast principles OF free
trade, without aid, subsidies or any sort OF
favors or exclusive privileges. They fix their
own rates Of wages and dictate to nobody,
and coerce no one to employ or support them.
Instead of q strike of labor this movement
against the Cinnamon ought to be regarded
as O strike Of idlers and bummers against
labor and industry.

STATE OF LOUISIANA,

Whereas, section 3O49 of the Revised Statutes
Of the State of Louisiana approved March IA,

proclamation. upon the advice Of the Board of
Health. declaring any place whore there shall
be reason to believe pestilential contagious or
infectious disease exists to be an infected place.
stating the number of days quarantine is to be
performed by the vessels, their passengers. off,
GERS and crews coming from such place or
places"
Now therefore in pursuance to the provisions
of the statutes aforesaid. and upon the recon-
mendation of the Board of Health stating that
there is reason to believe that at this season OF
the year there is danger Of the introduction
from the tropics of yellow fever contagion, l.
FRANCIS T. NICHOLS, Governor of the State
of Louisiana. have thought proper to issue this
my proclamation declaring that all vessels arriv-'
ing, from and after the fifteenth day OF June,
A, D. 1877. from the ports of Rio de Janeiro, Ha-
yana, Matanzas, Sagua La Grande. Cardenas
Cienfuegos, Santiago de Cuba, Kingston, Porto

iect to quarantine of ten days.
And do hereby direct the proper officers at
the Quarantine Station to rigidly enforce the
execution of this proclamation, and any VIOLA
ton of the laws of this State this subject mat
ter to be vigorously prosecuted.

NO SUBSIDY.

The Times says, referring to the resolutions
of the Ohio Democratic Convention:
Ephraim is joined to his idols, and the
Democratic party Of the North seems inca
pable Of evolving new idea" And this be-
cause of the resolution in the platform of the
Ohio Democrats opposing subsidies, whereof
the Times says:
I'm State that was built up by subsidies,
| and Is rapidly approaching period when an
| outlet for her agricultural products will be
reached only through the Mississippi river, q
| refusal of government aid for its improve
ment is among the most glazing of recent in
| constituencies.
The duty of the Federal government to aid
| in the construction and maintenance of the
levees of the Mississippi ought not to be
placed on the ground or given tho character
or designation Of a $ tsidy. 1t Is nothing of
| the sort.
The obligation of the government to apply
| just amount of the revenues collected from
| the people to the improvement of the rivers
and harbors through which the commerce of
| one-half Of the people must pass is not one of
| charity, favor or benevolence. It Is duty of
defense and protection of the people, and a
NlSo poIlSy, III duuby,
to appropriate its revenues SO as to augment
| its own revenues by increasing the tax-pay
| ing capacities of its people.
Neither the States nor the people have
| the means or agencies at their command to
keep this great internal sea" within its
banks, SO as to SECURE free and safe naviga-
cation, and the enormous facilities which it is
| capable of affording for the uses and vast en-
| largement of commerce. 1t can only be done
by the national government The withhold
| ing of such aid and defense OF the vast terri
| tory and population now more than ever de-
pendent upon the secure navigation of the
| Mississippi, and the protection of its rich
| lands from submersion would be the grossest
| injustice, wrong and cruel neglect Of which a
government with the resources Of our ma
tonal government, was ever guilty.
We ask no subsidies, but the jewellers in the
Mississippi Valley and its tributaries demand
that portion at least of the money paid by
them into the national treasury shall be ap-
piled to the defense and protection of their
property, their commerce and their house
