Laying the Dust.

Yesterday we inspected the new apparatus
of the Crescent City Improved Street SprinkIing
Company lately introduced here by Mr.. J.
Joseph superintendent, for the purpose of lay
ing the dust on our streets. Instead of the old
one-horse CARTS this new company has intro
duced here heavy tanks, holding over 600 gal
Ions, drawn by two heavy mules The water,
owing to the peculiar construction of the NOV
able cask or tank, has stronger head than
could otherwise be obtained, and descending
through large pipe, it is distributed in the
finest spray covering a diameter of twenty
eight feet. The little holes through which the
water passes are thousand in number and it
lays the dust without maxi G the streets sloppy
One of the improvements introduced is a
mechanical appliance by which. with simple
movement of the drivers foot. the flow Of water
can be cut off at once, thus leaving crossings
Yesterday there was not a little excitement
produced on Carondelet and Canal streets when
the company's teams turned out and watered
those thoroughfares. In a fine spray the water
is distributed with equality over the whole
street in quantity sufficient to prevent the
dust from rising. Messrs. II. G. Stiebel & Co..
who are the proprietors of the patent, have al
ready introduced this new invention in the cities
of st. Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis and num-
Der of other places. Already the company has
made contracts here which will insure sue
cessfu use or this improved process.
The money invested here is a guarantee that
the company means to do business here on
basis, and insures their customers
full compliance in their agreements.

4 reconstruction speaker Of the House of
Representatives Taken from
Jail to Testify.
Yesterday, in the United States Circuit Court,
In the case Of Il. G. Atwell vs.. Oglesby, Cassard
81 ais, . summons was ordered for Mortimer
Carr to appear on Saturday next and testify &C.
cording TO his knowledge and belief concerning
matters involved in this case. As this Ia case
involving the charter and privileges of the Cries.
cent City Gaslight Company, and as Mortimer
Carr was Speaker Of the Radical Legislature that
granted the charter Of that company, some rich
revelations as to how that instrument was
obtained may be expected. But what q COM
mentary withal is here presented upon that por-
ton Of our national history which has served to
win an apotheosis and memorial temple for Nor.
toni Carr, the Speaker Of the Louisiana House
Of Representatives that granted unusual privi-
leges and s'vested rights" to this company, Ia
taken out OF Jail, where he lies on charge OF
forgery and perjury, to testify to the corruption
whereby IN act OF legislation was secured in
the DAYS when he stole and lied with impunty.
Is he competent witness But the other day
Carr was acquitted because the jury not only re-
fused to believe Laun, his accomplish, but be-
cause his testimony against him, as it appears,
was totally destructive of all the ordinary and
accepted rules Of constituting and inter-
preting testimony, and was SO damnably
unworthy Of belief as to be even in
capable Of confederation. The mere fact that he
had testified against Carr was regarded as pre-
sumption OF innocence, and one 80 strong as to
overcome testimony that was in itself sufficient to
convict
In view Of this fact the public will watch with
Carr will produce when he:himself is placed on
the stand.

From the British Wreck Register some sug-.
gestive facts might be compiled. The number
of vessels entirely lost was SOP last year, being
q slight increase on the losses of previous
years. In fifteen years more than 10000 per-
sons lost their lives by shpwreck. More than
q fifth Of all casualties were collisions. A con-
siderable percentage of wrecks was due to
defects in the ships or In equipping them;
many were absolutely unseaworthy when
they started on their last voyages. A curious
feature OF these statistics is the large number
OF wrecks occurring when the force Of the
wind was not extreme-say from six to nine
knots per hour: Such a breeze is not more
than Is desirable for fast sailing, and the
record recalls the trite lines about the ships
that have gone down at sea when heaven was
all tranquility. Perhaps the trouble with
English vessels is the same as that with the
American marine; that the benefits Of i'm
proved appliances, and of better seamanship
have been neutralized by the practice of going
to sea with the smallest crews that can nos
sibly work the ship. But it is also evident
that the labors Of Mr.. Plimsol are still needed
to prevent unseaworthy crafts from leaving
port

ST. CECILIAS DAY AT THE CATHE-
ORAL.

Yesterday was q gala day, il we may be 81
lowed the expression. at the st. Louis Cathedral
The Society Of St. Cecilia, composing the choir
of the cathedral, assisted by the leading anna
tours Of this city and the choir Of st. Annes
Church, beautifully interpreted Rossini's grand
mass, which is recognized, beyond doubt, to
be the masterpiece Of the great maestro.
The occasion, as we stated yesterday morning,
was the feast Of st. Cecilia, the patroness Of mu-
siclans and inventor, according to tradition, Of
the organ; "the organ" as Victor Hugo says,
"whose cry, whose lsmentation alone mingles
heaven with the earth!"
An immense crowd of the faithful attended the
holy and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. The mass was
interpreted with great taste, accuracy and zen.
sembe" by the CHOIR, which evidently had been
well trained by their leader. The save Maria"
OF Cherubini was sung during the offertory, and
the "Incarnatus" during the credo, by Miss Hen
fiette Martin, with melodinus VOICE fnll Of
scope and fexibility, and method indicative
OF careful and intelligent study.
Mrs. Courtade, who possesses one of the most
perfect contrato voices in the city, sang the
"Agnus Del" with much feeling and expression,
and the "Qui TOLLS" as sung in duet during the
gloria by both the charming musicians, Miss
Martin and Miss Courtade, rang through the
sacred and reverberating aisles of the old Cathe-
dral like so many liquid and living notes of deli
cious PRAYER calling upon the angels for help and
upon the Savior for mercy.
Prof. Van Huf1len next chanted the 'Quoni-
ana" with his superbly correct and deeply rich
bass voice that filled the whole church and
seemed to give formulation even to the very pill
lars.
Many were the other musical. sweet and manly
voices that helped in the Interpretation Of the
maestro's musical expression of the holy sacri-
fee; among them We must not forget to mention
Mrs. Buckley and Mrs. Witham, Mr.. Meteye and
MIR. Solomon, who all acquitted themselves with
great credit, and sang their solo parts with their
usual talent and accuracy.

THE STREET BRIDGE QUESTION.


In connection with the triangular conflict
among the three elements involved in the Tchoup
itoulas street bridge question, that is, the city
the street contractors and the Crescent City Rail-
road Company, the City Attorney has added new
proposition, contained in the following commune
cation addressed to the Administrator of I'M
provements:
NEW ORLEANS, November 81, 1877.
Hon. John MoCaffrey, Administrator of I'm
provements:
Dear SRI had occasion some months ago to
give Mr.. BARLEY, one Of the city contractors, an
opinion on the question submitted to me IN your
favor OF the 10Th inst. The loads which vehicles
are authorized to haul through the streets are
limited and prescribed by article l247 page $685.
Leovy's Revised City Ordinances.
II they haul larger loads and do damage
they are liable to repair the same.
The owner Of the wheels is, 1 think, the party
party who is bound to keep the streets in repsir
whether that be the city, the railroad company
or the contractor.
Very truly yours,
b. +. JONAS. City Attorney.
The meaning of this communication is that
certain owners OF sCheels, apparatuses used in
carrying heavy articles. such as granite and mar
BILE slabs and iron castings, are charged with
riying loads heavier than are allowed by law,
wi bout taking necessary precautions to avoid
the breaking OF the iron or wooden bridge crosa-
ngs. The communication, being intended for
city official Ia not so explanative as it might be
for public use, and serves only to add q new COM
plcation to the street bridge muddie.

A COUP D'ETAT.
The ImpOsiblity of Such Movement
Now in France


Correspondence of the N. Y, Evening Post
LONDON, Oct 23.-This coup detat is little
spoken of in the newspapers, because the
subject is too dangerous a one to treat, but in
return it is the burden of all conversations
and the subject of all preoccupations On
every side the possibility, the probability, the
results and the means of it are discussed.
Some weeks ago great deal had already been
said about it. TWAS Gen. Ducrot who was to
have made it at the head of his army corps.
but the Due dAumale is also at the head of
another army corps, and he exclaimed: II
shall be in Paris before Ducrosr 1t is
as much in the interest of the Or
leanists to prevent this coup Getat as it is in
that OF the Bonapartists to accomplish it,
The two essential personages in such a ven
ture are the minister of war and the minister
of police. Now, in this particular case these
persons are two proteges of the Prince dor
leans. On several occasions during these
last times it has been wished to get rid of
them; they. have answered by threats. It
has been wished at least to dismiss the gov
ernor Of Paris. NJ. de Ladmirault. He was to
have been replaced by NJ de Cissey,
who was shamefully turned out from
