THE CARROLLTON GAS BONDS.

The suit Of Freeman Clarke VS.. the city of
New Orleans and the Jefferson Gaslight Com
pany, instituted on the t4th inst In the United
States Circuit Court, is not well understood ut
the City Hall The suit calls for the payment
of the interest coupons that have matured
since July 1, 1874, on forty-tive $1,000 bonds,
having thirty years to run. and now In the
possession Of plaintiff. These bonds were is
sued by the City of Carroiton prior to its an
nesation to New Orleans, the condition being
that they should be paid by the City OF Car
rolton In case the Jefferson Gaslight Conn
pany, the indorsers thereon, should fail to pay
them.
The Mayor is under the impression that q
suit which was brought in the same court
against the Jefferson Gaslight Company, and
In which the city Of New Orleans was called IN
warranty. was dismissed some time ago. 1t
would appear that the first suit was improp-
erly brought against the tndorsers. the gas
light company, and that the new suit is in
tended to correct the error. It Is the opinion
Of the Mayor that in case the city Is COM
PEELED to pay these bonds the works, mains,
pipes etc. Of the Jefferson Gaslght Company
revert to the city In fact such appears to be
the case according to the text OF tho ordinance
authorizing the issue of these bonds by the
city of CarrOlltOn.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THOSE 100000.

The report Of the House committee on the
memorial of the city Of New Orleans, asking
TO be reimbursed $4,000 disbursed by the city
during the months of january, February,
March and April, 1877, for extra police pur-
poses, was the subject Of some conversation
at the City Hall yesterday. Whilst the hope
is still expressed by the authorities that
justice will be done the city, 1t was said that
constitutional objection was urged against the
passage of u bill for tho relief. Of the city in
this particular. The objection is that accord
ing to the constitution Of the State no appro-
priation can be made for expenses incurred in
1877 except out Of funds derived from the
revenues Of that year, which are believed to
have been already exhausted.

The best preventative measures for
zymotic diseases is exciting much at
tention. DIR. Baxter, official chemist
of Liverpool, England, and one of the
most eminent chemists of England
has just concluded under the instruc-
tions Of the city of Liverpool a
thorough and systematic series of ex-
periments on large scale. The fol-
lowing Is the summarized results:
That the use of carbolic vapors for
disinfecting purposes should be aban.
doned, owing to the relative feeble.
ness and uncertainty of its action.
That the old plan Of stuillng NJ
crevices and fumigating with sulphur
and charcoal Is more eliicacious than
any other proceeding with NOR,
modern disfectants.
That dry heat, when 1t can b ap
piled, Is more probably the mos ei
hciens of all disinfectants.
