THE CITY RAILROAD FRANCHISE

New ORLEANS. September 81. 1873.
To the Editor of the Democrat:
startling rumor is current on the street
that the City Street Railroad Company, of
F. W hs Is 1pee to Of Ply
city the passage Of bill for the renewal Of their
privilege which expires IN 1880 for TWENTY-FIVE
this this Is u n ths

establish these facts. AS publicj urnal. it is
your duty to- do SO and warn the public. For 1t
is said the affair will be completed tomorrow.
or as soon Us quorum can be had. AS tax

''l'' H''''e' ~ W." JUL 0' '0"N >'"'' CITIZEN.
In reply to the above we will state that the
rumor referred to has reached our ears. We
do not however, attach any Importance to it.
The franchise of the city railroads referred to
Is immensely valuable, and neither the pres
ent city government nor Its successor will
venture on the step referred to, unless full
and fair price Is paid the city. We doubt If
one million of dollars Is too much. At any
rate, before the franchise referred to is sold,
1t should be advertised not only in this
city, but through the East and West
Our correspondent need not fear that we
will overlook the interest Of the taxpayers in
this important matter Months ago the DEM
oCRAT called attention to the immense value
of this franchise, and we shall see that it is
honestly and fairly disposed Of. We do not
believe the rumor that has reached us, that
the present administration propose, without
due advertisement to-day, or at any future
dav In disnOsa III this large and imDOrtant in
terest of the people. We are disposed to think
the rumor that SO dishonest q transaction is
on foot was trumped up by enemies OF the
present city government, for we cannot be-
lieve that any member Of the administration
would be party to so scandalous piece Of
iOhbery

We may occasionally poke a little fun

We may occasionally poke little fun at
George W. Childs' obituary poetry, but we
shall never forget his generous and unosten-
tatious charity to the South in this day Of
affiiction. His latest contribution was $500,
paid for the first choice Of a lot of boxes sold
at auction for the benefit of the yellow fever
fund at Philadelphia. The second choice was
purchased by Mr.. Childs' inseparable friend,
Tony Drexel, at the same price, $500. Tony
Pastor, the comic vocalist, brought the third
choice for 500.
MIR. Childs was not present at the auction
and his bidding was done by his lawyer, who
ayailed himself of the absence OF Mr.. Childs
10 nav him the following eloquent and de-
served tribute:
am sure. 10 dies and gentlemen, you will
aaouit nue. Of any intention to detain you with
unnecessary remarks. / am here to repre-
sent, 4 gentlemen who is unavoidably absent.

The folly of sending unacclimated physi-
CLANS and nurses to cities and towns where
yellow fever prevails can find no stronger il
Iustration than that presented in the DEMO
Gratis special dispatch from Memphis this
morning. Thirty eight physicians who were
subject to the fever volunteered their services
and fastened to the scene of sickness and des
olation. OF this number twenty-one have
died, sixteen are sick or convalescent, one has
escaped. These are eloquent, II mournful
figures, and justify the position heretofore
taken by the DEMOCRAT that all unacclimated
persons should avoid fever-stricken localities
and under no circumstances should their ser
vices be accepted to prescribe for or nurse the
sick. They speedily become charge upon the
communities to which they go, and really do
more harm than good. Their motives are be-
yond all praise; but those motives should
never be carried into action. Common sense
and common experience alike forbid it.
