TO BE SETTLED.
The City Council will soon have to considorr
and settle the everlastingly vexed question or
who Id to repair the streets upon Whicn Guy
ears run. AZ tho head Of Canal street, In the
vicinity of tho former location Of the Iron ron
building, there, are numerous. . breaks 1 ana on
ruts in the street pavement which absolutely
need attention. The street contractors, on
The one hand, say that the street railroad
company had obligated themselves to Keep
Che street In repair prior to the Inauguration
OF the contract system. The railroad COM
pany, however, disclaims any responsibility
In Che matter. This Is not O new story, and
The sooner it is settled the better will 1t be for
the public at largo. who have no interest in
either the railroad or the street paving coz
tract.
APPOINTMENTS,
It is pretty well understood that Capt,
Harrison, tho chief clerk In the finance de-
partment, Is retained, together with all the
employees of the consolidated debt depart

Mr.. John G. PooIoy has been appointed

Mad Wells, arrived at the Custom House yes

his residence in Rapides. He reports his
father as being ineensed at the success Of

his intention to contest the seat of his fortu-
nate opponent. Wells will not return until
Christmas, and In the meantime his energies
will be devoted to preparing evidence to sup
| port his claims to Elam's seat.
! United States District Attorney leonard
| informed the DEMOCRAT reporter yesterday
| thHt the reports Of John Ray having been en-
| gagged to assist in the prosecution Of political
| cases were without foundation. Mr. Leonard
states that Ray has been secured by the gov
| ernment to prepare the whisky cases for
| trial. The District Attorney acknowledged
| his time will be so taken sap in prosecuting
political cases as to leave him no time to
arrange for the successful presentation Of the
| whisky cases.
| The mail service at this point needs 81 thor
ough reorganization and reformation, and
such an end will not probably be effected until
the citizens arise in their typical might and
| make @ etroDg and persistent demand for re-
| lief from tho great evils which now affliCt our
postal arrangements, The repeated irregu-
| Iarties Of the mails by the jackson and Mo-
bile roads have been so often the subject OF in
dignant comment by the press as to become
monotonous and wearisome, and still the ex-
pected relief seems as far In the future as it
| did two weeks ago. AS has already been men
| toned In these columns, neither the jackson
nor the Mobile lines are responsible for the
| condition of affairs which has existed for weeks
past, but the blame and responsibility rest
| upon their connecting lines, and to discover
| the particular offenders among the latter is
| neither impossible nor difficult.
| Postmaster General Key cannot possibly be
! ignorant Of what the people OF New Orleans
has any regard for their welfare or claims,
| he might exert himself to remedy the matters
| complained Of.
Then again the important news was re-
| GGived here on Thursday that hereafter the
mails for Galveston and Houston would be
sent va Memphis, instead Of going by way Of
| NJ organ City, nS has been done heretofore.
Words fail to express the beauties Of this
arrangement, and were tho matter not so Sc
| rious, it would bH ludicrous. The question
arises is New Orleans going to do
