WHAT NEW ORLEANS SHOULD DO

We have frequently rcad with at-
tcntion the editorials of our c0ntcm-
poraries Of tho Crescent City, regard
ing the future Of tho metropolis Of tho
Mississippi valley. Very pretty dis
scrtnti0ns indeed have tho writer's in
dulgcd in, whom penning their bright
dreams of u net work Of steamship
lines to Brazil, Mexico ikid Central
America, ns tho carriers Of the cereals
Of those ricl, countries, brought in ex-
change for tho products Of tho West
and tho golden shores Of tho Pacific,
that cro long would naturally be
poured into tho lap Of tho great city,
through the manifold railways and
tho numbcrlcss steamers and bargcH
whose objective point Of delivery
would be it's va,mtod markets.
All these themes have thus ial
amounted to naught but enterprises
in embryo. Seldom though have We
seen welt directed and persistent e.
forts to achieve practical results
While induIging in bright visions,
both tho press and tho merchants oI
New Orleans, have allowed the wealth
and the commerce which is ut its vcr,
gates to be 'vcltcd to tho inland
cities of ST. Louis, The otlhr Wostcr,
centres and The sca ports of tho East
Millions Of dollars arc annually cur

tcvpriso of their mercantile firms, vii,

fcrins goods ut lower prices, while they
arc forwarded to tho purchasers ~
comparatively nominal rates for trans
portation. IL is not ut all unusual {,
have goods coming from Western
ci,,cs, landed ut Baton Rouge, fo
instance, ut u less cost than tl,os,
from New Orleans, which is but on,
hundred and thirty miles distant.

New Orleans from here, has to pa
five dollars to go and five more to re

not spend less than from ten to tittcc1
dollars. Here is a total of twenty -fiv
dollars. How many can afford to con
tribute that amount very often?

RLITIGAL.



NEW YoRk, June IS. George W. Curtis
| states in references to Hancock's nomination
1T is highly respectable, but not especially
| strong. Withs feeling of union among repub-
licans and the universal satisfaction with
Garfield ~ = candidate, he will carry the
State of New York against Hancock. MY
opinion is that Bayard would have been the
stronger man, but the democrats generally
fall in and support the ticket which has been
chosen. I think, however, that the treat
ment Of Tammany in the convention will in-
dispose that branch Of the party to the sup
port of any ticket nominated BY the conven-
ton. / cannot see any reason why Hancock
should be stronger than Garfield, before the
country, because Hancock merely represents
the democratic party, and don't believe the
country trusts that party"
SAN ERANcfsco, Cal June %. The Re-
view. on Hsncpck's nomination consideres it
q worthy one, which will unite the democrats
and render the canvass on both sides re-
spectacle.
The Alta says: at will be a great honor
to the American name could the present can
yass be conducted with clean hands on all
sides
The Chronicle says that the nominations
were on the principle Of any port in a storm.
Hancock is as great concession as could be
made safely 10 the Southern brigaders with
any hope of carrying the election. Being ig-
noTant of political affairs, he will be mere
toy in the hands of Southern schemers.
Denial.
GALENA. H., June %. General Grant, in
personal view this afternoon, denied he
ever said he would support Hancock OF that
he wonld vote for him. There is consequent
~ no foundation whatever for the statement
published in New York paper to-day.
