All of our local doctors admit that New Orleans is suffering under a depression that retards her development as a great commercial centre: and each doctor has a theory of his own about this weakness, and is prepared with a remedy that will cure it. Some of these reasons and avoidances are simply stupid, as, for in stance, the suggestion that Republicanism is the root of our trouble, aad that the return of Democracy will restore us to a Mazing noon of prosperity. Another is impracticable—that by varying the in dustry of the South we shall import nothing and export everything. Another is half and half—that all we need is ship ping, river and ocean, joining the grain raisers of the West with the grain consum ers of the East. And like this is another— that the bar at the mouth of the Missis sippi only needs to be kept dredged to afford a channel of twenty feet to give us all the commerce we want. The Chamber of Commerce, it is said, was thrown into a flutter on Saturday by the inquiry of Mr. Kennedy as to what we should do with our great grain con signments when we get them. It is to he hoped this tiustratiou will not hurt any body, as it is harmless, seeing that we are in a very poor w ay to get the grain. We c ay vve are in. a poor way, because either through cowardice, or selfishness, or ig norance, the main difficulty has never been touched. We want money and large minded men. With interest at twenty per cent, and with merchants too con tracted to patronize an enterprise that dif fers with them in opinion. New Orleans is clearly incompetent to swing herself aloft by the foree- of her own muscular re sources. Let us see. Suppose a farmer in Illinois concluded to ship Lis grain to Liverpool, via New Orleans, and desired to escape the commissions of the interior merchants, he would put it on a barge and consign it to himself. Taking his bill of lading for ten thousand bushels of grain, worth twelve thousand dollars at Cairo, he would enter New Orleans to make arrangements for dispatching his crop to Europe. His first astonishment would be that this was not a wheat market, and that there were no merchants in New Orleans who dealt in that sort of produce. His next aston ishment would be that his bills of lading would not be considered good collaterals for more than three or four thousand dol lars. Bat his biggest sensation would arise when he met the bank president and was told that all the money in town had just been sent cut into the country, and that advances could not be had. He would probably get mad enough to tear his shirt; however, when the banker politely informed him, in an offhand kind of way, that there io.ia a man in towu who Lad some money that he was willin; to hazard at the rate of twenty per cent, and that if he, the wheat shipper, would call in the morning, this accommodating but floating capitalist might be on hand to fleece the applicant. Is it probable that the Illinois farmer would ever forget his experiment cr renew it Good paper, unexceptionable bank paper, was shaved in New Orleans within the- Last two weeks at thirty per cent. Just think of that And think, too, that our banks pretend to have relations with Europe, where capital is so abundant at four per cent that the French govern* rnent rejected three hundred millions of dollars. Here is something real for the Chamber of Commerce to fall into a flus tration about. This is an elephant which is already cu our Lands, and before we fly into spasms about Mr. Kennedy's imagin ary cost, suppose we kick ourselves free of this present and actual evil. If the banks Lave wrought so as to command respect, let them use their good name to increase our local capital by borrowing the cheap money of Europe for our benefit. Tie Bee thinks cLeap freights will do the work. It is sure that we have all the capital necessary to own the grain crop of the West, and likens our bank account to that of Chicago. Was there ever greater verdancy rounded oft' in pretty English Never. With Never. With money impossible to be had at any price, except upon irreproach able security, and that at extortionate rates, this fossil talks of capital. Without a wheat market worth reporting in its commercial columns, it proffers to deal with an interest that requires two hun dred million dollars to operate it. This is the same sort cf brag that swore one Southerner could whip ten Yankees, is brass, and nothing more. The Bulletin suggests that if the Essayons can be kept at work the fruit fulness of plenty must soon follow where a twenty foot channel can be had at the mouth of the Mississippi. Vagary, all. So long as the grain shipper can not raise money in New Orleans at the same rate that he can in New York and Boston, he wail go where the sinews of commerce are strongest. Our cotton trade is de parting, because the rate of shaving paper in New Orleans i.s ruinous to any business. It is true we need cheap freights and a good channel, but these are mere incidents. Before the war the bar was as troublesome as it is now, and yet we bad a harbor full of vessels. Freights were high, and yet our com merce was grand. Then why the stag nation now? Simply that the difference in the price of money is in favor of the East, and cheap money is the great moti\e power that facilitates cheap freights and ready cargoes. Our own poverty is admitted. The war destroyed the resources of the South, and what capital she Las is only sufficient to work her own internal traffic. But the banks of New Orleans ought to operate on their credit to obtain funds in Europe, cnl until they do this they will prove their own want of good management. At present they are merely the usurers of society instead of being a protection It against usury. Our thank!? are due Hon. L. A. Sheldon, member of Congress, for the report of Captain A. A. Humphreys and H. L. Abbott, United States engineers, on the physics aud hydraulics of the Mississippi river. in a is in to 9S THIS FOOLISH QUARREL." g "©ias What in the world has come over the editor pf the Hcmpr We^hav always entertained a profound respect for the good sense and intelligence of friend Blackburn, and believed him a man that could not be easily "played upon;" yet something has disturbed the even tenor of his way. and caused him to believe a most terrific, deadly quarrel is actually progressing within -the ranks of the Re publican party of this State. Why friend Blackburn should Lave been deceived by the noisy bieatings of the Customhouse clique and the sound and fury of their brass band and journalistic efforts—all signifying nothing—we can not conceive, It is certainly not because he is a novice in the art cf love or art of hate. He is too deep a philosopher, and too well versed in the passions that sway good and bad men, not to distinguish the malevolent arrows of the wicked from the attacks of the wise and good in defense of principle, public justice and integrity of the Republican part and the country. Why, then, has he been deceived, and in the agony cf hi? soul made to exclaim "Now, let us have peace, anl cease this foolish quarrel among ourselves I because hi- faith is greater in the President than it i.s in the great national Republican party Aad having this faith, he believes the President will sustain the Custom house clique, and compel the Republicans cf Louisiana to accept Casey, Herwi Carter and company as its leaders. Mr. Blackburn certainly knows, that without the patronage the Customhouse c-lique re ceives from the federal government in the way of office, they would be as destitute of influence as they are cf principle. What little influence they possess he knows comes through official position; and they are attempting to use it to get possession of the State government. Surely, Mr. Blackburn is as well aware of this as we are. He knows, also, that in order to make themselves virtuous in the eyes of the President these men very indiscreetly and p ly raised the Presidential question in this State, by proclaiming themselves Grant men, and start ing characterless papers to create divisions in the Republican ranks papers that are a disgrace to Presi dent Grant and the great party they pre tend to serve. Mr. Blackburn knows this. And why he should be led by them to suppose there is a "foolish quarrel among ourselves" we can not see. These papers Lave heaped up a deal of foolish and even vi.e abuse against Governor armoth and his friends, who compose, with Lut a very small exception, the Re publican party of this State; beyond this there is no quarrel. The true Repub licans have no quarrel to make with Re publicans. Their quarrel is with the Democrats, if there must be a quarrel. But with reasonable men a difference cf opinion in politics need not malte a quar rel. A f.ur, decent and intelligent dis cussion, that will tend to enlighten the public mind, is preferable to the sense less and filthy abuse that too often dis graces the public press of our free coun try. Weak and vulgar minds are too apt to believe gross and indecent language the strongest mode of expressing thoughts, and acting from this vitiated belief, thev vie each ether in the use of billings gate. It is evidently the free use of this billingsgate by the scurrilous sheets that oppose the State administration that has led fric-nd Blac-hbum to think a terrible juarrtl is progressing between the Cus tomhouse clique and the Republicans of the- Salto. But this is not so. There is no quarrel. There is simply a slight de fection on the part of a few federal office holders and a few men connected w ith the State administration, who are loud mouthed in their professions for Grant as a means of keeping themselves in the President's favor, and at the same time are working sedulously to divide the Re publican party. RELIEF IN INFORMATION. State warrants are offered iu the mar ket at a discount of fifty-five per cent, aud are slow sale at that. This is a con dition of affairs that ought not to be, and it is very desirable that a solution of this depreciation should be had in some way. It is beyond oar power to suggest a cer tain remedy, but as a measure of relief it might be appropriate for the Auditor to give the public some information as to the exact condition of the tax rolls, and what amount of revenue there is due to the State treasury from all the different sources that are tributary to the financial department of the government. It is a well known fact that a large proportion ot the taxes arc- never collected, owing to defects in the law aud remissness iu the collectors. Before the war and since, both in our municipal aud our State govern ments, certain parties have avoided the payment of their just proportion of thc public burdens by evasions that were legal, but which were unjust. Either the notices were defective and the State was cast in her suits, or the district attorneys were mild and failed to prosecute and force collections. Then the collectors have been delinquent, and thus the treasury has been defrauded. But aside from these losses, there still stands upon the Auditor's books a large sum of money charged against the taxpayers of the State which can and should be col lected. It some statement of this amount was given to the public, with an explana tion of its condition and the probabilities of its collection, we have no doubt the ef fect would be beneficial to the credit ot the State. SUPPORTING GENUINE ORGANS, Ours is not the only Customhouse that taxes its employes to support political organs. Mr. Murphy, of New York, re quires the officials in his employ to sul senbe to two newspapers, aud though the poor fellows are told that they are free to subscribe or not, they accept the little gilt edged note from Mr. Murphy as a command and pay up. The thing is done differently by Collector Casey. He re quests his employes, as he calls them, to take stock ia a "genuine Kepublican pa per," »nd this he followsnptelth an insin this he follows upAfith uation that every Republican official ought to sqbsci^be for and pay for this "genuine Republican organ." There is no compul sion about the transaction that can be proved, but several subscribers to this "genuine organ" look aad whisper to the effect that if they had their way about it the "genuine orgau" would be poorer by their lack of support. It is worthy of mention here, that the "genaine Republican organ," to which the smiling invitation of Collector Casey has secured such a list of involuntary subscribers, is a direct imitation of the Patriot in saying nothing about Repub licanism in general, but everything bad about the real head of the Republican party in Louisiana. All of whic-h is sin gular, from a Republican standpoint. EXTENDING THE PRINCIPLE. Some Ku-Klux assassin might be found on Mulatto bayou, in Mississippi, if dili gent search was made. A Captain Wil banks owns a shell bank in that locality, and he has taken a contract to supply a large quantity of shells to certain parties in New Orleans, xlns business seems to be objectionable to some unknown people, who either want to steal Wilbanks' shell bank or to injure Lis contract. They hid themselves in the woods about Mulatto bayou, as Ku-Klux hide themselves in the night behind black masks, and when Wilbanks went for his shells they fired into Li.-, workmen and shot three of them, two being killed and the third getting a rtal hurt. This is kukluxism in spirit. When its prejudices are offended it paints up and shoots negroes. When its inter ests are interfered with it is not particular who it shoots. If Wilbanks is opposed to all sorts of Ku-Klux, we sympathize with him; if he is not, let him look to the law. ON CARONDELET STREET. Iu cotton tbs stiffer rate of sterling was unable to counteract advices from New York and Liverpool, which had an effect to damp down the rising hopes of factors. A marked decline of a quarter cent took place in the terms, and though sales were report ed as made under this figure, still the aver age is a close tit below the quotations of Saturday. The spell of immense cotton purchases sceui3 to be over for the present, aud the number of bales disposed of do not mount much over 2000. Strict middling goes off at liUse at the highest rate, mid dling being sold at lfi J 4C, and the other rades become the property of exporters on this basis. Oar cotton market is sympa thetic with Liverpool, ami late experience exemplifies this fact. A great change came over city certificate? yesterday. Brokers were looking them up at 76 cents where no one would give up more than 70 cents on Saturday. The cause of this sudden rise was attributed to a be lief that these obligations would be re eived by the fifteenth of December for ■y taxes of at. kinds. Besides, the certi utes far July were paid iu cash from the insurer's counter yesterday, which fact, when told, had doubtless a good effect. Levee stock stood still yesterday at $2 7 o to $8, and the few hundred shares sold at these figure? wi re not remarkable for any rent peculiarity. Certain stockholders who. oiubined. could elect a management of the vee company, insist upon it that capitai sts aad capital will be forthcoming, the o take charge, the other to build up the business of the incorporation should the present parties desire to leave it. These par ties say that money, of which there is said to he a want, wdi be put up: that competent men will "take charge" of the concern, that its success and the "par" of the stock will be guaranteed: in ease there is any dissatisfac tion with the arrangement made on the art ot the two magnates who "bought in" to tiiis machine, -'tor stock," they say, "rapid ly depreciates under the present inactivity aud doubt. We paid an average el ten dollars a share for it. and we neither buy nor sell it. We own sufficient shares to make it an object, aud if these gentlemen wish to east otf the levee company, we. the stockholders, will run it." Such repeti tions arc gathering strength every day, and do not help the price of the stock. Mr. Mc Comb, it is understood, is in the city. Not withstanding. both buyers and sellers were waiting developments, and each was afraid to "make a break." There were no corner transactions yester day worth the mention. All things of this kiud were txeessivelv and distressinglv dull. The Iiev. William Alvin Bartlett, of Chicago, ia an address at New York Sat urday evening, expressed the belief that although the loss will he between two and three hundred millions. Chicago might be made to look like herself for fifty millions Men like W illiatn Ogden and George Smith had pledged their millions for guar antee that Chicago will be immediately re. built. There were one hundred and ten thousand homeless, foodless people to be taken care of until May, which will cost at least fire millions, and will require even all the immense sums that have been sub' scribed. The relief committee in Chicago made their report one evening last week, show the deplorable condition of affairs. The employment society rep rts that the de mand for laborers is in excess of the sup ply. The health officers report the health lair, though there has been some increase of diarrhea and dysentery within the past few days.
