i Onr city just now is blessed with excellent health. The total number of deaths (Met week ware bat 97, the weaker sex yield in? just one more than the sterner to the mor tality. The mortality among children con times comparatively heavy, there being 28 deaths of those under one vear, and 18 of thoce between one and ten vears. Oood health is at all times and under all circnm stances a great blessing. Bnt we esteem it a special favor in these bard times, Malthas and bis disciples to tbe contrary notwithstanding.
iy We bad the pleasure of a call yester day from Major Ross Wilkinson, lately the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Fifth Congressional District. The Major was a soldier ot tbe war on tbe Union side, and is now tbe most active of soldiers on the saae side, on tbe peace establishment. He gave as a verv graphic account of the progress made in Caddo and Bossier in organizing the col ored people for the Democracy. lie thinks those parishes now perfectly safe for the Democratic party by the colored vote alone, and predicts, if like good management aud energy be displayed in other parts of the Mate, mat the 1'reeideutiai vote can be car ried It SO or 30,000 majority. The Major la evidently a practical man, of whom we with we bad many more, who sees hat he situation is, what kind of soil is to be worked and the tools needed to work it, and it not disposed to sit down in idleness and i ome to starvation because he cannot have hetter.
No He seizes the plow handle, ives a lively gee! haw! to bis mule team and goes on, turning over the tree soil furrow and planting tbe seed of Democracy where lately the tares of Radicalism only grew. He thne shows us bow we can prosper politically as well as materially, in spite of carpet bag management. Life and Genics of Hknrt Timrod Onr readers will not forget that to night Dr. Brnns will repeat, at tbe request of a number of onr leading citizens, his beautiful lecture on the Life and Genius of Henry Timrod," which called forth on the occasion of its first delivery such universal enconinm The proceeds of the lecture are to be forwarded to the widow of the deceased. The lecture will be uiven in Lyceum Hall, and will commence at 8 o'clock.
Tickets, the price of which has been fixed at fifty cents, can be procured at the various book stores, and at tbe door of the Hall to night. The New York steamship landing, opposite Jackson Square, presents an uunsaally lively appearance yesterday, there being four ocean steamers discharging and taking in cargo, viz the Juniata, Capt. noxie, the Liberty, Capt. Bain, the Gen. Grant, tCapt.
Quick, and the George Washington, Capt. Gager. The steamship Cnba, of the Balti more Line, has just come ont of the Valette Dry Dock, having been thoroughly repaired by onr home mechanics. The steamship Concordia, of the Boston Line, is at the Fourth District landing. Those of ear citizens going North can take their choice among this splendid fleet of sea going steamships.
The Trot at Oakland Course Yester day There was quite a large crowd In attendance at tbe Oakland Course yesterday to witness tbe trot of three mile heats between those two famous goers. Stella and Lady Ciawford As the horses were brought out Stella going to harnees and Lady Crawford to wHgon, the Tatter was the favorite at 100 to 70 with no takers. The result was a downfall for the knowing one's as the favorite was easily beaten. In the first heat both horses shot off to gether, Lady C. in tbe lead.
On the back stretch Stella went np and passed, which the did not resign, coming home winner of the beat in 8:16 first mile inSillVj, second 5:25. In the second heat another good start was erected, Stella, however, showing in the lend at tbe qnarter, and coming home winner tbe beat by a hundred yards, in Ltttiy C. having become quite lame, being a li'ile If me at tbe start. On the second heat Stella was the favorite 100 to ot). A good deal ot cuouey cnanged hiiob on mis race wntcn was a nutcti ior The Oakland Race Courtte ia be oo mini favorite place of resort, aud there will ionbtleea be quite a number of trotting races ipen it during th summer.
CP" There passed over tne lower of the route of the Canal aud Claiborue Street Kailroad Sunday, at uoou. to which l.vu Que Ico*king mutes were altachel, a most beautiful md elaborately finished car, constructed by Mr. John Stephenson. New Y'ork, especially the directors of this road. The car, al hngh precisely the same d'menaions a the other cxi'g upon this route, is liuicheii iu the highest tyle known to tbe art, with gilded decora 01 inside, and with beautiful landictpes and other views npon the panels, both iueide Kud ont.
On one of the centre panels on the outside is represented an ocean rie uni hip at sea, while on the opposite side ia a Mississippi river scene, with one of our floating palaces at a landing and another out in the treani. At a little distance, these sketches have all the appearance of first class oil paint iugs. An excursion in this car was impro vired yesterday, in which the President of the road, Gen. Labuzan, and a number of invited uneste, ladies and gentlemen, joined. The round trip, occupying about an hour's time, was much enjoyed by the company.
The new car, which is car No. 1, is to be placed regularly on the road, with two males attached' For the first time in six years the city of New Orleans is free from the presence of Federal troops, white or black. Last week tbe troops stationed in this city were ordered to Greenville Barracks, and the quarters occupied by them turned over to the A solitary sentinel pacing np and down in the broiling sun in front of military headquarters, with his polished gun barrel blazing like a mirror in the suulight, with here and there? a few more doing like doty, are all that are left in wh wy 4' armetl aoliiery witbiu the city limit.

Vit "LET IT SWEAT Some years ago, just after the flash times in Mississippi, when there were yet tome remains of its banks, the branch of the Planters' Bank, at Monticello, had a board ol directors elected annually to take charge of its dead weight," all that was left of It. Among them was a lawyer, named Smith, who also enjoyed the title of bank attorney. No salary had been set aside fcr this office, which seemed to be wholly honorary, except that certain suits had been brought by him for the bank against its outside debtors, for which he had collected the usual commission. In the process of time the Northern banks began to see the necessity of making the directors pay also, as they had been the heaviest borrowers, and so suit was brought against Mr. Smith as well as the others, and by other attorneys.
Judge Buckner Harris, or as he was usually called, Old Buck," was employed in Smith's case, in which the defence Bet was up in part that Smith was the attorney of the bank and thereby entitled to receive a salary, which, if paid for the soveral years in which this honor had beeu held, would extinguish his debt. Iu reply, it was said that he bad been already paid in commis misnious on the suits he brought, which was all they ever intended to pay, and that lie had rendered no other services. This was denied to be true, and an instance was ci ed where, when there had been an attempt to rob the bank not of money, for this it did not have, except in the shape of its own uncurrent notes but of the claims in its vault, and the culprits were uuknown, he had teen consulted as to what course it would be best to pursue. The cashier was under examination as to this. He said that he had called the board together, after the attempt had been made, and that Mr.
Smith was present as a director. This was the only time he had ever known him to give advioe as a lawyer apart from the notes given him for collection. Mr. Smith was aeked, after all tbe others had spoken, respecting what would he best to do what he thought, as be was a lawyer." What did he say what did he say?" wa the anxious in qutry. lie said, replied tue ca inier, a very dignified and deliberately speaking gentleman, with very mild intonation, as he lifted his eye upward, He said we'd better let it sweat There are a great many cases in which the advice of Arthur Smith to his little old dried up bank, of which Old Buck" made such handle in his speech to the jury, might be regarded as the sagest and sound est, though it be not very graceful English nor couched in the phraseology of Black stt'iiol We have heie now a corporation which ought to go into liquidation, aud whose directory ought to let a good many things sweat," which it is proposed for them to co, especially such as aim at tinkering with their nances, or employing new hcbenies which only plunge them deeper in debt.
One lately proposed and probably the worst of all, because it is both demoralizing aid sure too add heavily to the tax payer's burtl.ens, is the lottery scheme. It has advocates of course, for there is money to be made by it, and advocacy will pay but it will add to the city's cost, all the prizes which will be drawn either by its projectors or their triei.ds, besides more and more accustoming our population to lottery gam blitig, of which we have already too much. The present hblders of the city hills are entitled to no special favors at our hands. Most of them bought it up at from 25 to r(i per cent discount, and wfll, withiu a reasonable time, receive it iu full They can invest it now at par in city bonds, if they a tor them, and thus have interest Theix niay be some who laid it by as sav itig but these are very few, for almost all Mit when tbe depreciation came, hurried to the brokers lo make sale No Let the outstanding city bills be brought in by the ordinary process of collection, ar.d let all who have city dues to jiay. pay in them, or let us give such as circle to reci ive them, the, notes or bonds ot" the city, sith rf.ierest, payable at some future da?

The Bishop is a man of unwearying ubors, and does a vast amount of physical as ell as mental work, in which, as well as in dt oiiun, scholarship and eloquence, he is a exalted model for bis clergy. it should be a matter of special pride to Louisiana to know that its bishop is regarded, both in Europe and In this country, aa one of the leading men on the Bench of Bishops ia the Anglican Church, which his great learning, chaste and pure style, and exalted char acter as a christian and a gentleman entitle him to e.
Bishop Wilmer passed Sunday last at Jack oc, where he assisted at divine service and preached iu the Senate Chamber in the Capitol of that now used as the worship of St. Andrew Church, whose bouse of worship was burnt by the Federal iroops on the taking of Jackson.

Buchanan and thb Citt Cocncil of Jefferson Citt. A short time sine a petition signed by some 24C of the leading citizens ot Jefferson City, was laid before I Special to tne New Orleans lien, isncnanan, protesting against tne action of the present City Council appointed by Gen.
Mower, and praying that they be either restrained in their unwarrantable squandering of the public moneys, eta, or that they be removed from office. The petitioners alleged that the Council were not only violating the wishes of the citizens, bnt also that of the Commanding General, in their willful evasions of the city charter. The Council is charged with letting contracts in a loos and irregular way, tbe city in many Instances having to pay for work which ought to be paid by private parties, and with Inaugurating an uncalled for extensive system of improve menu which, in the present stringency of the timet, would result in rendering penniless tbe poor, in impoverishing tbe comfortable and in abusing the rich. They are also charged with letting contracts solely for the benefit of contractors, and with auditing and paying bills known to be fraudulent. Again thev are charged with bestowing valuable privileges on certain parties, among whom are mentioned tbe Elevator Company, aad the projector of a saw mill at the loot ot Marengo street.
In connection with the above petition to which the General has given his attention, we puhlieh a letter from him to the City Council touching some of the matters complained of'.

8. and Ass't Sec'y Civil Attairs. The Great Texas Bridge Case. Jadge Jerry Black, of Pennsylvania, who passed through this city a few days sine, is at present in Galveston, engaged as counsel for the defence in the case of the Bondholders rt. the Galveston, Houston and Henderson til road "known as the "Great Texas Bridge Case "now before the U.
S. District Court at Galveston. He commenced his argument on Thursday, and though it was strictly a legal effort, such is bis reputation as an advocate that tbe court was crowded with attentive listeners, many of whom were ladies. The bondholders are represented by Win. G.
Hale, Esq a lawyer of splendid legal abili ties and great erudition with bat very few compeers at the bar of Texas. He, too, is a Pennsylvanian, a son of Mrs. S. J. Hale, of Godey's Magazine, bnt has resided fot many years in his present home.
Considering the intellectual strength, discipline and resources ot the opposing counsel, and their both being Philadelphia lawyers, it may be said (in the popular version of the qnotation) when Greek nieets Greek then comes the tug of war. Itp All the city is familiar, by this time, with the fearful panic thai seized upon a large portion of the audience in the octagonal building. Fair Grounds, on Saturday night, jast before the opening of the tournament balL There was really no cause for apprehension The thin little blaae, it was evident to all who bad not lost their beads, could be, as it was, easily and readily extinguished and even had it been allowed to extend, with the design of burning down the baildiug, every sonl could have escaped without panning or driving. Still there was the panic right apon us, reason as we would, threatening for a moment the firm set nerves of the coolest and bravest. A gentleman seeing how appaliug the scene was becoming, while there really waa no danger of a conflagration, went to the orchestra and requested them to play.
The )ower of wueic is so universally felt that we need not. we think, say anything alont the ptopriety of this suggestion. The person whom be atidresred looked at him wi'h a face ol titter inditlerence, and turned away hia bead. A few seconds more the panic was over. Then the orchestra played.
cnvRf strsif. On Snndsy Mr L. A Seward presided for the last time at the organ of Triuity Church, Jai keen street, foing thence to Christ Cnurcb, street. The music on this occasion was a choice selection from many authors. The opening piece was from St Patrick's Mtsu," and So was the Venite," adapted to the "Gloria" in that mass.
Gnnter's "Gloria in exrelsie'' was sung after the psalms, down 'O! Lord, the only beuotten Th Deum was that, by Kotr hmar, a very benutiful composi'ion. which eudi with peculiar grandeur. We regard it a on of the very best we have ever heard. The Jubilate" was by Millard. At! the was sung with the ustril good taste iid expression of those acvmpli had artists, Mis Uenercs, soprano, Miss Wiotrate.
con Mr Meteyer, tenor, and Mr Amos Wheeler, basso, and by the not very large but very well instructed chorus of amateur lati who accompany ibetn. 1 be offertory was accompanied by the singing, by Misses Generes and Wing ite, of the 'Qui? est hom*o" In Rowdnis "Stabat "Mater." This is a very elaborate composition, touching and tender in expression, and requires both compass and careful studv to give accurately the effect desired by the great computer. This, we are happy to say, was don by these ladies, who thus take rank with artists of trans Atlantic reputation. Mr. Seward displayed unusual ability in hi mastery ot the organ, upon which he has few superiors, aud it will be a serious Ipse to Triuity that he goes from them.
We understand that they will make an effort to replace him with an organist of equal reputation, now in another The quartette of Trinity remains The vocalist at Christ Church will be amateur ladie of the congregation, and Mr BrSaaer, the present bass, whose very correct reading is so well knowp, and Mr. Tracy, the favorite tenor. Chnst Church music will doubtless begin soon to be as attractive as it ased to be iu the days when Miss ShutUr was pnmv or in those when Mis McLean warbled there, the acknowledged nightingale of New Orleans.
