Waoixson urn Csetul Ijtiattti Ths Christian world has in no previous age been so amply supplied with reading matter as it is at present, so that it becomes an important question with those who would be well informed, not how many, but what books they will read. Bo much light, frothy and sensational, not to say immoral, literature is thrown upon the market, and thrust upon the reading publij, that almost insensibly we become habituated to, and lose the more precious of our leisure hours in reading them. This is too true of many of our female readers. We hsvs been shown the first four parts of a History of the World, now being sold in this city by Mr. McDonald, agsnt of the publishers.

The work is illustrated with sixty-one of as fine, not the finest, engravings we have ever seen compiled in one book. The biographical history of the great leading and prominent characters! both male and female, in every age of every country, cannot tail to make the work interesting. On Thra4r rtvunr. Jan. la.

We refer to ths privilege of selecting members of Congress without reference to their place of residence, just as members of Parliament are elected in Great B.itain. Nothing would inspire more confidence in leading men or go further toward blotting out petty sectionalism than the adoption of such a system. It would not only elevate the intellectual standard of our national councils, but act as an effectual stopper npon the wiles of local politicians and scheming carpetbaggers. At a time like the present, when the old system established by the early Fathers of ths Republic is so generally distrusted, it would not perhaps prove inapt to borrow a leaf from the legislative experiences of other and older nations, and the one under consideration is decidedly a promising one. On the sixth page of the S'puUiean, of yesterday, appears a labored defence of the present metropolitan police system, evidently prepared in the interests of the Metropolitan Board, if not written by a member of that body.

The fact that the Metropolitans are enormously expensive is not denied, but an attempt is made to prove that the police affairs of ths city were not much, if at all, better in 1S67, than they were in 1869. This ia begging the whole question. The fact is, that in 1867 the cost of the police was a third more than it should hare been, and in 18C9 it was twice as much as it should have been. What the tax-payers of this city require is, that the number and pay of the police should be regulated by the city Administrators, and not by an outside piece of State machinery or, in other words, that the city should have a potential voice in the manage, ment of its own affairs. in the South, made to the Congress ot the United States, emanate from Radical candi- dates who have been beaten in recent political contests.

It is the old story and trick of partisan demsfocnes. We never knew one of them to be beaten did not immediately raise ertut clamor about the violence and fraud of his victorious adversaries. Thus we find the Radical Senators and Rep resentatives from this State, who succeeded at the last election, are all serene and staunch friends of amnesty and peace. But fellows like Warner, of Alabama, and others who have been beaten, have awful testimony to bear against the communities which failed to elect them. They want some new coercive acts of Congress to reconstruct them into office and power.

Is there no other means of stopping the mouths of these blatant slanderers ot the South than by pitching in large sops of plunder and patronage The Washington morning papers are fall of Mrs. Grant's "Morning Receptions.

One of or eonttnporanea, while commenting on oar adornment of certain prin-eiplea kid down by Judge Cooley, of the Supreme Court of Michigan, ton hing the constitutional linvle of legislative powers, appears to be greatly interested, to discover and expose an ineonaistency between them and the position assumed by this paper relative to the Slaughterhouse controversey. There is no such inconsistency. It exists only in the imagination of our contemporary, and is due to its inability to grasp or comprehend a legal pioposition. The Slaughterhouse bill was defended as a I police measure; its professed object was the altement of a public nuisance long complained of, and the promotion of the public health by ths removal of an offensive occupation, improperly conducted, to a locality where it comld not be a cause of discomfort and pestilence, and to insure an inspection of the cattle and meats to be supplied as food to the people. It being found impracticable to accomplish these objeots without the creation of a company, in which private capital could be engaged, or that being the most feasible mode of accomplishing the objoct, the principle recognized in the creation of the Water Works, the Gas Company, the new canal, the city railroads, an various other corporations which Lave been created in this State, was applied to ths objset of removing the slaughtering of cattle beyond the limits of the thickly inhabited portion of the city, and that of en-Mirirg an inspection of all animals slaughtered for the maiketa.

The Crescent City Slaughterhouse Company was established to that end. These were the groan -Is npon which that measure was sustained in the courts as reasonable and constitutional, npon which the State couits have passed their judgments, and which is now pending in the United States Supreme Court, where we are disposed to leave it for final determination, feeling confident that the decision of our Supreme Court in the premises will be sustained. In this connection we take occasion to say that the opposition which has been so persistently kept alive in this community by little coteries of inter-ented malignant has had no foundation in con mon sense. It originated in a desira to miskad the public and to pander to the passions and prejudices of a particular chss. Never before was so great an outcry raised on so small a capital of gritvanees.

In the workings of the Slaugh. terbon-e Company the community general has been benefited, and a mot serious nuisance long complained of has been removed. Furthermore, no class has been injured, or subjected to any restrictions which were not necessary to protect the consumers of meat from impositions which it is unpleasant even to name. It is high time that this whole Slaughterhouse question werethoiough-ly understood and judged of by results rather than by the insane prejudices or selfish greed of conspirators against the public health. It seems to have become fashionable to speak tlisrespectfully of our New Orleans Customhouse.

Of course an unfinished build- ding cannot be expected to present ths same appearance as a finished one, but if the Customhouse were completed in accordance with the original design, it would be equal, if not superior, to that of any, other building devoted to like purposes on this continent. Gen. Grant is well known as having been the utterer of one sensible remark, to wit that the proper way to correct bad laws was to enforce them and he now seems likely to read in one instance the fruits of his own les son. On the fourth of March next Revels, the nepro Senator, retires from that body, the first and, probably, the last Seneambian who will ever enjoy Senatorial honor in the Fed' era! CapitoL There is yst, however, one ne gro in the House, if an admixture of seven-tenths white and three-tenths negro blood can properly be so styled. The man is not witnont intellectual attainments and some polish, vet we are told that he is almost totally ignored even by his Radical brethren, has nothing to say, and sits in a comer where few see him." When a man is thrust aside in a corner, the next step is to kick him out of doors, and sucn will undoubtedly be the fate of negroes in the Ilonne of Eepresentatives.

As loth it and the Senate are overwhelmingly KaheaL the negroes of the South have, in the fate of Revels and Eiuney, abundant evidence to test the sincerity ot Radical professions. It is to Radicals, and Radical sentiment alone, they owe the contemptuous treatment received. Among the members of the company se lected I Edwin Booth to pro luce Rich lie a in the grandest style of histrionic art, we find Bobert and lira. Tateman, W. E.

Sheridan and Willie Seymour, neither of whom were very extravagantly appreciated when in New Orleans. It is just possible that the old Varieties audiences were a tr.He too critical. Latterly a good understanding is said to have sprung np between Prussia and England' no doubt fostered by the Ministry in accord. ance with the wishes of the Queen. Large sales of munitions of war have recently been made to the Prussian authorities, and this, in itself, is enough to secure, for the time, at least, acquiescence in the new policy.

Eng land always loves be her best customers. Treparstiona are being made at Berlin to found a war museum, in which the effects of diflt rent projectiles in lacerating the human body are to be demonstrated by means of "preparations." All the army surgeons and officers of the anatomical moat uxa are now at work among bones and bullets, collecting specimens. When the horrible collection of mortal fragmenta is fully completed, it is to be hoped that one day in evry year will be set awde for royal and official inspection invitations being extended to brother monaroha to viit Berlin and join in the cheerful recreation. It is just possible su a frightful illustration of ths horrors of would in that case tend somewhat toward the of peace, or, at least, gtve paose ia th we hours ot madness wk.vh UrnnaWy prcle the shock ef a.

Governor Warmoth, Senator McMillan and others, who advocate ths removal of the capital to Iiuton Rouge, bt.ve not ths knowledge and experience on this, subject which pos sessed by onr older resident. That experience in a very impressive and roavineinir one of the great inconvenience and many evils of such location. All the vices of onr present legislation would be multiplied aad aggravated by mak-ieff Buton Eouce the capital It is the most convenient of all places for lobbying corruption and like malpractices. Interested and de. Buroiug persons, 'jobbers and intriguers, can camr out their schemes without the know- observation an I expoeure of a large and vigilant community, and an independent and daily press.

This alone was fun nd to be an insurmountable objection to Baton Eonge as a Ktate Capital in antebellum days, and it will be a thousand times stronger in the present condition of political morality. Tartiea having special designs and interests to robaerre, will have little difficulty in getting to Eaton Eouge and plying their various influences to control (state action. The most nefarious tiansactions may be carried on ithout the knowledge of the great public, and without the chance or possibility of arresting and debiting them. The State will be committed to them before they are known to the public. Betides this gTeat and conclntdve objection to a removal of the capital to a place not accessible by railroad, there are many others.

Baton Eonge is a village. It hardly merits the dignity of a small town. It accommodations for any considerable additions to iu population are very limited. It La no reading-rooms, libraries, or public resorts no places of amusement no general and various society from which the officers of the government may derive instruction and a knowledge of public opinion. lis communications with the outside world are alow and irregular.

In consequence of these deficiencies the officers of government, especially the legislators, were so frequently absent from their places, on businews or pleasure in this city, as greatly to impede the conduct of the affairs of tbe State. After the capital was removed to Eelon Eonge, about the year a single year's experience etinfied onr legislators that it wis a bad move, and there always a majority in favor of a return to the city. But the constitution required a vols of two-thirds and this provision could never be got rid of until the the old constitution was set aside by the convention of 18C0, which -assod the ordinance of secession. Nor was this the only srverience we have had of the evils and in. conveniences of a country capital.

Long before the removal to Baton Eonge, the Mine eipt riment had been tried at Doualdsonville, where the Legislature sat for one or two sessions, to the infinite disgust of everybody, and the serious injery of the State. The members were very quickly converted from their rural tastes and predilections, and gladly returned and took up their quarters in he old Hospital buildings, on Canal street, between Diyades and Baronne. It was when all the State buildings were included in the square now occupied by rows of the finest stores the city, that tho government and legislation of this State were conducted with a ait loin, dignity and integrity to which our old nsideuts of the State recur with mingUd feelings of pride in the charactt of tee men to whom the hibh offices and interests of the State were then committed, and sorrow and disgust at the contrast presented in the bearing, acta, capacity and character of those who now fill their places and attempt to discharge their functions. The curious story, coming to us from New York, concerning Detective Fleckers clue to the Nathan murderer, betrays the anomaly oi a reward acting as (shield t3 the culprit flecker, who haili from Chicago, rery naturally object to aving the whole detective force of New Torn city made partners with him in sharing a reward to which he alone entitled and they, through their representa. tivea, prefir the chance of time in their own favor, to allowing the exce-nliLg ripe to full into ITecker'B clutches, Conseqnentfv, Flecker shuts himself np with his imorma-tion, like a email in tts shell, and the ends cf justice, if not defeated, are at least seriously and unwarrantably delayed.

This is not the first time the offer of large rewards have tended to the stimulation, iu-stad of the repression of crime nor d- we expect it will be the last still, the presei.t instance testifies fatally to the potency of ot laws, when the avarice of few police oralis can come between justice and pnnuhment of the greatest criminal of the af.

Quite a number of brilliant speeches were poured oat on the popular ear to stir the popular heart. In a communicated article which appeared in our edition of Sunday last, pointing out typographical errors, mistranslations and conflicting provisions in the new edition of the Civil Code, there is an evident misprint in the first paragraph under the sub-head of Conilieting Provisions." Instead of saying "There is antimony between Arts.

618, 709 and loo. Between Arts, 1497 and 1553. Between and 2o36," it should have been "There is antipathy," etc. The second Adventits, a religious sect at the North which professes to regulate the coming of tie miUenium by calculation. founded upon the mot obscure passages of the Scriptures, having been disappointed several times, bavs now definitely settled upon February 11th, 1871 as the date of the world's ending.

They assure ths unbelieving that upon this occasion the event will come off without fail. No postponement on account of weather. We wonder if Uncle Billy Seward, while gazing on his paralyzed arms, ever revives re collection of that "little bell," the touch on which sent so many to their doom? But these are things to be forgotten now. The publication made by the New Orleans Sanitary and Fertilizing Company is calcu lated to remove much of the prejudice which has hitherto existed in ths public mind against that corporation. As will be seen.

the present Board of Directors have them selves submitted an amendment, which is now on its passage through the Legislature, whi not only does away with all the compulsory features of the old bill, but makes a reduction of fifty per cent in the charges. Touching ths advantages of the Fys- tem as compared with that previously in use, the certificates furnished the company and published are conclusive. They furnish the highest medicaL chemical, mercantile and general testimony on the subject, and prove that wherever introduced and fairly tested the earth closet system has given satisfaction. Dr. H.

Jordan, the Representative in the Legislature from the parish of Richland, whose sudden death excited so much surprise among his brother members, was one of the moct esteemed citizens in the northern sec tion of our State. The personal charac ter of Dr. Jordan largely influenced this decision of the House. Conservative in hie principles, just and philanthropic in his feel ings and conduct to all men, and of uniform urbanity, amiability and inflexible integrity. Dr.

Jordan had fixed himself deeply in the hearts and affections of all who knew him, His untimely death will be a great loss and sorrow to the people of the new parish of Richland. The amount of corruption and fraud at tendant upon ths administration of the Bu reau of Indian Affairs is aptly illustrated by the following circumstance, vouched for literally true by an influential Northern jour nal A fchort time since two gentlemen were on a visit to Lawrence, Kansas, and. admirinir the beaut'ea of ths new town, one of them asaed of the other Waoee place is that "Ihat is the lordly residence of Mij.

Tabulated returns ot the census recently published ranks New Orleans the ninth city in population, and its ratio of increase during the bat ten years the least of the nine.
