Tie eccount Fhiow noem o'riiE.i- (of different purcheses smade in Paris by plaintift t,-r defendant in bthis city, paid for by referiuant in French cur. rercy. After a long and interesting review the court or ders the suit to be rtopered for the introdu:tion ot testimory asto the t!e of the trsnsot:lons and the relative ratesof exchange, and to those ones tions solely. Jodge ctooley r2sterday rendered three Imnort ant decisirnus. 'ihe firt w': s in the cse of Victor Isidore Decoux vs. Henry Miller. Decoux alleges t•.-a he wv-s employed by defcrdant as a marker of cotton bates, and worked as such during the busleess season of 1oii-7, claiming to have marked 33f0 Dales, at live cents per bale. De ferdant pleads he did not employ plaintif by the season, but merely by the job, and that he was paid by the job. Plaintiff proves a contract to tmark at the rate of Wve cents. Defendant shows only that he made no written contract with plain tiff, nor any contract binding plainttf to work exclusively for him, the defendant. The judge makes an impartial and most able rewiew of the testimny and arguments, and gives judgment for plaintiff for having marked 24,000 bales at five cents a bale. In the matter of the City Railroad Company vs. the Crescent City Railroad Company, Judge Cooley yesterday rendered a decisien briefly as foBlows: Piintib claim that the Oity Coouncil granted them certain privileges in relation to the laying of a railroad track along certaln streets and the ronning of cars thereon. That SD. EcCoard, pretendlug to bhave rmlved rom the etty rights of a iIlar aharac ta, ad which, o some extms, vyi.: the partioe Sof the road represented by a certain etion ot SCanl treet, would conflict with the exelylve righin prevou granted to petitioner, inatituind suit gnl elimt I thlesesrt to emfore bi rights. the lt of the suit was a compro mise bywhich McCoerd, for a eonaideration, re SUod the "apparent right" he had under thgramt I o the oily, to lsy atrcsk tlog the said portion of Canal street, and that another por tion of said street was allowed hi a In conclusion. Judge Cooley decides as fellows : "lT iF immeterial whether the rig'ta 'f toe partee, under their respective grants by the cl'y, were such as they pretended; the compromise, was in tended to settle forever their pretensions, if not their actual rights. "The effect of that contract, an" the obligations resulting from It, was to prevent hI C. ard4 r his asrkgna from ever deriving any protit from laying a track cr running passenger cars over a certain portion of Canal street, to the aijJr7 of p.!atisff. He received for this waiver a valuable cousidera tion, and it would be against equity and our laws of warranty to permit him or his assigns to acquire a title from the real owner, the city. and e'uploy that rtle to disturb and injure the ptainti~f, in re lation to the en.Iiryment of those privileges whe!b he had relinquished in their favor for a valuable CWidt ratio . The irjunction is made perpetual." A rule was taken today upon the commisdsn-. era of the B.nk of Loutisiana. to show cause why they should not rec ire the back nots of the btnk in payment of indebtedness due to the bank previous to the forfelture of its charter. It ap pears that the conrmr's -uers of the bank refase to receive the notes of the banr in payment of debts due it previous to the forfeitore of tos ciar. ter. The plaintiffs to this rn!e contend that the bank met receive its own obligations in payment e o the debtors of the bank in enabling them to pay off their debts at thirty or forTi cents on the dollar. The d'cisin Of the court upon this role will be looked for with interest by the deotors of the bank. Ssaraun Disr-it-r Corwr.--Judge collens yes terday r,,2dered a judgment in favor of J. B.

The Water au.'p:v and ater Labtes and so little seems to be known by the public gen erally, as to the merits of tnequestion,that a plain statement of I ces ael tigered drawn frolt ~(:.al r, cords, will best enable us to arrive at a just and fair conclusion. In the month of July last, thei present city gov ernmentfoinrd iltelf, by the operatio:r of law and the act of its predecessors, in full and legal pos se=sicn of the water works, constructe i by the old Comiercial Bank. The rents had been collected in advance by the cld company for the whole year, ro that the supply had to be continued at an ex pense of $7000 per month, without revenue and withcut supplies. The city at once adopted the plan, long tried and aitproved in other cities owni:r such wworki, ,'nd appointed a "board of ccmmoistronere" to take the entire charru and ad ninisorati)n. IId tihe present city goverrmant been allowed any discretion, it would certainly, in its then embar resscd inanclial cond:tion, have declined to increase the city debt by the purchase of these works, to the extert of one and a half million of dollars, bearing intereat to be met semioannually. I;ut there was no alternative and the situation was accepted. Coming into possession, the " Board of Commis sioners" promptly mnade the best arrangement possible for the economical administration of the works on a very reduced scale, until its revenues shrcnd commence, and then diligently applied themselves to the preparation of a system of ad ministration and a schedule of water rates for ahe future. Consultlg the o'fcial reports of works conducted on the same basis 5 ores-the delivery of water by the intervention of steam power they found the expense of administration in St. Louis about $10I00t, in Cincinnati about $95 000 i .... o .b,-..,au uount co per camnt. Ba D auter than Nw OUleans. But the cost of material rd labor beIng that much higher here placed us nearly on sn equality with them. After lorag sand patieant iq;ry, the board organize.I its administratin on a uaels to cost from $t,000 to $fi 000 per annm. 7Tie woraks were frund on exaiiDio in great disrepsa:r, requiring t'lvy e.prndi'-mre, an the old cotrpany, exp ting to, sell, hl for several years dore little more th.n deliver the current antply of water. The annual sot of this i're:n was placed st the low figure of $20.o0O, with tIhe intention of limiting the expenditurei to the smalleet possible stIuUnt consitent, with the effi ci: ncy of tse wcrks. The interest to be pefd on the bonda issurd by tle city for the puOrhasie of the works, m.rnun iog to $75,fe0 annrally, not hlaving been otherwise provided for, had slto to be met by their iLcone. The Board of Commr.iwoi-ers thus bond It ne' asPCry to provide an annual revenue to ment the following items: Expense of admicisnriirn .... C71 -30 Prptirs, eti 2 ,Jo Interst... . 75 0) Total.. ..... - 00 This, it will be een, makes ro provision for a "einkiog fund" bor the eventcti pimrent of the bonds, which in prudence shoild os estirated at not lesS than $;1,,LO a Eoar. The total revenue lot last yar was in r.und numbers $157,;. 0. H sth these data ar-d prrliminarirs they entered upon the subject of WATER RITEIS. Enteringupon its duties the Board of tTommis sinners found no record of any established usytem of water rates. The bhooks. of the office showed the charge made against each inlivilual, and ltre officers of the old company sa ted that tYey asascred certain classus of establishments under verbal instructions, on a general besr, whibch a! lowed great latitude and dtiscretion; and that these assesmenta were liable to great change, and were frequently changed, as appeared from the records of the office, on the personal adpliso tion of the parties lntereated. This condition rendered it neceseary for the board to estkblish an entire and complete system of water rates. They had but a limited tnime in which to do this, as the period was near when the assesesments for the new year should commence. They entered upon this labor of detail, gnoded only by such lights as the reports of other and sImilar works supplied, and aided by the old o- cerm and records of the former company. It was obligatory on them to raise a certain emmoat of revense, sad the determiaed it should be done by distlbettag the barden acording to the benefit reoeived by eaeeh consumer. They iomnd at the outseet tt it would be impoebie to sceomplishb this by a schedule of rates appearulg as low as theme ia mseet othr tlies, beesem they w m requisel to raiss by ntes rates an amont of reveau ( per cent. eo the whole) to m-et Iterest a ty other oltes by a direct te, efecte bd l a dlierent oser and under a - et ame. Bat, aeverthslss, it L a water t. In Boston, New York, Cnintanatl, Bt. Loas, Louisville and other eities of the United States, the water compals are relieved from this bar den, and whn New Odlesr ts plao4 on a equality with them in this respect, It will be rtonu the rates are lower than in any place named sup plied by steam power. The records prove that New Orleans receiver from twenty-five to fifty per cent. lees revenue for the same quantity of water, than any city from which reports have been obtained. Por in-taoce. the revenue received in New Orleans for 1000 gat lons of water delivered is seven cenuts. In New York nine and one-half cents. It, J, rsey City, nine and one half cents. In Bnoton, ten and nlne-tenths cents. In Cincinnati, eleven and one quarter cents. In Louisville, eleven and one-quarter cents. In Rt. Louis, twelve cents. This result follows from the excessive quantity of water used by our people. We have long sum mere and a warm climate, and our people are luxurious and prufese in the use of water. The cor.sumstion in St. Louis, Cincinnati, and New York varies from thirty-five to fifty gallons daily per capita. Il Blluton it ts sixty gallons. In hew Orleans ninety gallons. There facts show conclusively that the amonunt astessed for water in New Orleans is n t exces sire, and is not as great as, in other cities of the country for the same service. And the results, as tar. retder it very questionable whether the reve uces under these ra:es will meet the expenditures required of the comnissioners by the oity. Ithcen couees the question--and the annoying ant this omlt Wi. n Rmel-omplaints seem to have originates in the fact that some parties see charged more than heretofore. The books of the office show this to be so, but they also show thtt instances are much greater where the charge fs reduced. Thele are the results. not of an increase ut rate, but an equalization of the rate. A hrindsome dwelling with the luxuries of bath. water closet, street washer, pantry with hot and cold water cocks, paying only $15 or $20 last year, is asessaed much higher this year; but many poor widows end laborers who paid the same price last year only pay from $R to $12 now. The large manufactory last year paying $600 used twenty times as much water as forty serit famdili who paid the same price. By the present tariff these parties are brought nearer an equality, the furmer pa)i~g more, the latter less. Thod. sauds of bills are thus reduced, of which nothe'u is heard, but the person who has heretofore re ceived his supply for less than the cost of coal used in pumping it, never fails to complain of any increase. One item which must enter into every bill, to a greater or lees extent, until tie city assumes its payment, is never considered in the ordinary did cusalon of this question. At least one-third of the whole supply of water in New Orleans is unse for public purposes: such as extligstehllg fres, cleaning streets, markets, etc., etc. This must be provided for by the commissioners until otherwise arranged by the city, and they have endeavoreds to disrribute the burden as evenly as possible, ao cording to the benefit conferred. The party whose insurance Is reduced from $100 to 8200 a year by having a supply of water at his door, pays more than the one who only benefits to the extent of $10 or $20. It will be seen the question was surrounded biy difficulties- the duties to be performed were labo rious, tedious, complicated, and thankless-for the commissioners were expected to render the service without money and without price. That they have been entirely correct in ev ry item would be an namtog infrllibility-but that the principle of their action is just. and their system of ratease low as poesible, no lair minded man, who will trouble himself to examine the records and make confed sions, will for a moment doubt. They are now engaged in attaching meters th several classesof establishments, with a view of testing their rates of charge, and with the inten tion of charging whenever found too high. This has been extensively done in other cities, and thb result has ever been to produce the very change which has ca led forth this disscoussion. The mem bers ot the press and the public will soon have au upportuuity to witness the operation of thee-s con plicated, ingenious and expenasive little teLl tales. In the meantime, it is but fair that harsh critf cism aid unjust condemnation should be ans vended plaints were being made, based on public rumor, and whea the peris aileed e their bi the found tl:em much below last year. An idea seems to have entered the public mind, too, that because the works belong to the city no charge should be made for water. The result Ia that nearly 5J per cent. less has been paid to thp present time than has been usual in formeryeare for the same period. Taos. I.
