We will publish also the general or ders of Gen. F. N. Ogden to the troops, and his ofiloial report of the military operations during those days. THI TRUE ISSUE. .In the several questions submitted to the Olty Attorney Tuesday in relation to the Sugar Shed question by the City Counneil, that body, we think, has omit ted that one which lies at the bottom of the controversy. The amount of the charges imposed by the Sugar Shed Company on sugar, and the several other points touched by the lnterroga tories of the Qounoll, are certainly not without great importance to the public; but, after all, they are of secondary Interest. The real question to be de termined, and upon which the Council must act, it sots in acordance with the will of the people and the interests of the city and State, is that one which our correspondent " Brutus," in his letter hi another column, first pro. pounds, "Did the Councill that expropri. ated the publio levee to the private use of a company, and to the exclusion of the public, have the right to do so?" The matter of charges upon sugar affects In a measure our commercial in terests, yet it may be influenced by ocom. petition or ordinary legislation. But the other question-the right of a city counolil or of a legislature to expropri ate the public property and grant ex clusitve privileges to corporatlons or in dlviduals-touches the foundations, not only of free, but of all good govern Ient, and thereby every publio and private Interest of the community. The worst and most iniquitous her. Itage Radicalism has left the people of this calty and tate are the monopolies it created in the heyday of its power, and in the support of which it has inter ested and enlisted so many of our own people. The petioy of oreating monop olies has oursed every generation and impoverished every country that has ever adopted it. This policy was at one time adopted by Elizabeth of England, sand carried out until all the interests of the kingdom were prostrated, and the people were on the very verge of a rev olution. Wecommeand to the perusal of our public servants the noble utterances of Bolilngbroke on the evils produced by this system. Referring to it, Hume in his history of Elizabeth's reign says: "It engaged the queen to erect patents for exclusive trade; an invention so per nlolous, that had she gone on during a tract of years ac her own rate, England, the seat of riches, and arts and com meree, would have contained at pres. eat as little industry as Morooocco, or the coeast of Barbary." But Elizabeth, though an imperious prineess was a wise and patriotic queen, and when the Oommnons of England pre semted to her their protest against the pernicious and oppressive system, as the people of Louisiana are now pro testing to the Legislature and the Coun .11 of New Orleans against it, she promptly and in the most graoious manner canoeled the grievous and obnoxious patents. Her wisdom recog anied the existence of the monopolies and grants of speolal privileges she had reated as oppressive to the'coun try, and her courage and patriotism prompted her to strike them down. 2!he ooncessions of Elizabeth to the de mands of her people for the abrogation of monopolie is the most glorious event in her glorious reign, and shows her to have been a wise ant great sovwreign,. Under the carpet-bag governments es tablished by the bayonet in the South, the system of monopolies was instituted here, and has done more to depress our trade and industries than all the taxa tion and thieving the scalawags and carpet-baggers were guilty of, and un less it is now destroyed, root and branch, by the Legislature and theCity Councll. this State, the natural seat of wealth, agriculture and oommeroe, will in time, in the language of Hume, contain "as little industry as Morocco, or the ooast of Barbary." Certainly the City Council of New Orleans in SfWI ought to have as clear and com e a knowledge of the evils of of England possessed in 1o03; and surely the council of a great city, in a republi can country, in this enlightened gener. ation, should have as much respect for the wishes and interests of the people who elected them as an imperious queen more than two hundred years ago entertained for those of her sub jects. The prinoliple upon which this sugar Shed Company was organised is one of the most pernicious that has ever ex isted in government; it is unrepublican ; it is unjust to the public, and it is Inim ioal to trade and industry, It is one of a brood of institutions created by spe clal grants and legislative acts against which the people have for years pro tested; which the Democratic party pro claimed a determination to destroy, and with whioh every public and private interest in the State is in antagonism. The Councll must get at the root of this question. The amount of the tariff for storage charged by the Sugar Shed Company is a question of minor and seeondary importance; the real ques tion, the vital question is: Does the sugar Shed Company exist in full ac cordance with the laws and institutions of this State and with the rights of the people; and if it does not, what is the promptest and most efficient method of abrogating its charter ? There is much more than a question of tariff on sugar and molasses involved in this contro. versy; a fundamental principle of en lightened government, or, if so-called pr.tical men prefer the phraseology, a fundamental principle touching in. dustry, commerce and the free com petition of capital is involved, and at the bottom of it. The llty Council must rise to the height of this question, and must act in accordance with that principle, and with that principle alone. FREE TRADE AND FREE MARKETS. The DSMooUAr has never urged upon the crowded centres of the North that the "only solution" of the labor trou. bles was the emigration of their surplus population. We thought we saw another and more hopeful remedy than this which was merely tantamount to advising these unemployed multitudes to flee from the evils they endure for those they wot not of. While we have shown the need of labor here in the South, and the employment our cotton fields would supply, we have insisted that more material and widespread benefits would result from the correc tion of the abuses which had caused the trouble than from any such partial and purely temporal remedy as this diver sion of unemployed labor from the cities to the mere grubbing from the ground of the necessities of life could afford. There was something humiliating to us in such advice-that political econo my, which made pretensions to a soi ence, based on the most rigid statistics, and which had engaged the intellectual enthusiasm of the first minds of the world, could in such an emergency find no better solution of troubles that have occurred to all nations than to refer the people back to the conditions of a savage and pastoral life as the only escape from starvation. Even the party creed to which we held, and whose doctrines furnished the web and woof of our political convio tions, based upon experiences which comprehended no such exigency as is now upon us, but which always sought intelligently to avoid it, forbade our ao ceptance of any such idea. The viola tion of the first principles of this creed has been the source of our woes, and we have but to return to and re-establish them to recover the prosperity that has been lost by the operation of no natural and universal law, but only by bad and unwise legislation, which has endeav ored to usurp a power which is inherent in trade and oommerce, and to supply the purely fictitious incentive of protec tion for the natural and healthy one of demand. The result of these laws has been to restrict our production to our home markets, to keep up prices here on an arbitrary basis, established not by de mand, but by the cost of production. They have raised about us a Chinese wall, which has shut us and our produc tions from the world not less effectilvely than it has shut the products of other nations from us. Their operati.on has been mutually destructive, and the sword we sharpened for our defense has proven to be two-edged. Orippled as our manufactures have been since 1873, statistics yet prove that our production of manufactured goods is largely in excess of our consuming power. In support of this statement we reproduce the following statistics from a paper by J. 8. Moore, the "Parsee Merchant," read to the Social Science Association, recently in con vention at Saratoga. In 18150 our home manufacturers produced $44 per capita. In 1860 toe production was $57 25 per capita, and in 1T70 the amount of produc tion rose to more than $111 per capita; and I have no doubt that at this moment our produc tion of manufactured goods, even if so per centum less than in 1870, is still from $75 to 8ss per capita. Now, it is well known that a coun try when prosperous has at least 25 or to per centum more consuming power than when the times are hard. Thus, it naturally follows that our power of producing manufactured goods has outgrown by some e3 or 40 per centum our power of consumption, and this immense over production has comparatively little outlet. etatistics supply us with fec s in support of this proposition. In 1860, wuen our manufacturing production, exclusive of all kinds of agricul tural produce and of the precious metals, was about s1.sooeooJ000. we exoorted g39,000.000 worth of manufactures. while in 1877, when our manu facturing production was, say at the lowest cal eulaiLon, nearly oo4.o000.o,ooo, we exported only t.oo000.000 worth of manufactures. Thus our industry is clogged, and in this fact we see the secret of all the poverty, distress and idleness in the land and the disturbances that have re sulted therefrom. Is it not strange that our statesmen cannot see the true causes of it all, or is it possible that po M1da lS oomy and ast eoraft have no remedy to afford ? Some propose an unlimited inflation of the currency, and others a monetization of silver, but they all overlook the true cause. which itself sugat ests the only remedy. There has never been a greater ple thora of money In this country than there Is at this very time. The Amerl can people have within the last few months subscribed $70,000,000 to the new 4 per cent loan, and money on call now commands as low as 1J per cent. But the trouble is that there is no confl dence, Upon this point Mr. Moore says, and very truthfully: i|tt wly tlhr Ima tr. 'ontnnltnny, n. hin1lki. ,'r n rtitallist inYV t, mattlv eit, 4 I.r neat .n itl Io AtmerirtnII, hot, anl shlrt its aaft Iight at init lot'lind Il. inlly ,i t roitale high rate of in Itatat to It wo1.1On mannillneturttr or an Irole.foinlor? hntly hlpllnlmo the rfapittitlit n i lwll by the ex rlpett'oll of the Int Ifour yl1qra Ithat tlh wool'en prtlI tlland Itirl llroulnilta eat uioloIin t tin pvaitetn: tt lint ' t radn is rotton, nlld that his tolva tillm t ll, istlit a i ro. We see but one correction for these troubles. Free markets will Insure the disposal of our surplus products. This, and this alone, can restore confidence by restoring trade, Trade is merely a barter after all, and we can expect to export our various fabrics, whose manu facture employs our people, in ex change for those of other countries. The example given by Mr. Moore of the Venezuela trade is conclusive on this subject, and we reproduce it, not withstanding Its great length, because of its peculiar value at this particular time: In 1070 w" h'lail i trnile with the ra hilili'l of VeneoUa it whichi was Its fllows: We Il-liporlttdi from that rnpublio priduts vaillued at 1,11:17,:12. all w, enorted to ithant rnpubllo prm.luden villuetl ait Si.:1i7,i.:1.

JUSTICE. A Washington correspondent of the New York Sun having made a very bitter, and in all essential respects false attack upon Major Burke, we regard the publication of Major Burke's re sponse aeslmple act of justice: To the Editor of the Sun: Sir--Eu route for New York on business with the War Department. I stopped in Washington. I paid my resprrets to too P'resldent at, the Holdlor's Home, and spent at piaasant efeonijDg there was no eonversation concerning the Re turning Board prosc'utions or Custom-Hlous. appointments during the visit. 1 know nothing of at.enlpts to sappress test I mony in thle ease of Wells and Anderson. Your corresplondent asked my opin ion as the result of the prosenlttion ill the Vernon parish avse. and I informed him that it wits rumored that the principal witnesses. being the partlis who committed the forgeries. accused New York Demoorats of having failel to keep promises and it was doubtful if they would risk their nemks in a halter to serve others. I expressed the opinion that at failure to so cure this testimony wouldl be fatal to the pr ose cutlon. Your correspondent intimated to me that Je.wett and others would testify if not, bouaht over lby Custom-HouIse appointntnt's, which was the first and only knowledge I had upon the subject. My visit hadl no other significance, and your correspondent was so informeld. E. A. BURKE. To the Edlitor of the bun: Sir-Major E. A. Burke, of New Orleans, noever was It Republican, never hlld oftlen under \VWar moth,. and was never connec'ted with the plun derers of Louisiana. In 1872 Major Burke was the candidate of the ])emocratia party for the most important position in NewOrleans,and was the most active memnber of the McEnery Cam paign Committee. In 1874 he was elected Ad ministrator of Improvements of New Orleans. a position combining the duties of the New York B~ard of Public Works, and served until Do comber. 1.76. The Radical administration of this offiee aost the city in 1870 to 1872 over th roe millions; in 17:3-74over two millions, and in 1875 and 1876.under Burke the expenditures were but seven hundred and twenty thousand dollars, he showing more work done than his predeces sors. I was AssistantCity Surveyor and know there facts. Major Burke was chairman of the Registra tion and Election Committee of the Democratle and Conservative party in the last campaign. and conducted the details of the entire State election, and has spent more in time, mopey and tireless energy to redeem Louisiana t an any other man in the State, and your corre spondent's charge will be read with regret by your readers in Louisiana,. where he has a high aput toa oar integrity aand apacity, I know that hlls visit It WInhltlntoin wea fr the pur Lpe" ' v rvaillln l on the Mcetlary of Wnr to rerullldl I'one's e o R I IIIy d t aI FItn i rll.l woerk which liadl hilok'n l n Iut Now (rlelllas out tof ,t laIrt' treade.

I)rellnwink Flotlel, New York, 4.eit. 4, ]A77 London advices to the New York pa pers indicate a feverish uneasiness with reference to a rumored coalition be tween (Germany and Italy for the pur pose of checking the Ultramontane in fluence in France, Eld its early de velopment as a disturbing element in European polities. It is even appre hended that war will be brought about, and the statement is made that Immense preparations of a warlike nature are going on in Italy. In Its light with the Roman Catholics, Germany can not, it is assumed, permit the establishment of an Ultramontane power in France, and will prefer to find some excuse for an at tack on the Republic. The mutual hos tility of Italy and Germany to the Papal power, it is alleged, has drawn them into a secret alliance, offensive and defen sive. These rumors have all been heard before, but neither Germany nor Italy is likely to hazard war In a mad effort to hold France responsible for a mere sym pathy, ho/rover strong or aggressive, so long as she commits no overt acts to provoke it. The news from the East is meagre and contradictory, and, as usual, merely in dicates that something fearful will ocour-in a few days. As usual also, the Russians have the best of it in antici pation and asseveration, and promise a " Turkish Bedan" before Plevna. We shall wait to see this before we believe it. Mehemet All's recent movements have been pronounced " masterly" by a a Russian critic, and he now Is forcing measureS on the Russian flank, at the head of an army flushed and encouraged with recent victory. Besides, I'levna appears to be too strongly fortified to be captured by assault, and if it prove true that it can be reduced, if at all, only by a prolonged siege, it will necessitate an entire change of Russian tactics, and this delay must be of most vital conse quence at this late season, with the frosts of the Balkans already beginning to be eager and nipping. An exchange suggests that "perhaps the President beguiles Key from Wash ington in order to give Tyner, first as slstant, a better swing at the appoint ments, contracts and things."
