RIOBMOND AND NEW ORLEAN8. The city of Richmond, Va., has doubled her population since the war. After the war she WNs & mass of ruins, and her population was eo#posed chietly of bankrupts and paupers. ,gajkrupts and paupers made so by the war, by the self-sacrifice and devotion of her noble people to the Lost Cause. In twelve or fifteen years she emerges from this desperate condi "an into a thriving commercial city, with a population of seventy-live thousand, with three hundred and thirty-one factories of all arta, turning out every product of art, from a luoier match to a steam engine. The sales of her factories In 1876 reached the sum of U.-f-148_,800. Her wheat and corn mills pro -uced $2,857,000, her forty-one tobacco facto AIg $12,088,300, her iron works $2,032,780; and the bonds of the corporation of Richmond are To accomplish these marvelous results, l-..ahmond has encountered those two great i~dtales, so much dwelt on in this city as '18 prinoipal difficulties to the increase and 4ylopment of Now Orleans, to wit: a ;ientable lack of capital, an oppressive atei debt, and consequent burdensome taxa 10m and several years of carpet-bag adminis tgation of the State government. The population of Richmond, too, is more a-rgely Southern than that of New Orleans. It Is a common but unjust reproach of our Southern born people, that they are deflicient 'n enterprise, energy and industry. Let the progress of Richmond and Atlanta turing the last twelve years furnish the re futations of this slander. Their rapid ad eancement against like obstacles and from lte same condition of ruin and devastation y our own, is due to the vigor and zeal with Which they have maintained their great arti Sidal agencies to transport produce from the interior, and by their factories convert the game into forms for exportation which quad ruple the value of these raw products in the -la4etls of the world. T&tus the tobacco product of the whole 0ate, which in its crude state does not reach te amount of eight millions of dollars and OC a fraction of which is sent to Richmond, c~-v her forty-one factories converted into a .tituaotured artiole of the value of $12,038, ' I the production of this new form of I_ staple thousands of laborers are em played. N: Now, supposing that even a fraction of our : iety millions of dollars of cotton were anlmipulated and converted Into the now 1t'ms of yarns, or coarse cloths, tripling or .ladrupling the value of the raw material, the 04wealth and population of New Orleans would ,hbe necessarily correspondingly increased. Whereas the melancholy fact stares us in itheo face, that the hitherto valueless seed Sthe cotton supplies the material for our iy thriving manufacture, whilst the lint, hlays the most valuable of our agricultural oacts, is sent here to be forwarded else ubere to be manufactured into the simplest Slams of manufacture, thereby supporting :.lae populations in distant countries, and employment here, for the purpose of Kseslving and forwarding it, to a population ýgmly about equal to that of some of the thriv Svillages of the West. This, too, in a city we have the high testimony of the president of the Central Illinois Railroad Sasserting there is more idle and cheap abor and where the expenses of subsistence we er than in St. Louis, Chicago or Lou Here then we have the conspicuous facts main causes of the non-progress of New 'selans. We think we can safely assert that h the factorage system of Richmond tobacoo receipts of four or five millions IVe employment to and subsist a larger pop = latn than can be supported by the handling ninety millions of dollars of cotton. The me Is even more strikingly true of the hog of Chicago. Estimating her three of hogs to be of the value of twenty of dollars, and considering the innu le processes through which this product passed, for exportation in the various of lard, pickled pork, bacon, oil, can brushes, glue, etc., we think it perfectly . affirm that profitable employment is in the manipulating of these twenty one of dollars of hogs for four or five the number of our population who re employment or subsistence from the million and a half ot bales of received in our port. Now, in view of these facts and examples. 'l what reason do we complain of our sta ,onary condition, when we stubbornly per A{st in a course of direction and application our vast natural advantages, which must far us from the methods and agencies ;rough which alone great cities can be built and march to prosperity and increase. Without railroads into the interior to bring t$he vast products of the country adjacent and .aviting us to come for the same, and without i~halities to convert these raw products into more valuable and cheaply exportable forms, CJ confess our great anxiety and apprehen alzn whether New Orleans has yet entered upon the path which she must tread ever to reah the great destiny which a kind Prov has marked out for her. article we reproduce from the St. Louis De this morning with reference defines the plan suggested by the Engineers and Capt. Eads' e to correct the Chaneli of the Misasstppi, lift, as it wea;t h 'whole abl vial buain and open up ooMfa Mavigatiof to the very interior of the oountry. We are warranted in saying that this paper contains an accurate statement of the plan of Capt. Ends for the improvement of the Missiselppi and the protection of its lowlands. He expressly disclaims any system of cut-offs as was al leged in the very forcible letter of Mr. S. W. Nicol in the iPirayune yesterday morning. We are very distrustful of this magnificent scheme. Indeed, it seems to us more like a splendid epic poem in engineering than a practical means of reclaiming the lowlands of the Mississippi. We print it, therefore, not because we believe in it, but because it touches a great interest of our people, and because, whether practical or not, It is ad vanced and supported by a gentleman whose past achievements in engineering command respect and consideration for anything he may suggest. That this scheme will have a strong sup port in Congress we are very certain. But the people of that portion of the Mississippi Valley whoso interests are largest in the levee system will never acquiesce in it until it is forced upon them and made a success. The Picayulu yesterday morning pro nounced itself in favor of a constitutional convention on the single ground that the present constitution of the State is, in the true sense of the word, no constitution at all. The call for the convention which framed it was a military order, a process of calling a conven tion foreign to our theory of government; the men who framed it were not in reality citi zens of Louisiana, and the mass of the people most deeply interested were excluded from voting on its ratifloation. Upon these grounds our contemporary considers that we have no constitution. This is precisely the view of the case the DMFIoc'AT has taken in several articles quite recently, both of which have been extensively reproduced throughout the State. The Pica yune has got the right sow by the ear this time, and we hope it will hold on. There are a great number of other reasons for a constitutional convention, most of which have been fully and clearly discussed by our country contemporaries and by correspond ents of this paper, especially by Mr. Lewis, of St. Landry, and all of which may be embraced for the present in the general statement that under the existing constitution those sweeping reforms necessary to enable us to conduct the State government economically cannot be made. The Criminal Sheriff and the Recorder of the First Police Court are resolved not to "get left." The Sheriff, who holds one of the most lucrative offices in the city, has taken the most arbitrary of legal steps to force the impecunious city to " come down," and the Recorder has taken the law in his own hands and appropriates the fees and revenues of his court to the payment of himself and officials. If the police and the fire departments-two of the most important and poorest paid depart ments of the city government-should follow the example of the Criminal Sheriff and Re corder, the city would be placed in a most de plorable condition. The Criminal Sheriff, of all the public offi cials, should be disposed to deal leniently with the city. That official, if the state ment which comes to us from the City Hall be correct, has already received during the present year fees to the amount of $80,000, while act thirty-five of the extra session, we believe, prescribes that he shall receive a very liberal interest on his bills for keeping prisoners when payment in cash is delayed over thirty days. The President of the Cotton Exchange yes terday received the following telegram from our indefatigable representative, Hon. E. John Ellis: Wm. 0. Black Esq., President New Orleans Cotton Exchange: I am glad to state that Secretary McCreary to-day orders Major Bonyaurd, of the engi neer corps, to remove the raft In Red river, and to keep the river open. Benyaurd tele graphs he has the means, and that it will re quire two weeks to accomplish the work, which he will proceed at once to do. E. JOHN ELLIS. The managers of St. Patrick's Hall yester day promptly prohibited a repetition of the can-can in that building, and the perform ance there last evening, we are glad to say, was characterized by no grossness. The action of the managers of the hall was, of course, what everybody anticipated from these gentlemen. The New Orleans Times is in favor of in creasing the army. Packard, Kellogg and Radicals generally favor the same thing. [Baton Rouge Advocate. DIED. BRIOU--On Friday afternoon, November 9, 1877, at half-past 5 o'clock.
