WHO PUOCURED THE RECENT INDICTMENTS, Sgectal Dispatch (o The Tridune. Warninatox, D, C., July 0.—The indictment of the members of the Lonieians Returning Board atill continues (o be the chict tople of discussion at the Capital. Glendy Burke, of New Orleans, who was appointed Mayor of that city by Gen. Canby during bils command there, and who i now retired from business, In in Washington, Although not an active politiclan, he has since the War been identiGed with the Conaervative party, Laving been 8 Whig before, ond, from his intimate knowledge of the people of New Utleans and of the State of Louistana, |s well qualifed to express an opinlon of tho recent procecdings In that State, Iie aays that the Indictinent of Wells and Anderson har been bronght about by tha Bourbon wing of the Demoeracy, and that the Conservatives cone slder it AN INPRACTION OF GOOD PAITH, for which the Admialstration has just cause to complaln. Whilo no formal agrcement was or could have been enterod into between Gov. Nich- olls and the Freeident's Commission that thero should be no prosccution for past political offenacs, It was fully understood that no euch mat- ters would be revived, and that the Republleans who had leen governing tho State since the War shonld be allowed immunity for sny- thing of o poiltical nature which they Lad done. Thia, of course, didn't facludo an uniderstanding that men gulity of defranding the Gbvetnment or the people of this State shouldn't be prosecuted, or thatan sttempt shonld be made to recover moneys which had been stolen; bat it did cover sach cases ne that of Wells and Ander- son.. Burke Is very posltive in the bellef thatal- though Wellsand Anderson may be convicted on tholr tris), Gov. Nichoils will Lave the caurage to prevent them from BEING PUNISIIED, He says that such proceedings as these will only hanten the division In the Democratic party in Loulsiana, signs of which have already begun to be visible, and that when the con- test actually comes botweon the Conscrratives and the Bourbona ho has n¢ doubt that tho former will triumph, and will obtain and hold the political control of the State. Burke, who s very famillar with the business Intercsts of New Orleanr, reports & very great improvement in that clty eince tho withdrawalof the troops and tho res- toration of peuce In the State. He gives severs) exnmples to prove o RETURN OF CONFIDENCE AND PROSPERITY, and among others tnenttons the recent sale of real property in New Orleans belonging to the Morvan catate. In every case Lie says the prices were very atlefactory, and considerably higher than conld have DLeen obtatned fur them o year or two ago. Besldes this he reports crop prospecta throughont the State as exceedingly cncoursging, ‘The mugar crops promises to be better even than that of Jast year, and the cottoucrop fo the northern part of the State is unugually good. 1f the State can be sllow- «d ascason of political quiet, Burke Is of tho opinlion that the lmprovement 1n the fnancial con- dition of the peopie within the next year or sowiil ba very grest.

NEW YORK CANALS. Conference Yesterday of People Eminenily Interested in Thelr Management.

Thcre was s long discusalon In which the maintenance of low tols. & matter interesting to West cnd East allke, was o insisted upon. Mr. Dorsheimer sald the most scrious difficalty waa the constitational requirc- ment that expenditares on the canals shonld not excecd In one yesr their grons receipts for the previons year. If, with low tolls, this year, a de- ficlency should arise the next, the canals woald be virtually closed. This provislun of the Constita- tion, he thought, had been conceved In boatllity to Lhe ocommerclal interest, to the city, to the State. e gave it ma conviction that tho movement far reducing tolls must go sleadily onward as the only moae to continue and {ncrease the baainess of the State.
