THE UMBURIED DEAD. l

On Sunday afternoon information
 was sent 0 the Mayor that numerous dead bodies were lying on the ground
 in the Lafayette Cemetery, unburied,
 for the want of force 10 perform the work of supulture. The Chairman
 of the Committee on Cemeteries, Mir. Kurshedt, appointed by the Board oi
 Health, repaired to the spot about
 dark. Near there he found the "chain gang" which had been employed from early in the afternoon in the work of burial, coming away, having been

 ies He prevailed on them, by pro-
 misses ot extra pay and supper. to
 20 back and resume the work. On
 arriving at the Cemetery, he found
 seventy-one bodies laying piled on
 the ground, swollen and bursting their
 cofins, and enveIoped in swarms of flies. The chain gang was set to
 work burying them, and by haIf-pas,
 three o'clock yesterday they were all
 in1ered. Orders were given, we have
 been informed, by the competent au-
 thority, that no more bodies should
 be sent to that Cemetery yesterday.
 One cause ot the pressure on this
 Cemetery was, as we have been in-
 formed, the impossible state of Louisa street, leading to the burying ground of St. Vincent de Paul. where there are sixty graves dug and left unem- ployed in consequence of the difficult ty of getting 10 them. It is also re- ported that the reason why burial could not be procured in the Lafay- cite Cemetery, was because the Sex lon refused 10 pay more than 20 centsI each for digging the graves. This official gets dollar from the Copora- ton for each body buried, and if from a niggard motive he failed 10 haveE the graves dug. to meet the requre- ments of the times. he deserves theI most Unreserved censUre of the com

 This was the state of things when several persons in the neighborhood, l inhaing the rank effluvia, informed the Mayor of the fact, who imme- diately took active measures for hay ing the graves covered with eigh- teen inches of additional earth. Or l ders have also been issued 10 the Street Commissioners to send bodies 10 Potter's Field, or to St. Vincent le Paul, and the gates of the La :ayette Cemetery No. ? have been closed for the present, except to bodies coming from the Fourth Dis trict.
 The Mayor, we understand, has taken the responsibility of applyingl remedies to meet the exigencies of the times.

FALSELY PACKED CoTTox.-We We would earnestly call the attention of Planters and Ginners 10 the card in to-day's paper. relative 10 cotton packing. Of late years considerable loss has fallen upon cotton factors here, in damages accruing upon bales ot cotton sold by them, which in the
 hands of the manufacturer, were as certaned to be packed-that is, to contain cotton of different and inferi- or qualities, totally unlike the out slde from which samples for selling are taken. This is greivous wrong and should not be perpetrated. It not only operates injnriously upon
 the interests of the factor, but also senouslv reflects upon the honesty Oi the Planter or his ginner. besides causing Nashville cottons of all quail tues to be suspected. We hope that all who are interested will see that the remedy is applied. The planter owes 1t to his reputation to correct 'he evll-and hereafter the factor ought to hold the guilty to public Scorn!

MEssRs. EDITORS:


 A few months since, through the medium of your paper, l attempted to direct the attention of the citizens of Helena to the necessi- ty of organizing and maintaining an efficient Fire Company, and even at the risk of being considered imperti- nent, will again make the same at- tempt.
 In my former communication as- signed, among other reasons, why the Fire Company was not fourishing as it should, that many of our mem bers were what might be called "ga- L0 day" members, who would be per- tectIy willing 10 do all the work if ii consisted in dressing up and idly loun- ging about the streets; but this cause has ceased to operate, for the compa- ny has virtually ceased to exist.- True, it exists in name, but as far as active, efficient operations, are con- cerned, it is defunct, ard no mistake Why is this so? is question that may well demand attention.
 The company was formed mostly of young men who have but little e- ther to lose or gain, while those who have large interests at stake, who would be most injured in case of a fire, and most benefited by well or ganiZed company, have almost entire " failed 10 manifest any interest in the enterprise.
 And there never can be perma- nently organized company, until the older and more influential citizens of our town, put their shoulders to the wheel, and manifest at least a passing interest in the concern.
 Can the property holders of Hele- na, who have large interest at stake, expect to sit idly by, while those who have little or no property to lose, per- form all the labor, without even en- couragement from those who should not only encourage, but assist! They surely cannot; and in all reason and conscience must have anticipated just such state of affairs, as has trans pired.
 l have made these few suggestions in order to arouse the citizens of Hell ena 10 a sense of their interest and duty, and if succeed, l will consider myself amply repaid. even though at the expense of being called officious; and if I fail, l am satisfied, for 1 have but little to lose.

NIAGARA FAILS Those who glance, as we have recently done, (says the Buffalo Express of the 23d inst, ) at the pharaphernalia of the late tragedy at this place, will not fail to be wfully impressed with its horror. Distance softens what is terrible in this case as in others. That solitary log where the boat still clings; the raft floating near; the island which the victim so earnest ly sought to gain, and was defeated; the immediate scene of his dreadful end-all these are eloquent with mel ancholy and sorrow. The circumstance of death never seemed so wild and thrilling to us as here. Many die of the same disease, by virtue of the same casualty, but Avery's death was one of kind, the alpha and we hope the ome- ga of a manner.
 It is a singular coincidence that just one year ago, to day, from the time of Avery's sufferings and sad fate, a man was rescued from the rapids on the other side of Goat Island. God only knows whether such scenes are to be annual, but, if prayers do not come to naught, the last has ended.

But if the ''cap fits him he can wear it, " if it

exclusively, in replying to different articles

shall say nothing about.
The first one we shall notice, is an article
headed the, estate Tax Again" Our read
ers will remember that our paper of the
18th inst, we stated that the article in the
Republican EMIT ed the Late Tax was not
correct. He stated that the levy for State
purposes exclusive of the, school tax, was a
half mill higher than il was last year
This we knew was not correct, and SO stated
the week following. Last week be sac

mis-. statement in the following manner,
1.-TWO weeks ago we stated that the levy
for State purposes, excluding the school
tax, was half mill higher this year than
last. This was anerror,and we were led in
to it unintentionaily, nd doubt, by those we
supposed to be correctly informed upon the
subject" "

assembled will use all their influence to

TO the NJ ane Liquor Law.

i legislature, by which that body being too
'rleeply imbued with the spirit Of alcohol to
Legislate against it, has unconstitudonally
transferred its legislative authority TO the
Township Trustees.
ResoiOed, That no temperance man can
consistently support Legislator who will
not aid by his utmost efforts the enactment
of a law to suppress the manufacture and
use of ardent spirits, as drink.
ResoiUed, That whilst we have no desire
to form an other Political party we shall new
ertheless deem the Suppression ofintoXlcating
