UaThe Iberville Sentinel, of the alst nit.
asks if the citizens of that place would do
nothing towards aiding the sufferers by yellow
fever in this city.'--Picayune.
The Picayune is in error. We never made
any such remark--nor was there any occasion
for such. Indeed, our parish was the first one
in the State where a contribution was raised
for the New Orleans sufferers, assuggested by
this paper. The Ladies' as well as the gentle.
men, were active in this work of charity--and
the success of their efforts were published in
the New Orleans papers. And lately, several
citizens of the parish at Last Island, contribu-
ted fifty and one hundred dollars each towards
the object for which the above paragraph says
no move has yet been taken in the parish. Do
us justice, MIR. Pic.

Administration Organ in New York.-The
New York Courier, a paper which does not
state facts without being we'll assured of their
correctness, asserts that the negotiations for the
establishment of an Administration morning
paper in that city, have resulted in raising a
fund said to amount to 100000 for that pur-
pose, and the engagement of JOHNNY. Forney,
now Clerk Of the House, to edit the same. The
Courier further says:
1t isa fact that the Administration has not
at this time any Journal in this stronghold of
its party advocating its opinions and supports
ing its policy. The so.called Democratic Jour-
nails are intently engaged in reviving the slave
ny controversy which Gen. Pierce has numer-
Gus reasons for suppressing, or in personal
feudsa which he is equally anxious to smother.
Mr.. Forney's paper will represent the Admin
istration, and support democratic principles"
as understood at Washington, and intended to
be enforced in this State. 1t is supposed that
one reason for detaching Mr.. Forney upon this
service is determination 10 cast the influence
of the Government in favor of a candidate for
the speakership from the Northwest, probably
Mr.. David T. Disney, Of Ohio, which involves
the necessity OF holding the clerkship in reserve
for some Southern Democrat"

improvement in CalJornia.--Amongst the
late news from California we find the follow
ing highly encouraging items in a San Francis
co letter to the Journal of Commerce. The
letter bears date on the 1st ult: sour city has
become a city of churches, and the Sabbath day
is regarded almost universally as, a day of rest.
Society is blessed with the presence Of wo-
men, who are now focking to oursshores in
vast numbers, bringing the children of the
East to bless and cheer the sterner sex. GamJ.
ling is fast dyingof. Houses that one year ago
would have rented for $4,000 to $4,000 per
month for gambling purposes are now offered
for business marts at $1,000 to 1900 per month.
On Long wharf, where one year ago there
were over Q dozen gambling houses, there is
now but one in operation. The same may be
said of other prominent localities. It seems
now to be the grand aim and strife of this peo-
pie to do good, to contribute largely and free
Iy of their wealth for the upbuilding of the
Redeemer's kingdom in the land. May God
hasten it in His own good time and way"

BAYOU Sara and 81. FrancisriAe.--We learn,
says the Picayune, that the yellow fever is
prevailing to a great extent in The above-named
towns, being much worse at this time than it
was in 1889, when it visited those two places.
A committee has lately been formed Of citizens
of the above places and called the Relief Asso-
citation, their object being TO nurse and succor
the INDECENT patients. The above committee
have sent to this city inviting Dr.. McKelyey,
who formerly resided in st. Faancisville, to
come to their relief, offering him the most H.
beral compensation for his medical services
Dr.. McKelvey left this city last evening for
Bayou Sara, with the intention ofsremainlng
there during the prevalence ofthe epidemic, in
order to succor his old friends.

Defence Of M. ErWin.-On our first page
will be found the commencement of an article
entitled THE Sherifalty," directed "to the edi-
tor of the LberrM Gazette" and defending the
course of Mr.. J. H. ERWIN as an independent
candidate for that office and for the informa-
ton of those who place great importance to
the truth of its emanation, whether from a De.
moerat or q Wing, we can state, if it will af.
ford any qualification, that it is from the for
mer, a gentleman Of high and consistent cha
racter.
We have no doubt that the people have be-
come heartily sick of this subjectA-and dis.
gusted at seeing the attempt so repeatedly per,
sisted in, to crush one of the first principles of
