They HAVE coME!-The ship Republic al
rived at New Orleans, on the 1st inst, with
cargo Of IS paupers, said to have been trans
ported IT, this country by the authorities O
MechIingen, in Hesse- Cassel, one of the petty
states of the German confederation. They
were put ashore in an utterly destitute cordi
ton, without food and without a cent to buy it,
and, therefore, the citizens of New Orleans
must either support them Or let them starve.
The arrival of a few additional cargoes Of the
same description would make it absolutely ne
cessary tor the authorities to levy a special tax
on the proparty-holders for the purpose Of feed
ing that class of immigrants. The cargo of the
Republc has, however, arrived most opportune
for political aspirants, and will undoubtedly be
converted into voters and cast their ballots at
the election in November.
NEGROES FALL1NG-The Montgomery (Ala,)
Mail, of the Goth ult, says that, Mr.. Lee sold
at auction, this morning, a likely negro girl, Isl
years OF age, a pretty fair seamstress, parted
with for no fault, for $50, payable 1st Jan
uar.y, 1886. Other girls and women sold at
the same sale, on a like credit, brought prices
proportlonately low. A likely man, about 80
years old, warranted in every respect, brought
only 1851 cash. The sale of the remainder of
he negroes was postponed on account of the
hin attendance Of buyers and dullness Of the
market. Verify, the money must all have
yiven out.
MI. Dodge, the new minister to Spain, it is
tated IN the Washington papers, has made an
Tier OF $4,000 per annum, out of his salary. to
~rofessor Alexander Dimitry, Of New Orleans. {
he will accompany him to Madrid, as his Sc |
rotary Of legation. Of course, it is expected s
nat the secretary viii be the minister, and ex- G
Dodge receive the honors.- A sensible a
dodge that. MI. Dimitry would make an fl
bic attache to any legation, and that to Spain c
Dove all others is suited to his habits and dis o
osltlon. He possesses talent of a high order, Il
a rare scholar, and if he was endowed with ft
ability and perseverance, would be cIassed P
