Excitement in New Oieans.. POis Oning by
Slaves.


The New Orlerns Delta of 23d gives
the details of a poisoning affair in that
city, "by which, says the Delta, "the city
was never more thoroughly shocked. -
A party consisting Of a dozen persons
were assembled at a convivial entertain
ment at the house Of a Mr. Lcm'ey in
the French District. Among the dish
cs brought upon the table was one of
"Challotte Russo" ofwhich they all par.
took some of the ladies taking a small
quantity home to their children. All
who tasted of this jelly, including the
children, were taken i'll with the symp.
toms of poisoning by arsenic Suspicion
was fixed upon slave woman Ann in the
house of Mr. Lemley, who had assisted
Mrs. l.. in making the jelly, Miss Isa.
bel Mckee, one of the sufferers, being
visited, said: "About month since l
went to Mr.. Lemley's to see Mrs. Lem
ley, but she was not at home. then
went into tie kitchen to see Louisa Lem
ley, aud saw Ann, the cook. While
there, Ann said 10 me, "sce this mark
on my face; Mrs.. Lemicy struck me pih
a conhide, and they hare my son IN
traders ynrd; and she miW repent tho
doy when she did this" One of the
children who purto"k of the Charlotte
Russo has since died The Delta gives
the following as the con dltion Of the suf-
ferers: "Nr. and Mrs. Lemley believed
to be out of danger their two dsugh-
.ers still dangerously i'll, and one not ex-
pected to live. Mrs. Young and her
daughter nd Miss Hall still quite sick.
Mrs. Mckee and her two dau yhters all
very sick; tie recovery of the girls being
doubtful Mrs. Phelps still very sick
and in doubtful condition her son
Henry and Miss Bouligny in the same
sad state: Miss Searles getting we'll and
Mr. Lemleys servants getting well"-

Gen. Henningsen has written letter to Capt.
Farnham, the arrested commander Of the SLAYER
Wanderer, in which he takes sensible view Of the
reopenng of the slave-trade by private enterprise
We quote:

that the only Justification for holding negro In tins south Tor

How the whites would be thereby Affected the

This is far more to the point than the fummery
on the subject in Mr.. Buchanan's recent Message
As matter of principle, if Slavery is right and
beneficial there is no valid reason why it's blessings
should not be more generally diffused, and the i'm
portation Of negroes from Africa is not only bene-
fetal, but meritorious, as Gen. Henningsen says.
Only, as the law passed under the influence OF the
far atica Abolitionst ideas which prevailed half
century ago, declares the trade to be piracy, Its
prosecution, until that law shall be repealed, Is
subject TO some inconvenience.

"THE TRIBUNE Ct the Democratic and other members
Of Congress voting shsrmsnhe only Republican II
seems ct for Speaker"
How any man can talk in this reckless way,
we cannot imagine. We have found no fault with
Democrats for not voting for Sherman, though We
think those who sought and were elected by Repub-
lcan votes ought to vote so as to promote, not OBJ
struct, an organization. But no matter how they
may see ft to vote for Speaker, we urge that all
should unite in passing the Plurality rule and thus
elect somebody forthwith. If more votes can be
concentrated on any other man than are given to
Sherman, LET that other be Speaker. We have never
limited that Mr.. Sherman sis the only Republican
+" fit for Speaker" He Is that Republican whom .
majority Of his party have freely chosen az their
candidate; and, 80 long as they are suited with
him, who shall interpose between them and their
choice ii he Ia unfit or unpopular, so much the
better is the chance to elect some competitor under
the Plurality rule. We do not object to his adver-
saries voting for their own man, whoever he may
be; why should they seek to dictate to Eepubli.

demned in the utterances of the SAVIOR; ana tnas

At the same time, with an amusing inconsistency,
The Express opposes the African save-trade, though
the New Testament has not word Of condemns

THE NATIONAL FINANCES.

When the present Federal Administration came
into power, on the 9TH of March, 1857, the Public
Debt of all sorts excepting annuites to Indian
tribes, was little over Twenty-Five Millions, while
the cash in the Treasury little short Of Twenty
Millions. We cannot put our hands on the exact
figures, but the last Treasury Report OF Mr.. Guth-
rie-Dec. /, 1856-states that the funded debt had
been reduced under Gen. Pierce's Administration,
from S69, 129, 937 on the 4th Of March, 1853, to
$50, 1868, 909 on the 18th of November, 1856. The
sum of $40, GIG, 027 had been paid on the principal
of that debt during Gen. Pierce's Administration,
beside "a, 6O9, se2 as premiums on stocks surren-
dered and Cancelled before maturity. The balance
in the Treasury on the 30th of June, 1856, was
Sl9,90l, 1876, and Mr.. Guthrie estimated that it
would be increased to $22, ,222 on the Both Of
June, 81. When Messrs. Buchanan and Cobb ac-
ceded TO the White House and Treasury respective
y, their predecessors had paid of more than Forty
Millions Of debt during their four years term, aud
left considerably less than Ten Millions of Debt
(other than Indian annuities) over and above the
cash in the Treasury.
MIR. Cobb now reports permanent public debt OF
$45, is, 977, and temporary public debt Tin tho
shape Of Treasury Notes) of a triae under
$40, OOO,O 900: together sobs $65,OOO,O0O. In
other'words, the Government has run behindhand,
during Mr.. Duchanan's scant three years, over
Fuhy Millions Of Dollars, For the existing balance
in the Treasury is notoriously small and there are
large sums due to contractors, especially for Mail
service, which will sweep it awayso soon as Post
Office Appropriation and Deficiency bill can be
passed.
The temporary nature Of Mr.. Cobbs shinplastcr
debt is deusion. 1t has onoe already been re-
newed, and Mr. Cobb recommends further re-

The false packing and sanding Of cotton BY the
planters having seriously affected the demand TOR
this American staple at Liverpool and Manchester,
the Chamber of Commerce Of this City have taken
hold of the matter. The Committee charged with
the consideration of the subject 6ud that frauds OF
this nature are but quite recent in their origin and
are traceable to the short crops of 1878, which
caused cotton of any quality to be eagerly sought
for The remedy recommended is, for factors
to n qure the planters for whom they act as agents,
to mark the inside of their bales with their names
and residences and also to place three cards similarly
marked in different parts of the bale.

to elucidate the recent unfortunate payment OF
$35, 900 from the City Treasury to McSpedon q
Baker. We cannot print this letter, because it
throws no light whatever on the subject; but if Mr.
Whiting will state the facts in the as he under
stands them, or simply indicate any point or points
wherein our paragraph of Monday did him injustice,
we shall very gladly print that. He ought to know
that we have no possible interest in the matter but
that of public justice, and that if we have been
misipformed on any point we are quite as anxious
to be set Alright as he is that we shall be.
