The New CONTROLLER INSTALLED
Quite an excitement was raised says
Mondays Times, 10 front Of the Con
troller's Office, the banquette and
streets being filed with people anx-
ious to know what was going on. 1t
appears that the newly appointed Con-
t'oller, Mr.. Mandel, appeared this
morning to enter upon the duties OF
his office, and announced that fact to
Mr.. NOLAN, the old Controller The
latter promptly declined to vacate,
unless the claim was backed by mill
tary force. Whereupon Mr.. Mandel
went to headquarters and reported the
fact. In a short time Col. Forsyth
made bis appearance in the Controllers
office, accompanied by a corporal and
two privates, and asked Mr.. NOLAN
if be would yield. The latter gave in
to the military force, and bayonets
triumpbed.
When we left the City Hall the
crowd had dispersed, and Messrs.
NOLAN and MandeI seemed to be on
the best Of terms.

will not be much longer delayed.
On Saturday last he telegraphed to
Gen. Griffen to come to New Orleans /;
yesterday the order relieving him

Reg The Brandon Republican says
JEFF. Thompson has got tired of sell
ing whisky, and turned his attention
to politics. Like LoDgstreet, he thinks
the niger party the strongest. He
Is good hearted fellow, tells head
OF "whoppn" yarns. about fighting, is
always the hero Of his own stories,
writes poetry about his whisky, and
imagines himself great man. If
we could buy him for what we think
he is worth and sell him for his own
estimated value, we would make
money enough to build railroad to

sas~ We notice on Sunday what
has long been unfamiliar to our ewes
double funeral. There were two
hearses and but one procession. The
leading hearse was drawn by two
black horses, with jet black plumes
that nodded with the motion of the
vehicle. The other followed close be.
hind, with white horses and white
plumes. Slowly the procession wound
its way through the narrow and
crooked streets toward one of the al.
ready densely populated cities Of the
dead in the French portionof the city.

YELLOW FEVER IN PENSACOLA.
A friend just from Pensacola informs
us that the mortality from yellow
fever is rather increasing, the deaths
averaging some three or four per
day, while numbers are sick. Hun
dreds have fled from the city, camp
ing in the woods or residing with
friends in the country. The popula-
ton has been reduced to about twelve
hundred souls. We have not heard
of the death of any of the old citi-
zens, the disease seeming to. confne
itself to recent arrivals and transient
visitors.-N. O. Times, Sd inst.

niIsgoverncd Ireland.

Mr.. Gladstone, the great English Liberal,
and leader of the Hoase of Commons, mn
der Lord John Russels ministry made sig
nificant speech at Wernett, in Cheshire,
(EnglandD Thursday. Addressing the miners
and operatives who formed his audience, he
told them plainly that the Fenian movement
was made possible by England's folly. 1t
existed because Ireland was so wretchcdly
misgoverned.
These are truths, patent to everybody,
except the Tories who hold in the clutch
of their old fingers the management Of Brit
ish politics. They are not confined 10 what
is called the Tory party, but exist in all.
They have administered Irish affairs as they
did those in America, till our Revolution.
They are directly responsible for all the
outbreaks, riots, and bloodshed, which
have resulted from the Fcnian movement.
People do not rise, as the Fenians have
done, and persist so long, at so great risk,
without some good reason. Undoubtedly
the Irish people have good cause for rising
and it is useless to deny that all their efforts,
whether wisely planned or not, have great
justification. The remedy for Fenianism il
a redress of the wrongs which caused sucl
an organization. Mr.. Gladstone secs it
and it will be a happy day for Britain, wher
when all her statesmen can likewise discern
the truth.

HANCOCK.

We must say that we hesitate to yield
Hancock over to Andrew johnson, Democ-
racy and the rebels, While all his antece-
dents lead us to expect that he would have
Conservative tendencies on many questions,
we never have expected him to sully his
fair army record, by throwing himself into
the arms of the Louisiana rebels. And even
vet, we trust that it may be possible for him
to pursue nearly the same policy as that out
lined by Phil. Sheridan. At least we Will
not help to dripe him away from Republic
canism, as yet.
General Hancock comes of Democratic
stock, but his father, arespectable lawyer at
Norristown, Pa, left the party when the
war broke out, and though he did not act
prominently with the Union party, was well
understood to give it his vote. In 1860,
shortly before New Year, the General pro-
cured his appointment as Internal Revenue
Collector in the 9Th Pennsylvania Ms
trict. A brother received another ap
pointment in Philadelphia, and the
General himself, it will be remembered,
| had been promoted to be second on
the list of Major General, when Grant was
placed in his present position. BY thes'
marks Of favor. johnson purchased the ad
herence of the whole family, and we do mo-
know that any Of them have refused 10 fol
low his lead, at any time since.
As a soldier, Hancock was brillan, an'
successful leader, but hs 10 means arapu'al
one with his men 1t was asserted ti.ut liz
never took care Of their lives, but was reck
less iii exposing them TO the enemy. ioi ih'
purpose Of distinguishing himself
On the whole, ii will be difficult, We think
for Hancock; to make himself entirely nc
cepiahlc, either TO the reles OF the Seccsl
wine OF the Northern Democracy,as Pres
idcntial candidate The soldiers will rcpu
tiiate him, Of course and Andrew Johnson
support hurts rather than helps his pros

THE POOR.

The severity of the season calls rencwedly
upon the charities of the comfortable. Win
toris always time Of suffering for the poor,
but this winter is perhaps more so than usu-
al. The Indictment weather has come upon
us earlier than ii sometimes does, and there
are in many cities, if not in our own, more
than the usual number of unemployed per-
sons among those who depend upon en-
ployment for their daily bread
The call to give, to assist, comes not mere
ly to the wealthy. 1t is supposed that these
are all who are under obligation to look after
the necessitous. and that the possession OF
merely competence does not enable its
owner to be charitable. This is certainly u
wrong view; every comfortable family car
do something to make Others so, and the
obligation to assist is upon all in the ratio
Of their ability.
Look around you, in these days Of cold
and storm, and blast There is more suffer
ing than that which applies, openly at til,
front door There is other restitution, need
ing your aid beside that application whicl
your parse can silence. Clothes for til
poorly clad; food for the hungry: covering
for the hedlcss; II cdicine and dclicacies TO
the sick-all these are needed, and all ar
called on TO help supply them.
