The War-POIiticO Fight in New
Orleans.

From the New Orleans Times, June 81
The quarrel between the General COM
handing the district and Governor Wells
has become so violent and in its results
so complicated that few have cared to
inquire into the real cause or origin of
the explosion. 1t is, however, interest
ing if not important to full under
standing of the issue that the facts
which preceded and produced it should
be clearly known and stated. Though
the relations of the General and the Gov
ernOr have been for some time uncertain
and variable, with Intermittent accesses
of amiable and confidential intercourse
and of bitter and violent conflicts, vet
the immediate cause, the tettriHG causa
belH, which has brought these two nOta-
bilities into their present fierce and NOR
tai antagOnism may be found in the con-
fltct arising out Of the several attempts
to create Levee Board TO direct the
execution of the most important public
works in the State.
1t is Curious and instructive history,
in which, we believe, the contestants are
each able to make a good showing
against each other, but find it difficult
to defend their own acts. During the
last four months there have existed in
the State, nominally and apparently at
least, four Boards of Levee Commission
ers. When the last Legislature assembled
there was an old Board, which was con-
stituted by Governor Wells, without any
authority OF law, but which the Legis-
lature thought it expedient to confirm
and recognize.
This was Board No. l.
The Legislature, however, passed
new bill, providing for the election of
Levee Commissioners by the two bodies
of the General Assembly, and without
waiting for the Governors approval OF

FEMALE SUFFRAGE IN KANSAS. - A
spirited contest is now going forward in
Kansas on the question of allowing wo-
men to vote The last legislature, by
large majority, submitted to the people
two constitutional amendments, one
striking ont the word white" the other
the word matchmaking, if they should
be apopted, suffrage practically univer-
sal. Upon platform favorable to both
amendments, the Republicans have nomi-
mated full State ticket, and are making
jealous canvass. Mass conventions are
to be held in all parts of the State dur
ing the season, to be addressed bv the
ablest advocates of universal suffrage
and speakers like Lucy Stone, Autoinet'v
Blackwell, Frances d. Gage, and Susan
B. Anthony, are engaged for service till
the election. The movement is favored
by all religious denominations, and the
clergymen and educated men with few
exceptions have taken ground in its
favor. John Stuart Mill's recent speech
in Parliament on that subject is TO be
circulated as campaign document. 1t
would be an honor, worthy Of no COM
mon effort, if Kansas-the first State to
conquer in hand to hand fight with
slavery, should also be the first, as 1t is
extremely probable she will be, to admit
women to share in her government.

The LATE FIRE AT BURLINGTON.-The
Times of yesterday morning contains
the following additional particulars re-
garding the destructive fire at Burling-
ton no Tuesday night last
The long exemption from disastrous
fires which Burlington has previous to
this year enjoyed seems to have come to
an end.
Last evening about 9 IL o'clock p. m.
the cry of fire was sounded, and the
barns of the Howard House" were dis
covered to be in flames.
The fire evidently originated in the
stables as there was no opportunity to
save more than two horses. The team
of the proprietor, Daniel @. Barber, was
fortunately out with guests for the de-
parting trains, but not less than seven
horses were destroyed by the flames,
among them those of Hon. A. C. WEIGH,
of Williston, Geo. F. Skiff of Monkton,
II. W. Barrett, Of Winooski, and Jerome
B. Smith, of Monkton.
The fire spread rapidly northwardly to
the Howard House, and southerly to the
the wheelwright and blacksmith shop of
Geo. H. Bostwick & Co.
The sparks from the Howard House
swept in magnificent stream over the
dwelling of Horace Wheeler, the Masonic
Hall and the buildings northerly, and
demanded the watchful care of all the
denizens as far north as the Battery
where the cinders fell 'taSt and furious. !"
| BY the aid of the immense throng of
! citizens which had gathered at the sound
of the various alarm bells and the pierre
ing whistle of the Rolling Mill, the
Howard House was partially emptied of
its contents, except five or six rooms, of
which the fell destroyer had taken full
! possession.
! The fremen Of both Companies,
| promptly on the ground, the Boxers
J getting the first stream on the fire, were
| obliged to direct their labors to the
! Howard House 10 prevent the spread of
the confagraton to the row Of buildings
! north of Main Street. While they were
! so engaged the flames insiduously COM
| municated themselves to the barns OF w.
! H. Lane, Nathl. Parker and G. NJ. Peter
|
B southwest of the Howard House, owned
by R. NJ. Adams and the whole were so
enwrapped by the destroying element
that they could not be saved. The black
smith shop occupied by Geo. II Bostwick
and owned by Mrs. Samuel NJ. Pope,
took fire on the roof, but the fire was ex-
tinguisbef by the fremen.
By this disastrous fire a prosperous
and almost Indispensable HUtr} is re-
/ dEced TO ashes q flourishiug carriage
and wheelwright business seriously de-
layed and impaired and various barns of
our citizens totally destroyed. The loss
cannot be less than thirty thousand
dollars, that Of Mr.. Barber alone reach
ing twenty thousand. He was insured
to the amount OF $500 as follows:
Insurance Company of North America,
of Phil. $1,000; Metropolitan ms. Co.
of N. Y, $4,000 Phoenix ms. Co., of
Hartford, Conn. $500; North Ameri-
can ms. Co., N. Y, $500.
The building occupied by Geo. H. Bost-
wick g. Co., as wheelwright and black
smith shop was owned by J. II. Robin
son, and was not insured. Its value
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1867-06-20
was from $4,000 to "a 600 Nstbl p.rks,,s

was from 5000 to "a, 600 Nathl. Parker's
barn was insured In the Vermont mutual
lns. Co. for about $3.50. The loss there
on was not less than $500.
g. M. Peterson's barn had been newly
built and completed only the day before
the fire, at cost of $500. Insurance
$3.50 In Security Insurance Co. of New
York.
As TO the insurance or losses on the
other buildings consumed or injured by
the fire we are not at present advised.
The Wheeler building, the Masonic
Hall, A. Prouty's barn (the small build

ling) and the Episcopal Church, took
hre on the root, but the flames were
speedily extlnguished.

upon the committee has been performed
faithfully, and the work is officially an.
nounced as being In readiness for publ.
cation.
1t is understood that the committee
had free access to the large collection Of
documents which were obtained In Eng
land and in the United States by the late
Rev. Francis L. Hawks, d, D., and which
are now in the custody OF the Rev. Will
liam Stevens Perry, of Litchheld Conn.
They comprise the "results OF research
among old church families for original
matters relating to our earliest history (;
materials gathered from the archives Of
Lambeth and Fulham and the State Pa.
per office in London the unedited and
unpublished letters of the missionaries
of the Venerable Society for propogating
the Gospel in foreign parts, and other
sources of rare information respecting
those who were foremost in laying the
foundations of the Episcopal Church in
Vermont.

so far as they relate to Vermont, with
the published and unpublished addresses
and pastoral letters of Bishop Griswold
and the action of the General Assembly

dictated in the old journals, session laws
and law reports all the journals OF the
Conventions Of the Episcopal church,
holden in Vermont, which were never
printed but were preserved simply in
manuscript, will constitute the chief part
Of the material OF this proposed volume
of Documentary History-accompa
of course, with important explanatory
notes.
1t is no part of our present purpose
to give an epitOme Of the contents of
this valuable work. We are not well
enough informed upon the subject to do
this. Nor is it necessary. A brief pros
pectus Of the Documentary History will
shortly be printed and put into the hands
OF the Rector, Wardens ana Vestry of
each parish in this Diocese, with the pur-
pose avowed in the resolution passed by
the Diocesan Convention, Of stimulating
an effort to ensure the early publication
thereof. From what was publicly said
we infer that the proposed history will
form volume of about 800 pages octave
and, probably, be afforded to subscribers
at about $500 per copy.
In view Of the Importance OF this pro.
posed publication we feel justified in
having presented in so prolix manner
the subject to our readers. We add our
wish and hope that the enterprise will
be cordially supported, and that the
labors of this learned committee of de-
voted churchmen may be presented to
the pubic at an early day and in such
style and numbers, as the character OF
the work and of those engaged upon it,
and to be benefited by it, justly de.
! mands.
