at as high ebb here at some other places, the
RAIDS having always held the balance of power.
But if distributing papers, documents and useful

some converts this fall.

BLOWING UP.


The chief of police of New York has dis
covered stupendous Guy Fawkes plot One
hundred and sixty pounds Of nitro-glycerine
have been discovered in unauthorized hands,
and the implication is that those unauthor-
lied hands are TO deposit the one hundred
and sixty pounds of nitro-glycerine under
the Capitol, and finish the radical party,
reconstruction, impeachment and all, by
blowing up the whole concern. We are
informed on good authority that "the thief
does fear each bush an officer" and, for a
reason similar to that which affects the thief,
Congress received the intelligence commune
Gated by the inquiring chief of the New York
police with more alarm than merriment.
Under ordinary circumstances the announce
ment of the presence of a hundred and sixty
pounds of nitro-glycerine in unauthorized
hands would excite more mirth than con-
sternation; but Congress is conscious Of
deserving q blowing up, and hence the
anxiety when it is ascertained that unauthor-
lied hands are in the possession of an agent
which might blow up the whole radical Con-
gress. Henceforth, we presume, nitro-glyce-
rine will be considered an impediment to
reconstruction, and be removed accordingly
from all unauthorized hands.

GRAND FETE DAYS ON THE FAIR GROUNDS
In anDther column will be found the pro-
gramme of two grand fete days on the Fair
Grounds, under the supervision of the Fair
Grounds Association. The first series OF ex-
hibitions, performances, and diversions will
take place on Saturday, the 18th instant, and
the next on Sunday, the LIST proximo. The
love of our population for outdoor spectacles,
exercises, and recreations is proverbial, and
we can not well imagine occasions more
adapted to call forth display of this char
acteristic than those promised on Saturday
and Sunday. Should the weather be fair, we
may expect New Orleans to well nigh empty
itself into the Fair Grounds.

tics recommended the adoption of a uniform
method Of classifying hazards. Mr.. Chase. of the
Adjustment committee, said losses were paid as =
general rule without sufficient investigation. This
was done often TO get favorable notices in the

encouragement of iDcendarism. He recommen.
6ed the adoption Of rule that no claim be paid
without certificate from the police or fire depart
ment that the fire was accidental.
After considerable discussion, resolution en-
bodying the Recommendation In principle was
adopted. A resolution was also adopted 10 favor
of calling upon tie State legislatures To enact
laws TO punish persons defrauding or attempting
TO defrsud insurance companies.
Mr.. howard offered series Of resolutions, de-
claring that the government tax on insurance
companies was too excessive, and should be modi-
fed. Adopted.
The following officers were then elected:
President-James N. Mclean, of Citizens In
sursnce Company, New York.
Vice President-L. J. Hendee, OF Etna Insurance
Company.
Teasurer-J. g. Parish, Of Atlantic Insurance
Company, Providence.

A committee was then appointed to solicit in
surance companies In the city 10 adopt uniform
tariff as sgeed 10 by sixty-nine companies ant
several agents, and, after some unimportant bust
ness, the convention went into secret session.
