THB ELECTION OF CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.-The regular election for
Chief and Assistant Engineers of the Fire De.
partment took place last evening, the companies
voting at their various houses by ballot. All
interest was centred in the straggle for the
Chiefship For this office the contest narrowed
down to Mr.. McCgsker and Mr.. Downey, and up
to a late hour lasH&vening the result indicated
the election OF Mr.. Downey. After the close OF
the polls at the several engine houses, the men
turned out in procession and marched to the
headquarters OF their respective favorites.
Music in some instances headed these process
sions, and assisted to increase the excitement
at the headquarters. Mr.. Downey was located
at the Western Engine Company's house, Cal
lowhill street; above Eighteenth, while the
hoyamensng Hose house was the place for the
reception of news favorable to Mr.. McCusker.
Several companies paraded as far as Chestnut
street, and passed the Chief Engineers Office,

hose carriages indicated the choice OF the COM

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 14.-General Howard deli
yered an address to the coored people at Liberty

selves might not be verified. The general said no
thing relating to political affairs. He was rendered
serenade by the Republican club, but declined, as
he leaves for Mobile this afternoon.

THE IMPENDING DANGER IN REV OR
LEANS,

| New ORLEANS, August 15.-.An infor-
nal meeting Of prominent members OF
! both parties was held last night in the
Governors office. Both parties conce-
ded that the danger was iminent. The
Democratic gentlemen expressed their
opinion that the best, or rather only
way to insure peace was to stop the
system ofaggressiyeand oppressive leg
islatiOn now in progress. They said
the democratic and conservative ele-
ments ofthe country expected to accom-
plish except in legal and constitution
al way, and insisted that it. was uhwse
and improper for the State Government
is to defy the sentimen: and wishes of
the people. and that if the Governor
would thro himself upon the people
they would sustain him, and no resort
to force for the preservation OF the peace
would be necessary.
Governor Yarmouth stated that he
was authorized on behalf Of the repu5
licans TO say that there was nothing in
reason which they can do or concede
that would not be done to secure har-
mony, and said that all measures obnox-
ious to the citizens of the State which
are not matters of party policy, and
will be modified. He asserted that he
was trnest in his eXpressdesire to Sc
cure the public welfare and preserve
peace and order.
Another meeting will be held in few
days when, it is hoped, some practical
ILLUSTRATION of the mutual desire Tor ha-
mony will be presented, The moderate
republicans coneede taat the system of
legislation heretofore and at present
pursued is calculated to create strife
The democracy say that the preserva-
ton of order is all they most desire, and
claim that it rests with the republicans.
An act to regulate public education
in the State of Louisiana, prepared un-
der the supervision of Parson Conway
has beeu made the special order for next
Friday.
The act provides that the schools
shall be open to all children between
the ages of six and twenty-one, with
out distinction ofrace, color, or previous
condition. The bill also requires all
teachers to inculca:e loyalty to the ma
tional government, and kindness to all
men, regardless of race or color.

JAMES C. soUTHALL.

What is this man doing? He has no
morelrlght to deprive the State of the
pleasure and instruction which his pen
afford. than he has to steal. In fact.
he is stealing that pleasure and instruc-
ton from the State, if, for Incidence
sake, lie hides himselfin his library and
does nothing. 1t has been said that he
intends to become minister IT so,
we'll; if not, he must return to the pen.
His writings frequently offend-in fact
we have often risen from the perusal Of
them mad enough to Kill him-but they
seize the mind interest and excite it as
the writings OF no other man in the
State. He has got no business going
into hole and browsing there.

NEWSPAPER CHANGES.

Messrs. WITHERs and PERRY have re-
tired from the Lynchburg News, and
their places will be filled by Messrs.
PEYTUN and Humphreys, the partners
of Mr.. CABELL. The exalted opinion
of Col. WITHERs which we entertain is
well known to our readers, and need
not be repeated here. He carries into
the retirement, which he needs after his
arduous canvass, the esteem not only Of
the entire press but of the whole State.
We trust that his retirement will last
only SO long as it will take the white
people to regain possession of their good
old State. They cannot and they will
not forget his self-sacrificing labors in
their behalf.
Mr.. PERRY is he of the best news edi-
tors we have ever known. His indus
try never flags, he neglects no important
item, and he has the art of catering to
all tastes, SO that the News, in the hands
of WITHERs and himself, attained in
few years popularity which the old
est papers might envy. PERRY ought
to remain in the newspaper business.
OF Messrs. PEYToN and HUMPHREYS
we know little, but both are highly
commended for talent by their friends.
1t is we'll that Mr.. WADDELL remains
with them for time. He is the only
irresistible drummer living or that ever
lived. We tender our congratulation
and best wishes to the new concurn.
