TIE CITY ELECTION.

W. ,rh,;sb in this mornings CRESCENT,
very important correspondence between 'uu9e
Whitaker and Colonel Johnson, the assistant
secretary of civil affairs. Judge Whitaker IN
ouires the views of the district commander
respecting the effect of General Grants IN
structions on the municipal elections, and
especially on the legal proceedings taken by
ex-Mayor Heath against Mayor Conway.
General Buchanan replies, through the asslS-
tant secretary, that the writ of quo 'odrTdHto'
in this case, will not be allowed to take It's
course because, if the decision should be
favorable to the relator, it would involve an
attempt to disregard the orders of the district
commander, and would be defiance of the
acts of Congress. Moreover, even if it should
be decided that Mayor Conway was not
elected in accordance with law, Mayor Heath
would not, thereby, acquire any right to the
office. His title was based on a military
order, and lapses the moment that the military
authority withdraws its support from him.
by naming a successor. 1t is hard
to see, indeed, on what ground Mayor
Heath founded his claim to repossess
the mayoralty. He certainly should be the
last man to question the right of the district
commander to remove and to appoint mayor
of New Orleans. Except by Gen. Sheridan
order he would never have held the office;
and, apart from that order, he never had any
title to it. At this moment any other citizen
of New Orleans has just as much right as
Mayor Heath to lay claim to the mayoralty.
He was not a candidate for the office; he
never received vote for it, and he has been
removed by the power that appointed him.
We presume that Gen. Buchanan's action
will settle the controversy at once, and
relieve the court from the necessity oil
deciding that Mayor Heath had en-
gagged in what might very appropriately be
called wild goose chase.

ED. CRESCENT perceive in the discussion
of the quarantine question that your contem-
poraries and their correspondents admit the
premises that Buffers quarantine and sani-
tary measures did keep out yellow fever from
this city, and inferentially admit the con-
clusion that rigorous quarantine will have a
like effect in the future.
But the question remains, was there not
yellow fever in the city in epidemic phase dur
ing Federal occupation? If not what was the
meaning of the great number of night burials
during that time, and what was the disease
which carried off many of the boys in
blue, ana which the soldiers called "mud
fever" from the fact that the patients vomited
a dark substance, which looked like black
mud?
Many of our sold women" residents, who
had opportunities for observing aud making
inquiries, declare their belief that yellow fever
was as prevalent during occupation" con-
sidering population, as at any previous time.

GRANT AT WEST PONT.-He appeared, as on
the previous evening, in a suit of PLAN black his
shrtfr and vest "saggng" from the slight
stoop ia his sbOulders his manner is quiet, his
eyes as watchiul and bis gait as lazy as they
usually are. The general has an undeniably
" naId" looking face, TO which, in respect e.
whatever of an intellectual cast there is about IT,
the worst Of his portraits do more than justice.
His bad compile xion and the yellowsh brown tints
of his griZz ed beard, mix SO to speak, with one
another, producing an effect quite wretched. Nor
is bis expression, at its best, calculated TO
sure the beholder. His much talked of reticence
appears by no means TO be the reserve of a calm,
dignI6ed, modest gentleman. 1t resembles, rather,
the tsciurbity, pent with the awkward self con
sCiOUsness Of one fearful Of exposing some INTEL
lectusl frsilty. For a great man, Gen. Grant is
not at all fascinating.
AS he stood on the piazza Of the hotel this fore
noon, more than one young officer who had been
previously introduced to him looked in vain for
recognition, aud hestated TO approach the gen.
eral and salute him. They doubtless remembered
his style' of receiving them before; for have
been told that on previous occasion, he simply
did certain young officers the honor to nod at their
presentation, without even saying "hOw d ye
o." or making the slightest response to any of
the courteous remarks addressed 10 him. Per
haps, however, seeing that Gen. Grant has be-
come politician at last, and is about to run for
the presidency Of the United States, he may be-
gin, upon tins neutral ground, to teach his tongue
more glibness and his manner more cOnsiderate
courtesy -[COrrespondence New York World.

general agent of the Southwestern Bible So
ciety, that his late application for aid to the
American Bible Society was cordially enter
tanned by the officers of that society, and that
in addition to grant of $500 worth of
Bibles and Testaments, they cancelled the
debt due from the Southwestern Bible Society
for stock previously obtained to the amount
of s4646 &C. Another decided proof of the
liberality of the parent society to our South
