For THE FAIR.-On Sunday we visited the ex-
tensive cigar mandatory of Mr.. Geo. Alces, on
Rampant street, just below the Place d'Armes in
order to examine the case Of cigars which he Ia g
prepared for exhibition at the great State Fair
and Of which we had heard q great deal said
with regard to the beauty Of the case and the
excellence of the cigars. We were very far from
being disappointed. The case itself is of splendid
workmanship ard OF wonderful ingenuity and as
for cigars, we can safely say we have never seen
better made cigars Of the most celebrated brands
from Havana. When folded, the case is about
four feet long and two and half in width
snd depth. When opened out it is about
five feet in breadth, and fits together
as nicely as .any desk or secretaire
in the United States treasury department. This
case has three compartments, each containing
nearly 1900 cigars. On either side those made of
Connecticut OF Louisiana tobscco-in the center.
o. the purest Vueltd AbGjO. Mr. Alces selected
sOne out Of each compartment, and having shaken
them together, offered them for our selection.
They were so precisely similar. that although ex-
perienced judges, we tried in vain to distinguish
one from another. There are the Regalia del Rey,
Manolas, Regsia Britannica, Rothschd and Ii
menos. The box (which is of rich mahogany,
lined inside with Cuban cedar,) and its contents
have stood MIR. Alces in the sum OF $l800-a mag.
nicent voiive Offering at our great State Fair for
which he deserves great credit, as judicous and
liberal merchant and manufacturer. His rivals
will find 1t very difficult TO carry off any Of the
prizes TO be given for the best samples in the
cigar line.

THE MUsTER-oUT ORDER.-The order of General
Grant mastering out of service all volunteer Of
fcers, except disbursing officers of the freedmens
buresu, has been carried into effect 1t applied
TO something over two hundred persons. General
Scott, in South Carolina and General Brown in
Virginia, were specially retained by Grant as
commissioners for those States, and an order in
General SewalPs case was suspended to enable
him to finish his tour Of inspection preparatory to
closing up the bureau. Such of the officers mus
tered out as are really needed by General Howard
will be retained by him.
Under the fourth section of the act extending
the bureau, giving him power to do so, some
will be put upon regular salary as civil agents,
and others under the terms of that law will be
paid according to army regulations drawing pay
and ratioDs merely at the rate given to officers
when the act took effect, which is much less than
the present rate.
Gen. Howard keeps all his old staff officers,
though all have been mustered out except Gen.
Ballach, bis chief disbursing officer. Gen. Greg
ory will be kept at the head of the bureau in
Maryland till the middle Of next month, when the
bureau viii DE closed in that State as well as in
Tennessee No officers will be retained in the
South except such are called for by the assist
ant commissioners.

THE GRANT MOVEMENT BY NEw YoRK MIL
L:oNAREs.--Ihe New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, writing on the 2Sth ult.,
says:
Perhaps the most significant political fact
to-day is the published programme Of A. I. Stew
art, Esq, concerning the next presidential elec-
tion, as presented TO the committee Of twenty-five
appointed by the meeting that was held at the
Cooper Institute some weeks since TO nominate
General Grant. The committee of twenty-five
were in council last night, and to these men the
great dry goods merchant conided his plans.
These plans, in brief, contemplate an avoidance
Of all conflicts with politicians who might seek to
use the committee in behalf of candidates for
vice president or any other position, giving all
their efforts to aid General Grant alone Also to
issue business circulars to all commercial men
throughout the country, urging them to fall in
with the movement so IS to make ii successful.
The importance of this proceeding consists in
the wealth and position of the men whoy are
backing 1t up. A. T. Stewart is probably the
richest man on Manhattan Island to-day. and when
he and such other capitalists as Vim. B. Astor,
Cornelius Vanderbilt and James Brown (of Brown
Bros.) are pulling on the same " committee" !" ths
organization is one that is likely to make it1
mark.
The regular out-snd-out politicians look upon
the movement with suspicion, and neither Demo-
Gratis nor Republicans are believed to give it en-
coursgement, though heard prominent and
well-known Tammany man say this morning that
Z" if they would put NJ MIyor Hoffman the ticket
for vice president, it would be team that nothing
could beat"

DOLBEAR's CoLLEGE-Merchants and business
men generally, but more particularly young men
who desire TO learn practical business education,
are referred to the DOlbesr Commercial College,
at the corner of Camp and Common streets,
which has been 10 successful operation for up
wa ds of twenty-five years. 1t is the Oldest COM
meroial college in the United States, and Is
thoroughly identified with the South and its pros
perity. surprisingly large percentage of our
commercial men have been educated at Dolbears,
and their great success in business Is a signal
proof how thoroughly they were indoctrinsted in
the intrcacies OF mercantile affairs. This ia the
case not only in Louisiana, but all the South.
The faculty is composed Of gentlemen each Of
whom is unsurpassed, in any Institution Of lesIn-

FIFTH AND nAsr DAY.

Although the weather yesterday was as variable
as that of April, and the clouds which scudded
from the southwest in lowering proximity to
mother earth gave uncomfortable forbodings of
heavy rain. no shower of any consequences fell
after one O'Clock. The stand was gay with the
brilliant colOrs worn by the beau se1e, and the
attendance of amateurs Of the turf was
considerably beyond the average of the
winter meeting. Par pdrGnIiese, 1t seems
almost contradiction to call this much Of the
new year winter, for the grass is as green as
emerald, new leaves are putting forth vigorously
On the trees and shrubbery, the birds are wooing
each other, and all nature wears the garb Of May
Great sport was looked for in the two races to be
run-the first dash Of four miles, for which six
horses had been entered; the second, mile heats

HIGHLY SENSATIONAL REPORT.-The New
York correspondent of the Waterford Mail, under
date of December 3, writes:
Admiral Tegethoff, of the Austrian navy, is
now en- route for home, with what he believes to
be the body Of the unfortunate MaximiIian. NV
connection with the Mexican agents in this coun-
try forbids my entering into minutie, but can as
sert that the remains which will be honored by
Austria are not those of the i-fated scion of the
House of HapsbuTg, but of Hamero, a noted ban
dit and guerilla, who in life, was not unlike poor
Naximilian. The latter is pining in an obscure
dungeon in Queretsro. fed with felon's food, and
awaiting the arrival of welcome death. The night
before his supposed execution, Juarez, uncertain
of bis own success in seeking the presidency, and
perhaps unwilling 10 imbrue his hands in royal
blood, had the noble captive conveyed by stealth
to a secret den, and substituted in his stead the
rUfiian Hamero, hoping, had he not succeeded in
his political aspirations, to have made fortune
by delivering him TO Austria"
