Magazine street, with its gigantic trade repre-
scented by some of our old and leading merchants,
is rapidly developing itself as the grand and i'm
portsnt center for wholesale transactions.
Among the brilliant array of prominent establish
ments which are contributing their ability and
wealth to enlarge its already extensive influence,
we observe with pride and pleasure that of our old
and much esteemed friend, F. Belden, as repre-.
sented by Mr.. D. W. Eames, dealer in hats, caps.
straw goods, etc. For the psst thirty years, this
enterprising merchant has been engaged in this
particular line, to which he has not only devoted
his characteristic energy and activity, but has sue
ceeded in attracting a patronage around him
which has made his business striking feature on
this busting and exciting thoroughfsre.
In this mornings CRESCENT we present his sd-
vertisement to our readers, feeling satisfied that
the old patrons of this popular emporium will
greet with pleasure so marked an evidence Of his
continued prosperity.

The Fair for the Benefits OF tho German z 70
teslnnI Orphan Asylum.


Owing to the miserable weather which prevail.
ed last evening, aud which was 30 very bad as TO
keep everyone indoors. except those called out by
urgent business, this fair. which should have been
brilliantly inaugurated, was but slimly attended.
Our reporter dropped in, however, and from what
be saw, could not but come to the conclusion that
the less fell principally upon those who were alb
sent Every preparation had been made for
most enjoyable evening to the visitors that were
expected, and though but few came, those that did
present themselves were amply repaid the incon-
venience they experienced and they could not
well help it, for, with such charming lot of ladies
as Mesdsmes Jackson, Stronger, Lehde Winbur-
ter and Otto TO supervise the tables. and such
bevy Of fair damsels as they had gathered around
them to act as Hebes, hard-hearted, indeed, must
have been he who could have failed to carry away
most pleasurable "reminiscences from the evening
spent at the Blafer Buildings.
Let US hope, however, that this evening may be
more propitous to the fortunes of the fair. Let
it but be pleasant one and we will guarantee
full attendance. The object of the entertainment
to raise funds to aid the German Protestant Or
phan asylum of thissciiy-is all that commends
itself to every heart, and we know the New Or
leans people too well to think that they will fail
to respond to any snch appeal. From our fellow
citizens who are more particularly interested in
the matter, the fair can look for very liberal
support, and from their past donations, it is pro-
bable, will not look in vain.
Let us see full attendance at the Blafer Build.
logs tonight, and let everybody go with at least
little money to give to the orphans.

The law which precludes A. T. Stewart
from acting as secretary of the treasury is a
law constituting the treasury department. 1t
is remarkable that the trainers of this law, at
a time when the foreign commerce of the
country was very small, should have foreSfen,
in such an appointment, dangers and difficult
ties at that period, of necessity only hypo-
thetical, and that General Grant should
choose the man of all the most Objectionable
that could be found. The spirit which the
new President brings to the execution of the
duties of an Office which he declares shall be
administered solely in accordance with the
public will, is illustrated by his haste to
require the repeal of law which he finds to
interfere with his personal preferences, and
to demand that policy which has endured
from the foundation of the government to the
present time, shall be RENTED to sui. his
personal convenience. 1t is not very en-
couraging symptom that the new Presidents
first official communication to Congress
should be request, amounting almost to a
command, that one of the salutary checks
upon the executive Office should be removed
by the repeal of law which prevents him
from rewarding a clamorous friend. 1t is
remarkable, too, that the party which has
waged frantic war on one President simply
because he has endeayored, in the interest of
public liberty, to maintain his constitutional
prerogatives, should have elected another Pre-
sident whose first official act is to violate the
law and then to ask Congress to sanction the
violation.

Speaking of the Inauguration ball, and the
exclusion of the man and brother therefrom,
the Albany Evening Journal, an intensely
Radical paper, says:
The r,pugDance TO certain associations and af.
ilatons is perfectly natural. There are
physical and mental differences n the two races
which separate them by an memorable law OF re.
pusion. and which can be overcome by no amount
OF humanitarian philosophizing or phianthropic lie.
gislaiion. The white does not accept the black
as a coDgenial fellow aud associate. Aud he
never will. We believe that sensible colored
people will agree with us upon this point. They
see that neither their own happiness nor their po-
sitioD in society will be improved by ignoring the
differences which the Almighty has created. No
black man with q proper sense of seltrespect
would seek to crowd himself into society where
be was not wanted, and where he must be CON-
scous that all around regarded him al inferior.
But in Louisiana Constitutions and laws are
necessary and proper, on Radical theories to
force white people to admit negroes to their
companionship. Political adventurers have
persuaded an ignorant race that they have the
right to force other people to act in a manner
which their Northern ally declares to be an
outrage on the laws of nature, and to abandon
feelings which no amount of humanitarian
philosophizing or philanthropic legislation
can overcome.

The New York Tribune says that the duty
on foreign salt is only eighteen cents a hun
bred pounds. But salt is worth at Turks
Island ten cents and at Liverpool eight cents
per bushel of eighty-five pounds, so that the
duty of only eighteen cents per hundred
pounds amounts to only 160 or 40 per cent
ad ualorem. What modest considerate crea-
lures the salt monopolists are.

1t was a very sharp thing in General Grant
to keep his mouth so closely shut about his
cabinet that even the most inquisitive Radical
politicians could not pry it open. But the
consequence of ''Mumm's Cabinet" is that
one Of them can't serve, and some of the rest
won't serve

THE PHILOSOPHER AT THE INAUGURATION BALL
A Washington dispatch OF he 9th says:
The evehiDg papers here contain amusing
accounts of Greeley at the Inauguration ball.
They say that his venerable white head and spec
tacles made him conspicuous object wherever
he moved. causing him TO be recognized by every
body. he looked like a cat In strange garrett in
we midst of the gay throng, and was continually
getting stranded in some hopeless position. At
enc time he was fastened upon stairway 10 an
eddy of the two currents of moving humanity for
nearly an hour. Slow OF motion. he was con-
tnually being scrouged and hustled and crushed
by the pretty women revolving about him. This
last experience he seemed to rather like, but he
swore great deal. in the oldest and mos; miscel.
lsnsous style, when jammed and jolted for two
hours at the closk-rooms in quest Of his white
overcoat. One would soon expect q bullet
from a rosebud oath from Horace Greeley
but be certainly did curse most fariously on this
occasion.

1t is mentioned as doubtful whether Sheri-
dan will come here after all. The order as
signing him to this department assigns him,
it will be observed, as amajor general, whereas
on the same day on which the order was issued,
he was nominated TO lieutenant generalship.
Under this view of the case, army officers con-
slider it probable, either that the order SO far
as it concerns Sheridan, will be revoked, or
that in case he come here it will be to COM
mand some large military division to be newly
created. with headquarters in this city

The funkyism displayed by the unnamed
minister Of the Metropolitan Church in Wash
ington-his name ought to be consecrated to
immortal infamy-when Grant and family
entered the church and withdrew for want of
special accommodations, was sight to draw
down the excavation even of saints and angels
and to provoke the inextinguishable laughter
of devils. Why should it be necessary to
apologize for not having place reserved in
the church for the President? Under the
Gospel which you profess to proclaim and
inculcate, Mr.. Preacher, all alike are misera-
BILE sinners, all alike are dead in the con-
demnation of the law, all alike are de-
pendent on Almighty mercy, and all alike are
called to share in redemption by the atom
ing blood of the Savior. In this grand
scheme, there are no observation-disclosures
favors, no privileges, on behalf of the rich,
the powerful, the. great. Then why should
you apologize for not having provided a
privileged place for the President? Was the
church not open to him as much as to the
humblest, obscurest, poorest way-farer who
might wish to hear the Gospel preached

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-5ince the
Presidents Message was sent to the
Senate sskiDg the repeal Of the law
which preeludes Stewards acceptance OF
the S seretaryship Of the Treasury without
his retirement from business, there has
been much consultation among members
Of Congress on the subject. Some Re-
publicans have openly declared they will
vote for such q resolution, others ex-
press their reluctance to do 30, but say
they will do nothing to embarrass the
President at the commencement Of his
administration. Mr.. Stewart was
in consultation with various
Senators to-day, in view of what
has occurred. 1t is probable the Presi-
dent will withdraw his message, or that
Mr.. Stewart will resign to leave the
ment.
On sccount Of the amount Of business
to be transacted by Congress the session
Is not likely to be q very short one.
Gentlemen connected with the Re-
publican association in the South have
been in consultation regarding the inter-
ests Of that section. Those from AIaba-
ma and Mississippi will hold a meeting
tomorrow night.
Ex-President Johnson and wife are
still stopping with a friend. 1t ia ex-
pected that he will, by Invitation of the
corporate authorities Of Baltimore, visit
that city Wednesday. On his return to
Washington be will take the train by
way Of L~ynchburg for his home in Ten
