The New York Tribune says: sour new
President has done many acts tor which his
country will ever hold him in grateful remem-
brance, but he never did a wiser or nobler act
than his nomination yesterday Of General
James Longstreet for Surveyor of the port
OF New Orleans. General Longstreet was a
rebel q fig hting rebel-the best division COM
mander in their service after Stonewall Jack
son; yet, from the hour Of the downfall of the
Oonfe deracy, he has been one Of the most
earnest, consistent, efficient Unionists in the
South, and has been Aoorned, tabooed, scoffed
at therefor by all that is malignant and i'm.

high. trust by General Grant is ono OF the best
measures OF practical reconstruction yet de.
vised. and rejects honor on all concerned. We
hope tor its prompt confirmation"

Eastern wharves which has been leased by
Mr.. Sardy. A ffty-horse steam engine drives
the machinery, which consists Of crusher for
breaking 10 the bone phosphate. and two
French burr mills for pulverising it," '-
