Steamship Arrivals-Money Active-An.
ticipating January Interest Without
Rebate-Governments Advanced-Loss
Ofthe Steamer Fairbanks-Origin Of the
Fire Unknown.
New YORK, December 27.-Arrived !:
Louisa Moore, Niagara, Manhattan, Hunts
vile and San JacintO. Arrived out !:
Silesia, City of Baltimore, AllepO, HISTORIAN
and Italy.
Captain Salyear, of the steamer Louisa
Moore, from Newbern, which arrived o-day,
reports that the steamship Fairbanks,
Howe, from Wilmington to New York, with
cotton and turpentine, was forced, on the
ninth instant, to put into Hatteras Inlet for
harbor. 1t was blowing a gale from the
north. Everything appeared safe and sound
at one o'clock, when the first mate, three
seamen and oiler went ashore.
At about halfpast three o'clock, seeing a
smoke coming from under the pilot house,
they Immediately put off for the steamer
and found everything blazing in the hold.
The captain and all hands did their utmost
to quell the fire, but it gained on them so
fast that they barely had time to get some
of their effects together, and in short time
no vestise of the steamer could be seen, as
she was completely destroyed. The captain
and crew left in schooner for New York.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
Money more active, with signs Of artificial
tinkering with the market. The govern
ment is anticipating January interest, with
out rebate, to the amount of .thirty-two and
half millions. These large disbursements
of gold are looked forward to as relief to
the money market, but past experience
shows that it takes considerable currency
to handle the gold before it finally lodges in
the banks. This would prevent any i'm
mediate relief to the money market, and
r>~1r Av,o
time being.
Gold very dull all day. Governments at
the opening were very steady, but ad-
vanced Us per cent ON more active issues.
On second call they remained firm, and
closed at advanced prices. Skies of 1881,

THE COURTS.
Sixth District Court.

+. j. Heron vs.<Harris.-In this case
plaintiff sued for sum of money alleged to
have been loaned the defendant, for the pur-
pose of securing his election to the United
States Senate.
Defendant fled an exception to the
jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that
he was not resident Of the parish Of Orleans
The matter came mp yesterday, on rule to
show cause why the exception should not
be overruled. the plaintiff alleging that the
defendant was in fact resident of the par
ish of Orleans. The question of the local
dOmicil of the Senator only affects his right
to be sued in the parish wherein he resides,
and has nothing to do with his right to a
seat in the Senate, provided he be resi-
dent Of the State.
United States Commis.ioncr's Court.
United States, on complaint of Joachim
Alexander. VS.. o. v. Giddrey and Alfred
Giddrey-In this case it appears that, on the
eighth of September last, negro man
named Joachim Alexander appeared before
United States Commissioner Weller, and
made an affidavit to the effect that DIR. o. V.
Giddrey and Alfred Giddrey, citizens of St.
Landry parish, together with other persons
unknown to him, had unlawfully banded
premises disguised, and beaten, wounded
and bruised him, with the intention of fore
ing him to leave the crop Of cotton which he
was then eultivating. He swOre further.
that in consequence of this treatment he had
been compelled to leave his home, and take
refuge in New Orleans.
The Commissioner issued the necessary
warrants, which, however, were somewhat
tardily served, as the parties accused did
not arrive here until Saturday last, in
charge of Deputy Marshal Munday.
The testimony in the case was immedi-
ately taken, and both the gentlemen, who
are we'll known and estimable citizens OF
St. Landry, discharged from custody.

Death Of Recent Bride-No Receptions

WASHINGTON, December N.-COngress-

married to a nephew of w. w. COrcOran,
is dead of typhoid fever.
The President will not receive visitors
during the holidays.
The United States steamer Tennessee is
fitting up to carry the San Domingo Com
MissiOners, as soon as the House passes the
bill.
The subject of tho difficulty between the
President and Senator Sumner is exciting
great efforts in Republican circles to pre-
vent further illustrations of bad feeling,
and if possible, truce will be made be-
tween now and the recOnvening of Con.
gress, with regard to the general impression
that Sumner will be displaced from the
craftsmanship Of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
The New York Tribune in it's Washington
dispatches says: Those Senators who de-
cided after Summers speech on the San
Domingo resolutions and the debate which
followed, to attempt to remove the Massa.
chusetts Senator from the Craftsmanship OF
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, have
nearly all come to the conclusion to aban
don the undertaking.
FIRST, because 1t Is lmpractlcabIe OF &C
complishment, and second, because they
are satisfied that sumner is the most ca
pable man in the Senate for that position
Hereafter the majority can so arrange be
fore the legislative session, and thus pre-
vent them or such of them as Mr.. Sumner
opposes from going to the Foreign Relations
Committee.
Many o: the most radical administration
Senators are satisfied from the words OF
Sumner, which have been repeated to them
that he is net opposed to the genera
foreign policy of the President, and that hi
said much in the general excitement of the
debate which he did not intend to say, and
which he regrets. He does not express any
animOsity toward the President, and he in
tends to give all administration measures {
fair and cordial support.
The President, although somewhat painet
at what had occurred in the heat Of the
San Domingo debate, has never spoken o.
Mr. Sumner except in the most respectful
language.
