A MODEST REQUEST.

One of the funniest things in the way OF
newspaper literature, to which we have
been treated for some time, we notice re-
printed from Canadian journal, which
proposes, in a lengthy article, that the
United States shall pay four millions of
dollars to defray the expenses incurred by
the Canadians in their last bloody campaign
against the Fenians The writer bases
this proposition on the fallacious theory
that Congress was much to blame for not
lining the border with troops and thereby
preventing the invasion of the dominions.
The triaing sum Of four millions
would be quite acceptable to a
country which is non-paying
concern to her owners yet there
are several little objections to such de-
mand. The United States acted with fair
ness throughout the matter. The Fenian
pow-wow was we'll known in this country
to be nothing else than a desire on the
part of few humbugs and knaves to gain
notoriety and enrich themselves at the ex-
pense Of fools, by leading them to believe
they could capture Canada. Nothing
would have been more ridiculous than to
have sent our army to the frontier to pre-
vent warlike demonstrations. The act OF
prevention was left to the United States
Marshals, and right well have they dis
charged their duties. The Canadians
again pulled themselves into red hot ex-
element over the raids, and as if julius
Caesar had arisen from the dead, with his
hosts of warriors, and was about to blot
the Blue Noses from the face of creation,
they, for months previous, had organized
an immense army to march from point to
point and pacify any timid Canadian who
could see an Irishman five miles away,
through spy glass. On the supposition
even, that we should pay anything, JUS
tice should not demand cent for these
maneuvres. Not more than five
hundred men were requisite to defeat the
Fenians, and, indeed, there was no
necessity to raise more than that
number. We admit that this small
army was expensive, more particularly
as a live prince lay in the rear
awaiting an opportunity to scalp stray
Fenian. As the dominions were not ne
cessitated to purpose grave yard
wherein to bury the dead Of the youthful
warrior, we opine his presence was an un-
necessary luxury.
Again, Canada owes US much heavier
and somewhat similar debt, for, during the
it gave refuge and aid to parties
Of Confederates, compared with whom the
most bloodthirsty or knayish Fenian
would be demigod.
Our government interfered with the Ca
madam raid, not out of sympathy with Ca
nadians, but because it was morally bound
to do so, and we strongly advise Canadian
when they are compiling their
budget for next year, to not estimate these
four million dollars among their receipts,
AS they might not get them.

The following is related by the Louisville

COurier.JOatfndt:
Captain C. c. Grove, whose appointment
to the position of Secretary of Utah was
confirmed by the Senate last Friday, died
the day after, at his home, in Marion, Ala
bama. He was a native of Giles county,
Tennessee, and was about forty years Of age.
He was sub.elector on the Fillmore ticket
in 1856, and was regarded at that time as
one of the most Elective stump speakers in
the State. A year or so later he removed to
Alabama and began the practice of the law
at Marion. Soon after his arrival there he
made political speech at the courthouse
one evening, and among his hearers was a
wealthy planter of the neighborhood who
had an only daughter. The old gentleman
was so delighted at Groves eloquence that
be exclaimed in the midst of the speech
THAT young man shall be my son-in-law."
In due time the marriage took place. During
the war Captain Grove commanded Con-
federate regiment. After the war he Joined
the Radical party. Something over a year
ago General Grant appointed him Governor
OF New Mexico, but, owing to his political
disabilities, the appointment was not con.
firmed

The Irish patriot, John Mitchell, seems
bent on drawing fifty thousand dollars out
of the American patriot John A. Dix, who
had him arrested and imprisoned once upon
atime, for sympathizing with "Dixie," when
spike" was in arms and eager for the fray
that was intended to wipe "Uncle Sam"
right out of existence. Mr.. Mitchell, I'M
doubtedly had right to place his sympa.
thies where he thought they would pay
best or were best deserved, as the case
may have been; but some persons think
he would have displayed more judg-
ment had he attempted to draw
fifty thousand dollars out of the Louisiana
State Lottery. His suit in the Superior
Court of New York against Mr.. Dix for fifty
thousand dollars would seem most desper-
ate effort to make money-far more desper-
ateHthan most people would like to encoun-
ter, particularly when the chances for OBJ
tanning it are so much better in the Louis
lana State Lottery-an institution right
here in Dixie that affords frequent evidence
that it is q source Of money to people who
have the judgment to buy tickets in the
drawings of the same. Tomorrow will be
fortunate dayto those who have bought
lucky numbers.

ON CARONDELET STREET.

| The advantage is still on the side OF the
bulls in Slaughterhouse stock. There is
nothing surprising in this condition OF
affairs. The Algiers abattolr has mo-
nopoly Of present business. The courts
are about to adjourn, with every prospect
of the State courts injunctions operating
against the butchers during the vacation.
The multitude of petty suits for damages
against the Slaughterhouse Company ct al.
can not be disposed of before fall. They
amount, in the aggregate, to large sum.
but they are, at most, only prospective
burden upon the Slaughterhouse people.
Outsiders are not yet willing to dip largely
into the stock as an investment, or for
speculative purposes; but it now seems as
if it might be made the subject Of good
deal of business before cool weather, with
out regard to the ultimate fate of the CON-
pany and its litigation.
The bulls have the whip hand just now,
at all events, and talk very confidently Of
their ability to hold their present position
and to better it. The trade in the stock is by
no means active. The price has continued
to gain slowly, but good deal of caution
is apparent with reference to operations.
The stock closed firm at S23.
There is no stir in any other securities.
The brokers remain at their posts during
this sweltering weather with admirable
patience and perseverance, watching all
day long for the business that does not
come, and at night they make cheerful
party upon the banquette at ''Gold Room"
corner. Amid banter and chaff, some
transactions take place, and the evening
meetings have become fixed institution
not to be neglected by any wide-awake
party.
The evening papers yesterday made the
following announcement:
The State loan negotiated at New York the
day before yesterday was for So, 000, 900, ill.,
stead of 81 100000 rs telegraphed, and sold
with the option of taking only 50 100000.
Terms: $500 COO, payable July Is. $500 coo
August ], $500, 900 August 10, $500 600 Sep
TENDER T. 100000 September Is, and
s500,O October Is. The third payment is
payable in warrants.
We have to apologize to our conJreres
for making some slight emendation of the
above. First, the State loan was not ne
gotiated at New Y ork, but in New Orleans,
by the old and well-known house of Hunt
& Macaulay, 100 Gravier street. This
firm negotiated also the eight per cent.
fve-year levee loan $4,000, O00), short
time ago. In both instances they acted
for the same London house, and have Sc
cured the placing of the new State loan, as
well as our levee skies and eights, upon
the regular call of the stock board in Lon
don.
The transaction in the new bonds was
managed on the other side BY the State
commission, consisting of the Governor,
the State Auditor, and the State Fiscal
Agent president Of the Citizens Bank.
$4,000, 1000 were sold at 72ll, and 81 ,OOO,-
600 more, buyers option till August Is.
The operation is a very heavy one, and
under all the circumstances, must be re-
garded as good one for all parties.
The following sales were reported yes
terdav.

nent, is to drive them into the Democratic

party.
Can we make anything by such policy !?
total and permanent ostracism of all who
engaged in the rebellion, or the total aban-
donment of this as a political disability,
with a political recognition of every man
according to his present course. Alderman
has supported the national government in
its policy of reconstructing the Southern
States. The Republican party has to decide
whether it will receive such men, and
thereby encourage their propagation, or will
tain rebel political organization, and ID
stick to the Democratic party in self.defense

INDIAN MASSACRE.

Mall Robbed and Mail Carrier Killed
and Scslped-PrOfess0r ROessler At
tackled and Driven Back-An the
Party Slain but Koessler.
From the Austin Journal
The mail driver between Griffin and Rich
ardson, named James Taylor. was attacked
about eight miles beyond Belknap, at the
Salt Fork of the Brszos. by Indians, killed
and scalped. There was neither guard nor
passengers. The mail bags and mules were
carried off, and have not yet been recovered.
This murder occurred on the second Of this
month. The news was brought by Mr.. T. D.
st. Johns direct to US from Fort Griffin.
The same gentleman brings tragic news
from Professor Roessler, who lately started
with an escort of the Sixth Cavalry from
Fort Richardson, to explore the copper
region of Northwest Texas. While in the
Wichita country, and travelling carelessly,
with two wagons and hack, the escort be-
ing far IN advance, they were attacked sud-
denly from the thickets by the savages, and
all of the party, except Professor Roessler,
slain. The escort. galloped back in time to
save the Professors life. The whole party
then returned to Fort Griffin. Set down
another devilish debit to the Indian account.

New Orleans summers, and found not to soften By
the heat of the sun.
2. Being in general use at the North, it necessa.

4. 1t is perfectly impervious to water, and conse.
quently quickly becomes dry when wet.
8. 1t makes no dust in dry or mud in wet weather.
6. 1t does not crack or crumble, nor is it washed
by the rain.
Z. 1t is inpenetrabe to grass weeds or water.
6. 1t prevents noxious vapors gases, arising
from the ground beneath, and affords no reservoirs
