FIRE.-The alarm of fire this morning, al
12.45, came from the blacksmith shop at the
head of Central Wharf, owned by Hon. John
Lynch, and occupied by Samuel Avery The
building having been occupied twenty years,
was as dry as finder and the fire spread to every
part of the building almost as instantancously
as if saturated with kerosene, and in a moment
threatened the surrounding buildings. But the
prompt presence of the fire department and
their efficient work when on the spot got the
fire under control so quickly as to save another
wooken building almost joined The building
itself was rendered quite worthless. MIR. Avery
lost nearly all his tools, his books upon which
were the charges of the season, amounting to
$780, several sets of wheels and other stock so
that his loss cannot be less than $500 and per-
haps more, upon which there is no insurance
Mr.. Avery employed three men and was doing
good business Mr.. Lynch's loss was esti-
mated at $1,000 No insurance.

Order on the Fourth Of March.

The recent firemens parade was the most
extensive of it's kind that has occurred
during many years; and as this seemed to
be expected, probably on account of the
visit by portion Of the Mobile Fire De
partment, the crowd Of spectators was be-
yond what has been seen for long time
previously.
Yet through all, we are gratifed to know
that the utmost order was maintained and
nothing disturbed the decorum of the occa-
sion. This is greatly due to the sense of
propriety existing in our community, but
great deal of credit should also be given to
the police, who we're, for the day, under the
command of Sergeant William Duncan, Of
tho eighth precinct. Everything like in
cipient rowdyism was promptly repressed
before it became matter Of public obser
walton, The police deserve the greater
praise for preventing public annoyance,
rather than putting it down after it had
become apparent. In fact, Sergeant Dun
can I'VE hope soon to call him capts.inl is
one of the best othcers on the force and
there ls no greater proof of this than the
appreciation and good will he has had from

ciliation must rest, the welfare and happi-
ness of nations having mOnarchlcal form
of government, the bonds Of close friend
shin and the cordial relations which have
always existed between Spain and tho
United States lead me to hope that they
will now still be more closely drawn, to
which. Mr.. President, l shall make every
effort in accordance with my duty as the
representative of tho wishes of his Majesty
the King. | must express to you before
concluding my profound and sincere thanks
for the proofs Of good will which you have
shown me while have had the good fortune
to be in this republic, accredited, near your
person, as Minister of Spain.
The President made the following reply:
Mr.. Roberts, l congratulate you upon the
mark Of the continued confidence OF your
government which the new credentials pre-
sented by you evince: This congratulatl0n
may be the more cordial, as it confirms tho
general opinion Of your course during your
past official residence here-a course distin-
guished by zeal and fidelity to your
own country, and by courtesy and
consideration toward that to which you
have been accredited. The recent changes
in public persons and officers in Spain are
understood to have been SO amply sane
toned by the popular will that they must
be entirely acquiesced in, especially In
countries whose governments repOse upon
a similar basis. l heartily desire that the
new order of things there may tend to
strengthen the bonds Of amity and good
will which have always been maintained
between our respective countries, and that
the United States may never forget that
Spain was their useful friend at an early
and critical period of their career.

F0fty.
w. Jasper Blackburn, in a letter from
New CLEANS to the Homer Uiod concludes
in this manner:
believe the best hope of the future is in
the unity and publication Of the Repub-
lican party; and l believe the best thing
that can be done ia for the good men Of the
country-not the old corrupt and irredeem-
able party hacks and fOssils-tO rally on
Governor WarmOth and make him the
leader and champion of our countrys
cause He has all the essential elements to
start with at least believe 80; and should
he be found to lack in any minor particu-
lar, his hands can be "upheld till the battle
is overland afterward, too, if necessary.
He has ability, energy and honor. Some
may doubt the latter element, but l do not,
and think / know him as well as any
man, at least in Louisiana Not one man
in ten thousand would have done better or
succeeded better, under all the circum-
stances, than has Governor Warmoth.
Then, say, let him be the leader of a
united and regenerated Republican party
il our future struggles in this State for the
thorough triumph and vindicatiOn of merit
over demerit; honor and honesty over du
plcity, fraud and thievery; brains over
ignorance, and virtue over vice. And this
work need not be delayed until the next
general election. Let it commence in the
matter of appointment to Office, and in the
matter of general countenance and favor in
every respect. Let those who are known
to be dishonest and disreputable, and who
sell ther conscience and their ill-gotten in
fluence for pelf, and to rob the State, be
made to take back seats. and let them be
Stunned as lepers or wild beasts. When
they come to the portals OF power, let the
peremptory refusal, instead of giving them
entrance, while honest merit stands back in
tho cold, unheard and unrequted. Let
there be no "Hatch-ways' to the Governors
