ance parties being notified were soon on
the ground. The door was broken

the flames with a fire extinguisher, but
without success. The fire department
was soon present and the fire was ex,
tinguished before it had extended be,
yond the first floor. The fixtures were
badly damaged and the stock was en-,
tirely ruined. Mr.. Mintz declared that
his stock was valued at $4,000, upon

One Of the most remarkable schemes
for controlling the whisky market ever
known is now being discussed by the
convention Of seventy-fve or more
distillers in Chicago. The session is
secret and the doors are guarded, but it
is known that they propose to form all
the principal distillers in the country
into mammoth stock company, to be
controlled by a board, which shall de-
eide the amount of whisky to be manu-
factured and the price, and divide the
profits on a basis of the value Of the
distillery. Charles Tallman, Of New
York, presides over the convention.

Astor House on Monday, to take action
in relation to the regulation of prices
and to consider the general interests OF

proximo, without taking any definite
action. Before the date mentioned
Congress will probably have adjourned

number, OF those interested in the iron
trade, will be present than attended the
first session.

OFFICE OF THE DAILY REPUBLICAN, !
SATURDAY MORNING, July / 1871.

WEATHER, BUSINESS. ETC.-Yesterday
morning opened up clear and bright and
very hot, but toward noon heavy clouds
commenced moving, and we had de-
Hghtful refreshing shower from the North,
but it was of short duration, and it finally
cleared off hot as ever.
Business on the landing fell off to its old
standard, and looked duller than ever.
with the exception of the discharging boats
completing their cargoes. The loading boats
were doing but very little indeed and all
seemed to look gloomy and sad at their
poor prospects for trip that would paw
them.
The arrivals were only the W s. Pike
from Vicksburg, Tidal Wave from Jeffer-
son, and Lessie Taylor from Opelousas.
The departures were the Wade Hampton
for Natchez, Frolic. for upper coast, and
the John Kyle, for st. Louis, with fair
trip of passengers, hut very little freight.
From a private telegram we learn that
there is but four and half feet water at
Jefferson, and the bayou falling rapidly.
The Oceanus, from Jefferson, discharged
her cargo Thursday night, and without
waiting for any up freight, left Immediately
for st. Louis.
The river is still falling rapidly at this
point, and the prospects are good that we
will soon have low water in all our lower
rivers and bayous.
By telegram from Shreveport to r. F.
Britton, we learn that the La Belle, Captain
ID. d. Daniels, will arrive here Sunday, and
leave again on Tuesday, July 4, for Shreve-
port and Jefferson, making regular weekly
trips thereafter.
We were glad to greet our old friend John
A. Stevenson. to-day ON his return from st.
Louis, to which city he had paid brief
visit solely on business. He informs us
matters look very dull in st. Louis for
steamboat interests, but that his line, the
Merchants Southern, are determined to
keep their boats running at all hazards dur
ing the entire summer, hoping to make up
for it in the tall.
In our notice yesterday of the case of
Mike Pyne VS.. Samuel Ayles, of the
Natchez, we desire to correct a Topographic
cal omission which occurred, whereby Mr..
Ayles was not only triumphantly but hon.
orably acquitted by the United States Com
missioner, before whom he was tried in
Memphis. We make this correction as an
act of justice to Mr.. Ayles.
BY telegram to n. o. Donohue we
learned that the iron steamer John t. Moore,
Captain w. L. Boardman, would arrive
last night and be found at the landing this
morning, ready to receive freight and pas
sengers, to leave this evening, at p. NJ, for
Shreveport and Jefferson
The Era No. 10, Captain C. P. Truslow,
will be brought to the landing next week, to
load for Shreveport and jefferson. Our
friend, George {. Hamilton, will have charge
of the Office.
Captain W. c. Harrison informs us that
he will take charge of the d. L. Tally as
soon as she returns from Camden, and will
Immediately place her in the Red river
trade, to leave on Tuesday, July 4, for
Shreveport and Jefferson.
We were pleased to meet on our streets
Captain j. T. Roots, looking in fine health
