Senator Schurz and other Republicans who
are opposed to Q continuance Of the present

Of success is found in the programme. How
such Q convention is to be called, and who

The national Democratic executive CON-

time and place of holding the next conven.
ton. BY that time the policy of the con-

the co-ope ration of the Democratic party
will be fully developed, and the committee
can decide whether it is the wisest course
to issue a call purely and simply for the

The amendments were adopted, and

question of the final passage of the budget.
Administrator Bonzano, Remick, Delas,

Mr.. Walton said he was not willing to
vote on the budget as it stood, unless with
the understanding that 1t was an ordinance
which might be amended or altered. In
other words, he would vote for it if the
Council, by passing it, was not bound to
spend the whole mount. He was in favor
of spending only such money as he could
get, according to the resolutions introduced
by him last year.
Mr.. Lewis said he voted yea on the same

A Washington special to the Louisville
Couyier-Journal saws:

Courier Journal says:
Supervising Architect Mullott, of the
Treasury Department. has returned from
Chicago. He submitted his report to-dat
for the information of the Secretary and
President. The report takes tho strongest
ground in favor of retaining tho federal
Offices in the south division, very near to, il
not upon, the spot where they lately stood.
Mr.. Aullett, from personal observations,
believes the site to be as convenient o. any
the government can select in any other part
OF the city, and that the removal would, in
consequence, be q gratuitous injury to the
property interests in the burned section. In
this there il q concurrence of opinion be-
tween the President, Boutwell, and the SEN
atore and representatives from Illinois, and
Speaker Blame, who, Is the official repre-
sentative in some measure of tho lower
house of Congress, has been using his good
Offices in securing indirect but substantial
aid to the city through an appropriation
large enough to set the United States GUS
tomhouse, courte, postofice, etc.. respect
lively, on their feet. A special bill will be
INTRODUCED early in the coming session, and,
under the influence Of q general sympathy
and admiration for Chicago, will undoubt-
edly paes. With a show of liberality IN
usual in the committee OF appropriations,
assurances have been given that the new
buildings shall be excelled by none owned
bv the government in any part Of the cOun-
Try, In the points of convenience, style,
inish end durability, and that, by complete
ISOLATION from surrounding structures, and
lther approved devices, they shall be per
feet citadels against the assaults of fire.

We learn this from a Washington special
of last Thursday:

In three weeks from to-day the time ex-
] pires in which the one hundred millions of
4 five-twenties can be redeemed, or in other
words, they cease to bear interest from that
date. A letter from the Assistant Secretary
in London says that the five-twenties of 1862
are coming in rapidly for redemption. In
his last annual report, the Secretary, while
asking that three hundred millions Of the
new five per cents be authorized, did not
recommend that the interest be paid in
Europe. Subsequently he urged that course
on Congress and will again submit it in De-
cember.

Mr.. Shaw called up on third reading the

amended to read as follows:
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-11-22

anu competent head, a chief and assistant
engineers, say, whom the city can not give
away the appointment of, for that is part
ing from o control and a responsibility it
has no right, under the charter, to surren.
der. We should not have any politiciaus
in charge Of those Offices, and should give
all the guarantee we have any right to-
BY appointing capable professional fremen
or engineers during our own time of Office.
The eleemosynary features of the Fire.
mems Charitable Association must increase
with time, and will make it uore and moro
dlfhcult to draw the line between it's char
tiles and its expenses as a contractor. This
Ii IN argument why too great an exclusive
duty should not be imposed on it. Its noble
charities, and the zeal and devotion of thu
men who compose the companies, are themes
OF Just praise. l can go as far as any man
here in acknowledging their due; and if I
am to be misunderstood because l have
spoken the foregoing sentiments against this
contract, l will wait until time shall prove the
right or wrong of them. There are a good
many who entertain such ideas; perhaps, in
deed, not a majority. 1t has been remarked
there are W kinds of public opinion-one
for private expression only, which is the
way some of our business men have ore.
ferred to furnish the Mayor with what thew
assured him was the real public opinion.
The firemen doubtless nave as few faults and
as many good qualities as such a number of
men under any organization can be sup-
posed to have. l have gone among them a
good deal since this controversy commenced
and l believe all, or very nearly all. thu
threats and intimidation which have been
talked OF emanate from some of their pre-
tended friends who are not iremen at all.
Mr.. Cockrem voted yea, and the ordi
was declared carried; six yeas, ono
nay.
