A Good Word for andrew johnson
IL. .Ir,n..IIl.. Chrt,nI 1 Il..ntll,

Whatever opinion any one may have entertain
ed as to the propriety of sending ex President
johnson to Congress from this State, 1t must be
conceded 10y ali except Bourbons that his canvass
of the State has been productive OF good Moth
ing else could have 80 thoroughly shaken and
demorallzed the proscriptiye wing OF the Demo-
GRATIS Party, led by Isham Harris and his
colaborers, as the sht made by Johnson. I'm
der the circumstances there is no man in the State
perhaps. that could have done it 30 etfectualy
AS he has, and for this he is entitled to the graf
itude OF all conservative men. He has made the
light against the same powerful combination
that forced the people OF Tennessee in 1861 to
attempt severance Of their connection with the
Federal Government. He has aided in the defeat
OF this wicked combination, and for this he will
be held in grateful remembrance.

ORIGIN OF THE FIRE-THE BUILDINGS DESTROYED
LOSS AND INSURANCE.
PHLADELpHIA, Nov. 15.
The fire at Disston's saw works originated
from the explosion of an oil can.
Three buildings were destroyed, valued, with
contents, at one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, and insured for one hundred and fifty
six thousand dollars.
-Four other buildings, belonging to the works,
were saved by the firemen.
The establishment was doing business of two
million dollars per annum. The present disas =
ter will cause merely a temporary Inconvenience.
The works covered nearly all the square,
bounded by Front, Haydock, Carol and Laurel
streets, and gave employment to 1000 workmen n.

WILMINGTON MOROCCO MARKET - INFLUENCE OF
THE BOSTON FIRE.
The amount owing by Boston morocco deal
ers, burned out in the recent fire, to Wilmington
manufacturers is not under 800 600, and proba-
bly, exceeds that sum. None of this, we are as
surred is likely to be lost The Boston men are
in the best OF Spirits and their creditors will
make them all needful concessions, in order to
prevent embarrassment.
Concerning the firms which buy largely here,
we present the following details
George T. Clark, High street, loss S65, 900 I;
insurance 100000 will probably get S450 900.
L. Beebe, Pearl street loss $75, 900, insured for
$4,000 will get half the amount insured.
Hubbard d Blake, High street, loss $40, 900 /;
will realize $15,0 900 insurance.
George Breed, High street. will meet all liabil-
ities though his loss is heavy.
William Hurd, High street, loss not large in
amount; will meet all liabilities.
White, Osborn & Co., the same statement
applies.
il. Kitfeld & Son, loss quite heavy, and pros
pect not definitely ascertalned.
All these firms intend to resume BUSINESS and
nearly all have already secured stores. Mr.
White of White, Osborn d Co., rented an old
hotel building, before the fire was over, aud has
found enough demand for the room not needed
by his firm, to realize $10,000 annually, in rents
clear of his own occupancy.
The condition of the morocco market, before
the fire. was very encouraging, and heavy sales
had been made within a few days. The great
destruction OF stocks, however, caused an imme-
diate advance in hastings, in the Boston market,
Of about 10 per cent, producing similar ad-
vance in all goods used in the manufacture Of
shoes, including sole leather.
The morocco market, here, is therefore, very
active and low grades of stock have all been
bought up for Boston houses. number of
buyers came here, at once, after the fire. The
various grades of stock have sustained an ad-
vance in price of 5 to 10 per cent.

When the Liberal convention was in ses-

make any fusion with it. General Hugh

speech, divided the Pinchback Republican
convention, and with his wing adopted the

were all filed when he did this, and he
asked for nothing, though his services Mad

being forced, the Democratic committee
expressly granted to the Liberal committee
the right To nominate the candidate for the

abilities and the great services he had rem

JOINT REsOLUTION

Relative to the removal of duty from rice
by the Congress of the United States,
and instructing our Senators and Repre-
sentatives relative thereto.
WHEREAS, The Congress Of the United
States of America are contemplating, in
the readiusting of the national rariff, to re-
move tax or duty from rice, which act
materially affects one of the largest pro-
ductiye interests of our State, and other
wise fails in the first duty of government
IN the protection of its material interests
by the enforcement of healthy revenue
laws in the interest of protection to Amer
lean industry; therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives Of the State of Louisi-
ana in General Assembly convened, That,
in the deliberate judgment of the General
Assembly thereof, it would be an unjust
measure and against sound public policy
for the Congress of the United States of
AmeRica to remove the duty or tax on rice
at this time, in view Of the large national
debt, and the depressing condition of the
business interest and agricultural industry
of the South. Therefore, we instruct the
Senators and request our Representatives
in Congress to oppose all such legislation
at this time, and that the Governor Of this
State is hereby requested to communicate
this joint resolution to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, so that they
may take prompt action thereon in the in
terest Of the people of the State of Louisi-
ana.
Adopted in General Assembly, in the city
of New Orleans, ON the twelfth day of Feb
