HALF \ TOWN DESTROYED BY
FIRE.
siOSS Of A RUPTURE.

thst IN p)lltlcahl view, the ddmlnlstra-
tion has made mistake in respect TO civil
service reform. Not few, like Messrs.

the steps already taken. There is mag
nifcent prospec, of rupture If the presi-
dent stands by his new policy.
THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Col. Mecios, the envoy of the Cuban
republic, has just returned from London,
where he received warm assurances that
the British government would be willing
10 join the United States in intervention
in Cuban Affairs and to grant bellgerent
rights to them.
THE LOUISIANA COMMITTEE.
1t now seems settled that the committee
appointed to visit New Orleans and exam
ine into the causes OF the trouble existing in
the state government will not perform the
duty. The reason given for not carrying
out the instructions Of the house is, that
the disorders have ceased, but it appears
that higher power has interfered. 1t is
stated tha: Mr. Dawes offered the
resolution in accordance with
the desires Of President Grant
but owing to a greater power the president
has suddenly changed front, ard is now
very much opposed to the examination
| proposed. In consequence Of this sudden
hostility of Grant the investigation is to
! be smothered, and the doings Of Collector
Casey, whether Of good or OF evil, are not
permitted to meet the gaze Of the country.
TO BE HEARD FROM.
When the senate investigating commit
tee finish taking evidence, Generals Bab-
cock and Porter intend to publish state
men, regarding the allegations Of their
conection with the custom-house ring.
