Thousand Dollars Loss.
| New YORK, December 1.-THE Fifth
Avenue Hotel caught fire in the laundry.
| Six women were fatally burned and two
seriously. There was great excitement
| among the guests.
The fire was in the cockloft, which was
occupied by the laundry women and domes-
tics. Sixteen bodies were found burned
beyond recognition. Several bodies were
found near the only window in the room
which was barred. Tho only means of es
cape was by the stairway, which was In
flames.
The victims had to wait for death. 1t is
hoped many died while asleep.
Twenty-Five bodies were recovered up to
two o'clock.
The fire originated in the elevator leading
to the laundry
None Of the five hundred guests are re-
ported injured.
The loss by the fire and water is proba-
bly, over 100000.
The smoke was suffocating Water
drenched the floors. The halls were filled
with baggage and clothes. Seventy or
eighty servants escaped.
There are eleven bodies at the morpue
from the Fifth Avenue Hotel fire only two
have been recognized; all give signs of ter
riblo suffering. Mary Heany, one of the
servants of the hotel, is at Bellevue Hospi-
tai, having been injured by falling through
the fire escape. She states that when the
alarm OF fire was given she ran and knocked
at nearly all the doors Of the other servants
and burst open two of them. She then
tried to get down stairs, but the smoke and
flames drove her back, when, with Mary
Turney and Bridget Curtis, she broke open
o skylight and got out on the roof, remain

AN ENORMOUS SLICE OF FAT
BAD BEGINNING FOR REFoRmERs
$4,000 for Registration Blanks

The story of the way in which the State
treasury has been raided for the purpose OF
carrying the fusion ticket is of too much
public Importance to be suppressed. It is
wonderful how the keen-scented brokers of
Carondelet street manage to nose out such
secrets, but they do; and they tell this with
circumstantiaIity of detail that impresses
the listener with conviction of truth
The bills for printing, etc., of w. A.
Weed & Co., as originally made out,
amounted to eighty thousand dollars. but
additions and alterations were made to
cover other election expenses until after
weeks hard work, the totals were swellod
to the enormous amount of one hundred
and thirty thousand d0Ndrsi
This is an outlay FIVE thousand dollars in
excess of the amount allowed the official
printer for an entire years printing of the
laws and various public documents and all
the mass of promulgations in the official
organ.
Practical men have made calculations OF
the amour t necessary to lr.nt and prepare
all the books, blanks aud circulars neces-
sary for carrying on the election and regis
tration, and declare that $4,000 in war
rants would be extravagant.
Legislative joint committee is necessary
to at once investigate these accusations
against the officials implicated, in order
that they may be exoulpated from such
grave offenses against the State if innocent,
or that the public treasury may be pro-
tected from robbery. It is to be expected
that Auditor Graham if all the warrants
have not been issued, will suspend action
on bills pending until such examination can
be made.
AS matters now lock, the "Cbildren of
Louisiana" as the Times sarcastieaIIy dubs
our citizens, may conclude that the gentle
men from Connecticut have weeded the
treasury pretty thoroughly.

OGDEN's WILD GOOSE CHASE
HIS GUN NOT EVEN LOADED
The Downy Bird Beyond its Altitude

The "great expectations of Pip, were as
nothing to those built by the revolu tionists
| upon the results of Mr.. Ogden's visit to
| Washington. But he has wasted several
days, and as yet is standing out in the cold,
not having crossed the threshold of the
Supreme Court.
His dispatches and the confused state
ments of the press reporters, which, ana
lyzed, really have no meaning beyond the
expression Of individual sentiments, induced
prominent citizen yesterday to telegraph
to Hon Thomas j. Durant to this effect:
New ORLEANS, December II. 1872.
T. Thomas J. Durant Esq, Washington:
What is the nature of the suit of Ogden ?
The answer promptly came as follows:
WASHINGTON, D. c., December II, 1872.
To---, + ew Orleans, La:
For leave to file a rule against Dureu niSi
for prohibition.
THOMAS j. DURANT.
And this is all. He dispatched that to-
day THE Associated Press dispatch says on
Monday next, Mr. Ogden will have the
felicity of arguing in favor Of his right to
file an application for rule 'aiSj for Judge
Durell to show cause why he should not be
prohibited, etc. Provided he gets this gra-
cious permission, at some day thereafter to
be fixed, he may be granted the further
privilege to argue for the issuance of the
rule-and get it, should Judge Durell or
his representatives be so unfortunate as to
fail in convincing the court of the improvi-
dence of such proceeding.
In month or two we hope Mr. Ogden
will write to his expectant felIow-fusionists
how be is getting along in the "City of
Magnificent Distances" 1t may be further
interesting to these great expectants to
know that Attorney General Field has been
authoritatively informed that his presence
in Washington is not now needed

The State militia were put under arms
yesterday, by order of Brgadler General
Walton, ito protect their armory against
all comers." There are two companies under
arms, the infantry under command of Cap
tain Grandjean, the artillery under Cap
tain Peck, sentinels posted and all that sort
of thing. A reporter visited them last
night, was duly halted by a sentinel, posted
in the entrance Of Davidson Court, and
told "to advance and give the countersign,"
Failing in this, the corporal of the guard
was called and the reporter escorted
"within the lines" Here Captain Peck
said, 1--WE don't recognize Pinchbaclz," and
on further inquiry, it was developed "wo
don't recognize Longstreet either; we only
recognize Brigadier General Walton, and
we have no orders except to protect our
armory." Now rer5uns sal, and the reporter
was satisfied that the militia are sleeping
