NEW ORLEANS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2S 1872.
THE CITY HALL.

The funding bill takes precedence OF all
other subjects of interest at the Hall. Dur
ing the forenoon of yesterday the Admins
traitors in body were at the State House,
urging its passage through the General
Assembly. The one they favor is thought
to be the best that can be procured. 1t is
true that individual opinion varies greatly,
and any measure, if adopted, will have to
be the result of compromise. The great
rate of interest the present bill allows is a
chief objection, but this, it is believed, can
be overcome, or so modified as to render
it's acceptance possible.
The Council meeting yesterday was post
poned until three o'clock. The business
before it was deemed of less Importance
than the measures relating to municipal
affairs that we're up before the Legislature.
Several ordinances relating to improve
ments and matters Of general interest were
up. Nothing, however, of any very great
Importance was done.
TIE work of covering the levee with lake
shells is still progressing, and it is thought
that during the present fair weather thou
sands of barrels will be thus distributed.
In April next the City Administrators
will elect six recorders, the terms of those
now in office, by either appointment or
election, expiring at that time.
Administrator Walton is acting as Mayor
ad interim during the illness of Mr.. Elan

Chase in that case. The result of this de-
cision is, that although claimant in the
Court of Claims must, under tie
act of March 3, 1868, aver in his
petition that he has at all times borne
true faith and allegiance to the govern
ment of the United States, and has
never voluntarily given aid, comfort or as
sistance to the rebellion against said gov
ernment, he is yet not compelled to prove
this allegation. for it he lived in an insurrec-
tionary district, the law presumes that the
pardon and amnesty extended to him by the
proclamation of December IS, 1868, was in
tended for him, and, of course, wiped out all
his ortense; and it he lived in district not
sumes his loyalty, and he needs no pardon.
In answer to the many applications for
seeds from the Carolinas and Gulf States,
the Agricultural Department requests that
statement be made that the advanced
season would render another distribution
comparatively valueless. The department
has been almost exclusively worked for
that section for several months past.
The Cabinet considered Lord Granville's
note today without taking final action.
Some members urged a modification in
Secretary Fish's draft to avoid the possi-
bility OF giving needless offense.
The Star says it is probable there will be
three reports from the New Orleans con-
gressienal Investigating committee-one
from Messrs. Scofield and McCrary, indi-
rectly censuring the federal officials, and
by implication opposing Warmoth; another
from MIR. Smith, attacking Warmoth and
defending the United States officers; while
the Democrats, Messrs. Speer and Archer
will report against both wings of the Re-
publican party.

A Good Man Dead.

The community sustained severe loss
yesterday-one in which surprise could
but briefly drown the sincerest and heart
felt grief. Charley Culbertson is dead.'
was the tear-ladened message that friend
conveyed to friend, and which stirred the
kindest synpathies of every one who heard
it.
Major c. w. Culbertson was universally
known in New Oeleans, and known only to
be loved and respected. OF Pennsylvania
origin, but bred among the French Creole
class OF our people, he was truly repre-
sentative man. His noble qualities, high
sense of honor and kindly, generous nature
made him naturally leader, and while
his political tendencies were of the strong
est Southern Democratic type, he never
forgot the courtesy and consideration due
to gentlemen of opposing sentiments. But
day OF two ago he expressed to the writer
severest condemnation of the attempt to
break up the Democratic party. which he
loved 50 well, by pretended reformers: but
while he denounced it as a political meas
ure, freely conceded to all the right to their
different opinions. No private citizen in
the community, suddenly snatched away.
would have created wider gap, especially
in the ranks of the young, ardent and pro
gressive class.
Major CulbertsOn was the son-in-law of
our esteemed fellow citizen, Gabriel de
Feriet, and leaves wife and I'VE believe)
three children to mourn his loss. He was
scarcely in the prime Of life, notwithstand-
ing he filled important public trusts nearly
a dozen years ago.
Our heart is. sad with those of the army
of mourners who will follow poor Charley's
mortal remains to their last resting place.

THE ssGREAT AMERICAN BUSTER
HEARD FROM.
he INTENDS TO "BUsT" TEE STATE
GOVERNMENT.
ANOTHER GOVERNOR TO BECOME
HIS VICTIM.

An individual by the name Of Richardson
James E, by his sponsors, if he had any
got of quite joke yesterday. Through
those highly respectable reformers, Esquires
John A. Grow, E. G. Billings and j. b. Cot
ton, warning is issued to Warrant Clerk j.
Pinckney Smith, Lieutenant Governor
Pincbback, Speaker Brewster, Representa-
tive Souer, Auditor Graham, and we don't
know how many others, not to sign war
rants or vouchers, or pay money, as Off
GERS or pretended officers, under any law or
pretended law, passed since January 4,
1872. Judge Woods, they assert. will be
appealed to for an Injunction to carry out
their demand.
This notification from the three wise
men" did not in any way estOp the officials
named from proceeding with their duties,
and the question naturally arises, what will
the complainants do about it! Granting
(which we doubt) that he has any present
knowledge of this little game, how far does
Judge Woods propose to assume control
over State affairs! We can not but regard
it as a poor compliment to the court to at
tempt to drag its ermine into such dirty
transactions.
That such pretended legal documents
we're to be served seemed early known last
evening to certain bummers and lobbyists,
who boasted that two objects would be
accomplished by the proceeding. First, the
fraudulent certificates and vouchers issued
at the session Of last year would have to be
recognized and provided for; and second
the expelled members would have to be re-
stored to their seats and given mileage and
per die N for the entire session. These con-
cessions would cause withdrawal Of the
injunction, but were absolutely necessary
to carry out the Burch- Carter ideas OF re-
form.
The instrument employed - who, Of
course, IS nonresident. but whether a
property holder we would not dare
avouch-is known as the great American
BUSTER" alias Richardson. Some three
months ago ne presented himself to Gov
ernor Warmoth as the correspondent Of the
New York Tribune. He claimed to have
caused the overthrow of Governor NOW
Senator) Clayton, Of Arkansas, and to have
alienated Governor Alcorn, of Mississippi,
from President Grant. What he proposed
to do in Louisiana has not yet been clearly
divulged, for while his interview was pro-
crossing with the Governor the telegraph
had been called into requisition. and the
authoritative announcement received that,
so far as the said Richardson represented
himself as connected with the New York
Tribune, he was a fraud and imposter
The upshot Of this matter will not be
likely to depreciate State credit, stop the
officers notified from discharging their
duties, or bring fame to those engaged but
it is gratifying to Republicans to learn that
their enemies are reduced to such pitiful
resorts in order to annoy them

Lecture by Hon. >. s. Fisher.
The proceedings opened in the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Carondelet street. last
evening, with hymn:
Work for the night is coming
Work thrOugh h the morning hours,
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Werk mid springing flowers.
The sound of the singing having died
away, the Rev. w. V. Tudor delivered a
prayer, when the hymn
love to tell the story
was also sung, the audience, which was a
large and intelligent one, joining in the
chorus. Then followed the exhOrtation of
the lecturer which at first exhibited the
which to make his way in the world, and
then represented the various vicissitudes
and struggles to which he was subjected in
the battle of the wrong against the right.
Feelingly the lecturer alluded to the favor
of fair women lavished on gilded corrup-
ton, while mot to put too fine
point upon it, the honest young man
is left out in the cold. The young mans
entry into business; the temptation Of his
employer; the result Of misdirected ener-
gies; the effect Of familiarizing him with
extravaganza, which leads his mind to sim
liar channels-all these were narrated by
tha~ lecturer in a style which was as en-
phatlc as it was elegant in delivery. With
the various histories and pictures framed
by the speaker and shown to the audience,

benediction was given departed with many
agreeable impressions.

Forney on SchurZ.

The following editorial by Mr.. Forney,
written Immediately after his late return to
Philadelphia, is regarded there as the most
significant Of any since his resignation:
Glittering audiences always attend the
Senatorial drama, and General Carl Schurz
attracted an unusual crowd in his display
of Tuesday. Besides, we must remember
that Washington city is filed with large
body of rebel citizens. The truth is that
the former Southern society has returned to
its old haunts, and anything that operates
against the Republican party and its sue
cess is s'lre to attract them. We are far
from believing that General Schurz is in
sympathy with the Democratic party. He
is too old and too brave soldier against
slavery. That his animOsities have carried
him astray, we have no doubt; that he is
disposed to look at TIE alleged sale Of arms
to the French government with unusual
jealousy is natural. But that, with all his
free trade and amnesty proclivities, he has
ever intended to join the political enemy, we
do not believe. The present agitation in Re
publican circles is simply the clearing OF
the atmosphere; no indication of weakness,
but good sign OF strength, OF reorGanza-
ton, that can permit the fullest investiga
ton into alleged errors, even into the errors
of those who are accepted as its leaders
Suppose the Democratic party in the day of
its supremest power had invited as full an
investigation into the acts OF its leaders,
how long would it have lasted 1t should
be remarked in reference to the exciting
proceedings at Washington, that all the
committees of investigation have been orig
mated by Republicans, and that no one Re
publican has yet been found willing TO de-
clare himself against the Republican nom
inee for President in 1871 In every case
there is Difference to the ultimate tribunal.
one Republican with all his suspicion and
hostility to General Grant or to his Cabinet
ministers, or his private secretaries, has yet
been found bold and brave enough to de-
clare his readiness to oppose the next Re
publican nominee for President.

a man named Dowd, for violating the
rule prohibiting smoking on the street cars,
was elected by the conductors of that and
another car. He charged the conductors
with assault and battery. The Judge heard
the parties in the lobby, and promptly dis
charged the conductors, being of the opinion
that they had used no more force than was
necessary in enforcing proper rules in re-
straint Of refractory passengers.
