Ranauette Inspectors.

The Picayune of Thursday morning asks:
Is it true that there has been within a
few weeks large increase in the pay roll
of the Department of improvements, at the
City Hall 2 1t is reported that a new class
OF employees has been created by Mr.. Cock
rem, called "Banquette Inspectors" and
that 500 of them have been appointed at a
salary of $3.50 per month. These men will
make excellent voters on election day.
The fact is that the number of these in
speetors is very much underestimated. The
Second District squad, who do duty at the
corner of Canal and Royal streets from
eleven to three O'Clock every fair day, num-
bers nearly as many as the. paragraph al
lows to the whole city. We doubt, how
ever, if Mr.. Cockrem has Their. names on
his rolls, and the matter of pay is still more
Questionable

Death Of an Old steambontmnn.

Captain T. C. Holmes died on tire twelfth
instant at his residence in MiddIeborough,
Massachusetts,, Captain Holmes, for many
years previous to the war, commanded
many of our first class Vieksburg packets.
The last one on which he was engaged was
the renowned Princess. which packet, it will
be remembered, made the fastest time be
tween this port and Natchez-. seventeen
hours and thirty minutes-which was not
beaten until the recent runs Of the r. E. Lee
and Natchez, ANA during the present season
he made few trips on the R. E, Lee in the
absence of. Captain Cannon. Thus, one by
one our old time boatnen leave us.

Denth Of Prssldent Juarez.

| Our latest dispatches from the Rio Grande
bring us the news Of the sudden death OF
Benito Juarez, President of Mexico.
The death of this great man is a calamity
alike TO our nation as his own, for his peO-
pie will hardly find man Of the nerve, de-
termin alton, sound judgment and liberal
views to succeed to the control of that most
uncomfortable nation. who will maintain
the same just relations with our nation and
people. Certainly not in Lerdo de Tejada,
the Jesuit, who succeeds to the Presidency
of the republic.
Benito Juarez was a full-blooded Indian,
from the mountains of Oaxaca, and was
probably about sixty-fve years Of age. His
life has been for the past thirty years part
of the history of Mexico. Some twenty
years ago, then the leader of the liberal
party in Mexico next to COmonfort, a revO-
luton banished him, and he was an exile in
our city, and the building still stands on
s.. Ann street where he and his chosen
friend O'Campo supported themselves by
making cigarettes.
As Chief Justice of Mexico, when COmOn-
fort was assassinated, he became President,
even as Lerdo de Tejada succeeds him now,
, 1t was during his first term of Office that
the allied European powers invaded Mex
leo, crowded him to the frontier town of Ell
Paso, and left Maximilian Emperor of the
nation. The details of the struggle, which
ended in the shooting of Maximilian, Mejia
and MiramOn at QIeretarO in 1869, and the
re establishment Of Juarez in the national
palace at Mexico, are still fresh in the mind
of our readers and need not be recapitu-
lated here. He was reelected President a
short time afterwards, and again few
months ago. But his term Of office has
been far from peaceful one, governing, as
he did, people whose normal condition is
warfare. His most skillful and confidential
generals, POrfrio Diaz and Treyino, pro-
nounced against him; but he died on the
eve of triumphing over all of them.
He possessed all of an Indians relentless
hatred of his enemies, as the melancholy
histories Of VidaurrI and O'Horan bear wit |
ness; yet lie was gentle-hearted and kind |
as woman to those he loved He was
hard worker. Daylight almost always |
found him at his desk, and at midnight lie |
rarely had deserted it. Having men about |
him in whom he could not place implicit |
confidence, almost all the cares of state de-
volved upon him. He literally worked him
self to death, and died in the harness. We |
can just now recall the case Of no other
ruler of Mexico, since she became an indie
pendent nation in 1921, who has served out
the term Of his election, or died peacefully
in office.
He ruled his people with. an iron hand,
but they could be ruled no other way.
The absolutism of the Gar Of all the
Russias was not more arbitrary than tue
of Juarez.
And now that he is dead, we predict
continued and continual internal wars until
poor impoverished Mexico, to save herself,
will lose herself in us.

Railroad to be Changed to Narrow Gauge

Among the improvements contemplated
by the new directors of the Erie Railroad
Company is change from the broad gauge
Of six feet to the narrow gauge Of four feet
nine inches. This proposed alteration will
be made gradually, apd third rail will be
placed between the old rails The new
rolling stock will be supplied as fast as the
old stock wears out. Meanwhile, the broad
gauge wilThe used, but all new locomotives
and cars viii be of the other pattern. Both
gauges will be used for four or five years.
The running expenses will be largely re-
duced by the use of the narrow gauge roll
ing stock. The Atlantic and Great West
ern Railway Company is now laying mar
row gauge track, and this renders the
change Of the Erie gage imperative.

The Stampede from Grant 10 Greeley.
This is special to the St. Louis Repub-
Hcan:
New YORK, July 22-Wallace Tappan,
of Syracuse, Of the Republican State Com
mittee, Is the third member of that commit
tee to formally resign and go over to Gree
ley, the others being Messrs. Rockwell
and Tabor. Three other members of the
committee, General E. A, Merritt, of St
Lawrence, D. y. S. Brown, of Monroe, and
Henry Clark, OF Chatuaqua, have been dis
placed from the committee without any
resignation, because they announced their
intention OF support ng Greeley.
The following is a part of Mr.. Tappan's
letter:
No one who knows Horace Greeley can
doubt his integrity, his intelligence, his
general political knowledge, his sincere mo-
tives, his great efforts in behalf OF reform,
his untIinching advocacy of that which he
claims to be right. No honest man can or
dare charge that he is corrupt, that he even
took a bribe, that he ever lent himself to
base men or any base scheme. His prinei
pies are very much above the. standard of
those possessed by the present incumbentOf Of
the White House, politically and socially.

The r. E. Lees and the Lone Stars

/
The R. E. Lees returnedsto St. Louis from
Chicago, where they could not get game
and last Monday played their second match
game with the Empire nine, by whom they
were previously defeated by a score Of II
to s. The. St. Louis Democrat reports the
game of Monday as follows:
| The Empires played their return game
| with the r. E. Lees, of New Orleans, ycster-
| day afternoon, at the Base Ball Park. The
| first game OF the series was played a week
| ago last Sunday, when. after a very prettily
| contested game, the Empires vanQuished
their visitors by the score of l6 to 6. After
! their game here, the r. E. Lees Journey
| West as far as Kansas City, where, on Tues
| day, they met the Mutuals of that city, and
easily defeated them by the score of 81 to IL.
The game yesterday was witnessed by a
large audience, Notwithstanding the unset
| tied condition of the weather. The recent
rains had only rendered the grounds cleaner
and smoother, save in occasional bellows
where embryo lakes had formed. The CON
test was a rare exhibition of skill on the
/ part of the Empires, and but for a slight
disqualification in the second inning, the
Lees would have scored but one run. As
it was, they reaped seven blanks out of the
nine innings. The play of the visitors was
only ordinary, ard that of Levi at short
field, and Baxter at third base. was exc
cradle.
The score was7 for the R. E, Lees to IA
for the Empires.
1t is stated by private dispatches that the
announced return match at Chicago for
Wednesday, between the Lone Stars and
Riversides of Evansville, Indiana, was not
played, owing to the nOn-arrival of the lat
ter club. A few Of the Lone Star players
took part in match between picked nine
and the newly organized Actives, of Chi
cago. From the'same source it is cleaned
that the Stars did not play yesterday, but
today will engage the Actives. The club
has been organized from the disbanded
Etnas, and includes Tom Foley, Brannock,
Atwater, Barstow (ot the Rockford nine of
10Y, Sawyer lOf the Libertys, '70J, Lapham
and other old Etna players, who will make
it warm" for the New Orleans nine.
Failing to get satisfactory railroad rates
to the East, the Stars have abandoned their
trip to Cleveland, New York, etc, and will
continue their tour to the Northwest, play
ing after Chicago in St. Louis again, where,
on Sunday next, thev viii meet either the
Varieties or Empire clubs, which has not
yet been decided Thereafter they will
probably revisit Evansville to play the
Riversides, and thence to Cincinnati, Nash
vile and other cities.

international Prison CONGRESS.

This IS a special to the St. Louis Repab-
Zicuu:
New YORK, July 22.-At last English ad-
vices'the International Prison Congress was
still in the early stages of debate. On the
evening of July the English committee
gave a reception to foreign delegates, at
which the Prince 'of Wales was present as
an invited guest. At the session Of congress
on July IL, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, of New
York, remarked that she would say one
word about the rehabilitation of her own
sex, and that was, she could wish the tech
nical and unjust phrase, the fallen
woman" should be struck out of the delib-
eratiOns Of such body as that congress,
All who sinned might be considered fallen,
and she must beg them to remember that
every woman who was so stigmatized and
spoken OF as fallen, was associated with and
represented another fallen human being
who was an accOmplice; and who was not,
as she was liable to be held up to human
scOrn. Loud and continued applause

This is special to the st. Louis Repub-
Ecaa:
New YORK, July 2O.-ActiVity prevails
at the BroOk4y Il navy yard, but for presiden-
tial rather than international reasons. The
force Of 600 men has been increased to
l400 voters. The number will shortly be
1000. A large delegation of Grant pOlit;-
clans visited the yard On Thursday, and
commenced with the heads Of departments.
although the Secretary of the Navy gave
notice. in a recent circular, that no pOliti-
clan should be allowed TO make appoint
ments; and that political canvassing should
be prohibited in the navy yards. Yet the
majority of the men who have been en-
plOyed are those who support the present
administration, and who have obtained EN-
plOymept through political influence. Me
chanics apply for situations TO the master
mechanics, who, through fear of losing
their own places, are forced to fill up their
requisiuOn lists with politicians favorites,
many OF whom have never done a days
work in any trade.

A New Yorker Just returned from Missis-
sippi says that the secret Of Southern en-
thusiasm for Greeley is the confident belief
of the people that they will get paid for
their emancipated slaves if he is elected.
Horace, they say, is in favor Of justice being
done them, and justice they understand to
be the price of their lost chattels.
