A Story of Belmont.

Speaking of Bankers (says
the New York correspondent
of the st. Louis Globe l am re.
minded as the great and good
Abraham Lincoln was so fond
OF saying, oil a little story: Au.
gust Belmont supposed to be
somewhat irrascible at times,
had not long ago a private
secretary, to whom he some
times showed his unamiability.
One morning, in his Wall
street office, the eminent bank
er picked up letter his secre.
tary had written, and, not find-
ing it satisfactory, exclaimed
with much temper, "ThIs IS
wrong again. Dit. have
often told you exactly how
these letters should bewritten."
"Mr. Belmont" remarked the
scribe, rising from his seat, II
do my duty faithfully, and my
salary is not large enough to
enGble me to afford to do my
work and be sworn at besidos."
"Howmuch do you gel9" quoth
Belmont. Fifteen hundred
dollars" was the answer.
"Draw $4,000 and do the work
as | want It'll" Since then the
salary has been regularly pail,
and Belmont swears at his Sec
retary as much as he likes. The
report that the banker wished
to withhold $3.50 for not in.
dulgirg in the luxury of pro-
family during a six months
absence in Europe, is l am au.
thorlzed to say, wholly with
out foundation.

Flanking the Farmers,

A solution to the lranspor
taiion question was offered by
Mr.. Thomas Allen, President
of the Railway Association, at
the meeting Of that body in
New York, recently. He said
the farmers must be fanked by
according them as many of
their demands as possible with,
out injuring railway interests.
Up TO the point of loss, the
railways must reduce their
rates as much as possible
This is certainly d line of at
tack by which the farmer can
be fl mixed without being de
feated, and by which both con-
testants might gain the victo
rY.

CONSOLIDATE,

The Washington correspondent of the
Picayunae is SO overcome with the elo-
quence and logical power of Counselors
Ogden and Mari, that he is totally unable
to give US any ineligible synopsis of
what they said to the Senate Committee.
On the other hand he spares Judge Dibble
in a spirit of charity, by suppressing any
attempt to outline his speech, lest it
seem caricature Doubtless it would
have turned out to be a caricature had he
attempted to repeat it. Now it strikes us
that this is an excess OF courtesy. All
the counsel engaged in the case put them
selves forward as the champions Of cause
on one side or the other, in which hundreds
of thousands Of people are deeply in
terested. If they We're brazen enough to
appear before committee of the highest
tribunal in the world with arguments which
would appear caricatures, if faithfully re-
ported, they do not deserve such over
whelming consideration, especially from
a political opponent. As friend Of Judge
Dibble, and firm believer in his discre-
ton, we earnestly request the Picayune
correspondent to send US a verbatim re-
port of the speech which he, with an ex-
cess of magnanimity, elects to withhold.
But how does it happen that with a
good cause and such fearfully able argu-
ments as Messrs. Mari and Ogden's efforts
are described to be, there was no better
result before the committee. No one was
seriously affected one way or the other
The Democrats on the committee voted
under instructions from home. Senators
Alcorn and Carpenter were led off last
winter by circumstances which it is not
our intention to refer to now, and one of
them has los. caste with his own party
since. No argument then was needed to
persuade either Of these four named gen.

THE LABOR QUESTION IN ST. MARY.

There appears to be some danger APP

amicable relations which exist in ST. Mary

other day a brief statement of the situa-
ton, including the rates to which the
former desire to reduce the rates of pay.
The writer is evidently friendly to the
laborers, and appeared in their interest.
Heregards any combination of the planters
for the purpose of forcing reduction of
wages with disfavor. He presented what
we consider convincing reasons against
the proposed combination Of capital
against labor, and gave the new scale of
prices which, according to his under
standing, the parties who met at Harker's

THE SUIT AGAINST THE TEXAS RAIL
ROAD COMPANY.

The Picayune yesterday laid before its
readers statement regarding the suit
recently instituted against the New Or
leans, Mobile and Texas Railroad Com
pany, in which it is asserted that Messrs.
Semmes & Mott have been intrusted by
Governor Kellogg
To make the best arrangements which will
effect the prosecution and completion of
railroad connections between this city and
Texas. These counselors are authorized to
make any compromises or engagements
which will tend to the object of effecting
this great result.
We are assured by the Governor that
this is entirely incorrect. Messrs. Semmes
& Mott have been employed as counsel
to prosecute the suit against the company,
not as commissioners with powers to make
terms. They would probably hesitate to
accept such trust as is imputed to them
by the Picayaloe, as they have their time
fully occupied with the regular business
of their profession.
