the Fusion Legislature, has very few pleas

Orleans and its people with a righ. good

very wide of the r4ark Somehow or other
he can't seem to get the right focus; but
then his fling at his political friends in this
city IS just as refreshing:

Our Steamship Interest,

Every month. and sometimes twice a
month this season, it has been our pleasant
duty to welcome to this port new steam
ship, If not built expressly for the New Or
leans trade, intended to call here for
European cargo during our busy season.
On Saturday last the trim little steamship
Ponce plowed the muddy waters OF the
Mississippi river for the first time; and the
acknowledgment of a sincere greeting is
given her By as high a rate O. freight as
has oeen paid this season,
This fine steamer. of about 800 tons meas
urement and 1900 bales capacity. was built
on the Clyde the past year, especially for
the Liverpool, Porto Rico and New Orleans
trade, to run in conjunction with the steamer
Porto Rico which left here month since
Their cargoes to the West Indies consist
chiefly of plantation machinery and sup
plies. This is soon landed with all the
steam hosting Improvements now IN vogue
The supply OF coal is sufficient ballast to
bring these vessels here with safety, and al
the economical rate the compound engine
is run at the present day, this ship can
make her passages nearly as cheap as the
sailing vessels, and in one-third the time.
Mr.. Lacombe, of the firm OF J. A. BrysOn
& Co., the agent informs US that there viii
be two more ships added to the line before
fall, and all four built with an eye to large
carrying capacity on small draft OF water
in fact, fine grain ships.
The Ponce will draw only fourteen feet
of water cotton loaded. The dispatch
given this ship speaks we'll for her man
agement. She will leave here positively on
Saturday, just one week from the day of
her arrival, with the snug little sum of
$i7 900 freight money to her credit.
A fleet of fifty sail of just such craft
would be God-send 20 Louisiana to-day
Perhaps it would tend to lower freigats a
little. but it would give employment to
hundreds, yes, thousands of men who are
worthy of better fate than aon-emp mplov
ment, besides again start the produce down
our mighty river" that has been checked
in consequence of our tull warehouses and
lack OF tonnage to export it.

The Political Situation

The New Orleans correspondent Of Ihe
Cincinnati Enquirer (DemocratJ. is ev-
IDENTIFY we'll informed in our affairs, and
although his political bias has some inau
ence ol his style, the following extract is
very nearly correct:
The de foSto government IS running along
quietly now. The fact that the warrants of
the Kellogg government are worth eighty
cents on the dollar shows that capital,
always timid, yet very observing. has
reached the conclusion that de fnctO gov
ernments down here are more than ao Tatch
for the de j'sre. Public excitement seems
in great measure to have died out. The
Northern merchant is too busy over his
balance sheet to take much stock in these
distant ouarrels. and distant politicians are
absorbed in their own local matters, and
thus the matter seems practically ended.
The McEnery government seemed to 90 out
suddenly in the smoke of jackson square.
Financial relations are being rapidly estab-
lished by Governor Kellogg; the whole ma
chiIery is in motion; nothing but force can
avail anything; the people. tSred Of commo-

The honorable Secretary Of War, accom-
panied by the Lieutenant General Of the
army, is now IN this city, en- route from the
Mexican frontier to Washington.
The Secretary is very anxious, on account
of the threatening aspect of Indian affairs,
to return to Washington and direct the
movement of troops to the frontier for the
repression of what now seems possible-a
general Indian outbreak. On his arrival
here he finds another matter Of great I'M
portance demanding his personal attention
He finds the outlet of the valley o. the
Mississippi-for the improvement OF which
his department is directly responsible
completely blockaded by private corpora
ton, the efforts of his subordinates impeded,
the results of his work destroyed, ana the
interest of millions who depend thereon set
at naught.
Shortly after his arrival here yesterday
he was waited upon by j. II. Oglesby, Esq
president of the Chamber of Commerce
with the committee of that body on ob-
sGructions; a committee from the Cotton
Exchange, headed by Mr.. Phelps. and a
delegation from the Board of Underwriters,
headed by Mr.. Adams, who urgently called
the Secretary's attention to this matter
General Belknap not being able to give
this matter his personal attention, re-
terred the gentlemen to Major Howell,
who was also present, requesting
them to make personal examination
of the bar and report their wishes in
the matter, with such recommendations
as they might deem proper. meantime in
structing the major to furnish them with
transportation to and from the passes
Whatever they pight suggest the Secretary
promised should receive careful cons:le-a-

ence in their behalf.
Major Howell has already made ar
rangements in accordance with the wishes
of the Secretary, and will to-day issue in
vitations for the trip.

Mock VENIsoN.-Cut nice piece of
corned beef in thin slices, and soak
three or four hours in tepid water,
changing the water often. Be sure and
have plenty of water to soak it in.
When sufficiently freshened, drain,
wipe dry, put on hot gridiron, and
boil quickly turning it often only
enough to be fully hot through. Make
a gravy of drawn butter; add a little
pepper; taste before adding salt; add
the yolk of an egg, boiled hard and
chopped fine, and, if agreeable, little
boiled onion and pour over it; OF
simply butter and pepper, and little
salt-as for beefsteak. This is an ex-
cellent dish, when so situated as to
have little opportunity for fresh meat;
but fresh beefsteak thus seasoned
is better.
