The steamers Yazoo, Juniata, Germania
and Havana, from New Orleans, are still
compelled to remain in quarantine here.
although there are no cases of sickness in
them, and the board of health of New Or
leans certifies there is no case of cholera
in that city. The government here, how
ever, claims that the quarantine is i'm
posed on information from the Spanish
consul at New Orleans, that the cholera
really exists there. This rigid enforcement
of quarantine regulations does much injury
to commerce, and it is believed to have
been ordered on insufficient grounds.

On last Thursday, it was our high pleas
ure to have Colonel Curtis visit us, who
is now travelling through Virginia to OBJ
tain information concerning her schools,
mineral resources, manufactures, farms,
&C., to publish in THE STATE JOURNAL,
Richmond, Virginia. This gentleman,
after spending several hours in the insti-
tute, and hearing several classes recite, de-
livered an excellent address, to the students;
in which he stated that it had larger
collection Of apparatus, and was better
prepared to give thorough, practical, and
useful education, than any other institution
he has visited. He spoke in the highest
terms of the prompt and ready manner in
which the classes answered common sense
questions asked them, showing him that
they were fully acquainted with the princi-
Piles, and that they did not have to
confne themselves to mere ques-
tons and answrs given in the text
books. Virginia's rich minerals, water
powers, healthy climate and the fertility
of her soil was spoken of, and the impor-
lance of young men educating themselves
to develop these vast resources. He told
the students the future glory and success

THE SAFETY OF THE PoLARIs. The
secretary of the navy entertains the opin-
ion, from all the information he has thus far
received, that the Polaris is in condition
to reach Disco, or some other extreme
northern port, and that she will soon be
heard of. He will however, in the course
of few days select some suitable vessel Of
the navy and send her out in charge of ca
pable officers to search for the Polaris and
render such assistance as may be necessary.
OF course it will be impossible for any
vessel to penetrate the northern seas very
far so early in the season, but when the
ice begins to break up in the summer in
that latitude there may be some hope Of
rescuing the Polaris. Those on board Of
her have an abundance of provisions and
all things necessary for their comfort
and no fears are entertained here for theil
safety.

The Congressional Conference mt ST.
... .a Louis.
ST. LOUIS, May 13.-The congressional
convention met at noon to-day. The mayor
delivered an address of welcome in behalf
of the citizens. After bidding the con-
gressmen present a most cordial and hearty
welcome on behalf of the whole people of
st. Louis, and one which he hoped would
make the memory of the visit pleasant,
he said: " 1t is not our purpose
in inviting you here to-day merely to dis
cuss our local attractions, neither to bring
undue influence to bear on you, and there
by endeavor to secure your eommittal to
legislation calculated to take advantage of
or injure any portion of our common
country. We designated this convention
as convention but in character.
1t is more of an informal and
friendly conference. We desire to
present plain, practical exhibit
of the needs OF the west and south for I'M
proved water lines to the ocean. We do
not desire to excite discussion, nor do we
ask any vote, in advance on legislative pro-
positions, nor do we intend to embarrass
you by strict parliamenta proceedings
The mayor then referred to the necessity
of improved water routes to the seaboard,
and noted what the government had done
for the seacoast in the way of protect
ing life and property. He claimed
that the same should he done for the west.
and to illustrate the points of navigation on
the Mississippi river, he says that in one
bend IN that river, only four miles in extent
there lie the wrecks of thirty-six steamers;
damming up the way, and that it is appro-
priately called Graveyard Bend" He
says not only the west and south
are interested in removing obstruc-
tions from and deepening the channels of
the Mississippi river and its tributaries, but
the whole country, and also foreign nations,
for cheap transit for the products of the
Mississippi valley has and must always have
great influence on the markets of the world.
He also cites the fact that in consequence
of high freight rates to the seaboard many
farmers have actually burned their corn
because it could not be marketed without
bringing them in debt. In view of these
and other drawbacks to the trade and
business Of the west he appealed to the
congressman to consider the situation and
accord that aid which will remove the
trouble.

OBsTRUCTINd THE SIDEWALKS
We recently called the attention of the
police to the racing of horses through the
streets to the imminent peril of life and
limb, and we wish now to protest against
the blockading of the sidewalks in what
ever manner. The walks are SO frequently
obstructed by men and boys who Thought
lessly stop in crowds to talk that the inter-
vention Of authority seems necessary to
correct the evil. We witnessed an aggra-
waited case of obstruction on Broad street
yesterday evening, and just as we arrived
near the spot saw several ladies making
desperate efforts to effect a
passage. We involuntarily looked about
for policeman, intending to call his atten-
ton to the difficulty, when we discovered
that functionary in the crowd, part and
parcel Of the obstruction. 1t should be
remembered that the streets and sidewalks
are free to all, and that any abridgement Of
this freedom or the obstruction of the way
is nuisance, which the officers of the city
should abate.

WASHINGTON, May l3.-Hereaftel
the secretary of the treasury will invite
proposals for sites of public buildings and
accept such as may seem best for the
public interest instead of appointing o
commission in each case for that purpose,
as heretofore.
The number of internal revenue super
visors has been reduced from twenty-five
to ten, under the law of June G, 1872
The increased work under the new law is
progressing well with the abolition of these
offices, but in case more supervisors were
necessary they could not be appointed
without extra legislation therefor.
Information has reached the department
of state from United States Consul at st.
Petersburg, that the remains of Judge Orr
late United States minister, will be sent to
this country via Hamburg, in charge of his
son, on the opening of navigation, which
will probably be in about ten days.
The navy department is having fitted up
tug-boat which is to be used by Professor
Baird in his examination of the fisheries
along the Atlantic coast. The Professor
will begin his investigation at Mount Desc
ret, Me-, and examine the feeding grounds
Of the fishes, for the purpose Of ascertain.
ing the cause of the diminution of fish
along the Atlantic coast--whether it arises
from the want gilmore food, or the inequal-
ity of that which exists.
The fact that Indian chiefs have ceased
to have power and control over their re-
spective tribes is now palpable to the In
dian bureau. Commissioners Smith, in
alluding to this subject. attributes this lost
power of the chicftains to the discontinue
ance of warlike hostiities between the
several tribes, and that therefore they are
not bound together in unity as in former
years. Indian wars have ceased, as far as
its existence between the different tribes,
and is principally confined to engagements
against the general government.
