Of cotton goods, cotton and Woolen thread, hats,
and firearms, and many distillories and paper

Sale Of Cash.

The attendance at Auditor. C!inton's sale
of cash in the treasury yes:e rday was very
slender. and the biddin g slow. This was
in consequence Of the Treasurer paying out
much less money than holders of warrants
had been led to expect People are and
have right to be dissatisfied with receiv-
ing a few little dri0lets OF M oney when
they have reason to believe much larger
amount could be offered to them. If
these sales are to be carried on in that way
many warrant holders are not going to sup
port them. They prefer administering
their affairs in the Old way, and go to the
Treasurer's office when there is money and
take their chances.
If people were satisfied, which they are
not, that every dollar in the treasury was
offered for their warrants, they would come
forward and buy. If they believed. which
they do not. that none OF the money is re-
tanned for the purpose o. favorlng particu-
lar warrant holders, their good nature and
desire to help the State gould induce them
to forgive the deception. But while
nothing is done to remove their conviction
that the greater portion of the money is
held back to pay judges salaries. Auditor s
clerks. Governors clerks. or any other
clerks fees and salaries, they viii hold on
to their warrants, and Auditor ClintOn's

full, scientific men. and while Major Howell's
plan appeared in every way satisfactory,
and the majority were willing to report
favorably immedi tely. few desired to see
for themselves. They desire to inspect the
location and be better satisfied. Some
members doubt the permanence Of an ex-
cavation in such soil, and desire to be
satisfied on that point by a personal exam:-

the matter Of foundation. Both the pile
and platform system We're discussed. BIZ.
neither fixed upon.
They therefore propose to visit New Or
leans about tie middle of November and
have Getting Of the board in this city.
They will make an excursion down the river
and personally inspect the site Ot the canal
When they arrive the only questions they
will have to settle will be those Of detail.
Being already favorably impressed with
the feasibility Of the project they wi! easily
agree on proper plan and make their final
repor: a: the end OF November. When

-owboat Operations at Pass.a.fOutre.

Ou. reporter, dropping in at the United

duty a. Pass-a iOutre:
THURSDAY. August.
Ship Caledonia. drawing nineteen and a

the tOwboats Lone Star and Morgan. The
steamer OberOn came down a. soon as 1t
was certain that the Caledonia would go
out. but the towboat Morgan cast Oft and
took the bark Polymnia. drawing fifteen
and half feet, and tOwed her UP very
slowly. When she was up to the black

stopped and went alongside. and the Lone
Star went ahead and took the hawser
where tie Morgan had been towing.
Cloutman was pilot. had to so to Pilot
Town. and there blow the customhouse
whistle to stop her to learn what they were
about. The pilot said he did not order the
boats to change, and that he did not touch
bottom anywhere on the way up Captain
Warren, Of the Morgan, said the bark ran
aground, and they had to stop and change
boats to pull her off. The Oberon was
waiting near the coal barge. and as it took
torty-tive minutes to change boats, the ODE

so as to leave the bar clear. the pilot was
afraid to put the O5eron down, as the tide
had fallen so much. I took Captain Han

nineteen feet or more at the best sounding.
Captain Hanney was very much surprised
to ind so much water, from what he had
been told in the city.
1t will be seen by this extract tha. the
Oberon, which draws four feet of water
less than the Caledonia, was forced 70 lie

less than the Caledonia, was said to have

learned to exercise sound Judgment in the
use OF the nayigable channel connecting

Additional About the WaWasset Disaster.
WASHINGTON. August 12.-Additional re-
ports from the scene of the Wawasset dis
aster now place the number OF persons lost
at seventy-twO.
The friends of Daniel Lynch. a tailor,
doing business in this city, are certain that
he was among the lost, Judging from the
description OF an unknown body found. as
published yesterday. Mr.. Lynch was en-.
gagged to be married to widow lady, who,
with her two children, was also among the
lost.
An Investigation to be Had.
The investigation into the cause Of the
disaster TO the Wawasset Will begin to-
morrow, and will assume the form OF a suit
against the owners of the Wawasset by the
supervising inspector Of steamboats, of the
Treasury Department. 1t appears that on
her last eventful trip the owners OF the
Wawasset failed to ask or receive special
permit to carry more passengers than her
certificate of inspection allowed.
If the owners had been granted such a
request, they would have been compelled
to have procured an additional outfit in the
matter of an extra license. The owners
having neglected to procure that necessary
paper have violated the law, the penalty Is
a tine Of SO per passenger, and to refund
| the passage money. 1t is stated the owners
| will be prosecuted for carrying excursion
| lists without d license.
Commodore Rose, inspector of hulls, who
| is stationed at Savannah, will conduct the
| investigation, and will be assisted by John
| Z. Edger, inspector Of boilers at Norfolk,
| both of whom are old and experienced in
| specto-s, and entirely dlsinterested in the
case.
In this connection the following order
| was issued to-day:
| TREASURY DEPARTMENT., August II, 1873.
SIR-In view of the fact that the local
| inspectors at Baltimore made the last in
| spectiOn of the i'll fated steamer Wawasset,
| and in order that the government may
! avail itself of their services as witnesses in
the investigation to bs made concerning the
| disaster to the steamer in question, 1t is
| deemed expedient that OHe of the other
local boards of your district be detailed to
| conduct such investigation. You will
please be governed accordingly.
W. A. RICHARDSON,
Secretary.

Perpe,rating a Nuisance.

Abou: five o'clock yesterday evening
thee men. armed with spades. reached a
certain corner. They had come by way OF
the gutter. from which they had scraped
the wet. nasty. putrescent filth and spread
i: over the dry street. They were not
working very energetically. At the rate
they progressed they may have muddled
three squares during the day. One able
bodied working man could have done twice
as much. But they did damage enough.
The mud thrown on the dry. hot street. IN
the rays Of the sun, required only 1e"
minute. 20 send forth di,agreeable and I'M
healthy cLors. Before they stirred 1t up
in the cutters the water that covered It, as
it always should, was flowing gently along.
Why could not they ie. it alone Il was al
righ. where it was. 1t is all wrong where
it is. II the Department Of Improvements
has lot 0: men on its rolls that i: desires
to make a show of working, lend them to
the Wa.erworks. If they can not do any
thin. else. they can rebuild the fallen reser-
voir wall.
Give them "a Mr. Fi:zenreiter. He
knows how to work men and save money.
Out Of an unsightly tumble down inclosure
he made = pleasant garden, preserved de-
caying city property, and made improve
ments worth over $1,000, aai all for 5000.
The Department OF Improvements, under
some wrong headed idea. is sending mud
scraper. round to idiotically destroy what
is in the best possible condition. If the
mud were noxious it certainly were best
under the flowing water, which is the best
disinfectant known, instead of being spread
out SO that every particle of poison may be
heated 70 expansion into the air we
breathe. Ii it were not noxious what is
the use of spreading it on the street an
inch thick! The surface Of dirt streets is
soft enough withou: hav ing We: mud
Topped over it.
1t is an absurd, useless practice. without
an atom Of common sense or utility to com
mend it to consideration. injurious to
health. unsightly to the eye. offensive to
tbs smell, and damaging to the public
pocket. Take the dry earth out Of the
dry cutters if you wish to. Mr.. Department
of Improvements. bu. when they are filled
with flowing water they are useful and
healthy, and you shouldn't disturb them.

Resignation of the Mayor OF Shreveport.
The .you,hwss'ern 2c'eg,n7.l os the eighth
SAYS:
Shortly after noon to-day, and just before
the adjournment of the mayors court, a
committee waited upon his honor and re-
spectfully presented 70 him petition. This
committee. composed of Captain T. F. Bell.
MAJ " W. H. Elstner. DR.. }. T. Davis, Mr..
". +. Ford and Mr. +. W. Williams, was
appointed at citizens meeting held this
morning. at the law office Of Mr.. Z. TenIey,
on the corner OF Market aud Milan streets.
It resluestad the resignation of Mayor
Taylor, for reasons given. the substance
of which was tina: the community gener
ally were dissatisfied with his admins
tration. After carefully reading the docu
ment, Mayor Taylor rose and proceeded
to state that he appreciated the kind and
friendly manner in which he had been ap-
preached by the committee, and that it was
certainly not his desire to fill any position
contrary to the Hishes of the people; that
he had endeavored to subserve the interest
of the citizens of Shreveport, and if they
did not approve his course he would yield
to their wishes and resign the office of
mayor The remarks Of Mayor Taylor
were very sensible and timely. He exhib-
tied no bitterness, but, on the contrary, a
considerable degree of kindly feeling and
good will to the citizens of Shreveport. His
resignation, We presume, will go forward at
once, and his successor be appointed.
