mounted. and provision made for their com

men will be increased, it it becomes neces-
sary, to a maximum force.
Governor Kellogg has had many diff

most OF these have been overcome, and he

The Governor has been desirous, even at
the risk Of mourning the censure of his own
party friends. Of doing all he could TO con-
ciliate all classes OF people, but his efforts
have not met with that cordial response he
had right TO expect. He is now deter

pervi-ina Inspectors of Steamboats,
The Colfax Massacre as Viewed In
Washington.
WASHINGTON, April l6.-The Attorney
General has no advices of the riot in Grant
parish. He thinks the affair is exaggerated.
The President and family have gone To
St. Louis for three weeks.
A high military officer says it will take
weeks to finish the ModOcs.
The Supreme Court confirms the decision
OF the Supreme Court of Illinois that
women are Ineligible to that bar. Judge
Chase dissented.
The board OF supervising inspectors of
steamboats,, now in session in this city, at
their meeting to- day, instructed the commit
tee on boilers and machinery to report to the
board the draft of a circular, to be distrib-
uted among the iron manufacturers, boiler
makers and inspectors, on the inspection of
boiler plates. 1t was resolved that the de-
partment circular, requiring one copy of
each certificate of inspection to be returned
to the department, is unnecessary, and that
the Secretary of the Treasury be requested
to abolish the same; and it was also re-
solved that hereafter only only two certif-
Gates OF inspection shall be required on all
tug, tow and freight steamers. The follow
iug resolution was referred to the commit
90 on rules and regulations:
RssoieeG, That hereafter fire extinguish-
"rs shall not be required on tug, tow or
freight steamers; neither shall the same be
required on passenger steamers of less than
100 tons.

ton and examination of all tho laws, that
the trouble does not come within any act of

The McEnsryites in New Orleans are
holding moro meetings and sending out
more pronunciamentos. They make the
very important announcement that public
opinion throughout the Union is against
the nsHrpatlon. We have very unfortu-
natelN failed TO observe that public opinion
has been doing much, if anything, ;n the
way OF expression on that subject And,
indeed, the adhereDts of McEnery seem to
apprehend that public opinion, even in
their own locality. isn't very much on their

Inc TAX cOllectOr OF the Fourth District,
although he did not open his Office until the
seventh of March, has made collections ex-
ceedine double those Of any previous year
The amount of licenses for parts of two
months already collected is nearly equal 20
former collections for Il whole year. and the
collections increase daily, both ID license
and tax accounts.
There was collected in March enough
Iunds to pay nearly all the interest on the
State debt, and there has been paid State
coupons past due amounting to s4S, ,233 so,
in addition TO which, since January ], there
has been paid to John G. Gaines, of
the Citizens Bank, fiscal agency, S233, 600,
which had been overpaid last year, which
payment settles the interest account of
the bank against the State. Within twenty
days the Auditor expects to be prepared
to pay all arresrage of interest debt up to
date.
Az the City Hall the financial prospect is
far anore cheerful. Since the nrst of the
month the corridor OF Administrator
Schneider's office has been thronged with
parties anxious 70 settle. The result. as

CetOneI Siaughfer,s Lectures.

We have known Colonel Slaughter many
years as a man of ability, learning and
high position in the civil service of the gen.
era! government, and feel an especial pleas
ure in commencing his lectures to the pub
lie. They have commanded the unqualified
admiration of the literati North and South.
We are permitted to publish the following
extract from one of them in vindication of
American genius and art against English
aspersion:
Although the sons OF America have not
sung In HOmerlc verse, nor carved the CHS
eled beauties of Phidias. nor caught the
delicate tints of Titan, they have success
fully rivaled, and in the useful arts eX-
celled, the artists of the European world.
Franklin drew electric fire from heaven,
and Morse has transmitted intelligence
upon its wings to the most distant civiliza-
tons, and the lightning, submissive to
mans will and charged with his commands,
encircles the globe in moment of time.
Fulton's steam has bridged the Atlantic,
and the winged car flies from ocean to
ocean. Whitney's cotton gin gave to the
broad savanuahs of the South snowy
vhiteness which has been all crimsoned
with fraternal blood; Howes lockstitch has
taken pallOr from the cheek and care from
the heart of the woman who was ensaved
by her needle. and restored to her health
and beauty and happiness. Powers, IN
Introducing Eve to the present generation,
has given to marble his beau ideal of female
lOvelinesS, and perpetuated the odium of
tyranny in his Greek slave. Henry Clay
still lives in the .cuptured marble of Hart
in his own beloved Kentucky, and his ad
miring cOuntrymen linger around the his
toric monument to catch the inspiration of
his genius.
We expect soon 60 have the pleasure of
informing ourselves of the appointment of
the time for hearing these lectures.
