THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE
UNDERWRITERS.
A PROPOSITION FOR A SENTIMENT.

The last meeting Of the Board Of Delegates to
the Fremen's Charitable Association, was held
for the purpose of their de erminng whether the
Fire Department should continue its duties under
the contract with the city, the financial embar-
easements surrounding it, and the utter inability
OF the city to afford relief by the payment OF any
portion of amount due the department, urging
many to advocate immediate suspension.
The matter was discussed at length, and a
majority were found favorable to continued
performance Of duty, provided limited amount
could be raised to liquidate in part the most i'm
portant claims held against the association, such
as the dues to widows and orphans, apothecaries'
and physicians bills. etc. and to that end reso-
luton was adopted appointing commit zee OF
five to confer with the
BOARD OF UNDERWRITERS,
and ascertain if the latter would advance the
necessary funds on such certificates of indebted
ness as the association might hold against the
city. The committee, consisting Of Messrs. l. N.
Marks, L. A. Witt, VIM. Johnson, VIM. Man.
ming and T. Dudenhefer, conferred yesterday with
the Board of Underwriters, and were met by a
proposition the part of the latter, to the effect
that the insurance companies were willing to
maintain ten fire companies, furnishing only the
amount necessary to defray their running ex-
penses.
The committee declined to entertain any such
proposition, when the Board offered second,
agreeing to pay the expenses Of the Fire Depart
ment as whole, provided the expenses were
materially curtailed. The committee will submit
the result of their interview to the Board OF
Delegates at a meeting to be held this evening,
it is understood, but there is little likelihood OF
the offer being Endorsed, the Association is not
in need of funds to defray running expenses, but
want money to liquidate urgent demands now
made upon it.

CINCINNATI, Nov. pa storm Of wind last
night, about II o'clock, unroofed several houses
in Covington and Newpor:, KY, inflicting about
$4,000 damage, but causing no personal injury or
loss Of life. Crossing the Ohio River it passed
up the Little Miami Valley with abated strength,
unroofing only few houses and prostrating
fences.

In the course OF conversation the subject OF

opinion was soon made manifest. Mr.. Mullett
desired to control this matter agreeably to his
own convictions of right, not SO much because
he cared particularly in this especial instance,
bus because this shop vas component part OF
an immense ramitication, the disturbance OF
which would affect the whole machinery OF which
he had control. The Secretary said that they
had concluded that Mr.. Mullet did not have the
power in this matter, and that he could not be
permitted to carry out his wishes in that par
ticular.
Mr.. Mullett said 8" Mr.. Secretary. I would

again this afternoon, not having any III feeling
whatever in this matter.

Mullett, to fill, was at the Treasury to-day, en-.
deavoring to have Mnllett to withdraw his resig-

MEXICO AND LOUISIANA.

If the "northers" and the Gulf of Mexico have
behaved themselves decently. as it is to be hoped
they may have done. there landed at Vera Cruz
on Thursday OF last week a company Of mer-
chants and ship-owners from New Orleans, whose
advent will be hailed In the capital of the Mexi-
can Republic as The dawn of a new and brighter
day for the commerce of that magnificent but
long isolated country. On the 9th of October
last the regular service Of a steamer line began
between New Orleans and Vera Cruz, the vessels
OF the line being directed on both their outward
and their inward trips to cali at Tuxpan and
Tsmpico.
The authorities and leading merchants of Vera
Crux and Mexico, upon the establishment of
this new line, invited the Chamber Of Commerce
OF New Orleans to send out deputation of it's
members to inspect and report upon the natural
resources, the actual development, and the pros
poets OF Mexico. The invitation was very prop.
erly and very cordially accepted, and we shall
look forward with no little curiosity to the results
OF the experiment. 1t is quite certain that in
regard to one single staple coffee, the region of
Eastern Mexico, between COrdova and Orizaba,
which has been brought by the opening of the verr
Cruz Railway into easy reach Of the great mar
kets Of the West Of the United States, is abund-
antly able to compete advantageously with the
Empire of Brazil. The great coffee consumption
of the United States goes on west of the Ale
ghanies, and of late years the Brazil trade has
been more and more steadily detected towards
the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico is now in a position
to assert her own claims upon these virtually il
imitable markets, and that with staple probably
second to none grown anywhere else in the
world, in respect to the most essential qualities
of this invaluable stimulant.
grand ball was to be gwen by the merchants
of Mexico at the Los Tonga IN honor Of their
guests from Louisiana, and we sincerely hope
that the occasion may lead to better under
standing Of each other by the people Of both
countries, and to q real progress IN their COM
mercial relations. 1t is true that Louisiana just
now does not fully enjoy, like Mexico, the ad-
~antages OF independence and self-government.
But the recent elections, if they have left
Kellogg IN the highest executive Office OF the
State, and Casey acting as the Federal st.
Matthew, have at all events demonstrated the
impracticability OF any serious attempt to MAIN
tain for long tine state of things which for
the present makes Mexico Mecca Of Liberty to
the citizens of one of the noblest of American
commonwealths.-N.Y Y. World, 18Th inst,

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.
STATE VS.. WILLIAM BURKE.

It will be recalled that on Monday (elec-
ton day. William Burke killed his friend and
former companion on Rousseau street. The
preliminary trial came up yesterday before
Magistrate Adams, of the Fourth District.
The court room was crowded to its utmost
capacity by a throng who were bent upon
hearing and seeing all the incidents relating
to the trial Of William Burke.
We will make no comments just at present,
but will give the statements of the witnesses
in couA.
John NJ. Cooney was attorney for the State,
ford for the defense.
Owen Riley was the first witness called on
behalf OF the State. He testified substan-
tally as follows:
Monday, November 2, 1874, between the hours
of II and P. u was coming home from Third
street to Rouse III for dinner; when came there
saw Mr.. Keegan, Willie and Johnnie Burke
standing ON Keegan's banquette. When l came
opposite Keega ans door, the three were standing
there, and arguing little. noticed Johnnie
Burke standing between both Of them, and Will
lie was passing remarks as II he wanted to fight.
s:r. lie egan made a remark to the accused that
he was not worth fussing with. Burke answered
that he would fight anybody that had anything
against him. Mr.. Keegan said 81 suppose you
| came around with your shooting irons, but am
not afraid of your shoe ing irons" Rurke then
said something in low tone to Aeegan, which
did not hear. Keegan, who was then on his way
home, turned around again and said, what is
that you CALLED mel"
Keegan made a rush up, and Johnnie Burke
was the first one he caught hold OF. keegan
said "get off this banquette," and at the same
time cayo Johnnie Burke shove.
Mr. Keegan then turned to so to his own house
again, and then Willie Burke took out his pistol
and fred three shots at him. l ran up to stop
Mr.. Burke from firing; he turned around, looked
at me in the face, and I grew frightened and
Jumped Off the banquette into the street. John

PROBABLE TACTICS OF THE DEMOCRATS IN
CONGRESS- THIS WINTER.

Especial Dispatch to the New York Times.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE estimates for the
next fiscal year will be at least s6,0O0,0o0 or
600 600 below the estimates OF last year, though
they will be somewhat in excess Of the appropria-
tions made last winter. The tabulation OF the
estimates is nearly complete, and the members
of the appropriation committee are already pre-
pairing the bills, and they will be brought before
The House at the first day possible. II is not AZ
all unlikely that the policy OF the Democrats u
rass the appropriation bills with the hope OF
forcing an adjournment with some OF them un-
passed. This would compel the calling OF an
extra session, and would bring the next Gong ga
nos olberw . meet I'll year from December.
There is little doubt, however, that the early
presentation of the bills will enable the commit
tee to push them all through before March 4.

THE BURNED STEAMER DARIEN.
A VERDICT FOUND pY THE COURT OF INQUIRY

A VERDICT FOUND BY THE COURT OF INQUIRY.
The Court of Inquiry held on board the British
ship Darien, was again in session at II o'clock
this morning and after having examined few
more witnesses among the crew and stevedores,
came to the following conclusion, to wit
'.That the British steamship Darien was COM
PEELED to put back to New Orleans and discharged
her cargo on account of fire having broken out
amongst cotton slowed in her thwart-ship coal
bunker, but there is no evidence to show how or
bv whom such fire was caused"
This verdict was found at II N. on Monday,
and fully exonerates the Captain, officers and
crew from all blame in the premises.
The investigation was held at the instigation OF
Captain Leighton, the genial and hospitable
captain of the Darien, at his own expense, and
we cannot but commend his discretion in taking
this step.
The Darien is now loading and viii, no doubt,
leave here the latter part OF this week.

HOW PRETTY PHILLIPS PAID HIS
PASSAGE.
A DRAFT ON PACKARD DIsHoNoRED.


It has been the blessed privilege Of s. B.
Packards nultitudinous henchmen to wander.
ad betuna, over fair Louisiana. in prosecution Of
the various missions to which they we're assigned,
and it is noteworthy that the wherewithal neces-
sary to defray the expenses incurred was always
forthcoming. This is not, it must be understood,
attributable particularly to any fond desire on
the part of tho worthless in question to do the fair
and square thing, but more to the fact that they
could usually very well afford such incidental
disbursements, because this going and coming
rarely involved less than some thing in the lucra-
tive line.
Ye gentle henchmans prospects are somewhat
on the wane just at present, the outlook is not so
encouraging as he would have it, and evidently
Packard is growing Indifferent, and is 10th to
recognize the claims Of this genius Of his own
creation, as witness how
HE D1sHoNERED
the draft of W. B. Phillip, Of Grant parish fame,
which called for the payment OF the paitry sum
Of twelve dollars only. Phillip, who acted as q.
s. Supervisor of Registration in Grant parish,
boarded the cord steamer B. T. Bryarly at COL
fax, on her down trip, and made it known that his
destination was the Crescent City, Offering as re-
muneratlOn IOr his DC1TO anu LrduSpOILdUlOu, d
draft on Packard for the sum above named.
Under the impression that Phillips was in good
standing at headquarters, the clerk accepted the
paper, but 10! on its being presented for pay
ment it was revealed that Phiilips's credit wasn't
good, and it was at the eame time mildly in
timated that the holders might utilize the paper
as they saw proper.
Phillips has certainly lost cast with the ''Boss,
and the Bryarly in consequence has lost bill.
Phillips, it may be incidentally mentioned, is
the genial youth who, under an apprehension
that matters were not favorable at Washington
to Kellogg's continuance in power, revealed to
certain prominent gentlemen in this city, about
one year ago, the fact that he had manufactured,
with his own hands. hundreds OF affidayits which
were furnished the Lynch Longstreet Returning
Board, from Grant parish. This the willy Phil
lips did, hoping to gain favor in the eyes Of those
who it was thought might, through favorable
action Of Congress, dethrone the usurper.

Harbin's Cotton and Corn Planter.
This great labor. saving machine is now on ex-
hibition at the hardware house Of A. Baldwin Il
CO., 90, 90 and 95 Common street.
It is well worth the attention Of all mechanics,
but more especially planters. 1t is not at AL COM
plicated, but is plain, simple machine; drops the
seed, covers. harrows and rows the ground at the
same time, all with one horselor mule, and one
hand. It separates the seed so tina. no two seed
can come out together.
In planting corn, it drops from one to eight
grains, regulated by temper screw, covers, har-
rows, rolls and checks theIrow at one operation,
and is perfect driller. In word, it will do
more work than any machine ever made, and at
less expense to the planter. It will pay all inter-
ested in planting to call and see the machine.
On exhibition from 9 A. N. to p. NJ.
The owner of the patent, an old and respected
citizen of Indiana, will be glad to explain the
mechanism and demonstrate the working Of this
very desirable agricultural implement, to all who
may call to see it. The planters are manufac-
tured in Louisville, KY, and the patentee will
either sell the right for the State will organize
stock company for manufacturing, and supply
ing both Louisiana and Texas. Those interested
in such matters should examine this planter and
satisfy themselves Of its merits.
