tions were offered by Hon. T. T. Allan and

Mississippi Sound.

Good people live along the shore, the
bathing is the best in the world, the fishing
of quality to set old Ike Walton wild
with delight. The pleasant villages that
dot the shore between this city and Mobile
are filed with people who recognize New
Orleans as the Mecca of true gaiety and
accept each denizen of this burg as a
prophet.
Biloxi particularly may be noted for hos
pitality. Existing relict of the past, an
cient city of by-gone schemes, she yet revels
in the concourse of the gallant, brave and
lovely. Skirting the coast and lining its
borders with an iron bolt, the steam horse
plows his way. The Mobile and Texas
Railroad Company will at small cost whisk
you away from the din and dust, the fume
and fret of the city to shingly beach and
waters green in time quite brief and with
pleasant motion.

The Baldwin Case.

The plaintiff in this case sueing to obtain
the Office of Fiscal Agent by way of man
damus on the Treasurer to compel him to
transfer the State moneys to his keeping,
was denied the writ by the Superior Dis.
trict Court. The State. as intervenor,
through the Attorney General, had come to
the aid of the Treasurer.
The relator being entitled to an appeal.
took one, the next legal return day being
the first Monday of November The other
parties to the suit, the Treasurer of the
State, were entitled to all the time previous
to this to prepare their cases.
But the relator was not satisfied with
this. The July term of the Supreme Court
was progressing at Monroe, and he OBJ
tanned from Governor Kellogg perm it for
the district attorney to represent the State
and the Attorney General as in cases of dis
ability. He filed his brief, the Treasurer de.
clinedto answer, and the Attorney General
objected to the whole proceeding as ruling
him out when none of the statutory condi-
tions precedent existed.
The decision of the court rendered by Jus'
tfce WHY and published this morni ng
RENTS the case to its original and pro per
channel.
The Chief Justice takes an entirely differ
ent view of the case and considers it an en-
deavor of one officer to compel anothe r to
perform a duty. But Mr.. Baldwin is not
yet a State officer, as the real object OF his
suit is to make him one.
There would seem to be other grounds OF
non.iurisdiction OF the Monroe term over
q case returpable at Orleans Novem bel
term than that citation had been issued, and
want of consent of all parties, but Meth Ell
the detision nor the dissenting opinio L
make mention of them, aud they proba bly,
were not presented.

Senator J. II. West and thei Fort st.

EDITOR REpCBLICAN:
Having recently read in the papers of
the city the communication OF Cap tain
Howell, of the United States engineer de.
partment, and that of Professor C. G.. For
they, the representative of the New Orleans
Chamber of Commerce, in which the recent
speech of Senator West before the Cham ber
of Commerce, the Senator is most bitterly
assailed for having stated in his speech
"that the report of the engineer departm ent
recently laid before Congress at its last
session, was too incomplete and indef mite
for Congress to finally act upon"
Having just read House document No.

diately over the signatures of the board of
engineers constituted under order No. S3,
dated 1878, said report being dated January
9, 1874. l find the following:
It'll evident from the foregoing that the
necessary and unavoidable absence of sutfi-
ciept data to determine the best location for
the line of canal across the peninsula. in
cIuding its termini. and particularly it's
debroucke by jetties into Isle au Breton,
renders it impossible to make close esti
mate of it's cost A new estimate, resultin g
in part from that made by Captain Howell,
has been rendered specially necessary in
view of the notifications of plan rec 20 M

ample to cover the cost of constructing a
canal of the dimensions given above. 10.
Gated within the limits designated. The
estimate amounts to $l0.213,000.
Surely with such language as this above
quoted, Senator might well hesita te be-
fore acting in such manner as to abso
lutely commit the action Of the government
to such gigantic expenditure of money
from the national treasury.

Beecher Interviewed.
The Brooklyn Union says: A reporter,
who is intimate with Beecher, called at his
residence.
The conversation was OF a confidential
nature. Mr.. Beecher iptimated that his
friends might rely on his discretion and
truth. 1t was enough that he had declared
Tiltons charges false, for the present. He
was prepared to admit that his sky was not
as clear as it ought to be. There were hazy
clouds In the horizon, anu CnoS0 Qarkone0
slightly toward the zenith, but the sun of
truth would, in it's time. burst forth and
dissipate them. He was preparing his
refutation of the charges against him. He
felt strong in his own heart; felt he had
done wrong to no one; might have been in
considerate, even indiscreet.
When his plain and unvarnished story
had been prepared and given to the public
he would calmly await the issue.
He was quite prepared to stand a fall.
He felt himself innocent, and with that
feeling ever present in his heart he was
prepared to come boldly before the world
and battle dewn the army Of scandal mon
gers.

A Word About Marriage.

A physician writes the following
sensible advice: MY profession has
thrown me among women of all class
es, and my experience teaches me
that God never gave man a greater
proof of his love than to place wo-
man here with him. Ny advice is:
Go-propose to the most sensible
girl you know. If she says yes, tell
her how much your income is-from
what source derived--and tell her
you will divide the last shilling with
her and love her with all your heart
in the bargain. And then keep your
promise. My word for it, she will
live within your income, and to your
last hour you will regret that you did
not marry sooner. Gentlemen, don't
worry about feminine extravaganza
and feminine untruth. Just you be
true to her, love her sincerely, and
tell her of it frequently, and more
fond, faithful, foolish slave you will
never meet any where. You won't
deserve her, l know, but she would
never see it. Now throw aside pride
and selfishness, and see what will
become Of it.
