Direct Trade with Mexico.

1t has frequently been noted by the OBJ
servant that neighbors or parties occupying
contiguous dwellings in great city, know
less of each other and associate less than
parties who reside at some distance from
one another Trade relations and comm er.
cial intercourse sometimes appear to be
affected in the same erratic manner. Take
Mexico for example. The business men of
the South, and of Louisiana in particular.
know less and apparently care less about
the resources Of that great tract of country
than they do of France or Spain, or even
Russia. Our people seem content to run on
old grooves, content to follow in the lead of
trade as set by the old world, never once
thinking or even believing aught of the
vast wealth at our very borders, that only
awaits enterprise and energy to become our
own.
We are impelled to these remarks by the
reflection that while New Orleans has no
direct communication with Mexico, New
York has a line of steamships, and even
Great Britain has, for long time, m ain.
tanned direct trade. 1t is not pretended
that New Orleans merchants and capitalists
are to blame for not competing successfully
with New York and Liverpool but so soon
as opportunity shall offer to afford no direct
communication and its consequent trade
with Mexico, we would consider our bust
ness men needless indeed of their own in
terest, and careless of the advancement of
this city, should they fail to assist in every
possible way so important an enterprise.
For some days past there has been in our
city gentleman connected with one of the
largest shipping interests of New York. His
visit to this place was to determine the fea-
sibility and proftableness Of running line
of steamships between this city and Tam
pico, Tuspan and Vera Cruz, Mexico.
Mr.. John E. Alexander, for he is the gen.
tleman referred to, has expressed the
opinion that the successful operation of the
enterprise is mere question of time. The
company which he represents has a con-
tract with the Mexican government, by
which it is endowed with certain privileges.
Mr.. Alexander left last evening for New
York for the purpose of laying the result
of his observations before his business as
sociates, and if possible to inaugurate, with
out delay, the line of steamers mentio ned

>~fndispOsitiOn Of the Governor.

The continued indisposition of Governor
Kellogg has made the executive depart
ment a rather dull place for the last two
days. The cheerful face of Mr.. Clarke, the
Governors private secretary, tended to
relieve the dullness in the Goven or's office
yesterday; but discovering that he rather
enjoyed solitude upon that occasion we
left him alone in his glory. We learned
from Mr.. Clarke, however, that the Gov
ener's sickness was not Of a serious nature,
and that it is quite possible that he will be
able to attend to business on Monday.

FURNITURE. - Our neighbors, Messrs.
Montgomery, have been receiving for the
last two months from the best manufac-
tories Of the West, North and East, large
invoices of furniture, which is now ready
for examination at their large furniture

and dining-room suits to the cheapest house

the times. Tne merchants, public and
country buyers would do well to give them
a call before purchasing elsewhere.

The Geueva Awards.
The House Judiciary Committee held a
meeting OF over three hours duration this
afternoon on the subject of the distribution
of the award of the Geneva tribunal of
arbitration. By the vote of q majority of
the members present it was decided, after
long and animated discussion, that no
provision should be made for reimbursing
any insurance company any losses sustained
by them under policies insuring vessels
which were destroyed by Confederate
cruisers. Although the committee was not
full to-day, there is no reason to believe
that this action will be changed when all
the members are present
Messrs. Butler, Wilson, Frye, White,
Ward and Eldridge are known to be op-
posed to allowing the insurance companies
to participate in the distribution Of the
award. Messrs. Pollard, Tremaine and
Jewett maintain that the insurance COM
panies should be placed on an equality with
all other corporations or persons who sus-
tanned loss from the Alabama and her con-
sorts, and thinks that the insurance COM
panies should be at least allowed to abserb
such portion of the award as may remain
after other losers are indemnified.
There ia, therefore, clear majority of
the committee ready to sustain tO-day's &C
ton. portion of the majority above
named are in favor of distributing out of
the awards the amounts paid by insurers
as war premiums, but as this kind of dam
ages was expressly excluded by the general
tribunal in fixing the gross sum to be
awarded, it is considered very doubtful
whether the committee will recommend
that they be paid by the United States
This question and others of Importance
connected with the general subject is, how
ever, yet to be decided by the committee.

The notice that Mrs. Van Cott would
preach last night to gentlemen exclusively,
brought together large and motley con-
gregatiOn of the male sex. Representatives
of all the Christian sects, men of all opin-
gifted lady preach the gospel of peace. Her
text, "Thou art the man." was skillfully
used to expose the sophistries, delusions
and folly of life of sin. Her great powers
of denunciation were used at times with
powerful effect, and doubtless much good
was effected by the service.

GENERAL HEBERT's REJoINDER.


Washington, March Is, 1874 :
The Baltimore Sun, of the twelfth in
stant publishes letter from General G. T.
Beauregard, ''office of the New Orleans and
Carrollton" railroad, New Orleans, Feb
ruary 4, 1874, in which the following pas
sage occurs:
General Hebert has disqualified himself
from speaking for the suffering white peo-
pie of this State by accepting an office from
and lending his influence to those who have
usurped it's government to despoil them"
l"And here it may be mentioned. in paren-
thesis, that the 'despoiling' job was thor
oughly and artistically accomplished before
the present 'usurpation' came into power.
To find anything left to 'despoir would be
difficult matter.")
The statement above quoted is tainted
with the animus of an insinuatiOn which
casts an unjust and uncalled for reflection
upon my motives.
The Louisiana levee laws provide for
three commissioners of eugineers-one to
be appointed by the Governor of the State,
one 6y the levee company, and one by the
President OF the United States" The Presi-
dent could not issue commission under .
State law. This would be establishing IN
unusual and embarrassing precedent. All
he could do was to indioato his preference
to the Governor Of the State; and this he
did, in language - oo1plinsatary b my.

Life Insurance.

The Washington Life Insurance Co., of
N. Y, have established an agency in our
city for Goodhue Co. and vicinity, by ap-
pointing Stiles Raymond, Esq. Mr.. Ray
mond being well and favorably known in
this county, will, no doubt, do a large vol
ume Of business for this old and reliable
company. We notice that the Washington
is On oil cash, purely mutual company, de-
claring dividends annually. No Co. in the
United States surpasses the Washington in
character Of assets, they being securely in
vested in United, States and N. Y. State
bonds and first liens on real estate. We
can cheerfully recommend the Washington
to the insurance public as being a safe, re-
liable company. with large assets, and a
company that is admirably managed.

News for Farmers.

As you are all desirous of having your
buildings and their contents insured against
loss by fire and damage by lightning. we
would call your attention to the superior
inducements offered by the Watertown Fire
Insurance Co., Watertown, N. Y. The pe-
culiar feature Of this company is that it
confines its risks exclusively to farm prop
erty and private dwellings, and is conse-
quently exempt from the ruinous losses in
Cured by companies holding heavy risks in
great cities like Chicago and Boston, which
have been recently swept by such destruc-
tive fires, as to ruin many companies doing
business in those places. The Watertown
is stock company with cash assets over
100000 and surplus Of $340,S50, such
being its fourishing condition. We can
safely recommend it as the most reliable
company for farmers to insure in Further,
its rates are.less than companies insurine
all classes of property unfortunately.
