During the debate on the salary bill in

said he was willing to reduce the salaries OF
Congressman, but he wanted reduction
made in the salaries of the high officers of

by millions instead of hundreds of dollars:
this money should 20 back to the treasury.

To the President:
SIR-You we're kind enough, without my
solicitation or any knowledge on my part
that you contemplated such thing, to
nominate me for Chief Justice Of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States. Since
that time the hoodgates of calumny in all
directions have been opened upon me. My
abilities have been disparaged, my integrity
brought in question, and it seems to me that
public opinion adverse to my appointment
has been created which might hereafter
enbarass your administration, and perhaps
impair my usefulness upon the bench
With perfect consciousness that have
performed with the clean hand Of an up
right purpose all the duties Of the various
public places to which l have been called,
and trusting to time and a just public,
when better informed, for my vindioation.
respectfully ask you to Withdraw from
the Senate my nomination for Chief Justice.
have the honor to be, with great respect,
GEORGE H. WILLIAMS.

With the exception of our neighbor, Ari-
zona, less is known of New Mexico by the
world at large than any other Territory Of
the American Union. Strange as it may
seem, yet it is nevertheless true that tho
Territorial Legislature, which convened
within the past few days, has assembled in
the Capitol whose foundation was laid
nearly century before the Pilgrim Fathers
landed on Plymouth Rock. Still more
strange is it that this building, the "old
palace" which is used conjointly by the
executive, legislative and Judicial branches
of the government, was commenced as far
back as l540, and still remains incomplete,
never having been finished. 1t is one of the
many wonders of this remote inland coun-
try, and it is q somewhat unsightly struo.
tnre, despite its name. it is constructed Of
adobe, but still is very substantial build
ding. 1t is proposed that during the com
ing year it shall be remodeled and repaired.
This will cost several thousand dollars
an amount which ls trihing in the eyes of
an enterp,king American, but which ap-
pears to be very large to many Of the

ton, whose ideas of iberality in behalf of
public improvements are extremely con-

In the suit of the Eagle Manufacturing
Company of Georgia, to recover damages
for the alleged illegal seizure and sale, by
Simeon Draper, OF cotton belonging to
plaintiff, the jury, to-day, in the United

The Mass Meeting Fizzle.
The proposed mass meeting of unem-
plOyed workmen was failure. About 300
men moved about in groups through Union
square, but no leader appearing to organize
the meeting, and it was raining at the time
they sooD disappeared.
The workingmen, after leaving Union
square, went to Tompkins square, where,
alter about 500 or GOO men had assembled,
a meeting was organized, and resolutions
adopted demanding work: the enforcement
of the eight hour law; the reduction Of
house rent twenty - per cent, and it's
total suspension until the first of May.
They then adjourned, with the understand
ing that q grand demonstration will take

were>adopted against the present revenue

them to Congress.

Billiards..

The game last evening was much superior
to the game Of the previous evening, not
particularly tor the excellence of the play,
but for the excitement which the players
give when the chance Of wining hangs in
the balance. Mr.. Abrams, without dis
paragement to him when fighting against
so redoubtable an antagonist, might De
said to have been wofully defeated. The
large crowd who assembled last evening to
see Messrs. Daily and Coste play saw much
better game because the changes for the
weaker contestant were 80 much better.
Mr.. Daily gave the same odds to Mr..
Arthur Coste as to Mr.. Abrams, discount,
and, to cut the matter short, the following
ia summary:
Mr.. Daily at the end of sixty five innings
scored 300 points, and made 55S in all, with
an average of 8 3S IS. His best runs were
IS, 26, 81, II, 7a, 10, %, II, 81. %, 80.
Mr.. Coste scored 259, with an average Of
3 64-65, his best runs being 80, II, &C. TO- II,

The Central RailFOad d.

We are glad to learn that the act passed
by the Legislature at its last session grant
ing right of way from Vermilionville to
Shreveport for the Louisiana Central rail
road, becomes a law by limitation, Gov
ernor Kellogg having discovered no grounds
for veto. Since this fact became known
to Captain 6. B. Ward, the agent of the
road, he has telegraphed to the Governor
that work will be Immediately commenced
ON the road, according to the terms of the
charter. This news will be gratefully re-
ceived by the dwellers in the interior of our
State, whose prosperity has been SO long
checked for want of proper transportation
facilities.

but can freely walk on both legs in several

where he is.

Coal.

At this time, when the demand for fuel is
greater than at any season of the year, the
object is, Of course, to obtain a supply, of
such quality and at such price as will best
suit the consumer.
Superior varieties of coal are brought to
New Orleans from distant markets, but de-
Jays incident to long routes have so en-
hanced tie price that at times an inferior
article has been necessarily used in place of
the good. The OBJECT has been to obtain an
equally good quality nearer home. This
has been accomplished by working the
Mount Carbon mine and bringing its pro-
duct to New Orleans in barges. The mine
is situated at Grand Tower, Illinois, which
is sixty miles above Cairo, which is much
nearer than the source of our principal sup
plies heretofore. The route, too, is very
seldom closed with ice, and the coal, brought
by barges regularly. makes the price more
uniform.
The coal itself has many qualities which
commend 1t to the consideration Of the pub
Lc. 1t has no superior in generating steam,
is free from slate and sulphur, burns with
clear fame, a strong, pleasant heat to white
ashes, leaving no cinders OF elinkers be-
hind.

ury Department, which has jurisdiction of
commerce. The inquiry has already been
directed to the Surgeon General whether
army surgeons could take charge of the
matter. To this inquiry the Surgeon Gen
eral has replied that the army could not
furnish sufficient number of officers to
carry ont an efficient system of quarantine.
1t is not the object Of the bill to make a
uniform system OF quarantine. The pur-
pose ia to provide for a general system of
quarantine, under one supervision, 80 that
quarantine may be enforced at various
points whom required. One great difficulty
now is that at many of the ports there is no
quarantine at all; and at many ports where
quarantine does exist it is made entirely to
subserve commercial interests. At such
ports the quarantine regulations are merely
formal. At Baltimore, for instance, the
quarantine dues are frequently remitted in
order to encourage commerce to that port.
The surgeons find it very difficult to enforce
any regulations which seem to conflict with
the commercial interests of such ports
