TO return the contents of the mattresses TO

there is good deal of breaking and
wasting material, which settles in fine
dust on the lower side Of the mattress.
This waste should all be removed and re.
placed with fresh material. If moss can
not be procured shucks will answer very

A LETTER In REPLY.

The Attorney General has published let
ter addressed to the Governor in answer to
his (the Governor's) communication, calling
on the Attorney General to prosecute the
Clinton case, and also calling his attention to
developments in the trials before the Superior
Criminal and the Superior District Courts.
The Attorney General expresses surprise
that the report of the experts should have
been published two days before the trial in
the Criminal Court, and surprise that the
Governor, indorsiug the report and conse-
quently believing the Auditor innocent, should
insist on his being prosecuted.
The Attorney General, in conclusion, as
sures the Governor that he has the develop
ments under consideration and investigation,
and that he will sc proceed with all convent
ent speed to place them promptly before the
courts, whenever sufficient testimony shall
warrant me in doing SO"
At last accounts the Governor I'D not re-
ceived the letter. 1t is probable it will be
presented to-day.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-President Grant is
here to attend to routine business. He had
interviews with the heads of Departments.
The Erie Railway has employed Dorman B.
Eaton to proceed to London to obtain two
and one-half million dollars remaining
from bonds negotiated there and which are
held by the London Banking Association and
James McHenry, on the ground that claims
may be made against them by Europeans,
which claims the Erie company do not recog-
nize.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-There was full
Cabinet meeting, except the Secretary of War.
Much routine business was transacted.
The withdrawal of the request for Judge
Fishers resignation was to give him time for
explanations. The President will interfere nc
further. The matter rests with Pierrepoint.
The President went North tonight
The orders for stamps, stamped envelopes,
etc., since the LIST, amount to so, 100000.

PEEPING AT THE STARS.

Apparently neither the boat race nor the
balloon ascension seems to have had any
effect upon the stellar arrangements SO far as
our personal observation is concerned. Last
evening we were shown by Mr.. L. Gilman
Parker, through his ive-inch achromatic
telescope, a host of wonders heavenward.
The night was unusually clear and every con-
dition favorable.
The double stars in Scorpio and Cygni, the
diamond lustre of Alpha in Lyra, all were
brought out mos. brilliantly Jupiter and his
moons, Saturn and his rings, were well and
clearly defined; and take it all in all, no more
entertaining evening can be passed than on
Canal street at the telescope Mr.. Parker is
man of culture and high attainments, and IS
thoroughly familiar with the stars and some
of his mathematical calculations are enough
to confuse the best ordered intellect.

A FORTHCOMING PROCLAMATION.

It is related that the Governor has
sixty days nine murders have been COM
mitted in Bossier parish, and it is prob
able that in view OF the lawlessness in
this and other parishes, and the inability
of the officers to execute the law, the Cover
nor will issue a proclamation calling on all
good citizens to organize themselves into a
posse comitdtus, and assist in maintaining the
peace and Furnishing offenders.
The statement goes no further than this,
although additional particulars might be in
teresting. 1t does not say. for instance,
anything about the character of or the causes
which led to the murders, nor anything
about the color of the people killed or the
color of the people killing, nor does it in any
way indicate in what parish lawlessness
exists, or what officers are unable to perform
their duty.
Strange that no one heard anything about
it until it was reported that the Governor had
received information and would issue proc
lamation.
Sheriff Smith, of East Feliciana and the
faithful did telegraph about ten days ago that
lawlessness existed in his parish, that he
could not execute the orders of court, and
what should he do? etc., but it has transpired
that Sheriff Smith was little excited, and
perhaps somewhat fatigued, and that outside
of couple of personal difficulties, in which
Smith was not interested, there Was really
nothing to be frightened at.
Is it not q little too soon to start the cry
Election day is good ways off yet.

NOTES FROM THE JETTIES.
What Has Been Done.

From Capt J. c. Griffths. who arrived
yesterday from the jetties, we obtain the fol-
lowing interesting items. The work is pro-
crossing finely, and much has already been
accomplished. The management have built
five houses for the accommodation of the
avoid any danger from sudden overfows, and
are leased to different parties who use them
as boarding houses for the workmen. Col.
Andrews has dismantled schooner and built
upon it large cabin, and here he will make
his home while the work on the jetties lasts.
He has now gone on a business trip to the
North and West, and leaves Capt Corthell,
engineer, in charge during his absence.
There are at present employed at work upon
the jetties about rs mechanics and 100
laborers. Ways $50 feet long have been con-
structed, for the purpose of building willow
RATS. Some of these RATS have been already
completed and sunk with stone along the
piling, which reaches out about mile on the
northeast side Of the Pass. There are eight
steam and hand pile-drivers already at work.
A blacksmith shop, carpenter shop and coal
yard have been erected, also on piles and
two barge loads of Mount Carbon coal are
now on their way down the river. Telegraph
communication is rapidly being pushed for
ward. 1t is ten miles from the head of South
Pass to where the jetties are being con-
stlucted, and the poles and wire have been
put up for seven miles, leaving only the compa-
ratively short distance Of three miles to finish.
The health of the men is reported as being
very excellent.

of Wilkes's Spirit Of the Times, was assaulted
to-day in the United States Hotel by Price
McGrath, the well-known turfman, on account
of an article in the Spirit severely stigma
tizing McGrath and John Chamberlin for
their management of the races at Long Branch-
McGrath struck Wilkes with a cane, and a
struggle ensued. There was some lively fight
ing, IN the course of which Wilkes's cane was
broken. Neither was hurt. Wilkes cLled
for the police, and on his complaint McGrsskl
was arrested for assault and battery. Justice
Scott will hear the Ca 9 on Friday. McGraGkl

A DRAYMAN'S PROTEST AGAINST THE
LEVEE RAILROAD.

The following communication from q well
known drayman against the organization of a
railroad along our river front we publish:
New ORLEANS, July 81, 1875.
Editors of the Bulletin:
In this evenings edition 1 notice the adj
vantages claimed by the proposed levee rail-
road, and beg leave to make the following
statement about the same:
One of the advantages claimed is to trans
port cotton to vessels in much shorter time
than is now required, which l think would be
| unnecessary, as the vessels can seldom or ever
| receive cotton as fast as it is hauled now, and
then they can not haul it any faster than it is
pressed.
Then they claim to shorten the stay of ves-
| sells, which any one connected with the ship
| ping or press business knows to be impossi-
BILE, as it is not the hauling of cotton that de-
lays the vessels, but it is the handling of
cotton by the brokers and pressing of cotton
that causes this delay.
Another of the advantages that is claimed
| is to cheaper the transportation, whereas
they ask permission to charge not to exceed
| 25 cents per bale, and at present the presses
are only paying from IL to Is cents per bale.
They also claim to be able to deliver the
cotton to ships just as wanted. which can be
done Dy drays IL III "ers 10 tne interest," oi Inc
presses and the buyers who want the cotton
shipped as soon as it comes through the
presses, as the pressmen want it out of the
way, and the buyers want it sent to the ship
imm ediately, SO as to get their bill of lading
signed. And they claim it would be in more
responsible hands; whereas, at present, the
presses never lose anything by these draymen,
as they collect from the draymen every loss
caused by them.
Then they claim they will employ more
men and pay the city more taxes, which is
easy to say but not to prove. If they will
state what the capital of said company is to
be, and the number of men to be employed,
will make a statement of the number OF
teams and men employed by the draymen OF
each and all the presses, and the value OF
the teams that taxes are paid on, and IN that
way prove that assertion not to be fact.
