Garrison, Phillips and whittier,

The thought that has of late risen in
many minds of the singularity Of the reten-
ton among us of the pioneers in anti.slavery
agitation, while the political workers have
heen gradually dropping away for the last
ten years, finds expression again from Gill
bert Haven in an interesting article in the
Independent of last week. Mr. Haven says:
Strange that, amid this almost universal
waning of the political lights, the suns from
which they, and all, drew their influence
should still shine on with hardly dimin-
ished lustre! 1t was suggestive to hear the
youn5 officer at the funeral OF the last dead
of these civil chieftains call out the names
of William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell
Phillips and John G. Whittier, as in
yited and honored guests at the
burial of their son in the anti-slavery gos-
pei. The first and last responded, and,
though showing age and its feebleness, Mr..
Garrison-the chief of the chiefs, the foup.
tain-head OF the whole movement. which in
its volume and progress at last involved
State and Church, army and navy, every
thing and every person in the realm-was
still able to appear and receive the
h0nors that belong to his illustrious career.
These three-Garrison, the editor; Phillips,
the orator; Whittier, the poet-were more
than any other three or thirty embodiment
OF the reform, the seed of the fruit not

THE MOBILE LINE.-During the past
summer and fall the managers of this relia.
BILE route have been active in improving
their line and it is to-day the finest and
best equipped road in the South. Messrs.
Clark, Reeve Il Co., of Philadelphia, have
contracts for erecting iron bridges over the
streams between New Orleans and Mobile,
and the work is now being actively pushed
forward, the last shipment of the ironwork
having been made. A superb holel has
been built at Bay St. Louis, where passen-
gers are breakfasted and dined on excellent
fare at reasonable price. The connections
of this line, both by Louisville and Atlanta,
are in the finest order and repair, as its
prompt arrival and departure daily proves,
the mail and express by this line always
arriving on time. The superior condition
of this line over all others must be recog.
nized by the traveller. The office of the
Mobile line is opposite the City Hotel, cor
ner of Camp and Common streets, where
reliable information can be had.

Can you inform the public why the City
Administrators, who claim to be the repre-.
sentatives of the people, in response to the
demand of the taxpayers for reduction of
their imposts, limit their explain ations to
those burdens imposed by the Radical
Legislature" police, park, etc.,
In their late budget the current city
expenses are estimated (excluding interest,
police, city debt, park and schools), at
sl,437, 1872 72!-$4Os,O5O for keeping streets,
ETC., in order The citizens generally,
think, would like to know what is proposed
to be done to the streets, to require such an
expense; s23,64O for the Surveyor; $500
salaries in the Department of Assessments!
$l73, 200 for criminal justice, besides $4,000
for law charges not including attorneys.
Can not our Administrators make q little
reduction on these items, while they are
complaining of those fixed by the Legis-

Several of the Maine ship builders have

deep 'rater voyage around Cape Horn to Cali.
fornia or to the East indies.
This season mention is made of four new
ships built in Bath, Portland and Freeport
that are loading for SanFran eco direct from
Boston or New York at a charter of 2iO0o
gross, and neither of them quicker dispatch
than sixty days, while the same ships could
freight over $4,000 to Liverpool from here,
and perform the voyage in one-third the
time.
None are more forcibly aware of the
mistake made than the owners of these ships
themselves. A very large portion of the
fleet of vessels that were here last winter,
and now in the Pacific, their worthy skip
pers claimed that they we're treated badly
here last season by freights being kept
down, while now, and since the fall trade
opened, New Orleans is paying better
treights than any other port on the Atlantic
or Pacific.
The dredgeboat Essayons is in the Brady
Il Mcclellan dry dock, where she is having
some of her plank taken Off and being pre-.
pared for inspection before sending esti-
mates to Washington as to the cost of re-.
building her.
The scarcity of Spanish vessels this season
is unprecedented. In their stead, however,
Norway is doing remarkably we'll. there
being fifteen Norwegians in port and more
coming.
A. A. Maginnis' Sons are shipping quts
large lot of oil cake on the State of Ala

The steamship Reading, lately ashore in
the Delaware, had cargo of coal for the
Jackson railroad. She has undergone re-
pairs, and left on the eighteenth for this
port.

Immigration from NIississippi.

We learn from the upper parishes that
large numbers of the colored people of Is,
saquena county, Mississippi, are crossing
over into Louisiana, bringing their families
and effects with them. They have appa-
rently come to stay. Mississippi is not the
most desirable State in the Union for de-
cent colored mans home, and it is quite
natural that there should be an exodus.
What Mississippi loses by her blindness this
State will gain and keep, so long as the
people behave properly toward those who
seek our hospitabie shores as an asylum
from persecution,

The Southern RepuhlicRus.

The new and rapidly growing organiza-

Club held its regular weekly meeting last
night Our reporter failed to succeed to

priests sit in state, but he picked up some
Items of information from the large number
OF bystanders who make it practice to
throng Dryades street on the nights selected
for the meetings. 1t seemed 70 be the pre-
vailing opinion that the club is a Repub-
lican organization, notwithstanding the
Southern" prefix to the name. Certain it
Is thst o great many we'll known X epub-
licans have joined it, and there were some
jocose remarks indulged in about absorbing
the whole party-at least all of go cd moral
character-but as the speakers intended it as
a jest, it is perhaps hardly worth repeating.
From what our reporter saw, the club itself
is no joke, and the leading members are ap-
parently very much in earnest about some.
thing. Some of the known members frankly
say their object is to carry out the pub
lished programme of principles, most of
which it must be confessed are very good
Their platform would of course be more ac-
| ceptable to the average politician of Re-
publican proclivities if il had the
stamp and sanction of regular au-
thority, though it's single name of
Republican seems to attract special in
forest and secure large following. What
reasons the projectors have for movement
aside from the great Republican party,
with view to secure it's proper ends, are
best known to them. 1t is said on the
| streets that the club is composed to some
extent of members who have not been ac
corded the influence in the party which
| their talents entitle them to, and they re-
| fuse to act with an organization in which
| the principal duty consists in voting and
vindicating the character of suspicious Off
cials; that, in short if they can not have
any influence in controlling Republican
policy, they do not, at least, want to be
placed in position where it is cons family
necessary to apologize for things they never
approved of. We regard this club as
harmless organization, so far as the Repub.
lican party is concerned, SO long as credit
able selections are made for office. Various
and conflicting views are entertained by the
general public, come even going so far as to
intimate that the Southern Republicans will
hold the balance of power in the next elec.
tion, even if they are not able to assume a
leading part.

The comrades of the Post of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, located in this city,
gave reception at their hall on Camp
street last night, to which the ladies were
invited, and large number of the wives
and sisters of our Union soldiers honored
the occasion with their presence. The eve.

all guests invited went away satisfied with
the entertainment. The social features of
the Grand Army organization are most

comrades are made welcome, and they keep

he moved, in view of the depressed condi-
