=. Secretary OF State Deslonde has notified

80. A committee, representing fire CON-
pany of the town of onaldsonville, arrived
in the city on Friday. The visit was made
for the purpose Of having trial of the old
engine of Louisiana Hose, and if the tiial

chine
There was a meeting last evening of
the Board of Directors of the Mechanics
Manufacturing Cooperative Association, and
the charter was formally passed and ordered
to be published in the several papers of the
city. resolution was also passed calling in
all subscriptions to stock, and appointing
Messrs j. Winehill, Jacob Muller and Richard
Hummell as a committee to collect the same
and to solicit new subscribers. Other bust
ness was transacted.
The rumor that detectives of the Reve-
nue. Service are on their way here, is not
credited inwell-informed circles In fact, the
dlstilleries here have been closed so long that
it is difficult to see why the Secretary should
take the trouble to order another investiga-
ton of affairs that were pretty thoroughly
looked into some time ago. The places where
most of the "whisky money in this country
has been made are unquestionably Cincinnati,
st. Louis and Chicago. There may have
been few small links Of the great ring chain
down here, but if the serpent is to be killed
he must be assailed vigorously up West. In
this connection we may state that Thomas J.
Brady, who relieved p B. Hunt as Supervisor
of the district embracing Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Alabama and Louisiana, has removed his
headquarters from Lexington to Louisville,
and is expected in New Orleans shortly.
-. The recent movement in Republican
ranks looking to the nomination OF Col. Geo.
williamson for Governor, is exciting consi-
derable uneasiness among their leaders. 1t is
stated his visit here is occasioned by pres
sing invitation extended by an lumber OF prom
inent Radicals, and that his name has been
selected because it was thought there is no
other man in their party who can heal the
dissensions now existing in their ranks, and
at the same time draw off some Conservative
strength. 1t would appear Gov. Kellogg name
has hardly been mentioned as probable candi-
date for anything, as he is considered out in
the cold. The recent movements Of Repuo-
lcan lights through several Of the parishes
would seem to indicate that the negroes are
going to work on their own hook, irrespective
of their old leaders. At any rate, there is
considerable confusion in their ranks and the
near future promises to disclose some rich
developments.
Time flies, and
The event is sure
