Winthrop Locals.
There was fire in Whitman building on Main
street, ON Monday last, about IL o'clock noon. The
fire occurred in the third story occupied by Mrs.
Emma 3. Foster. If it had burned ten minutes
longer the whole building would have been SO far
along that its destruction could not have been pre-
vented. There is no fire engine in Winthrop, and
if one building should burn many others would
have to burn also. The fire at Pennington and
this sma II FIRE should warn the citizens of Win
throp that the precauton Of having fire depart.
ment might save the loss ofmuch property. There
is already a call by some Of the citizens for a
town meeting for the purpose of preparing
against FIRE It is to be hoped that the good peo-
pie of Winthrop will attend to this matter in no
doubtful ways.
Loring Foss has made contract with Mr.. link
er to raise his building another story. The third
story is to be occupied by the Masons.
Tn. jail Work shep-wh"t has bee"
done.
The County Commissioners Of this county, at
their session on the 2lst and ODD inst, gave the
Jail workshop and its business and results pretty
thorough overhauling; examined the books, goods
&C., and took account of stock. Every thing was
found in the most satisfactory condition; and
contrary to the expectations OF all, there was
found to be no loss to the county thus far The
inmates take kindly and inteiligently to their work
and the goods are giving the best Of satisfaction
The boots are pronounced equal to any made in
the State. One firm in this city is selling them
~ il leading boot Of which it sells more proba-
bly,, than any other Arm in town. The goods
are sold as fast as manu- factured If this state Of
affairs continues, the longer the work is carried
on the better will be the results financially. Ev,
erything is quiet and orderly about the Jail and
shop. Smoking in the shop, either by the help,
the prisoners the visitors is strictly and entire
" forbidden. All persons who have business with
prisoners are hereafter required to apply through
the Jail Office, as NO communication win be allow
ed with them in the shop. When The jailor or
turnkey deems it necessary that any one should
have business with prisoners they will be called in
to the jail or office. After the close of orders for
winter work IL is expected that the inmates will be
put to making mems red slippers, and thus WORK.

a young man of decent look, but a

Coy. Kellogg has been fortunate
recently in making official appoint
ments that have met with general sat
isfaction among both political parties.
Whether this arises from the inn
proved state of public feeling engend-
cred by the compromise and the cheer
ing agricultural and commercial pr Os-
poets wllicl, exist all over the State,
or from tile really superior character
af recent appoiutoes to office, is an
open question. The fact, however,
is undoubted. The Morehouse Cla,
ion of last week-a Democratic paper
says:
Mr.. Samuel w. Reilly received last
week his commission as Tax Collector
OF Morehouse parish. While we would
like to see Democrat in the office,
at the same time as we can not get
one, we can express our satisfac-
tion with Mr.. Reilly. We know that
he is an honest man, aud We feel full
confidence that under his manage
ment the affairs Of the Tax Collectors
office will be conducted squarely aud
safely. The appointment Of our old
friend, Maj. z. K. w. Rosa man
universally esteemed here for his cor
rectness and upright character-ae
deputy Csllectorj gives additional as
surance of the future safe manage
ment of the business Of this Office.

A MOulting Bird.
1f,rom the New Orleans Time


It is ROW contemplated in the in
expressive language of 3 we'll known
partisan, Ito pluck the conservative
feathers from the Democratic cock, y
and permit the pinions Of that noble
bird to cleave the empyrean untrana-
meled by entangling alliances. The
conservative element discredited by
by compromise, Liberals are tainted
with a Warmothean past, old line
Wings a score of years ago were en-
tirely too virulent, and, all things
considered, it is deemed best that the
Narrow Gaugers" should form in a
compact phalanx. It is true that
many enthusiasts who thirty five
years ago paraded these streets with
the typical raccoon and log-cabin,
long ago took final journey out
Girod street, but the leaven of their
heresy remains, and to quote q very
violent metaphor, " "stinks in the
nost,ils of Democracy" The pha-
lanx alluded to, will no doubt be very
compact. 1t is anticipated that the
grand demonstration which is to in
dicate an unqualified endorsement Of
the movement will be at least half a
square in length. That trade will in
any way be disastrously affected by
their enthusiasm is secuted as q base
invention of the enemy. Upon sec
ond thoughts they may be right in
this conjecture. So compact seems
the proposed organization destined
to be, that few if any Of those inter
ested iE material affairs will find a
place within that sacred seclusion.
Being close corporation, with y lim-
tied number of participants, tue
prizes in this political lottery must q
course faH to every member.
The vote of Louisiana in the Elec-
toral College has never been estima-
ted of great Importance and rarely
effects the national issue. 1t may be
best to divide the Collectorships,
Marshalsltips and Postmasterships
between the gathering. Including
the deputyships and fat clerkslips.
there would be o place apiece, and
for four years at least we might look
forward to unalloyed harmony.

Is the Pope Coming to America

The correspondent of the Paris DeJats
in Rome writes thus:
"The appointment of an American
Cardinal is an act more important than
has been generally supposed. At the
same time the Pope nominated q consid-
derable number of Bishops for the United
States. The Prelate who carries to Mon
signor McCloskey his beretta will not
perform o mere act of ceremony; he is
charged with most important mission.
The Holy See has firmly resolved to
transport itself to the United States,
should the stay in Rome become insup-
portable. 1t knows well that neither
France nor Austria could give it asylum
without an almost certain risk of war
with Germany. 1t is doubtful whether
England would maintain the offer she
once made of the Island of Malta, and
Spain is too much disturbed for the
Pope to think seriously of refuge there,
at least under existing circumstances.
We must not forget that the Saint Siege
has taken the precaution to create con-
siderable reserve fund, which would be
by no means useless in the States. This
reserve does not count hundreds of mil
lOuS, 40 sOLlc pnPOiS, 1ihOioci W CulClilu-
tions, are pleased to declare, but it
amounts to over forty millions (e1, ,600,-
000), and increases almost daily.
/ have often heard this idea broached
in Paris 10y Ultramontanes, and there is
every reason to believe the Debats' cor
respondent to be well informed. It re-
mains only to learn how the statesmen of
America will receive the notion. The
same obvious reasons which have made
England tacitly withdraw her preferred
hospitality will carry their weight even
over the Atlantic.

A New Venice.

Mr.. Frederick A. Johnson has adj
dressed letter to the ST. Louis Trade
Journal, warmly indorsing the opinion
that great city is sure to spring up in
the Balize at the head of Eads' jetties,
and gives the following as some of the
reasons why this city will be necessity:
give employment to numerous people of
all classes, from laborers up. Saloons,
boarding-houses, billiard rooms, stores,
and many other classes of business in a
small way, will form the nucleus of city,
and, upon the completion of the labors
of Capt. Eads, warehouses will be erect
ed, and elevators, and ships will dis
charge and load at the new city rather
than stand the outrageous charges Incl
dental to ascending the river to New Or
leans. This would also necessitate a
custom house and other public offices at
this contemplated city. If we look at
the items of expense of a vessel of 1,115
tons from the Gulf to New Orleans and
back, we may depend upon it that she
will, when possible, make the jetty or
city thereat the termination of her voy-
age, thereby making total saving of
$500.
The st. Louis Democrat makes the
following comments on the coming city:
"All who feel disposed to laugh at the
proposition to build the " City of Eads"
have the unqualified permission of the
Democrat to do so. But all are begged
to remember that "those laugh best who
laugh last" The City of New Orleans
boasts very Justly Of the salubrity of the
magnificent "gulf breeze" The City
of Eads will be located on the threshold
of this gulf, while New Orleans is 100
miles inland. New Orleans is surround
ed by swamps in fact it is a swamp it
self. The City of Eads will be built up
on the firm land of South Pass, free
from the malarious influences of swamps.
1t will have broad and beautiful streets,
paved with the shells of the gulf, and
shaded by the magnificent magnolia and
superb oleander. It's grade will be es-
tablished sufficiently high to insure a
good drainage, and there is positively no
reason why it may not be made one of
the most attractive cities of the world. !"
