From a special TO the Inter. Ocean
of 18th inst:
The Secretary of the Treasury, upon
the recommendation of Commissioner
Douglass, has issued an order trans.
ferring the entire force of Supervise RS
of internal revenue, with their clerks
and the special revenue agents. to new
fields. Mr.. Powell, of the Indiana
District, goes to San Francisco; Nc
Donald, of the Missouri District, goes
to Philadelphia; Hedrick, of the Iowa
District, goes to Chicago; Sewall, of
Boston goes to Cincinnati /; Tuition, Of
Philadelphia, goes to st. Louis; Mum.
of Illinois, goes to New York City:
Perry, OF North Carolina, goes to Iowa:
a tas . Of New Work gHss tS Ess
changed: Foulke, Of San Francisco,
goes to Richmond. Changes of spe-
cial agents have not yet been announc-
ed. 1t is believed that great advant-
age will como to the service in thus
setting the whole revenue force in the
branches named at work in new fields.
We were made aware of this con-
tcmp'ated change on Monday last but
for prudential reasons did not an
nonnce it. Yesterday, 4th inst, tel.
egram from Commissioner Douglass
was received here announcing a sus-
pension of the transfer, and that il
wonld not take place until further Or
ders. The arrangement sending Gen.
Hedrick to so important field as
Chicago, was very complimentary to
him and shows the high estimation in
which he is held at the Department.
Under the present status of the matter
of course ii eau only be conjectured
whether the change will occur at all
or not. For the present at least, it is
suspended. Originally the change
was to occur on the 10th Of the present
month. Gen. IT,, will probably arrive
home this week.

Yesterday about 3 O'Clock p. NJ. No,

Southwestern Railroad, collided with
passenger train No. 4ata curve, one
and one-hslf miles east of Eldon,
Both engines were smashed to
smithereens, the tender of one tcle-
escoping tho baggage car, passing half
way through it. Twelve or fifteen
passengers were more or less bruised,
and some had ribs and limbs broken.
but mono were fatally injured. The
two engineers, Messrs Rhodes and
Rice, wcrc pretty badly injured. The
accident is said to have been caused
by the negligence of Conductor Fox,
who had received dispatch to wait
at Etdon until the other train passed,
but as it was thirty-five minutes until
the other train was due, he concluded
that he could make the next station.
Such criminal disregard of orders
should be severely punished.

Get. you can draw hard or soft water,

has it so arranged that the ashes, in
stead of being taken up with shovel,
drop into the cellar furnace flue, and
are carried out at the same time that
tho flue is cleared, thereby saving the
housekecper dirty job every winter
morning. When we build again we
want Dan to be our architect.

The Abba Union has this TO cay in
regard to regulating railroads:
The most effective, if not the only
plan of regulating railroads, aside
from State ownership, is to secure
competition. Ottumwa wants no 9TH
er railroad regulation, nor does any
other competing point. Monroe coun-
~ has the opportunity to secure this
regulation Of freight and passenger
tariff, which will be of inestimable
value while the great problem Of the
age 10 being solved by experiments.
Competition in freights has enabled
Centervilie to pay five or six cents per
bushel more for grain during the cur.
rent season, than Abba could pay.
The Quincy & st. Paul Railroad
Company propose to build q road from
Moulton to Albis, if the latter place
will contribute $4,000.
The following is q condensation Of
tho City Marshal's report for the

The remains Of this truly good man were
followed To their last resting place, in the Ma
sonic Cemetery at Delhi, on last Sunday. by
many sonowing friends. We have been in
timately acquainted with Capt. Merritt for
several years, during which time we have
ever regarded him as tue Mason, pure
Christian, warm hearted and generous
friend, bene volent almost to a fault, an upright
gentleman, strictly jrst and honorable in all
his dealings with his fellow men, a provident,
kind, cheerful and devoted companion. a
neiyhbor in every sense Of the word, true
patriot and exemplary citizen. Although he
was. we believe, native Of one of the New
England States, lie had been a citizen ol
Louisiana for many years, and had formed an
extensive acquaintance in many parts OF the
State, and was universally admired for hi
good qualities Of heart; indeed, we can con
scienciousiy say, if lie had any faults w
never discovered them during long term o
the most intimate relationship, and that W.

MONROE.

We have been over TO this thriving
little city again. Signs Of improve
ment are visible on every hand new
buildings are going up all over town,
mostly residences. Col. c. ii. Morri.
son is moving his residence from his
plantation below town upon his town
property north of the railroad.
We Noticed quite u number OF faml-
" groceries and dry goods stores in
full blast; in fact, Monroe is some
thing like Rayville--a great deal
more business is carried there than is
indicated by the advertising columns
of the local papers, for the appearance
of these would impress the mind of q
stranger with the idea that it was an
inferior town in business point Of
view. We are satisfied that this old
fogy spirit of want of enterprise and
public-spirit has been the principal
obstruction to the progress OF Monro''
for there is no better locality in North
Louisiana for prosperous city than
Monroe. with its railroad terminus,
the beautiful Ouachita River and its
tributaries, surrounded by the most
beautifu! and fertile farms to be seen
anywhere and with superior advan-
tages of schools, churches, etc.
Of course, we called around to see
the publishers of the papers, and
found Capt. G. W. McCranie, Of the
