flame to the bottle, which exploded. The
burning oil scattered over Mrs. McComas's
clothing, and in an instant she was cnvelop.

she seized q child's spread, and endeavored
TO eXtinguish the fire, but the spread proved
too small to be of any use. The screams of
her three children, aged one, four and six
years respectively, attracted the attention of
a neighbor, who rushed in, and drawing Mrs.
McComas into the street, extinguishcd the
flames by wrapping her in width of carpet.
She was taken into neighbours house, and
after acute suffering died about ten o'clock

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Jelly 5.-The town was de-
serted to-day. No organized celebration.
The Executive Committee of the National
Grange held another meeting to-day, and
adopted the report of the subcommittee, to
whom had been referred the subject of inter-
national exchange between the cooperative
societies of Great Britain and the Patrons of
Husbandry of the United States. The report
is as follows:
1, That they have been impressed with the
earnest desire of our subordinate Oranges
and members OF every section of the Union
for active cooperation in business enter
prises, as expressed by efforts in this di-
Iection, and by appeals to this executive COM
mittee for q systematic and uniform plan for
such organizations, with our obligation to
mature and submit such plan for adoption.
2. That we would willingly and cordially
grasp the hand offered to us by our brethren
across the Atlantic and pledge to them our
readiness to cooperate with them in all laud-
able efforts to secure for productive industry
its Just rewards to restore honest dealing in all
commercial transactions and to advance the
moral, intellectual and material interests of
the masses of the people.
3. That having examined the details of the
plan of the cooperative societies Of Great
Britain as presented by their deputation to
the Uaited States, popularity known as the
..Rochdale plan" and its wonderful success.
We heartily recommend it to the careful con-
sideration of our State and subordinate
Oranges and to the members of our order,
and advise such action on the part of the
executive committees of the several States as
may be necessary to the organization and
operation Of such cooperative association
within our order. 81
4. To this end we recommend the appoint
1f % -
d. Worrall, Of the English deputation now
present, such rules, regulations, articles of
association, pamphlets and other writings, as
may be deemed necessary to place the desired
information in the connection before the
members Of our order, and that said commit

said information, and in such amount as they
deem advisable, 10 be distributed to the exc

THE TURNER'S OF MOBILE.
They Visit Our City.

In accordance with prearranged plan, the
Turner'S Association of Mobile left that city
Sunday morning on special train, to cele-
brate in our midst the glorious Fourth. Ac-
companying the society, which numbered
about one hundred and fifty, were three hum
dred other excursionists, who, taking advan-
tage of cheap rates OF transportation, deter.
mined on change of scene.
About o'clock in the afternoon the whole
party arrived at the depot foot Of Canal street,
where they were met by delegation Of
twelve gentlemen from the Louisiana Tur-
ners' Association.
Forming into line with the Mobile brass
the City Hotel where arrangements had been
made for their accommodation during their
stay. !.
Dinner was next in order, after which the
excursionists wended their way in small par
ties to the various places OF resort, in and
around the CITY. h@
About 1880 o'clock in the evening, escorted
by the special committee of Louisiana Tur.
ners, the Mobilians took up the line of pro-
cession from the hotel through some Of ths
principal thoroughfares to Turner Hall, cor
ner Of Lafayette and Dryades streets.
In the hall were assembled nearly all ths
New Orleans Turner'S, and reception which
lasted some time consumed the remainder 81
the evening.
The arrangement, we understand, is that
they take the A o'clock train this afternoon,
bound homeward. Let US hope that they
carry with them kindly thoughts Of the
Crescent City. <a7>A
The Excursionists.
Our visitors yesterday gave themselves up
to the full enjoyment of the day Some drove
out to that celebrated gastronome's Charley
Hoyt's to enjoy sumptuous dinner, whilst
the rest distributed themselves over the city
seeing the sights and taking in all that wss
to be seen. Quite number returned on the
afternoon train of the Mobile road, but naany
remained over. All acknowledged the trip an
enjoyable one, and return home with pleas
ant "reminiscences.

The Yicksburg Mail.

We have already alluded to the fact thai
the new contractor had failed to engage boats
to convey the mails to Vicksburg and the in.
termediate landings. Il is understood thai
the Ouachita Belle, which has taken the
place of the Lee, will leave this, evening wi tn.
out them, SO that we shall have three mails,
filled with importapt and valuable matter.
lying stored away in the Post Office for want o.
transportation
The Katie, which will arrive tonight, has
refused we learn, to bring the down mail.
and we are effectually cut off from mail COM
munication with the Upper Coast. The IN
convenience and injury resulting from this
interruption is almost incalculable, and it Is
not strange that our merchants who nave
business connections with that section feel
very much exasperated, and are urgent IN
their demands for the restoration OF their
mail COMMUNICATIONS.
For several years past parties who have
taken these contracts have sublet them
for sum much less than the original bid, to
the splendid steamboats, forming the Vicks-
burg packet line. These boats are remarka-
BILE for their speed; have never missed trip
during the year, and have delivered the mails
at all points along the river with remarkable
precision and regularity. Their owners have
gone 10 the no small expense of fitting up
apartments for route agents, and have afford
ed them every facility for the distribution Of
the mails.
Their boats, as mail carriers, cannot be sur
passed in this country.
Now, these gentlemen having learned by
experience that under this system of sub
letting, the contractor, and not the carrier,
realized the profits, some time ego put in a
bid for the contract for carrying the mails for
the present year, at the same time depositing
the required sum of money for the satisfac-
tory fnllfilment of the same. But gentle
man from Minnesota, having no business in
terests in this section, as far as we can learn,
underbid them and obtained the contract
His failure to procure boats to carry the mails
shows conclusively that he has not the means
himself to carry out the requirements OF his
contract, aud has thus far failed to acquire
them by association with others.
Such being the state OF the case, we earnest
ly and emphaticsly protest against this EN-
barge of our river mails, and call upon the
Postmaster General to come to the rescue OF
our mercantile community in this matter-to
annul the present contract and give 1t TO the
vicksbu,g boats, which are so admirably
fitted for the service and have invariably
given the utmost satisfaction.

rapid recovery. Not long after he had re-
turned to business he was much startled, on
opening an account presented at his Office, to
find himself charged with q full set of

description.
A domestic explanation naturally followed,
and his wife reminded him that he had always
made it a special desire that the fact of their
having emigrated to colony should never
prevent her dressing as a lady. 'And the
dress-makers here, you know, she added,
shave matters SO entirely in their own hands,
that they generally keep you waiting for
months for any thing new. So when was
told that you could not possibly recover. I

ATTOB' SEY GENERAL WILLIAMS.

follow,
r. e resignation of Mr.. Williams, though
prv claimed q voluntary act, was forced upon
BIN, and it came upon him as surprise
Ever since his nomination for Chez justice,
and particularly since the disclosure OF certain
facts connected with the withdrawal Of his
name for that high position, there has been
more or less dissatisfaction in the Republican
party with his continuance in the Cabinet,
and frequent ugly hints and charges from Re-
publican sources have been made against him
but until lately they were all to no purpose
The President paid no attention to these COM
plants Of corruption in the Department OF
Justice until last Friday night q week ago,
when he sent for Mr.. Williams and told him
frankly that his presence in the Cabinet was
embarrassing his administration and the
party.
To this stunning announcement Mr.. Will
Eams, of course, could only reply that he
would not stand moment in the way of the
Administration or the party. and that he
it was finally agreed that it should be with
held until the Presidents return from Boston,
and that Mr.. Williams should remain in his
Office till some time in May, to dispose Of GER
tain cases pending in the Supreme Court.
But whence this sudden overthrow OF the
Presidents late apparently unbounded con
idence in this man? It came from some
treacherous leakages in the Department Of
Justice. For instance, good natured friend
told the Presiden that one of the Attor-
ney Generals subordinates had 'blown on
him." that the investigating committee ap-
pointed to examine those charges made
aainst Mr. Williams when he was nominated
for Chief Justice had reached point where,
for the good Of all concerned, it was deemed
expedient to stop the investigation and shut
the books. Upon this broad hint, touching
matter of which he had before heard nothing,
the President sent for Mr. Williams and sug-
gested the propriety Of his resignation: At
this time Mrs. Williams was in New York, and
was little prepared for the startling despatch
which on Sunday morning last q week ago
came to her from Washington, requesting her
to Immediately return home She left by the
next train, and was no doubt greatly surprised
and perplexed to find that the Attorney Cen
eral who had declined the mission to Russia
and the mission to Austria would soon be
thrown back into the shades Of private life
