Our CustOmlhouse.

We copy as follows from the Washington
National Republican:
Special Agent Kinsella has made report
on the condition of the New Orleans
CustomhOuse. He says that the organiza.
ti0n OF the various departments is very
satisfactory and the administration of
business has not been impaired, as alleged,
by the political complications in the State.
In addition to the above, Mr.. Kinsella
reported that the customs laws and regula-
tions were more strictly Complied with and
more rigidly followed at New Orleans than
at any other port known to him.
While there may have been some appoint
ments made for political reasons Or in party
interest, those positions requiring it have
been filled by the ablest and most efficient
clerks. The business Of the port works
smoothly and Collector Casey, by his
judicious management, has given satisfac-
ton to all importers and merchants, and,
at the same time he has not disregarded
political claims.
Special Agent Kinsella returned to this
city on Friday last. He comes back to US
full of vim and vigor, and by his well
known business capacity will no doubt see
that the port of New Orleans will in the
future, as in the past, jnstify his favorable
report.

Taxpayers Coming to the Front.

Within five day the treasury of the city
has received large accessione to Its treasury
from taxpayers Of 1875. Beginning on the
sixteenth instant with about $4,000, the
payments have steadily increased, almost
doubling each day, till the total amount is
over $36O,OO0. This is partly due to the ex.
cellent management Of the city Administra
tors, and partly to the different feeling en-
tertained by the taxpayers themselves. A
continuance of both will relieve the city of
its embarrassments.
Its effect will soon be noticed by two most
deserving and often most suffering classes
of the employees of the city-ths school
teachers and the police. The collections of
the past week are almost enough to give
them two months pay, and in few days
they will receive it. They will certainly
indorse any praise of the taxpayer and tax
collector without being in any way extrava-
CANT.

Tho Louisiana Dry Deck.

For some time Mesers. Cothell, Brady &
Mcclellan, proprietors Of the Louisiana dry
dock and steam marine ways and ship yard,
of Algiers, been been engaged in the CON
struction of q dry dock destined to eclipse
all previous efforts in that line in this part
Of the country. The original design was
of three sections, and the last of these was
ready for launching yesterday. Launches
of the two other sections had been success
fully made on previous days, and their
completion by the addition of the third
sect;An was made one of the events OF
Algerian history.
Long before the hour the shipyard was
crowded with interested people watching
the preparations. A large number were
ladies who appreciated the event and were
as we'll instructed in its significance as
many of the ship owners and brokers who
were gathered near them. In front were
the two sections already in their permanent
position In front Of Patterson street, the
caulkers and painters busily engaged upon
them, and score or two of interested spec
tators perched on top. The third section.
about to be joined to them, was adorned
with flags and covered with great crowd
of delighted juveniles who were permitted
to be launched with it. Watching them,
and equally interested in the preparations,
we're representatives Of nearly all the
prominent shipping houses of New Orleans,
and the gallery of Hibernia Hall opposite
was filled with ladies.
The dock at present consists Of three
sections. each seyenty.five feet broad and
five feet long, and will be capable of &c
commodating vessels Of 200 feet keel. 1t
will have sinking capacity of twenty feet.
When completed there will be epace of
eight feet between each section, which may
be used separately or in connection with
the others. They are the best and heaviest
ever built here, are of ten by twelve and
thirteen by sixteen inca timber. Each Sec
tioa has twenty-four tanks, regulated by
sinking valves. The pumping machinery
is of the most superior construction, from
plans furnished from the Sinking Docks
Machine Company Of Philadelphia. and
manufactured here by Mr., William
Golding. Two moro sections are contem.
ylated to be added of the same superior
construction and capacity. The dock will
lie at Patterson street, near the Third Dis
trict ferry landing.
The preparations for launching had been
so well made that there was very little
knocking away Of stays before the section
started. Mr.. Robert Cathell seized bottle
of krug which hung by blue ribbon from
the top, and christened her the Louisiana
Dry Dock as she slid down the ways. The
huge structure went swiftly but gently into
the water, and its impetus was soon checked
by the hausers attached.
After the successful completion of the
launching Messrs. Cothen, Brady and
Mcclellan received the congratulation Of
the many business men who had come to
witness it. Good wishes and predictions of
abundant success were in everybody's
mouth, and the cock was accepted as an
omen of substantial prosperity in the near
future Of New Orleans.
