CONFESSIONS OF A MAIL CARRIER
William G. Pridgen, lately a mail carrier,
was yesterday before United States Com
missioner Southworth for robbing the
Caited States mails. He had signifed an
intention to put in plea of guilty, but was
duly warned that he need not, if he chose,
disclose his crimes. However, his con-
science smote him and he concluded to
make q clear statement. He stated that
his father, Matthew Pridgen, resides in
Union county, Arkansas, and has been
mail contractor between Monroe, Louisi-
ana, and Hiilsborough, Arkansas, for
three years or more, and during that
time accused was sworn mail car.
Ter on that route. About the month OF
April, 1875, he confesses to have taken
from the mail bag letter and took
from it Sc in currency; the letter
WAS mailed in Ouachita City, but he
does not remember the address. He then
hid the letter under . log, by the road,
somewhere in Louisiana. In January, 1876.
he stole another letter, between Marion
and Oakland postoHices, Louisiana, and
took about $23 from it. This letter was
mailed 1t Oakland, by Mr.. Slade, to party
in New Orleans. In March, 1876, he stole
. third letter from the bag, between

APPARATUS TO SAVE LIFE AND PROP
ERrY.-One of the most terrible of disas-
ters is q vessel on FIRE at sea, and it is Won
derful that inventors have 80 long failed
to produce q continuance for the proven
ton or suppression of fire on shipboard.
At last Mr.. Aristide Gerard. hydraulic
engineer, has quite perfected q machine
that will, in part, at least, rob fire of its
terrors, which he calls the thermoscope
An indicator, with electrical battery at.
tachment, may be located in any part OF q
vessel where it can be readily observed,
and from the indicator pipes extend as far
into the hold ss is wished. At the extreme
end is placed copper sphere, hollow,
the only orifce being that which opens
into the pipe. This sphere is so managed
that in less than half minute after an un.
usual heat is produced the air will expand
and seek relief through the pipes, and the
instant that the pressure reaches the in
dictator mercury rises in its tube. which
forms an electrical current, and bell on
the dial is made to ring continually, or until
the heat is abated at the globe. .....
Another invention, connected with the
same indicator, is called the hydroscope,
which connects with the lower hold by
metallic pipes. It consists Of stationary
cylinder, open at Its lower extremi-
ty, and the pipe is screwed on to
q tube in the closed top. Should
the vessel spring leak the water will nee.
essarily cause an air pressure in the cylin-
der, which fact at once is made known by
the indicator-the same as in the Their
moscope-and bell announces that there
is an unusual quantity of water in the YES
sci. The indicators for both instruments
will show the extent of the misfortune,
which warn the officers of danger. Being
apprised of fire or water existing in the
hold, proper steps may be taken to remedy
the evils before they gain too much head
way.
The application is simple enough, but it
is quite impossible for person not versed
in the technicalities to properly describe
these inventions. Fortunately the gentle
men having the machines in charge have
them on exhibition ct No. As Carondelet
street, and the curious are invited to pay
visit, when Mr.. Gerard or Mr.. ]. s.
Lanphier will make practical demonstra-
tions. Persons in commercial life and
travellers should make themselves &C.
quainted with these inventions.

That TERRIBLE Row.-Two OF the city
papers Yesterday had bloody shirt item
which they magni6ed and Haunted with as
much zest as if a s'nigaer had been killed
Had the Times or the Picagune had q
reporter at the colored Democratic meet
ing. held at the corner of Tchoupitoulss
and Notre Dame streets, Monday night, as
the REPUBLICAN had, they would not have
been so wofully gulled as they were about
the meeting having been broken up by
white Radicals. The fact is that the meet
ing was not interrupted in the least, and it
adjourned as usual. The only bit of inter-
ruption that can be mentioned was made
while somebody was speaking and giving
utterapce to an assertion that all Radicals
were thieves. A voice in the room resented
the insult by simply denying the statement.
The entire club, which does not number
more than a dozen or so members, is chal-
lenged to show anything further in the
way of disturbance.
DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL CoMMITTEE.-This
body last night, probably taking newspa-
per reports, appointed committee to in
vestieate the alleged disturbance at the
colored Democratic club Monday night.
By all means let the subject be thoroughly
sifted, and place the blame just where it be
longs and give the facts to the public.

have been expected, the laborers recently
discharged by the city authorities are be-
coming FESTIVE, to put it lightly, as the fol-
lowing communication shows. The COM
mittee waited II the Mayor and Admins.
traitors yesterday, and handed in their let
tor. The committee was not followed by
many Of the men, and there was no demon
straton, though it was evident that they
meant all, and more, than they uttered:
To the City Council of New Orleans:
GENTLEMEN--We, the undersigned,
laboriug men, held on Saturday, the nine
teenth instant, respectfully represent that,
owing to causes beyond our control, We
find ourselves in condition of restitution
which must be promptly alleviated. 1t Is
useless to 90 into an argument as to the
cause of our distress. Suffice 1t to say 1t 10
real, and we must have work, the only re-
lief possible.
We would respectfully suggest that the
City Council request representatives from
the different charitable associations, the
Board of Underwriters, the Cotton Ex-
change, and such citiz ms as are in posi-
ton to assist in atfording relief, to meet in
the Mayors parlor at the earliest practica-
BILE moment to devise NEAR to prevent one
of two evils-starvati0n or riot.
We are not demanding alms, but work,
and as in duty bound, etc.
