One by one they fade and fall. Nor
ton has sunk to a White House courtier,
and tenders unconditional submission
to Hayes policy. Dick Thompson will
represent him In the Cabinet. Conkling
is threatening retirement. and power
full cabal has organized to precipitate
such action. Blaine is sorely puzzled to
organize and equip his rebellion. and
vents his dissatisfaction by publishing
old letters abusing the Adams family.
And the hitherto indomitahle old
Chandler sells out his large establish
ment at Washington and falls back
upon Detroit, where forty years ago he
began as a counter-hopper and calico
measurer.
He says he is getting too old for farce
and burlesque, and Is only fit for heavy
old gentlemen's parts. Old Simon
Cameron is also IN a supreme disgust,
and thinks Hayes will "bust the party
to smithereens. Altogether all the
veteran Radical chiefs have been virtual
iyretired. Their places will be filed by
new men Of the Hayes persuasion cold
water, "pacific policy" fellows, who
will have new deal.

Morton fully vindicates Hayes policy
and goes back on Packard, Chamber
lain and Kellogg. He even argues that
Mr.. Hayes has preserved the integrity
OF the Republican party by his course,
though he still maintains that In Louis.
lana and South Carolina there has been
triumph OF an armed minority over o
legal majority of the people. The man
who can reconcile these propositions
must be.one of marvellous resources OF
ingenuity and skill.
The anti Hayesites have no difficulty
IA interpreting this remarkable exhibit
lion of sophistry. They ascribe 1t to
Horton's avarice and his large claims
On the patronage Of Hayes. Numerous
relatives, sons and nephews have to be
provided for. Their care and interests
have made the hitherto indispensable
and malignant enemy OF tho South as
mild-mannered, complainant and plia-
BILE as old Polonius himself.

John Dula. the negro who has been
appointed postmaster at st. Francis
vile, in the parish Of West Feliciana,
arrived few days ago in this city
claiming that he had been driven from
the parish by the white citizens, and
representing himself in the same old
familiar way as a martyr to his political
principles. The telegram Of DR.. Mum
ford to Gov. Nichols. which we printed
this morning, exposes Dula's fafsehood.
That this ignorant and corrupt negro Is
Objectionable to- the citizens Of the parish
as postmaster is of course true, but that
any wrong has been done him is false.
The only wrong done In this matter
was done by the Postmaster General in
appointing as postmaster OF st. Francis
Vile an ignorant negro who has fol
wears been obnoxious to the community
as one OF the most plant tools of one Of
the vilest rings OF Radical thieves in the
State. II Mr.. Key is sincerely desirous
of retaining the respect Of the people OF
this State, and Of infusing little effici.
ency and honesty into the postal service,
he must not make. such appointments
as this one. No doubt he has been i'm.
posed upon by parties here who recon-
mended Dula, bat he will do himself
credit and serve the government by
promptly reVekiDg the appointment,

Kellogg again desoends on US. For
tunately he does not come as he first ar
rived here from Illinois, In 1867, with a
commission in his pocket as Collector
OF the Port, or FOR any other high office.
Entering the Custom House without q
dollar he managed. In the few years Of
his service, to accumulate enough to lay
by competency and buy his way to the
eenatorship, and afterward to the guber-
material nomination. We trust that he
will not be allowed another opportunity
OF living upon the government, and en-
riching himself out OF the public treas

MENDOO HUMANITY.
why Ahmeda bad was Burnt.

A striking illustration Of that human
ity for which Hindoos are proverbial is
afforded by the account given in the In
dian newspapers OF their conduct during
q terrible conflagration which occurred
at Ahmedabad, Bombay on the twenty
fourth OF last month. The fire broke
out on the evening OF that day, and was
not extinguisbed until noon on the fol-
lowing day. It destroyed $50 houses
and an immense amount OF valuable
property. There was no water at hand
available for putting the fire out, and
the municipal water carts and "Puck-
ally bullocks" had to bring 1t from q
distance. Everybody was rushing hither
and thither; the soldiers Of the Thir-
tenth Regiment of native infantry,
assisted by their officers and the Euro
pean officials, were doing their utmost
to save life and property, and the whole
city, as might be expected, was in q
hubbub. The Hindoos, however, stood
and gazed at the spectacle, quite indif-
ferent to the terrible consequences,
and although many OF them howled,
screamed, and cried, they rendered no
further assistance toward extinguishing
the flames. Most of their houses were
furnished with tanks, but they refused
for considerable time to allow water
to be taken from these receptacles, "for
fear Of the animalculB being killed"

THE RAILROAD TAX.

The positive and emphatic refusal OF
the voters OF New Orleans to levy spe-
cial forced tax upon property for the
/ purpose of fostering a private enter
prise. will go further toward strengthen
/ Ing the credit and good name OF this
city and State than anything except the
wrestling OF the government Of Louisiana
| from the control of alien plunderers.
The vote cast on Friday against the
| proposition to conDscate portisn
OF the laboriously accumulated prop
erty OF real estate holders for the
| benefit OF q corporation that had no
more Just and equitable claim TO gov
ernmental support than any other cor
poration engaged In an enterprise cal
enlated to advance directly the inter.
ests of the corporators and Indirectly
those OF the community at large. was q
stronger condemnation OF dan gerous
and vicious principle sought to be en-
grated upon our institutions than we
had dared to hope for. 1t shows that
the people Of the city are emf
nently f1t for elf-government, be-
cause they have the intelligence to
comprehend that a measure which Is
wrong In principle cannot be justified
by even the most convincing arguments
as to the material advantages which 1t
may work, and the virtue to resist, In
vindication of sound principles of gov
eminent. the most seductive appeals to
their appetites and passions. The advo-
Gates Of this tax deliberately addressed
themselves to the worst instincts of CON-
munism In their appeals to the non
property holding and unemployed
voters Of the city to take
advantage OF their superiority
In numbers and virtually to rob their
neighbors of the wherewithal to sup
port themselves, and 1t must stand to
the lasting credit of the masses that
they refused to listen to these appeals.
Had the vote resulted otherwise than
1t did, fatal blow would there
by have been inflicted upon the
credit of the city and State.
Property holders, alarmed at such
serious menace to the security Of
property. would have hastened to rid
themselves of such perilous eneum-
ORANGES and to remove the proceeds
from the confines OF q State where, 1t
might have been said, all incentive to
industry and the accumulation Of say
ings Ia destroyed by the exposure Of
property to virtual spoliation through
appeals to ignorant suffrage.
No reasonable man could have expect
cd or urged that influx OF foreign
capital to this State, which is SO essen
tial to the development OF Its material
resources. Now, however, we may
safely point to the result OF the recent
vote as the strongest guaranty that
foreign capital could require that, under
the favorable auspices Of a free and
honest government and the strongly
manifested determination OF the masses
of the people to be guided In their
exercise of the right OF suffrage
by sound political, principles and
considerations of public good, Lou
isiana will prove to be the most in
viting field In the United States
for the investment Of the unemployed
millions Of dollars now lying idle in the
vaults of Northern and European banks.

FASHION IN AFRICA.
An African Belle In Full Costume.

In one tribe through whose territory
he passed after leaving Tanganyika,
Lieut.. Cameron found the women much
more regarded than Is usual among
Africans, and consequently they were
far more fashionable than the rest of
their sex In that happy country. One
of the bellies of the country is thus de-
scribed in Cameron's journal:
"She is merry sort OF person, this
Mrs. PakWanywa, and really ladylike
La her manners. It was great fun show
Ing her a looking. glass. She had never
seen one before, and was half afraid Of
it, and ashamed to show she was afraid.
She is a very dressy body, double rows
of cowries round her head, besides cop
per, iron and ivory ornaments stuck in
her hair, and just above and in front OF
each ear a tassel Of red and white beads.
A large necklace OF shells was round
her neck, and round her waist q string
Of opal.colored singo- mazzl, and a rope
made Of strings of red beads. Her
front apron was Of leopard skin, and the
rear one Of colored grass cloth, with it's
fringe strung with beads and cowries
sewed on 1t In a pattern bright iron
rings were round her ankles, and copper
and ivory bracelets on her arms. Her
hair was shaved little back from her
forehead. and three lines, each about q
quarter OF an inch wide, were painted
below. The nearest one to the hair was
red, the next black. and the next white !;
and, to crown all, she was freshly
anointed with oil, and looked sleek and
shiny. Her upper lip was perforated
and piece of stone inserted. until the
lip protruded a couple of inches, giving
a hideous expression to the face and
making her articulation quite indis-
tinct,"

BEATS THE RAILROAD. - The whole city has be en-
on tiptoe OF excitement over the question Of taxa
ton to build railroad to Texas; it would no
doubt be great thing for the city, yes, the
whole State. Gould such road be bull, the
value Of the rich products, such as cotton, grain,
etc., which would undoubtedly flow ia through
this great channel, would be incaloulable to us,
by adding new life to our languishing trade and
uniting us more closely with the most prosperous
OF States. But why bother ourselves about these
things now they have been decided by the ire
vocable voice Of the people. We have no doubt
when the road is built Moody will be the first TO

for the present he is satisfied and intends selling
his immense and beautiful selection OF gentle

Of such goods. Don't forget the Granite Palace,
