" Bide Wonder has Her Say.

The editor of the Courier, in the
Daily on Wednesday, just for the
sake of giving the editor of the Uni
tartan Advocate "gouge," couples
his name with the editor of the Star,
and says spitefully: "The editors of
the Star and Unitarian advocate, for
the sake of making an ungenerous
not happen to coincide in their re-
ligious, or lack of religious belief, as
sumed to charge him with being ms
strumental in causing delay or failure
in fling at private citizen who does
the delivery of their papers. They
do not, in their hearts, believe what
they publish, but it gives them q
chance to attack an orthodox preach
or, and through him the recognized
creed of the world, and so the end
iustifes the MEANS" I wish the
nice, pretty little editor of the Cou-
rier would inform me why he says
the editor of the advocate defends the
"private citizen" instead of accus-
ing, As the Courier would like the
public to believe, because the former
is not an a. orthodox" paper.

month Of the nl,.s,.sIppi.

The sixth report of General Comstock,
the government engineer charged with the
inspection of the progress of the works for
the Improvement of the South Pass of the
Mississippi river, under j. B. Eads, was re-
Ceived ct the War Department on the
ninth. The report Is quite lengthy and is
accompanied BY maps and diagrams fully
illustrating the work. 1t will be sent to
the public printer for publication at once.
The following extract is of interest:
At the mouth of the South Pass, between
November 19, 1876, and March 16 1877, q
few new wing dams have been built and
come old ones repaired About 1000 cubic
yards of material have been dredged out at
points where the channel was worst. A
storm of December 20, 1876, damaged the
ends of the jetties and the wing dams near
them quite severely. Twenty-six thousand
feet Of the west jetty has been raised by
mattresses two or three feet thick built in
place; a layer of stone eight-tenths of
foot thick on this portion gives it q
height varying from AYe-tenths Of foot
to two feet above average food tide. The
other end of this part is 700 feet from the
sea end of the ietty. One hundred sixty
seven new piles have been driven in the
ietty. Little work has bsen done on the
east jetty. The channel of twenty feet in
depth at the mouth of South Pass. which,
on December 81, 1876, had width of 200
feet from the pass to the gulf, has narrowed
at q point near the sea end of the jetties so
as to be but seventy feet in width, and at 8
point little below the head of the west
jetty so as to be ls0 feet in width.
The conditions upon which Mr.. Eads re-
ceived his first installment of $4,000 from
the government were channel of twenty
feet depth, 900 feet width, of permanent
character. 1t appears that. Eads received
his money on measurement made on a
certain occasion when the first two require
ments seemed to have been met, but that
there has never been the proper depth and
width In the channel before or since.

The Sc. Louis Disnater.

A couple of hours after midnight, last
Wednesday morning, there occurred ct St.
LOuis one of those events which thrilled
the country with horror at its terrible re-
suits. The magnificent Southern Hotel in
that city was destroyed by fire, and so
quickly did the flames get foothold and
SO rapidly did they spread that scores Of
men, women and children persisted in the
flames or were dashed to pieces leapiDg
into the streets from the upper windows.

jumping from her window. Kate Claxton,
heroine of the late Brooklyn fire, was in
the hotel, but made her escape without Sc.
riOus injury, as did Milton Mobiles, an actor
recently playing in this city. Among the
many lost were General George F. GOuley,
prominent MasOn; Rev. DIR. A. Z. Adams.
an English clergyman; Henry Hazen, chief
clerk in the auditors Office Of the Missouri

gambler, who rushed into the build

"Opportunltx.n

A lecture on this important subject was
delivered last Thursday evening by the
Rev. j. Hazard Hartztl, at the Church of
the Messiah, corner of Julia and st. Charles
streets, to large. cultivated and appre.
ciative audience. The orator has thoroughly
mastered his subject, and enlivened the
serious and hortatory tone which naturally
belongs to it by many humorous anecdotes
and felicitous touches of wit, all which re-
ceived immediate and suitable recognition
from his hearers. The fact of its being the
anniversary of Henry Clay's birthday was
seized by the lecturer IS q fit opportunity
to pay tribute Of glowing eulOgy to the
great Kentucky statesman, which elicited
enthusiastic applause. The peroratiOn was
perfect torrent of elOquepce, and the rapt
attention which it commanded testified to
its power. A lecture by Mr.. Hartzell is in
deed an opportunity" which no one who
has once heard him on the rOstrum would
willingly lose.

grees. Then it will demand men who have
been faithful. 1t can have no use for desert
ers, and no respect for them. Even the De-

soon have no use for them and will kick

The arrival of the Louisiana commission
in New Orleans and the publication of Gov
ernor Packard's letter to the President will
tend to concentrate the public attention
upon the points at issue in that State.
Whatever may be said about the dispOsi-
ton of the cases of Florida aud South Caro-
lima, they offer no preeedents by which to
Judge Louisiana. If it were practicable to
obtain Justice in the SOuth there can be no
doubt that at least six States would have
been carried by the Republicans, and con-
oeded to them without . contest. In
Florida and South Carclina the Repub
| lican electoral ticket Was elected and
Gratis were given the State ticket upon
teehnicaities, and in the last it is vir-
| tnally conceded to them in the interest of
reconciliation" without an effort to iustiiy
that course on any other ground. 1t is per
fectly notorious that but for the fact that
the Democratic local candidates in these
| States received q few more votes than the
Democratic electoral candidates, and the
Republican local candidates received q
few votes less than the Republican elee-
| toral candidates, this divided result never
would have been conceded even in the
present feverish zeal for conciliation.
Now, when we come to Louisiana, this con-
ditiOn has no existence. There is no pre-
| tence that the national and the State cleo
/ bAoAA1 BCoA tAAJ bAOh A0AesAOAo W OeeoA VSnOAs
| There ls no pretence that discrimination
was made against the local Republican
candidates. On the contrary, the discrim-
| inatiOn appears to have been the other
way, and those shifting and supple organs
of a general unconditional surrender will
do we'll 20 examine the figures of the late
election, if they would know upon what
dangerous ground they tread.
IL is we'll known that many parishes oi
Louisiana were overwhelmed by the bull
doz 4rs, and that in many strong Repub-
lican precincts no Republican votes were
cast. II is well known that by law of the
! State Returning Board is required to threw
ont the vote of such parishes as are carried
by such means, and that they did throw
them out The result of the Returning
Boards count for presidential electors was
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1877-04-14

Average Republican vote, "a, ,4So
Republican majority, 1891.
The Returning Board count for Governor
gave Stephen B. Packard, Republican,
"a, ga votes, or nearly 200 more than the
average vote cast for the Hayes and
Wheeler electors, and 600 more than any
one of four of the electors received. By
analyzing this vote it will be seen that five
of the Republican presidential electors
might have betn defeated and yet Cover
nor Packard been elected by clear major
ity. BY the Democratic count, which in
eluded all the bulldozed districts, the dis
parity was still greater, Governor Packard
leading the average Republican electoral
vote more than 700. When 1t is considered
that the defeat of any of those electors
would have defeated Hayes and Wheeler,
the Importance Of these figures will be ap-
preciated, and candid men viii hesitate in
their mad CRY for c0nciliatiOn on any terms.
Let us look this issue squarely in the face
and have the courage TO decide Il upon its
merits and not in the interest Of any eenti-
mental policy. 1t is evident that the com
misaiOn sent to Louisiana has no power and
no call TO act. Either the Returning Board
was right or II was wrong ae . whole, and
it Il impossible to divide the subject. No
cane man believes that the Republican
elector who received the smallest vote
could have been elected while Governor
Packard Was defeated. In order to over
throw Governor Packard nothing osn ba
elearer than that the Returning Board must
be discredited, and it can not be discredit-
ed in ita canvass Of the vote for Governor
without invalidating the right and the jus
tice Of declaring the Hayes electors TO have
been chosen. This iasue. once raised ,
can not be dodged, and the policy
