We do not believe that there Is an hon.
est man in America who has the slight
est respect for Garfield, yet he is such a
magnificent specimen Of the good old
machine Republican that we must sub
NIT the following observations of his,
delivered in recent interview on the
subject of the Presidents recent order
forbidding the recipients Of government
pap running machine politics. He says,
and there is a certain pathos in his way
Of putting 1t:
81 think 1t has given us more Of baekset
than the Southern policy, and awakened more
distrust. The argument 1 hear against it is
that Hayes, after receiving from the Republi-
can party all it can bestOw, Is now endeavor-
ing to destroy all me methods by which the
This feeling does not prevail alone among
machine politicians, out is often expressed by
the best class of Republicans. II it gains
ground, Hayes will break down.
There is something touching and
pathetic In this piece Of honest gush.
Probably it is the first time that Gar
field has ever been honest and ingenu-
GUS, and we may be doing him great
injustice and spelling his whole plan OF
existence and theory of life by publish
ing it-but we can't help it; the thing
is too sensational for any modern jour
nalist to overlook.
It is unnecessary cruelty to say that
we entirely agree with all he has said.
The whole statement is so graphic that
comment would only obscure it; but we
must be pardoned for attracting atten-
ton to the delicate and characteristic
way in which he puts 1.-THE argu-
ment hear" ETC., etc.
The dedicate Italian hand" Of Stan
ley Matthews Is nowhere when the true
blue puritan hypocrisy and equivoca-
ton OF Garfield comes into play.

The interchangeable president of the
New Orleans Pacific, some eight or ten
years ago, was at the head of large
wholesale drug store in this city, which
at that time was doing large business
with Texas. 1t was while in this posi-
ton he realized, by personal experience,
the enormous value Of this trade.
To give some idea of the extent of
that business then, we can state, as o
fact within our knowledge. that the
freight bills OF some of our houses
amounted from ten to fifteen thousand
dollars month on merchandise shipped
up Red river. This was in the infancy
Of the development Of Northern and
Western Texas, which has advanced
since with such amazing rapidity. What
would be the extent of this business
now IL our people had had the enter
prise and sagacity to secure sure and
constant means Of communication with
this growing and immensely productive
country? What incalculable loss and
injury to our commerce has resulted
from the withdrawal of this enormous
trade to st. Louis?
The agents Of our houses, who go to
Texas, are everywhere met with this re-
mark OF the resident traders and farm
ers, why don't your people in New
Orleans give us access to your city for
our produce? We all prefer to deal with
you; to buy and sell to you. It is to our
advantage, but you won't help us to get
to your city, and drive us to st. Louis
The fact we have referred to, of the
large freight bills of his own and other
houses, furnishes the key to the intense
zeal and absorbing earnestness of that
gentleman In urging upon our mer-
chants and capitalists the duty and
necessity OF subscribing to the small
amount demanded for the early realiza-
ton Of this most important of all the
enterprises ever undertaken in this city.
The same experience ought to be
brought home to all our merchants,
traders, and in fact to our whole pop
ulation, every class and individual Of
which is subjected to loss from the
want Of this road, as every one would
participate in the profits Of it when it
shall be established.
In view OF this fact and argument it
would be the most lamentable exhibit
ton Of lethargy and insensibility to our
true interests and duty IL our citizens
hold back or delay their subscriptions
to this enterprise.

It was about twenty five years ago that
our respected fellow citizen, MI. Musson,
who is still in the vigor Of his admira-
BILE administrative faculties, filled the
office of Postmaster in this city-flled
it, too, as it never was before or since
has been filled. During his term Mr..
Musson had to make up the mail for
Texas, including the whole correspond
ence of that State with the outside
world. This mail then did not quite
fill small sized cigar box. Now several
of the largest express wagons are re-
quired to transport that mail from the
postoffice to the boats and railroads,
through which it is distributed and de-
livered at the various points of delivery
in that vast and growing State.

There Is a mysterious character, a sort
OF mick OF the Woods" going about
the country indulging very peculiar
and diabolical propensity for cutting off
peoples heads. The headless corpse
found in Bayou st. John Wednesday
morning Is the sixth that has been dis
covered In this region within the past
few months. A singlar circumstance is
that in no instance has the headless
body been identified, and no one has
been missed In the communities where
1t has been found; nor has the missing
caput ever been discovered; but the VIC
TINS always appear to be tramps. Per-
haps this Is some one Of the new and
enthusiastic political economists carry
ing out his own peculiar theory Of solv-
ing the labor problem by getting rid Of
tramps, and he cuts off their heads in
order to leave his mark so that no con-
scienceless editor can surreptitiously
lay claim to the credit OF his work.

The boys ut Pittsburg have had their
dance and now the fiddler must be paid.
The sufferers by the mob devastations
have set to work in a very systematic
way, according to our dispatches, to get
the necessary data for suits against Allie
gheny county for remuneration for the
property destroyed by the rioters. Com
inittees on the part Of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Pennsylvania railroad and
the Maritime Exchange have had con-
sultation and come to an agreement,
the substance of which is that the
claims OF private persons shall first be
prosecuted, and after adjustment those
OF the railroad will be pressed. There
will be some lively litigation up there,
and the lawyers are doubtless hunting
up old clients and manifesting deli
cate solicitute in their affairs that does
great honor to human nature.

On the goth Of this month there is to
be convention of the scientific men Of
the United States at Nashville, which is
to be followed by a convention of the
different fire departments Of the various
cities, on the 4th Of September. We
are glad to learn that Col. Girard will
attend both OF these meetings, where he
will submit his several processes OF
discovering and extinguishing fires.
These inventions Of Col. Girard are of a
character that must command attention
and approval, and we hope that
he will be able to demonstrate to those
whose approval will establish their
merit, the usefulness of his in
ventions. In st. Louis an allow
ance OF ten per cent has already
been made by the insurance companies
in favor of houses in which his appa-
ratus has been erected, and we are sat
isfied the same will be done wherever
its merits are properly understood. 1t
is useless to say q word in behalf Of
these inventions, which are OF the sim
plest and most practical nature, and
whose claims can be easily tested. But
of Col. Girard we can speak word.
He is an old citizen of New Orleans, a
modest and scholarly gentleman, and
one OF the most original Of American
scientists.
