Probably Mr.. Robson does not know,
what everybody else knows, that the chief

STORM NOTES.

Oh, waterfall there was last night.
Street signs enjoyed themselves huge Iy
yesterday.
The bulkhead at tho head of Enghien street
is broken and In very dangerous condition.
1t took moro than four ounces of shot to
keep down the average skirt during the gale
yesterday.
The Natchez had succeeded in backing out.
but was driven by the wind n considerable
distance below the city.
From Canal street ogler's standpoint, yes-
terd9y was good day for ducks, and the
streeTcrossings good place to find them.
Last night the bulkhead was reported to
be almost completely washed away from Ely
sian Fields to Barracks street, and that the
bank was caving In.
AS many as thirteen steamboats,, that pro-
posed to leave at s o'clock last evening, were
detained up to II late hour, by the heavy gale
and by the turbulent state of the river.
Jenkins said ono Canal street, last night,
that the regular session of The Legislature
reminded him forcibly of the two clements
which predominated yesterday.
On Canal and Claiborne streets, during tho
gale of yesterday many small branches were
blown from the trees and during the highest
wind the trunks swayed to and fro. threaten
ing to overturn.

AT THE ARSENAL or THE d. W. A.

In company with Col. J. B. Walton and Col.
W. Miller Owen, we had the pleasure yester-
day afternoon Of paying a pleasant visit to
the arsenal OF the Washington Artillery on
Common street. just IN the rear of Baronne.
For neatness and compactness the surround
ings are most complete. In the rear Is the
harness room, where boots and saddles" are
ready for immediate service, as Is Slso the
prepared ammunition for the battery. Pass
ing through paved courtyard Col. Owens
private office Is reached. a Iady's boudoir it
might almost be called, where ON the walls are
placed many photographs and other memen-
toes of the late strife q
In the arsenal proper are the PARROT guns
and howitzers of the command, each gun in
perfect order and ready for immediate service
Around the long hall arc displayed many
most conspicuous the flags they SO CALAMITY
fought under. On the left. suspended over
the rack Of rifles, used when the artillery
parade as infantry, is, first, the old battle
SCARED banner. presented to the battalion
when IL Lett the city by Mrs. r. G. Twitchell.
Next to 1t hangs the Confederate battle flag
with It's cross and stars, which was given to
the command at Centreville, just after the
Manassas fight and beside it, worn with tho
breeSes OF many month, their old garrison
flag.
Nearer the door. beside hostile banners
floats Il captured United States flag, captured
and brought in by members of the battalion
at Second Manassas.
The arsenal is, ,Ulder the veteran Kelley,
kept In scrupulonSly clean condition. and
should be the pride OF the command.

FIRST PRINCIPLES. O

Being in the vicinity of Claiborne street, we
thought that stroll on The finest avenue of
New Orleans which, IL we are not mistaken,
will In the course OF time become one of the
great centres of the city-might reveal some
thing of interest. We found that the green
between Gravier and Common streets
was being filled in and nicely graded
by Administrator Mccartney. Whilst look
ing on at the work that was progressing
we met a gentleman whom we found, after
some conversation, to be tho owner of some
property In the neighborhood. Somehow or
other the conversation turned upon the loca-
ton of the Union Depot on the green between
Common and Canal streets, and the removal
Of the Claiborne market
Our new acquaintance urged against the re-
moyal of the market that the residents of that
portion of the Third Ward had had long
and tedious battle to secure a market for the
uses of that section Of the city, and that to
change its location would be creating a revo-
luton among the shop keepers who had es-
tablished themselves Immediately around it.
As to the railroad depot he thought that it
would not improve the neighborhood, but, on
the contrary, the steam trains coming
through Claiborne street would only be an
annoyance, without affording any additional
accommodation. Our friend was so opposed
TO any innovation that he went as far as to
say that he wished to see the mechanical
spindles and looms obliterated, and the old
system OF spinning and weaving by hand re-
Sllmed

PERTINENT INQUIRIES.

Will the New Orleans Cotton Exchange fail
to exhibit in the Paris Exposition of 1878 sam
pies of Louisiana's great staple2
If so, what State of the Union will send
samples Of our cotton to the great Interna-
suonal Exposition?
Brazil, India, Egypt and other cotton pro-
ducing countries will be represented, and the
question now is whether the United States
will follow? O
What State Of the Union will exhibit If
Louisiana fails to do so?
The New Orleans Cotton Exchange seems
rather slow towards acting in the premises,
and it is rumored that the question of dollars
and cents is really what prevents them from
taking immediate steps to have Louisiana
fairly represented in the great Paris EXPOSE
ton, The idea Of balancing between our ma
tional fame and the tritling expense neces-
sary to exhibit the staple OF which New Or
leans is the principal mart, is simply prepos-

any blemish on the honor and enterprise of
our fair State. o

nous election rs an honorary member of your
company, Is received.
Allow mo. through you, to thank the officers
and members OF your honored company for
the high compliment so unexpectedly be-
slowed and to assure you all 1t is deeply
appreciated.
1t is especially gratifying to me to be- the
recipient Of this compliment at your hands
from the fact that 1t evnces strong evidence
that your organization now desires that the
"Blue and Gray" shall join hands in all that
relates to social and friendly good fellowship.
No shadow Of all the past allowed
To checker tho present hour or cloud

am an exFederal officer and also Repub-
lican. My unanimous election as honorary
member ole the Fifth Company Orleans Ar
tllery refutes the accusation often made, that
State Of Louisiana 1t has never been my lot
to experience j.. ,bhis new evidence of the fact
is doubly gratifying. 1t hatters not only my
national but my personal pride, and thrills
mo with generous gratitude for that benign
policy of the honored executive of our nation,
which now invites, nay demands, that oil shal |
henccforth pull together for the common
glory OF our now perfected Union.
1t Is with feelings of pleasure and pride that
l beg to assure you that you will always find
me ''rendy and willing" to cooperate with tho
Fifth Company In all that tends to enhance

HAYES HAS HIS LooKERs-oN HERE.
A Watch Kept Over the r e0ple of LOUIS
lana and Their Courts.

1t has been the current report here for some
weeks past that there were a number of per-
sons in our city, either from Washington or
closely connected with the Hayes admins
tration, whose presence here was for the pur-
pose of learning as nearly as possible the tenn
per of our people towards the Returning
Board and the probabilities of a pardon for
Anderson. Their advent here has been kept
remarkably quiet, and even the newspaper
men did not get hold of it. In order that their
presence should not be known they did not
put up at any of the hotels, but took quarters
in the retired parts of the city.
One gentleman, a Col. O. G. Scovell, a near
relative Of Mrs. President Hayes, arrived
here some three weeks ago and engaged board
some distance back on Canal street. He is
said to be an intimate friend Of the President q!
and on very confidential terms with him.
During his visit he made frequent visits to
the Custom. House. the State House and the
Superior Criminal Court on tours of observa-
ton the results Of which he kept the Admins
tration well posted by mail. Col scoyell is q

THE COLLECrORsHIp.
What sherman Wants, ana What Pack
ard Won't Agree To.

The latest Washington advices are that
Packard can have the Collectorship IL he will
promise to keep Anderson as special deputy
in the event that Anderson gets out of his
presenoirouble, but Packard will promise to
do no such thing.
This information comes from t4thoroughIy
reliable source, and one which has ii that Sec
rotary Sherman insists that this promise
shall be eSacted from the coming Collector
whoever he may be, and that this very fact is
the only reason why Packard's name is not
sent in to the Senate. o
4. 1t seems that his influence in Washington
can prevent the confirmation of any nomina-
ton for the Collectorship that he may see fit
to object to, and that such Influence" will be
President conseY uently no appointment will
be made, ut least for thcJrcsent.
From another and an equally reliable source
it is learned that Secretary Sherman has
stated or written that If Cbamplin, the former
special deputy, will resign, (which he has
neySr dcnel, he sherman will see that he
getS pay for the time he has been out q thamp-
lin it will aforementioned, was superseded
under Kings administration by Anderson,
and without cause which was a direct viola
