A CUsTOM-HoUsE CAUCUS.

The American Alliance, or, to use o more
familiar term, the American party, have been
moving OF late, and they have been pushing
their work in every direction where they
thought the most good could be done. From
what we can gather, they have taken care
fsll survey of the Democratic field, and con-
cluded that there was not much to gain there,
and as matter of course the Republican
leaders were looked after. In the quiet of
yesterday, Sunday, and In response TO invi-
tations already given, quite q congregation Of
the leaders OF the Alliance singly and in
couples, strolled towards the Custom House,
and without being observed except bya DEM
0URAT reporter hastily entered and mounted
the golden stairs leading to the second story.
There they met several big guns Of the Re-
publican party, and long Capitalization was
had. From what could be gathered on the
outside, this visit was for the purpose of see
ing what combinations could be- made with
those now In Office regarding the approaching
election, and 70 secure administration aid for
that event. The committee of the American
party remained in the building some time,
and came out smilingly.

SIGNAL SERVICE.

The passage Of the sundry civil bill Of this
session Of Congress makes needed addition
| to the salary of observers of the signal
service Of about 500 per month. This makes
their average about 500 per month. The
contract Of the government with observers
and assistants Is kind of Especial enlist
ment," and the government pledges itself not
TO require of them any duties but those
which, by law, pertain to the service They
cannot be transferred to, or detailed to serve
with, the regular army as regular troops
and since 1870, when the weather observa-
tions commenced, no non-cOmmissioned Off
Ger or soldier Of the regular army has ever
been transferred to- or detailed to serve with.

The observers and assistants are divided
into serg eants, corporals and privates, be-
cause these are the only titles or indications
of rank recognized by existing laws for the
signal service was never organized with
view to fitting it for It's new duties. Formerly,
In time Of peace, 1t had nothing to do. There
are no companies or regiments, for It's mem
bers are scattered all over the country. In
strict law the signal 1vice Is now unchanged
from what it was Eft 100 years ago If any
existed them, but In point of fact It's utility is
increased 50 much that 1t Is entirely changed:
as Is obvious.s The reason of this clash be-
tween law and fact is, that the service was
never changed By laao, Congress contenting
itself with voting the necessary funds. This
IS the reason why the boards of trade and
chambers of commerce, cotton exchanges
ETC., have SO often asked that the signal ser
vice be "OrganiZed on o permanent basis in
order to increase its efficiency" The preimi-
nary educational examination prescribed by
Gen. M yer for all candidates for admittance
to this service, and the course of scientific in

On Wednesday next will come up an inter-
esting case before the Third District Court

tant and BTigadier General Of the Louisiana
State militia, and Adjutant General and Act
ing Paymaster of the State troops. The
petition sets forth further that Street exer-
clsed and performed the duties Of these Offices
Sa rotation, and that in performing these
duties he became entitled to the commuta-
tion for fuel, quarters services, mileage, ex-
penditures, services Of armorers and supplies
furnished by him for the benefit of the State
under orders from his superior officers. For
all Of this he claims the sum of SIG, 1853, and
for the years 1902 communication of fuel,
etc, S5473 He also claims for Communication,
etc, $727 so for the year 1875 He alleges that
It Is the duty of the Auditor to cancel bienni-
ally all the balances Of unexpended appro-
pTiations, and that there is now the sum of
$4,000 OF unexpended appropriation for the
year 1872. Further, that there are many thou
sands OF dollars OF uncalled for balances of
unexpended appropriations for the years
1901 -3-4-5, and that II these balances were
cancelled there would be now in the State
treasury large amount. Hetherefore prays

we have to chronicle the demise of that gal
liant soldier and unassuming gentleman, Hen
ry Miller, who 10 so well known to most Of our
citizens and appreciated by them for his
many high qualities Those with whom he
was thrown in contact always spoke of him
in the highest terms, and his word was his
bond. The cause Of his unexpected death
was, we learn, an old wound received during
the war whilst he was member of the WASH
ington Artillery. Genial and courteous in
bearing, and modest In his intercourse with
those who met him, Henry Miller won for
himself o name here that will not soon be
