The COlIect0rshlp Question Worse MIXED
Than Ever. -

IMAM Ever s.#
The status of the Collectorship question at
the Custom-H House, since the publication of
the motion made for a rehearing In the An
derson case, seems to have changed some
what, especially on the east side of the build
ing, where, 1t was rumored yesterday, sew
eral Republican lawyers were congregated In
the Office Of J. Madison Wells, discussing the
points made in the motion that another elon-
gated dispatch might be sent to the Secretary
Of the Treasury.
As a rule the expression of those about the
building was that the points made In the mo-
ton were, as one said, "heavy documents to
overcome and fear was expressed that the
Returning Board difficulties were not yet
over.
1t has been the common rumor about the
building since the decision OF the Supreme
Court that Anderson, us reward for his
troubles, would be made Collector, but on
yesterday not one was found who would,
under existing circumstances, venture that
opinion, though some seemed to think that
his influence with that of Wells, would secure
the position for Ebert CAN'T, which prac-
tically would be the same thing, as then the
patronage would still remain In the hands OF
Messrs. Anderson and Wells.
1t Is understood, too, that should this be
the result they will remove every carpet
Dagger in the building and fill their places
with their Republican friends who first saw
daylight In this State.
Packards friends do not seem very hopeful,
while Gen. McMlllen expresses himself as
confident that he will be the fortunate one.
Badger Is once more mentioned as dark

will name Gen. Badger as his choice

The complimentary benefit to Miss Ellen
Wickers, tbepedestrienne, rendered by num-
Der of gentlemen Of the city, will, as pre-
viously announced, take place this evening at
st. Patrick's Hail. that fine hall having been
rendered to Miss Wickers free by John Hen
derson. Esq.
The programme, as announced In the cor
respondence published on Sunday last, will
be somewhat interesting, from the fact that
both Miss Wickers and Schmehl, although
each long distance walkers, will attempt TO
beat the best record time made in short dis
lance walks. Schmehl will make one mile,
endeavoring to beat his own best time, which
Is six minutes and forty seconds; when, after
short rest, he will walk five miles, beating
any time on record.
Miss Wickers and Schmehl will then come
upon the track each for ten mile walk, and
both having been in training. fast time Is ex-
pected from each.
The German military band have rendered
their services for the occasion, and after the
walking is concluded, which will be about 10
o'clock p. M, they will give concert, to be
followed by shop" which will conclude the

THAT DREDGEROAT.

The card Of Walter v. Crouch. Secretary OF
the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad
Company, relating TO 'that dredgeboat, and
published in one Of the evening papers yes
terday, did not fall under our eyes until it was
too late for US to make ample reply to 1t. We
can say, however that We stand corrected In
one respect. 1t WAS typographical error
that made us say that the city had money"
claims against the New Orleans and Carroll
ton Railroad Company; the word written was
"many." AS to the Jefferson and Lake
Pontchartrain Railroad Company" referred
to In the card We had no idea of the existence
of such n concern. But as we are told that
there was man by the name of Methusalah,
1t Is barely possible that such company did
exist In the remote past.

MEETING AT bayou DIES ALLEMANDs.
The Citizens want Read Built Between
that Place AMI n0utfe station.

that Place and R0utte station.
To-day the citizens Of Boutte Station and
Bayou DIES Allemands, In the parish of st
Charles, hold meeting at the latter place to
consider seriously the necessity of a road be-
tween the station and the village Of Bayou
des Allemands The only connection between
the two places about eight miles apart is
Morgan's Railroad Now. should good road
be built, 1t would greatly aid towards the i'm
proyement of social and business relations
between the residents of both villages.
Bayou des Allemands is a we'll known fish
ing and hunting resort, about thirty miles
from New Orleans, by way OF Morgan's Rail
road. It numbers nearly $50 inhabitants, all
Industrious and energetic people.
When any one from Bayou des Allemande
wishes to go to Boutte he has either to tramp
it On the railroad track or await the passage
of the cars.
The absence OF this road is also great In
convenience to those who have to attend the
sessions of the st. Charles Parish Court or OF
the District Court, for their ouly route Is via
Boutte Station, which Is distant some eight
miles from The Court House.
Boutte Station is u little village inhabited
by thrifty class OF people who make a good
yearly revenue from the export to this city
OF moss, eggs, chicken and other country
produce. There are many places OF business,
III q Hou!isnlng coHuitloh, SCHOOLS, enurcneS,
and railroad depot.
It Is to be hoped that the meeting of to-day
will conclude TO the satisfaction OF all con-
cerned, and that good road will soon be In
course of Construct n between Boutte Sta
ton and Bayou des Allemands.
The parish is too poor, probably, to take
the matter in hand but should the iuhab-
itants of both places combine with true Amer
lean pluck and energy, and raise subscr1p-
tions to have a road, we are sure they will
succeed, and that the investment will In q
short time be repaid to them tenfold.
