TO LOUIsIANIANs.

The publishers of the New ORLEANS
TIMES wish especially at this time that
every citizen Of this State should be sub
scriber or reader of the TIMES. Questions
of the greatest Importance to Louisiana
are pending waiting solution. A conven-
ton of her delegates is now in session
drafting an organic law for adoption to
replace the present constitution. ana
which it is hoped will radically reform
those fearful abuses. wasteful extravagan-
cies and gross injustices which have been
nurtured by it and have grown up under
it. The snbject of restrictive quarantine as
to its efficacy in preventing the introduc-
tioh OF the scourge of yellow fever and Its
acknowledged bhghted effects upon the
business and prosperity of the city of New
Orleans and the State, is now engrossing to
a large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labor, immigration, rail
road communications with our neighboring
State of Texas, removal of the State capi-
tai. ETC., demand constant consideration
and discussion.
The publishers of the TIMES, refer with
pride to the position taken by the TIMES
| on all OF these questions. Their inspiring
motive has been the good of the State and
her people. for upon her prosperity, devel-
opment and growth depend their compen-
sation and reward. From no other source
can they expect to subserye these ends.
The thorough Independence of the TIMES.
its strength, courage and consistency In
the discussion of all questions, its indefati
gable and persistent labors to restore the
wonted prosperity of the South, have made
it recognized throughout the country as
the leading Southern journal and made 1t
quoted everywhere as the representative
of the best Southern thought and opinion.

Among the things most required
in these days of tall buildings and
narrow places of entrance and exit,
are means of escape in case of fire
for those who occupy the upper
apartments. Apparatus for this pur-
pose should be compact, portable,
and yet strong and reliable. To en-
body these desirable qualities in a
single device has been the aim of
the inventor whose FIRE escape is
shown in the accompanying engrav-
ing.
The iron frame, A, which supports the Sc
veral parts of the machine is secured in a
washstand or some other suitable piece of
furniture, which is placed upon casters,
and made of sufficient weight and strength
to suit the purpose. A double drum, B, is
journaled to the frame, A, and two ropes,
rope ladders, or chains are attached there
to, one in each groove of the drum. To
these ropes or chains adjustable seats are
suspended by means of hooks.
When the drum. B, is reYolved it imparts
through the medium of the gear wheels an
increased motion to the shaft, G, which in
turn, by means of cranks, d. and E, of un-
equal radius, imparts rocking motion to
the shaft. f, that carries the pendulum or
weight, Fl, which may be screwed up or
down on the rod to regulate the rotary
motion of the drum, B. Screwing up the
weight toward the shaft, F, viii permit the
drum, B. to run with an increased velocity;
screwing the weight down produces the
opposite effect. By means OF this device

HOWE MACHINE E
Again Triumphant!

At the 45th Exhibition of the American
Institute Fair in this city, the Howe Ma
chime was recommended by the judges,
and approved by the unanimous vote of
the Board of Managers, for the GREAT
GoLD CENTENNIAL MEDAL" under the
following rules
s'This Medal tof gold) is TO be awarded
only for a machine, product, or process,
exhibited this Centennial year, at the 45th
Exhibition of the American Institute OF
the city of New York. 1t can be awarded
only for machine, product, or process, of
great value, decided Importance, and of
more than usual merit; and then only BY
a majority of the whole Board of Trustees,
upon the written report of three judges,
whose report shall certify to the above
requirements, and after said report shall
have been approved by q majority OF the
whole Board of Managers
1t will be thus seen that the "Howe''
still leads all competitors-and we chal-
lenge all Sewing Machine Companies in
the land to produce an award Of like ex-
cellence received in this CENTENNIAL
YEAR.

the end of one rope, and let ones Sc
down, that is, few seconds at most.
In addition to the above mention
ed advantages, the apparatus herein
described win be found of great
service to facilitate the ascension OF
outsiders into buildings in confa-
grafton, for the purpose of affordine
assistance, putting out fires, saving
valuables, etc. It will also be found
a safe and convenient auxiliary to
masons engaged in erecting isolated
chimneys, to ascend and descend.
From the above it will appear OBJ
vious that the apparatus just de-
scribed possesses particular merits,
which can hardly fail to command
the attention of hotel keepers, own
els or managers of large factories,
theatres, &C., and of all true PHI
lanGhropists generally.
Among its chief merits may be
mentioned :-compactness, simpli-
city. clieapness, comeliness, ALL
readiness, strength, reliability com
fort. and above all the PERFECT
SAFETY with which the most
nervons or unskilled persons may
avail themselves, of it in pressing
emergencies. With such an appara-
.tus ut hand, verybody will feel
personally secure against danger
from fire.

THE OLD FIGHT.

Beticsen tho War and Interior Depart
nlentS. 81.
Washington Special, Oct. 20
From all that can be ascertained this
evening, both from secretary Schurz and
from army officers, there is entire HARMONY
between the war and interior departments
relative to the Utes. Gen. Sherman and
Secretary Schurz are agreed that no sugges-
tions of peace will be considered unless thew
are based upon the surrender to the Federal
authorities of the Utes who committed the
depredations at the White River Agency
aud who assaulted Thornburgh's command.
The pending attempts for termination OF
hostillties made by the interior department
proceed upon 10 other assumption, and, if
the Utes do not surrender the savaees who
are Immediately responsible for
the murder, the army will be instructed to
| give the hostiles the severest possible puu-
| lshment. Meanwhile, the operations OF
Gen. Sherman are strategic. Gen. Merritt's
| forces are Instructed not to proceed further
| through canyons, which will soon be filled
with snow, and through an inaccessible
! country, but to remain in place convenient
for action against the Utes from the north,
should the operations from the south prove
unsuccessful. Pending this
THE TROOPS ARE TO BE MAssED
in Southern Utah at points which can be
much more easily reached by railroad than

cifc.
The purpose of the war department seems
to be. if the hostiles are not surrendered, to
endeavor to pursue the Utes ultimately. both
from the north and from the south, making
! the Southern agency the chief basis of oper-
atoms. There, of course, is always some
jealousy between the war and interior de-
partments on the Indian question.
Gen. Sherman thinks that, as the army
ultimately has to keep the Indians
