A gentleman alights from carriage,
and on taking out his purse finds that he
has nothing smaller than hundred-franc
note.
"Don't mind about that, sir" says his
jarvey courteously; "I'll get the change
from the blind man" and stepping over
to the curbstone where the unfortunate
medicant is sitting, with a placard on his

The case of Sergeant Mason is to be
brought before the United States Su-
premc Court on a writ of ha5eas corpus.
The Judge Advocate General has re-
viewed the proceedings Of the court
martial and reports to the Secretary of
War that irregularities and illegalitics
have occurred which should render the
finding mil and invalid. It is more than
probable that Mason will regain his lib

The CHIEF concurs with the Baton
Rouge Capitolian- Adyocate in its opinion
that Col. McCranie, President of the
Louisiana Press Association, would do
we'll to defer the annual meeting of that
body to still later date than the one
now fixed-say until the 18th or Goth
of July. The General Assembly will be
in session i'll May and a number Of the
members of the Press Association would
be unable to attend the reunion on that
account. Furthermore, the facilities for
reaching Alexandria will probably be
greater in July than in May, thus
insuring larger gathering ofnewspaper
folks at the later date. We hope Col.
McCranie will consider this suggestion
favorably.

EXPLANATORY

In the hurry of getting the inside
page Of last Saturdays paper to press,
blnnder was committed by the printer
which we can not allow to pass unex-
planned. To meet the exigencies Of the
" makeup" and fill gaps in two or three
columns, several paragraphs were de-
tached from the letter of our New Or
leans correspondent and inserted in the
form of editorial matter. In this way it
was made to appear that the editor of
the CHIEF was commcnding the pro-
posed appointment of Mr.. w. D.
Baker-"a gentleman favorably known
i'll this city'-to position in Surveyor
Pinchback's office, when the fact is we
don't know Mr.. Barber aud had never
before heard of him. While we have no
reason to doubt he is as worthy as our
correspondent represents him, we can
not be expected to youch for his stand
ing, and particularly " in this city" where
he is probably entirely unknown.
Another of these vagrant paragraphs
places us i'll the attitude of siding with
the Dnmont faction in the Republican
fight in New Orleans and giving a side
wipe at our esteemed friend Col. James
Lewis, whom we regard as one of the
very best colored men in the State. We
should rejoice to see the party affairs
under the control of such leaders as Col.
Lewis, believing, as we do, that there
wonid then be a marked Improvement in
the condition, methods and aims of the
organization. We have no desire to in
tcrfere i'll the faction fights of the city
Republicans, and have no special svm-
pathy with one side as against the
other, but we entertain a high regard
for jim Lewis and don't want it to ar
pear that we are casting slurs at him.
Two or three other items were user
ted as editorial matter that should have
been credited to correspondents, but
beyond the objection of plagiarism they
We're comparatively inofensi>e ard
harmless, though a trifle obscure. For
instance, some Of our readers were prob
ably astonished when confronted with
the assertion that "twenty years ago
this city mad about 10000 Inhabitants"
etc, thinking we had reference to Don
jacksonville, when in fact Washington
was the place referred to.
We allow orr correspondents the
widest range i'll expressing their views
and have as much respect for their opin-
ions as We desire others to have for our
own, yet We very frequently dissent
from their sentiments and, as in the in
stances just noted, would seriously Oh
ject to having them pass for the edito-
rial utterances Of the CHIEF.

The burning of the steamer Golden
City at Memphis ON the 30th of March,
just before daylight, was one Of the most
terrible and fatal accidents that has oc-
Cured or the river for a long time. Our
New ORIGINS correspondent relates in
another column TIC principal circum-
stances attending the calamity. The
Golden City was {. large sternwheeler,
plying in the trade between Cincinnati
and New Orleans, and was OH her way
up the river when burned. Stoves cir
Gus was aboard the Inflated steamer,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Stowe and several
other members of the company were
lost, together with the entire circus out
tit, including few cages of wild ami
mails. When the alarm Of fire was given,
Pilot Purcell headed the boat for shore
aud remained at the wheel until she
struck, though the flames had already
attacked the rear of the pilot house and
he was compelled to jump out in front
and climb over the hurricane guard to
save himself. The heroism of Robert
Kelly, the second engineer, i'll meeting
death at his post that the lives of others
might be saved was not surpassed by
that of the famous jim Bludsoe of the
Prairie Belle" who declared that he
would
Hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore,
and kept his word though it cost him
his life. Verify truth keeps pace with
fiction and the poets fancy has not
depicted deed more heroic than that of
Robt. Kelly.
