DEATH OF CHARLES A. WHIT
NEY,
President OfMOrgan's Louisiana
Railway, Of the Texas Gem
trail, and Manager of
the Morgan rs.
tate.
Special to tie Courier. Journal.

New ORLEANS, October ga
shock was o~ccasioned in the social and
business community here to-day BY
the announcement that Charles A.
Whitney, President of Morgan's
Louisiana railway and Of the Texas
Central. aud representative and man
ager Of all the vast interests of the
late Charles MOrgan's heirs in Louis
lana and Texas, had died in
New York this morning at 2:l5
o'clock. Mr.. Whitney left this
city a few days ago on his
way to Europe via New York. He
had suffered from a slight attack of
paralysis two months ago, and his con-
templated tour Of the old world was
for the purpose Of re establishing his
health. He was to have sailed on the
steamer Britannia yesterday, but
shortly before the ship left the dock
another shock of paralysis occurred,
and it was seen that 1T would prove
fatal. Mr.. Whitney was removed to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and there
expired at the hour above stated.
There was no man more largely con
eerned in the interests of this city. At
the time of his death he was fifty.
seven yeas old, and his life had been
an active and in many respects an
eventful one. He went to California
in a commercial capacity during the
gold excitement Of 1850. Returning
to the East in 1857, he became the
private Secretary Of General Lewis
Cass, and upon the retirement of that
gentleman from the Cabinet was made
Secretary Of the Senate Comittee on
Military Affairs. Leaving politics TO
enter commercial pursuits which we're
more congenial and for which he
displayed a great aptitude, he went to
New York and became the agent
in that city of the Aspinwall line OF
California steamers. While ocsupy.
ing this position he married Miss
Morgan, daughter OF the millionaire.
He came to New Orleans some years
after, in 1867, to take charge Of Nor.
CANS interests here, and since that
time has virtually controlled the
steamboat and railroad interests of the
family centering here. and aggregatinp
many millions of dollars. He was
a man Of great executive ability, and
conducted the vast interests confded
to his care with signal success. His
wealth has been computed at several
millions, but no approximate figures
can be given. His surviving family
consists of a wife and three sons. he
was noted for his kindness to his
thousands Of employees, and the drap-
ing ofthe shipping Of the Morgan line
and railroad Offices and depots was a
spontaneous act Of affection on Their
part.

service reform and the use of money
in politics have come to be such vital
issues that they must be me-, and the
thing to do is to squarely throw down
the gauge Of battle. The Foster men
are a strong party here, and will likely
illustrate the old saying:
"'Tis one thing TO stumble. Rschylus.
Another thing 10 fall"
Mr.. Henry.O @. Rev, of Chicago, has
recently published in that city a most
able and apt article on the tariff, which
is doubly welcome in its original good
sound sense, and now that the force Of
thu Tariff Commission is tentihg about
over the land. arriving at nothing in
the end, Mr.. Rev we'll says that TO re.
strict the importation Of manufac-
lures, and not restrict the importation
Of labor for the benefit OF the la
borer, is the protection of classes and
not the protection of the masses.
Eighty thousand laborers Of New York
alone, in a recent address to the SEN
ate Committee on Education and
Labor, said their utmost efforts barely
suficed to keep the wolf from the
door. If the government tariff relieves
their employers from competition
why should it not do the same for
them?
Mr.. Rev is a millionaire, a large
Drained, large hearted man, with ad-
vanced ideas, and vigorous intellect.
He calls himself a laboring man, and
demands on behalf of the laboring
classes such duties upon the importa
ton of labor as will give them the
same advantage from the system of
protection that the employers OBJ
tanned. His conclusion hat If all
classes we're protected the gains and
losses would countefbalance each
other, and that to save the friction Of
the system, it would soon be aban-
douedin favor Of free trade. is entirely
correct.
The new gas stock company, the
ascendencyo Of which will reVolutionize
u world Of light, has Mr.. Rev aud
Mr.. Z. ). Bell OF this place among
its best supporters aud projectors.
This is another interest that will be a
relief to the poor and the masses. 1t is
made entirely from coke, the refuse Of
the old process, with a sli ut admix-
ture of petroleum and water, decom-
posed into its gasses-oxygen and by.
drogen-all being combined to prodce
a fixed Illuminating gas of the finest
quality, made in such rapid manner,
at such light expense as will revolu-
tiUuize the business entirely. The
company propose to furnish gas
for all purposes where heat or
light is required, at such
small cost as will supersede coal,
no dust, ashes or coal to handle.
Will not hat be an era. to the massesl
1t is about time that some fate gave
the poor man a relief from some Of the
hard conditions of everyday existence.
The most marvellous results are proph.
esied of the introduction of this gas,
and the enterprise of its company.

Richard Goldsworthy, the scaffold
on which they were standing gave
way, letting them suddenly to the
ground. The distance they were
prccipitated was only seven feet, yet
Mr.. Enzenroth's right leg was badly
broken about half way between the
knee and ankle, while Mr.. Charles
received no injuries whatever. Hap
