OUR NEW ORLEANS LETTER

New ORLEANS, March 10, 1888.
EDITOR CHIEF:
1t is understood that the new Fedora
officials willtake their respective place,
about the LIST Of April. Merchant an6
'Darrall have gone to their homes i'm the
Third District and are expected I'M town
again in the course of a few days. The
appointment of Col. James Lewis to tbe
position of Surveyor General gives almost
universal satisfaction, for he is we'll and
1avorably known to the people of New
orleans, and has had the chance of prov.
ing his capacity; so there is very little
opportunity for any more scandals about
the office appearing before the public,
Political soreheads are grumbling much
ABOUT the large amount of patronage
given the Third District, but we care
not for tie internal quarrels of the Re.
publicans, if the offices are filled with
competent persons. They will probably
nave no cause to complain.
The Inconvenience and. overcrowdino
OF the Charity Hospital still continue
ohtat last estimates of the work required
10 make larger accommodations to meet
the growing demand have been made
ana the citizens Of our own and resist
states are called upon to subscribe ST.
ooo to commence the needed imnrova.
ihents. lt is intended to raise the whole
building one story higher to afford space
Tor about fifteen extra wards, which will
oe a great benefit, and it is proposed to
put up an elevator so that the labor of
carrying patients mp and down stairs will
oe avoided. Subscription lists are to be
opened at several important points
throughout the city and State, in order
TO facilitate the collection of funds
Everyone who has visited New Orleans
probably knows that her CHARITY Hosn;-
Tai IS no local institution, but receives
the SICK and ailing Of every cline. The
recollection of this fact alone shoula Iva
stffifoteHt to prompt citizens of other
