aces, or anything else to cause you to have fear based on something more tangible than your imagination? 1t would appear that you would ascrbe an increase or feeling to the publication of my letter to the board of arbitration and conciliation. Again say tt at you are drawing on your imagination. The letter which 1 chose to send to the board of arbitration and con- ciliaton was a proper letter sent for the purpose of informing this board that one side of the disputants were acting, as 1 con- sidered, in bad faith, and instead of assist ing and aiding to bring the condition of affairs to peaceable termination were ciandestinely doing what they could to bring matters to anything but peacesbIe culminatiUn.+
 The distinction that you draw as to the present action of tue board of arbitration and conciiiatiou, namely, that it is not au to answer.
 Upon what you base your belief that there is an unlawful conspiracy between the members of certain organizations, l have not the faintest idea, or do l know whether these organizations org aniZed for benevolent purposes have violated their charters. If they have the courts are the p aee in which that is to be declared.
 The city of New Orleans is free and opsn to all who desire to come for lawful pur- poses, and do not think that 1, called up- on as mayor of this city, should call out the police force for immigrants coming to this city, on the demand of two or three citizens that they fear the arrival of these immigrants might cause trouble. That, think, would be assuming power which the laws do not justify me in assuming.
 1 fully understand the pprport and the object of your communication, and now beg to inform you that your demand on me to call forth the police force, based on the statements made by your letter, is peremp- torily refused, and you are perfectly free, as you have intimated in your letter, to ap- ply to the United States courts for whatever protection they may deem fit to give you. Very respectfully yours,
 JOHN FITZPATRICK, Mayor.

Springs-Reports Being Suppressed.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla., March 9.-A letter received by R. w. Adams of this city from a relative at Hot Springs, Ark, states that the smallpox epidemic in that place is much worse than the newspaper reports would indicate. The letter says that not 8 newspaper in Hot Springs dares to publish the truth about the situation, as the pub- fishers have been told that if they printed the truth the papers would be burned and the offices wrecked. Correspondents for outside papers have been similarly intim- dated.
 The letter describes the situation at the famous resort as narrowing in the extreme. Many are dying daily and new cases are being constantly reported. The hospitals are crowded, and doctors and nurses are unable to give proper attention to the pa- fianla-

THE NEGROES WILL SAIL.

PHILADELPAIA, March 9.-D. J. Flum- mer, president of the International Migra- ton society, said that the reason the negro emigrants have not been moved from Sa- vannah, Ga., is due to the fact tnat arr rangements satisfactory to the society and the emigrants themselves could not be effected within the expected time. The steamer Horsa, commanded by Captain Wiborg, be said, has been chartered and is now being loaded for Africa, and will leave Philadelphia for Savannah on or be- fore the 14th instant, thence leaving that port for Liberia by the 16th.

 ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 9.-A City of Mexico special says that the court. martial sitting at ToriD, Sonora, has finally passed sentence of death upon Lieut.. Col. Joquain Vasquez, late of the Fourteenh infantry. The officer was condemned for his unsol- dierly conduct in the face of the enemy in March of last year.
 small column of troops, consisting of 100 men of the Fourteenth and Twenty fourth regiments of the line and a detach- ment of the National Guards, under the command of Colonel Vasquez, moved into the Sierra Del Macatette, senora, with the intention of ipfiicting severe lesson on the rebellious Yaqui Indians.

The Eatonton Messenger is jumping
on the Middle Georgia and Atlantic rail-
road According to the Messenger
Eatonton merchants are getting the worst
of it in freight rates The other day an
Eatonton merchant received a bill of
goods from New York. The freight
charges from New York to Maehen were
between IS and 50; from Machen to Eaton
ton the freight charges between 81 and s..
1t cost the merchant nearly as much from
Machen TO Eatonton, over the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic road, a distance of
eighteen miles, as did it from New York
to Machen, over other routes a distance
of some one thousand miles.
This is a fair sample, the Messenger
says, of the eXtortion that the Middle
Georgia and Atlantic road practices upon
the people of Eatonton and Putnam. Bus
mess men and others in Eatonton and
Putnam have appealed to the railroad COM
mission for protection. They got a re-
duction in the passenger rates, but imme-
diately the Middle Georgia road raised its
freight rates wherever IL could.
