It appears that the rumored intention of the majority in the lower house to introduce a resolution indorsing the Southern policy was the cause of no small perturbation among the Radicals in Congress. A number of them, even now, are avowedly opposed to that policy others lire silently chagrined by its adoption, but are wise enough to hide the fox under the cloak of party fealty.

Neither of these classes would care to commit itself thus early in the session by a direct vote either for or against the Administration. The Republican party was never morq in need of administrative influence and succor than it is at this juncture, and even Conkling and Blaine would prefer to win the President gradually lover to the former policy and methods of the party? to offering him open battle at such desperate odds. It is clear to them that the Southern policy is approved by the nation, and a Republican vote of censure would not tend to strengthen their failing party. Those ingenuous members who are willing toj be considered on either side the question as occasion serves are, of cortrse, most of all unwilling to be subjected to the test of a definite resolution. Morever, to allj Republicans it must be extremely distasteful to put upon record an express indorsement of a policy which everybody knowj is essentially Democratic.

While, howevef, it was easy td see that the proposal of such a resolution would seriously embarrass the Republican1 Representatives, jthe Democrats found sufficient reasons to withhold it. They felt that the Administration, in adopting a Democratic policy, had indorsed the Democracy. It was not necessary for them to repeat their approval of a course which they have been persistently urging since the close of the war of secession. To pass the resolution in question would to some extent have the appearance) of arraying them under the banner of the Administration, and they prefer an attitude of vigilant watchfulness. When the policy of the President towards the South is distinctly attacked in Congress they, will come to itsj defense not because it is the policy of the Administration, but because it is and has always been the policy of the Democracy.

That is a subtle distinction, but it is a good one. Furthermore, it is not necessary for the Democrats to force, by any act of their own, the impending trial of strength between the conflicting elements of the Republican patty in Congress. The Louisiana question involves the issue between them, and the Senatorial contest will bring it to a settlement. It is said that the President does not intend to interfere in the contest between Judge Spoffbrd and Mr. Kellogg nevertheless, the seating of the latter would be a direct reflection upon his recognition of the Nicholls Government.

This proposition is so evident that the counsel of Kellogg before the Senate committee took the ground that the action of the President was not final 'and conclusive in the recognition of a Stato government, but was subject to congressional review and The view of the situation which justified the'recojmition of the Nicholls Government carries with it an assertion of the invalidity of the opposing government, or attempted government and all its acts, legislative or otherwise, including the-election of a Federal Senator. If, then, Mr. Stanley Matthews, 'or any other Administration Senator, should vote to seat Mr. Kellogg, he would thereby place himself not only in opposition to the Democracy and the President, but also to his own repeatedly expressed opinions. This same Senatorial contest places Republicans of every shade between the horns of a serious dilemma.

To seat Messrs. Spofford, Eustis and Butler may be to surrender the control of the Senate to the Democrats; to reject them will be to increase the unpopularity of their party in the country. and chickens come home to roost. Louisiana, for so many years the football of fanati cism and partisanism, is now a stumbling block to the feet of her oppressors. She unites about her the sympathies of the whole conservative force of the Union, and she divides and embarrasses the counsels of her enemies.

The Ziate Gen. Forrest Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, whose death is announced in the dispatches of the 29tb, was born July 13th. 1821, in Chapel Hill, old Bedford county, and at the time of his death, October 29. was in his fifty-seventh year.

He was one of the first born twin sons of William Forrest and Mariana Beck, his grandson of Nathan Forrest, and greatgrandson of Shadrach Forrest, an Englishman, or of English extraction, who enii crated from WMt ViMrinia. in 1780 to Orange county, N. where he remained, with his jdeeendanta, until 18C6, when they all emigrated to Tennessee, first to Sumner and then to Bedford. Gen. Forrest's grandmother was of Irish origin and her maiden name was Bang a.

His mother was of Sootch Irish descent and her family, em-grating from South Carolina, were among the pioneers of Bedford. In 1834 his father became impoverished and removed with his then large family to Tippah county, Mississippi, anjd settled on wild lands recently acquired by treaty from the Chickasaw Indians. He died about two years afterwards, leaving a widow, seven sons and three daughters. Jeffrey Forrest was born four months after the death of his father. Bedford was nearly sixteen years old when the care and support of this large family de volved npon him.

He was equal to the task, fox his constitution was robust, his will resolute, his sense clear and good, his industry unflinching and his management careful and thrifty. Before the trial had lasted four years this boy fanner had made his mother and the survivors of her family comparatively prosperous. During this period, however, he lost two of his brothers and his three sisters. Ons of the deceased was his twia brother. Bedford was deprived of the benefits of education, except what he acquired in the course of the winter months of about three years, his father's circumstances making his labor at other seasons necessary on the farm.

He had that in' his native vigor and1 sagacity which no schooling can impart and which no education can improve like the discipline of care, toil, experience, danger and responsibility. At sixteen he begun to carry a man's burden, and that au unusually heavy one. The long hard task developed a gigantio prowess of will and energy. He was like his ancestors, fond of hunting, horses, racing arid other athletic sports which added to the strength and skill which did bicn good service in after time. During the Texan war of independeco in February, 1841.

Bedford Forrest joined a company of volunteers, which, however, was dissolved before leaving this city still he, with a other members, proceeded to Houston, where they arrived destitute of means to proceed to the seat of war. His companions returned by procuring aid from friends, but Bedford would not receive snob, aid, preferring to remsiu until he could earn enough to carry him home. This ho did by making fence rails. In 1S13 Forrest became a partner with his uncle Jonathan in Hernando, Mississippi. March 10, 1S45, occurred the tight in Hernando, between Bedford on one side and four men, William, James and Jefferson Matlock, planters, and Baan, an overseer.

The four in concert made a sudden attack on Forrest in the public square Thirteen shots were fired and bowie-knives were freely used. The three Matlocks were all wounded and Bean driven from jthe field. Forest wan slightly wounded, but a shot intended for him by Bean was received by his uncle Jonathan, who had taken no part in the affray. Ia this momentary battle Forest showed th distinctive audacity, coolness and determination which were brought to bear so brilliantly twenty years later on his shining military career." A few months later occurred another incident illustrating his dauntless prowess and Biding one day along the highway from Hernando to Holly Springs, in company with Mr. James K.

Morse, a well-known lawyer, they were suddenly met inj the road by a planter of the neighborhood in which they were, James Dyson by nana, notorious for his lawless, blood-thirsty courses, and who cherished, it happened, a deadly grudge against the lawyer. Dyson carried a double-barreled gun, and without uttering -word or making one gesture of warning, shot Morse, who fell without a groan from his saddle to the ground, with a rifle ba ther his heart. Instantly turning the other barrel loaded, it Beems, with buckshot upon: Forrest, the murderous Dyson threatened to shoot him also, though with no other cause of animosity than that he bad witnessed the affair. Bat Forest was not to be thus "taken lightly by the beard," sudden and unexpected as had been the deed for he had drawn and held his revolver, cocked, with a steady aim at the ruffian who menaced him, and whom he coolly warned th at he had better make sure work, for it was now a game at which two could play." Dyson lowered his weapon and forbore his1 purpose. Forrest sternly prosecuted the murderer to conviction, although he finally escaped punishment.

In September, 1S45, Forrest was mar- ried to Mary Anne Montgomery, lineal descendant of the Irish general who fell at Quebec in 1775. Prospering in busi ness he left Hernando in 1353, settled at Memphip, where he beoame a dealer in real estate and slaves. At the commencement of the war he was largely engaged in cotton planting in Coahoma county. his crop in that year being over 1C00 bales. We have grouped the above facts relating to the heroic Forrest from an introductory sketch in the interesting volume which gives the history of his campaigns.

His better known military career forms too large a part of the annals of a great war to be even outlined here. Federal Offices. Yesterday, Gen. Anderson. Special Deputy Collector of the Port, was in anticipation of further advices from Washington urging him to gird his loins andj make a visit to the national capital.

He did not appear disposed to go, but should "duty call him, was ready for the emergency. His son, in charge of his plantation in St. Landry, had fallen from his horse a few days ago aud injured himself, and he was eager for further information concerning the son's condition. The summons to Washington is supposed to be in relation to the matter of King's nomination, but he gives it out that it solely refers to a claim which his wife is alleged to possess against the United States Government for property taken away by toe Federals during the war, amounting to about $10,000. The initiated think, and with plausibility, that it refers to the Colleo-torship.

Packard's chanoea are sup posed to be formidable, and Anderson'B influence is neoeesary to the ultimate determination. It may be that Anderson himself may be pressed for the Collector-ship, but he does not desire to play first fiddle unless it is absolutely neoeesary to the Returning Board practise. It is thought, however, that if King1 could not be confirmed by the Senate Anderson's nomination would ba as both influences are identical. There is no doubt that Anderson is seriously in favor of King's confirmation, and Wells is not, as alleged, opposing it. The other Republicans from this State in Washington are either in favor of Packard or somebody else, and King finds no place in their good offices.

It is known that there is a fierce fight progressing for the office of United States District Attorneyship, and John Bay is supposed to hold the strongest hand. The influence of the whisky ring will probably determine this issue. Ben Flanders, it is understood, will go out during the resular session, and John Cockrem has a host of combatants for the internal revenue The appointment of CoL Bur well to the Regis- trv of thm I And Office relieved Mr. Breaux, who now falls back upon his seat in the Senate for political position. Fumigation Extraordinary.

A FIRE AT QUARANTINE STATION. Saturday evening last the steamship I Sandrigham, bound from Havana to ixew urieana witn a cirga ox sugar, was stopped as usual at quarantine station on the river. She was an English-made vessel, and was on her first trip. Immediately after the ship had thrown her anchor she was boarded by the quarantine officers, and the process of fumigation was commenced. The pots were placed below and in the cabin, and the fire beiBg made the officers withdrew, closing the hatches and the cabin.

This is according to the statement of the captain of the ship. Having completed these preliminary arrangements, the officers left and returned about an hour afterwards, when it was discovered that the ship was on fire. The ignition eame from the fire and some inflammable materials placed close to it. The pump was at once put to work, and after some time the fire was extinguished. The vessel and its cargo were considerably.

damage, but not to such an extent as to disable her, as she afterwards came no the river and is cow lying at Gretna. It was fortunate for her that she had an iron deck or she might have bsen totally consumed. As it was, a number of boxes were burned, and a largo amount of sugar injured or destroyed by the throw of water. It has not been accurately ascertained bow muoh damage was done, as the cargo has not yet been wholly taken out. The principal consignees in this oity were Messrs.

Agar Leloug, on Customhouse street. When all is ascertained it is probable that the vessel and cargo will go into general average" to satisfy the parties interested. In the meantime, it would seem to be entirely proper for the Board of Health to inquire into the conduced the quarantine officers in the premises, and to fix the culpability. Transplanted Cane Dr. T.

G. Richardson, of the University of Louisiana, yesterday allotted to different planters the specimens of sugar cane lately received by him from the Sandwioh Islands. The gentlemen who have undertaken to cultivate the cane in our State, as an experiment, are Messrs. Rogers, Diamond, Johnson and Cunningham, of Plaquemines parish; Minor, of Terrebonne David Urquhart, of Pointe Coupee Austin Rountree, of Orleans, and Gibson, of Terrebonne. A portion of the cane, notwithstanding the fact that they had not been out more than thirty days since, and were carefully packed, have died, but those remaining sound will, no doubt, with careful cultivation, grow in our lands, and may eventually prove anoquisition to our planters.

The specimens are from all appearances llJa-ioft I as ti the same species as our cane known as the Taiti. though the joints are muoh shorter. They are called Lahaina, having been first grown on a plantation of that name on the island of Monai, but are supposed to have been brought there from Taiti. The yield on 150 acres last year was a little less than six tons to the acre, and should they be successfully cultivated in Louisiana, cannot but prove advantageous and lucrative to oar planters. A fact, however, should ba noted, that in the climate where theee specimens are grown cane is not cut before it blooms, which allows them sixteen months' cultivation, whereas in our State cane cannot be left standing during the winter on account of the cold.

This difference in the growth may make a material difference in the yield, and cultivated in our State and cut in October or in November they may not yield as they do on the island of Monai, and the aver age in the former may fall short in Louisiana. 2Zous verrons, LOCAL TOPICS. The University and Agricultural Collocro is not yet in full operation, owinjr to the obstacles which have presented themselves. Dr. Joseph, Jones has declined the chair of agricultural chemistry to which he was elected, and the position will probably be offered to Prof.

McCullough, of Washington and Lee University, at Lexington. Va. There are about thirty students ready to matriculate at the university as boou as the preparations for their reception have been completed. The propensity "of drunken men to lie down to elet-p on railroad tracks is somewhat peculiar. Perhaps there is something fascinating in the idea of the peril of the position, but to people in their ordinary senses the possibility of beiufc glided over by a car or train of cars, will not appear in a pleasing light.

The heavy rainfall which occurred yesterday morning had a very disagreeable ellect down town. Many of the streets were overflown, some for and it was impossible for the people to move out of their dwellings. This was notably the case on Dau-phine and Orleans streets. Before the imposition of the drainage tax and its conse these streets were free, or comparatively so, from inundation, but since the latter blessing has been imposed upon the people they are visited by every storm. The rainfall of yesterday morning waa quite exceptional and curious.

Early risers found themselves shut up in their nouses, and those who were somewhat late were confronted by dry streets, which, however, bore the appearance of a recent flood. It is remarkable with what rapidity the water retreated, and how dry and clean the streets were left. Whatever the cano and cottou may say about it, we must admit that it is an excellent Administrator of Improvements and a most acceptable scavenger. To-day the committee appointed by the Mayor to solicit aid for the Fernaadiua buflerers will meet at the directors' room of the Cotton Exchange. The names of the gentlemen composing the committee have been published, and it is not necessary now to reiterate further than to say that anyone is eligible to receive contributions.

The committee, will close its labors on Saturday. The fancy shops of the city will now be found decorated with various ornaments for the tombs to-morrow. Very pretty and ingenious designs are presented, and a fair promise is made that the embellishments this season will exceed all predecessors. Fanciful-immortelles are displayed on ail bands and all that art or intuitive love can devise i exhibited. Personal.

tal, Ian oil ul and appropi iate ideas lor adveru. log onr establishment, our aim being to iuilmda- anse ourselves, ana ue nxijue uc inoroagmy distinct from an other establishment ia tbe city, mote especially fiom those in oar especial lite of business. When we first stArted, In October, 1S73, NO 07HKA TEA BTURE WAS IN KXI3TEVCB IN THE conaeauentlr oar was.ot itself nmciently noeel 1 bat as one tubus! meet after another came tntotlie lleid. eaoa aosely ccpying onr style, and in soaie cases out advertisements, we found it necessary to Invent eome new attraction, so a. to preserve our idea, tity.

Ve thought we had acconiclisbed this as we and an admiring public first watched tbe steam escaping from our now famous Sign of the Steaming Teapt." but- to-day there are la this city two other of the steaming teapot, BTirl wa can ba JnitM, mm 1t l.nA mak. Afterarards we delighted our customers with our revolving fan, and was nraistd ana complimented for our enterprise and ingenuity: to-day there are two other tans to nsabysur competitors. Next we attracted tbe oorkms by a miniature steam engine in onr show case. We are about to be copied in this also. We have Just completed a novel sign ot a life sieo Japanese figure holding a steaming enp, whioh we presume will be oopl din a few days.

Of course It ia very provoking to hare one's mru 11 wnv a tt ovt wr and originality destroyed, yet we cannot but cept it as a great coup.imenttooarsilf ta be imitated, and we have some lovaoletion when we iellect what a set of dull, hum-arum tea svores onr city would present without our lav spiriting example. We have mentioned these facts in no unfriendly spirit, bat for tte porpose, if possible, of cor. reding an evil and spare our contsmpararief the igiaominy of having to copy a new idea that we may develop in tbe tu-ure. and may iKwtalblv sure them the exnense of eracriur oDietbing tnat would have to be abaadoned because of ita tmprscticabiliry. We have several ideas, perfectly origloai, eqaalVya appropriate and quite as practicable as anything we have -hitherto produced, which we will gladly- and freely give to our competitor if tay will promise that they ill not imitate na In anything that we may hereafter ptoduoa.

Should they, however, after this mild remonstrauce peiaiat lnt dogging ns, we shall feel it our duty to expose tliem ttat the public may Judge between tiiS genuine and counterfeit.
