A Call ion Crleana for lira Engines, Which Fortunately Are So Needed, for the Fire la Got Under Control at 1 O'clock This Morn in JJ. At 9 o'clock last nbrat a fire was dlscorered at Bay 8t- Lools, on the beacn, some distance from the depot, and In a short-time it had spread to the adjoining houses.

Tha Information was telegraphed to this city, and Chief Engineer O'Connor waa called on by Foreman Alho, of the Bay Sc. Louis Fire Company, for assistance. Chief O'Connor telephoned to the West ern union omce from his house, ana inquired as to what arrangements had been made for transportation. He was Informed that a train would be got In readiness at once, and at about 12 o'clock this morning he caused an alarm to be sounded from the comer ef Julia and Leree streets, which brought the Fire Department to the scene. The Information was that about twelve or fifteen houses were destroyed.

At 1:10 o'clock adrice waa received that the services of the New Orleans department were not required, and that the lire was under control. Chief, O'Connor then ordered the department back to their engine-houses. At U2ft o'clock thia' morning the following telegram waa received from Bay St. Louis To Charles N. Marshall.

It was held tht the principal was not liable for the unlawful act of maaeputy. lue ease of McCo.locn. et aj.

va the Auditor of PnoUo Accounts waa decided to-day. The main ooutenilon waa that lands sold to the State for the taxes of 1361, including the Confederate war taxes, were not suljct to be aold (or liquidating levee uuuer fcue act of ld67. levying a tx of dve cants per aere on lands in the delta counties and excepting lands held by the Scace, and consequently sha latter a alee were void, and as a ortliee consequence tha the laads were properly sold tu the State agaia under the abatement act in 1ST 5. lhia point toe court did n.n decide, but held tbut it was not for the Auditor to quretlon the validity of any sale to State, aud that any person was eutltit to parcUaee from the Aauj-tor l.nae appearing aavo been sold to the Btate for taxes. The conn also decided that the lands of the Memphis and Vicksourg BaUroad now tne Louisville.

Orleans aud Texas Bailroad Company, were not exraipt rro in taxes under 11a charter, and consequently that the Auditor was not authorized it the act of 1831 to quit claim tne States rj la It as a porouaser of the lands from the liquidating levee hoard without collecting all a ate. county and outer taxes due 1 hereon. It Is beuovea that the decision doea not effect the title in case of regular sales made prior to 185 for liquidating levee taxes, tne effect of the sale 01 1833 remaining to be decided. Tne case was re-tuanded to the lower court to be further decided. One of the most important features of this decision la that none of tuese lands were exempt trom taxation at least since 1873, and that the back taxes must be collected.

It is estimated that the back taxes of the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas H'-ftnit will amount to at least tioo.000. Hon. Oeo. W.

The ebnrch building, which la one of the largest in the State, was crowded last night, tne congregation being composed of all denominations. He preached a most feeling; ser mon, taking for his text the last verse of toe last chapter of Second Corinthians: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of Ood and the communion ot the Uoiy Ghoet be with you alL Amen." After the sertnou was over his friends flocked in crowds round himself and wife to bid them good-bye. The scene was a most affecting one.

Sobs were audible in direction, and there were but few eyes not miHrv with tears. The lore and best wisnea of the whole community go with them both. and the seeds lor good sown in common will bear fruit for many years to come. It is rumored here this evening tnat tne Illinois Central Bailroad has bought the Georgia Paclffo and will assume control on Jan.

Humored Coolness Between Blaine and Iogaiw WAsmsGTOs, Nov. 29. Dr. Hamilton, Chief of the Marine Hospital Service, states that the cholera has been increasing decidedly In South America, moving northward from the Argentine Republic, and that he has asked the government agent at Havana to take special pains in regard to all vessels coming trom South America to the United States by. way of Havana The first ease nnder the new act Imposing a tax npon oleomargarine came no here in the police court to-day, the party's agent being charged with being a retail dealer without having paid the special tax therefor.

Bo; sale, however, was proved and the case was dismissed. THS DISTRICT C03CkTESI03rEB3 hare been condemned by a large meeting of citizens presided over by Mr. Biggs, one of the most prominent and wealthy residents of Washington, but they seem to have very little respect for public opinion and are not likely to resign until the President notifies them to do bp. They seem to think they are laying an an chor to windward with him by refusing license for a beer saloon to a poor fellow. the only pretense being that the place of his saloon Is about half a mile from tne President's new country place, but the President is not the kind of man to approve Bach an arbitrary proceeding.

The eonfsrenoa committee of the Inter state Commerce Committee axe delayed by the absence of two Senators Messrs. Piatt and Harris. Tha struggle Is between the commission bill of the Senate and the more radical Beagaa bill ot tho House ot Bepre- sentativea. Judge Eeagan will probably Insist on the provision forbidding a higher rata for a short than a long haul over the same route, and on this the conference committee will probably hare to report a disagreement. Boms time since information reached this government to the effect that one Gregorls Rivera, alleged to be a cir.lrin of the United States, had been MCBJKST BT MlTTCAlf OFTICIALS at a place about thirty miles below 1 Paso.

The Mexican Government undertook to In vestigate the ease, and the Governor ot Chihuahua has caused a detailed Investigation to be made. The official report Is to tlie effect thai Blvera was killed while resisting, on Mexican soil, a warrant for hia arrest and after shooting one of the party, and, further, that Blvera lived in Mexico as a Mexican citizen, and that he never registered his name In that country as a citizen of the United States. i Admiral Porter ta his report takes strong ground for tho reorganization of the different branches of the Navy Department. He advocates the policy of the government's encouraging the private ship yards ot the country, but also says that the necessity for a government iron ship building yard Is greater than it was In 18 oO, and that it seems that neither the government nor private in dividuals possess the necessary facilities for the rapid ooustrootlvn ot ships ot war. Hs thinks the government should be independent of esxsida possess ar that in case the Contractors decline to do tho public work at proper prices the government may OOHSTkUCT ITS OWH SHIPS.

The Admiral fa ors League Island, on the Delaware, for a building yard, though it Is easily shown that either Norfolk or New Or leans would possess superior ad ran rages. According to the Tribune's last article on money and business the net Imports of gold at New York for October last were and -In November the net Imports have already been about $7,000,000.

At this rate the aggregate exDOrts for the month from all porta would exceed the imports by about $17,000,000. The report that there la A POSITIVE COOLNESS betwen Gen.

There is not a white man in either one ot these Territories wh could sit la a ease involving the rights ot an with any kind of airuesa The eouvlcaon ot the criminals would leare their families untouched. These families would train no children to revenge tha deaths of those who were punished and the result would oo a continuation or the oat-la wry which has for years made life and property so insecure in the two territories. Ane removal or the Indians to Florida takes away nearly all of the families and leaves no stock to breed robbers aud assassins tor the future. As matter of fact the Indians transferred to Florida have been sentenced to a linger ing death.
