MARCH 2, 1881. MONEY matters were fairly active yesterthe demand for loans brisk, and the day, market firm at per cent. Outside of bank time paper was placed at 6 per and call loans were negotiated at 5 per cent. Local securities were dull. There Was a fair mercantile, demand for Eastern exchange.

The market for foreign exchange was quiet. Sterling lower. Government four per cents quiet. Cotton was more active; middling Groceries quiet, Coffee lower. Flour weak.

Wheat feeble. Corn quiet. Rye was not so strong. Oats firm and active. Barley in good demand and strong.

Whisky active and firm. Tennessee and the Ohio Valley, clear weather, followed by increasing cloudiness, winds shifting to warmer easterly, with falling barometer. INDIANAPOLIS editors have a great habit of cowhiding sick people. As A disturber of Wail street Congressman CARLISLE is a success. MR.

JOHN KELLY is a very conspicuous figure at Washington. This is very proper. IF VENNOR sent this last storm upon us he should be crucified against the North Pole. Ir is thought that Mr. GARFIELD'S wine policy at state dinners will be somewhat liberal, SHERMAN will hand in his resignation He need have no fear that it will to not be accepted.

IF New York fails to have a World's Fair in 1883 it will be because of the want of enterprise i in its press. CINGINNATI is surprised to learn that it took St. Louis a whole year to drink 48,000,000 glasses of beer. THE proposition of DEACON RICHARD SMITH to drive one of Mr. KIRBY'S bungs into him is as of the Church Militant.

Ir Chicago gets the next World's Fair, as seems now not unlikely, she should offer large premium for the best snowplow. THE negro vote will not be so large here this spring, as our colored brethren over the river dislike leaving home in cold weather. IF CHARLEY FOSTER goes into GARFIELD's Cabinet and takes bis money with him, the next Governor of Ohio will be a Democrat. IN the eyes of a New Orleans man or woman a Mardi-Gras, compared to the simple inauguration of a President, is as Ossa to a wart. THE HON.

THEODORE COOK should see to it that the Hon. BENJAMIN EGGLESTON and the Hon. RICHARD SMITIE do not differ very seriously in regard to the Southern Railroad Bill at Columbus, INFORMATION of the collapse of the Land League is one of the regular features of the foreign dispatches. The foreign Associated Press man is the victim of delective information. He is troubled a great deal that way.

THE trouble in fixing up the new Belt Road organization in Chicago seems to be in getting out stock cortiticates sufficient for the railroad officers who demand an interest, and threaten, in case of refusal, to make trouble. CARL SCHURZ has accepted an invitation to dinner extended to him by prominent citizens of Boston. The dinner is becoming quite a distinguishing feature of American polities; but why is it always given to those who do not need it? THE Ohio Legislature has been in session for two months, and yet has hardly turned a wheel. 1. One part of its majority is in New Orleans and the other in Washington.

Should either fail to return next week the Democrats will give three cheers for ANDY and go home. ONLY one more day for those newspapers that insist upon telling us in each issue how many days remain for President HAYES. The exit of Mr. HAYES will work a great hardship to those newspapers, but think of the balm of Gilead it will bring to their roaders! THE Boston Post reminds people that they can not keep Lent and attend the inauguration ball at the same time. Congress made inauguration day a legal holiday for the District of Columbia.

It might have set Lent back until the ball was over. That it did not do this was a great oversight. IT is hardly to be expected that the Republican Administration should pass away without some job being traced directly to the door of White House. Private Secretary RoGERS, as attorney and lobbyist for the Chiriqui Land and nest out of the United States Treasury, Coal Company, which seeks feather its 1 does the business for Mr. HAYES.

Attorney-General Lincoln. General GARFIELD has not taken the public into his confidence touching his Cabinet. But the country generally understands that BLAINE is to be Secretary of State. This is a political appointment. It is also widely believed that Governor FOSTER will be Postmaster-General, for the ENQUIRER has made this.

announcement. This will be an appointment diestated by friendship, gratitude, reciprocity, neighborhood. There will be some geographical appointments in the construetion of the Cabinet. There would, of course, be an appropriateness in giving the control of the Navy Department to the sea-board, and to the great city by the sea. The business of the Treasury Department covers the continent, and is in no sense limited to the sea-board, and should be conducted in continental spirit rathor than in sectional one, and it would therefore be eminently fit to take the Secretary of the Treasury from the interior; and, after all, this is likely.

to be done. But it is probable that one Cabinet appointment will be made wholly upon grounds of sentiment. It is reported that General GARFIELD is liable to call into his Cabinet ROBERT T. LINCOLN, the son of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, to be Attorney-General. Why not? We have no titles in this country, The Constitution commands that title of nobility shall be granted by the United States, and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them shall, without the consent of Congross, accopt of any present, emolument, nifice, or title of any kind whatever, King, Prince or foreign Sta can not have so great cot history, without tradiLion National names, and without the homage which National names inevitably command.

JAMES A. GARFIELD was a young man, almost a boy, when ABRAHAM LINCOLN was elected President of the United States, He was of the impressional, emotional, sympathetic age: He had been four years out of College. He had been a member of the State Senate of Ohio. His early, life had been a struggle with poverty and hardship, not unlike that of the early life of ABRAHAM LINCOLN: and as a young man who had not yet seen thirty years, he saW the quaint, lank, angular, tender-eyed, soft-hearted Western American lifted into the Presidency. It was a revolutionary period.

GARFIELD had served a brief time in the army, and had become a member of Congress, when ABRAHAM LINCOLN was murdered and by a dramatic maniac. 'The martyred early political life of JAMES A. GARFIELD the name of ABRAlIAM LINCOLN forever was wrapped up in the which fixed in American history. LINCOLN Was the first Republican President, and his Administration covered the most terrible, tragic time in the story of the country. His election led to most important changes in the Constitution of the country, in its institutions, in tho political thought of its people; and this reflective, imaginative young man, who had graduated from a tow-path and Williams College, entered upon this revolutionary period at thirty.

What is more natural than that he should recollect when, twenty years later, he is elected President, the name that surrounded and pervaded and stood as the representative of the power of the Government in that bloody epoch? GARFIELD'is a man of sentiment. He loves poetry, literature, traditions, and the memories of that early time when he began his political career do not escape him. It is not at all unlikely that, possessing such a temperament, with such mental habits, he will, as a mark of respect to the martyred A ABRAHAM LINCOLN, fix the name of LINCOLN more in the annals of the country by making his son Attorney-General. ROBENT LINCOLN is a young lawyer of fair abilities, good character and creditable aspirations. He lives in great city and in a great State.

It is understood that General LOGAN, without unbecomingly endeavoring to demand the appointment of ROBERT LINCOLN to a Cabinet place, has suggested and desires it. General LOGAN, it will be remembered, is a gentleman who accompanied SIMON CAMERON and RosCOE CONKLING and General GRANT 'to Mentor last fall; and it. is not likely that the wishes of either of those celebrated visitors to Mentor last fall, pending the Presidential election, will be altogether ignored. Apart from the requests of General LOGAN, the calling of ROBERT T. LINCOLN into the Cabinet of General GARFIELD -the son of the first Republican President to the Cabinet of the RepubPresident which the country will see for several Administrations would be a graceful step toward sentiment, toward idealism, toward romance, towand feeling in American politics, which the country ought to behold with pleasure.

Police Agency to be Established in the City.

Ex-Chief of Police Charles Wappenstein is about to establish 8 police agency in the business portion of this city to be called the "Merchants' Private Police." The plan is. to obtain subscriptions from business Arms and bankers who will be charged a certain sum per month for the services of the watchman to be employed by the agency. Head-quarters will be established probably on Third street, which will be in charge of a sergeant. Messinger boys will also be at the head The watchmen will be on duty from six o'clock in the evening until 6 or 7 a. m.

At six o'clock the men will all go out to their beats. The first round will be made by two men on each beat, when the doors aud windows of all banks, belonging to subscribers. After this round one inan will return from each beat and sleep until 1 o'clock a. leaving one man ou a beat. At one o'clock the men on waich on the beats will be relieved by those who have been sleeping during the fore part of the night.

By this plan better service can be got from the men, as they thus do not have a long enough watch to wear them out. Good, active, reliable men will be selected, and they be uniformed and furnished with dark lanterns and clubs. They will be required to try doors on their beats at least once in forty minutes, In case a door is found open, a report of the fact will be immediately made to the Sergeant in charge, and he in turn sends a messenger to the residence of the proper party to notify. Thus the men do not have length to of leave time, their if at beats all, for in any case considerable necessary to send for a proprietor or other person. Quite 8 number of very prominent merchants have signed a contract to subseribe, and many others will join the agency within the next few days.

The plan is viewed with utmost satisfaction by the leading business houses in the bottom, and stein, it deserves to succeed. Colonel Wappenwho is a first-class detective, at present attached to the city police force, will give the Agency his personai supervision. The Death of A Fallen Woman. Bridget Buckley, a white woman, living at No. 103 Culvert street, was taken to the City Hospital at half-past three o'clock yesterday morning, and died a half hour later.

She suffered from epileptic fits. At Arst it was thought her death was caused from injuries received during a quarrel she had with Susie Clark, a colored woman, on Friday last. Accordingly, Susie and another colored woman, Dora Casey, were arrested bat upon the investigation by the Coroner it was found that the woman died from natural causes, and Clark and Cases were released. On lust Thursday Bridget Buckley had a fight with Payton Baker, colored, and the two rolled off a porch to the ground, a distance of fifteen feet. The woman was not hurt, but Baker had two ribs broken, and was otherwise injured.

He is now in the Hospital. City Personals. COLONEL L. C. WEIR is In Kansas City.

After the wedding rites were over the happy couple and their friends repaired to the Residence of the bride's parents, where a reception was tendered to them, followed supper and dancing.

There is on exhibition in Robert Clarke': window, on Fourth street, a picture, by Webber, of an old gentleman reading the ExQUIRER, with his right fore finger raised, as if to point a principle, or empbasize a fact, while his ere is eager, as if the alert for some 10ng-forgotten scene which he is on the point of fishing out from the past for the instruction Or amazement of his listeners. Beneath is written: "Now, there's a story about that." The likeness is of George Graham, the founder of our present emeient Public School System and the Water-Works, one of the most highly respected and venerable of our citizens. Thousands passing involuntarily exclaimed: "How natural!" and, reading the inscription beneath, "Yes, that's old Uncle George; that's just like him." George Graham is dead. It is no small praise to say that no man was so well known in Cincinnati as he; and, also, that no man knew Cincinnati as well as be. To him Cincinnati was his child.

He had seen it in its infancy, and watched every phase of its growth and manhood. HIS EARLY LIFE. He was born in Stoyestown, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, in November, 1798. He was the son of George and Elizabeth Graham, and his father was an officer in the Pennsylvania volunteers in the War of 1812. Upon one 00- casion his father marched a regiment to the defense of Black Rock when an attack was threatened by British troops in Canada.

Young George accompanted his father, acting as clerk, and made out the pay -rolls of the soldiers, and other papers for the Governor of Pennsylvania. Returning from the war, he went into the dry goods business with his brother, and soon developed that sagacity for business and affairs that characterized his after career. In 1816 he and his brother contracted to buiid the first turnpike road over the Alleghany Mountains, and at the same time entered into an agreement to carry goods from Philadelphia to Pittsburg in ten days, a trip now made in as many hours. AT CINCINNATI. In 1822 he visited Cincinnati, and at once entered into business copartnership with M.

P. Cassilly and George M. Davis in the wholesale hardware business. This copartnership lasted only for about three months, as disagreements arose which induced Mr. Graham to retire.

His next venture wAs to supply. the troops at Prairie du Chien and Fort Snelling with army supplies. In the following year, 1823, he returned to Cincinnati and formed a partnership with C. W. Gazzam in the general commission and steamboat business, and agents and builders of bouts in the Cincinnati and New Orleans trade.

The enterprise, industries and associations that from this time until yesterday he was connected with, organized, managed and carried on successfully are numerous. His growth was part and parcel the city's advance, and there is hardly a public. improvement that he was not at some time or in some way connected with. He was a LEADING MASON, And as early as 1824 one of the charter members, to organize the Lafayette Lodga to recelve the friend of the Colonies and American liberty on the occasion of his visit to the West. A year later, when the General was received.

he delivered the welcoming address. In 1827 he had taken the thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite, and WAS one of the seven who organized the Scottish Rite Consistory in this city which now numbers seven hundred members. THE WATER-WORKS. The Cincinnati Water- works he considered as his child, aud it was his custom every Sun. day to visit and inspect the improvements about them.

In 1825 Samuel W. Davies offered to the city his charter from the State for supplying the city with water for one hundred years, together with ten acres of ground and all his improvements. Davies lacked the means to carry on the enterprise, and offered it to the city for about $20,000. They rejected the offer by a large majority. The far-sighted vision of George Graham saw the future of the Queen City, and, in company with John P.

Foote, Wm. Green, Davis B. Lowler and Wm. S. Johnston, Mr.

Graham purchased the charter, for $30,000. At five different times the city demanded the Works, or A price to be fixed upon them, and this was finally done at a sum which would make the net income 6 per cent. on the purchase money. In 1839 the net Income was $18,000, which made the value $300.000, which was the price the city paid. To-day -the establishment with its various connections pays the city an annual interest on $6,000,000.

IN POLITICS. Mr. Graham was never a politician in the common parlance. He was a public man in that he favored all sorts of public improvements, every thing to develop the country and the city that he loved. Of late years acted with the Republican party and on the night of the election he remained up all nigbt to hear the news.

In 1829 ho was elected to the Legislature, and was at once given a position on the Finance Committee. In this capacity he assisted in the examination of all accounts of Canal Commissioners for the construction of the canals of the State, and was the means of having adopted improved measures for the management of the Public Works. Daring the session he spent much time in hunting up frauds in the Treasury, which were of several years' standing. THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. He may justly be styled the parent of our present public school system.

He took great pride in this, frequently spoke of it, 90 subject being dearer to his heart than the edudaLion of the masses. In 1832 he WAS elected Trustee of the Public Schools, and his energetic hand coon appeared. Many flagrant abuses existed which he soon reformed and prepared code of rules for the government of pupils, teachers and parents, which were printed, framed and hung in each of the houses. He introduced the examination of the scholars at the end of the session, and used to march at the head of a procession of school children to some church on the closing day, where rewards of merit were bestowed Mayor. In 1831 'he applied to the City Council for funds to build 8 model school-house large enough to contain five hundred scholars.

The Council proposed to erect a wooden one of two stories, with steps outside, for $1,200. This did not please Mr. Trustee Graham, who at once rejected it as not good enough. He adopted his own plan-appointed a Superintendent-of brick and guaranteed payment in case the city refused. The builaing was completed fu 1831, and eight others on 8 similar plan at once erected in the various wards with funds procured on city bonds, payable twenty-five years from date, with six per cent.

interest. Right here should be mentioned his connection with the Ohio Mechanics' Institute, of which he was one of charter members, and for several years, with John P. Foote and Calvin Fletcher, paid the rent of a suitable building until the present site on Sixth and Vine was secured, aud by the exertious of Miles Greenwood and Marston Allen and others the present magnificent structure erected, free from debt, thus affording educational facilities to apprentices of the city in drawing and mechanical engineering. NATIONAL AND STATE ENTERPRISES Always commanded his share of attention and study. In 1838 he was elected President of the Jeffersonville Association, a Company com posed mainly of Cincinnati citizens in 1536 to build up and extend the town of Jeffersonville, Indiana, above the Falls of the Ohio River, opposite Louisville.

There they laid off a tract of 510 acres into lots, but their principal object WAS to seoure the building of 8 spacious canal on the Indiana side of the river around the Surveys were made by the Company and by Colonel Long, United States Englueer. By these surveys it was estimated that for a sum less than $1,800,000 a canal of 80 to 100 feet wide, with locks of 400 feet in length, could be constructed to pass the largest class of boats. This was about the amount that was required to enlarge the Louisville Canal. Mr. Graham, interest of the Company, spent much time in Washington during two sessions of Congress trying to secure aid for his At two different sessiens the Senate passed a law authorizing the construction of the canal, but as often the House, having a preponderance of Southern members, defeated it, considering that a canal in a free State as inimical, hence the Louisville Canal was ordered at a cost to the Government of over double the estimate of the cost of the Indiana Canal.

Had this canal been built the commerce of the river would have had two canals and avoided the great expense that the largement of the Louisville Canal incurred. PRIVATE ENTERPRISES. In 1829, in connection with A. Richards, he was the owner of the first cotton-mill in Dayton, and at the same time carried on a large for bullding cotton -mills and machinery. He also erected Dayton the first carpet-manufactory west of the Mountains.

In 1885 he made a contract to make machinery and put it in operation for Company of Mexican capitalists to make fine cambrie muslins in the Durango District. nine hundred miles from the sea coast. The machinery had to be transported on the backs of mules that carried about two hundred pounds apiece. In 1836 Mr. Graham and other citizens armed and equipped a body of troops to defend.

Texas against the threatened invasion of Santa Anna. These troops, with 8 company from Louisville, were the main portion of the army who fought at and Jacinto Houston, under captured the lendership of Anna, Sherman Texas Independent and secured its admission to the Union. He was mainly Instrumental in the construction of the Cincinnati and Miamitown pike, now known as Cincinnati and Harrison, which be macadamized by aid. of steam machinery. Mr.

bam WaS also instrumental in introAucing the frat steam fire engine ever used in the United States. The city then had volunteer Fire Department, which numbered three thousand men, who were governed by their own laws, and whose proceedIngs were sometimes marred by lack of harmony. Graham, st that time, was not only a fireman who attended every fire, but Chairman of the Finance Committee of the City Counell, and member of the Committee of the Fire Department. He with others saggested the application of steam fire engines, and suggested that A. B.

E. Latta be employed to make one for experimental purposes. The experimental engine was not to exceed in cost $400, and if the experiment was successful the city waS to purchase the machine. The engine Was built and public trial ensued, at which Geo. Graham, Miles Greenwood and Joe Ross officiated as masters of ceremonies.

The engine raised steam in five minntes and threw water fifty feet through an inch-nozzle. At the next meeting of the Council the requisite $5,000 was voted for the purchase of the first steam fre-engine in the United States. HIS PRUDENCE Was well Illustrated by his action when Chairman of the Finance Committee, when he was ordered to issue $1.000.000 worth of city bonds to certain railroads terminating in the city. This was in accordance with a vote passed by the citizens the previous year, in which security for the interest was required, but the Council had circumstances failed to the compel Chairman security. Under the fusd to issue the bonds, and ordered the repeal was of the ordinance, and a new ordinance passed compelling ronds to pay interest and give ample security to the city before they received the city bonds.

The next year the new Council, with Thomas Edwards, President, repenled the ordinance requiring security, and the Bailroad Companies were allowed to substitute their stock. Thus $1,000,000 was lost to the city. ACQUIREMENTS Mr. Graham's acquirements were varied. Of practical turn of mind, he had a great taste for all scientific pursuits.

He was a charter member of the Cincinnati Horticultural Society, and elected President in 1870. At the great Sanitary Fair in 1863 he was the most active and untiring of all the officials He WaS Chairman of the Wine-Growers' Association. Chairman of Autograph and Relic Department, War Memorials, curiosities, He was the author of one-half of the 578-page report, and personally unpacked, arranged and shipped the 1,200 specimens there exhibited. In 1867 he visited Europe attending the Exhibition. He was President of the Academy of Natural Sciences, President of State Naturai History Society, dad for several years Trustee of Woodward and Hughes High Schools.

He was one of the early Trustees of the Cincinnati College, and continued so for forty years. He visited San Francisco as one of a Congratulatory Committee on the completion of the Pacitic Railroad in 1869. PERSONAL TRAITS. His habits were peculiar. Methodical and self-reliant to the last, he never would admit that he was sick.

When he did not appear at breakfast Mor day morning some friends repaired to his room, and found him not arisen. "Why, you are sick, Mr. Graham?" exclaimed one. "No, I'm not. I'm as well as I ever was," and made an "You effort to rise.

under His weakness was apparent. are only the weather a little, Mr. Graham," said another. "Yes, said the old man, "that's all." Yesterday afternoon he became unconscious and gradually six wasted, and passed gently away at half-past yesterday evening. He rarely wore an overcoat, and would not unless compelled to.

Flannel he never wore. He WaS fond of amusements--went to see Bernhardt, attended the Opera Festival, and Sunday took in the whale, which he pronounced a great curiosity. He was fond of books, and always attended book auctions, where he usually purchased any thing and every thing relative to early American history or that of Cincinnati. Davies' trade sales he rarely missed, and Perry Morton's and Wiswell's picture gullery were his favorite daily resorts. He passes away, living near and about the same time that Madame "Trollope's Folly" fades out of sight.

He is an old land-mark. By far the youngest old man of the city. He married in 1827 Miss Ellen F. Murdock, of Urbana, Ohio. She had by him five children, two of whom are living, Robert M.

Graham and Lavinia the wife of John M. Newton, the accomplished Librarian af the Mercantile Library. His family were with him, and his death was painless. FACTS Current and Concurrent-Eventa of a Busy Day. SHE closed up strong.

BUNKO has temporarily been transferred to New Orleans and Memphis, but policy remains all the same. TIMID buyers sat around the blackboards, wanted to but dare not, while the bears sailed in and got warmed. ST.

PAUL did pretty well yesterday, but Wabash preferred, Union Pacific and Telegraph beat them all. Tas Union Pacifie is said to be controlled now by Boston capital, with Sidney Dillon as its chief representative. B. S. CUNNINGHAM, President of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, term of office twentyfive years, doesn't sound badly.

COUNTIES all want to borrow money as cheap as the Government. The time has passed, I gentlemen. That harvest has been gathered. Ir the amendment of Senator Kirby should tend to frustrate the plans of any newlyformed railroad syndicates it would be naughty. Sours of the old banks of the olty will be astonished when they learn what some of the young ones have been doing in the way of business.

MR. J. N. KINNEY went to St. Louis night before last, it is said, to get Jay Gould, who is now there, to complete the Kentucky Central extension.

THE ladies who set out to abate the smoke nuisance should not weaken or falter in their good work. No great reform can be achieved without persistent, intelligent hard work. SENATOR KIRRY is in doubt whether he belongs to the Mudsills or the Royalists, but his mind is clear that Hon. Richard Smith represents a ring on the Southern Railroad question. THE Charley Jacob, business has at last been brought to a point where nothing can upset the primaries.

Uncle Henry Kessler has the matter in charge, and will make success certain. WHEN the warm weather comes the Chamber of Commerce ring that has held a monopoly of the best heat register during the winter will, it is understood, appropriate an cast side window to its use. GENERAL HICKENLOOPER is serene and confident in the belief that he will soon succeed Charley Foster as Governor, notwithstanding Deacon Smith's nomination of Halstead to a place in Garfield's Cabinet. THE stock men complain loudly of the exorbitant charges made by the United Railroad Stock-yards of this elty for the corn, oats and hay furnished. Competition in business is often a great leveler of charges.

Ir would be hard to And a street in any city of the first class, having population of 150,000 or upward, in the world in such a wretched condition as Vine street, from Fourth street to the foot of the northern hills. Ir the Consolidated Street Railroad Company is succesful in carrying out a scheme, now believed to be hatching, for a further watering of stock to the extent of $500,000, it will probably prove a good thing for the insiders. THE National Banks seem inclined to invite Congress to maintain the tax on their deposits some time longer. There would be retributive justice in this, without a flaw, were it not that the State Banks will have to suffer in common with tue sinners. CLIFTON AVENUE, leading from Vine street to Clifton, is now one of the most traveled roads in the county, and yet it is left in miserable condition, and is not lighted at uight from Calhoun street to Ludlow avenue, a distance of one mile.

Why is this? SENATORS EGGLESTON and Fleischmann are for, and Senator Kirby against, the Elevated Railroad, and it is Armly believed that the Legislature will refuse to organize itself into a Court to try the question of the powers of the Board of Public Works to make the grant. THE National Banks are making a mistake in pinching their borrowers, merely to show their opposition to the Funding Bill. If the banks can organize to defeat legislation, it may be worth while to consider whether they do not peril their own existence.

Quinian, of Alexanderville, Ohio. They had about $1,000 money between them, and said they were on their way South to start a saw-mill. Penfield got drunk and strayed away from Quintan, and did not turn up for several days, when he entered the Hammond- reet Station along with a lot of lodgers. He was out of his mind from the effects of liquor, and was held at the Police Station until Quinlan came and took him away: DISPATCH TO ENQUIRER.

The Political and Commercial tion-How the 1 Political Machine is Run Biographical Sketches of the Leaders Information for President Garfield. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE ENQUIRER.

NEW ORLEANS, February 25, 1881. THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS Was founded by Blenville, and the people who were used in driving the first stakes, digging the ditches, as well as those who were the first settlers, were French convicts. It was not intended as a penal colony, but it started its population with convicted felons. In a few years they were able to fit out small vessels which preyed upon the coast commerce, and other pirates were attracted thither because of the excellent facilities of the port. But the original settlers resisted the encroachments of the new-comers, whom they seem to have regarded as carpet-baggers.

THE PIRATE LAFITTE Attempted to make this his rendezvous, but the residents claimed the beat as their own; and though they allowed him to hover in the neighborhood when in danger, they prohibited his plying his vocation east of Galveston Bay. When Spain assumed the control and ownership of Louisiana the Spanish authorities were regarded as constituting a carpet-bag Government, and were resisted to that extent that the Governor never had any thing but a nominal control, and that was limited to the Spanish garrison. THE FIRST GOVERNOR, General Claiborn, whom the United States placed over these people, was compelled to resort to the bayonet to control them, and yet with "it he found he had no easy tusk. For years no respect was paid to the United States authorities, a condition which lasted untit the fortifications down the river and on the Rigolets practically cut off smuggling and buccaneering. In time political managers grew up among the French smugglers, the descendauts of the convicts, for they had grown rich, and needed only political honors to complete their dreams of of respectability, The managers took charge from the day of party organization up until the present New Orieans has been A DEMOCRATIC CITY, Except while controlled by a military government.

It is the ouly city in the Union which has remained continuously under the control of one political party ever since the party had an existence in the State. Long before the war the city bosses controlled the politics of the State through the machinery of the City Government, save for the brief period in which the Capital was removed to Baton Rouge, or "Red Stick" in English. THE FAMOUS SLIDELL Came to the surface and into power through the city government. He it was who made the Custom-house the center of all the political rascality of the State. for the present immense New Hampshire granite building was his conception.

The uncounted millions which he had appropriated ostensibly to carry on the work, but for his political purposes really, was the beginning of the Customhouse rascalities which have made New Orleans and Louisiana politics a stench in the nostrils of the whole country. In those days they had little occasion to rob the city, for the United Statesopened her purse freely enough to satisfy their demands. TWENTY-FIVE MILLION Is the city debt now, and it is one of the few infamous things which can not be charged to the carpet-baggers. It is a purely domestic affair, and had it not been, I suppose it would have been scaled clear out of sight. And yet it might as well be scaled, because no interest or part of the principai is ever paid, nor do the city managers seem concerned in the least about it.

They are too honorable to repeal the city charter; they would rather owe the debt than repudiate it. School teachers, police. gas bills and incidentals are unpaid, except in a depreciated scrip, which depends for its redemption upon A CITY LOTTERY, Which has drawings monthly under the title of the "Premium Bond Plan," by which the people make voluntary contributions by purchasing lottery tickets. At present the streets in the center of the city are unusually clean, thanks to the recent rains and overflow. which was a sanitary God-send, for it washed the dead cats, fecal matter and general assortment of accumulated filth into the back wards, where it will breed Yellow Jack and other pestilential diseases which are efficient in removing a large part of the surplus population.

MARDI GRAS ENJOYMENTS Are the chief end and aim of the residents of New Orleans. For this they risk yellow fever, endure the heat of the long summers, and the flying dirt and nith which the city authorities stir up nightly with fanning inachines, which blow the stuff into the houses, so that the servants may find employment in sweeping it out the next morning, for the Councilmen must do something in return for the $6,000 paid to each of them annually as compensation. STATE POLITICS. There are none in the sense in which the people of the North understand by one crowd. calling themselves Democratic and the other Republican.

The longer I stay among these people the more I am convinced that they are not understood. The people here never discuss a question of National or even State politics. The nightmare of NEGRO DOMINATION Still hovers over a large part of the population, and causes them to adhere to the The bosses City who style themselves Democrats. Hall gang-mainly the Fire Departmentruns the city, and through their manipulations, the whole State. THE OLD BOURBON RING That now dominates Louisiana is badly shattered.

Wiltz, Its chief, received severe blow when Nicholls instead of himself WAS nominated in 1876, and three years later the same rough elements that with guns installed Nicholls met in Convention, framed a new Constitution, declared it ratifled by popular election, and unseated Nichols' a year before the expiration of his term, and then Wiltz, who had straddled the new Charter as his saddle, assumed Executive functions. THE CONSERVATIVE ELEMENT Was affronted by this step, and it is the element which in time will break the ring, for it embraces planters, merchants and bankers. And it made its first practical remonstrance in November last in this city. when The Ring had barely submitted its properly ticket liberal the more conservative or Democrats projected one of their the Ring own, and elected their Mayor despite maThe City Hall to-day has ail the city officers, except Mayor Shakespeare, who chinery. is likely to prove a wedge who will split the Ring asunder.

It Is certain that Do city bas more commanding commercial empire than this, with her grest river, her ties southern and her seas, her southern passage to Europe for growing Mexican railroad grain. THE NEEDS OF NEW ORLEANS To-day is Immigration, which will bring new blood, muscle and motive. Every black laborer who goes West on the plea of escaping violence warns the immigrant to avoid LouIsians as they would pestilence. These abuses which have been tolerated against the blacks are known at all the emigration depots both on this and the other side of the Atlantic, and hence it is that the bull-dozer, whether a political manager or An unscrupulous employer, keeps away skilled labor and industrious hands that might befriend Louisiana, and restore her to her rank among the States. GENERAL GARFIELD Will have more trouble in selecting Federal officers for Louisiana than he will have in any other State.

I do not know that any advice of mine would influence him, but I want to give a few points showing the estimate placed on the present officers with few General in regard Badger, Collector of the Port 'is points to them. reputable man, a native of Maine, against whom nothing can be said, unless it is that Kellogg is his backer. General McMillen, the Postmaster, is an Ohio man, but in point of character ranks so high that the place of his birth does not milltate against him. He wants to be Collector of the Port. Jack Wharton, United States Marshal, is an officially reconstructed rebel.

He is not a Republican in a party sense, and is not trusted by the managers. Leonard, the District Attorney, is also an Ex-Confederate, and is charged with being a chief among the White Leaguers up to 1876, and after two years of probation was appointed to office as a conciliatory step on the part of Hayes. He is a native of this State. Tom C. Anderson, Deputy Collector of the Port, is a native of Virginia, and was in every Legislature in the State for thirty years.

He Is an 1872 Republican. Hay man, Surveyor of the Port, was ChiefJustice under Wells, and when Wells failed in his nomination he had Hayman appointed. He wants to hold over. Daumont, the Naval Officer, has a tinge of African in his blood, but is first-class man. Judge Pardee is another the Ohio man, but has not been mixed up with official seeking gang.

It is due to him to say that he the respect and confidence for of all classes of citizens, and will he urged District Judge if Billings should fail (and he ought to) in securing a renomination by General Garfield. JAYHAWKER. SINGED SOLONS. Burning of the Minnesota Capital. Narrow Escape of the Scared and Scorched Statesmen--Which Adds to the Loss of Records Saved.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. ST. PAUL, March nine o'clock this evening, while both Houses of the Legislature were in session, fire was discovered in the dome of the Capitol, and in two hours nothing remained of the building but brick walls and smoking ruins. The alarm was given in the Assembly and Senate none too soon. When the doors of the former chamber were thrown open and the cry of fire raised, it was followed by 8 blindcloud of smoke, and many members rushed for the windows, while the occupants of the gallery stampeded out through the halls.

Speaker Pro Tem. Rice was with difficulty kept from leaping from the window of the second story, in which the Chambers are situated. However, the members all got out safely, and the plucky clerks aud members saved all the important papers. In the Senate about the same, scenes 00- curred, but, being a smaller body, there was less excitement, and all got out safely. The fire caught in the The building is In the shape of a Maltese cross, of brick, two stories and Mansard roof, with dome in the center.

There are all sorts of rumors as to the origin of the fire prevailing-one being that it must have been the work of an incendiary, as there were no gas pipes or steam coils in the upper portion where the fire started. In a very short time after they were first discoyered the flames broke through the roof of the west wing, and gradually appeared in the roof of the other sections, the wood- work, which was dry and old, burning like tinder. Owing to the fire burning downward, the contents of the extensive oftices on the lower floor, which were not in the vaults, were saved. The records of the Supreme Court are all saved, although the valuable and extensive law library is lost. The rooms the State Historical Society were in the Capitol, and are reported to have lost a fine library of several thousand volumes and valuable relics.

The library of the Supreme Court was extensive and valuable. In the vaults of the. State Treasurer were $2,000,000 in bonds in the trust funds of the State, and special efforts were made by the firemen to save these vaults from the severe heat, as they are old, and fears were expressed by a few that they might not be proof against the terrible heat. Within an hour after the flames first appeared the entire roof had fallen in. The opper floors followed with loud detonations, which created a little panic among the thousands of spectators, who were the more excitable from the prevalence of reports of the presence of powder in the basement.

The Capitol has been built in sections, the first part being erected in 1853, with two additions since. The new Market Hall is being fitted up for the use of the Legislature. The building was worth $100,000, and, according to the policy of the State, was uninsured. TOLEDO TROUBLES Among the Office Holders and Office Hunters Indications of a New Deal All Around. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER.

TOLEDO, OHIO, March local indication of the certainty that Foster is going into the Cabinet comes to light to-day by information through intimate friends of J. P. Brown, ExState Senator, that that gentleman is certain to succeed C. H. Eddy in the place once warmed by Alex.

Reed. Brown has been chief fugelman here for Charley Foster, and scoured the North-west in his interest for the Senatorship. When Sherman, won, Brown refused to be comforted, but recently went to Columbus, and had a long consultation with Foster. Returning home he told his relatives confidentially that he was to have the Toledo Post-office under Foster, who would be Garfield's PostGeneral. Under this deal it is understood Brown's brother-in-law, Captain H.

C. Kohn, will be Assistant Postmaster, and his brother, Captain Brown, succeed. Langdon Smith as Chief of the Distribution Department. Smith is a brother-in-law of Captain Downing, and Brown has many old scores to pay off. Hence it is pretty sure that "Rome will howl" when this is learned for the first time through the ENQUIRER.

The situation has changed somewhat as to the District Attorneyship. John Kumler has added to his carpet-bag of papers the square indorsement of Frank Hurd's successor, J. N. Ritchie. With this Kumler thinks nothing but intrigue can beat him.

Two personal friends visited Mentor before Garfield left. and was assured that he was in "no deal" whatever, and were told by Garfield to go home and make up their papers. John C. Lee, however, is backed by Foster, who, it is thought, if he goes into the Cabinet, will control the appointment in favor of Lee, who was from his county. Frank Swayne (Kumler's other opponent) has the personal influence from the family and personal reasons of Justice Harlan, the intimate friend of his father, Justice Swayne, besides the pressure of Hayes himself Matthews' account.

The appointment is due March 16th. There is an entirely new deal in the Collectorship, the pressure inside and outside against the reappointment of Clarke Waggoner being enormous. Hon. Wm. Letcher, of Williams, has been the man expected to take the shekels, but be was embarrassed by the fact that be was a cousin of Garfield's.

He has now withdrawn, aud the whole solid support -Auditor been given to Captain J. B. Newton, of Wood County. Major Swigart, here from Bowling Green to-day, SAYS Newton is backed by every county Committeeman of the District, and by every county officer in Lucas County. Waggoner had some indorsement here.

but even his late pastor, Dr. Bacon, has indorsed Newton's papers. There is every indication, therefore, that the whangdoodle will mourn with only one term. A Minister Warmed Up. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER.

Davis' bill to extend the Cuyahoga County jury law to Hamilton County was passed. The bill was published in the ENQUIRER when introduced and passed without change.

Luke Brennan, of Cleveland, to-day made application for 8 reprieve for Welch, the Fremont murderer, who is to be hanged on Friday. He states that he -overheard conversation between John T. Norris, the detective who worked up the case against Welch. and the disreputable woman who was the main witness for the prosecution, and that a conspiracy was concocted between the two for the conviction of Welch, in order that they might share the reward of $1.500 offered by the Commissioner of Sandusky County. Mr.

Brennan does not know Welch, and comes here at his own expense in order to prevent what he believes will be judicial murder of Welch if Welch is, hanged. Brennan is strongly vouched for by State Treasurer Turney and other well-known eltizens of high standing. A lawyer in this city of high standing, who was not interested in the case, but who reviewed the testimony, says that if he had been on the jury he would have suffered his right arm to have been taken off before he would have convieted Welch on the testimony. A PECULIAR CASE. James Barr, Acquitted of the Murder of Matt Pollock, Now on Trial for Perjury in Connection With the Affair.

SPECIAL DISPATCII TO THE ENQUIRER. BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO, March night of the 15th of February, 1879, Mat Pol4 lock, known to the craft as Shorty Pollock (he was the tallest printer in the United States), was shot and instantly killed at a disreputable house kept by an old hag named Lavina Starchman. This case was reported to the ENQUIRER at the time in full by your present representative here, but in view of the complications that have since arisen, and the present trial (commenced this mornIng) growing out of the uffair as well as tie fate of one of the witnesses for the defense short history of the case will not bo out of place here. Pollock was shot within five minutes of twelve o'clock, midnight. The bullet cut one of the large sinuses at the base of the brain.

He bled to death in a few minutes, and as the blood flowed it was lapped up by a ferocious bull-dog that was snid to belong to the man charged with shooting him. James Barr was arrested for the crime, and cleared on an alibi. It was proved that he was present, that he, and poor Pollock were both intoxicated. Old Mrs. Starchman swore that he shot Poilock.

Yet, the jury cleared him. Some witnesses swearing, AS he did himself, that he was at the Branham House, two squares from the shooting, within five minutes of the shooting. Considerable money was spent in Barr's defense. Judge Lawrence, Hon. Duncan Dow and Judge West were all retained.

And it is said that one of the jurors told the others that they had better clear Barr, 05 the case was complicated, and that if any new evidence should be discovered that they could indict him again. One of the witnesses who swore hard in Barr's defense was arrested in the Court room and taken to jail. He is now serving a three years' sentence in the Ohio Penitentiary. After being cleared, James Barr worked in Logan County for about one year, when he was arrested on the charge of perjury in connection with his trial for murder. He has been in jail for the lust year.

The case has been fought off, but has finally been put on; and the Court is now engaged in securing a jury. At the time of the acquital of Barr there was a great deal of indignation, at the verdict and banhers censuring the Court and lawyers. as well as Logan County justice, was suspended across the streets. The case is very peculiar, and the Courtroom is thronged with an anxious crowd of spectators, AFTER THEIR SCALPS. Arrest of Officers of the Rochester Insurance Company.
