The information upon which the article referred to was based was obtained from a member of the Yacht Club, who seamed well posted as to the facts. The communication is as follows Editor Picayune In an article headed Miller's Grist," In your issue of to day, there appears a statement which is incorrect.

Mr. Miller has lain, himself open to much comment and criticism but in this instance you have been misin formed, and will, I am sure, make he necessary correction. The article reads: "Before coming to New Orleans he (Miller) telegraphed the yacht club that Gould's son was in the party, and he suggested a committee be appointed to receive the heir apparent ox the great millionaire at the steamer. The committee went down to the steamer with carriages, but young Gould was not there All leters and telegrams from Mr. Miller, representing Capt.

Ira Smith, were received and answered by the wri.ter.who was chairman of the Inter State Regatta Committee. There was nothing in the correspondence mention ing Mr. Gould, a reception, or making any suggestions whatsoever. As Vice Commodore of the 8. Y.

A Baawr that It Will Be Acaia Fat la Bannlac Order. It has been reported for several days that the old Mexican Gulf Railway had been purchased by Mr. Moses Schwartz, the late President of the Spanish Fort Railroad Co. A reporter for the Picayune spoke with Mr. Schwartz yesterday about this matter.

He stated that there was no truth in the rumor as he had not yet given the subject serious considera tion. Mr. Schwartz intends leaving for Europe abont August 1 and will spend several months in the Old World. The Mexican Gulf Railroad formerly ran from this city to Proctorville on Lake Borgne, a distance of about thirty miles. The line is graded all, the way, and portions of the track remain.

In case the road is operated again, it would be necessary to lay entirely new rails, and make considerable repairs on the road bed. There are numerous plantations along the route, which would make the road a paying one so far as freight is concerned. A TI CIOUS TICKSBVKGKR. Yesterday morning, aboat half past 10 o'clock, John Giddins assaulted Mary Myrtle at her domicile, No. 24S Gravier street, by placing a five shooter Smith Wesson revolver at her head and demanded her to vacate the premises immediately.

Officers Jackson and Mullen, who were standing at the corner of Basin and Common streets, were called npon to arrest Giddins.

PELICAN BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.

There was a large number of specnators present. At about 6 o'clock the association arrived, and marched into the cemetery with banners dying, and preceded by a large band of music. The association formed around, the tomb, with their banner in The tomb is one of the handsomest the cemetery, and contains 48 vaults.

It is sui mounted by the artistically carved representation of a pelican feeding her young. This fine monument was yesterday hung with the flags of several nations tastefully arranged. The ceremonies were opened bv Mr. Jno. H.

Manuel, chairman of the Building Committee, who presented the tomb to the association with a few appropriate remarks. Hon. A. L. Tissot, President of the association, in receiving the tomb, re annnnl in a short but.

Dr. Emile Doumeing then delivered the following oration We have met on these hallowed grounds of the Metairie Cemetery to be the witnesses of the solemn blessing by God's anointed servant of the tomb recently erected for the P. M. B. A.

The solemnity of the occaaiou, the sight of this imposing piece of structure, the various tombs and monuments that present themselves to our gaze on every aide, the very silence which pervades this city of the dead all this is well calculated to strike our minds with awe and reverence, but your Eresence here this evening, my dear rethren, that of your sympathizing friends and beloved families, the presence also of God's minister among us' somewhat relieves' the situation of its great severity and puts into our hearts, blended with the above, feelings of rejoicing, gratitude and consolation, Were I a poetI might dwell on the pleasures of the imagination as evoked by rambling through these abodes dedicated to the memory of the dead or a philosopher, and speculate upon the probable causes which at all times and in all countries have rendered such sacred snots as these dear to the hearts of men. lint I appear before you in neither of the above capacities. I stand here as your repretsentative, commissioned by you to say a few words in honor of the occasion. I will speak to you as an old member of the Pelican Association, inviting yon to consider with me the humble beginnings of the society, its trials and reverses, its Blow but steady march to pr asperity and finally the realization of its long cherished desire, the possession of a suitable place of interment for its deceased brethren. Nearly fifteen years ago, on the 24th day of November, 1866, some of Louisiana's truest and noblest sons, native and adopted, formed the Pelican Mutual Benevolent Association.

Little did Ihey foresee on that memorable day, the consequences of their first collective act, the preliminary meeting, nor indeed could they have imagined the extensive developments that, in the fifteen years to follow, their then budding organization would assume. The principal aim of the founders was to cultivate those ties of friendship which draw closer together the youth of civilized communities and to establish a sort of brotherhood that would afford its members some protection against the misfortunes and trials of this world. This generous idea, implying a double sentiment of friendship and benevolence soon found an echo in the hearts of many young men, friends of the founders, and in a few months the Pelican Mutual Benevolent Association numbered more than 100 members. When, however, one comes to study the early history of our society, he cannot help making the following reflection "All did not join it with the same motive." The mere love of association, pleasure, therefore, and not benevolence, must have been the greater power that to the new organization a great many of its new members for. as the principle of our uature, the principle of pleasure, is ever varying or changing, we can by it alone explain the many defections that occurred in less than a year afterward, that is to say, after the first enthusiasm had subsided.

Nothing tends to substantiate or confirm this impression more forcibly than the following peculiarity, which was noticeable in those days, viz: A great alacrity with many for subscribing generally towards securing a flag, a banner or even a gold badge for some esteemed officer than for settling their accounts with the collector. Bearing this fact in mind, then, it can be safely affirmed that a great many of the first members did not join the association with the proper motive, which is benevolence the spirit i of mutua benevolence. Hence, after a few months, or at most a few years, the society found itself reduced to a fearful extent. I remember the year when we numbered only eighty one members. 1 As a consequence our funds became low and discouragement prevailed.

But this did not last long. The association having ridden itself of a useless membership, entered on the way bf reform. The adoption of more stringent rules and the rigid enforcement of all the by laws soon prepared the road to renewed prosperity. Confidence was restored, healthy accessions re enforced our ranks, and in a few ears more the Pelican Mutual Benevolent Association ranked among the most prosperous of the benevolent organizations of the city of New Orleans. This is not the proper time or place to enter into minute details, and snow what the Pelican Mutual Benevolent Association has done from year to year.

Suffice it to say that annually a report of our loin gs is published and circulated among the members and their friends. There port of last vear (1S80) shows that, with a membership of S37 members, the benefits were extended to 81 families and to 111 members, at a cost of no less than $5000. During the present year, half of which has already rolled by, the relief committee alone exhibits on its records the sum of $1512 as having been variously distributed among those entitled toDenefit. It would seem that an association doing so much could hardly be expected to do more. Especially should this be the case with us, when it is a noteworthy fact that annual pic nics or excursions are not in our custom for the purpose of raising funds.

CBut behold, I point out to you a monument built of marble and granite on whose dome is perched the legendary white bird, emblematic of our dear State ol Louisiana as well as of our society, informing the visitor in letters of bold relief below that this is the property of the Pelican Mutual Benevolent Association of New Orleans. Cast your eyes upon this truly magnificent piece of work, contemplate its neat and elegant proportions, consider the cost of this monument, and tell me that yon have nothing to be proud of as a member of the i Pelican Association. i es, my friends, this mausoleum will teach you and the stranger that the Pelican Mutual Benevolent Association, not satisfied with doing good to its members when sick or in distress, wishes also to cherish the memories of those deceased and procure for them a decent, burial in a respectable place of rest. There may be among my hearers some friends or even relatives ef members who have died before this, and who may possibly regret that this tomb was not sooner built. "Let me assure them that it is intended all onr deceased members, past as well as future, and that in due course of time preparations will be made for the reception of those whose snrviv ing relatives may apply for a transfer of their remains.

What you now see before you, my friends, is an evidence of what may be accomplished by united efforts, economy, time and patience, self denial and perseverance. Will you not agree with me, then, that the completion of this costly monument, without one cent of aebt hanging over it, besides the vast outlay yearly made for the relief of sick members, conclusively shows that the ail airs of the society have been well managed up to this day I Honor to yourselves, gentlemen, but special honor to our beloved President, the Hon. A. L. Tissot, who during fifteen years has so wisely presided over our deliberations.

It is but just that on this auspicious day, a day of rejoicing, we should tender him a public acknowledgment of our. gratitude for his past services, coupled with the hope that the Almighty may grant him many more years of usefulness to his country, his family, and the association that loves him so well. To the Messrs. Kursheedt Bienvenu and to the sculptor who has bo successfully chiseled out the marble pelican on yonder height, we publicly tender our sincere thanks and compliments, wishing them as many more triumphs of their art as they may desire. As citizens of New Orleans we feel proud of their, success, and would wish to see home industry a little more liberally patronized by the various benevolent organizations of the Crescent City.

To Brother John II. Manuel, chairman, and other members of the building committee, we address our congratulations for their unflagging zeal in the performance of their duties and rejoice with them at the happy termination of their labors. These gentlemen have well deserved of the association, aud will long live in the hearts of their Pelican brethren, i To Brother Leon Nunes, chairman, and the other members of the Committee of Arrangements, we say: "Well done, ye good and faithful servants." To Brother John A. Betat, one of the founders, who has had in charge the adorning of this place, we say Many thanks for favors received, not only today, but on many other occasions." And now to you, Reverend Father I say We are profoundly grateful to you for having invoked God'a blessing upon this the last resting place of many ot us. We wish you in return all the blessing that God has in store for the good and faithful priest." Ladies and gentlemen, we thank you for having honored us with your presence on this solemn and memontble occasion, aud in particular, do sincerely thank you for having listened with so much patience to my humble efforts.

May protect you all. The Pelican Mutual Benevolent Association is now one of the largest and most prosperous in the city. It has 440 members, and every meeting there are accessions to its numbers.

Beard yesterday concluded the inquest into the death of Mary Davis and Eugene Dureau. The former was killed at West End on last Friday morning, between 1 and '2 o'clock, by an inward bound train. The evidence showed that the killing was quite accidental, as the woman had attempted to board the train a quarter of a mile from West End, and while the train was going at a high rate of speed. She had been warned by several people not to attempt to get upon the train. The jury returned a verdict that death was accidental, and that the engineer, fireman and conductor were free from blame.

Eugene Dureau died at the Charity Hospital at half past 8 o'clock on the morning of July 9 from a wound in the left arm, received while stealing egg plants in the garden of John Dennis, on the Grand Route St. John, between Gen tilly Road and Savage streets. Witnesses testified that on several occasions Dennis's garden had been robbed. He and his two sons had been in the liabitof keeping watch, during the entire night. On the morning of the shooting Dennis relieved one of his sons at 2 o'clock.

Everybody, at about half past o'clockjheard a shot, and afterwards found Dureau wounded. He had a dog, a basket, a knife and a half dozen egg plants with him, which he had plucked from the vines. Dennis was near by him with a double barrel shot gun. He said that he had shot Dureau, but would not have done it had he halted when he was told to do bo. i The jury, after hearing the above, returned a verdict that death had been caused by a gunshot wound of the left ami, which ad produced hemorrhage and death.

The wound was inflicted upon the premises of John Dennis, between 3 and 3 o'clock on the morning of July 9th. The jury further found that there was not sufficient evidence before it to say by whom the said wound was inflicted. THE CHARITABLE FUNDS.

11. Stevens, deceased, i Sneaks In Government The New York Times says: When Senator Robertson takes possession of his office as Collector of this Port he will find a system of espionage in vogue on the docks of the steamship companies which is very annoying to the official inspectors and appraisers, and an insult to every passenger landing in this city from an ocean steamship. This system seems to be founded in the belief that neither the custom house officers nor the traveling public can be trusted. About two years ago a German who had been employed as a runner" for the Pennsylvania Railroad to bell tickets to incoming passengers on the steamship docks, and whose reputation was not of the best, was discharged by his employers for alleged dishonest practices, and forbidden ty the various steamship companies to come upon their docks. He was well known to custom house inspectors and appraisers, i and were heartily glad when he left.

'A few days after his discharge, however, he sudden ly reappeared upon the docks, as a full fledged Government officer. He was armed with a document signed by Collector Merritt which practically made him a superior officer to the Inspectors and appraisers, and authorized him tO subject travelers to insults and annoy ances which would hardly be tolerated in any other civilized country. His office was virtually that of a spy npon officers and passengers, and he was given power to examine and seize the baggage of any passenger at any time, any place, and in' any manner he chose, although it had already been examined and passed by a regular, Government inspector. This power he has held and exercised up to the present time, and it is asserted that in very many cases he has exercised his authority in an offensive manner. His ostensible business is to watch the inspectors and see that they properly examine passengers' baggage.

A gentleman who is conversant with the espionge system said to a Times reporter that it is the custom of this Government spy to question the servants of wealthy passengers and find out as much as he can of the contents of trunks and other parcels, and the destination of their owners. Ashe never wears a uniform this is an easy thing to do. Tnen, having selected a victim, he waits until the luggage has been examined and passed by the custom house inspector, follows it' to the gate of the dock, and then, displaying is badge, rudely informs the owner that he is going to re examine his baggage. Then the trunks are again opened, and their contents spread on the dock If anything subject to duty is found, no matter how small in value, which was overlooked by. the regular inspector, the entire baggage is at once sent to the seizure room of the custom house.

Not even a change of linen or a night dress is permitted to be taken by the unlucky and indignant passenger. But in almost every instance nothing is found wrong, and the owner is kindly allowed to get his effects back into his trunks as best he can and go his way. But this, it is declared, is only the least annoying method the officer has of re exaniining baggage. Very often the trunks are followed and opened by him in ferry houses, railroad depots, and even in the residences of their owners. A few ago a gentleman arrived here from England with his wife and several children.

He lived in the far West, and was anxious to start by the first train. The steamer reached her dock on Saturday morning. After his trunks been examined and passed by the inspectors he sent them to the Pennsylvania Railroad" depot and went to a hotel for breakfast, intending to leave on an afternoon train. While he was eating the ex railroad runner went to the depot, placed Government seals on the trunks, and disappeared. The gentleman was, of course, unable to get bis luggage until the seals were removed by the officer.

The latter could not be found until Monday, when he walked into the depot, opened and searched each trunk, and then blandly informed the owner that he could pack up and go. Another, instance bf the ex runner's arbitrary exercise of tower was in the case of a member of the British. Embassy in Yokohama, who was passing throngh this country on the way to his post. The Government officers had been notified of his coming, and requested to treat him with courtesy. They did so, but after his luggage was examined and passed, the ex runner followed it to the end of the dock and compelled the British officer to again open nis trunks and allow him to search them.

Exactly the same thing was done with the baggage of the late Republican candidate tor Governor of a neighboring State, who arrived from Europe in the steamship Gallia on liei last voyage, A few weeks ago a well known banker and railroad manager, who is also interested in a prominent seaside resort, returned from a flying trip to Europe with light baggage. He was followed to his home in Brooklyn by the ex runner, who demanded to be allowed to re examine his baggage. The fellow was very properly ordered out of the house. Last fall a lady whose benevolence has made her known all over the country, and especially to every New York newsboy, came back from Europe with property on which she paid over $1100 duty. After her trunks had been examined and the duty paid they were sent to her home.

Then the ex runner appeared at the house and endeavored to induce the lady to permit him to search the trunks. As she knew her rights, he went away without seeing the baggage. One of the most wanton and brutal of his authority was made on the arrival of the steamship Germanic a few weeks ago. One of the Germanic's passengers was a lady who was dressed in deep mourning. When her trunks were examined no other mourning clothing was found.

She explained to the inspector that while on a visit to Europe, she had suddenly been summoned home by the death of a brother. After a thorough examination her bagzage wai found all right and passed, and she had it sent to the Desbrosses street ferry. The Government spy followed, stopped the trunks in the ferry house and searched them, but found nothing dutiable. Then be coolly that he niuBt search her person. The sorrowing and frightened lady fell to the floor in a swoon, and the.

man who had so grossly exceeded his authority hurriedly left the place. It is declared by those in a position to know that similar outrages occur after week under the present detejJv system, and that they can be ceoTtfe hundreds since the plan was ndonL? In nearly everv case the victim thankful to ptont of thgr officer, and da not care to make which would subject them to J1 trouble and inconvenience.

They saw that he realized the delicate situation in wLi' he was placed, and that he feltke the suspicions recklessly thrown him in the heat of excitement follow the attempt upon the lifn of the I'r dent. He had neither the hope, expectal tion nor desire to take an ofiice to wiuci he felt that neither a majority of t' people nor of his own party wished him to till.

What passed between the Vice President and Secretary of State during their frequent interviews at the residence of Senator Jones is of course not known. But the situation at Albany and Senator Coirkling's quarrel with the Adrninistra tion were among the topics diseased.

It wo not timed' to allow Gen. Arthur to gt; back to New York, nor had the ex Senator the, remotest expectation cf meeting or conferring with the 'Vice President here.
