Washington, March 13—Noon—
The delivery, at New Orleans, of U.
S. soldiers charged with murder, to
Col. Boynton, who is the Nicholls
Chief of Police, excites considerable
comment here. Gen. Augur had no
orders from here relative to the dis-position
of these soldiers, and it is
presumed acted on his own respon-sibility.
It is reported that ex-Gov. Waken
becomes Collector of Customs at
Charleston, S. C. Persons holding
important postoftices seem to have
an idea that their services will soon
be disposed with.
Senator Bruce, ot Mississippi, sug-gested
to the President, who granted
him an interview to-day, that the
best way out of complications in
Louisiana and South Carolina was a
new election m those States. Mr.
Bruce expressed his approval of the
new policy in regard to Southern
matters, and his belief that it would
be for the best interests of the col-ored
people of the South, if they, as.
a race, can he removed from the po-sition
which they now occupy of
sole antagonism to the property-holders
and intelligence of that sec-tion,
brought about by the machina-tions
of carpet-baggers.
Secretary Thompson took charge
of the Navy Department to-day,
and all the new Secretaries are
now regularly installed.
' Stone will he re-nominated as Dis-trict
Attorney for South Carolina.
The President desired to send him in
again in preference to his predeces-sor.
South Carolina Republicans
arc not earnest in their opposition.
In the senate Mr. Morton submit-ted
an order to return to the West-ern
Union Telegraph Company the
telegrams recently examined by the
committee on privileges and elec-tions,
hut it was laid over at the re-quest
of senator Mitchell.
The senate then, at 10:50, took a
recess until 1:30 p. m., to await nom-inations
font the President.
Washington, March 13—Evening
—Gen. Babcock to-day took charge
ot the 5th Lighthouse district, with
rank as Major of engineers.
A special to the New York papers
says a number of informal caucnsses
have been Held by the Southern re-publicans
during the past day or
two, and they have, with but few
exceptions, expressed a determina-tion
to do everything in their power
to prevent the recognition and sue-cess
of the Nicholls and Hampton
governments. Should they fail in
this, as is now believed to be proba-ble,
they will, or at least they say
they will, change the official com-plexion
of the upper house of con-gress
by voting against the admis-sion
of Mr. Kellogg from Louisiana
and Mr. Corbin from South Carolina.
Advices have been received from
Toledo that upwards of 20,000 ordi-nary,
and about five hundred regis-tered
letters were destroyed by the
burning of the postal car attached
to the train, No. 4, on the Buffalo <fc
Chicago railroad, leaving Chica-go,
8:50 on the 8th. The train colli-ded
with a freight train near
Sedan, Indiana, the shock up-setting
the stove and burning the
car and contents. The registered
mail lost must have been very valua-ble,
as the train leaving usually
brings the bankers remittances of
bonds and other collaterals, besides
many costly articles sent registered,
and for which no refund can be ob-tamed.
Nominations—Lot. M. Morrill, col-lector
of customs for the district of
Portland and Falmouth, Maine;
Wm. Stone, attorney for South Car-olina
; Asa O. Aldis, of Vermont,
Jas. B. Howell, ot Iowa and Clange
Ferris, of New York, to be Southern
claims commissioners.
Postmasters—Wm. It. Holloway,
Indianapolis, Indiana; Niblack,
Terre Haute, Geo. Pfleger, . South
Bend; Jno. B. Dowd, Rockville, and
Henry Davis, Bedford, all in Indiana.
Evarts will not give up his law
practice. Among the rumors afloat
is one that George Wm. Curtis will
relieve Pierrepoint as Minister to
England. Ex-Secretary Bristow
will take Caleb Cushing's place
at Madrid. Marshall Jewell will
be returned to St. Petersburg.
Bill Grosvenor, of Missouri, will he
Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Keafler or Lew Wallace will he sent
to Mexico. Senator Logan will go
to Brazil. Dr. C. C. Cox wants to
be Commissioner of Education. Sec-rotary
Schurz will recommend the
transfer of the Indian Burea to the
War Department. The republican
caucus at Harrisburg, Penn., to-day
nominated Den Cameron for senator,
aud endorsed Hayes’ policy.
tion. Owing to the unfavorable
weather the vote is light. At Con-cord,
in wards 4 and 5, Mr. Briggs,
republican, for congress, seems con-slderably
behind his ticket, and Mr.
Holloway, democrat, is probably
ahead. At Nassau the democrats
will probably elect a mayor and al-dermen.
At Portsmouth the repub-licans
look tor an increased majority.
At Claremont Mr. Kent, democrat,
tor congress, is ahead of bis ticket,
also at, Keene. Nothing definite has
been heard from Frank Jones’ dis-trict,
except at Dover, which reports
him as not running so far ahead of
his ticket as at previous elections.

Tbe New Hampshire Election*.
Boston, March 13.—Reports from
the principal towns in New Hamp-shire
at one o’clock indicate nothing
decisive as to the result of the elec-
Sugeeited by the Recent; Central
Railroad-Imbroglio,
An eminent Christian, with large
experience in the United States Cua-tom
House, combined with a New
Jersey politician, whose chiofeat glo-ry
is to part his name in the middle,
and a New York capitalist who sends
men down to the sea in ships. The
motive of this great alliance is to
combine enlightenment of the pro-vincials
with personal gain. With
great intellects to resolve is to put in
execution. So straightway this emi-nent
Christian, duly fortified with
the possession of advanced views on
Temperance and the guardianship of
the New Jersey statesman, hied him
away from the scene of his former
exploits to the distant wilds of Texas,
proposing to instruct the benighted
in morals, and at the same time turn
an honest penny by gobbling a rail-road.
The man of the sea approach-ed
his victim from the salt water,
whilst the eminent moralist obscured
his philanthropic purposes by man-ners
most childlike and bland (whilst
riding on special trains at the ex-pense
of the intended victim) and
zealous denunciations of alcoholic
drinks as the source of all evil and
the sole instigator of frauds (except
frauds upon the revenue, and except
breaches of trust in presidents of
corporations, who sacrifice the inter-ests
ol a part of the stockholders to
the benefit of others.)
After much pleasure riding, these
disciples of a “New Deal” besought
the courts to turn over the victim to
their keeping, as the courts must be
supposed to know judicially, the su-perior
fitness of this eminent trio to
administer, with purity and success
(to themselves) great interests invol-ving
the property and earnings of
many people. Had not this exploit
been planned in high moral atmos-phere,
and by eminent metropolitan
financiers?
Then who in Texas shall forbid
these great men their desires?
Surely none dare meet these large
operators in any financial struggle.
They hav.e but to claim the prize
and take it—to ask, and 650 miles of
railroad, with all its franchises and
equipments, will be promptly given.
But innocence (which in no sense is
true) is often oppressed in this cruel
world. Eminent virtue is not al-ways
rewarded in its reaches after
railroads. Temperance speeches do
not always destroy the demand tor
alcoholic drinks.
These unpleasant facts have ex-isted
since the formation of society
and men are not surprised thereat.
But who is not surprised when a
New York bear succumbs to the
financial thrusts ot a Texan ? Such
is the fact. The pious schemes of
these godly New Yorkers have been
frustrated by the machicatioDs of
the sinful who sinned once in own-ing
that which the godly courted,
and sinned yet more in abasing those
who had hitherto sought so success-fully
to harness the heifer of godli-ness
to the plough of mammon.
When the eminent Christian shall
have refreshed himself from the fa-tigues
of his journey and exaspera-tion
of his defeat, this unfeeling con-duct
on the part of Texas wiu tur-nish
another pointed argument in
favor of the total depravity of all
men, and the Union League Club
can be again refreshed with state-ments
of the unyielding malignity
with which the rebels resist, not
only the benevolent, moral teachings
of “Chi-istian statesmen,” but even
object to schemes that if consumma-ted
wonld enrich these Christian
statesmen at the expense of the less
favored Texan.
Alas, again has ‘he who went forth
for wool come back shorn.
