chant itt New Orleans directing him not

Sir: tiince you were instructed to
dearer no registered letters reaching
your o3ee addxfcssd to M A Dauphin,
and to redeem no money orders payable
to him. be has directed in an advertise
ment inserted .In certain newspapers
that all registered letters intended for
film and concerning .the Louisiana
fttate lottery-Company, be addressed
to the New Orleans National Bank at
- New Orleans, aad that all money orders
sent to yonr office for bis . benefit and
: concerning the business of said lottery
company be made payable to said bank.
I am in possession of trust worthy : in
formation that this bank has been and
still is receiving through your office
registered letters and money orders for
the benefit of M A Dauphin in pursu
ance of his published directions. This
is a defiant scheme on the part of M A
Dauphin and the New Orleans National
Bank to evade the orders which have
been addressed to you by. the statutes
of the United States, intended to pro
tect the malls and the public against
a 'business which Us vicious and im
moral and which in the main preys
upon the ignorant and credulous. This
.bank cannot be peimttted to stand in
'the shoes of M A Dauphin and thus
enable him toaccomplish by indirection
what he is not allowed to do directly.
Hereafter, therefore, you will deliver
to the New Orleaas National Bank no
registered letters and redeem no money
orders payable to it, but deal with the
same - as directed by the order of the
Department of November 23. 1879. . -This
order will be revoked whenever
the bank gives satisfactory evidence
that it has abandoned' the above
scheme. ' ' -

Btchjtiexp Springs, N Y, Sept 19.
The city Is crowded with delegates and
politicians in attendance upon the Re
publican State Convention, which was
called to order at 22 m to-day by John
F Smyth chairman of tthe State com
mittee. Senator -vG Lapham was
chosen temporary chairman, . and - ad
dressed the convention. All . contests
of delegates were settled amicably, the
stalwarts giving way to the half-breeds
in every instance. After appointing
two vice presidents and two secretaries
from each judicial district, and the reg
ular committees on permanent organi
zation, resolutions, etc, the convention
took a recess nntil three o'clock.
-At three o'clock the oonveation re
assembled and United States Senator
Miller waa-eiected permanent president.
He addressed the convention at iengtn.
Every allusion to the protective policy
of the rtepublican party and to presi
dent Arthur was loudly cheered. The
following ticket was nominated: For
Secretary of State, - Joseph B Carr;
Comptroller, Ira .A Davenport; Treas
urer. Piinty T Sexton ; State Engineer,.
Silas Seymour;. Attorney General, Les
lie W RusselL . .
The first two nominations were made
by acclamation, and tbe others,withthe
exception of that of Sexton, were b al
lotted for and subsequently made unan
imous. -
1 There was a spirited contest over
Sexton's nomination, which was made
and supported by the stalwarts, while
the hall-breeds named and supported
Ethan Allen. The contest on these
nominations was close and exciting
from the start. When Albert Daggett,
of Brooklyn, arose and cast 45- of the
Kings couuty votes for Allen, and was
followed by Henry Tremain throwing
79 of the New York county votes the
same way, the excitement became very
great, as these ballots placed Allen far
ahead. The country delegates became
alarmed at the unanimity of the New
Yoik and Kings couuty menuspecting
a jub, and broke for Sexton, who was
elected by 280 to 215 for Allen.
: The platform rejoices in the wisdom
of tbe administration, and commends
civil service reform. Tbe tariff plank
is as fellows: We favor a system of
tariff laws under which, while revenue
for the government is provided. Araer
ican producers are justly protected,
American labor elevated, and home
markets secured to home products for
the advantage alike of the producer and

A Remarkable Case. , tv ' ',. ' "
;:J5trange things are always happening,
and a medical gentleman ol this city
tells us of a remarkable case , that came
under bis observation last week. A
little child In an adjoining county some
time ago swallowed a grain of oats
without itsparents" knowledge. Shortly
afterwards the child was taken' sick
and notwithstanding the attention of
the . physicians it continued to grow
worse and-declined in health rapidly
A few days since a painful sore spot
came on the child's aide, and shortly
after it was noticed the child's parents
were surprised to see a grain of oats
come out through the sore place. Since
the oats came out of the side of the
child, its health at once began to im
prove, and the inference is that its Ill
ness was caused by the grain, f This is a"
case for cogitation by the medical fra
ternity. - ---- t-v -.- : .

r Some anticipated changes . in the af

road, of an important character, are to
be made by tbe new managers. Mr Geo
E Scott, one the new managers, gives a
reporter of tbe New Vork World au
thority to say that the affairs of the
road are to be put in a more satisfac
tory condition. The amount of the
floating debt is 9 1,025.000. and it is hoped
that by retrenchment this will be paid
off in two years. - Among other items
there Is to be a saving of 97&0OO In of
fice expenses and it is intended to abol
ish the New York office. The company
holds valuable securities of auxiliary
and other corporations for a large sum
and it will receive over 9300.000 from
those companies in a year. A meeting
of the new directors is soon to be held.

all kinds of power loom shuttles, are
meeting with the . most gratifying suc

of the finest dogwood and persimmon
timber ia the country, and cutting their

that none but the finest selected wood
will be used In making the shuttles.

Discovery ef a Mew Cosset.
The new comet has been seen -from
the great observatories North and West,
and thhrmnch can be said at present:
Owing to its slow motion its precise
path cannot yet be predicted, but it is a
great distance from the' sun and earth;
will reach its nearest point to the sun
about March 15 of next year, and then
be about 70.000,000 miles from that lu
minary. . These particulars, ' coupled
with the fact that it is now visible and
shows a star like point at its centre
make the probability very great that we :
hall have this winter a notable object '
in the heavens. ; To one, familiar with
this subject, these points call to mind
the first observations of Donatio comet
of ' 1858, which was - dicovered f ourH
months before its perihelion, was only
visible to tne naked eye two months
after discovery,and only , then present
ed traces of a tau. Its nearest approach'!
to the sun. was . 44000,000 miles, and it
was distant 240.000VDOO miles when dis
covered. --st-T"

as the "Great Southern Dispatch," is
now. being organized by the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia, Norfolk
& Western, Shenandoah. Valley - West
ern Maryland, Cumberland Valley and
Pennsylvania Railroads, to run between
all Southern and Southwestern points
and Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York. No announcement has yet been
made, says the Baltimore San, of. the
time' of inaugurating the line, but it
will doubtless be ready for business
within tbe next thirty days. ; The line
will start with 600 cars provided by the
several companies in proportion to their
interested mileage. This is the first
through Southern freight line ever es
tablished with Baltimore, and in that re-'
spect it is to the business community
the most Important railroad movement
contemplated for some time, The East
and West fast freight lines of Pennsyl
vania. Baltimore and Ohio and the other
trunk lines are conspicuously known
everywhere and their business is enor
mous. The main stem of the Great
Southern Dispatch, will be 14 00 miles
long, from New York to Chattanooga,
or Selma, but its cars will be sent to all
points east of New York and over the
South and Southwest. . .... .

good pastime to sit down and calculate
how many yards of.- braid It takes to

many new styles and designsjsome very

not every woman who can successfully

that in the excitement incident to fash

that the season for the' white dresses is
drawing to an end, it is curious to nobs
the number of conquests they have won

Just back. from Paris say that reception

Give rxisn a Stamp to Write to Ills Ma.
' The very latest fraud out is the' pos
tage stamp rackety and it is being work
ed in, this, city, having been " in
troduced by a sharp young America
yesterday morning "You . see, .they
work it this way" said a citizen in ex
plaining it to the reporter. This morn
ing while -1 was at breakfast, my wife
answered a knock at the doer and found
a boy standing on the steps. The boy
raised his cap and in a most polite tone,
informed- my wife ? that ' he was from
Louisville, but had been to Baltimore
and was now working 'his way back.
He wanted to write a letter to hia mother
and begged for a postage stamp. My
wife was favorably impressed with' his
honest face and came back to ask a
stamp from me. 1 went to -the door
and told the boy that I was going up
town and if he would go with me, I
would get the stamp and see him mail
his letter. . Good morning,' was all he
said as he turned on his heel and put
out of the yard. ! I watched him as far
as I could, and he stopped at every house
within sight. It's a good business. Sup
pose he collects 100 stamps In a day.
which, no doubt, he does; there's 93 in
his pocket. -Don't you see it?" On in
quiring around we found that the' honest-little
boy from Louisville . who
wanted . to write to his mother, had
been at a number of houses where bis
plea was successful. If he uses them all !
for the purpose for which be said he :
wanted them, his poor ma will be over
whelmed with correspondence. It Js
certainly "the latest," and our people
would do well to keep a lookout for the
postage stamp boy. He's a sharp one.
