THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION, Visitors Should Not Go Before the Last of the Month—Curious Sights. Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. New Orleans. La., Dec. 28.—Thanks for the evening fireside! I know now, as I never knew before, the reason for the difference in the cultivation of mind, as it is manifest between the people of the North and our brethren of the South. Thanks, again, for the evening fireside and the cold, howling winds without, for these are the harbingers of good will and of a higher moral culture. The visitor from Indiana to the exposition at this time will almost invariably be disappointed. He has had his expectations raised to too high a pitch by false advertising. and is compelled to lower his standard of expectancy on his arrival here. The opening day was postponed from the 1st of this month to the 16th, and in justice to all parties, it should have been postponed to the 1st of January. 'The exposition is just now assuming shape and the visitor can make a pretty good guess how it will look on the 1st of February. Much work has already been done and mauy things are now to be seen already in their places, but it is also true that many a case in yet unopened and considerable apace is yet to be occupied. The disposition on the part of reporters for the papers here seems to have been to overrate things, and our people at the North, reading these papers or quotations from them, have been misled. Notably, as it appears to me, was this the case in the report of the opening day, as I saw it in the issue of the Times-Democrat of the 17th. The writer of that, report must be a poet, in dead, and a dreamer of the first order, as I went oat on the next day and made special search' for the paradise which he so graphically discribed, and I confess that I could not find it on these grounds. When I get old and come to my second childhood and the love ©f spring poetry returns, then I will search for the issue of the New Orlean’s city papers of the 17th of December, 1884, and read the report of the opening day. I would advise your readers who desire visiting New Orleans this winter, and intend making the exposition a special feature of that visit, not to come till late in January, as all material by that time will be in place, and the visitor will not be disappointed. There are many things here of interest to the traveler outside of the exposition show. The transition from the snow-bound regions of the Northern States to this land of roses and perpetual green is of itself a very curious thing. It is amusing to notice the new-comer. He sees so many things, and is just on the point of seeing something more wonderful even* minute. On Friday morning last a dozen or more schoolmarms were in the street-car, on their way out to the exposition. I knew they were teachers, for nobody else in tho world acts like a schoolmarm. They saw everything on both sides of the street. The live oaks, the magnolias, the roses, the beautiful spring dress which the gardens and lawns presented: tho peculiar style of houses, with the door bell on the gate; the high stone, or brick wall, ornamented on top with bits of glass ana broken bottles set in mortar, to guard against the omnipresent small boy: the great tanks in the rear of every house, used for cisterns, which furnish drinking water. These, and many other things did not escape their critical eyes; but when we passed an orange garden, and saw the golden fruit hanging rich and ripe on the trees, their enthusiasm knew no bounds. They stood up, and turned around, and looked out of the windows, and got on seats on their knees, and said, “Oh, my! did you ever?” and chattered and fussed like little children. This is a quiet day at the exposition grounds, for the street-car drivers are on a strike, and the steamboat is the only passage from the city. Quite a number of Indiana teachers visited this department on yesterday. The educational departments are busy, but none have completed their work yet, and some of them have nothing as yet on the space assigned them. The educational department of Indiana is a most pleasant location, but may yet be cramped for room. On the north of us is the Ohio educational department and on the south is Nebraska. Neither of these departments has placed any material on exhibition and will not be read rto do so for a week yet at least. The question is often asked if this exposition will be as good as the centennial at Philadelphia! The answer to this question invariably is no, and it is not intended to be as good. Some States are making a better exhibit here than they made there, but taken as a whole there is no equality of comparison. Still it is worth coming to see, and it is hoped that it may be the means of cultivating a more intimate acquaintance with this people. I used to hate the South, but I see here no disposition of hate to the North. If they nave any malice toward us they wisely keen it to themselves, and seem only too glad to welcome us strangers and make of us friends. The real struggle of the South is against poverty and ignorance. and the coming of the people from the Northern States, with their money and enterprise, will develop the resources of this country, and make us a more prosperous Nation and a happier people.

TflfE CHICAGO SOCIALISTS. Militiamen Discussing tlie Situation—Communist Military Companies. Chicago Special, The red flag of the Anarchists has floated more frequently than usual in Chicago during the past few months. During the summer and fall it was flung to the breezo at many open air meetings of Socialists. Oommunits, Anarchists and nondescripts, either on the lake front, on Sunday afternoons, or by torchlight in Market aquare. On Thanksgiving Day the Socialists held a mass meeting on Market square, and at it3 close about 500 of them marched in procession about the city for several hours, bearing red flags and banners with various inflammatory appeals and mottoes on them, and hissed and groaned when they passed the houses of wealthy citizens. The proclamation by which the meeting was called was ironically worded, and was addressed to the wage workers, the unemployed and the tramps ‘’by the Committee ot the Grateful. The object was announced to be “to express our gratitude to our benevolent, generous and ‘Christian brothers who live in palaces and roll in wealth which our labor created, and of which we have been, robbed. ” There was no attempt to suppress tbo procession, and but little comment was made upon it at tho'tirne. Emboldened, probably, by non-interference the speakers at the socialistic meetings.have of late become more and more given to incendiary utterances. At th,e meeting held last Sunday all the speakers save one advocated the employment of force to secure their ends. It was aeciared that the city and country were on the 9ve ot one of the bloodiest revolutions ever known. These leaders have of late taken every opportunity to publicly burlesque, ridicule and denounce all existing institutions. These facts were discussed at a Christmas Eve girty given by cue of the companies of the First egimentof the Illinois National Guard, and it was suggested that in case the SocuUists should make a demonstration on Christmas similar to that', made by them on Thanksgiving Day, it would be an easy matter for them, if they were Inclined, to enter the armory and capture the arms. Finally it was agreed that it was possible that an outbreak might occur that night, and ten men volunteered to guard the building. turned out that no demonstration was naa.t>,> the idea of guarding the armory was ad'.ntoii hv Cm one 1 E. B. Knox, P In* intended to keep the matter quiet, but since it has been broached, Colonel Knox has admitted that he has made arrangements to have a regular detail at the armory to protect the arms and ammunition from any organized outbreak. He is also having the men drilled in the “streetriot tactics" prepared by an officer of the New York National Guard. Colonel Knox says that he has been informed that there are four companies of Socialists in the citv, all of them armed With breech loading rifles. The possibilities of ft* outbreak wore, therefore, anything but •tight With the number of unemployed people in the Uy, variously estimated all the way from 25,000

to 50,000. there was no telling to what dimensions a riot, once started, might grow. It is understood that similar precautions are to be taken at the other armories. It was also learned to-day that the police have been keeping secret watch upon the movements of the Socialists for some weeks past, and the detective department has been specially charged with discovering the members who belong to the armed companies, and tneir manner of drilling and the places where their arms and ammunition are stored. The number of the Socialists in the city is placed at about 18,000. There are two factions, the difference between them being that one cla*s thinks the time to set about killing rich men and officials has already come, while the other class thinks the time has not yet come and is willing to wait patiently for it The latter class generally has employment at fair wages, while the other is not so fortunate. Formerly the Socialists played quite an important part in the politics of tho city, but latterly they have withdrawn from politics as a party because, they say, they find the people want to be either Democrats or Republicans, and will not tolerate a third party. The Bohemian and German portions of the city are largely Socialistic in sentiment, and there are also quite a number of American, Irish and Scandinavian socialists. The most conspicuous of tho agitators are Samuel Fielden, August Spies, A. W. Herr, A. R. Parsons, G. M. Sloan and J. P. Duzy, August Spies is the editor of the ArbeiterZeitung, the socialistic daily paper of Chicago. He was asked whether the Socialists had ever proposed to capture the First Regiment armory, and replied: “I hardly think that any such plan was on foot. ” “Would you have known of it if it had been contemplated!” was asked. “I guess so,” he answered suggestively. “How many armed Socialists are there in Chicago?” “That lam not at liberty to state. Four years ago there wore over twelve hundred. This number has increased enormously. About five years ago the Socialists wished to parade the streets w ; ith arms, but were prohibited. They curried the matter to the courts, and it is now before the Supreme Court. The fact that they cannot as a body carry arms does not preclude them from having them as individuals.” “Have these companies of Socialists regular drills” "Most assuredly.” “At what place in the city?” “Tho detectives would give anything to know. I am not at liberty to say, hut tho idea of the Socialists going to destroy the armory by guns is nonsensical. Why, if I wanted to do that I could do it mvself.” “How?” “With two or three dynamite bombs.” socialist army supplied with those also?” “I ; simply repeat that I could destroy the armory with bombs to-night, and secretly, too. Again, it would not take two or three hundred men to capture the place. Why, we have men in our ranks who have served in four wars. Twenty-five of them could drive the First and Second regiments into the lake. But we don’t want to raze the armory to the ground. We may want the guns some time, however, and when we want them we will get them. ” “What is the idea of attacking the militia?” “Because the government supplies tliesp rich young fellows with all the arms and ammunition they want, while they refuse them to the poor. What is had by one should be possessed by the other, and if the authorities won’t give them to us we’ll take, them.” “Do you think you’ll need them soon?” “That I can’t say. It may not be for three or lour weeks, and it may be longer. Ido not look for anything but a few small riots this winter, but next summer startling things are liable to happen. Further than this I can say nothing.”

MR. RANDALL IN ALABAMA. Reception at Birmingham—A Visit to Coal Mines in the Vicinity. Birmtnohaw, Ala., Jan. 1. — Hon. Samuel J. Randall and party arrived here on a special train from Nashville at 8:30 o’clock this morning, escorted by Col. J. W. Sloss, CoL Enoch Ensley, and several other gentlemen. As the train pulled into town the whistles of the railroad locomotives and of the furnaces, foundries and machine shops saluted it with their best blasts, and the Birmingham artillery fired a number of guns. When the train stopped and Mr. Randall appeared, Mayor A. O. Lane stepped on the platform of the car and spoke a few appropriate words of welcome. Mr. Randall replied in a short speech, in which he said he had a great desire to see the city that ships iron into the district that he represents in Congress, and promised that no vote of his should ever be given toward enacting laws to prevent this people successfully competing with any country on the globe in converting raw material into marketable commodities. Congressman McAdoo followed in api casing speech, announcing himself as from tho State which for over a quarter of a century had been faithful to Democratic principles. The party were then driven in carriages to the Florence Hotel, which had been decorated for their entertainment. After the lapse of about an hour, during which time the party breakfasted, they left for the Pratt mines, six miles from the city, on a special train provided by the Pratt CoaJ and Iron Company. About forty citizens accompanied them. At the mines, after a happy introduction by Colonel Ensley. of the Pratt company, Messrs*. Randall and McAdoo made short speeches to a large number of miners. The audience also included a band of school children, with banners and devices. S. W. Johns, mining engineer for the company, followed, welcoming the visitors on behalf of the workingmen. The party then visited the mines, which comprise a shaft, tw* slopes and a drift; the visitors went into the shaft and saw the process of digging coal upon as thoroughly scientific a plan as is known in the world. Mr. Randall wore in the mine, instead of his silk hat, a felt hat, which he had brought with him, and a miners’ lamp attached. The party reached the city again at 3:30 o’clock, and spout tho afternoon visiting places of interest. Mr. and Mrs. Randall, assisted hv Congressman-elect John M. Martin and Mrs. Martin, and about a dozen ladies of this city and Tuscaloosa, received callers at the Florence Hotel to-night. At the opening of tho reception the members of the Jefferson Democratic and Randall club, called in a body and presented addresses printed on white satin. Mr. Randall replied appropriately. At 9 o’clock the visitors went to the theater and saw Carrie Swain and troupe in the latter half of the “Little Joker.” To-morrow, Messrs. Randall and McAdoo will visit tho furnaces and iron ore mines within a few miles of the city ou the Louisville & Nashville and Birmingham mineral railroads. There is every assurance that the banquet to-morrow night at the Florence Hotel will be an event long to be romembered in the social history of Birmingham. Disappearance of an Army Paymaster. Savannah. Ga., Jan. I.—Paymaster-general Rochester, of the army, was notified to-day of the disappearance from Savannah of United States Army Paymaster W. H. Smyth, a son of John F. Smyth. ex-Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, and one of the leaders of the stalwart faction of that State. Paymaster Svmth was transferred from the station in Arizona to Savannah last February. Becoming a favorite with the young men of the city, ho soon drifted into extravagant habits. Last Monday morning he drew $5,000 of government money from a local hank, packed his effects, and left liia boarding house in a carriage, since when he has not been seen. It. is reported that Smyth lost SSOO on the presidential election and other sums at the gaming-table. His friends think that the inability to make good his losses preyed on his mind until it has become temporarily unsettled.

IT. A. Bradley, on “Marie Antoinette.” The lectures of this popular course have all been of rare excellence and we are sure those who are present to-night will hear one of the best. Special Church Services. The New- Year's prayer-meeting held in the Second Presbyterian Church, yesterday morning. was largely attended, and a deep and earnest spirit pervaded it The meeting this morning will be led by the Rev. J. R. Mitchell, and all are cordially invited. Subject: “Love for Souls.” Services preparatory to communion will be held in the lecture room of the church this evening. It is desirable that all the members of the church and congregation be present. Fun ut the Kinks. At the College-avenue rink, last night, there was a very large crowd, and Manager Bannister was presented with a fine gold badge as a tribute to his popularity. The three-mile race between Mr. Alexander (on a bicycle) and Mr. Spain (on

skates) was won by the latter. The Meridian rink had very large patronage yesterday afternoon and evening. To-night the second game of polo between the Meridian and Indianapolis clubs will take place, and to morrow afternoon there will be a children’s costume carnival. The fancy dress carnival at the Wigwam Rink, on Wednesday evening, was one of the most successful affairs of the kind ever given here. The patronage continues to be very good, THE OBSERVANCE OF NEW YEAR’S. The Day Given Over to Quiet Enjoyment and Social Amenities. The observance of New Year’s day in Indianapolis was in the conventional form, and not especially noteworthy. Business down town was suspended, nearly all the public and private offices were closed, and clerks and employes alike devoted themselves to such amusements as their tastes and means suggested. The skating rinks were generously patronized, the theaters had a large attendance both afternoon and ovening, and the crowds at the Museum during the day were larger than the place could comfortably accommodate. All the leading hotels served elaborate dinners, paying especial attention to artistic menu bills and floral decorations. The custom of calling was not so generally observed as in preceding years. At about twentyfive residences were formal receptions held, but most of these were very elegant and fashionable in all their appointments. The parlors were darkened, gas lighted, and the ladies generally received in full dress. Except in a few instances the gentlemen who called did not attempt to visit a large number of houses, as is generally done, but contented themselves with paying their respects only at those places where they had particular friends. At a number of places the receptions ended last night with dancing parties, for which only a limited number of invitations were given out. Down town during the evening and night the streets were comparatively quiet—as compared to the night before. The saloons all did a flourishing business, and a number of revelers were corralled by the police and locked up for drunkenness, but there were no particularly serious infringements of the law. Altogether, the day passed off quietly and peaceably.

ONE OF B. D. BROWN’S TRANSACTIONS. How lie Got the Best of William 11. English and the First National. % Another of the transactions -of Mr. B. D. Brown, in which he got the best of William H. English and the Fipst National Bank, has been brought to light, and although Mr. English, Mr. Mutchener and Mr. Baker, of Brown’s local management, refused positively to talk about,the affair last night, the facts are about as follow's: Brown had obtained $3,000 from the bank on certificates calling for 3,800 bushels of corn, and three days before his failure communicated with one of his lieutenants here to obtain those certificates at all hazards, and to pay the amount by a draft on his individual account in Chicago. The agent to whom the mission was intrusted went to Mr. English, and, tendering the draft, called for the certificates. Mr. English refused at first to surrender them, but finally did so. The draft was forwarded to Chicago, but the day following Brown failed, and it was returned unpaid. Mr. English then saw that he had nothing to show for his $3,000, __ and called on Brown’s managers here return the certificates, which they declined to do, as the grain was sold and shipped away as soon as the certificates were withdrawn from the bank. Mr. English threatened all sorts of vengeance, but was unable to remedy matters any, and had to accept the situation. He holds the unpaid draft as a debt against Brown, and may receive part of it when his affairs are straightened up. Had the certificates been returned. Brown would have been liable .to crimmal prosecution for' obtaining money on certificates calling for grain not in his possession. ■ ■ - —— l ■■ Real Estate Transfers. > Instruments filed for record in the Recorder’s office of Marion county, Indiana, for the twenty-four hours ending at 5 o’clock p.

Last evening S. A. D. James, who was arrested for the assault upon Harry Dot and Harry Quay, the Massachusetts avenue Chinamen, had a ••arrant issued for Timothy McMahon, a one armed Bee Vme employe, as the party wanted. To-day, "under examination, he admitted the assault, but, according to his Story, he had nothing to do with the original attack upon the Chinamen, that, being led by James Shehan, Jesse James, as he is known, and two strangers, but upon passing the laundry they assaulted him and he knocked one of them down and struck the other with a bottle which he was carrying. Strango to say, the Chinaman insists that it was James, and not McMahon, who committed the assault, and the case has gone over until tn-morrow for additional evidence. —[Indianapolis News. Evidently, by some overeight, the diagram that was intended to go with this has been omitted. The readers of the News wi,ll find comfort in the fact that “the case has gone over until tomorrow.” ■ i ' i—— i Federal Court Business Postponed. All cases on the docket for trial in thp federal court during January have been postponed, as Judge Woods’s presence will be-required at New Albany during the next week, and the remainder of the month he will be at Chicago. The jury will be dismissed until February.
