"Sor Back Hon. PIERRE SuuLE
the distinguished leader Of the l0l pu'
rifiefs who recently assembled at Odd
Fellows Hall, New Orleans, to rerener-
ate aud remodel the Democracy Of ,l,a,
city, has been "sot back two years bv
the olEer side Of his party which proved
Il " leetle" too much for him. The Illus
trious ex-senator when he found he

late Democratic State Convention, was
politely Informed that that body could
proceed with its deliberations without
his assistance, whereupon the diScom-

with a very large-sized flea in his ear
His position with his party now, and the
circumstances which led to it, reminds US
Of All anecdote ofan over-eager youth who
was "sot back 1.-TWO years by his dignihed
PARENT. The old gentleman, so the story
ran, made ita rule never to allow his
boys to come to the table with the old
folks, until they were seventeen years old.
He had a boy wh"m a neighbor who
was aware of the fathers rule, hap
pened to see sitting at a side table !;
knowing, however, that the boy was
more than seventeen, he inquired Of the
lad how it happened that he was still pre-
vented from going to the table. "Why,'
answered he, when WAS seventeen, faith
er let me come, but was, 50 hungry and
IN such q hurry to help myself, that I
stood up and reached 50 far that a sad

A meeting OF the German clllZens OF

of Luuisia and Lpvee streets on Friday
night. 1t MAS largely attended and hat
m"uious. The meeting was addressed
III English Ivy different speakers, and in
German by DR.. kns>vaJIy, and Others
The tone and tendency Of the meeting
wa, that Of a strong friendship for and
a o"sire /" support The American party.
Without laying down anything like a
party platform, they gave their voice for
the American party, AS the par y which
had brnefitled them far more than any
other that ever held sway III the city,
The reduction Of the public debt-,he
decrease in taxation on real estate-the
improvement Of the city in its streets.
roads, bridges, bitches. and hampshire
general efficiency Of the poIice-,he fair
and impartial administration Of Justice
by American magistrates in power
these and other distinguishing features
Of the American rule in New Orleans,
were the motives which induced the SEN
sihIe and intelligent Germans of the
Third District to meet and declare for
the American party. We hope to see
the party receive similar weII~mcritcd
compliments from the G"rmal> in other
parts Of the CITY, Crescent Of Mondoy.
There is nothing very strange in this
statement. We have been told often by
foreigners, in New Orleans, that The
American party was the only party that
had ever benefited them, and that they
would always support it. That while
they supported Democracy, they were
treated as mere tools and made to do
the dirty work of the party without be-
ing in the slightest DEGREE benefited
thereby. The American party promised
them nothing in the way Of office, but
reduced their taxes, extended their priyi-
leges, protected their persons aud prop.
erty, and that was all they waited.
W. have no doubt that there will be
more meetings il the city where foreign.
.ers WILDE found endorsing the Ameri-
can party and promising to sustain it.
