LOUISVILLE, $40, P. M.-The Eastern lines will
probably be open till sunrise.

After receiving this dispatch, and knowing his

kept open for election news until furthe T orders.
The request was transmitted to the operator at
Louisville when to our greatsurprise he refusedto

den District made display rejecting great credit
upon that end of the city.
The above were all the Clubs we noted. The
Bell Lathers, Kentucky Guards, Metropolitan Club,
Bell Rangers and Agiers Bell Clappers did not
turn ont, as they were expected to do. Many
notable features in the procession we have doubt
less omitted in our hasty sketch: for the process

could not see everything It is conceded by all
that it was the finest and most novel political dis
play ever made in this city.

Which occurred, was the only thing that marred
the pleasure of any part of the vast procession.
A spark from torch ignited the rockets and other
fireworks in the cart which accompanied the
Rough and Ready club, at Orleans street. The
explosion was terrific. Henry Deikman, driver of
the cart was SO badly injured that he had to be
sent to the Charity Hospital. Mr.. Charles W. Gull
bertson Marshal Of the Third District clubs, mar
rowly escaped mortal injury by the same accident.
The carthorse running away, ran the cart against
Culbertson's horse, knocking that horse down and
running over him, and throwing Mr. g. heels over
head some ten feet off, into gutter.

TALK ON CHANGE.


1t was not very active on the flags yesterday.
Carondelet street has not yet recovered from the
lethargy of summer. Though we daily observe
new faces, or old faces anew, somewhat renovated
by short residence in the hyperborean regions,
yet the general activity of the season is not OBJ
seryable. On the great boulevard, Canal it was
observed to be particularly dull and inanimate.
Passing through Royal and Chartres streets, there
were goodly throngs Of people, but large part
did not appear to be engaged in any particular bu-
siness, and with quite limited sales of cotton, say
about 5000 bales the movements Of yesterday gave
no Indication Of the usual autumnal briskness.
The effects of the recent storm often broaehed
and commented on. The Bears in cotton do not
seem inclined to give credence to more than one
half Of the reportsin fact, they believe that the
damage has been greatly exaggerated; while on
the other hand, factors the Bull side, seemed to
be armed with documents, letters and verbal in
formation that the damage to the opening cotton
and bolls opened will be fully confirmed and prove
as large as the first accounts received. In the
meantime, and the strength of the storm, factors
obtained another advance yesterday, encouraged
by an increased demand for exchange; the opera
tions in which are fully detailed under financial
head.
There has been good deal of talk about gunny
bagging recently. The Boston Shipping List Of the
29tll ult. gives an account Of twenty-five vessels
being en- route from Calcutta for the United States,
with 232, l4o pieces of cloth. 1t is believed the
Shipping List has ieopardized its heretofore high
standing for correctness, and led some dealers
astray. For it ia believed that nine of the vessels
with $4,000 pieces, have arrived and been over
looked by the List. At all events, the table and
figures below of the stock of gunny cloth shipped
from Calcutta from the LIST January last to the Sth
August give the just AMI available quantity this
season, or rather autumn
