town, held meeting on Saturday night at odd
Fellows Hail. large crowds of other Bell and Ev
erett men attending and filing the large saloon.
The Hon. Randell Hunt could not speak, in oonse
quence of severe chill. The meeting, however,
was addressed at length and in most forcible and
eloquent manner by the Hon. John q. King, of ST.
Landry.
This gentleman more than met the expectations
which had been aroused by the report of how he
talked and what he said at the meeting on Canal
street few nights previously. His hearers were
fully satisfied and applauded hiia much. After he
concluded several other gentlemen made brief
speeches, and then the meeting adjourned The
Constitution Club then reformed into procession,
and with their music marched around in their usual
fine style, making the welkinrng with their shouts
for Bell and Everett, the Constitution, and the
Union Look out for this club tonight.
| DOUGLAS TuRNeur.-The Douglas and johnson
| Clubs had a grand rally and procession on Satur-
day night. They were out in great force and made
their usual brilliant display. OF course, all the
town was out, and at many places along the route
there were scenes of high enthusiasm between the
processionsts and their friends on the street and
fair friends on the galleries. The Douglas men
were proud of their display ofstrength, as they
had proper reason to be.

IHE ELECTION ro.MoRroM


The Mayor and Chief Of Police have made every
proper and possible arrangement for the preserya-
ton Of order at the polls during the election to-
morrow. They have culled the police force of its
best men, and detailed four to attend each voting
precinct throughout the city during the day.
The City Telegraph has also been prepared with
a view to furnish extra facilities in communicating
news to headquarters at the City Hall. The Su-
perintendent Mr.. Hebert, and his able and indus
trious Assistant, Mr.. Mingle, last week stretched
an extra wire to the Treme police station (near
the Parish Prison) and fixed police telegraph
apparatus there they have also wound up all the
striking weights in the belfres recharged the bat
teries, and put everything in applepie order; not
only because it would be necessary anyhow, but
in order to render assurance doubiy that there
shall be no mistake or let-down, should the tele-
graph be called in reqnisiton during the day of the
Presidential election.
The chief arrangement will be the detailing of
officers to the different parts of the city, whose
exclusive duty it shall be to attend the irealarm
signal boxes on the streets, and by means of Sc
ries of signals Tin which they are to be instructed
today to signal to the central Office should there
be disturbance at any voting precinct beyond
the power Of the officers there stationed to quell
Ihe central once Ieiegrapnera. Messrs. OeHSie
Shepherd and Winter, will change their ordinary
routine and be together during the day, 50 thai
messages from different quarters and answers may
be received and sent without delay.
Mayor Monroe, Chief McClelland and Superin-
tendent Hebert deserve much credit for thus com
bining to effect all that be effected by the po-
lice and the telegraph in case of necessity. We
have no reason TO believe that any serious dis
turbance will take place anywhere, but recent ex-
hibitions of partisan bitterness satisfy us that some
ugly scenes may be looked for, unless the picked
police stand well to their duty, and are backed in
so doing by the sensible and law-abiding men Of
the different parties.
The Mayor and Chief Of Police, during the cleo
ton, will remain at the City Hall; the Lieutenants
OF tile four Districts will be each at his Office, with
reserve of men ready for instant service; should
disturbance be telegraphed to the City Hall, ths
Lieutenant of the District in which the disturbance
occurs will be telegraphed to turn out with his mel
and alay the trouble speedily as possible
These preparations are wise and proper; still w
hope there will be no occasion for their exercise

The iremen had an uncomfortably brisk time of
it yesterday afternoon. Alta quarter to l o'clock
the bells sent them to the foot of julia street. where
fire had broken out amid some bales of cotton
lying on the steamship landing. Some dozen bales
or SO were destroyed and few more damaged.
We did not bear who the cotton belonged to. The
fremen had hardly got home lit was about 2
o,clock) when the bells again sent them flying.
This time the FIRE was in the fured nansai of the
ship Harriet, lying at the foot of Erato street-sup
posed TO have caught from the sparks Of passing
steamer, or the pipe ola careless sailor.
The fire was put out before much damage was
done. AT o'clock, just as the firemeu were
getting home again, a third alarm sounded and
they had 10 return 10 their first scene Of action
where the fire in the cotton had broken ant again
This time they gave the cotton an everlasting sous

that every reader of the Crescent this morning
should turn to the various and lucid advertisements
of our friends Messrs f. & 4. Piffet, of the great
fancy and varieties store, 1888 Canal street. They
have in store as magnificent and varied stock of
faneiful merchandise ever was collected into
one lot from the four quarters of the habtabe and
uninhabtabe globe, and we think we have reason
to question if said stock would be larger and more
complete, if the resources of two or three more
planets were added SO that the Messrs. P. could
range through their spheres as well as Earth's in
hunting up merchandise for their great emporium
of out of the way manufactures. They have
huge assortment Of toys which they offering at
cost all sorts of dress trimmings on hand, or they
will make them to order at short notice the finest
of cutlery the best of musical instruments of all
kinds; and in short, good deal of everything in
the out of the way line of merchandise. More
over, they selling all these goods at the very
lowest prices, regardless Of immediate profit SO
that they may build up extensive business rela-
tions for their house.

which the Jackson Railroad was greatly damaged,
but the mails were not detained over two days, and
this community has now been without mail from
the great metropolis five days. We have received
New York papers to the seth ult. 1t is something
