Ecrcnadc Of Gen. Cox.

A few soldiers, with an excellent band,
serOnaded General Cox last evening at

get a response from the General in return.

General Cox to respond, We saw three

The Election on Monday Next.

II is earnestly to be hoped that
the quiet and good order which has
prevailed during the present canvass
may not be married by any proceed
ihgs Of an unpleasant nature either
public or private on Election Day.
Let every one be careful to give no
cause for undue excitement and
there will exist no after regrets at in
furious consequences. The cause
of public order has been fully pre-
served and maintained in neighbor
ing States during the periods of their
recent elections, and now in Louisi-
ana, where hitherto on such occasions
our people have vindicated both in
temper and action those great prin-
ciples of law and order which are an
essential safeguard to society, we
hope there will be at this time no
cause given or disposition shown to
depart from this rule. If at any PEE
iod in the annals of our State her
citizens have been called to calm
dispassionate exercise of the right of
franchise, that period is emphatically
the one at hand. The eyes of the
Nation are anxiously turned to our
State, and much, very much depends
on the manner in which our elections
are to be conducted and upon their
results, as affecting our future civil
relations with the. General Govern
ment.
On both the State Tickets are pre-
sented the names of good and capable
men, as also upon the local tickets,
outside of party nominations. There
can therefore be no great difficulty in
making suitable selections from among
the numerous candidates in the field
unless perhaps, in cases where personal
friendship and esteem, may incline
the voter to favor each of the oppo.
sing candidates for any given Office,
and to cast bis vote for all of them
but, as this cannot be, and only Ger.
tain number can be elected, he should
weigh we'll in his own mind the
respective merits and claims of the
contestants, aside from mere personal
proeIivities, and cast his ballot accord.
uyso the dictates of his own judg-
ment and conscience. 5=F#.

THE TIREMEN's BALL.

The Firemen's Ball to take place
tonight at Pixies Hall, under the
auspices of Independence Fire Com
pany No. 2, will doubtless meet the
highest expectations of the gallant
iiremen and the parties generally
who intend participating in the novel
and interesting event. The "notes
Of preparation" have been sounded
far and wide, and should the weather
permit, the assemblage will, we feel
assured, be very large. The Hall
will present an elegant appearances
Judging from the arrangements which
have been made to put it in proper
trim; and the beauty and animation
it will derive from the bright eyes,
lovely countenances and graceful
forms of the fair danes and demoi-
selles who are likely to figure on its
boards, will make it the centre of at
traction for the time being.
The object for which the Ball is
given---namely to raise the means
necessary for the purchase of new
set Of hose for the Firemen-is one
which addresses itself with peculiar
force to the interests and liberality of
our citizens, and we hope that all
will appreciate it, and SO manifest
that appreciation by generous ex,
tension of their support toward secu-
ring the object in question, whether
they intend being present at the
Ball or not.

Thursday afternoon. A colored wo-
man with a white infant in her arms,
in attempting to get on board the
steamer Fashion, slipped from the
plank and fell into the stream, caus-
ing both to be drowned. The boat
had started to leave the landing and
the hands We're in the act of hauling

misfortune. The boat was immedi-
ately stopped and efforts made to

New YORK, Oct. 31.-The Herald say
the action Of South Carolina in electint
Wade Hampton Governor, advocating tht
payment Of the war debt, and refusing to
pass the constitutional amendment, is be
ieved to have seriously affected the future
policy of the President concerning thi

sion of the delegates to the next Congress
Had Mississippi cheerfully passed thu
amendment u general amnesty would have
been at once declared in favor Of all Con
federates. As it il, but few amnesties will
probably be granted to citizens of these

eminent and martial law will be the con.
sequence.

some freedmen, who, not having &C
auired the useful art Of reading, and
not beforehand apprised of the per.
Torrance, were seized with mortal
terror when the orb of day grew dim,
and tapped down on their knees and
put up to Heaven the sincerest
prayers they have uttered since the
evacuation. They believed the end
of all things was at hand. As the
day waned without any of the dread
full explosions supposed to accom-
pany that event, and no sound of the
dread last trumpet was heard, they
gradually recovered their equanimity
and returned to their avocations.
