THE BALL OF TEE FEN1AN BRoTHEREoop-
Many years and oft we have been at joyous
gatherings in the great festive rendezvous Of the
Crescent city-the ODD Fellows Hail. In the old
times, the gay and festive and gallant members of
the Washington Artillery were wont to bring to-
gether the elite of the city of New Orleans
And SO, also, in eminent style did that
glorious organization, the Continentals, and
that other one, under the auspices of the 'young
mem, against whose management no reproach
was ever uttered. We were on hand at all of
these and many another one, but we must
confess that we hardly ever enjoyed our
selves more than we did at the ball
of the Fenan brotherhood. When we say
that the ball was crowded, we poorly express our
idea in regard to the attendance. Our Odd Eel
lows Hall is one of the most spacious ball rooms
in the country, but it did not begin to ac-
commodate all who desired to participate
in the gay doings night before last. However, we
do not wonder at the grand turn out on this occa-
sion. The spirit and patriotism of our citizens of
Irish birth descent were called into action, and
the result was worthy of these noble sentiments.
The ball, besides being graced with the lovelest
and restrepresentatives of those who admire aud
sustain the brotherhood, was ornamented with the
| glorious symbol of Irish nationality, the green
| flag, with the sunburst upon it.
The State government was represented at the ball
| by his Excellency Gov. J. Madison Wells. The city
government was represented by one of its prom
| IneOt members. q ont
B. L. Lynch Esq, ex-Attorney General of the
State, and many other gentlemen distinguished
either by position, personal worth or by past
glorious record in the latter days that tried men 8
souls.
The managers of the ball deserve the most
unstnted praise for the admirable order preserved
throughout and their attention to their numerous
guests. Long may they wave, say we.

his decision in the case.
| MIsINFoRMEp.-In our report of the private meet
ing of persons claiming to have been original
Unionists, at the City Hall, on Thursday night,
| from information received, we attributed to Mr..
Cooley certain profanity in his remarks, which
that gentleman informs US was misrepresenta-
| ton. Having been excluded from the meeting,
we were necessarily dependent upon others for in
formation as to its proceedings, and the misrepre-
sentaton is owing to the exclusive character of
that political assembly, and not to any disposition
on the part of the reporter of the CRESCENT to do
injustice to Mr., Cooley or any other citizen.
