NOTES IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
In the House yesterday Mr.. Lowell, of Cad
do, advocated the bill for the improvement
of the navigation of Red river, maintaining
that if Red river is cleared out much cotton
that new goes to Galveston would find its
way to Red river and thence to New Or
leans, increasing the commerce both of the
city OF New Orleans and the State of Louisi-
ana.
Abiding to an inquiry by Mr.. McMillen,
of Carroll, Mr.. Lowell said: Gentlemen who
live on the Mississippi river forget that
there is another river; forget the importance
of the commerce of Red river. We claim
and ask that this bill should so through at
once to secure the transportation of thirty
or forty thousand bales of cotton that will
otherwise be diverted to Galveston. The
cost of the improvements is limited to
$685. 900.
On the bill to reimburse party in Union
parish who had enormously paid tax on a
distillery to the amount of $3.50, Mr.. Muir.
rel, of Lafourche, asked who was he, the
petitioner, serving Mr.. Faulkner, of Cald-
well, replied "Mammon.'
Mr.. Murrel He was not working in the
interest of reconstruction of Louisiana, and
is entitled to no consideration.-GL laughter. }
MIR. Washington, of Assumption, was Op.
posed to the consideration of bill for the
relief of J. Madison Wells. He wanted the
school bill taken up now. 1t had been
STAYED off long enough, and he saw in the
proposition to take up this relief bill only
another plan to defer action on the school
bill. The other day a usury bill was taken
up, on the declaration that it could be dis
posed of in five minutes. But five hours
were occupied on the bill. The same is now
said Of this bill. He wanted action on the
school bill. The House should promptly
pass some sort of school bill, If not this
one He should not vote for all the provi-
sions Of this bill, but he would for school
bill.
Mr. Lowell, Of caddo. opposed an amend
ment to section three of the school bill, Civ.
ing the late superintendent control Of all
public schools IN the State, and said If he
was Stale officer and this power was con.
terred on him, he ~ould resign. No man,
he declared, ought to possess 50 much
power. The power was dlmlniahed by an
amendment.

Police AS ACCOUNT CoLLECToRs.-The
mission of the Police Department is gener-
ally regarded as pertaining to criminal mat
tiers exclusively, but there occasionally
arises some retail dealer who almost insane
Iy rushes for an officer to arrest some man
who has failed to "settle that little BILL"
For instance, fellow with two sheets in
the wind and another flying fills his NAV
with Poydras market hash and then fails to
pay his board bill. The man of hash calls
on an officer to convey the man to prison,
in order that his claim may be collected.
Arriving at the station house, the polite
clerk, according to Instructions and the law,
informs the complainant that he can not
lock up anybody on a civil charge. Such
transactions must be settled before tribu-
nails of competent Jurisdiction.

EMPIRE GRANT CLUB.-This new club held
a rousing meeting last night, principally
for the purpose of accepting nearly three
hundred applicants for membership. The
new members were mostly on hand, and
were gratiled in enrolling themselves in
the national cause, for Grant and Colfax.
Governor Warmoth being present was called
on for a speech, and he responded in cheer
ing remarks that were well received. Colo.
mel A. P. Field also addressed the meeting.
and his forcible arguments told finely with
the audience. Judge j. Hawkins made a
pithy speech, which gave much encourage
ment to his hearers. The little he had to
say was full of force and point. Hereafter
this club will hold its meetings in National
Hall, Poydras street. Time of sessions will
be published hereafter, All Republicans
are cordially invitsd to come forward and
be enrolled among its members.

REPUBLICAN, CLUB. ALGTERs A specia
meeting of this club was held on MONDAY
evening. There was an extraordinary full
attendance. The President, Mr.. Pease
having stated the object for which the meet
ing was called, vacated the chair, and Mr.
George Graeian was called upon to preside
Mr.. James Jackson offered the following
resolutions:
WHEREAS. It has been proposed to estab-
fish in this parish Grant and Colfaz
Campaign Club irrespective of the club
Whereas, 1t is necessary that there should
be entire unity in the ranks of the Repub-
lcan party everywhere: therefore, be it
Resoloed That the Republican Club OF
the parish Of Orleans, right bank, is already
in every respect a Grant and Colfax club.
the election of these standard bearers of
Republicanism being the present business
of all Republicans; be it further
RSSolued, That the Republican Club of
this parish has. in all things, proved its full
efficiency; that some months ago it was a
club to elect proper representative to the
Constitutional Convention, and it performed
that duty by sending to that body the best
man for the purpose. Afterwards 1t was a
club to elect proper men to fill various par
ish offices, and it carried the election tri-
umphantly. Now it is organized to elect
Grant and Colfax, and it will sweep the
parish; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That the complete efficiency of
the Republican Club of the parish of Orleans,
right bank, and the intelligence of its mem,
bers, renders any missionary operations
among us unnecessary. That there are va
rious localities where intelligent Hin is
needed, but the parish of Orles IS, light
bank, is not one of those places; and it
further
ReSnloeG, That the formation of any other
than the organization now existing is mex
pedient, would be mischievous, and can not
be countenanced by this club.
Mr.. Pease seconded the resolutions in an
address of some length when they we're
unanimously adopted.
Addresses were then made by Messrs. c.
q. Packard, James Jackson, William Pease.
Thomas Cage, and Frank Codwell.
After which the club adjourned.

learning Of it, found Bicon in Forget's Res,

suSRoGAHNG RIGHTs.-The city has a
claim against certain real estate for taxes
over due. A gentleman who holds large
mortgage against the property comes for.
ward and settles the taxes, and the city
thereupon, through the Common Council,
subrogates to him their rights on said lands,
thus increasing the amount of his mortgage
in reality.
