THE NIGHT FERRY IN ALGIRRs.-Any one
whose unhappy occasions may lead him to
cross over to Algiers any evening at rather
late bed time, will be forcibly reminded of
the openingIchorus in La Bayadere." Like
the expectant suitors in that opera, the de-
spairing crowd waiting at the landing for
the tardy boat frequently give vent to their
grief in chorus. Though their ennuneiation
of woe lacks the flowing sweetness Of Au.
bers music, it fully compensates the want
by its profundity of intense expletive. 1t Is
difficult to guess why this night ferry which
promised so much performs so little. Why,
instead Of running at short intervals, they
keep homesick passengers waiting on the
uncomfortable landing by the hour.
Whatever reasons may exist for the tardi.
ness, they should not be allowed to over
balance the convenience of the public by
whose patronage the ferry exists. Let us
have quick

PIONEER GRANT CLUB.-There was another
rousing big meeting of this club on Friday
evening last. There are great accessions
to its ranks every meeting night. In addi-
ton to the regular business there is always
something TO entertain and enliven those
present. There is an organized glee club,
subordinate to the Pioneer Grant Club, and
composed of its members, which must
prove an attractive feature when properly
trained Then there is Professor Sheldon,
who, by the way, was elected an honorary
member at the last meeting, and is yet no
honorary member he is host within him.
self. The public speaking, too, is of the
most attractive and popular kind. Last
meeting night, after the regular business
had been disposed OF, the President, j. NJ.
G. Parker, Esq, called Hon. Michael Hahn
to the chair, for the purpose
of giving him an opportunity of in.
Producing to the club Geleral VIM. L.
McMillen. This the Governor did in his
happiest and best style, eloQuently portray
ing the many admirable qualities of the
man as patriot, soldier, and civilian; he
complimented him highly for the part he
had taken to suppress rebellion, and said
that although he was one of those who was
called carpet Dagger" here, he had done
his duty to his whole country by helping to
put down its enemies. They might call him
what they pleased, but the friends of the
country and of human progress knew him
to be brave, honorable, and eloquent. Gen.
eral McMillen then addressed the meeting
in an able and eloquent manner for about
an hour.
He called on Republicans and Union men
to rally to the support of Grant and Col
fax, the standard bearers Of the only party
that was true to the country and human
progress-the party that was opposed to
slavery. He said that when he was in
Washington, and doubts were expressed Of
the propriety of admitting the States that
had been in rebellion to the condition oc
cupied by them before the war, he pledged
| himself that if Louisiana was reinstated
she would stand by the party that had stood
by the country. In order to make this
pledge good he said the colored people
have TO help carry this State for Grant and
Colfax. The General concluded his re-
marks amid deafening shouts of applause.
RAvIsHER.-Ont the arrival Of the steam.
boat Commonwealth, from st. Louis,
Bridget Pendergast made complaint to an
officer that man on board the boat, named
| William Hines, had rayished her. Officer
McSteA found accused on Delta street and
arrested him. Yesterday the prisoner was
arraigned before Judge Becker who sent
him before a United States Commissioner.
When arrested he did not seem to be aware
of the enormity Of the charge, and was
anxious to be released on bond. On exam.
nation Commissioner Warren dismissed the
case, as the evidence dill not warrant his
holding accused.

SHOOTING IN THE ORLEANS HOUSE.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-07-26

The man behind the counter exhibited no
emotion.
The following is the result of the post
norton examination:
Death was produced by gunshot wound.
The ball entered the chest near the sternum
of the breast bone, on the left side, between
the second and third ribs, passing through
the heart, and after penetrating the chest,
was cut out near the spinal column. Death
was produced by internal hemorrhage.
The jury found in the verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death by a pistol shot in
the hands of the prisoner, Frank Morris.
Accused is locked up in the Parish Prison,
and will be arraigned before Judge Becker
tomorrow.
The pistol used is one that fires fixed am
munition OF the Bacon patent, size $500.
The ball is conical, in a copper tube.
CITY ITEMS IN BRIEF.-William Riddell
must riddle his pocketbook to discover fifty
dollars, with which to pay a fine for having
been guilty of keeping disorderly house
in the Triangle Buildings.
John Gibbs or ellis was fined fifty dollars
for running his cab with somebody elsee
number.
Annie O'Brien and Mrs. Levette were each
taxed twenty dollars for their insane
attempts to make demijohns of themselves.
FRANCOIS Courtade, butcher in St. Ma
RVS market, was yesterday before United
States Commissioner Warren, charged by
Mrs. Fitzgerald with having passed sic
counterfeit bill on her. Accused gave bond
to appear on the first of August and answer.
Charles Stokes, mate of a steam boat,
charged with an assault and battery on
deck hand. Stokes is also accused of throw
ing the same defendant into the river while
the boat was lying at Canal street. Bonds
given to appear on the first of August.
Weather still cloudy, cool, rainy.
THE DIAMOND decentralization Bragg
appeared against Spencer Rush, who is
supposed to be the one who stole a pair of
diamond ear pendants from the dwelling of
prosecutor. The evidence against Rush
was sufficiently strong to have him sent
before the Criminal Court. The other per-
sons who were arrested as having some
knowledge of the robbery have been dis.
charged. Accused must possess influence
or money, as four attorneys were engaged
in the defense, all of them exerting them
selves unusually to clear the case.
