LOCAL POLITICS.


meeting of the several clubs which they represent,
a synopsis of the proceedings. We are CON-
PEELED to ask tins from them, as The rapidly in.
creasing number Of Democratic clubs in the city
render it impossible for a local force, however
large, to attend everJ meeting. We wish to make
this column q complete compendium of local
political intelligence, and, with the aid of our
friends, will certainly Do so. Bot such assistance
city Will give it.

The Crescent City Club.
This band of sterling gentlemen on Saturday,
before the procession, were honored by being
made the recipients of yet another token Of the
esteem m and admiration In which they are held by
our citizens. Their former gifts, however. have
come from the ladies'; this time 1t was from the
hands of the sterner sex that the tribute came.
Messrs. Gueble and Nippert, the well known 90
cuDants of one of tho rouro buildings, MADE last
week q magnificent U. 3. nag IL Is very large
one, made of double silk with heavy gold fringe,
gilt stars, and is attached to handsome staff sur
mounted with silver spear point. Knowing how
safe it would be in their hands, Messrs. Gueble
and Nippert rendered this handsome standard to
the Crescent City Club, who, 1attered by the
compliment, were not slow to scceptit. Accord
ngly on Saturday, just before the procession had
formed, the club marched 10 the store OF Messrs.
Gueble & Nippert, where Mr.. Saml s. Carlisle
who made such hit the night Of the flag presen.
named gentlemen. with happy speech presented
the flag. Col. Fred. N. Ogden. president Of the
Crescent City's. responded in his usual able style,
when the club, every man in it q trIfe prouder
for the event in which he had just participated,
marched of to join the procession.
Messrs. Gueble d Nippert are not, we are in
formed, citizens OF our town. Hence the lively
interest they have thus displayed in our well be.
ing is all the more praiseworthy.; We commend
their example to others.
The Seymour southrens.
Again it becomes our pleasant duty to record
another tribute of beauty to chiyalry, in the pre-
sentation of banner by the fair ladies OF the
Garden District to the Seymour Southrons. The
banner is one of exceeding richness, and does
honor both to the fair donors and the recipients.
Its front is Of pure white silk bordered with gold
lace, with the name of the Seymour Souihrons
ard thf 5nott0 For our homes" inscribed upon 1t
with silver lace, upon w6cs 4 ne ssto, astsnd tan
by the Constitution" For elegance of design
and exquisiteness Of taste 1t compared with any
banner which was that night borne in the pro-
cession. In kindly consideration of the long
march before the Southrops, the presentation
took place at the residence Of Mrs. Rice No. Is
Prytsnia street, Capt. Samuel Flower, in q spir-
tied address, rendering it on behalf of the ladies',
and the Hon. NJ. A. Foute responding in behalf Of
the club in happy manner.
We congratulate the Southrons on their guidou,
for there are few clubs that can boast OF as beau
tiful banner ss that which they SO proudly car.
ried on last Saturday night. We have no doubt
that on the ides of November their lady friends
will find that the SouthrOns' banner will be among
the first to herald the victory Of our cham
piops.
Immediately after the presentation the club,
under the guidance of their marshal, nj. McNa
mara, proceeded to the residence OF Mrs. NJ. E.
Royes, on Bsronne street, where the spprecia'
ton Of the ladies was again manifested 10 the
crowning o. their banner by a wreath, whose
elegance drew forth the admiration of all and
- - - - "a H.. A.n
on Camp street, where they were again honored
by the ladies with another wreath, expressive OF
their admiration of this unexcelled organization
Hurrah for the Southrons and their lady friends.
