NErARlE RACE CoURsE.-The energy which ID
displayed by the lessees, Messrs. James and VIII
son, who now have control OF the Metairie Course,
IS 40 assurance that the spring meeting will be
one of the most successful ever held on the ia.
mouse old Metairie.
In proof of the interest which is taken In the
races we may mention that at the last meeting OF
the Metairie Jockey Club seventy ski new members
were elected, comprising men Of the first charac-
ter and responsibility in New 0rleans-and that
the psmes OF twenty-five or thirty more have been
proposed, to be submitted to the next meeting.
1t has been determined, however, that the num-
Der of members shall be limited, and there is a
prospect that there will soon be no room for new
admissions to the club.
To add to the attractiveness of the spring meet.
ing II has beer decided that each member of the
Jockey Club shall have the privilege of issuing
certain number Of tickets to ladies. The ladies'
have always graced the Metairie races with their
presence-but, this year, II is determined TO have
them there in such numbers as to make a brilliant
pageant to add to the interest of the races These
tickets will be issued in such numbers, and to
ladies Of such high position in New Orleans, as to
give promise Of the spring meeting being as great
a social success as 1t will undoubtedly be a sue
cess in the way Of contest for h0nors of the
furf

THE OPENING OF THE CONTEST.

The so-called convention adjourned yester-
day. after a session of eighty-one days. The
election on the thing called Constitution
is fixed for the 18th and 18th of April; also
elections for State officers, parish officers, etc.
By fixing these elections. on the same DAY as
the election on the Constitution, the carpet
bag vsgrant and mendicant '4oyalists' hope
to get out vote large enough to ratify shelr
instrument They go into the contest with
the advantage of Gen. Sheridan's registry, by
which about half of the white citizens OF the
State were disfranchised; but they will lose
much of this advantage when the lists are
opened for revision. To the extent of voting
on the question of the adoption of the Con-
stitution the white people will be compelled
to recognize the infamous reconstruction iegis-
lation of Congress, and the work of the car
pet-bag convention; and if they mean to
win they will have to work zealously
and theoretically for the next thirty days. 1t
is not very pleasant task it is true, but it
must be accomplished. Everything practical
bic must be done to avert the calamities
which would fall on the State if scheming
conspirators and shameless plunderers should
carry their point Louisiana would be dis
graced if her people surrendered to such
summons without a strenuous effort to save
themselves from the degradation of negro SUI
premacy, and vagrant and mendicant mis-
rule. The committees must now go to work.
There is no time to be lost. Every eligible
white voter must be Registered when the lists
are reopened, and every registered white
voter must cast his ballot when the day of
election arrives. If we do all that is in our
power We shall have no cause to blame our
selves, but it is due TO the cause of public
liberty, as well as to our friends at the North,
that we use every effort to defeat the nefa-
rious schemes of the corrupt and tyranni-
cal party which is striving to overthrow free
government in America.

The election for Shelby county, Tenn, on the
9TH, resulted in the complete saccess Of the radi-
cal ticket. This result is explained in the fact
that the radical negroes took possession of ballot
boxes in several precincts. voted as often as they
chose, and were fully sustained in every violent
act by the police. whisky was dealt out freely to
The Arkansas, Mississippi and other imported
negroes, and they faithfully performed tho low
work expected Of them. So says the Memphis

1t is expected that another ship viii be added to

rapidly. and there is every prospect Of the sue.
