The Secretary of the Treasury may, under

French Delay and London Conference
Recruitment Of Fugitives from French
Army-LOnd0n Examiner ON Grants
Message.
LONDON, December 16.-It is said that the
delay of the French government in acced-
ing to the London conference, is wholly due
to difficult communication between BOr-
deaux and Paris.

French COnsuls at Luxemburg with the re-
enlistment Of fugitives from the French
army.
The Examiner Of yesterday has an edi-
tOrial on the late message of President
Grant, and the relations between the United

questions at issue between the two cOun-
tries be left to a court of arbitration, and
that such a court sit permanently.
The bark Ibis, from New York for Cork,
upset at Queenstown yesterday, owing to
the shifting of the cargo.

NEW ORLEANS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1870 :
The Grand Concert At aIi.erv. Han.

The Grand Concert ut Minerva Hall.
The press of other matter has delayed
the appearance of our notice Of the grand
concert for the benefit of Trinity chapel,
given last Thursday evening, at Minerva
Hall, by number Of the best amateurs of
New Orleans, aided tby Mr.. Arnold, an cid
time professional, under the direction Of
that well-knOwn and deservedly popular
teacher, Prof. l.. A: Seward, organist Of
Trinity church. We are compelled to give
very briet notice Of one Of the richest
musical treats with which our city has been
favored within very long period-except-
ing, Of course, the performances at the
opera.
Among the choice gems rendered on the
occasion, we can refer to the following as
especially deserving notice.
Mr.. A. B. Chase, whose parlOr concerts
have made for him some very pleasant
memories in the Crescent City, sang with
feeling and taste the very pretty ballad
commencing Far Out at Sea-" and had the
satisfaction of seeing that his effort was
duly appreciated.
''Hear Us, 0 Father" by Owens, trio,
was charmingly rendered by Mrs. Pierson,
Mrs. Pierce and MI. Meteye.
Lindpairteur's dramatic song, for bari
tone, "The Standard Bearer" was most
admirably rendered bysMr. j. A. Arnold.
His voice is rich in quality and tone, and is
not only of great compass and strength, but
eyinces careful artistic cultivation. He
was in excellent voice, and his singing
elected the most enthusiastic applause.
An encore brought Mr.. Arnold out in the
song from the "Enchantress''-"Let All
Obey" and demand for repetition fol-
lowed. Mr.. Arnold had the sense to refuse
further tax upon his good nature, being
apparently unwilling to delay the advent of
the other choice things Of the evenings
entertainment.
Little Miss Lizzie Rainsford executed a
solo upon the piano, in style sufficiently
indicative of genius, requirement and
promise to justify a high estimate of what
the future has in store for her.
The aria, "Sicilian Vespers," is very
difficult affair for an amateur, and Mrs. r.,
who showed no inconsiderable merit by
her performance, would have succeeded
better in different piece.
Messrs. Wheeler, Meteye, and the several
ladies who appeared, acquitted themselves
with much credit, and gave the fine audi
ence assembled great and sensible gratifica-
ton.

Philadelphia Press on Governor War;
moth.


moth.
We quote the following from the New Or
leans correspondence of the Philadelphia
Press of a recent date:
That the Democratic leaders did not sue
ceed in getting up riot in this city two
days after the election by the publication of
the most inhammable and outrageous false
hoods in reference to the DOnaldsonville
affair, is no fault of theirs. In fact, it is
well known that had it not been for the
wise precautions taken by Governor War
moth, in calling out the militia and holding
in readiness sufficient force of United
States troops to quell any disturbance
which might arise, the disgraceful scenes of
1868 would have been repeated on a larger
SCALE And, while speaking of Governor
Warpoth, it is but an act Of simple justice
to add that the Republican party of the
State and the whole country are largely in
debted to him for our recent grand success.
For months, in connection with General
Sheridan, 1.-THE young Douglass of LOuisi-
ana," he has canvassed the whole State, ad-
dressing large audiences of both white and
col0red citizens. exposing the fallacies of
Democracy and making many converts to
the Republican party.

New Orleans, La, December IL, lS'o.)
General Orders No. s:
l. The following orders are promulgated
to this command: :
Stair OF LOUISIANA,
Adiutant Generals Office,
New Orleans, December IL. 1870.
Special Orders No. n:
The resignation of w. S. Mudgett, as
Brigadier General of Louisiana State Militia,
approved October f3, 1870, is hereby ac-
cepted, to take effect from that day.
By command of the Governor.
JAMES LONGSTREET,
Adjutant General.
9. Ip thus dissolving my official connec-
ton with the brigade, can not but express
my thanks to the officers and men of this
command for their cooperation with me in
the arduOus task of its organization. under
taken, as it was, under difficulties trying to
the most experienced, discouragements
dampening the most enthusiastic, disap-
pointments calculated to shake the faith Of
the most earnest. At q time, too, fraught
with political complications, where single
mistep might have involved the community
shed, the officers Of the first brigade
proceeded quietly and firmly, at
times slowly, but always surely,
in the difficult task before them. Men
who should have been our enthusiastic
friends, doubted or sneered; officials who
should have aided, ipterfered or retarded
progress; but the wok was done, and |
leave the brigade, to-day, an example OF
citizen solliery Of which any State or city
may be proud; which some might do we1l
to initiate; which few can rival and none
excel.
My labor with the command has ended,
but my heart is always with it. Continue,
comrades, in the path which you have
hitherto so manfully trOd; success and glory
are surely yours.
3. To Colonel James Lewis, Second In
fantry, and Colonel j. III. Ingrahan, Third
Infantry, and their officers, l renew the
expression of my heartfelt esteem and re-
gard, and assure them that my regret at
parting officially with them is mitigated by
the confidence l have in their ability to
maintain the discipline and efficiency OF
their commands To the officers of my per.
sonal staff, l return my thanks for their
faithful and efficient performance Of duty.
To the brigade, can only say, fellO'~-sol
diers, adieu.

A note from Mr.. L. J. Highly, referring
to the article on wharfage Reforni," re-
published this morning from the Price Cur
rent, says:
The plan is to give the right TO COM
pany to build twOstOry warehouse in
front Of the levee, one hundred feet front
from the river. to be left open below, and
all levee facilities to remain the same as
now, with the addition of free storage for
forty-eight hours, and then all goods not re-
moved moved to be re removed by machinery and
to be made as per schedule of other houses.
In this there is no monopoly, as no one is
compelled to store unless he chooses to do
80, and all have the benefit Of forty-eight
hours shelter. In short, by this projected
improvement th6city will rent the ar, and
not the ground
