Governments closed steady. Southern Sc

Wall street was agitated this morning by
bogus circulars reporting the surrender of
Paris and that peace had been declared.
These reports were attributed to a Canadian
bank which had been ShylOcking. Borrow
eTs of money were stringent during the
afternoon, which caused the withdrawal of
currency.

sERENADETO GOVERNOR WARMOTH.
Parade of the COIfax Guards-Zouaves in
Line.


Last night about ten o'clock as the Second
Ward Club was about adjourning. General
Audgett arrived with the organization
known as the Crescent City Defenders,
uniformed IN full zouave costume. The
Colfax Guards of the Second Ward, to-
gether with the Second Ward Club, upon
invitation of the general, fell in line and
marched, with their band, to the residence
Of Governor War1roth.
The band screnaded the Governor, who
appeared to acknowledge the compliment,
and, although in bad health, made one OF
his eloquent and happy speeches. He as
sured them from what he had seen during
his recent campaign in North Louisiana the
State would be carried Tor the Republican
pary'by an overwhelming majority.
The Second Ward Club carried the mag
nifcent banner recently presented 70 them.
The band again saluted the Governor,
and the clubs marched to their respective
quarters, where they dispersed.

The New York Express, one Of the editors
of which is Democratic member of Con
gress from New York, says:
Many individuals in the South whom it is
fair to suppose never exchanged more than
q ceremonial good morning or good
evening" with General Lee are, now that
he is dead, boasting of their intimate ac-
ouaintance and friendly relations with him.
1t would seem almost desirable that famous
men should die for the sake OF the great
number OF bosom friends their decease
gives them. The news Of Charles Dickens
death had hardly been received here when
hosts Of beople in every part OF the country
began to relate anecdotes of their intimacy
with him. Possibly one of fifty OF these
narrators had seen the novelist once, at a
distance: it may be that one in one hundred
had sat at the same public dinner table
with him on an extraordinary occasion.
There is not village or haplet in the
United States that does not contain to-day
many personal friends of General Lee, who
never saw him.

alarm at headquarters and in Versailles
over the news that the French feet has re-
appeared in the Baltic.
Grevy, as the spokesman of sixty noted
Republicans, made an appeal to Gambetta
at Tours. last Friday, in favor of peace. He
said: ''We shall not be likely to obtain a
month hence better terms than are now ex-
tended to us. In month hence thousands
more will have perished, and France will be-
more completely ruined. 1t will be more
difficult for her to find auxiIaries in Europe,
and we must not deceive ourselves BY sup
posing the actual government is at all likely
to be recognized" -
This appeal was received respectfully by

slightest effect either upon the ministers or
the public

Madame Loquct, d wcli-knewn colored
lady doing business in this city in dry goods
fancy articles and groceries, Was recently
in New Orleans, together with her son.
where she purchased n considerable stock
Of goods and shipped them on board the
Wild Wagner. On the morning previous
to the departure Of the boat, Mrs Loquet
sent and paid passage .or herself and son,
paying tirst-clasS fare. Soon after herself
and son had taken possession of their rooms,
the doors were locked on the inside toward
the cabin and the keys were carried to the
Office. Mrs. Lorlet was suffering at the
time with a severe attack Of fever, attended
with vomiting. In this condition she was
left during the codest night of the season,
without care or attention and without
blanket to cover her. Considering that this
lady was one OF the largest shippers by this
beat. had paid full passage, was sick, and
considering the inclemencies OF the night, at
least common decency would call for better
treatment. Such case ought not to be al
lowed to PASS without invoking the protec-
ton Of law. The laws of the State are sut-
ficient to protect the rights OF colOred
people on public ceuveyances, and they
should not submit to such wrongs They
owe it to others of their race to bring action
for damages at once. One ease would
break mp these unjust distinctions on ac-
count OF color in this State

Mr.. Don Louis Richard, Of Bellevue,
brought us this week branch of the cele-
brated Dickson cotton" seven or eight
inches in length, and having seventeen bolls
on it, fourteen of which are matured. The
number of bolls On an ordinary stalk of
cotton averages, we believe, about sixty.
What an immense number must there then
be on the stalk from which this small
branch was taken.
