Military Encamninenf.

The Fourth of July was celebrated in
New Orleans and environs in manner in
dicative that bygones are bygones, and that
the era of good feeling is fast approaching,
never, it is to be hoped, to depart again.
Among the many testimonials that holy
remembrances of the Fourth of July vet
live in the hearts of the American people
the most prominent was the military dis
play at the Metairie Race Course.
The encampment of the First Regiment of
Louisiana Militia commenced on Sunday
last, and terminated on Tuesday, with a
grand military display. We may remark
that the men who encamped at the Metairie,
as we'll as the men who, on the Fourth, took
part in the military demonstration, are no
''feather-bed soldiers" but men who, in field
and flood, have experienced the stern reali-
ties of ''grim-visaged war" They know all
about the whizzing of a bullet fred in ear
nest-all about the headlong charge of cav
airy, or the deadly effect of well served ar
tillery. All this is over; at least as far as
Uncle Sans farm is concerned, and the gal
liant fellows whose bravery would do credit
to any cause, will hereafter stand shoulder
to shoulder against a common enemy should
any arise.
There was very large attendance of la
dies and gentlemen at the Metairie Course
during the latter part of the day to witness
the dress parade, and unquestionably the pa
geant was worth seeing There were at least
a thousand men under arms, and as they
formed for review not long before sundown,
the effect was magnificent. The extreme
right was occupied by Colonel Squires, with
a battery of three twelve Founders and
three artillery companies parading as in
tantry. Colonel Streets Crescent City
Guards; the First Regiment of Infantry,
commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Briggs;
the Second Brigade, commanded by Colonel
w. NJ. Owen; the Fifth Regiment, under
command of Major Braughn; the whole
force being reviewed by Major General
Campbell and staff, among whom we no.
ticed Colonel Mehle
The military music at the review was
splendid. In addition to the Berlin Cornet
Band, the band of the Nineteenth Regi-
ment of United States Infantry had been
obtained, this band being stationed at
the Barracks, under the charge of Drum
Major Lee.
At the close of the review a grand salute
was fired by Colonel Squires artillery, and
then the tents were struck, and the soldiers
departed for peaceful homes.
After leaving the field, the command was
the city, according to the programme desig-
mated in the REPUBLICAN of Tuesday morn
ing, eliciting much admiration from the
spectators

from the REPUBLICAN, when the Governor
laughed heartily, but he did not know we

a worthy man." and then the Governor was
silent.
Did you hear that Grant said Hancock
is dying to run ~
Eyes, saw it in the Herdld but Grant
said that because he personally hates Gen
eral Hancock. There is a personal feud
between them"
But New York talks about you, Governor.
"Well, but" and then the Governor
looked fixedly at wheat field through the
car window. He was playing the role of
Logan. He was willing to talk about the
Republicans, but wouldn't say much about
the Democracy"
Pendleton keeps making a big fuss in
Ohio!
The Governor remained silent, but q
classmate of his said: "Yes, Pendleton
and his squirrel shooters came up to our last
Presidential convention and made a good
deal of trouble. They killed Chase and
johnson, and while they were wrangling,
Sam Tilden slipped in Governor Seymour,
and Montgomery Blair stole a march by
getting Frank Blair nominated Vice Presi-
dent. George Pendleton and Wash Mclean
are disorganizers, and Sam Tilden is an anti
quarian. The new Democracy, with Mayor
Hall, Tweed, Young Adams, of Boston. and
the new departure men of Ohio are to rule
the convention of 1872"
We meant to have said something of Sara
toga, which now begins to bi ighten with the
blaze of political faces, and look gay with
the caravans of fashion, but we save up for
our next.

was conferred upon your correspondent by

of obtaining instruction, in order that
may be enabled to teach our newsbOys how
to celebrate Shrove Tuesday hereafter, or
perhaps gain an idea to give the Revelers or
Comus. However, will not laugh until
witness the parade.
Were l possessed of wealth, my inclina-
tion would bring me to this place to pass
the summer months, for better can not be
found; at least l have seen no locality so
well adapted and with so many charms for
temporary resort Hills from which
ravishing scenery can be viewed, and val
leys in which the softest of comforts may
be found abound And then, after having
satisfied ones appetite with wholesome
spring fruits in Louisiana, you may find
repetition here during the months of June
and July, larded with the coolest of healthy
breezes off the big lakes. Superior drives
with splendid teams are not the least at
fractions, for hOrsefesh here is something
the natives can brag of.

At the Jefferson Market Police Court this
morning, Aaron Bradley, colored, Senator
from Georgia. charged Samuel l.. Harris,
financial inspector of the National Freed

city, with cheating him out of fifty dollars.
Complainant stated as follows: On the
seventeenth of June last he bradley de-
posted one hundred and fifty dollars in the

been but one hundred dollars entered to
his credit. Harris is held in five hundred
dollars bail to answer the charge.

Hibernia Benevolent Association.

The picnic of the Hibernia Association at
the Oakland Course terminated on the eve
ming of the Fourth of July, or, rather, on the
morning of the fifth, for the boys kept it up
tremendously; all the more so, no doubt,
on account of the near neighborhoOd of the
Metairie Conrse. After the review of she
military and the breaking up of the camp,
a great many of the boys forgot to go home,
but happened into the Oakland Course,
where there were unrivaled facilities for
tripping the light fantastic toe, or treading
the may.
There is no doubt that this picnic has
been grand success, and we may say with
out fear of contradiction that nowhere in
the world could have been found an assem-
blage of several thousand happier people.
The amusements were such as ought to suit
every taste, intellectual as well as muscular
The whole passed off in the happiest man
ner, nothing occurring to mar the enjoyment.

Discussion of the Budget in the Cortes.

MADRID, July 4.-The Cortes continues
the discussion of the budget. Reports which
have been circulated here of alleged dis
turbances in Havana are now ascertained
to be wholly unfounded.
During the debates in the Cortes, Senor
Nocedal took occasion to denounce, in very
bitter terms, the occupation of Rome by
King Victor Emanuel.
Senor Olozaga, in reply. protested against
the expression of any opinion whatever on
the subject by the Cortes.

Creole Fire Company No. 8, after indulging
in ball Monday night, dancing the third
out and the Fourth Of July in, came from
Biloxi Tuesday evening on the last train of
the New Orleans and Mobile railroad. They
were welcomed by delegation of fremen
on their arrival at the Canal street depot
and marched up Canal street, escorted by a
tOrchGght procession. Among the inter-
ested parties who came up with the Mines
were Justice Montamat, ex-Recorder Gasti-
mel, District Attorney Luzenberg and Cap
tain McCann. The gallant Mines had good
band of music with them.

The time is gradually drawing near when
the next single number drawing of the
Louisiana State Lottery will take place,
and as there are quite large number of
fortunes in store for a large number of
lucky individuals, it is well that all should
know it in order that all may have an equal
chance in the race for fortune. Next Satur-
day 440 prizes will be drawn in this lottery,
amounting in the aggregate to over $3.50, 000
A few dollars invested in tickets might
prove a fortune to some individual who
stands much in need of it.

Carbon Gas by 'Sloper's patents and can strongly
recommend these machines the simplest
cheapest and most substantial gas machines ever

less cost. For churches, halls, sugar houses and
country towns this machine can not be surpassed.
Orders for machines left at the company's office,
