WASHINGTON, July 24.-The President has
pardoned Reddin and Brown, of Tennessee,
convicted of illicit distilling.
Charles S. English has been appointed
Collector of Georgetown, and j. p. Stark
weather Collector of st. Marks, Florida.
Naval Paymaster Richard Washington
has been restored to duty.
The employees of the Alabama and Chat
tanoOga road having seized the road be-
tween York Station and Meridian, Missis-
sippi, mails go via Montgomery, Mobile and

section in the hands of the riotors is only
twenty-five miles. There is no DELAY of
mails through Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas
and Alabama, temporary contracts having
been made for the service until January l.
Meanwhile new proposals will be invited for
those States defeated by straw bids of some
important river and stage lines
j. II. Christy, of Athens, Georgia, was ex-
amined to-day by the Ku-Klux committee.
He testified, in substance, that he knew of no
ku-klux organization in his district, or any
part OF the State. In answer to the inquiry
as to what facilities he had of knowing any
thing about it, he stated he had been twice
elected to Congress from that district, and
usually attended the courts of the Western
circuit, as we'll as portion of those of the
Northern circuit; and in response to inter
rogatories, he stated he believed that he
was personally acquainted with the people
generally.
No more crime was committed now than
before the war in his section of the State.
He admitted that there had been some vio-
lation OF the law by some disguised parties
for the purpose of Furnishing persons for
living together in adultery and fOrnication,
theft. etc, and stated that it was the gen
eral opinion in the community that the peo-
pie took the law into their own hands be-
cause so many criminals had been par
doned. Another circumstance which gave
rise to the many exaggerations in reference
to the so-called Ku-Klux was the fact that
misthievous young men, for the purpose of
amusement, sometimes wrapped themselves
in sheets and scared the superstitious ne
groes. some of whom affected to believe
they were the ghost of deceased confed-
crate soldiers. These negroes had dis
guised themselves and whipped a white
man in Clark county. and there had been
little said about it, His examination was
long and tedious, but the above are the
leading facts elected.

| Organization of the Warmoth Guards.
| No. 81 DRYADRs STREET, /
| New Orleans, July 81, 1911 !
In pursuance of call for the purpose OF
organizing a sub club of the Third Ward
Radical Republican Club, large, intelli-
gent and enthusiastic crowd were present
at the above named place.
On motion of General Barber Mr.. Joseph
Robertson was called to the chair, pro TEN.
Out of the large assemblage ninety-eight
enrolled their names, whereupon, on motion
of General Barber, the club now went into
| permanent organization, when Mr.. Joseph
Robertson was unanimously elected presi-
| dent; Mr.. P. Houlton, vice president; Cap
| tain Schneider, treasurer; James X. Gleason,
| secretary.
Mr.. j. Sella Martin was called to the
floor, and made telling speech in favor of
! the administration.
Senator P. B. S. Pinchback made timely
and well received speech in the same glori-
Gus cause.
Mr.. W. B. Barrett then introduced the
following resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS That while we indorse to the
fullest extent the national administration
we deprecate the efforts of any parties
holding Office under it to make useless and
dividing issues upon frivolous grounds, when
it is well known that dissensiOns will prove
fatal to party success; therefore be it
Resolred That a spirit of obedience to
discipline demands the support of the
present State administration by every true
Republican, until their successors are
elected.
Captain j. E. Williams was called on and
made a splendid speech in favor of the ad-
ministration.
By unanimous call and three cheers for
Recorder Houghton, that gentleman came
forward and made a rousing speech sup
porting his own administration, but gave
Governor Warmoth's the preference.
The meeting was large, and unanimous
almost to man in favor of the present ad-
ministration, as will be attested by the fact
that the club was named the "Warmoth
Guards"
1t bids fair to number over three hundred
at the next meeting, which is next Friday
night.

Turngemeinde Anniversary.

The anniversary of the Turngemeinde
Won New Orleans (the Turner's Associa-
tion), took place on Sunday afternoon and
evening, at the Turnhalle, corner Lafayette
and Dryades streets. The programme COM
prised gymnastic games, concert and a
ball. We pass over the gymnastics, except
to say that the feats performed by the
Turner's, j. Ryan and G. Wallet, were ad-
mirable, being fully equal to the efforts of
first class professionals.
The concert was fine throughout. The
overture, which the programme attributes
to Haydn, but which was composed by Bel
lini, was executed with admirable effect
The fantasia on the grand piano, subject
from Lucia di Lammermoor, executed by
Professor Buchholz, was also performed
with great skill. Miss Louise Bopp, in the
vocal air by Lindpaintner, gave evidence
that it only requires time and practice be-
fore large audience to make her an excel
lent singer. The vocal pieces were we'll
executed by the Sanggemeinde. The two
last of these were somewhat difficult of exc
cution, but were given in highly creditable
manner, particularly ''Der Krieger"
The gem of the evening was, however a
cornet solo ("die post") performed by pro-
fessor Gunther. Whoever attended AIDE
laide Phillips concerts last winter at the
Odd Fellows hall, must remember the
mastery execution of Levy, the cornet
player. Any competent judge who heard
professor Gunther on Sunday evening, will
bear us out in saying that his performance
was equal to Levy's best effort. The con-
cert closed with ball, which lasted through
the 'ivelong night"

possible. Gladstone replied he believed the
question arose from a misapprehension
OF the character of the list, which. he said,
was solemn compact made between the
sovereign and the people at the beginning of
each reign. Any economical advantages
which resulted were to be credited to the
crown and not the country. 1t would be
we'll for Parliament to maintain this vieU
OF the civil list, as it would contribute to
encourage the queens servants to fulfill

Exhibition at the Orleans Institute.

By invitation, we last evening attended
the annual exhibition of this institute, un-
der the direction of Madam L. Farnet. The
exercises took place at Perfect Union Hall,
on Rampant street. There was a full at
tendance of the friends and relations of the
pupils in their holiday attire, and the per-
formances were greeted with decided mani
testations of applause. The exhibition
opened with the chorus of the "Hugenots,"
followed by comedies and dialogues in Eng
lish, French and Spanish. The institution
is in tiourishing condition, being attended
by about seventy pupils.

A Minnesota paper tells this story:

We lately alluded to the fact that one C.
A. Robinson had left Minneapolis with a
company of one hundred men, who had
paid him two hundred dollars each, in CON
sideration of which he agreed to pilot them
across the plains to mountain of almost
solid gold. This appears to be an old trick
of Robinson's: The Walla- -Walla (Oregon)
Union says of the man. He gets party of
fifty or one hundred men, and for the
nominal sum of say one or two hundred
dollars, agrees to show them mountains of
gold, and, after wandering in the noun
tains for few weeks, he suddenly disap-
pears. and with him vanishes the bright
hopes of his dupes. There are quite a
number OF persons now in this valley who
have suffered in this way by this same
Robinson. We may soon expect to hear of
this party of men, who are on their way to
this precious mountain, somewhere in
Dakota, being deserted by their leader,
who has bled them to the tune of two hun
dred dollars each.

the members OF the Society of St. Vincent de

large number of the friends of this highly

After preliminary religious exercises, the
annual report was presented BY Mr.. ID. P.
Scanlan, president of the institution, which
report was heard with the most earnest at
tention. The report shows there are ninety
four boys now receiving the benefits of the
asylum, and that the space is altogether too
limited to afford the accOmmoda ton that

competent religious instruction.
The Orphans Home of st. Vincent de Paul
has been in existence for some years. In
1866 the present location of the institution
on Common street was purchased. The
house and grounds are very well suited for
the purpose, but the building needs en-
larging in order to keep pace with the
growing needs of the home. The efforts of
the directors and the friends of the institu-
ton are directed to this end, and there is
no doubt that their efforts will be crowned
with success. The Catholics of New Or

ADJUTANr GENERALS OFFICE
Washington, July 19, 1871.
Mr.. William Wright, Appraisers Office United
States Custemhouse, New Orleans Louisiana:
SIR-In reply to your communication of
the fifth instant, requesting on behalf of
MANY United States Volunteers" decision
as to the proper place for the national colors
in line and on the march, you are respect
fully informed that while the old system of
tactics and regulations provide for two
colors for each regiment of artillery and in
fantry. they are silent upon the relative po-
sitions they are to occupy in line
The present regulations and tactics, how
ever, definitely prescribe that but one color
shall be carried at time. Under ordinary
circumstances, or in active service, this will
be the regimental color
From analogy it would seem proper that
when both colors are carried the national
should have precedence and be placed on
the right of the regiment.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
