New Base Ball Departure.

The Lone Star Base Ball Club of this
city that went off last year ON profes-
sional excursion, and returned with the
spirit of conquering heroes, started again
on their annual tour yesterday, leaving by
the half-past four o'clock train, to connect
with the Jackson railroad cars.
They will play at Nashville tomorrow.
Their next game will be in Louisville, after
which they will play the Live Oaks at Gin
cinnati, and on Saturday next they will
play the celebrated White Stockings. On
Sunday the Lone Stars will rest, and on the
succeeding day they will play with the
4Etnas of Chicago.
Their best games will be with the Ac-
tives, of Clinton, Iowa Ia club that beat
the White Stockings); the Forest City, of
Rockport, and the Kekiongas, of Fort
Wayne, Indiana, after which they will re
turn home.
Subjoined are the names of those who
compose the club ON the tour:
William F. Tracy, captain and short stop;
William Condor, first base; James Hen
messy, catcher; C. Leonard, pitcher; j.
Wright, third base; George Scott, left field,
George Didlake, right field; NJ. H Redon,
centre field; j. Laur, second base and relief
pitcher; j. G. Amar, substitute; William
H. Beanham, manager; Peter Cooley and
Theodore Stewart, Esqs.
Toby Hart, the president of the club, will
leave New orleans next Tuesday, and join
the Lone Stars at Chicago.
Two, at least, of these gentlemen will be
missed at home-one of them, Nr. Peter
Cooley, the cashier of the REPUBLICAN, and
the other Mr.. William F. Tracy, the city
collector of this paper. There is a satisfac-
ton, however, in the knowledge that briet
respite from their arduous duties will rem
der them better fitted to endure the fatigues
of the remainder os the warm season in
New Orleans, and so their associates sepa-
rate from them without a tear.

PARIS, July 15.-It is impossible vet to
obtain details of the disaster at Vincennes-
Explosions continue, and it is dangerous to
approach the scene of confusion and calam-
ity. Many persons were struck by bullets
at great distance from the factory of st.
Maur.
The buildings and stores used in the man
ufacture, of pr0jectiles, were entirely de-
stroyed. The accident occurred frem unload
ing some powder cards in too close prox-
imitysto the machinery used in the prepara-
ton of projectiles.
The weather is eppressively hot, and
a number of sun strokes have occurred.
A deputation of the members of the left
called upon President Theirs to protest
against the continued arrests, the eontinu-
ance of the State of siege of Paris, and the
continuance of the government Versailles.
President Theirs replied that the persons
arrested were accused of henious crimes
the siege will be shortly raised, and the
capital will go to Paris after the recess in
October
There was but one killed at the explosion
of the projectile factory.
The legitimist chiefs declare their party
still remains intact. in spite of the manifesto
of Count Chambord Some members are
attempting the issue of circular, pro-
claiming adherence to the count under all
circumstances, but it obtains very few sig
natures.
In the Assembly to-day the government
announced that proceedings had been COM
menced in the courts against purchasers of
arms in the United States, for malfeasance
in Office.
Archbishop Guibert, of Tours, has been
appointed successor to Monseigneur Dar-
boy, as archbishop of Paris.
The Duke OF Chartres has asked leave to

The committee of the Assembly upon the

the principle of compulsory service.
The National Guards will therefore be
dissolved throughout the country.
La France announces that frank and sim
cere explanations had been exchanged with
the Italian government on the subject of

The event of the week in Wall street was
the decline in speculative shares on the
Stock Exchange, with very little permanent
recovery in prices. The fluctuations were
more numerous than important, and the
volume of business has been generally
light in all departments. Money has been
plenty and cheap enough, but there Is little
confidence. The Stock Exchange is with
out bold and dashing leader, which ex-
plains in another sense the dullness now
pervading the market. At intervals during
the week the number of brokers in the
board room did not number a dozen.
The week closes in great and continued
ease in money, with a supply largely ex-
ceeding the demand. Call loans range

AS to the sustenance upon which such
forces could maintain themselves, there is
abundance of meat. and fruit enough, prob
ably, to victual large number for many
years.
The districts, consequently, must fight
independently, and provide for themselves
at the same time; and although there is at
present no regularly organized force, they
harrass the Spaniards at every side, descend
ing suddenly upon them from their conceal
ment and driving them back. Those who
have no arms are employed as scouts and
contrabands, removing families and prop
erty from place to place, and on the whole
the situation is nearly the same as it was
two years ago.

of Ku-Klux in that county. He testified
that he had attended several of its meet

oath, the supposieiOn of those present
being that he was initiated by the captain
of the band, who can swear in a member.
He stated that his neighbors all belonged to
the band. He gave the commission details
of the organization, signs, grips, etc: He
said that he once went on raid with the
band He said he was present when several
negroes were whipped. The object of the
raid was to obtain entire control of the ne
grOes, and make them vote as the leaders
wished. No prosecution has or could be in

There is to be legislative election in
Utah next month, and the canvass is the
liveliest ever had in the Territory. The
polygamous Mormons are a good deal ex-
asperated against the general government,
partly because they were not allowed to
parade their militia on the Fourth, more
because the federal officials have encour-
aged the immigration of GENTLE labor and
capital, and particularly because the United
States judges have recently set aside many
Mormon laws and customs. Brigham Young
and his associates are therefore very anx-
iOus to make a strong showing at the polls
