Capital SI,O00,OOO.

The use of this Guano since its Introduction,

THE CLUB DEMONSTRATIONS.
Greeley Voters Enthusiastic.

Without any grand flourish or great
amount of advertising a large number OF
political clubs turned out in public parade
last night, making prominent streets look
lively as if we were enjoying flush times,
1t was a noticeable fact that the members
of the several clubs bore themselves de-
coroasly and general good feeling pre-
vailed among all: Most of the clubs, now
uniformed, move in semi-military fashion,
each thoroughly organized, perhaps better
than in any previous campaign. Words Of
command smack of tie tented field, per-
haps even more than would altogether
please Mr.. Greeley, for whom all this
parade wa in hf nor.
Something ike dozen clubs were out,
the ranks Of each well filled and well di-
rected.
Among the most prominent wa the Rous-
seau Guards, uniformed in wide awake
style, presenting a fine appearance, which
may in part be accounted for in their hav-
ing Mr.. N. 0. Tracy for grand marshal.
That gentleman looked proud of his com
mand, and knows how to handle his men to
the best advantage. TIE clubroom is on
Elysian Fields street, near Greatmen, where
some of the best men in the Third District
delight to assemble and discuss political
questions. That section has good reason to
hatter Itself in the possession Of so excel
lent club. For the serenade they gave
us we thank them.
The Gratz Brown Guards looked tleir
best while assisting at the presentation Of a
flag to the senior Frank Blair Guards.
The Forster Rangers are as fine a looking
body as was on the street. They were out
with the Johnson Rangers, also a very eff,
feotive body. The Forsters carried trans
parency illustrating the great gubernatorial
race, and Tim Connors bore it bravely.
Marshal Cloney showed his Frank Blair
Cadets TO the best advantage, and they
were feature of the parade The hall is at
the corner Of Common and Robertson
Streets
The Crescent City Club looked as bright
as new dollar under ogdegs of Chief Mar
shall Yaudryo
Os course the Broom Rangers Joined IN
making unique appearance
The Wilt Guards showed the largest
number of members, and seem well organ
izedo They were presented with wreath
and banner previous to the paradeo
The johnson Rangers were net the leass
or last jr the procession, and the same may
be said for the Jonas Cadets and Washing
ton Avenue Guards.
All other clubs that were out were entnu
siastic. frequently cheering for Greeley and
Brown
The demonstration Of last night certainly
indicates that one political clan is up and
doing. Most Of the clubs me4tjoped are Of
the Democratic persuasion.

WASHINGTON, September 2l.-The Bureau
of Justice is considering the eligibility OF
James A. Lee, colored alien, nominated in
Mississippi as Presidential electOr, to cast q
vote in the electoral college. The decision
will probably be that he must have been
naturalized since the ratification of the
fourteenth amendment, to make his vote
valid The question was first asked OF the
Attorney General, who declined answering,
but subsequently, through the direction OF
the President, the law was Investigated
The question is regarded important IN Rad
ical circles, as the rejection of Lees vote
might defeat Grants election,

the law have rendered useless.
The contract for carrying the mails be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
has been awarded to the White Star line.
The contract for carrying the continental
mails was awarded to the Bremen line.
The Star says it is stated that the Presi-
dent has refused to pardon certain Ku-
Klux prisoners now in the Albany peniten-
tiarY, who had been recommended for ex-
ecutive clemency, because of a protest com
ing from the best citizens where the Grim
inals were econEicteds from those who would
be most endangered by their release. The
character of most Of the eonvicts is very
bad; some of them are ignorant, lawIes@
desperate men, who, it is believed, would
not hesitate to wreak vengeance upon all
who testified against them.

to several colored men in Brooklyn who
sought his advice about the Presidential
contest. Mr.. Whittier says: eff you pre-
fer General Grant, you will not, trust, de-
grade yourselves in the eyes of your white
associates, by joining with them in dispar,
aging and abusing such man as Charles
Sumner, who has done so much for you,
and is now suffering untold agony from
wounds received in your service. If you
choose to vote for Horace Greeley, you
need not therefore forget your obligations
to William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell
Phillips. Take their advice or reject it,
but stand by them SILL and teach your par
ty friends to respect your feelings toward
your benefactors. No colOred man, with
any self respect or sense of gratitude, can

Band 1Iusic for the PubIzcs

Probably no city in this country is so
meanly supplied with brass bands as
is New Orleans. and no other city pays
one half as much as our citizens do
for little paradcd music On the annual
parade of our fire department, the several
companies expend fabulous sums for in
different bands, which fact, alone, should
attract the attention of good musicians, and
invite new organizations. This want Will
in part be supplied if proposition made by
Colonel NJ. j. Behan be adopted, This well
known gentleman has, by good judgment
and long seeking gathered together thirty
shilIful musicians, uniformed for the First
Regiment OF Field Artillery. The Colonel
proposes to have this excellent band fur
nish free music in public squares, say three
times each week. if the city administration
will agree TO pay small snm for the com
plimento
Other cities indulge the inhabitants to
such measured recreation, understanding
that attractions of that kind will make the
place pleasant to strangers, and strangers
assist greatly to build up city. The regi-
ment must have brass band, and, under
present circumstances, our militiamen can
not afford the expense of sustaining field
band. It is thought that if the city will add
something to the fund the band can be per
manently secured by Colonel Behan, and
all financial deficiencies may be made up
BY engagements filed by the band at balls
and public parades. At tie close of the
war military band treated eur citizons to
gratuitous evening concerts, generally at
Clay statue, and the pieces played were ap-
preeiated by all kinds of folk

Blessed Rain.

Last evening at seven o'clock rain-doU-
bly, welcome rain-feIl on the just and uE-
Just. Not single globuIe came to ear h
that did not send thrill of joy to every
heart. Gaping cisterns and dusty streets,
begrlmed vegetation and suffering human
ity, all badeit hearty welcome; and even
those citizens who were once or twice
drowned out of house and home greeted the
fall, almost willing to suffer from another
overflow. Old Probabilities thinks we will
have a fair chance of both wind and rain.
