Another Greeley Club.


Last night large number of young men
of the third ward assembled at the Expo
sition building and organized a Young
Mems Third Ward Greeley and Brown
Club. The names of those selected as the
officers of the new club will show that pol
iticians have no part in the management Of
its affairs, for we do not believe that sim
gle one of them ever ran for an office or
even a nomination in his life. The follow
ing is list of the officers elected: William
L. Murray, president; Hugh Lewis, first
vice PRESIDENT E. B. Whitford, second vice
president; William W. Brisbane third vice
president; A. T. Turner, secretary Daniel
Malone, treasurer; F. H. Ayers, S. d. Ell
lott, Taylor Adams, finance committee.
The meeting passed off pleasantly, and
after adopting the following resolution de-
initiye of its intentions, by motion, resolved
to hereafter make their headquarters at
Riley's Hotel, corner Of Common and Dry
AIDES streets, where weekly meetings will
hereafter be held;
ResOLred, That without any preamble We
denOunce the present administration Of
the miscailed government or the United
States as a fraud upon q republican ma
ton,
That under the semblanCe Of republican
form of government the country has been
impoverished, and its best citizens almost
rendered homeless, by the inOrdinate de-
mands of those who, by official patronage,
have been raised to power.
That we, as young men, not politicians,
seeing no future before Us unless We unite
with each other in the inevitable struggle,
hereby agree, without casting away our pri-
vate political opinions on either State or ma
tionai affairs, to heartily iadorse the Cincin-
matt platform and the nominees Of its con-
venti0n as an earnest Of a continuance of
the republic.
That a copy of this resolution be for
warded to the New Orleans REPUBLICAN,
the New Orleans Times and the German
Gq-etie. and that the three Executive Com
mittees of the Liberal Reform party be Off
cially notified of our action.

AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
A Noble Charity About TO be Closed for
Want of Funds
I NEW ORLEANS, June 10. 1872.

A Noble Charity About TO be Closed for
Want of Funds.
New ORLEANS, June 10, 1872.
The undersigned ladies, drectresses of
st. Annals Asylum, beg to lay before the
public simple statement of the affairs of
the institution, and to ask its aid.
The treasurer's statement OF this day
shows that we have balance in the treas
urv of 1921, and $1,000 in State warrants
which we will try to dispose of. We have
seventy-six inmates, fifty-six women and
twenty children; our monthly expenses are
from $500 to 5000. 1t will, therefore, be
seen that if a generous public does not come
forward and assist us in this our great need,
we shall be compelled to close the doors OF
the asylum. Being without endowment or
invested property of any kind, we have
no other visible means OF obtaining ald.
The small amount we receive from the
city is in such shape as to be, at this time,
quite useless. The earnings of those in
mates who are able to work is not more
than $50 or $50 per month.
This institution. incorporated in 1885, is
founded on the broad basis of universal
charity, giving home to the aged and destl-
tute; to the widow, with her family OF help
less little ones, without distinction OF coun-
try or religion. Surely, we may hope that
in this city, so farfamed for its charities,
we may find enough kind hearts ready TO
come to our assistance, so that we may be
able to keep within our walls those aged
and friendlpss people, many of whom have
been there for numbers of years.
We earnestly pray that this appeal may
not be made in vain.

THE ATLANTIC GARDEN.-Now, that the
extreme hot weather is upon us, the most
nleasant and agreeable way Of being re-
lieved from the oppressive atmosphere is
sought. The theatres are closed, and most
all the places Of public amusement being
shut up for brief season, the only place
where real enjoyment can be procured is at
the Gardens" Every evening these
places are crowded by a delighted mass of
our best citizens, who enter into the enjoy
ment offered with zest. Among the most
prominent of these gardens is the Atlantic
Garden" on Baronne street. This Is under
the management of Mr.. Max. L. Eikln.
An entertainment is here offered that but
few of the best varieties theatres in the
North can boast of. Miss Lolita Aaron, the
charming and beautiful vocalist, who
created such a sensation IN the North the
Robinson family, are well worth seeing.
They are pleasing and fascinating in the

GRAND IsLE.-This best of all the salt
water bathing resorts, Grand Isle, the resort
of the buccaneers of the Spanish Main,
opened yesterday. Ben Margot, whose abili-
ties as a host can not be denied, has laid in
extra inducements in the way Of Gus Heron,
and S. d. Dixon, commonly called Sam;
and, still further eucroaching upon the pa
thence Of those who 'cant-get-away," he
has induced Gus Richards to run a steam
boat there twice or three times week dur
ing the season. The surf at Grand Isle is
well known as not only the finest, but the
safest on the continent; and the beach drive
can not be beaten anywhere, we don't care
where it is. Let our people patronize that
which is nearest home, and in reality puts
money in their own pockets by keeping it
at home, while it fills all the dreams Of soft
laziness for the lotus eating easOn, that are
so often found wanting in the celebrated
Northern resorts.

Grduu JOUhls 80
The Picaylnpe of last evening comments
on this statement as follows:
There is a possible liability of the city I'M
der the recent decisions of the supreme
Conrt. to nav back to the license taxpayers
Cf the years mentioned this amount; but
what amount will actually be demanded
can NOT of course, be ascertained at this
time. A large number of persons VINO pald
taxes in these years have, no uOuOt' re-
moved from the city, and there are many
others who will not care to seek repay ent;
AS a general rule, persons VINO are sui
residents of the city and taxpayers VIII
not seek to enforce this skeleton rlgh1'
They have no interest in doing so.
Tie suits thus far brought have chiefly
been instigated by attorneys who offer III
demnitv to the claimants against costs ana
nvnansSs in consideration of one half OF
whatever amount may be collected from
the city. An intelligent and actual TAX
paver will readily see that IN an arrange
inent of that kind he but r0Os hlInse ~ EoE
instance. his claim may be Tor SlUU by
suit. he RECEIVERS the amount, with interest
and costs, amounting say to SloO having
paid TO his attorney $50, and himseI POcK-
ing $50, and the clerks and sherln the re-
naming $50 what has he gained me
whole $3.50 has become debt OF Une clcY'
which he as a taxpayer, must prOVlue Ior
at the next annual assessment T.,
Instead of the 500 originally paid, he
must now pay to the city $50, with all the
costs and expenses attendant upon assess
ment and collection. This would be poor
financial transaction. For the most part
it is reasonable to suppose that these license
taxes, paid in past years, will only De ue-
manded by nOn-taxpaying citizens, Tor they
have nothing to lose and everything 10 gaIn.
II is. therefore. fair to suppose that at least
twenty five per cent of the whole amount
of the liabilities of the city, growing out OF
this matter, will never be demanded.
