American Union Club Ball.

The American Union Club celebrated
their second annual ball last evening at
Odd Fellows Hall. The affair, socially and
pecuniarily, was success beyond the most
sanguine expectations.
The toilets of the ladies were simply ma g
nifcent, and the dress of the gentlemen ele-
CANT. A number Of the officers wore their
regimental attire and appeared very impos-
ing upon the floor. Quite number Of our
most prominent citizens were present and
participated in the enjoyments of the eve
nlng. The orchestra was composed of the
finest musicians that the city could produce,
and beautiful were the selections that were
performed. The order of dancing was we'll
selected, and great deal of credit is due to
the committee Of arrangements for the ele-
CANT and tasteful manner in which their ar
rangements of the evening was carried out.
adorned with American flags. and the room
was perfumed with the choicest exotics that
New Orleans could produce.
At twelve o'clock, the intermission having
arrived, the assembly was ushered into the
spacious supper room, where there was
spread one of the most bountiful and ar;isti-
cally adorned tables that could by any
means be produced. Everything was there
that could be wished for; all the delicacies
of the season; all the tropical and home
fruits-everything that the most fastidious
could desire.
The festivities were kept up until almost
daylight, when they parted, but with the
pleasant reminiscence floating in their minds
that "none but the brave deserve the fair"
and that this ball of the American Union
Club Will never be forgotten by the partici-
pants.

THE TABLES TURNED.

Interesting Civil Rights Demonstration.
1t was announced that meeting OF all
those in favor Of civil rights, in their fullest
extent, would be held last night at ST.
James Chapel, on Roman, between Custom
house and Bienvjlle streets. Accordingly,
at the appointed hour, goodly number OF
those anxious to participate in the blessings
of a free government were present.
j. Henri Burch announced the object of
the meeting, in his usual style.
He was followed by T. Morris Chester.
who in his grafton, recapitulated the bene
fits to be derived from carrying out these
principles. But toward the close of his
harangue he appeared to lay the blame of
not enforcing civil rights in this State on
Governor Warmoth, whO he intimated, was
using his power with the object of prevent
ing their consummation. Why" said he
"does not Governor Warmoth enforce civil
rights with the police p Then he suggested
as the proper course to pursue. the arrest
by the police of all saloon keepers. steam
boat captains and others who violated the
intent of the law.
Then Mr.. Burch announced that owing to
the lateness of the hour there would be no
more speakers.
Whereupon Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back, who was among the audience, rose to
apersonal explanation, and said that having
heard that the object Of the meeting was not
political, he found it strange that the meet
ing had been called to censure Governor
Warmoth under the guise of civil rights
demonstration. If Governor Warmoth is to
blame for not enforcing civil rights by the
police, why is it that General Grant, at the
head of the army, is not censured for failing
to enforce these rights at the point of the
bayonet!
This intimation brought down the house.
Following this Messrs. Burch and Tucker
also rose to an explanation, and limited that
T. Morris Chester might have done better
than Juggling politics into meeting of this
kind, and ended by offering resolutions with
the political portion " accidentally omitted
The meeting was decidedly in favor of
civil rights and Lieutenant Governor Pinch

was at twelve o'clock. In this he had NO
desire to control the organization of the
House." Warrants for twenty-seven mem
bers had been issued and served, bat with
out design, though many Senators lad been
waited on to control the organization of
the Legislature. He had not asked General
Emory for the aid of the troops such was
not his intent, though his language may
have been misunderstood. His purpose
was to find out all the difficulties
which might be encountered in the service
of the warrants Though all the members
provided for" in the process were served,
yet but two or three left the precincts of
the place Of meeting, and they were not
''forced," but came up voluntarily. He de-
sired to see Colonel Carter as Speaker of
the House, but knew nothing of the design
OF securing this desideratum by the arrest
Of enough members in the opposition to
secure this end. He was not able to state
the names of those who were in the private
office on the night before, as it was not IN
frequent for consultations to be held there,
any citizen having the right to come in.
The President had not been informed of any
act contemplated before the execution, nor
had advice been asked or obtained from
Washington.
Marshal Packard having, in the course of
his testimony. spoken of the marshal's
office as worth scarcely anything a mem
Der asked if he intended to resign for this
reason
Other evidence was introduced showing
the "wOrth" of the several offices of the
Customhouse, for purposes of information
to the committee.
The committee adjourned to meet at ter
o'clock to-day.

j. Henri Burch.

With lack of gallantry natural to a col
ored man who betrays his own race, and
throws himself into the lap of Democracy
the ex-Representative from Baton Rouge
who spells his name in the middle, recently
assailed Nine. Massena, of the Magnolia, in
his paper, the Grand Era.
This wanton assault has brought out a
champion for the lady, a gentleman who
served with her husband in the Union
army, and he has written to Mr.. j. Henri
informing him that he must apologize in
writing or fight him under the rules of the
code. If he declines to do either of these
things, fair warning is given him by the
gentleman that he will cowhide J. Henri on
sight.
