Third District Alive for Greeley-En-
1husiastic Meeting of the District
Campaign Cuba Permanent and
Final Organization Ehected-White
and COlOred Voters HarmOnizing-
All Nationalities CemmingIing.
An adjourned meeting of the Third Dis
trict Greeley Campaign Club was held last
evening at eight O'Clock, in the hall on
Spain street, near Love. The chair was
occupied by President Armstrong, who,
after calling the meeting to order, said that
he was pleased at so large an assemblage,
especially such an increase from the Demo
cratic party as was indicated in this meet
ing as supporters of Greeley and Brown,
and in view of these circumstances, as an
earnest on his part to harmonic all ele-
ments, he respectfully resigned his Office as
president, as he was not the right man in
the right place.
WhereupOn he called Judge Sloanaker to
the chair, who, on stepping upon the plat
form, was received with rounds of ap-
plause. After quiet was restored the judge
good humoredly said that he had no speech
to make, for the action of the retiring presi-
dent indicated to him that this club meant
business And thereon the club proceeded
to elect all its permanent officers, which
were selected from the Democratic and
Republican party equally, and from among
the Irish, German, French and Creole, as
well as the colored and white citizens resid-
ing in the district, under the presidency of
William c. Kinsella, Esq, who was unani-
mousIy elected president Of the Greeley
Club, on motion of William G. Green.
4 resolution was adopted authorizing the
president to appoint an executive commit
tee of three from each ward in the district,
and to be comprised Of one each from the
Democratic, Republican and colored citi-
zens, who are empowered to organize ward
Greeley clubs throughout the district.
On motion, Carroll Hall was selected as
the permanent headquarters of tie
club, the same having been pre-
viously generously rendered without
expense by NJ. Carroll, Esq, in person, who
is one of the most prominent Democrats in
this district, and who said to the meeting
that he was for the success of this move
ment, regardless Of consequences, believing
that the time had come for old things to be
put away and new things to be embr aced
by all classes of citizens who desire the
welfare of the republic.
Speeches were made by Judges Sloanaker,
Phillips and others, and the meeting ad-
journed amid great enthusiasm.

DiscnssiOn-Night Session of the Sem
ate-LOuisiana Report.
WASHINGTON, May HouSe-The con-
ference report upon refunding the taxes on
spirits when the latter have been destroyed
passed.
The conference report on giving a double
subsidy to the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany passed. 1t was amended so that the
steamers shall be entirely of American
construction.
An amendment requiring that the New
York and Panama Steamship Line be main
tanned was adopted.
The House is in session tonight on for
eign affairs.
The committee sent to New Orleans last
February will, it is said merely report the
facts as to the political complications there,
but make no recommendations, there being
nothing upon which Congressional action
can be based.
Senate.-The discussion of Ku-Klux mat
ters occupied most Of the day.
Mr. Carpenter, from the Committee on
Judiciary reported without amendment q
bill to amend the bankruptcy act by substi-
tuting 'l87l" for 1864" in the first prOvisO
of the fourteenth section; also, with amend
ments, Mr.. Trumbull's bill amendatory of
section thirty three of the bankruptcy act.
During the Ku-KluX discussion in the
Senate to-day Mr.. Alcorn said that North
ern men have become since the war, citi-
zens bona fide of Mississippi, taking stock
in the sympathies and interests of our
people. These are among the elite Of the
Republican party. Others have come into
the State, sojOurners as long as they hold
office. Their tenure of office will end as it
began, with repulsiOns of race. Like thieves
who set fire to a house, they have come to
infame in order to steal NY colleague
representing nothing in Mississippi save
these agents of hate, stands here a stumbling
block to repose and concord. He knows no
restraint of the representative; he is not
citizen of the State; he has never cOntri-
buted dollar to her taxes; he is not Identi-
fed with her by even technical residence;
he blackens her character by misrepresenta-
ton; six murders at Meridian he tortures
into ten; the murders of negroes in the
State he distorts into hundreds; eighteen
murders on the records for three months he
exaggerates into sixty-three; the fOrty-fve
assassinatiOns which he thus commits in the
presence of the Senate concur with the mis-
representations which the carpet-bag incen-
diaries make, and assign as a reason why
they ought to shape the Ku-Klux bill to
their designs of irritation and hate.
A Union soldier, identified with us by
residence, citizenship and interest, Gov
ernor Powers declared three months ago,
let his previous testimony be what it may,
that the condition of Mississippi was peace,
and he still confrOnts the assertions of my
colleague when stating in this letter that so
late as the fifteenth of May peace reigned
throughout all her borders.
1870 p. M.--Senate still engaged on Ku-
Klux. The speaking favOrs continuing the
suspension of the writ of habeas corpus.

Grnnd Industrial Exposition.

Exposition Hall last night was thronged
with the fashion and beauty Of the city,
and many private carriages were drawn up
at the entrances, awaiting the pleasure of
those who came in them to witness the at
fractions of the first Grand Industrial Ex-
position.
Within a few days large addition has
been made to the goods on exhibition, and
the hall is now a perfect promenade Of
spiendor and magnifcence. We hope it
will not be closed this season, it is such a
nice place for people to pass an hour or two
either in the evening or during the day.
Admission only twenty-five cents. Jaeger's
band and delicious music.

THE CITY HALL.

shortly advertise for bids on the contract
for renumbering the houses in the city.
1t has been suggested that during the hot
weather, the removal of the rear doors from
the city railroad cars would be a great i'm
provement, and render all of them much
cooler.
Complaint has been made that several
immense holes at the intersection of Canal
and Claiborne streets are not surrounded by
ratings, and that, in consequence, passen-
gers are liable to drive or walk into them
any dark night.
proposition has been made to the Ad
ministrator of Police, by Messrs. II. M
Isaacson & Co, to erect warehouse for
the storage of petroleum, and charge deal
ers twenty five cents per barrel for the first
month and ten cents per case. What has
delayed the introduction of the ordinance
has been the absence of bids, and the meas
pre will probably be now introduced in the
Council.
A delegation from the Firemen's Charita-
BILE Association ask permission to dispose
of the hand engines now owned by the as
sociation and exchange them for steamers.
The Administrators offer no objection to
the exchange, but will probably decline to
make any appropriation to meet the addi-
tional expense.
A fire plug at the st. Bernard Market has
been metamorphosed into town pump.
The long continued dry weather has emp
tied many cisterns, and a large number of
families are wholly dependent upon fire
plugs for water. A plug upon Canal street.
between Marais and IRENE, has been run
ming night and day for several days, and
much water is wasted.

The election of bishops in the General
Methodist Episcopal Assembly is progress
inc by ballot and is a tedious affair. Dr.
SIacer said that thirty years ago, at the
election of bishops, there had been ballot
shifting He hoped, if such thing was dis
covered here, the vote would be taken over
again. An Indiana delegate demanded that
the laity and clergy vote for bishops be
taken separately. The motion for a separate
vote was lost. Tremendous cheering. A
delegate called attention to the dem0nstra-
tiOns of the audience, and moved that the
galleries be cleared. Kisses from the gal
leries. Bishop Ames asked the police, il
there were any present, to clear the gale
ries. During the absence of the tellers. the
Book Concern was discussed further.
Only three bishops were elected-W. A.
Harris, Central Ohio; r. S. Foster, New
York, and Thomas Boreman, Iowa. Those
lacking majoriUies were: Peck, Wiley, FOss,

The above conversation disclosed some
facts about this business, which shows that
the grain current has, unawares to the peo-
pie, actually set in, and it is already in
creasing in volume from day to day.
The parties operating here now do not
seem to be very communicative fact,
they are much more inclined to buy or sell
than to say anything about how much clear
money they are making, but there is an air
of confidence about them that is truly re-
