The Levee Club-Crgani8ariOn at Riiey's
Hall.

An organization Of the Levee Club was
effected last night at Rfeys, corner Of Dry
AIDES and Common streets, under the follow
ing circumstances
Judge A. B. Sloanaker, president of the
Parish Executive Committee, called to or
der the assemblage, and subsequently Cap
tain George L. Norton was elected presi-
dent by reclamation.
In announcing the principles of the Lib
eral party, Judge E. North CullOm said
there was scarcely man who would re-
fuse to be called liberal as distinguished
from ultra and extreme, which had proved
the ruin of the country, and looked upon
the present widespread enthusiasm with
which the Cincinnati platform and its can
didates were received as proof that the
American people were tired of the extreme
radicalism inaugurated by Grant, where
bayonets superseded the expression Of the
peoples will.
When Judge SIOanaker had described
the Cincinnati movement and the causes
which led to the immense gathering at this
great Western city, the remainder OF the
meeting, who had been delayed, arrived,
and the rooms were too small to hold them.
The body Of the gathering was made up
of men who work along the levee day by
day, and were of that class who work for
their living-the producers of the common
wealth. They elected viva vOce Demo
cratic fashion, the following list Of officers;
President, George L. Norton; vice presi-

The selection of officers was consum-
mated in the midst of great good humor,
no candidate for the several offices being
permitted to decline, and all proceedings
being conducted with cheerluIness and
good feeling.
This club was organized with the proviso
that in case the National Democratic Con
veption failed to indorse Greeley and Brown
thew should be permitted to withdraw.
They we're Democrats, who were liberal
enough to drop all past issues, and ignoring
mast differences, unite with all parties to
nut down the corruptions Of Office and
ofieehOlders.

the action of the State Convention presided over
by the Hon H. J Campbell. in its efforts to bring
about harmony in the ranks Of the Republicans Of

Of cur State.

tinue nine successive days.

The Madison Journal is in mourning for
the death of Mr.. George D. Towne, son of
the editor of that journal, who died two
days after the occurrence of the accident
reported as follows:
Mr. George D. Towne, while running his
saw mill, near this Office, last Thursday af
ternoon, was the victim of sad and prOba-
bly, fatal accident. lie had finished saving
the slab off one side of a log, and had run
the carriage back with the intention of
turning. While endeavering to pass be-
tween the end of the log and the circular
saws lit is double saw to carry out his
purpose, the saw caught his pants, throw
ing him on it with great force, he happily
saving his life by throwing himself off with
his horribly maDgled left arm.
The feshy part of his left leg is badly
torn from the knee to near the ankle, and
two arteries are severed two teeth of the
saw also took effect above the knee the
fleshy part of the left arm, below the elbow,
is very badly cut and one artery severed.
He was Immediately conveyed home, and
DR.. Clarke sent for, who sewed up the
wounds, and everything possible done for
his relief.
Mr.. E. B. TOwne, the father, was absent
when the accident occurred, and at the
time of his sons death.

Mr.. Walton, however, says, and there is
reason to believe such VIII be the case, that
very large proportion of these licenses
will never be returned to those who paid
them, owing to the loss of license receipts
on their part, or a reluctance to enter into
litigation for the recovery of the smaller
licenses, which constitutes a very large
part of the aggregate.

A permanent location for the insane asy-
lum has not yet been selected, but num-
Der Of the Administrators seem disposed to
favor the purchase Of the old Louisiana
race course, on GENTLY Road. The $50
acres are offered for $I2jOOO, or portion
of it at a proportionate rate. The Admin
istrators of Public Buildings and Assess
ments pronounce it the highest ground in
the city.
In few days the bids for extending the
Waterworks will be opened. 1t is proposed
to do away with the reservoirs, and by a
new and improved machinery. to pump
water directly into the pipes. After the ex
tension of the pipes into the Fourth and
Sixth Districts, it is thought that water can
be forced into the second stories of dwell
ings.
Complaint is made that the freplug i'm
mediately opposite the first precinct station
is being continually used by eabmen, fog
washing and watering their horses.

It was long ago the wish of the numerous
friends. of Colonel James Lewis that he
should become a candidate for Congress,
and in order to secure at least one cOlOred
man for the position, the second congress
siOnal district offered the best chance, as it
was supposed the district will poll Repub-
hcan majority of 5000.
But behold the cunning of the Custom
house fraternity. General L. A. Sheldon, the
man who had been twice returned for the
same position, has to be taken care of, and
the colored man must be sacrificed. The
second district would postpone its nOmina-
tions to later date, aud to CarrolltOn, and
the colored delegates must make haste to
secure place for the man of their choice
and therefore he must be nominated for the
State at large. Upon such fimsy pretext
the doubtful nomination of Colonel Lewis
was secured, while his more favored com
petitOr secured the surest place. Who will
say that we have not special friends in

The tidings come to the San Antonio En-
press, by way of Fredericksburg, that Gen
eral Mckenzie with two other officers and a
detachment of twelve men, while on his
wav back to his command from the general
military conference at San Antonio with
General Augur, was surprised by war
party of savages from Fort Belknap and
peterborough. The General fell at the first
fire, and only three men Of his csc Ort es-
capped. The bodies of the slain were mutt
lated with horrible Outrages.
The news is brought by Mr.. Loexher, OF
Fredericksburg, who was hid in the bushes
near by, and was an eve witness OF the
whole affair. General Mckenzie Is known
as one of the best Indian fighters in the
army. and at the time of his death was
about to take command Of a great expedi-
ton against the sayages.
The news needs confirmation.
