Organization of a Greeley and Brown
French Club-GSFeat EnIhusiasm-FOur
Hundred Strong.
Pursuant to call, large number Of the
French population, fully 400 strong, met
last evening at the Eagle coffee saloon, No.
II Madison street, Second District, for the
purpose of organizing Greeley and Brown
club for the campaign. Great enthusiasm
prevailed, which plainly indicated that the
spirit which is sweeping the country for
the great movement for Horace Greeley has
also taken possession Of the French popula-
ton of New Orleans.
The meeting was called to order by Mr.
John j. Maggioli, who, in a few pointed re-
marks. explained the object of the meeting.
He then nominated Mr.. j. NJ. Fondard as
president, who was unanimously elected.
Mr.. FOndard, on taking the chair, was
greeted with enthusiastic applause, and the
well-chOsen and spirited remarks he sub
mitted were most warmly received He
spoke of the duty which the French popu-
lation of Louisiana owed themselves in the
great crisis of the hour, and that he was
gratifed that the efforts, mainly inaugu-
rated by Mr.. Maggioli, in arousing the
French population to. a sense Of their duty,
gave the most promising assurance of sue
cess. He approved most heartily of the
movement. Other nationalitiGs were NOV
ing in bodies, and he did not see Why the
French should not do likewise Let the
good work go on, and all rally to the sup
port of the great general revolution of the
day, and the election of Greeley and Brown.
Mr.. Ernest Gauthier was then elected
secretary, and Mr.. John j. Maggioli CORE
spending secretary,
Both of these gentlemen returned their
thanks for the honor, and expressed them
selves heartily enlisted in the objects of the
organization of the club.
A recess of twenty minutes was then
taken in order to allow the attaching of
signatures to the roll of the club, and, upon
examination, it was found that 225 members
affixed their names last evening.
All necessary officers, such as marshals,
assistant marshals, etc, were appointed,
and the club in all respects completely Or
ganized.
The club then adjourned, subject to a call
of the president, the large concOurse retir-
ing in the best of spirits.

General Banks Declares for Greeley.


One of the most sagaciOus politicians in
Massachusetts is General n. P. Banks, who
represents the Middlesexr congressional dis
trict, which embraces much of the wealth
and intelligence of the old Bay State.
General Banks scents political danger from
afar, as he did in 1854, when he repudiated
the Democratic party that had previously
elected him to Congress, and precipitated
himself into the ranks of those who op-
posed the Kansas-Nebraska or Missouri
compromise repeal bill, as passed by Con
gress, then a pet measure of Senator
Douglas.
Congressman Banks carried majority of
his constituents with him then, and he was
reelected without the aid of the Demo
cratic party. 1t is very significant of com
ing events, at least in his own congressional
district, when General Banks, over his own
signature, declares for Greeley. 1t shows
that the revolution is sweeping the country.
Declaring for Greeley is in order.
The full text of the letter of General
Banks, repudiating Grant and declaring for
Greeley, was received in our Associated
Press dispatches at an early hour this
morning. 1t will be read with interest by
all the people of the country.

THE tLITTLE BACK ROOM" UNDERACLOUD
The Delegates and How They Feel

The St. Charles Hotel was all ablaze last
night, such a crowd not having been seen
within its capacious rotunda, halls and par
! Iors for long while. But for the heat it
might have been taken for a midwinter
gathering, and the high spirits and great
! good humOr which prevailed seemed to in
! dicate the pursuit of pleasure at that merry
season rather than an assembling for the
| gravest and most momert1us of political
duties. This state Of feeling is attributable
to the unanimity Of sentiment which is
found to prevail among delegates upon ex-
changing views, and the confidence that
success will attend Their efforts to reform
the State, which is thus inspired.
In marked contrast to the brilliant lights,
the jostlng crowds and resounding voices
| in the palIors used for Liberal headquaT-
| ters was the darkened, dead and d-serted
aspect Of the last ditch concern just oppo-
site. At these so-caIled Democratic" head
| quarters not a sound was heard, not light
was to be seen, not solitary individual
was visible. Doubtless the Ditchers had
gone home dFgusted with the unmistak-
able signs of defeat which we're thrust be-
fore their eyes.
The list of delegates already registered
at the hotel is given below, and as will be
seen includes many of the most prominent
and influential citizens OF the State. 1t is
generally asserted that as a representative
body, and for intelligence, ability and re-
spectabiity the Liberal convention will be
the superior of any similar gathering which
ever occurred in Louisiana. Selfish ambi-
tions do not seem to Obtrude upon the
anxious desire of the delegates to win for
their new party glorious triumph, and the
prospects are that past animosities will be
promptly sunk, wherever they clash with
the ability of candidate to best promote
the success of the patriotic cause in which
they are all enlisted.
The Central Committee has issued the
following:
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-08-02
DecIined for the Present.

One Wharton, who signs himself special
agent of the Postoffice Department, has
sent us note and form of blank appended
below. As this is something entirely new
to one who has had more than quarter of
a century's experience in journalism, we
shall most respectfully decline to accept
Mr.. Wharton's polite invitation, even though
required by law" We have never seen
nor heard of law requiring a man to swear
at stated intervals that he has not been a
law breaker, We are presumed to be inno
cent of attempting to cheat Uncle Sans
postal service; but if Mr.. Wharton thinks
the presumption violent one, let him
make his charge and bring on his proofs
We certainly do not feel disposed to make
oath to fact generally believed by this
community, that the New Orleans Repub-
lican Printing Company has not been pecu-
lating to the extent of a two-cent postage
stamp or two:

Has Mr. Lasere received Mr.. Schell's let
teri If SO, why don't he report the fact
and tell the people what he and his Ditch
ers are going to do about it. His organ. the
Picayune, admits that it is an order, and it
comes from the highest Democratic au
thority in the land. OF course the st.
Charles street conclave do not like this or
der, for it is virtually command to pull
down their private shingle and 60 into the
new partnership. Will they obey, or set
up rebellion on a small scale If the lat
ter. let Mr.. Lasere issue his pronuncia-
mento. This Is time for showing true

A Radical dispatch states that Michigan
viii be carried by the GRANTEES, 10000 be-
ing set down as the assured majority.
Per contra, we have cOuversed with a
gentleman of high standing in this com
munity, a native of Michigan, and a strong
Republican, who has just been through the
State, and who expresses profound surprise
at the change in public sentiment. Hardly
one of his old friends, nearly all of whom
were originally for Grant, but now warmly
advocate Greeley's election, and the revo-
luton, to one not witness, he declares to
be simply incredible. The State will surely
cast her vote for the Liberal nominees.
This same gentleman, whose opinions are
not lightly formed, thinks that Grant viii
get regular Waterloo defeat.

that they select gentlemen whose word is
unimpeachable to make a count at various

and all the various other causes combined,
