Chamber of Commerce.

Only dozen members were present at
the meeting last evening.
Mr.. Tupper, as chairman of committee,
reported that petition from this board had
been handed to the Mayor, asking that
greater attention be given to cleansing our
public thoroughfares. No action or reply
had as yet been made.
Mr.. Haber stated that he had Just been
informed that on the first of August the
railroad from Dallas to Houston would be
finished. He also stated that Mr.. Charles
Morgan had assured him that he would
soon be prepared to give through bills of
lading to Dallas.
Mr.. Haber offered the following resolu-
ton, which was adopted
ReS0lged, That committee be appointed
to wait on Messrs. Whitney & Co. agents
for Charles Morgan, to confer with them as
to making rates of freight and giving
through bills of lading via the Morgan and
Texas railroad to Dallas, the present ter
minus Of the road, and intermediate and
adjacent stations.
1t was announced that Colonel Scott
would arrive in this city from Texas We'd
nesday evening, and that proposition had
been made to give that gentleman public
reception.
Mr.. Haber suggested that some step
should be taken to prevent the circulation
Of false reports about yellow fever in this
city.
Colonel Sandige cited several instances
where false reports had been made without
foundation.
Mr.. Haber wished a committee to confer
with the Board of Health and Mayor, that
they transmit mOrtuary reports by tele-
graph twice week or of5ener.
Mr. Sachez placed some of the blame on
our doctors and the carelessness of the
Board of Health.
A permanent committee on railroads was
appointed, composed Of Messrs. Bussey, Jo-
sephs, Black, Tupper and Sandige.
Mr.. Summers said that the Cotton Ex-
change will take charge of the reception of

governor WarmOth's Baton Rouge speech
we copy the following from the Baton
Rouge Gazette Comet:
Thursday evening last Governor War
moth addressed quite a large Assem- blage of
citizens at the courthouse square. He began
by stating that he was a Republican in prin-
eiple, but was not Radical. After review
ing briefly the mighty leaders of Radical
ism, who recently run the machine at Pixies
Theatre, he proceeded TO investigate the
causes ct their opposition to him. The facts
be stated on this point are very well known
to most of our readers-they being embodied
in his vetOes of many of the legative schemes
for plunder, in which Messrs. Packard, Ca
sey, and, in fact, nearly all the federal Office
holders we're alike interested. The Governor
stated that SO long as he kept his eyes and
ears closed to the schemes of these dema-
gOgues he was very fine fellow, but Just SO
soon as he began to pull the check rein TO curb
their plundering ambition be at once lost
their friendship and they concluded howl
for reform was necessary to GUST him and
screen themselves from the pertdies prae-
ticed which they knew would come out on
them sooner or later. He argued that so
long as the laws were administered in their
interest, those laws we're pinks of perfec-
ton in their eyes, but so soon as it was
known that the laws were going to be ad-
ministered in the interest Of Justice and
equality, they became very suddenly arbi-
trary, unjust, and sOrely needed reforma
tion. He did not hold up much of the past
legislation as wise and prudent; to the
contrary, he thought that an honorable and
intelligent body of men in our next Legis-
lature could and would give satisfaction in
that respect to the whole people, disregard
ing the lines of distinctions in politics or
race; he thought if the people would burn
their preiudices and unite under the Liberal
banner for this campaign, that at the end
of the next administration they could be
able to thank God for the good they had
done for themselves aud their posterity
by such action. His speech was
ton, at the close of which he
asserted that, for himself he had
burned his ships and was now marching
forward TO defeat a military despot and to
reunite the States of the Union so that
every one could feel that pride in American
citizenship so long and happily felt in the
glorious past. He wanted this to be a
country of freemen, with not single slave
political OF Otherwise-and he was deter
mined to do all in his power to make it
thus, which could only be done by the de-
feat of U. S. Grant and triumph Of Greeley
and Brown. For himself, he cared nothing
for political preferment, for, said he, 'if
there is one man in your State who has
tasted its sweets, and supped deeply enough
at its bitter cup that one is myself" At
the conclusion of his address Colonel Ed
w. Robertson stepped forward and moved
that the thanks Of the citizens of Baton
Rouge be rendered to Governor WarmOth
for the able and satisfactory address deliv-
cred them on this occasion. and proposed
three cheers for Governor H. G. WarmOth,
which were heartily given.

ANIMAL Exhibition at st. Peters school,
Third District.

The pupils of St. Peters and st. Pauls
public school, under the immediate charge
of the Rev. Father Cornelius MOynihan,
yesterday evening commenced their annual
exhibition, at their school rooms on Marigny
street, between Greatmen and Casaealvr
streets, which viii be continued this eve
ming. The large rooms were crowded with
a brilliant audience chiefly ladies, who
went into Iaptures over the performances
of the young ladies selected to contribute
toward the evenings entertainment.
The proceedings of the evening were
opened with the grand march, "The Image
of the Rose" which was received with i'm
mense applause.
drama in two acts, entitled "High WAYS
and By Ways, was afterward gone through
in manner most creditable TO the young
ladies engaged therein and reflected the
greatest credit on their teachers. The songs
and ballads introduced throughout the
piece were rendered very effectively. The
dialogue of figures, especially, was very en-
Enthusiastically received, and the recitation
of "The Conquered Banner" by Miss Del
phine Points, received high commendation.
This was followed by the comedy of ''Who
is to Inherit" in which some dozen of the
young lady scholars appeared to much adj
vantage. We are sorry that we have not
the space to treat of these young misses
individually as they appeared in the differ
ent characters allotted TO them, but we wish
it to be understood that they one and all
undoubtedly exhibited considerable histri
Onic talent.
Among the visitors present was noticed
the Rev. Father c. MOynihan, Rev. Father
Kenny, Sister Entychius, local Mother Su-
periOr, with several of the Marianites Sis
ters of Holy Cross.
At the close of the entertainment wreaths
Of honor were presented to the following
young ladies for general conduct and appli-
cation during the past year: Isabella Perez,
Mary Ellen Ranger, Rosa Points, Johanna
Lynch, Jennie Wheeliahan, Emily Meylor,
Delphine Points, Mary S. Points Mary S.
Stokes, Julia Ryan, Sallie Meylor, Helen
Donovan, Katie Comfort Mary Cullen,
Annie ROtO, Jennie Clarke, Maggie Power.
This evening the exhibition Of the male
department Of the same school will take
place, when a most interesting programme
will be carried through.

The decrease in the number Of distilleries

MOrgan's Louisiana and Texas Railroad

MOrgan's Louisiana and Texas Railroad
large number of mechanics have been
employed in the Morgan locomotive and car
works at Algiers for the past sixty days,
altering the trucks OF four hundred coaches
and cars from a gauge OF five feet six to
four feet eight and a half inches. Some
twenty locomotives will require the same
changes. The work of narrowing the gauge
on the main road will commence on the
twentieth instant, and be finished in about
ten days, during which time no freight will
be carried, bat the passenger travel viii not
be interrupted, journeyers being simply
transferred from the broad to the narrow
gauge train. The alteration of the HOuma
branch, the new road fifteen miles long,
running from Terrebonne to Houma will
commence at once. This costly piece of
work is undertaken by Mr. Morgan simply
to make the connection with the new road
now being built by the New Orleans, Mobile
and Texas railroad from Brasher City to
Houston.
