The spirit of Liberalism had spread like
wildfre throughout the country, uniting
| the conservative sentiment of the country
in one grand effort to redeem the admins
tration from Radical rule and personal gov
eminent. This spirit was hailed by the
people of this State as harb!nger OF peace
and honesty, uniting upon the broad plat
| form adopted at Cincinnati. The Liberal
party of Louisiana, burying past prejudices
and political animosities, sought to unite in
a common cause men of all parties who are
| now opposed to Grantism and Africaniza-
| ton.
The Greeley and Brown club which holds
| its meetings at No. $50 Julia street assem-
bled there on Thursday evening, about
ninety-six members present. The club was
called to order by Colonel r. w. James,
who, in short, stirring speech, set forth
| the duties of the hour. At the close of his
| remarks Mr. John S. Cook was elected pres
! ident of the club vice Mr.. j, +. Shansy, re
! signed. Mr.. Cook, in a characteristic speech
| of some length, reviewed the history Of the
Republican party under Grant, exhQrting
! the members of the organization to work
! faithfully for his defeat at the coming cleo
ton. The president took his seat amid the
| applause of the house. After the resignation
| of Mr.. David S, Stern had been rendered
and accepted, and Hermann Breusing had
been. elected to fill the vacancy, Mr., James
| NJ. Pratt was called upon for speech, who
| ;,Fo Aba nTuh fbat bIa
| emit political status was not fully defined.
The treasurer, Mr. Henry Dameyer, pre-
sented his report Of expenditure consequent
on the organization, and, onmOtiOn, its fur
Their consideration was laid over until next
meeting. On motion of Captain Antonio
Mareta,. the meeting adjourned until next
Monday evening at half-past seven O'Clock.
| CRIMINAL COURT.-Mr. Howard, attor-
.ney for Mrs. Jennie Bronson, asked that
the trial of his client for assailing Mrs.
Holbrook be continued. AS there was no
| objection raised the case was postponed,
and will probably not come up until early
next winter. Messrs. CastellanOs, Gastinel
and Schmidt have joined Mr.. Howard for
the defense.
Sarah Firby was convicted of stealing
goods worth 500 from Mr.. G. Morel.
George Warren goes up to the Peniten-
tiary for six months for stealing pair Of
| pantalOons.
Lizzie Ellison was convicted of a battery.
A LovING HUsBAND.-David Thompson
is so exceedingly fond of the partner of his
Joys and sorrows, that he could not resist
bleeding her, although he performed the
service roughly. Meeting Hannah on the
corner of. Julia and Magazine streets yes
terday morning, he playfully attempted to
make her an angel by slashing a shining
razor into her body. She Directing to a sud
ded funeral, quickly resisted. which caused
the blade to glide smoothly through the
| feshy part of her right arm, inficting a
! bloody wound about ten inches long. Han
nah was sent to a drug store, corner of
! Baronne and GirOd streets, where her mis-
| cry was washed and bandaged. David,
failing to make himself widower, retired
with great speed, but justice will certainly
| Overtake the brute before a hundred years
passes by Hannah mildly. asserts that she
can not even guess why David should at
tempt to kill her, but there are people who
think that she might make a clearer state
ment. Hannah is right in trying to hide
domestic infelicity.
AssAULT.-At ten o'clock Thursday night
an unknown person suddenly assaulted Felix
Forstall at the corner of Dauphine and
Hospital streets, beating him with a cane,
which he grabbed from the hand of blind
man who stood near. When the stranger
got through with his pounding he retired,
leaving Mr.. Forstall badly worsted.
HOMICIDE is not always so dull
as it looks, and when an opportunity pre-
sents itself some of the inhabitants are
tolerably lively. Last Sunday L. Leddy,
ex-foreman OF Brooklyn Fire Company,
was stabbed by Thomas Mccormack, pres
ent foreman of the company. Teddy died
Thursday, and so great was the excitement
that an attempt was made to prevent COro-
ner Creagh and DR.. Ames holding an au-
topsy and investigation. The absurdity of
such a course was shown them, and to-day
an inquest will be held, when it is probable
all the facts will be gathered. Mccormack
is in prison.
DEATH IN PRIsoN.-Bolts and bars on
prison doors are no obstacles to the grim
visitor. He glided. into the Parish Prison
Thursday night, when all was silent, and
sent his terrible shaft into John Ross, alias
John Dimitry, who was incarcerated on a
conviction of larceny committed on the
Fair Grounds. Hiding the failing of steal
ing, he was regarded as a good jolly fellow,
always ready to divide his last dollar with
those who stood in great need of it.
e
AT HALFMAsT.-The flag hanging over
the gallery of the Grant and Wilson head
quarters was hoistcd at half-mast yester-
day-probably on account Of the news from
North Carolina.
SOLID MEMS CLUD.-The members OF
this club are requested to be at their hall,
No. l66 Common street, this evening at six
O'clock, to receive their uniforms and pre-
pare for the grand parade. A tir5t-claSs
