Orleans Club.
This body, composed mainly of market
men, a majority of whom have never been
naturalized, but propose to be at the next
election, met last evening at Carroll Hall,
| on POydras street. They are somewhat at
sea, politically, but having run across Judge
E. T. FellOwes, Mr.. Frank McGloin and Ar
| thur Gastinel, they listened to the syren's
voice and chose to adopt the last ditch as
their abiding place. They may seek wiser
| advisers one of these days, and when they
do, the whisper Of that advice will be, pay
out no more money to lawyers for trying to
| defy the laws.
jackson Railroad, Second Ward, Demo-
cratic Club.
Mr.. A. j. Fitzpatrick with a zeal and
energy worthy of better cause, has or
ganized club at the corner of Calliope
and Clara streets, near the old jackson
railroad depot, in the interest of the 'for-
lOrn hope that is, the McEnery and Jonas
ticket Last evening the regular weekly
meeting of the club was held, and some
fifty persons graced it with their attend
ance. Addresses were made by Mr.. c. Rod
ney May and Judge H. D. Ogden. The re-
marks of Mr.. May created a decided I'M
preston among his listeners. He spoke of
executive, judicial and legislative corrup-
ton, and played the usual dOlefuI tune
about carpet-bag robberies. Most of his
auditors however, remembered that he was
a member of the Legislature of 1863 and
che knew how it was himself'-and so did
they. Judge Ogden's remarks were appre-
ciated by his listeners, and were greeted
with frequent applause.
|. Democratic Broom Rangers.
Last night there was a numerous attend
anCe of the Democratic Broom Rangers
club at their headquarters, in the rotunda
of the st. Louis Hotel, President A. L.
Tissot in the chair. Club business being
transacted, the meeting was addressed at
some length by Mr.. COnnOrs, representative
of the second congressional district of
Texas. The speaker throughout his ad-
dress inveighed in bitter terms against
President Grant, with his tyranical and ar
bitrary administration, designating him as
the modern Caesar, who had taken away
the peoples liberties and trodden them un-
der his feet.
During his visit to the Northwest he, the
speaker, had found men such as TrumbuH,
Blair and others who had the good Of the
country at heart, who had already fought
gallantly in conjunction with the Demo-
cratic party to relieve the Union from un-
der the thrall Of the tyrant Grant, who did
not even promise them any reform in the
future, should be elected for a second term,
but merely referred them to his record OF
the past, and, in the name of God, what
was that record of the past? 1t was mar
tial law in North Carolina, and suspension
of the writ of habeas corpus, with which
no citizens liberty was in safety.
Mr.. Carlton Hunt made speech Of some
length, deprecating in strong terms the
course pursued by the present administra-
ton, and advocating the cause of Greeley
and Brown.
Arrangements having been made toward

pose of receiving a banner, the meeting ad-
