BUSBYIsM.
Meeting OF the Germans at Turner
Hall Last Might.


Handbills we're circulated throughout
the city yesterday calling a meeting Of
Germans at the Turner Hall for the pur-
pose Of hearing the candidates crate.
BY eight o'clock about fifty citizens as
sembled in the hall. Mr.. +. W. Louis
was elected chairman Of the meeting and
Mr.. NJ. Sehilhng secretary. Major BUS
by was introduced and delivered short
speech, and wound up by asking the
Germans TO vote for him. He would not
shut up beer gardens on Sunday, he was
no Know-Nolhing aud was the candidate
of no party. He advised the Germans
to vote for the best man. If they
thought League was better man they
should then vote for League.
Colonel Turner followed the Major in
a lengthy speech, showing why he was
supporting the Basby ticket-because,
twenty years ago, Major Busby rem
dered him personal service and help
when he was 10 need. Colonel Turner
ranted considerably, and sloshed about
for half an hour on the sea Of oratory.
He claimed that the LEDGER was a
League organ, under the rule that all
who are not for me are against me.
The Colonel talked for buncombe, and
was so understood by the meeting.
Ed Shaw, candidate for Wharimaster
made sensible speech, showing up the
Busby ring in its true colors. He asked
the votes of all citizens, and remarked:
81 have never seen a white candidate
yet too proud or heightened to ask a
negro to vote for him"
General W. j. Smith introduced Col.
Dyer to the meeting, and that gentle
man pitched into the Busby ring in
lively style.
1t was remarked by those who were
in attendance that neither Major Busby
or his orators had word to say for
Locke or Rogers, the candidates for Tax
Collector and Wharfmaster. 1t would
not do in a German meeting to oppose
Fred Schaper, the nominee for Tax Col
lector on the League ticket. OF the
fifty Germans present at the meeting
not more than dozen we're advocates
of the election of Major Busby. The
meeting was conducted in a most orderly
manner, and closed at a late hour.

MONEY.


Business in financial circles exhibited
very little animation this morning. The
money market is working easy, with an
increased demand for currency to move
the cotton crop. Bankers continue to
use all their surplus currency in moving
cotton. The discount market is working
close, with the rates of interest uE-
changed. Exchange is in fair supply at
the following rates: On New York &c dis
count, Boston and Eastern points &c off
for demand and &c for sight, and New
Orleans 3c off. Brokers are offering 100
for gold, with few transactions. City
warrants and bonds remain dull and
nominal County warrants and State
indebtedness continue quiet, with little
demand. There is little or nothing doing
in railroad stocks or bonds or Mississippi
and Arkansas securities.
