THINGS IN GENERAL.
JACK ASHORE.

and there are few people that blame him 70,
enjoying himself after his own peculiar fash.
ion as long as he does not overstep the
bounds of propriety, which he sometimes
does, and then the moral support Of those
who do not condemn is withdrawn, and Jacks
sport is looked upon with anything but favor.
Some of the sailors connected with the war
vessels lying in front Of the city, taking their
| cue no DOUBT from the commander-in-chief
of the army and navy of the rebelious De-
partment of Louisiana, S. B. Packard, evil
IDENTIFY look upon this town as conquered
and captured city, the inhabitants Of which
are worthy of any such treatment as the cap
tors and victors see fit to bestow upon them.
There are two instances on record in which
these men have while under the influence Of
liquor invaded private residences, and on
being ordered out have not only refused to
60, but ut the same time heaped insult and
abuse upon persons connected with the
houses.
These valiant tars also on occasions become
possessed of an insane idea OF their own
prowess, and it is not an unfrequent sight to
see one of these beligerent individuals steady
ing himself by = lamp post and announcing
himself as spelling tor fight, and daring
passers-by in language more forcible than
eloquent to come on. OF course these things
are merely the effects of the bad liquor of the
town which makes the toilers of the sea dis
play their true instincts, but then they are
not nice, and until Jnck can learn to behave
himself ashore, for the credit of the service
he had better be kept aboard.
HOW MUCH?
The question which is agitating the public
mind just now, is how much did Field get, by
way OF fee, (of course, nobody intimates that
he got anything by way OF anything else) for
that very learned and logical opinion on the
Second District Court question. There are a
good many guesses rs to the amount, and it is
on this alone that public interest centers, for
no one doubts that Field got paid for it; he is
not in the habit Of doing things through mo-
tives of patriotism.
LOCKED IN.
Kellogg now considers it absolutely neces-
sary to bolt and double-bar the door which
shuts him from the masses.
1t must be some of his retainers or party
masters whose intrusion he fears, for no one
else spends valuable time in calling on him.
MASS MEETING IN THE ELEVENTH WARD.
There was rousine and enthusiastic assem-
blage OF about 5000 residents Of the rear por-
were some 200 colored voters, gathered at the

nations made by the Peoples and Conserva-

their sympathy. After which Messrs. James
Lingan, Chas. Kummel, F. Jorger. c. Forno
and colored man named Vim. Wells, ad-

JOHN GAIR RISES TO EXPLAIN.
We have received the following communion
ton from John Gair:
CLINTON, La, Oct. %, 1874.
To Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
l see in your paper Of Oct. 21 an article !
headed Radical Politics, and two letters from |
Harrison and Jarreau. / say that both those
gentlemen's letters are false; never offered
either of them cent nor authorized it to be |
done.
l have no doubt in my mind but the same
means was used to procure the letters of Har-
rison and Jarreau as was used to procure their
votes in the esatorial Convention for Breaux,
as Breauxs letter to Weber, of Sept 3, four
days after the convention, will show. This is
another trick of Weber, Breaux and Company,
to mislead the public, and taking he adv ant
age Of l being wounded and not able to leave |
my bed room.
I hope my friends will not allow themselves
to be imposed upon by any such lies as are
in the letters OF Harrison and jar
reau.
No man in the community in which I live
can point to any discreditable act of mine,

and raised in this town, and no one can soy
to the contrary.
hope that the public will not consider me
upon an equality with Breaux's hirelings
would be glad at any time to give, through
The columns of your paper, to the public,
full and correct statement of how the Twelfth
Senatorial Convention was manipulated by E.
L. Weber, better known as systematic black
mailer.
Yours truly, JOHN GA1R
