Editor N. O. Bulletin:
Your journal of this date contains sug
gestion from "White League" which reads
that an association of young men is about
being formed for the same purpose" In an
swer to this, l beg to state that our ASSOCIATION
is not about being formed but has already
been organized, our officers elected and COM
mttees appointed to canvass the different in
stitutions and each street of the entire city.
Therefore, you see we are somewhat ahead OF
the ladies in this matter, as they, we are told,
cannot organize themselves into monument
al association until their meeting, which takes
place in the early part OF December.
However, setting this fact aside, we have
concluded to act not sin subordination to the
Ladies Association as White League sug-
gests. but in concert with them. In further
ance Of this object we appointed committee
to wait on the ladies and confer with them.
We trust ere many days to enlighteH White
League as well as the public as to the proceed
ings of this conference. In the meanwhile
White League may rest assured we Shall act
as much as possible in conjunction with the
ladies' and trust they will be as successful in
raising subscriptions for the monument rs we
have reason to believe we WILL
| The young men are working with VIM
which seems indeed glorious to an observer.

| In behalf of the association, l tender White
League and the public ingeneral an invitation
to attend meeting, to be held at n Caron-
delet street, second floor, on Wednesday even

evening to 10 the fair thing by new acqaint-

an honored name. Now, it occurred to our
friends of No. -, that they would not have to
move far to secure cognomen, bearing which
the horse might live, and be justly proud.
Hence it was that the ever genial Dan Owens
was elected to give to the animal his name and
in contradistinction they call him Jolly Dan

A CHICKEN THIEF SHOT.

For some time past the rear of the Third
Ward has been raided by set Of thieves.
whose nightly visits to hen roosts and store
rooms have at one and the same time been
the cause of serious annoyance, to use mild
word, and loss The Police Board, it would
seem, considers the neighborhood the legiti-
mate stamping ground of the thieving faith
full, and that the presence Of policeman
thereabout was calculated to interfere with
their peculiar style of getting living. The
citizens, however, have got tired Of support
ing them, and with the determination to put
stop to the depredations Of the thieves
have organized patrols, and it all the squads
do their work as well as the one that was on
duty on Monday night did, there will soon be
cessation Of operations, and in all probability
decrease in the Radical vote in the ward.
At late hour on Monday night, negro
was discovered in the yard of a premises on
Cypress street, between Willow and Clara.
| Mr.. r. Moran and another gentleman entered
and seized him, but after a desperate struggle
he succeeded in getting away, and taking to
the fence of an empty house next. The rest
| of the patrol had by this time come up, and
they opened on the lover OF pot-pie with such
effect that it was found necessary for his
| friends to take him to the Hospital for the
purpose of having attended to some half dozen
ugly aad dangerous holes in his back, made
by balls from the guns and pistols.
The mans name was Jno. Davis, and 1t is
safe to assert that if he ever RECEIVERS he will
let the chicken-houses Of other people alone.
At a late hour last night our reporter visited
the Charity Hospital and there learned that
John Davis was sinking fast. Mr. John
Luddy, who shot the thief, surrendered him
self at the First Precinct, and was rernanded
by Judge Macarthur to the Parish Prison, to

A DAY'OF REJOICING.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. q This has been
day of great rejoicing. There is an immense
concourse Of people In the city. There was
fine military display.
Coy Houston, in the course of his inaugural
address, said:
ssWith firm determination to respect and main
tain my oath OF office, which shall be seal to my
conscience, l unhesitatingly undertake to per-
form such duties as 1t imposes, and viii regard
it as one OF my highest and most sacred obliga-
tons to see that the laws are faithfully executed
and the rights of all citizens, without regard to
race, color or previous condition, duly guarded
and protected.
"Let this occasion inspire the conviction that
we live in the land OF liberty, regulated by law;
without which the citizen would be insecure
against domestic discord OF violence, and that
our duty to preserve such laws in their constitu-
tional purity and power should not and cannot be
avoided"
He said we must restore the credit OF the
State to its former high and honorable position,
preserve inviolate her good faith, and at the
same time protect her people against excessive
and unjust taxation. All citizens of Alabama
truly desire peace and the perfect restoration OF
fraternal relations between all sections OF our
common country.
They are loyal to the Government of the Uni
ted States aad will readily yield cheerful obedi-
ence to its authority and laws. They only ask to
be permitted under the Constitution and laws OF
the country to exercise and secure from unwar-
rantable interference, the right OF just and legal
self government. The national colors were con-
spicuous ID the procession.

Last night this town was visited by tornado,

made to your Excellency for immediate relief by
an order for a supply OF rations and I am au-

FROM HAVANA.

New YORK, Nov. 24.-A letter from Havana,
party of twenty-five Spanish soldiers of the artil
iery garrisoning Fort st. Hario. in the Central
Department, revolted, seized coasting vessel at
Puerto del Padre ON the North coast, and under
threats of death forced the captain OF the vessel
to get under way, ordering him to take them to
Key West, ST. Thomas, or any Of the neighboring
islands.
The CAPTAIN, seeming to accede to their
wishes, weighed anchor and set sail, but ran the
vesse! aground on a neighboring key. He then
Jumped into a small boat and under the pretext
of getting aid, went to the nearest military head
quarters and informed the commander, who sent
a force Of men to arrest the d. serters. They
were tried by court martial, and on the 9th inst
eleven of them were shot, and the remaining
fourteen imprisoned.

THE WEST AND SOUTH.

The RlchmOnd (Sa.) wing OF the Iotn
inst. contains an article headed ''Ihe West
and South" in which closer union between
these two sections is advocated. SO that the
West AMI South may act together, not only
upon questions of sectional interest, but also
upon the great national questions which must
inevitably arise soon in the Federal legislation,
affecting the industrial progress and prosperity
of the country as we'll as the political rights
and privileges of the people. There is great
force in the argument OF the Wing, and there
is great necessity for such a mutual under
standing between the West and South, because
the interests of the two are in many respects
Identical and, as the Wing says, 'in the
nature of things, they must and will work
together"
There are some points in which the West is
all ready to meet the South and work in con-
cert with her. The West is ready to act with
the South in demanding a revenue tariff which
shall relieve the people of the onerous tax
upon the necessities OF life, and at the same
time shall be sufficient to support the Gov
eminent and maintain its credit. The West
is ready to act with the South in demanding
sound, stable and convertible currency in suf-
ficient quantity for the Legitimate needs of
the country, so as to remove the damage
which is now occasioned to business by the
fluctuations in value, and the necessity I'M
Specializing upon these vslues before they can
make contracts, thus introducing dangerous
element OF uncertainty into all kinds OF busi-
ness
The Wing, however. is mistaken in saying
"They are both sick of hard times, and are
therefore sick of hard money" The West is
sick of hard times, and is therefore in favor Of
hard money 1t wants currency brought up
to the gold value, SO that business may be
placed upon firm and secure basis. There
is another reform in which the West stands
ready to meet the South. The agricultural
interests Of these two crest sections are iden-
teal The West raises the grain, the South
the cotton, of the country, and both are
equally interested in getting their products to
the seaboard as cheaply as possible.
The present cost Of transportation OF the
products both of the South and West eats up
half the profits and lays ruinous tax upon
the industry Of the farmer and the planter.
The West, therefore, is ready to meet the
South in urging upon Congress the Importance
of improving the national highways so as to
regulate and control railroad monopoies and
prevent their exactions upon the producers.
In these three respects the West is ready to
act with the South, but in such manner as not
to conflict with or Cypress Eastern capitalists,
whose capital is needed in both sections-ln
the West, to sustain and increase its prosper
ity and productive power in the South, to
restore and build up again what has beer
broken down.-Chicago 1rijune.

OF THE STORM IN TusCuMBIA

TUsoUMBIA, Ala, Nov 4.-By the storm Sun
day about 800 per CONS were deprived OF houses,
and the total loss to the town and private indi-
viduals is estimated at $500, 900. The Memphis
and Charleston Railroad loses so, OOO.
The storm came on while most of the people
were supping it came like the sound of rushing
thunder, and passed over Immediately. Houses
were blown down IN many places and the roads
were everywhere filled wi h crulnbling walls and
shattered timbers: The people Immediately Or
ganized, appointed leaders and set about reiev-
ing those held by the falling timbers, and recov-
ering the bodies of the killed.
In addition to the killed mentioned in yester-
days Nashville dispatch, thirty persons were in
jured
soon after the storm had blown over, it was
discovered that the iron railroad bridge over
Spring Creek, about half a mile from town. had
been completely DESTROYED. AT TIE same time it
was remembered the train from Memphis could
be expected to arrive at any moment. The ut
most confusion prevailed. No one seemed to
know what to do
At length a young man named Womble seized
a hunge stick of pine wood, and after thrusting
it into the fire. in house near by, he rushed to-
ward the broken bridge, waving the blazing wood
over his head as he went. He had almost
reached the creek when his torch was extln-
gushed by the rain, which was falling in tor
rents. At the same time the whistle of the ap-
preaching train was heard, and the next moment
the headlight flashed through the darkness.
The young man called with all his might, but
the engineer heard nothing but the sound OF the
storm, and before any warning could be conveyed
to him. the engine, baggage car and one Of the
passenger coaches, went over the embankment
fifty feet down into the creek. The rear pas
senger car did not so off the track, it being
blocked up by the wreck Of the foremost ones.
The engineer, fireman and baggage master went
over with the engine and baggage car, and were
cut out Of the RUNS after two hours hard work.
They were very dangerously burned and bruised
but are expected to recover.
Several Ut the passengers were slightly injured,
but none OF them We're prevented from proceed
ing on their journey. They were delayed several
hours.

! of State Senator Moore's house. Mrs. Moore

across her, and two children under her dead, al
crushed out Of shape. Two other children were
rescued alive.

story window. His house blown down
burying his brothers family in tho ruins. "
cutting through the wreck, Mr.. dodgkins, hil
wife, and four children, were all found crushed
to death. The mansion OF Mis-. Winston wa

According to the recent report of the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue, there seems to
have been, during the past year, no marked
change in the production or consumption of
spirits, Notwithstanding the frequent reports
of falling off during the labors of the "cru-
saders" in the West. The production of to-
bacco has been increased, and its export ex-
ceeded that of any previous year. Commits
sioner Duglas suggests that this export might
be still further increased by allowing draw
backs to manufacturers on imported materials
used in preparing tobacco.
