Grand Army of Republic Excursion.

On Tuesday afternoon the members and
friends Of Joseph A. Mower, Post No. l
Grand Army of the Republic, as previously
advertised, left Canal street landing on the
steamboat P. w. Strader, Captain Belt, for
an excursion to Bonnet Carre. A Jolly
party, numbering nearly three hundred,
were on board. At three o'clock the gang
plank was drawn in, lively air was COM
menced by the brass band, and with Union
colors flying from the boats jackstaff, the
steamer was headed up stream. The excur-
| sion was to be one Of pleasure, and the boat
| went to kill time, and not make it. Itmade
| the run of thirty-six miles, to the crevasse,
| in just five hours, considerably less than the
Lees best time. The excursion was to en-
able passengers to see the crevasse, but
! when the boat arrived there darkness had
closed the cfevasse from sight. =
The excursion was advertised as moon
light excursion. Owing to some misunder-
standing with the lunar authorities, the
silvered orb came only family out, and at
irregular intervals. As a moonlight ex.
cursion it was not success. With all of
these drawbacks, for which the Mower
Post boys were not entirely responsible,
fun enough for a number of excursions was
worked out Of the enterprise. There were
fair ladies and good musicians on board,
and dances were arranged until the ball
fever came on. When opposite Hanhville,
st. Charles parish, it was veted to put
Hon. Michael Hahn, lord mayor of the
town, on shore, with orders to get up a
first class ball in thirty minutes, or forever
stay on shore. The ball was accomplished.
The Cover nor lighted up his new hall, the
dancers had the floor, and the men of brass
crowded breath into cOrnet and horn until
the instruments spoke eloquently in music
tones. Bonfires were built, rockets sent up
and young men and maidens of the village
made hasty tOilettes and joined in the
dance.
The excursionists enjoyed the occasion
until weary of life's vanities and frivolity,
and then re.embarked on the Strader. The
noble steamer, a capacious and safe one,
drifted down with the current, and arrived
in New Orleans at five O'Clock in the morn
ing yesterday.
The members of the various committees
working for the excursion, particularly
Captains James E. Aver and York A.Wood-
ward, were untiring in their efforts to min
lister to the comfort and pleasure of guests,
and all on board were thoroughly good !
natured, and concluded they had their |
moneys worth of endowment and fill of fun. |

Another Excursion. !.

The steamer w. s.. Pike will leave Canal
street wharf this afternoon, at three o'clock,
and with. the understanding that it will
return in season for passengers to witness
the display of the Disciples of Thespis."
The proceeds of this excu rsion will very
properly be devoted 70 the relief of suffer
ers by crevasse in the parishes of Iberville,
West Baton Rouge and Pointe Coupee, and
for distribution, will be handed over to w.
S. Pike, Esq. The fare for the round trip,
which will be pleasant one, is fixed at one

Court Items.

In the Superior Criminal Court severa
more Jurors went through examination:
with variations. Mr.. E. H. Fairchild haC
had very sore throat Monday, and conse
quently did not appear in court. If ne had
sent physician's certificate explaining this
at that tine he would have been excused
Not doing so cost him ten dollars and then
took his seat as Juror. Mr.. Louis Ander-
son came on Monday when Judge Abells
court was in session. He thought it waa
the one before which he was summoned, and
went away. Not knowing the difference
between the two courts subjected him to a
fine OF ten dollars, and not paying this he
went for twenty-four hours to the Parish
Prison. Mr.. Oscar Bercier made oath that
he was not citizen. Mr.. J. B. Flott con-
sldeTed himself disqualified as juror be-
cause he was opposed to capital punish
ment. This didn't excuse him. The name
Of Mr.. Joseph Ellison was returned to the
box.
The first arrrignment was that of Annie
Black, charged with carrying a concealed
weapon, and she pleaded guilty. The court
warned her that her plea would subject her
TO severe punishment She said the pistol
was not hers, she had taken it from another
who was intoxicated. Judge Atoeha said
that was matter to be explained to jury,
directed the entry of plea of not guilty,
and ordered the case fixed for trial.
Ike johnson pleaded guilty of rob berry.
The court took especial pains to learn
whether he understood the nature of the
crime he was charged with, and his knowl-
edge OF what his plea meant. johnson
stoutly maintained that he '.did it." and
was remanded for sentence.

Benefit Of Miss Jennie EnRel.

Tomorrow evening will occur at the
Academy OF Music the farewell benefit of
Miss Jennie Engel, the dsshiLg young serio.
comic vocalist and comedie nne. For a
number of years this lady has alternated
between Tony Pastors New York Opera
House and the Academy of Music, in this
city, and in each place che has been a prime
favorite with the audiences, for the amuse-
ment of which she has catered. Miss Engel
is of fine appearance, a good dresser, pos.
sesses pleasant singing voice, and keeping
up with all the current songs, is one of the
most popular actresses in her peculiar line
of business. Her benefit bill will be good

Thespis.

We asserted in Yesterday mornings RE-
PUBLICAN that Thespis was not dead. We
will prove the correctness of our assertion
by ocular demonstration this evening
Thespis still lives, an antique, but rejuve-
mated and still rising young actor" For
those who wish to know, we would state
that Thespis was poet in Attica about $50
B. c. He started on a theatrical tour
with two performers mounted in a cart.
They played in different towns, and met
with some success. We have not a pro-
gramme handy or we might say something
of the performance. Suffice it TO say, they
never played Julius Caesar" nor vet the
Merchant Of Venice 1t is fair to pre-.
sumo that representation Of the sacking
of Troy was within the capacity of the
troupe, as the horse that drew the cart
might also draw an audience TO witness q
living representation of the wooden horse
As the wardrobe was packed on the animals
back, as it is frequently yet to be seen on
the modern stage, the word clothes. horse
came into vogue. These actors that Thespls
had with him were won't to smear their
faces with the lees of wine, hence the Gus
tom among many modern playists of soak
ing themselves in benzine before attempting
the classic drama.
Though the entertainments of Thespis
we're generally popular, Solon was bitterly
opposed to them. We do not doubt but
that there are many Solons now existing
who share his opinions. Perhaps they will
even oppose the pageant and tableeux that
will take place tonight, on the ground of
an expenditure of much money for mere
pleasure at time of such universal dis
tress. We would say to all these Solons
that the expenses of the display had long
since been incurred by the Disciples of
Thespis, and that no portion Of the money
has been spent outside of this city.

his benefit. Meyerbeer's grand opera OF
"L'Africaine" will be produced, and be-
tween the third and fourth acts M. Maysn
will sing tie grand aria from "Edipe a
Colonne." Seats are being rapidly taken up
and as this is perhaps the last production
this season of 'L'Africaine,' those desirous
OF witnessing that superb masterpiece had
better apply early at the box Office.
Next week the grand opera Of "Hamlet'
will be brought out.

The Last Currency Bill,

There seems TO be u determination in
Congress to pass some kind of q currency
bill, even If it be nothing more than to au-
thorize the exchange of ten cent ''frac-
tlonal for two nickels. The bill reported
by the second Conference Committee is Of
just rs much value as that would be, al
though 1t may prove to be considerably
worse. By way of making money more
plenty 1T proposes to take from the Eastern
States $50,OOO,0OO of the National Bank
circulation they now have and bestow it
upon the West and South. From the hub
bub that has been created on the subject of
redistribution of the currency one would
suppose that the West and South were
furnishing Tor National Banks, their
mouths were as wide agape as a nest OF
young swallows in the momentary expecta-
ton OF worms. That the Eastern States,
where there is more capital than in other
sections OF the country, and where the rate
OF interest is lower, prefer to retain the
circulation they now have,-their business
having adjusted itself to the existing con.
dition,- lis probably true, though they have
SHOWN no great opposition to the redistri
button scheme That the West and South
want the privilege of taking this circula
ton and paying for 1t, we totally deny

A Demagogue Resolution

The Republican ring masters at Spring
field knew perfectly well that their party
was doomed to utter overthrow if they
could not catch the German vote, and,
Notwithstanding their legislature had pass
ed and their Governor signed most
stringent and oppressive liquor law, they,
in the face Of this, inserted a plank in their
platform calculated to make the Germans
believe that they are opposed to such laws.
How that plank was received by the con-
ton let the Springfield Register tell. That
paper, Of the 18th, say;
The Republican State convention, yes
terday, adopted section in its platform
declaring Its aim to secure the rights and
privileges Of citizens without regard to ma
tiOnality or creed. We say the conven-
ton adopted this plank, in Difference to
the ruling Of the excellent fnancier and
model presiding officer who was chairman
Of the convention, but the fact is that the
vote on the motion of Mr.. Whiting, lof
Bureau to strike out this plank was large
ly in the majority, although the chairman
did not so declare. Mr.. Whiting objected
to the plank, declaring it to be an attack
on the temperance law Of this State and a
rebuke to the crusaders and their support
ers. This statement was vociferously con.
tradicted but the motion was carried new
ertheless, although the chairman was con
veniently deaf to the storm of voices in ia.
vor of striking it out. 1t will De seen that
this plank will not gull the friends of per.
sonal liberty outside the convention any
more than it did the advocates Of stump
trary I-wl N tie cenva.ti-u.

were that two or three of the National
hanks would ike to surrender their circul-
alton. one National Bank would like to
have an increase, and one or two of the
nrivate banks would like to become Ma
tional Banks The net result of the eau
yass was that not dollar of new circula-
ton would have been taken by the district
in the aggregate, although there would
have been trifing change in the local dis
tribution of the amount they now have
We know that some of the National Banks
in this city are retiring their circulation as
fast as they can collect it in, while others
are only restrained from doing so by the
express desire of the Comptroller Of the
Currency that they shall retain it.
To take $50,000,000 of circulation from
the Eastern States presupposes that there
is about $60,000,000 of capital in the West
and South waiting for the opportunity to
go into the banking business, or that that
amount would be speedily withdrawn from
other employments for this purpose. What
perfectly absurd proposition this is Pol
iticians talk about redistribution of the
currency as though it meant that $50, 000,.
600 In money was to be taken from the
East and handed around to the needy anC
deserving people of the West and South
for nothing. 1t means no such thing. Il
means that if there be any considerable
number of persons in the West and South
able to put up $Il5 of security in order t
get back 800 of National Bank currency
and DESTROYS of doing so, they shall have
the opportunity. If there be no consider
able number of such persons, then thu
taking away of $o0,00O,000 of circulation
from the East means a contraction of tn
circulation by that amount That would
be brave way of making money plentier
If this bill passes, we hope the Presiden
will veto il on the express ground of it
aimless stupidity.-Chicago Tribune.
