This concluded the business Of the
meeting. Barnett Gibbs, ESQ., the
censor OF the club, closed with an adj
dress which for grace and elegance we
have rarely heard eXcelled. He, by
virtue of his olra # censor, censured
Mr.. Hentry McCGE,m, "Grand Gath
erer Of Information, for the meagre-
ness Of his report, and urged him In
the future to use greater eXertlons.
(Mr McCullum again apologized and
said that while he was perfectly
willing to bear the blame, yet
In justice TO himself he was
compelled to inform the club
that he had been slightly unwell dur
ing the past week, and had appointed
Daniel Ripley rs u substitute for that
time, and this must be his apology for
his seeming neglect) Mr.. Gibbs re-
ferred in his most graceful manner to
the report that seemed to have gained
general credence, to the effect that the
Club really discussed nothing but
scandal in their meetings. He was eX-
tremely sorry to say that this Islander
was more especially believed among
the ladies of Dallas. He deplored this
and advised every member of the
Club to explain to his lady friends
that such was not the case. The Club,
he stated, was purely social organi-
cation, and he COMPILING ned each
and every member upon their high So
cial standing in the community, and
this alone, he said, was a suffi cient
guarantee that anybody's reputation
would be safe in their hands.
He paid a glowing tribute to the ladies
of Dallas, and referred in pleasing Ian
guage to the influence they possessed
over mankind, and humorously gave
himself as an apt illustration of his ar
gument. He advised every member of
the club land especially the Grand
News Gatherer) to cultivate the society
of true ladies', and with few more APP
propriate remarks closed his address.
The club then adjourned until the
next regular ting.

SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL.
What the scholars Said and Did Last
Night.

AT n regular meeting Of the club
held at their rooms last night, the fol-
lowing proceedings We're read. The
minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved in the usual style of all
bodies polite.
Then the roll was called and Mr..
John Bookhout having failed to re-
spond to his name and 1t being his
third absence from regular meetings,
u motion was made and carried that
his name be dropped from the roll.
There WAS considerable discussion on
the resolution rs Brother Bookhout
had been a highly esteemed member,
but the club finally concluded that rs
he had ceased to take any interest in
their proceedings, that he had best be
dismissed with the good wishes Of his
old chums.
At this juncture the grand news
gatherer rose and asked leave to make
his report which was not rs lengthy MS
usual, but very interesting.
He reported that during the last
week Dallas had been success in a
theatrical way, the great actor, Berry
Mitchell, having carried the town
by storming, charming the ladies and
exciting the envy of the men by his
good looks and spirited impersonation
of Claude the prince oflovers.
He reported much grief among the
young ladies who had engagements
that would necessarily be postponed
on account of the weather; but much
rejoicing on the part of the average
citizen and voter who found some
relief from energetic candidates.
He reported the City Fathers to be
in high glee at the approach of the
eggnog season, and that they had de-
termined, in fit of economy, to save
enough out of the officers salaries to
finish the Texas and Pacific Railroad,
just to show Congress how little they
cared for that resolution.
Here the report was closed, and the
news.gatherer apologized for its brew
ity on the score that between two foot
of mud In the streets and friendly cam
didates for office, he had not seen many
of his lady friends.
A motion was now made to suspend
the rules and admit Judge Silas Hare
and Colonel Hewitt to membership.
A lively discussion ensued as
to their eligibility.
DR.. Tolliver said that he had known
both gentlemen for long time In our
sister city Of Sherman, and believed
from the bottom Of his heart they
would make good members, especially
while court was In session.
Mr.. Cowart objected to admitting
Judge Hare as he would be absent in
the holidays, when earnest work was
demanded of every member.
But 1t was finally agreed that as both
gentlemen could tell good story, and
had pretty fair imaginative powers.
that they be admitted,

that Grant had the power to send
his army here with instructions &c
use fire and sword and hang. draw
and quarter promiscuously the citi
zcns OF II sovereign state. And
truly, the tone of the dispatch
would seem to warrant the idea
that such was the meaning of the
military president. The BOBBY and
his minions seem not to have
sense enough TO know that the most
his army could do would be to
queil any armed instruction against
! tho government, state or Federal ,
and to arrest those in the act of vi
olence for trial by the courts, and
no good citizen will object to this
when the occasion arises.
We do not fear investigation, or
the armies of the government, led
as they are by gentlemen who know
their duty and the scope of their
powers.
But We must be allowed the ex-
preston of the most profound con
tempt for the senseless mcnaces of
the "poor fool"-as Bonner's Ledg-
CT calls him-and for those who
quote them so fippantly to point
whole columns of childish spleen
againt the people of the state.
We must be permitted also to
give vent to our Indignation and
scorn at the mcanness of our ser
want, law-officer Pierrepoint, who
dlsgraccs his high position by as
Stunning that the whites are wrong
before investigation. 1t has not
heretofore, been the habit of high
functionaries of the Government to
bring the names of parties into state
papers, and the following sentences
to be found in Pierrepont's dispatch
to Ames is-worthy only of the
man he ddresses-beneath con-
tempt:
"Thc country will see that the
citizens of Mississippi,who are large
ly favorable to good order, and
largely Republican, have the cour-
age and manhood to fight for their
rights and to destroy the bloody
ruffians who murder innocent and
unoffending freedmen" What Is
to be done to those rutfians who
murder innocent and unoffending
white men? 1t seems they arc to
be encouraged in such deeds by the
quasi assurances of protection i'm
piled in the pre.judgment that the
whites were in the wrong.
Such injustice will surely meet
with no support from the manhood
of the North.

SENATOR ALCORN.

We have been waiting in the hope
of seeing some modification or de-
NAL, by this gentleman, of report
of an interview with him which was
published in tho Memphis Ava
lanche. We have waited in vain.
He is reported as saying that the
Democrats are responsible for all
the bloodshed and violence at Gin
ton and all the bad feeling between
the races in Mississippi that when
he consented to resign a position
in the Z. S. Senate to become Gov
ernor of Mississippi" (by the way,
when did that resignation occur p
the Democrats "made up cabal J"
against him, thought it better to
"a He'll first and Democratic after
ward" knowing that, if Alcorn was
elected, there would be "respecti-
bility" God save the mark =! in the
Republican party, whereas they
wanted an "odious" government, so
that they might ride into power on
it's ruins"
He predicted that the Federal
Government would send troops
Showing that the wish is father to
the thought he says: =" \ man like
Sheridan will go among them with
his summary way of doing things
and those hot heads will be made to
keep quiet"
How utterly abandoned to all
sense of decency must this cham
pion twaddler have become Is he
so besottcd as not to know that all
the world knows that he got hardly
any votes but Democratic votes in
his effort to be Governor, that the
party actually refused to nominate
a candidate for his benefit, and that
it only took him up as means of
trying to conciliate the negro?
The Democrats responsible for
the bad feeling between the races,
when, in order to concialiate them,
they have taken up Dent and Gree
ley, and, last and least, this huck-
stering traitor to all parties, him
self, who stopped to fawn upon and
then deserted the very carpet-bag
gers themselves Did the world |
ever hear Of such bare-faced etfron-
