ON DIT.

....Speaker Estilette will be at the State
House on Monday.
1.-The Young Mems Democratic Club Of
the Third Ward met last night, and after
transacting minor business they adjourned.
Outside the solemn procession of law
yers passing from court to court, attending
the calling of cases, there was little stirring
the old cubildo Saturday morning
..On Friday night the gentlemen of the
Orleans Roller Skating Club held a reunion
at Harmony Hall, and the pleasures of the &C.
casion were kept up until late hour.
-. Sunday afternoon there will be large
attendance at the grounds of the rifle clubs,
and with the present bright sky and favorable
weather some excellent targets may be ex-
pected.
mo better index of the increase of bust
ness here could be had than the busy clerks
at the Custom-House. The heavy receipts of
our importers, and the preparations for the
holidays, give business air to the old granite
building.
-. The committee to examine the books of
the Funding Board met Friday night for the
purpose of continuing their examination and
preparing report, but there being no
quorum, the committee adjourned until Mon
day evening.
-. The aspirants fox guberaatorial honors
are cropping up on all sides like mu hrooms
of nights growth. Col. Geo. Williamson,
it seems, has produced more than an ordina-
~ stir by his prospective journey to this
city. His presence will doubtless occasion
much complication in Radical circles.
The corner of Canal and Liberty
(Treme) streets, is nightly made the rendez-
vous of lot of half fedged, saddle-colored
politicians, who indulge in loud harangues on
the situation, and are prolific in oaths and
vulgarity to the great disgust of lady and
gentlemen promenaders. The police are re-
quested to make note of this.
-. Notwithstanding the many threats of
the Superintendent of Streets of the Third
Ward as to what he would do to those fruit
vendors, etc on Canal street, if the stands
and other distractions were not removed, the
stands and distractions are still there. We
notice, however. that Mr.. Charles Cavanac,.
Superintendent of Streets of the Second
Ward, has succeeded in clearing the lower
side of Canal street.
-. In the case of the State VS.. E. W.
Devices, j. L. Mathews, p. Jones Yorke and
R. R. Ray, before the Superior Criminal
Court, the defendants have filed challenge
to the array of Grand Jurors who indicted
them. The challenge contends that the ap-
pointment of Judge Braughn- under whom
the jury was empannelled by Judge Atocha,
was unconstitutional, and that if the oppoint-
ment was constitutional, Jadge Braughn never
qualified.
-. The recent improvements to that pop
ular caravansary, the City Hotel, have ELECTED
many remarks on the part of those who ap-
preciate these additions to our city's archi-
tecturaI beauty. Inside and out, through the
attention of those genial hosts, Messrs. Wat
son & Mumford. the building has been made
almost new edifice, and below, the bar now
under the supervision Of that well-known
maitre, Charles Benoit, has already attracted
a battalion of customers who 60 no where
else.
The late interest taken in Aquatic
sports here is somewhat remarkable when it
is considered that for Sd many years, with
our facilities, we have overlooked the oppor-
tunities offered. Amateurs have now an oppor-
tunity Of enjoying on the water the full
measure of their desires in the rdff1e
of the staunch race scull Creole, now offered
to connoisseurs at only one dollar chance.
Those who desire to secure this finely finished
boat should apply to this office, or to any
member of the st. Johns Rowing Club for
tickets for thefsfae.
-. The othef Day We were invited to wit
ness an experiment of new machine in
tended for tie propulsion. or rather drawing,
of street cars. The name of the inventor is
not known. His drawings and plans, how
ever, have been placed in the hands of gen.
tlemen of this town who, in accordance there
with. have constructed the machine, the trial
of which we were invited to witness. 1t is
worked by lever which is connected with
cog wheels and pendulums. Some little
power is required to start it, but once started
a child can keep it going. There is
10 doubt about the fact that if the support
from the capitalists of the city which the
gentlemen who have taken the matter in
hand expect and no doubt will receive, is re-
ceiyed, there will be change in the pre-
.-.5o oS tropo;f on the cifv railroads.
