So far Maggioli leads in the averages.

.... The negro is hourly growing more and
more from under the influence of the carpet
Dagger, and it would appear that this disaf-
lection will have a tendency to alter party
lines in the coming campaign. This news
comes to us well authentic and certainly
harbingers change.
49,. Oar Crescent City is coming forward
nobly in the way Of imports and she now
shows record not exhibited by any other
seaboard city The amount of her import
atoms for the last seven months are largely in
excess of those for the same period last year.
Neither New York nor Boston has this record.
There is project on foot to inaugurate
90 operative stores in this city by mechanics

from their body, which will meet tonight,

said about the lack of attention given
to the collection of the census blanks
after they have been filled up, we
hear Of more complaints yet. The citizens
residing on Claiborne, between Elysian Fields
and Esplanade streets, have been as yet over
Ward.
-. Yesterdays proceedings was the "big-
gest day work, that the Board has yet per-
formed. The style in which they went at it
gave much satisfaction, for it was understood
and predicted in certain circles that there
would be no meeting Of the Board until fall;
that the Governor did not want meeting,
and would use his infuenc to prevent one.
Now, the same people are so happy, that they
say the Governor was the man to whom the
meeting and the industry displayed at it is
mainly due.
=. Great complaint is made by parties
going on Saturday to, and returning on Mon
day, from the watering places, that the Mo-
bile Railroad Company do not put on the re-
quisite number of cars to accommodate pas
sengers. This, we are told, is especially the
case on Mondays, when the passenger cars
are SO full that many passengers are forced to
find standing room in the baggage cars
This ID serious and annoying Inconvenience.
We hope the company will take steps to afford
the needed accommodations to those who
patronize their road Surely, a man who
pays his fare has the right to comfortable
seat.
-. Early as it may appear, there are evil
dences that the skirmishers for the coming
campaign are already being deployed. Old
political sharp-shooters are beginning to ar
rive. and the question in Republican circles is
whether the several divisions can be brought
into the fight together. There is no doubt
but what there is much bitter feeling in the
Radical family, and at present there is no
prospect of healing of the wounds. Gov.
Kellogg has been to see Packard and Packard
has returned the visit; Casey has been called
on and sundry lesser lights seen, but no ad
vancement is made.
The colored element express much dissatis-
faction at the way things have been carried
on, and vow they'll have change. There
can be no question bu. what the party organ
ization is being perfected and the initiative

cratic side call for the Central Committe |
has been issued and their first session will
have much to do with the shaping of future
politics here. The probabilities are that the |
hard or soft money question will not form |
leading plank in either party's platform, but
IS yet it is impossible to say.
