MIR. Droste was here introduced, and re.
turned thanks for his reception, and said tina.
he would do all to further the success of the
organization.
That old wit, Nat, or otherwise called
Catherine, of the Republican, followed in one
of his laughable speeches, after which Col.
j. w. Fairfax, chairman of the stewards, in
his modest way, stated that the stewards had
done only their duty.
Mr.. Paul Waterman was then called up and
gave very ford after dinner speech, we'll
seasoned with his proverbial humor.
Mr.. Lincoln, of the Prace Current, then re-
sponded to call in appropriate terms, after
which Harrison Parker Esq, of the Picayane,
made few plain, matter of fact remarks,
which were enthusiastically received. A
lull here occurred, but the gallant Capt. St.
Clair Johns came to the rescue, and in a neat
toast, the crowd responding, drank to 1.-THE
ladies'"
Then the river front was called for, and
that veteran, Col. Virginius G. Dentzel, re-
sponded. He spoke of our river marine and
its influence upon our future prospects, and
in happy terms called on all to restore our
former high position. In a quaint way he
called upon all to pay up their installments,
and to be prompt ever afterwards.
Mr.. Walpole closed in one of his easy ad-
dresses, when the leader of the band, Charley
Jaeger, was introduced, and was received with
applause After this the club adjourned, and

ARREST OF AN OLD THIEF.

At half-past IL yesterday morning Officer
Murphy arrested Dick Joyce at the corner of
Carondelet and Lafayette streets, an old day
and night sneak thief and "knuck," and con-
Quoted him to the Central Station, where he
charged the prisoner with being dangerous
and suspicious character and vagrant.
Joyce's picture now decorates the rogues'
gallery, and about two years ago he was con-
victed of larceny. The cause of his arrest
was from information received by the detec-
tives that Joyce was seen lately prowlipp
around the streets very late at night.
. Joyce claims that he has reformed. and
denies that his "mug" was ever taken,
though it now hangs in the rogues' gallery at
the Central Station, in Capt. Malone's office.

THE DOCK OF A POLICE COURT.

A man, to see the worst side of human ma
ture, and study the lowest class Of human
beings, must visit police court. and take a
look in the dock. There are gen.
orally between twenty and thirty men
and women in each of these docks every
morning, hard and reckless cases all OF them.
for the better class of offenders, those who
are not quite SO far down the road, are
kept under guard on the outside-twenty
or thirty men and women, old and
young black and white, without hope for
the present, or a care for the future. Drifting
from the Police Court to the Jail, from the
Jail to dens of sin and riot and back again to
the court, the same old round, until death
comes in, and the round is stopped, for
these hardenened, reckless cases that one
generally finds in the dock are the small
offenders, the DRINKS, selling soul and body
for rum, the disturbers of the peace, crazed
by the rum for which they give their all, and
the petty thieves whose crimes are seldom
brought home to them, and the vagabonds and
yaerants-the same old crowd ever going
and coming.
They are all well known, and one by one as
thew come from the dock to the bar they
hear the same old words, &C. Back again
Ten dollars or down again for thirty days,
and down again for thirty days they go.
There are times, and they are by no means
few, when the dock contains others than those
that 90 to make up "the same old crowd
burglars and desperate men who stand
charged with murder. Sometimes they Ego
down" to await trial, but frequently they
furnish bond, and until their trial are released.
What a tale these docks tell.a tale OF mis-
cry and sin such as the world knows not o.
nor cares to know.

LATEST FROM HAVANA.

HAVANA, June 2-The Argentine transport
Ping, with seventy-twO political prisoners,
arrived on Sunday, from Montevideo, making
the passage in ninety-four days. The pris-
oners comprise those who were implicated in
the, Flores rebellion. Among them, it is re-
ported, are two sons Of Flores and several
persons who had been banished from Cuba in
former years as enemies of Spain.
The government refused to permit the
prisoners to land, alleging as reason for this
action the informality of the ships papers,
the Ping being in reality Spanish merchant
bark which had been chartered by the Argen-
tine Government. Captain General Valma-
soda has telegraphed to Madrid for instruc-
tons, and the Ping remains under the guns
Of Spanish iron-clad. Twenty-Five of the
prisoners were allowed to embark on the City
of Mexico. which left for New York to-day.
Some of the prisoners are reported to have
been men of wealth and position in the Ar
gentine Republic.
The steamer Crescent City, from New York,
arrived here yesterday evening. On Tuesday,
at 1880 P. NJ, when the steamer was opposite
Sombrero Light, some fues in the forward
boiler burst, the steam escaped into the
furnaces and threw the burning cinders from
three of them into the coal-bunkers.
The coal instantly took fire aud the bunk
ers were soon in blaze, the flames rising ten
feet high and rushing up the ventilator to the
upper deck. The engineer closed the ventila-
tor before the woodwork above was ignited.
The alarm was given, but owing to the
admirable discipline maintained by Capt.
Curtis, every man was at the post designated
for him beforehand for such emergencies, in
less than two minutes.
In three minutes three streams of water
were pouring on the fire, and within ten
minutes the flames were extinguished. The
Chief Engineer closed the door of the engine
room to prevent draft of air and locked
himself in with his men, while the Captain
directed the hoseman where to play upon the
fire. Some of the men, by his orders, re-
moved the furniture from the Saloons 80 as
to leave the fire nothing to feed upon should
it spread.
Preparations were also made to run the
steamer ashore in case of necessity, but the
fire did not extend beyond the engine room
from the moment the ventilator and door
were closed.
The passengers give the highest praise to
the captain and chief engineer for their cool
ness, courage and presence of mind, and to
the crew for the promptness and order with
which they acted.
A body of four hundred insurgents at
tempted to enter the town of Las Tunas On
the 25th ult They were driven back with
loss, so far as known, of three killed and sew

The naval authorities having charge of the
abandoned schooner Mary Chiffon, which
has been hoated, are prepared to turn her

AN INTERESTING Renaissance OF
THE REVOLUTION.

We have been handed the following inter
esting letter to Gen. Beauregard from S.
Bassett French, of Virginia. The E. 7.
Beauregard mentioned therein was wealthy
merchant and planter Of Louisiana, and was
the great grandfather ct Gen. G. I. Beaure-
gard:
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA.
Governors Office, \
Richmond, May 81, 1875. J
Ge,aerdl-In a recent examination of the
legislative and executive journals of this Com
monwealth, find that, in 1882, Elias Tintant
Beauregard advanced $40, 600 "for supply of
troops under command of Lieut.. Col. Mont
gomery."
Subsequently, in connection with the same
matter, l find the name to be recorded "Elie
Toutant Beauregard." 1t has occurred to me
that, if this gentleman should be progenitor
of yours, it would be agreeable to you to
know the interesting coincidence of the fore
father, in the war for American Independ-
ence, contributing his treasures in aid of Vir-
GINA, with the fact that, in the struggle for
Southern Freedom his descendant led her
SONS to battle and to glory. Hence I have
presumed to intrude this note.
Permit me, General, to avail myself of this
opportunity to express the assurance of my
high esteem. Very respectfully, your obedi-
emit servant, S. BAasETT FRENCH.
