THE HOME CUARDs.

and Take Their Friends In.

and Take Their Friends In.
The Home Guards OF the First Ware
held house warming last night at thu
new wigwam, near the corner Of Mel
pomene and Annunciation streets. The
occasion necessarily drew very large
number Of the residents OF the ward
and other invited guests, who were
prolific in their praise Of the new build
ing, erected as IL by magic, and which
although simple, is one Of the most
comfortable political temples in the
city.
Mr.. Il. 7. Rareshide, the President Of
the Club, having called the meeting to
order and explained the object OF the
assemblage, introduced Sam. p. Blanc,
Esq, as the first speaker.
Mr. Blanc, although he expressed his
difIidence at the novelty OF his position
In addressing q political gathering. was
very felicitous in his polished remarks
OF welcome to the guests, and made the
necessity OF "unity and confidence" the
theme Of his DISCOURSE, not forgetting,
however, TO speak enthusiastically of
the high character Of our Presidential
candidates, Tilden and Hendricks, and
the duty of every man to initiate the St.
Louis delegates by selecting good and
trustworthy men for the high offices of
the State.
Mr.. Blanc was followed by Speaker
Estelette, who happens to be in this city
at this time. Mr.. Estelette's speech
was patriotic in the extreme and highly
eulogistic Of the great reformer, Tilden.
The pith of his speech. however, lay in
what he considered the necessity of
the moment; the selection OF unpledged
delegates to the State Convention. He
himself had been chosen among others
to represent the parish Of st. Landry,
and was going to the Convention un-
trammeled, unpledged.
Mr.. Toby Gibson also spoke, and like
the gentlemen preceding him was fire.
quently applauded Mr.. Gibson was
in his criticisms against the
bayonet rulers and scalawags, and
announced that in their dismay and
the Radicals were about
to ask Packard to step down and to
place scaIawag. Geo Williamson, at
the head Of their ticket. Referring to
our national politics Mr.. Gibson urged
that we should not call ourselves Demo
crat-C Conservatives Conservative-Demo-
Gratis nor Liberals, but Democrats sim
ply. like Tilden and Hendricks.

THE FALL ELECTIONS.

From the Baltimore SUM-

Omces to be FILLED.
From the Baltimore SUM-
In view OF the Presidential election In
November, the State elections which
will precede It will be looked to with
interest. The following Is the order ol
these elections:
/. Kentucky, on the first Monday In
August. This election will be for mem.
bers OF the Legislature and Circuit
Judges. The Democrats are making
active preparations for the election, but
pose to allow the canvass to go by
default.
2. California, on the first Wednesday
10 September. This election is for mem
bers OF the General Assembly and
members OF Congress. The parties are
pretty equally divided, each claiming
the victory, and an exciting contest Is
| predicted.
3. Vermont, on the first Tuesday in
| September. This election is for State
officers and members OF the General
Assembly. and as the State Ia over
whelmingly Republican, the only in
| terest attached to the election will be in
noting the relative loss and gain OF the
two parties.
A. Maine, on the second Monday in
November Here State ticket will be
elected, and there seems to be no doubt
OF the reelection OF Gen. Selden Con
ner, Republican, the present Governor
s. Georgia, on the second Tuesday In
October Gen. A. II. Colquitt is likely
to head the Democratic ticket for the
Governorship. whose election is pre-
dicted by $1,000 majority As yet the
Republicans have not indicated pur-
pose to contest the field.
6. West Virginia. on the second Tues
day in October. This election embraces
State ticket. members Of the Legisla-
ture, and members of Congress. The
Democrats are already in the field with
q State ticket, headed by the Hon. A. M.
Matthews, present Attorney General,
for the Governorship. The Republicans
will nominate State ticket during the
latter part Of the present month. The
Democrats claim that all their dissen-
sions are healed, and that they will
carry the State by large majority.
7. Ohio, second Tuesday In October.
In this State full ticket, with the ex-
ception of Governor and Lieutenant
Governor. will be elected. The Repub-
licans claim they will carry the State by
an increased majority over Hayes vote
in 1875.
8. Indiana, on the second Tuesday in
October. Here full State ticket will be
elected, the Democratic ticket Delng
headed by the Hon. J. d. Williams.
present member of Congress, for the
GovernorshIp, and the Republican
ticket by the Hon. Godlove s. Orth, late
Minister to Austria. Indiana promises
to be the battle-ground preparatory to
the Presidential onset in November,
and both parties will put forth their
best efforts to secure the ascendancy.
9. Iowa. on the second Tuesday in Oc-
tober. This IL Republican State, and
may be expected to cast it's vote in that
direction both in October and November
10. Nebraska, second Tuesday in Oc-
tober. This is also Republican State
II. Texas, on the first Monday in No
vember. This State will probably go
Democratic by from $4,000 to 100000
majority, but the election is too near
the time of holding the Presidential
election to affect it in any perceptible
degree.

THE GENIAL SAVAGE.
How the Indians Get Arms and Am mu.
milton.


from the Boston Herald
An army officer in the Big Horn expe-
dition wrote letter to friend in this
city few days prior to the slaughter OF
Custer's command, from which we are
permitted to copy as follows:
"I think this will be a very long and
very tiresome campaign. doubt IL we
see our posts before fall, if then. The
scarcity Of water adds much to our diff
culties, and / think the country gener-
ally much worse than Arizona, the only
growth for miles being the irrepressible
cactus. The Indians are very strong in
numbers and splendidly armed, and
they boast that they can and will clean
out anything the United States can
send against them. Spotted Tail pre-
tends to be friendly, and on the strength
Of it he goes to Cheyenne, buys $4,000
rounds Of ammunition, and returns to
the agency with it. The following day
fresh party of Indians starts out fully
equipped. OF the wisdom Of allowing
this proceeding / say nothing. He was
in Cheyenne when we were there on our
march up. He picks up all the informa-
ton he can get concerning our move
ments and forwards it to his friends. If
this sort OF thing continues. you can
judge how successful we shall be.

Yesterday evening we had the pleas
ure of meeting Mr.. Tarleton II. Bean
and Mr.. A. Kumlein, who are in the city
for the purpose of stocking the Alabama
river with shad. These gentlemen
brought with them 100000 young fry
from Holyoke, Mass, which they placed
in the river near the ferry. They ex-
pressed some fear because Of the low
temperature of the water and the gas
tar floating on its surface; still, on sec
ond thought, they determined to try it,
and to-day a school Of young shad are
wiggling about the bottom OF the Ala
bama, wondering where in the dickens
they are at. In 1867 some millions Of
shad spawn were placed In the Connec-
ticut river, and in 1870 the catch was
over 10000. At Holyoke over 45o were
taken at one haul. SO satisfactory was
the result that upward of 50. 600, 900 have
been placed in the Connecticut at an
expense of only $500 to the State. The
question to be determined by this stock
ing OF our river with shad, Is to see
whether shad will live in water flowing
into the Gulf Of Mexico. Prof. Baird,
Of the Smithsonian Institute, has the
matter in charge.
