was quite large gathering OF the friends of
this noble Order last night at the St. Patrick g
Hall, and all seemed to have very merry
time of it. The attendance was not only
large, but of such q character as 20 reflect
credit upon the chivalric knights, and to
cause them to feel proud Of the array OF
beauty gathered there to do them honor. The
music was very fine, and the toilettes of the
ladies were rich and elegant; the scene was a
beautiful one TO the looker-on, as the neatly
dressed knights and their beautifully -attired
fair ones fos,ed along the hall in the giddy
mazes of the waltz, all looking bright and
happy. The reception given last night by
the city Communicates of the Order OF
Knights Templar will long be remembered by
the happy participants as most joyous and
suspicious occasion.

THE BLOOM Is ON THE RYE.
More Arrangements.

Friday morning. owing to the absence Of
Gen. Brady, was not prolific III the way of
whisky news His assistant (Mr. Wheeler) was
busy with the records, compiling statements
for use before the Grand Jury, whilst the
other revenue agents were out examining the
books Of different railway companies
At II o'clock Judge Woods took the bench,
when District Attorney Beckwith announced
that he understood that Messrs. Bayly l.
Pond, who h I'd been indicted, were in court
aud desired TO give bond for their appear
ance.
They were arraigned, charged with having
carried on the rectifying business without q
revenue license, and pleaded not guilty,
reserving the right to demuf to the bill. Mr..
w. H. Letchford signed the bond of $1,000
for MIR. Bayly, and Mr.. Albert Baldwin signed
for like sum'for Major Pond.
THE PETIT JUR1Es
in the United States Court have attracted
much of the attention of Government officers,
and from what was reported about the Custom
House, it is highly probable that none Of the
whisky cases will be presented to this panel
The District Attorney was considerably irri-
tated over the verdict of acquital in the Du-
denaefer case, and has already commenced to
draw up another indictment against that party
on another charge growing out of the last
case. 1t is evident the government is deter
mined to keep Q close watch on the juries
hereafter.
The discharge of the jury in the above re-
ferred to case, has excited much comment in
legal circles, and it is cited as being of rare
occurrence here.
Judge Woods inveighed in the most csustic
Language at their verdict, and delivered them
lecture which they will not soon forget. The
bar commend the action of the judge if he
was satisfied that the verdict was, as he says,
"in defiance of the law and the evidence"
As rule juries have imagined that they
could safely go beyond all law, and bring in,
in the face Of fact, any verdict they might
see fit; but there are checks on this, and it
is said the District Attorney will thoroughly
investigate the jury referred to.
MYSTERIOUS LETTERS.
Mr.. Wheeler, Of the Internal Revenue De-
partment, has lately been the recipient of
quite number OF tire stsning letters, which
he keeps as souvenirs of his visit here OF
course 1hess are written by some person more
out of sport than anything else, for such
threats are puerile when party refuses to
give his name.
THE GRAND JURY
met yesterday afternoon after recess, and
returned into court during the afternoon with
some findings, one of which, it is reported,
was against F. Dudenhefer, who was lately
acquitted on the charge CT embezzlement Of
funds from the Germania National Bank
After the indictments were presented in open
court, they adjourned until Monday morning.

POLITICAL TALK.
THE REPUBLICAN SCARE

THE REPUBLICAN SCARE
has not diminished, and it takes the usua
number of police to give them the courage to
appear at the State House. There are q num-
Der of Republicans with more sense than il
possessed by the average Faithful, who openly
deprecate these xarlike proceedings, and con-
tend that it places them all in . false position.
1t has been discovered that the police are
relieved at night by the negro militia. who.
however, do not appear in the State House
building, but oc-upy house on Toulouse
street, just next to the old bank. Running
through to Toulouse street is an alley which
leads to the State-House building, and
through this alley the gallant colored troops
will rush for the prote ctien Of the State when
ever two or three intoxicated men get on st.
Louis street aud yell.
1t has been discovered further that this
same building is occupied during the day by
a large force of police in uniform. All told
there must be about one hundred police off,
GERS in and around the State-Ho building.
Those drunken men who propose to yell had
better take notice.

and when Murrell said he wouldn't, Demaa
proceeded to show that Murrell was the msn
who told the untruth. The police are watch
ing both men, in anticipation of duel.
IN THE SENATE
Weber and Breaux got considerably excited
over the bill creating special levee district
fora the parishes of Pointe Coupee and her
vile, and they both INDUCED in remarks in
reference to another Senator, which were en-
tirely uncalled for aad unbecoming their
