The temporary president at the opening Of the
meeting explained that the object Of the associa-
ton was to obtain reliable data for the use Of
the HISTORICAL Society of the South of this
memorable siege, towards which, singularly
enough, nothing had yet been done, and at the
same time to bring together in q closer contra
ternity all who had taken active part in it. He
informed the thirty or forty gentlemen present
that no fees or monthly dues would be exacted to
defray the expenses Of the association, which
would be maintained entirely by voluntary con-
tributions.
Capt. Olem. L. Walker, on behalf OF the COM
mittee, now reported set of by laws for the con-
duct Of the association, which were adopted
On motion the association proceed to organize
permanently, the name adopted being "The
Association Of the Defenders of Port Hudson"

elected:

dent, Capt. O. FL. Jonas; recording secretary and
treasurer, Lieut. James +. Freret.

Capt, Diem. L. Walker, chairman and corre-
spending secretary, Adjt Paul Waterman, Capt.
B. q. Magruder.
It was also agreed that the regular meetings
should take place on the second Tuesday in each
month.
The organization having been completed, the
president urged the members to use their best
endeavors in promoting the objects OF the 1850
citation by recruiting members, and by collecting
documents and facts connected with the siege, to
be communicated to the collating committee, in
order that the work shall be performed in as
complete manner as the subject deserved
Several interesting documents were now read
to the association including the correspondence
between Gen. N. P. Banks and Frank Gardner,
commanding che opposing armies, the terms Of
tho capitulation and incidents OF the capitula-
ton itself, furnished by Mrs. Gen. Frank Gard
ner, Lieut.. Fred. Y. Dabney, Col. Smith and
others.
Whereupon the association adjourned to meet
on the regular meeting day unless sooner con-
voked by the president.
Meanwhile the collating committee will gladly
| receive all communications that may be directed
to them in care of the DEMOCRAT Office, or to the
individual address of either of its members.

But He Missed His Man and Broke a

At half-pas II o'clock, Tuesday evening. diff.
ficulty took place in Csmors restaurant, No. %
ST. Charles street, between x.Judge W. L. Evans
and the cashier of the restaurant, Alphonse
Frichard, which terminated in Judge Evans draw
ing Tranter revolver and firing one shot at
Frichard. The ball, however, missed its intended
victim and passed through large mirror, totally
destroying it.
1t appears that Judge Evans, who was con-
siderably inebriated. gave the cashier two dol
lar bill and then alleged that it was ten dollar
bill. This caused harsh remarks to be passed,
and during the excited conversation Judge
Evans drew his Tranter and fred as above
stated:
Officers Croner and Sullivan, hearing the re-
port of the pistol, hurried to the scene and made
Judge Evans prisoner
The accused Was brought to the Central Sta-

question OF that. New Orleans will be great
tobacco mart before many years.
After leaving Mr.. Blakenore the reporter next
called upon
an experienced and prominent tobacco merchant
here for many years.
Mr. Torian, who is probably the oldest mer-
chant in the business, received the reporter COR
daily, and after the usual salutations the re-
porter said:
"Mr Torian, have called upon you for the
purpose of learning something Of the great
dminution Of our tobacco receipts here"
Mr.. tt have been in business here, sir. for
the last twelve years, and when / started
had 5000, 600 in money. did all could to bring
tobacco to this market, that it might be the mar
ket Of the country, but with what success you
can see.
Rep.-To what do you attribute this falling Off
Mr.. ITO two or three things-perhaps more
In the first place the freight 10
AGAINST Us AND IN FAVOR OF NEW YORK,
fully fifty cents per hundred. This of course
operates heavily upon our merchants as New
York is our competitive market. Then New Or
leans is not the market that it was. We have
here none OF the "regie" buyers, except broker
then only after teegraphing to New York
for instructions. New Orleans was once the only
tobacco mart in this country, and she should be
so now. The style Of business has entirely
changed since the war. Before the planters and
merchants we're closely connected, but since the
establishment OF the "breaks," all the old things
have been done away with.
Sitting back ia his char, as 1t illuminating,
Mr. Torfan continued "The 'rejie' buyers, or
those who purchase for abroad now go to the
breaks themselves and make their purchases,
thus
CUTTING OFF OUR MERCHANTS
and keeping so much Of the tobocco out Of their
hands. These breaks are simply auctions at
central points like Hopkinsvlle, Clarksville,
Paducah and few other places where the TO-
bacco is brought from the farms and wsrehoused.
The warehouseman who has advanced on the
crop desires of course to get his money back and
his charges, so q day is fixed and the tobacco is
SOLD AT AUCTION BY SAMPLE.
This returns to the farmer or planter his money
in cash, but when the buyers, or those who pur-
chase for the merchants drop off, and the whole
thing ia left to the "rege buyers they will have
il their own way, and low prices will compel the
planters to adopt the old system for their own
salvation. In Kentucky the home buyers are
nearly all bankrupt, and this leaves the whole
market in the hands of the reggie men.
Rep,-But yqu think New Orleans will become
the market7
Mr.. TIT certainly will. Just look at the map.
Why, any man looking at the map cannot fail to
see that our city is defined to be the great depot
for the Mississippi Valley. You are young man
and am an old one but il you live to an old age
you will see New Orleans the greatest CONNER
cial city on this continent.

"'Twas night Of gala and festival. music and
passion and light" yester eve at Grunewald Hall,
for at the call Of Battery B, Louisiana Field Ar
tilIery, assembled there the beauty and chivalry
of the city. A fine string band discoursed elo-
quent music to the dancers adown the dim
dances, and manly forms made sympathetic
contrast in the artistic mazes Of the dance with
graceful women as night sped along with music.
Long, long after the peaceful burgher had re-
tired to rest did the SONS Of Mars and the daugh-
ters Of Eve make night resplendent with lively
mirth and harmonious cadence. The entrance of
the hall'was tastefully decorated with stands of

Der the pleasant entertainment of Battery B.
