With regard to the first mortgages bonds. no
one can doubt their being FIRST class invest

which will be derived by the residents OF this
city and that they will be so regarded by our

recommendation made short time since by
the presidents of nearly all our banks and in

WAITING FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Speaker Gros-
yenor, of Ohio, has departed sadder
and q wiser man. His well planned lit
tie mission here to raise money and
votes in the departments for the Ohio
campaign has resulted In q fat failure.
It appears that at q meeting of the Ohio
clerks, held night before last, at the
Sixth Auditor McGrew, Grosvenor
represented that the President knew Of
his tGrosyenor's) projected visit here,
and approved its object. On the
strength of that representation the
clerks felt that there was nothing to do
but to submit; and 80 they enthused as
much as they could, and resolved to go,
although few wanted to, a fewer still
felt that they could bear the expense.
Since that meeting, however. the clerks
have been consulting together, and to-
day they have pretty unanimously come
to the conclusion that they don't be-
lieve the President authorized Grosve-
nor to speak for him, and that they will
obey the letter Of the Presidents Civil
Service order, and stick to their posts
until they get different instructions
from headquarters.
An appeal was made by Grogvenor to
the Treasury Department. The Ohio
clerks were called and a paper was pre-

WHAT THE SENATE WILL DO AT
THE EXTRA SESSION.
IN. Y. World.1

The Senate at the extra session will be
occupied, while waiting for the action Of
the House on the appropriations, In de-
batting and disposing Of the contested
seats from Louisiana and South Caro-
lima. Should Mr.. Morton, the chair
man Of the Senate Committee on Priv.
ileges and Elections, be able to attend
the December session, it Is not improba.
BILE that the cases will be delayed Till
then; but this Is doubtful, as few OF the
friends Of the Indiana Senator expect
ever to see him in Washington again.
The Democratic Senators-elect from
both States will In the end be admitted.
Some OF the more bitter Republican
opponents of the Presidents policy are
at work endeayoripg to defeat Gen.
Buffers credentials as the Senator elect
from South Carolina, but In the Louisi-
ana case Mr.. Kellogg's pretensions
seem to be rapidly melting away.

To the older denizens OF New Orleans the al
nouneement OF the demise Of that veteran in our
fire department, Capt. Jack Adams, will come
with more than an ordinary blow, and to even
those who were not intimate with that estimable
gentleman the loss will be keenly felt. Capt.
Adams has served our city as fire warden for
many years, and was allied to our every industry.
He was born in 1919, and ended his life in Pass
Christian after years full Of worth and labor. He
died at Pass Christian at ii o'clock on the 22d
instant, where he had been for some time In the
pension of the Board of Underwriters.
His old comrades Of Columbia No. 8. who sin
feel that deserved appreciation for their old
leader. will bear to their last home the remains
Of their brave old champion, the veteran Capt.
Jack Adams.

Club Dramatiaue Louisianais.


This excellent amateur club will give another
of their pleasant soirees at the Opera House on
Saturday evening next. The performance will
comprise that excruciating French comedie-
vaudeville entitled "Un Uhapeau de Pallle
d'Itale" and the pretty comedy Of "La Chanoi-
nesse."
Academy of Music.
The second performance Of "Baby" at the
Academy indicated plainly that this mirth-pro-
voking dramatic episode had been spoken Of by
those who saw 1t for the first time on Sunday, for
the attendance in every part of the theatre was
large fact which also indicates that the play il
popular one and which meets with favor by all
classes of theatre goers. We are not surprised
at its success, when we consider that two OF Its
interpreters are consummate actors OF that
school which, we fear, is dying away fast, and at
which were reared the Placides, Burton. Owens,
Joe jefferson. Holland, Brougham, Sothern, Hal
leck. DeBar, and other distinguished comedians,
not clowns.
MIR. Bailey possesses some excellent native
qualities, among them physiognomy, rich pres
ent OF nature, indeed, and when he assumes that
| roguish smile, extending from one ear to the
other, there is not the most hardened stone that
can resist it. With Mr.. Lemoyne, the dissolute
tutor Of Baby, the facial expression is none the
less comical, although not SO broad. It is quiet,
and frequently negative, but never pale, and the

There seems to be popular superstition among
some school teachers and their friends, that by
regular and well conducted approaches with
duly scientific strategic advances, copies can be
procured sub rosa at the Democrat Office Of the
questions to be propounded by the
School Board at the comparative examination.
We are sorry TO dispel any hopes that may
radiate from innocent, no doubt, but
too ambitious bosoms. but we must
do it, IL 1t were only to save some parties whose
time might be better employed any unnecessary
trouble. We therefore give notice that any
attempt that way by we'll meaning aspirers to
the school .cathedrs," will be nothing but a
work of supererogation.
