HON. y. ". ACKLEN.

A representative Of the DEMOCRAT had q
conversation yesterday with the Hon. J. H.
Acklen, who started in the evening for Wash
ington. Col. Acklen undertakes the journey
for the purpose of clearing himself Of every
particle Of odium that may be attached to his
name in consequence of the scandalous and
slanderous story published about him, and we
have no doubt that he will come out scot free.
The asperstion cast upon him Is too gross to
touch his good fame, and he Is now only
anxious to bring the slanderers to punsh-
mentr In the course of conversation we touched
upon various subjects OF public interest
among others, the subject OF the appropria-
tions granted to Louisiana for internal
improvements by the Congress just adj
iourned. 1t is entirely unjust, said Mr..
Acklin, that some newspapers should censure
the representatives from Louisiana for their
failure in obtaining more. They have sue
ceeded in getting from the Federal govern
ment this year more than has ever been
granted to Louisiana since the war. Their
combined efforts got S125, 900 for the improve
$4,000 for the harbor of New Orleans. /, my
self, with much exertion and difficulty,
obtained furthermore a special appro-
priation of $4,000 for the Lafourche
ALI this, as you may know, has not been
done without great deal OF work, and it
would be unjust in the people of Louisiana If
they did not appreciate it. 1t is hard,
know, for those who are not cognizant of the
facts to understand all the difficulties which
we had to overcome. AS it Is, | think that,
everything considered, appropriations
amounting in all to $1S5,000 are as much as
the people Of this State could expect with
good workers to push matters through for

THE ORLEANS ANNIVERSARY.
A Lively Time and Plenty Of Fasl
Pulling.

A Lively Time ana Plenty of Fasl
Pulling.
The celebration of the fifth anniversary O
the Orleans Rowing Club at their boat-houst
| yesterday WAS one of those affairs which the
club named know exactly how to manage
and, knowing how, arrange their programme
accordingly, not only to show the zeal and
hospitality of the members, but also to prove
to their guests that there was muscle In the
club.
The programme announced of a wherry
race, single seull shell race, four-oared gig
double scgll gig and four-oared shell, the
double soull gig being omitted owing to the
withdrawal of one Of the crews
The first race had as entries Mesars Gar,
roll and Read, and although the latter was
the favorlte, ho was vanqulshed by his COM
petltor with his boat Emma. The second
race, single eeull shells. had three entries,
Mesara. o. N. Edwards Madison Dallas and
7. j. dillen, and would have been won by
Dallas, who was length ahead with easy
work, but for the fact that his boat broke ia
two, compelling him TO put for tho Shore and
leaving Edwards the winner by four lengths.
The, iour,oared gig contest had two entries,
VIZ Inc boat Unpt. FarWell. with g. Btu
chanan stroke; b. Shields, No. Il w. l.. Pey-
ton, No. q; IL, M. Read, No. g.; II. Klein. cox
swain; and the boat T. j. Wells, with J. M.
Henderson,, stroke; John w. Reid, No. /; J..
j. Carroll, No.2; LIP Rice, No. 3; b. Bridges,
coxswain.
The Farwell crew won by about five
lengths, but were pushed somewhat
The four-oared shell race had two entries,
as follows: Boat (no nance Qight weights)
b. O. Shields, stroke; 2. J. Gillen, No. I; b,
M. King, No. 2; o. l.. Putnam, No. 3: T. Klein,
coxswaln; and the boat Sam Boyd (heavy
weight Q. Reilly, stroke; @. N. Edwards, No
/; j, b. Read, No, q; l.. ?. Rice, No. 8; b.
Bridges, coXswain.
In this race the light weights carried off the
palm, winning by three lengths after heavy
and rapid pull, closely pushed by their heavy
competitors and much to the surprise of all
except the knowing ones who took stock in
them.
The judges were Messrs. Geo. B. Penrose
and r. E. Browne, and the starter was L. S.
Watrous, who made the boys get off even and
without "kick."
After the races were over two new and
handsome paper shells belonging to the club
were christened by Mrs. d. B. Wood, who
named the four-oarned shell Charlie Wood
and the double-scull shell the Emma. ALI the
ceremonies completed the boat-house was
cleared, and q fine string band having been
provided, the balance OF the evening was de-
voted to dancing, which both the young ladies
and gentlemen seemed to enjoy.

CARNATZ INSTITUTE.

1t was our good fortune to assist last even
ing at the commencement exercises Of the
Carnatz Institute. There amateurs of music
and literature, recitation and oratory, had a
real treat on hand. Young girls from seven
years old to sweet sixteen entertained the
audience throughout the evening with varied
pieces Of French and English recitation, and
with music to delight souls thirsting for har-
monious notes. It would take too much of
our space to do justice to the youthful actors
and artists, and we will not be so invidlous as
to mention any one 10 particular. Suffice
it to say that Mrs. Carnatz has evidently
made great point on education, Ii we may

PROGRESSIVE MOVE.

The Gotten Presses Bring Down Their
Charges to Fifty Cents Per Bale.
We learn with great pleasure the owners of
the cotton presses of New Orleans have con-
cluded to reduce the price of COMPRISING to
FIFTY CENTS
per bale, the reduced charge to go into opera
ton on the first September next the begin
ming of the new commercial year. The price
will be uniformly extended to coastwise or
foreign sailing vessels, steamships and rail-
roads.
This move indicates progress, and 1t can
only be hailed with approval by al shipOWn-
ors East and aGEOSs the ocean. The charge
