THE C0NTINENTALS.

On the third OF July next the Continental
Guards will start for Mobile on their excur-
sion with big railroad train sufficient to
carry all the good people who will want to
go, and we know that their name is legion.
They will bring everybody back that is COM
atable on the fifth, and will only charge for
the round trip So 50. We have heard OF many
parties who will bring their families along
with them, confident that the Continentals,
after their usual fashion, have made all ar
rangements perfect. The rates for board and
lodging at the hotels are all fixed, and every
thing is In ship-shape order.
On the night of July 8, the Continentals
will perform their beautiful military tableaux
at the Mobile Theatre and on the fourth there
will be dress parade at Frascati. Outside
Of this there will be an excursion on the
fourth to Point Clear, and If this Is not plea
sure and glory enough for one day, then we
do not know anything about it.

MUNICIPAL MATTERS.
THE CITY RAILROAD COMPANY-THR
CANAL STREET FERRYROAT.

The contract between the municipal cor.
poratlon and the City Railroad Company, con.
corning the advance of money to be made by
the railroad company to repair the protection
levee, will probably be signed tomorrow, and
there Is another probability, it Is that the
company will agree to reduce their fare for
the round trip to the lake to fifteen cents, dats
ing from the signing Of the contract.
THE FERRYBoAT.
Mr.. Thomas Pickles has purchased the
piece of ground adjoining the Alglers landing
u the Canal street ferryboat thereby settling
the differences between himself and Mr..
kouns. In connection with the Canal street
Terry, we may say that many complaints
nave OF late been made by the patrons of the
Terry against tramps and idle negroes who
congregate ON the wharf and In the station OF
the Terry Intended for the accommodation Of
passengers. At times the landing and station
are almost entirely monopolized by q filthy
class Of lndividuals, white and black whose oh
scene language and manners have cansed fro.

ton in many cities in this country and In E,I-
rope, where the passenger has to present his
ticket or pay his fare at the station door Of
railroads and ferry boats. By the adoption
OF this system by Mr.. Pickles nobody would
be injured, and his lady passengers especially
would be avoided unpleasant sights and ex-
pressions not fit for the ears of chaste w0.
men.

ARMY OF TENNESSEE.

We omitted to mention yesterday that ac-
cording to a resolution passed at the meeting
Of the Louisiana Division of the Army Of
Tennessee, on Friday night, the Army of
Northern Virginia and all other charitable
and military organizations were cordially in
vited to join in the excursion It is to be
hoped that many will accept the invitation,
as this Is chance that may never occur
again to drink in the eloquence of the hero
and statesman Of the late Confederacy. Par
ties DESTROYS of joining the excursion are re-
quested to report with or without uniforms
or badges to the executive committee, No

LOUTsIANA's OWN.

All those who remember the stirring times
that inaugurated the redemption of Louisiana
from Radical rule, must retain fresh in their
memory the remembrance of "Louisiana's
Own" and their regretted and gallant colonel,
John G. Angel. Since then the regiment has
experienced many viCisstudes. Through
some cause or other, which has been matter
of deep regret to the organization, Col. Euclid
Borland and Major l.. L. Lincoln resigned,
and at one time 1t was thought that the regi-
ment would go to pieces. Happily this did
not happen; in April last the remnants of the
regiment reorganized as battalion, and the
field and staff now stand sofiicered as follows:
J. D. Hill, lieutenant colonel.
Henry Pickles, ma Or.
Capt. J. Brewer, a6Jutant.
Capt. W. III. Chaffe quartermas
Capt. J. d. G. Stevenson, cOmmissary.
II. Fl. Bryan, Jr-, sergeant major.
Company A.-Captain, William Gowland;
first lieutenant, l.. B. Hollingsworth; second
Lieutenant NJ. J, Hart.
Company Bs-Captain, George D. Moffat;
first lieutenant w. w, Crane; second lieu
! tenant, Alfred Penn.
Company C-Captain, Charles o. Donnoud;
first lieutenant, j. M. Frost; second lieu
tenant, J, Ii. Hanrahan.
Company D.-Captain, T. Selles; first lieu
tenant, IL. Z. PeyrOux; second lieutenant, b.
Z. ChOate.
Company E.-Captain, T. G. McCandlish;
| first lieutenant, John A. Cairns; second leu
tenant, j. B. Cefalu.
| Last night Major Clement Walker inspected
the battalion at Armory Hall, Major Pickles
being In command. Notwithstanding the
bad weather, Saturday night and that 1t was
election day, the men mustered in very fair
numbers. The officers, however, say that
they are not satisfied, inasmuch as the full
strength of the battalion was not shown. An
other inspection will be held on the fourth of
July, and we have no doubt that 'Louisiana's
Own" will come up to its old standard.
| THE STATE NATIONAL BANK appears in our
columns this morning with its semi-annual
statement. 1t has reduced its capital stock, as
| the demand for money at a remunerative rate
of interest is confined to SO limited portion of
the year that it is not possible to find safe
business to yield profits and from which Sta O.,
city and national taxes can be paid and divi-
dends made to stockholders on large capital.
Its present capital of $425.o and reserve of
ss5 OOO making $4,000, is ample for legitimate
banking purposes.
| This reduction of capital leaves a large
amount of undivided profits that will be distrib-
uted to the stockholders semi-annually. Its
present dividend is Is per cent. FIVE per cent
| OF this is from net earnings for the past six
months (which have been IN per cent on it's re-
duced caDttal), and 10 per cent from reduced
capital fund. Dividends will be made from
| year to year. semi annually, OF probably not
and undivided profits until the large amount of
undivided profts-over GOO, after deducting
| the present dividend of Is per cent-shall have
BEEN distributed to the ckholders.
The stock will no doubt be sought for as an
Investment, and will prove Eemuneratfve In
these times of low interest.
