The threatened disruption in the democrat
party of this city was foreshadewed in des-
patches of Friday, when bolts were chron-
icled in almost every ward in which caucuses
we're held to select members of the democrat
ic wards and city committee. 1t was learned
tonight that the Herald will say that in ward
4, where large bolt of ''yeung democrats"
occurred, the check list was ''lost' by
the regulars; that they borrowed the voting
list of the ward from the police station, in
each of which full list of voters is kept.
Upon its return, and subsequent examina-
tion, it was discovered that nearly every
name on the list Was checked, as having
voted for the regular" nominees. There
are q large number of republicans in the
ward and quite number Of those whose names
we're on the list had died since the last re-
vision. All the dead men voted and nearly
all the republicans on the list we're checked.

JOE FOSTER.
A Comrades Sketch Of His Career as conted
crate Soldier.


Comrades Sketch OF His Career as confed
crate Soldier.
From the Fort Worth Gazettr.
| noticed in your issue of Sunday n
biographical sketch of Joseph Foster,
the alleged slayer of Ben Thompson,
written by your San Antonio correspond
tent. Your correspondent is certainly
not well acquainted with Fosters an
teoedents as his sketch contains many
errors. Foster was not mustered into
the service of the Confederate States by
Major Teel (who en-passant never was
Inspector General of the army of New
Mexico, but commanded battery, nor
were his comrades wild or reckless.
Foster Joined company of Independent
scouts. under command of George Madi-
son In New Mexico, formed when Gen
eral Sibley commenced the New Mexi-
can campaign, February, 1862. This
company, the members of which were
all residents Of that territory, acted as
scouts for General Sibley and did val
liable service. While il is true that most
of them, not all by any means, were
gamblers, they were an orderly, we'll
behaved set. This company during
that campaign served without pay
and styled themselves "Brlgands."
When Sibley retreated from New
Mexico, the Brigands followed his
army to san Antonio and shortly
after July, 1862, were mustered into the
Confederate service as Company l.
"Brigands" Phillips regiment Texas
cavalry. Colonel Phillips was killed Mt
the first serious engagement in Louisiana
at Fort Butler or Donaldsonville. The
Captain Phillips your correspondent
alludes to, who was killed in San An
tonic by Major Hunter, was never cap
tain of that company. Captain ii. ii.
(llank) Hall. who was killed in Paris by
Il son of Judge Hardin Hart, was its
first captain. Foster served as sergeant
in said company until our brigande
(MaiorA brigande) was ordered from
Louisiana TO Virginia Point, near Gal
weston, January, 1863, when he was
commissioned in regiment to be formed
by Colonel Terry. This project falling
through he joined Captain X. l.. Swope's
company AT San Antonio.
The writer of this knew Foster in New
Mexico and became u member of Com
pany Il himself, after his battalion, the
Arizona battalion, was disbanded owing
to paucity of numbers Mt Chretien's
Point, near Opelousas. La. in November.
1863.
Foster was brave soldier, true
friend, always willing to share his LAST
crusts, and those that knew him as well
as the writer can but feel some regret at
his tragical demise. Peace to his ashes.

Denlson. March u. 1881.

LONDON, March 2G.-The putting of the
war sloop Alert, recently presented by
England to America, to participate in
the Greeley relief expedition, in com
mission yesterday was becomingly cele-
brated. James Russell Lowell hoisted
the American colors at the Alert's peak,
and 80 guests lunched on board, among
whom were the Earl of n orthbrook, First
Lord of the admiralty, Lord Alcestor,
and Admiral Seymour, and the Junior
Lord of the admiralty. Conspicuous
among the company were many famous
for arctic exploration, such as Vice Adj
miral Sir Francis McClintook, who ac-
companied the Sir John Franklin in
search expeditions of 1918 and 1850, and
commanded that of 1857, Sir Allen
Young who served under McClintock in
the Fox, and has made two expeditions
since In the Pantora; Sir George Mares,
who commanded the Alert on her pre-
vious visit TO the arctic regions 10 years
ago. Commander Parr, who accom-
panied the some expedition, and Mr..
Leigh Smith. who in the last IL years
has made IL voyages to the North.
Lieutenant Commander Chadwick, naval
attache to the American legation, was
present, also Lieutenant Commander
Goodrich, who will take the Alert to
America. Mr. Lowell proposed the
toast "to the Queen" to which the Earl
of Northbrook responded. He said the
Queen took deep interest in the expedi-
ton in which the Alert was to share,
and had felt great pleasure in authoriz-
ing the offer of the Alert to the Ameri-
can government. A toast was then pro-
posed TO the success of the expedition.
