1t was the unanimous opinion OF all
present at tie b.rquet given by the
Young Mems Sodality Lyceum at their
hall on Duke street last night that this
well-known organization had eclipsed
all previous entertainments given by
it's members. Nothing was left IN.
done which would have augmented the
endowment of any one. The committee
having it in charge were untiring in
their efforts to make it memorable
occasion in the history OF the organiza-
ton. and that every one was pleased
was evidenced by the smile of appre-
citation which was upon the counter
ance OF each OF the guests. The ban
uuet was held in the O'Ksne Reading
Room. which had been tastefully and
artistically decorated with no end OF
bunting in the way of f-g3, fcstoons,
streamers, ETC., while palms and ferns
were everywhere, and variegated lights
and banquet lamps illuminated the
room. In short every available part OF
the room was beautifully decorated,
and the company assembled were gen
ial spirits, who mingled and wed in
making every one feel perfectly at
home. The tables were arranged so as
to run north and south, and at an early
hour in the night they we're loaded
with the choicest fruits, cakes,
confectionaries, Get, in fact, every
thing that would appease the
cravings of the inner man. There was
the greatest profusion of eatables, which
had been prepared in the highest style
of the culinary art under the personal
supervision Of Mr.. Edward Rammel.
As the guests arrived they were usher
ed to the auditorium, where the Little
German Band" discoursed some very
pretty music, and shortly before nine
I o'clock the members and their friends
descended to the banquet room.
As each gentleman passed into the
room he was presented with a button
hole bouquet, each being ushered to his
seat with an ease which looked as
though the part had been rehearsed.
President Mccarthy then called the
semblage to order, saying that ne ex'
tended hearty welcome to all on this,

who could be the most attentive to their
guests, and they anticipated their every

THOUGH TIE negroes constitute the
only effective strength the republican
party has in Richmond, and though
more than half of Mr.. Harrison's audi

ceive him or had anything to do with
the meeting. They were allowed the

pubiicans and the boilers in Richmond,

negroes from any part Of the Harrison

the enforced objections OF the latter.

Mr.. HARRISON now says that the re-
sumption OF silver coinage would reduce
the value Of the silver dollar to fifty
cents and bring wreck and ruin on every
interest of the country, moral as well
as material. When ne was President,
q few years ago, he said: The enlarge
ment OF our currency by the silver bill
undoubtedly gave an upward tendency
to trade and mad marked effect on
prices, but this natural and desired eff
feet OF the silver legislation was by
many enormously attributed to the
tariff act" This shows the difference
between the e1-President now and
what he used 10 be.

The Florida Election.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 6.-The
weather throughout the State Is fair to-
day, and the election is progressing
peaceably, though the interest mani
tested is intense. 1t is apparent from
the reports thus far received that the
adoption of the Australian ballot law,
accompanied by an educational qualif-
cation and the payment Of poll tax, will
sensibly diminish the bulk Of the votes
cast. The general opinion is that the
legislative ticket hostile to Senator
