The argument on behalf of plaintiffs in the above cases on the exceptions filed by defendants was resumed yesterday evening by Chas. who contended that a tacit agreement was entered into between every Derson who mado a deposlt ihthe defendant bank and the dit.ctors of that institution, by which each tnbse directors bound himself personally to each depositor for the amount deposited by him in the event that the provisions of the free 1n.king act. under which the bank was organt.ed, were violated and the bank became there1 to Day the checks drawn against the 4toitsa.

to the Opeallm of the raehttigr sasem of 1850. The Southern Yatch Club yesterday evening held a meeting in the elegant club-house at New Lake End. Some time before the hour designated for this meeting the commodious headquarters of the club was thronged with members of the organization. The meeting was called to order by the president, Com, Emile O'Bgen, at 7:80 m. Of the ce members of the club about 900 were present, the largest number assembled together at any of the seassions this season.

The minates of the preceding meeting were read and adopted, and the reports of the various committees received. The report of the building committee, read by the ohairman, Mr. A. Claiborne, was a dooement well worthy of commendation and withal very interesting. It gave a detailed statement of ontrsot for and the cost of the new clubhodtise, designed by W.

H. Bell, architect, and constructed by A. Darling. The total cost of the building was with extras amounting to le7o0. The report was received and a vote of thanks orered to the chairman of the building committee.

THE OOMMITTK 01N PBIZES were unable to render a final report. It seems under some misconstruction that there have been two sets of prizes brought out to be competed for by our yachts. One is to be seen in Mr. Lilienthal's jewelry store, and the other in Mr. Strong's, on Canal street.

It is stated that they both cost about the same amount, and the respective merits of both sets seemed to be recognized by members of the yacht club. After a report of the chairman of the committee on prizes, Mr. Bareshide, Mr. Lilienthal. also a member of the club arose to make an explanation with reference to the prizes, which he stated he had ordered from a tacit understanding with the committee on prizes.

A communication or report from the committee was then read, stating that Mr. Lilienthal had ordered the prizes at his own risk, and that the committee considered itself under no obligations to purchase them. A motion was made for the discharge of the committee. It was lost. Then, on motion, a committee of investigation was appointed to examine into the matter.

This motion was afterward reconsidered, and another made by which the president was authorized to appoint an arbitrator on the part of Mr. Lilienthal and one on the part of the club; these two to appoint an umpire to decide the case as to whether the club should take or reject Mr. Lilienthal's prizes. TWO MOnt PBIzza. The president referred to the fact that Mr.

Maginnls had presented the club with two prizes, one to be contested for by the pleasure boats and the ouher by the Catamarans. The president, calling Mr. areshide to the chair, stated that it had been proposed to hold the first regatta of the season on May 12, but that as it had been utterly impossible to get the boats ready by the twelfth instant, he favored the twenty-sixth of May as the day on which the first race should occur. Motions were offered to the effect that the nineteenth of May be the day determined upon, but the twenty sixth was the date finally chosen by a large majority of the members. A discussion arose as to the number of tickets of entrance to the club house each member should be granted to be distributed among his friends on regatta days.

Three tickets was the number finally allowed. This discussion occasioned a desultory debate as to the scope of the family tickets each member was granted on regatta and festival days by the constitutlon of the club. Several bachelors argued that these ticekta were meant to embrace their lady friends. This question was answered in the negative by the president, who, like the Apostle Paul, counseled the bachelors to get married so their tickets would bring in a full quota. Here one member with eleven children arose and with apparent diffidence demanded if the scope of the members' family tickets might be extended so as to enter a A LA.GE FAMILT.

The president thought they did. Another member then wanted to know if the family tickets also might be stretched so as to include his sisters and his cousins and his aunts. He was answered "hardly ever," and seat down, apparently startled and astonished at his own audacity. The president here arose to inform the club thathe had hoped to read the new charter to the club at the meeting, but was unable to get it then. The document was afterwards procured.

It was drawn up by Mr. 0. T. Soniat and unanimoucly indorsed by the club. The club was then informed by the president that each captain entering a boat in the first day's race.

on May 26, would be required to leave a list of the names of his entire crew at the club-house on the morningof the race; and that the second day's race wss open to all, amateurs or professionals. The committee in charge of the second day's race consist of Messrs. Hanson. Walsh and Cenas. IL was recommended formally that the COMMITTEE ON MEASUREMENT should proceed to measure the yachts proposed to be entered in the regatta of May 26 at the eardest possible date, as there had not been the official measurement taken of a single yacht in the club.

It was agreed that the regatta for the challenge cup of 1878, which had been postponed on account of the Epidemic till this year. be run on the second Monday in June, while the cup race for this year should take place on the first Thursday in September. Thus there will be four regular regattas this year. After the election of forty-five new members the club adjourned. You can subdue all choleric diseases by the use of Reed's Gilt Edge Tonic.

THE gRAVES OF UNION SOLDIERS. The Grand Army of the Republic is making arrangements to celebrate in an appropriate manner the approaching ceremonies of the decoration of the graves of Union soldiers at Chalmette Cemetery. The magnificent steamer John W. Cannon has been secured to make regular trips from Canal-street every hour during the day. An attractive programme has been prepared.

Visitors will be welcomed by United tates troops from the Barracks, and on Canal street a memorial salute at noon will be fired by the Fifth Company Orleans Artillery. Capt. A. Sambola. The ceremonies at Chalmette open at 3 o'clock.

on the arrival of the 2 o'clock trip of the boat, A poem will be read by Capt. E. Tisd le, and an address delivered by prominent gentleman. Capt. Wright is exerting himself as chairman of the committee of arrangements to make the celebration worthy of the day.

uzqUIrITE NoVEJiralaN PUFUUa TED AT THaE ZNTF.TAINWIEN OF TEr LEB AIUOCIATION. On more than one occasion already we have acknowledged the inadequacy of the pen to give even a faint idea of the talent and splendor which the getters-up of our social entertainments in their efforts to succor the 1 poor and afflicted or immortalize the distinguished dead. But on no oceasion have we been so sensible of the weakness of newspaper descriptions as we were last evening after seeing the first tableau of the series presented at the Grand Opera House (the Varieties Theatre) by the Continental Guards. Company the entertainment being for the benefit of the Continenial Benevolent Association. With indescribable cleverness the stage, which had been converted into an art gallery, was hung with frames of various sizes and shapes, each containing a picture (consisting of human beings) so artistically disposed on the walls of the closed scene that the ideluslon was perfect in so far as the arrangement was concerned, and in point of detail exquisitely beautiful and correct.

To give our readers an idea of the dilfculty under which the writer labors in his attempt to convey an idea of the spectacle we shall say that the tableau is an imitation of an art exposition, composed of no fewer than forty portraits or pictures, with here and there a piece of living statuary that lent a charming contrast to the general effect. The art gallery embraced living imitations, equestrian tableaux and interior scenes, besides romantic portraits, several of which were so much admired at the recent art loan exposition at St. Patrick's Hall, and if there was any fault to be found with the presentation it was that the subjects were so numerous that the spectators had little time to admire a few of them before the curtain would go down. Among the subjects represented were an equestrian portrait of Gen. Lee; George Washington.

Martha Washington. Gen. OCuster. Sitting Bull. Louis Eugenie.

Lady Anna Bingham. Titian's Daughter. La Petite Marie. Ph(obe May Flower. Ophelia.

Swansdown. The Two Beatrice Cenc Haydee. The Signal, Uncle Toby and the Widow, The Two Dromios. Family res, Vestal Virgin. Evangeline, Deacon Jones Prayer, tiunrse, The Gipsy.

The Hungarian Girl. Several of these were tull length portraits, whilst others were striki houn attempting to do istice to the beauteous we understand emanates from the bright mind of Mrs. M. A. Tarleton, we must refer especially to Evangeline, Haydee, Lady Anna Bingham, represented with such effect and correctness by beautiful young ladies as to dissipate thoughts of Rubins, Murillos, tTlntorettos, Raphaels and the hosts of geniuses who have Immortalized the art of painting.

We mnight enter into a dissertation upon the relative merits of animated nature and works of art, but the pen again recoils befurethe task. Thestriking effects of "The Deacon's Prayer." the picturesque tableaux of the "Two OrI phans," "swansdown and the Signal." and the full size portrait of Gen. Custer will not soon be forgotten by those who saw them. But, reserving ourselves for another occasion -for the entertainment will be repeated this evening-we will proceed to speak briefly, however. of the second tableau, the GAME OF CHESS.

by living figures, and played on the stage, the audience having a side view of the game. The chessmen were represented by members of the company the "whites" in Continental uniform, a George Washington representing the king; and the blacks in British uniform, Lord Corn. wallis being the king. The queens were personated by two well-known ladies of this city. The game was the Evan's gambit, which was being played up the stage by E.

H. Farrar, Esa whites, and Leon L. Labatt. blacks, who, as they proceeded with the game, called out the moves on the board, which were repeated by the living chessmen on the stage, converted into a huae chess board. Inasmuch as this portion of the entertainment has a scientific signiflcance for the world of chess, we give the game in full.

The sixth move of the blacks (a) is a move introduced and believed to have been invented by the Hon. Chas. Maurian, president of the New Orleans Chess Club, and a quondam competitor of the great Paul Morphy himself. SEVAN'S GAMBIT: White. Black.

The closing tableaux was one of the Continental's most affective tableau vivants, WASHINGTON AT VALLEY FORGE, of which, as well as of the other gems of the entertainment, we will not fail to give a full and deserving account on Sunday morning, for let it hbe borne in mind, that this splendid entertainment, with additional attractions, is to be repeated this evening at the Varieties. There will be dancing after the performance and the refreshment tables will be provided with all the delicacies of the season. THE PEDDLERS' TROUBLES. How They Were Treated by the ReCorders. During the past few days the police, acting under instructions.have been waging a war against peisons peddling in the streets without a licence or permit from the Mayor, and the consequence has been that a number of persons, male and female, young old, have made their debut before the recorders on the charge of peddling without a license or permit.

On calling upon the various offenders some were found peddling blackberries that they had traveled miles through the swamps to gather, others strawberries that they had spent a year in raising, while the balance were peddling dry goods. blacking, soap, shoe-strings, cakes, etc. The f'cts of the arrest of these people were reported to Mayor Patton, who. appreciating the nature of the offense, and also knowing how tbard it was for many persons at present to make a living in this city, wrote a letter to the recorders stating that was not his desire to hav ePuld, bu e.o rders j.arer br te 8hLn disc l. parte brought tfee re term barbold them not to reTeht rested again they would pufln led.

They lso told them that if they woul call on the Mayor and prove to him tIhat were a to purchase a license he would, be was geaeronsly disposed towards any one who showed a willingness to earn an honest living, give them a permit to peddle their berries and wares.

THE CUSTO Almost a death stillness reigns atthe CustomHouse now-a-days, the few office-seekers about town having for a time even deserted the halls of the Granite Building, after vainly pestering the Collector, who now returns to a nook under the flag-staff in order to keep up his voluminous correspondence with Washington. POLITICAL, Kellogg is given up by the politicians-meaning that they have come to the conclusion that he must relinquish the Senatorship to Judge Spofford.

The reason for the conclusion is ascribed to the existence of evidence against Pi t's election which he or his friends have not been able to keep concealed, together with the utter failure which his cause has sustained in the attempt to create sympathy with him among certain factions of the Republican party herd Under the circumstances and in the anticipated event of the seating of Judge Spofford, numerous and important changes are expected among the subordinate officials in the various SUB-TBEASUBRY RECEIPTS.

Yesterday a friend of the DEMocRAT, whose name we will not mention, but keep back for emergencies, tnforms us that he paid a visit to our old time friend Charley Ballejo, and after an agreeable sampling of his excellent rye, accompanied him to his poultry yard, where he was shown a curiosity in the shape of an immense egg. He found that it weighed seven ounces, and was equal to four and a half of the ordinary len eag. This monster egg was laid in Mr. Ballelo's yard by one of his Mexican pheasant hens.

She and her mates are extraordinary birds, weighing nearly as much as a turkey, with rich plumage and shape of the American pheasant. They are easily domesticated, and are great layers and extremely hardy birds, Their flesh is much more delicate than either the chicken or turkey, and as they can be readily imported at a comparatively reasonable price, we hope our poultry fanciers will be induced to raise them. THE LILIENTHAL CUP. Mr. Lilienthal has offered for competition a handsome cup, to be shot for under the following conditions: The shooting will be open to all riflemen or National Guardsmen.

BOYS' HIGH SCHOOL PICNI C. Yesterday the boys of the Central High School gave their annual picnic at the Oakland Biding Park, and it was in every way a success. The chief feature of the entertainment was a game of base ball between a nine from among the scholars of Soule's Commerclal College and the nine of the High School boys. At the end of the game the score showed twenty runs for the High School nine, againat nine of the Soule boys. NEW LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB.

Yesterday an interesting interview took place at the City Hall, between the Mayor and a merchant of this city, who deals extensively in a coal oils, the subject of the conversation being, of course, the ordinance recently passed by the o.

Council stipulating the quantity of highly in- ti flammable oils that shall be permitted to be stored in any one building within the city limits, and prescribing the character of the receptacles of such oils. During the conversation, by the way, the Mayor informed his visitor that, in committee of the whole, the city administrators had agreed a to increase the quantity from fifty gallons to two hundred gallons, and that the ordinance would be amended accordingly. This would appear satisfactory, since nothing better can be I obtained; but the question at issue now is, whether the city can secure the coal oil men (should they establish a coal oil warehouse on Claiborne street near Louisiana Avenue)against a the action of future administrations that might I authorize the establishment of similar warehouses in more convenient or accessible locali- ties. a Messrs. Chess, Corliss the "standard" i coal oil that the ordinance suits them.

and that they will proceed to construct the i necessary warehouse, requiring no exclusive privilege, but provided that the city will obligate itself to maintain the limits specified in the ordinance during five years. This is the embarrassing point; and, said the Mayor, whilst he was very desirous of settling the question as equitably as possible, he could speak only for the present city administration, whose term of offtle would expire in the next eighteen months, but that the City Council could in nowsle bind a future municipal government in such a matter. The visitor suggested that there might be a way of making a contract that would ave the desired effect, yet he had no suguestion to make as to the nature of such a contract. The Mayor answered that he was at a loss himself to know how it could be made, but that the city attorney might be able to discover a legal method to the purpose, and he would. therefore.

There was a great deal more said at the interview touching the danger or Inoffensiveness of inflammable oils, the merchant maintaining that the dire effects of the material occurred almost universally in its consumption in households, and hardly ever whilst it was being han- i died in bulk or on storage. To this the Mayor answered that itwas nevertheless true that a calamity might happen at any moment as a resultant from the storage of very large quantities of the oil in the very centre of the commercial marts of the city: at all events, such were the apprehensions that had become populari'ed. and the Board of Underwriters and the firemen had freely expressed their views and fears on the subject. The merchant, who is a good talker, had a deal to say in refutation of the general objections advanced, and which he called theoreeoical, whilst practical experience, he satl, went to prove that the objections were unfounded; that it showed that whiskies, alcohol and chemicals, of an equal or more inflammable character, were stored in great abundance in the heart of the business portion of New Orleans.

Well, the matter goes to the city attorney. and it is yet possible that this vexed question may be soon solved to the satisfaction of all parties. PEDDLERS' LTCENSES.
