UdDdteds bf tns people went to JIUne-: burg last night for the purpose of it-nesBiDgr the famoos Vondoa rites, au-nounced to be inaugurated there. We fancy, however, that the larger and more important demonstration will take place to-night. AnniTeraaxy.

The members of the Young Men's Be- nerolent Atsoeiatlon of this' city win celebrate, on Sunday next, the 28th of one, the sixteenth anniversary of their association. The organization, while of the oldest in the city, has made for itself a name of which its members may well be proud, and their anniversary entertainment is one which is always made the occasion of the greatest pleasure. The Independent Movement. Last week we pointed out one or two very suggestive items of resemblano-v between the extremists of the Kepubv kcan and Democratic parties. Th former, who have been in power ami abused their privileges, revile the Pic: aynne because it demands that thej shall be replaced by noneat men the latter, who are striving, to supplant th former, revile the Picayune because it declines to aid them unless they show that their tenure will not be disfigured by the very evils we already oomplaii of.

The difference between the two factions appears to be a slmnle one of name; and names pass for very littlt just now. These gentlemen will finrt that the intelligent people of Louisiana have pretty well concluded to ignore parties, however alluring tlteir promise may be, and to countenance only euph men as possess their esteem and confidence. And now the Independent Clubs are incurring the displeasure under whiob the Picayune Jready languishes. Theii organization -on the basis announced some time ago in our cemmns is equally an and the enmity visited on theaa, increasing with their development and intensifying with their advance, has assumed a ranoor and a bitternes quite fearfnL The little-clique of patriots and political wet-nurses waxes truculent, the columns of its little organ -axe -eruptive with, threats and lasnentartions. This public, having-an unclean establishment, and desiring to renovate the same with the best and most effectual instruments at hand, must be at once snubbed and instructed.

Our anointed brethren have a manufactory where tbey tuxn out the only brooms and dust pans suited to a free and high-spirited community. If we take their wares, prosperity and cleanliness will follow; if not 'if we prefer te go upon the market and pick the article; without reference to label or advertisement than are the pillars of the universe demolished, and the institutions of freedom consigned to utter and, perpetual wreck. So say, at least. But he independent movement appears to bear up against these disma1 prophecies. One body after another falls into line; on citizen after another recognises in it the promise of our common deliverance.

The action last night of the Crescent City Club one of the strongest and most influential in the city chimes with the key-note we have struck, and there is every reason to believe that its example will be followed almost unanimously. It begins to look as though Mrs. Gamp won't have -the nursing of this political babe. 4 Hot tbe ttnt.of Its Kind. The steam yacht Johanna, reached here is said to have come from Cbataqua Lake in New York by inland water ion tea; achieving a trip of 2600 miles in eight months.

This feat ia described by the Times as unparalleled whicii indeed it is in the matter of time, being almost as protracted an' affair as the famous widow's epoken of in tne but it is a mis-! take to say that no trip has even been made by steam.

Trouble Among tn Folksw (NBARMOMOUS REBUBLICAN GaTHECIN'iV Last Monday evening the neighborhood of Delord street, near Dryndes. iower siae. was startled by load shoaU nd huzzas, followed by several pistol shots, and a rush Of frightened country-looking negroes, who nevei stopped until they got well away, and then congratulating each other with Well, l'ae got enough of dis." One ol the blacks said, while running. "It'ed be better for all of us if de Democrat was in office, and den dar would be no murderers." i After the fright was over among the people, we moved along Triton Walk to the middle of the block street, until we reached a soda water shop, and at the back of this, in a small room, was a surging massSof black, sprinkled here and there with a white face, styled a club meeting. Clubs were trumps, sure enough especially among those connected with the police who were presens.

We inquired as to the row but tne negroes were dumb but now and then we could hear Casey" Herwi etc One negro had his thumb nearly cut oil by, as he stated, a brother policeman. No one wns.abot but the whole affair woe characteristic of the gatherings of this delectable set of politicians, who imagine that might makes right, and that fashions prevalent in Congo ought to suit New Orleans. After the riot calmed down to a noisy and boisterous meeting, a number of women stood outside the gateway lead ing to the meeting room, several of whom, evidently from their accent, were of Irish birth. One of the women said. "Och, I Wish I could tt me Mickey out from them white and black nazers me Mickey is an Irish American Bepub-lican, and he is to make a spaohe in there to-ttight, and I don't like the company he's in at all at all; every -color should kape to thimseives but me Mickey's on the perh oe, and it's bread and mate wid us just now yet I wish hint well out of this disgrace." After the adjournment ef the noisy crowd, the cursing and swearing among the Nation's Ward's" was shocking to ears polite, and their boisterous behavior smacked more of Danomey than Ameri ca.

These black people have much to learn before they become citizens in the real sense of the word. Testimony1 in Police Courts. ti fa Si Judge Atocha has issued an order, ad dressed' to all the municipal and poller magistrates, in reference to r(he manner in whioh they shall take the evidence of persons before them. It ia stated that; the law provides that the testimony ot witnesses in all criminal cases that shall go op to "the FirstTiisirict "Court or the-Superior Criminal Court, shall be takeuj directly and word for word as the wit-1 ness gives it. This rule is absolutely'.

necessary; it is the only mode by which counsel are able to show difference or contradiction ef testimony. Indeed, it; is tbe only mode by whioh any testi-j mocy at all can be taken. Instead of: doing this, it has been the custom toj allow a witness to give testimony, and then take -ska aside and: there? away i from the judge and counsel, to prepares tbe testimony, have it written out and signed. The Judgecbaracterized this as! contradictory and opposed to all ideas of testimony. He has aceordfngly issued; this order, and will have it enforced.

Recruits for the White League Everybody knows the Crescent Citv- Club a Democratic organization in 1SBS and again in 1872, composed entirely of gentlemen occupying the highest social position, and numbering in its ranks many of our most prosperous and influential business men. It has always been A Powerful Body, respected for its strentth and intelli gence and standing looked up to on ac count of its moderation and considera tion; and honored because most of its members have suffered for the principles they proclaim, and have demonstrated on the battle-field that patriotism which tbey profess to cherish. Naturally the reorganization of such a clnb was regarded with interest. People were anxious to learn what tone and temper would pervade its councils, and to see under which of rival banners its dag. would be unfurled.

When it be came known, therefo that a Preliminary Alee ting of the old members was to take place last night, nearly two hundred gentlemen -assembled at Eagle Hall, corner of Prytania and Felicity streets. The meeting was called to order at 7:80, Major Fred N. Ogdon In the chair, and a committee composed of Messrs Sam Flower. James Buckner, John Payne and F. M.

Southmayd, together with tbe chairman, appointed to draft by-laws and constitution short recess waS then taken, during which the members were Invited to sign the new roll of the clnb. About fifty signatures resulted. Upon the resumption of proceedings, tha general desire for some Jfxpreasien of Policy became apparent. A majority of those present assembled for the purpose of ascertaining what course the Ciesoent City Club would elect to pursue, and the feeling was now made manifest. Considering the club's original character and past record, perhaps it was natural that the question of pronouncing for the Democratic party should, arise first.

At all events, that question did arise. A gentleman present mounted the rostrum and put.it to the audienoe. Apparently He conceived there was some doubt as to tbe strict Democracy of the Crescent City Club, and a rather hopeless pros pect of evoking such Democracy at that time, for the speaker confined himpif to the argument that tbe club ought to to owe Any Declaration of policy or principle until the forth coming address of the Democratic Cen tral Committee should issue. This, however, modest and onexacting though it seemed, was not approved, and, after a somewhat lengthy presentation of the case, was put to the vote and lost. Following the non-committal propo sition, Mr.

Southmayd suggested that the club should organize for "the campaign of 1874 under the title of the Crescent City White League no nartv name: no nartv platform: simply the White And this motion was at once adopted. The meeting iihen adjourned until Tuesday next, when permanent organi sation will be had, officers elected and measures inaugurated. Meanwhile, we think these events cannot fail to strike the publio as signi ficant. There are few clubs in New Oilcans which equal the Crescent City in point of numbers, -character and influence. Its action and expressions repre sent those of a very large element, a most intelligent and influential element of our population and this attitude is proportionateiyeuggestive.

It portends, as the Pioayane has maintained all along, that party names are not destined to exert anv portion of their old magie, and that platforms will be judged chiefly by tbe men who advocate them. It is a portent of reform, and victory and political wisdom aad could have chosen no abler or more reliable pioneer for such movement than the Crescent City Club. Southern Dramatic Club. We inadvertently omitted to acknowledge the courtesy of the gentlemen of this club in placing a box at the disposal of the press Monday night. The attention was a most thoughtful and gracio us proceed -ing, The people around at the Southern Express office have rather prided themselves on promptness and industry, bnt they say now that Cundurango ters beats them hollow.

For strict attention to business, unvarying success, and' all that sort of thing, they have never seen the equal of Cundarango. Talk about a bushel of tomatoes driving the chills of a- family 1 They are ready to bet that a bottle of Cundurango will drive a cartload of tomatoes out of the same family in half the time-They bet on Cundurango around at the Southern Express office. Bear in' mind the Great Jackson Bail-road is tbe only lino fiom New Orleans running Pullman sleeping cars to St. Louis, Chicago and' Louisville without change. Time to points North via Mobile Line is many hours quicker than via any other route.

This is the only line havin Pullman palace cars from this city to Louisville, Charlotte and Virginia Hprirgs. Two less changes to all points North than via any other line. New-York prohibitionists think tliat they can muster 24,000 votes next fall. THE CHURCH IN CQURCIL Dr. Palmer's Resignation Be- fore the Presbytery.

The University Proposition. A meeting of almost the entire con gregation of the First Presbyterian Church was held at that edifice, yesterday evening, to consider the resignation of Dr. Palmer, for many years pastor of that church. The invitation of the Southwestern Presbyterian University to Dr. Palmer to become the Chancellor and financial agent of that institution was read.

It showed that the University was a long desired want of the Southwest, and begged the First Presbyterian Church to spare its pastor to organize, equip and inaugurate the University. Mr.Bainey, on behalf of the Presbytery, desired to hear the argument in favor of dissolving' tbe ties existing between the congregation and Dr. Palmer; he then desired an adjournment until Friday evening to allow membeis of the Presbytery to prepare counter arguments. Mr. Shearer, as agent of the Southwestern University, made the first ad-drees, as follows In considering the personal usefulness of a pastor, it has always been the habit of tbe Presbyterian church to give good weight to his pereonsl desires.

The pastor of your church is anxious to do this great work for the church. This work was about to bo inaugurated in 1SC0, when the war came on. In 1860 it was recommenced, and now every pres-byteiy of the Southwest has joined in tbe prayer for the foundation of the university. Six synods in the Southwest are in favor of it; promise everythingpatronage, subscription and employment Texaa, Arkansas, Memphis, Nashville and Mississippi, including Louisiana. All the other denominations have founded denominational colleges in tbe Southwest, save the Presbyterians; the Episcopalians have one at Sewanee, and the Methodists at Nashville.

We are resolved to make the University a success. The Bible will be taught In it, as a necessary and important part of education. But for it to be successful yon must give up your pastor. Already the college has been inaugurated in Stewart College, at Clarksville, with 125 students. Two-fif tha of the sum wanted (half a million) is provided.

The rest will follow sooD, with Palmer as our Chancellor. Dr. Palmer announced that he had a few words to eay himself I have the greatest love for the South; west, and this change I had proposed to make, was simply from a belief that i was for the benefit of that section. Th Presbyterian Church must provide som college to educate its youth it mus not send them abroad to be instructed For thirty years we followed the plan building synodical colleges. I was al ways in favor of a central college for all Presbyterians; we have now a chance to do this.

The position I have accepted is not agreeable the work is not pleasant. I must travel around, give up my home in the laborious task of traveling ever the Union for the money to establish this University. I only do it from a sense of duty. It might cause bad feelings towards me, but yet it is a duty eannot neglect. However be the decision of the Presbytery to reject or accept my re signation, I will willingly abide it.

The Presbytery aud congregation then adjourned to Friday evening, when the other side of the question will be heard. Another Outrage. THE fourth, district and negro RUFKIAXS. The freedom with which lawless characters infest the eity, practicing their nefarious tricks, is truly alarming, and calls for a change in the character of the police. Monday morning, at half-past 9 o'clock, in one of the most thickly pop ulated portions of the Fourth District, the daughter of one of our leading citi zens was accosted by a filthy negro, who atlemnted to nlaee his hand noon her shoulder.

Becoming alarmed at this offensive gesture, the young lady fled. hoping to escape her assailant. Bat the negro pursued her to the door of her lather's residence, retreating only when she violently rang the door bell. Complaints of this nature are too frequent to reflect much credit upon tbe organization, of the up town police, and it is hoped that the' proper authorities will look into the matter. It has become so common for ladies to be accosted in the day, time, in the Fourth District, that many fear to venture out alone.

This fact bears ita own commentary on its Over half a million a year for police', and ladies afraid to venture out in the day time alone! Suspicious Document from' the President Says a Washington special of the 20th President's nessage recommending an increase of the rate of interest on tbe bonds in which it is proposed to fund the District debt has not been favorably received. It appears to be more in tbe interest of the District ring and speculators than of the people. Immediately after it was read in tha Senate. Mr. Thurman moved its reference to the Joint Committee on the District, and manifested a desire to speak, bat yielded at tbe request of Mr.

Morrill, of Maine, remarking as he did so, in an audible tone aside, "I only want to knock this thing in the head, and I can do it in just fifteen minutes." The recommend ation will not be acted upon, if appearances are not sadly deceptive. Beds of coal and deposits of nickel ore have been discovered on the road from Teheran to Talecfcan, in Persia.
