Nuw ORLEANS, Feb. 2, 1870, A committee appointed by a meeting in Lafayette square, on Monday night, waited on Governor War- moth this afternoon and presented their resolu- tions. Governor Warmoth in reply sald he was glad, personally, to see them. He desired, however, to say something relative to that meeting, in justice to himself and the government he represented, and stated that he haa vetoed a great many bills making subsidy grants to individuals and companies, which, in a few instances, had been passed over his veto; that there were many persons to the Legisiature ignorant of the manipulations of the lobbymen, who had been recently enfranchised, that would have to be instructed. He sald:—‘I think, gentlemen, that if you will give me the support and assistance which you ought to give trom your standing in this community, we shail pe uble to restrain these people from runntng into the excesses complained Of In these resolutions, Let me make one complaint agatost you, gentlemen, as the representatives vd those 1u-whose behalf you ap- pear. You charge the Legislature with passing, cor- Tupily, many btils looking to the personal aggran- dizement of individuals and poupomseene. Let me suggest to you that these individuals and corpora+ Wons are your very best people. For instance, this Bank bill, that 1s peing loobied through the Legisia- ture now, by the hardest kind of work. We have been able to defeat this bill twice in the House, and now at is up again. Who are doing it? Your bapk presidents; the best people of the city of New Or- leans are crowding the lobby of the jisiature, continually whispering brives Into theso men’s ears to pass, this measure. How are we to defend the State against the interposition of these people, who ave potent in their influence in this community me The Governor went on at length, making dis- closures ag to ‘how various measures were engi- heered through the Legisiature by these same good citizens, to sign one of waich he had been offered $59,000 by one party. And in addition Mayor Con- way, of this city, liad offered him any consideration to sign it. The. bul was vetved. The bill here ra- ferred to was the $6,000,000 gold bona bill for re- deeming tne city money. Hie was also offered $50,000 to isign the Nicolson pavement bill, which he vevoed, ‘The Governor complained of Une refusal of the leading men of the State to counsei With him, althvugh he had in- vited them, and said, “i make this complaint to you as an individual; I make it as @ citizen of Louisiana, Leame here to settle among you, al- though by accident I pave been elevated to the posi.

I think | have a right to ask it, and L you will give 1t 1 assure you Uiat many of the evils complained of Will be avoided.” In the course of his remarks the Governor stated that Auditor Wickit had robbed the State of a half mullion of dollars. He said in conclusion that tt was his purpose to administer the affairs of the govern- ment of the State to the best of his ability for the interest and welfare of the people, and he invited the assistance and co-operation of all good citizens.

OBITUARY. James Moncrief. This distinguished lawyer and ex-Judgeof the Su- porior Court of New York departed this life on the Ast inst., in the forty-eighth year of his age, He was of Scotch descent and was born in Harrison county, Ohio, on the 224 of September, 1822. While quite young his parents moved to tls city, where he re- ceived a moderate education until he had arrived at the age of fourteen, when he entered the law ofice of General Philip 8. Crooke. Soon after his admis- ston to the bar Mr, Monerief became a partner of the late Daniel B, ‘Tallmadge, after whose death he was received as partner by Hon. John H. McCunn, on the recom- Mmendation of Charles O’Conor and other lawyers of eminence who had been attractea by the ability and zeal displayed by the young attorney. As early as 1847 Mr. Moncrief was adinitied to practise in the Supreme Court of the Uniteu States. His business was large and lucrative, and the uniform success that attended his efforts gained him an enytable reputa- tion in the legal profession. In 1358 he was nomi- nated to fill a vacancy on the bench of the Superior Court, created by the death of Chief Justice Dun, and was closen for tis high position at the general elec- tion held in ovember of the same year. In 1859, after holding the office for hot quite a year, he gave sucn general satisfaction that he was re-elected, and for the full term of six years, ending December, 1868, At the expiration of this term Judge Moncrief retirea from the bench, to the great regret of all who had busineas ‘with the Superior Court. Ip 1867 he was nominated for delegate to the Constitutional Convention, but declined the nomination. Judge Moncrief’s public career was pure and honorable, his private life was none the less marked by the most commendable virtues. As a@ triend he Was warm-hearted and devoted. ‘The voice of aifiiction ever moved him to deeds of charity, which were the more exalted be- cause they were never blazoned forth to to the world. But it was as a son that the private virtues of Mr. Moncrief shone with the steadiest light. Whon but a lad of fourteen his father died and upon him devolved the duty of providing tor the bereaved family. From that time to the hour of his mother’s death he was untiring in his efforts to promote her happiness and to surround her with every comfort that his means could afford. There is said to have been something inexpressibly touching iu his filial affection. This performance as an act of pure love of one of the most sacred of duties tm- parts a more enduring fame to Judge Moncrief than bis purity as a judge, ability as a lawyer aud emi- Mence as a scholar can ever bestow. Hernco Binney, Jr. A despatch from Philadelphia reports the death on yesterday, after @ brief illness, of this weil known Pennsylvanian, Mr. Binney was a son of Horace Binney, now a venerable gentleman of ninety-four years of age, who was conspicuous during the anti- siavery excitement for the part he took with the abolitionists against the “peculiar inslitttion” of the Souch, The Seceased received a liberal education, and at the outbreak Of the rebellion had won an ex- tended reputation asa lawyer. During the contest he was president of the Pennsylvania branch of the Sanitary Commission, and as such rendered effective gid to the government and army. At the time of nis death he was president of the Union League Club of ot Mr. Binney was a man of marked bilities, He was a strong repubiicdn in politics and was very popular with the public, but he does not ore to have been possessed of any auibition for oltice.

Promiscuous High Daddy and Its Advocates in Union Square—A Disgraceful “Lecture.” A motley and promiscuous assemblage met in the hall over Neil Bryant’s billiard rooms last evening to hear the lecture of Dr. Newbury on the “Relation of the Temperaments and Their Infimence Upon Of- apring.’’ There were about a dmzen ladies pre sent and one or two representaty‘ves of ‘sweet six- ween,” who wished to be bev.er informed on the variety, value aud use to WhY)h they should put out their temperament. ‘The Doctor, who had wot been to bed for eight successive nights, nor, “pvarentiy, in the hands of his barber for twice “pat time, now wore his most ferocious aspect, apa seemod the umpersqnasion of Valcan, with @ cheesécake im his mouth. He launched out into an incoherent jumble of princt- ples Frenatio temperaments, and of divisions and il one was fairly at a loss to know What he was driving at. The upshot of tne dis- course, however, went to advocate perfect pro- miscuity in the intercourse of the sexes, as in the lower orders of animals, Luxury he con- sidered the basis of heal and self-deniat hurtful to the rull and active development of the Datural temperament. He had by bim crayon draw- ings of Napoleon, the humbug showman’s “prize baby,’? the French goddess of iber in a low bodice, and some ilustrations of “happily balanced” female temperaments in light mer costume, tho inspiration of which the artist evidently drew from the Venus de Medicl, As the lecturer told of electric influences received by him in his boot from snakes and communicated in turn by him to’paralytic frogs, and explained it all on the principle of tem- perementa, ‘the sentiment of some quiet, innocent looking ladies and gentlemen in the crowd, as still thelr wonder grew, was how one small head could carry all the lecturer knew on this delicate and in- teresting but peculiarly inappropriate subject for & mixed auditory. Some were amused by the lec- turer and somé were annoyed, but uo one was in- PRINCE ARTHUR. Movements of His Royal Highness Yesterday. He Visits the Harbor Fortificattons—A Re- view at Fort Wadsworth—A Lunch at Fort Columbus and a “German” at Governor's Island, THE PRINCE AT THE CHARITY BALL. The announcement i the HERALD of yesterday morning that Prince Arthur would visit the harbor fortifications had the effect of drawing together yesterday forenoon quite a large crowd of people at the Custom House wharf, whence it became known, some way or another, that bis Royal Highness would gail for the lower bay, All the arrangements for the trip were made by General McDowell, the commander of the Depart- ment of the East. The steamer Minnehanock lay moored at the wharf awalting the arrival of the Prince at an early nour, and by ten o'clock, thé time xed for the departure, all the tavited guests, with the exception of his Koyal Highness, had arrived, ‘They numbered about one hundred and ‘fty, and among them were General McDowell, General Ingalls, General Morris, General Aspmwall, General Shaler, Admiral Stringham, Admiral Godon, Colonel Perry, Colonel Hildt and @ large number of the officers from the various forts, all in full’ dress unjforma, The party was an exceedingly select one and was made all the more attractive by the presence of a goodly numbor of beautiful young ladies, Indeed, how General McDowell managed to get together so many ‘belies’? at short notice was the subject of much comment among the oiiters, and as he dis- claimed the charge that he had taken good care to make selections for the occasion everybody was lett to believe that chance, like a good many other things, ia very favorable to royalty. ‘The steamer lay at the wharf for over an hour, with its briliiant company on board, before there was any indicauon of the arrival of the Prince. “What could have delayed him?’ was the general query. Had he finally succumbed to the same fate asthe Irishman whom @ countryman once ‘killed with kindness?” or had Mr. Grinnell the night before 60 managed his Royal Highness’ dishes aa w make @ little extra sleep somewhat desirable ¢ Then, again, others suggested that he might pos sibly have lost bis way in the city, as strangers, strange to say, often do in this town of ours. In fact, everybody had so questioned everybody else atid offered so many suggestions aa to the Prince’s delay tudt many were about to give up the idea of going on the excursion at all, When @ shout from the crowd outside the gate of the wharf told them that his Koyal Highness was coming, and in another moment his carriage drove on to the wharf and he stepped out, looking as fresh and as hearty as ever, The moment the carriage came along General McDowell, with lis stat, made his appearance at tue gang plank, and, as the Prince and bis suite passed through a doubie line of regular solaers (Who presented aris 48 his Royal Highness came ulong), stepped lorward wad wok him quite cor- dually by tie hand. ‘The crowd on the wharf gave the royal guest a heurty cheer as ne reached the deck, and soon after- wards tue wariue band on board played “God save tue Queen,” and the british tag was hoisted at the bow. The American colors were then run up at the stern, the bana playing meanwhile ‘tail Columuta.”? A lew moments later whe Prince disappeared from the upper deck aud made his way to the cabla, where a bevy of young ladies soon had him entan- gled in the mesbes of their glances, and unul the boat reached Governor's isiand tuey succeeded in keeping hiin almost exclusively to themselves. ‘Tne first place visited by the party was Fort Ham- ilton, Where they Were received by the officers, who did all in their power to make their short say a pleasant one. ‘ihe Prince was conducted through Ue grounds and was siown the guns and every- thing that was of Interest about the piace. Fort Lalayetle Was not forgotten, and bis Koyal High- ness was informed of tne uses to which it had been put during the war, although it 1s quite cnaritabie to suppose that he had heard of tat terrible vastile before. Fort Kichmond, on the Staten Island shore, ‘Was neXt visited, and the party had a very pleasant time of it roaming Uurough the immense tortifica- tion and listening to \ue explanations of the olicers as to ihe caiibre of the big guns, tile power of the projecuies which (hey could throw and the fate which awallied any enemy's crait which would yre- sume, in “an unguarded moment,” as one of the ollicers expressed 1 t@ run up to te city with evil iIntentious. Fort Wadsworth and Fort Columbus came next in turn, and at the later place, after the party had in- pected everytuing thought worth inspecting, an elegant luuch was found awaiting General McDow- eli's guesis. ‘The keen sea breeze, which, tt may be suid, Wus rather loo keen on the upper decks of the steamer for tuose of the party Who had pever been Inthe arctic regions—and the Prince was one of them—bad given everybody & good appetite, and un- der the circiuustances the eatabies and drinkables were by Lo means despised. ‘the lunch was @ very elegant one, aud the lise of it Fort Coluavus prova- bly never saw betore, At Fort Wadsworth, shortly after the arrival of the Steamer, and when the company had secu all wortn being seen about the fortiticauons, @ review of the troops Was had. ‘They consisted of tive companies of tue regular artillery, and presented a splendid ap-' pearauce. Toe Prince, With jus ule, passed down The line during the review, accompanied by General McDowell and stall, and wus aiterwards honored with @ marching salute, te troops coming to a “carry” oo passing where tke Prince stood. About three o'clock 4 nehanock arrived at the dock on Governor’s Island and tie party disem- barked, ney were received with ali the houors and welcomed to tke “lone city’? by the Commander ‘Ol the post.

He rade himsel! perfectly at home and dauced with as many ladies a8 he possibly could—ouly one ata time, be it understood—with- out allowing himself to be captared by aay particu. r one. ‘The party enjoyed themselves to their hearts’ con- tent In daficing and promenading until wbout Nal past four o’ciock, When they all adjourned to the boat, aud in a few minutes were again alongside the Cus- tom House wharl, A large Crowd was awaiting tue arrival of the Prince at vie dock. Besides, tne long hue of private carriages wiich almost blockea up the street near the >taten Helaud ferry, had attracted the attention of passers-by, Who Would not other- wise have been aware that his Royal Highness was expected, and the consequence Was that when whe Minnetianock steamed up to the dock the wharf was densely crowded along its fuli Jength.

The Academy of Music Crowded with the Beauty, Chivalry and Wealth of the City. The Most Brilliant Ball of the Season— Lustrous Richness of Toilets and Un- surpassed Display of Diamonds— Prince Arthur Present Enjoy- ing Himself with the Rest. For compactness of brillant gathering; as a repre- sentation of our metropolitan wealth, fashion, ele- gance and refuement; as an exponent of the grace, beauty and intelligence of the bast society of 1 olty; a8 @ Coneentrated and lustrous embodiment of that giving highest dignity to human character and richeat adorument to life and purpose, ‘the sweet luxury of doing good,” the Charity Ball last evening at the Academy of Music greatly surpassed anything preceding 1t. While many other annual balls are occasions of marked interest, there is that about this exceeding them all. A work of benevolence 14 tis basis and alm, whose instinctive impulses atir with their electric flre every flbre of the soul—a benevolence at once the truest, end tenderest, and highest and holiest of ali possible forma of public or private plilanthropy or benevolence— Whose charity lifts the soul “ Jo the Sleennt reattns of the godbead. The history of the ingtitution for whose afd the bali was given is well known. Itgrecord of noble charities runs back decades of years. The frst ladies of the city are its managers—our wealthiest Citizens comprise its directors; hence the brilliantly select gatherings at ita annual bails, Pecuniartly, whieh of course is the primary object of giving these balls, they have always been suc- cessful. The greas Calico Ball, given some years ago, has not been ‘forgotten, and so the bails that preceded, and go those that came after, and so the interregnum, when, on account of an extra Puritanic lady happening to be the presfding directress, and opposed to balls, there was none, and so the last few balls tn the late unin- tersupted series of these now statedly recurring terpaichorean festivities. But of all the balls thus far that of last evening will be the longest remem- bered as the most memorable, Tnere were many things conspiring to make {t 80. No entic- ing opera held out its counter-allaring attrac- tions; no theatrical performance other than auch as everybody has seen presented ita bewitching opposing enticements, No great gun of a lecturer claimed the public ear at any of the public halls. ‘There were no private parties of note to give pre- engagements to ladies and nothing in politics to ab- Soro the attention of the men, The jweather was fine; no rain, or sleet, or snow, or raging wind; but the silent stars gleamed tranquilly in the still night air. Last, Prince Arthur was to be there. And thus everybody came who had tickets or who could procure them. COMING TO THE BALL. At nalf-past eight o'clock the carriages first began to arrive and till two hours later kept increasing in number. Encased tu cashmere queens might envy, in furs fit for Russian princesses and in siiks and vel- vets of the richest and rarest description, the iadies daintily stepped from the carriages, and at once, chaperoned by their escorts, procecded to the recep- tion rooms set apart for their use. The gentiemen did the same, their reception room consisting, how- ever, solely of places for passing in tuose articles of Wardrobe deemed superfiuous in dancing. Those coming to be simply lookers on preceeded, withous the necessity of preliminary ssposition or arrapge- ment of wardrobe, direct to their seats in private boxes or elsewhere, a8 good or worse fortune favored them. Watching the coming carriages and the parties betes! from them furnished prolonged occupa- tion, with doubtiess a sensible mixture of study and phiosophizing, to a Jarge crowd outside, Very mnany were especially anxious to see Prince Arthur, and this no doubt brought so large a crowd there, compelling the police occasionally vo interpose against their infringing too much on the space re- quired for leaving the carriages and entering the building, It must be satd to the credit of this out- side throng, however, that they betaved theinselves very decorously, ad also did the drivers, who, with most commendable propricty, restrained their naturally perverse procilvities to indulge in emphatic English expletives, notwithstanding Occasional provocatively bewildering intermingilug of horses’ heads and carriage wheeis, Taking it ali in all, and considering the fact that nearly every- body came in carriages, they certamly do not manage this thing of getting in & quiet and orderly manner to @ large ball better in France or anywuere else than it was managed here last night. FILLING UP INSIDE. This seemed to be done in an incredibly brief space Of time. Rapidly comes pouring in the in- creasing tide, Or waves rather, for there were crests upon orests, some going into the parquet circle, some in the box tier, some in the mezzanine tler and others still higher up into the family circle, the high- est tier of all. It is @ busy, anitnated spectacle. Tiere are bows of recognition, transitory gossipings, filling the house with the hum of voices, and rustlings of filks and satins, and, above all, gleams of pure, un- alioyed and uaseltish pleasure illumine-every face. THE COUP DELL. How can this be fittingly described. The scene grows grander each moment. Everything lends spirit, beauty and animation to the magnificent spectacle; the food of golden light, poured forth from the tripie rows of gas burners circling ihe mouster chandelier pendant from the ceiling, the splendor Of the jadies’ toilets and the ilasuing bril- luncy of diamouds, whose sclntillations of living, duzzing tight indicate that they must velong to that ciass—u there are any such—that only —— Isnue rays ‘They've treasured from the wun itsel?. There is everywhere beauty, brightness, elegance, We will not attempt to describe it father. It is almply indescribable pleasure, THR DECORATIONS, The interior decorations, special for this occasion, aresimple, At the rear Ol the stage jets of gas tame reveal ie word “Charity.” Beyond tis is a drop scene view, or rather @ view made up trom a combi hation of crop scenes, representing an Uriental Jand- scape with long leaved’ tree of tropical hue in the foreground, a diminutive lake beyond and mock mountatus 40d @ prevurnaturally ceruleau sky in the background—doubtiess the auxiliary to a fine story 1D some drama or opera, and certainly bearing ,no intimate reiationship to the present occasion.

While the comers to the ball are pouring in, while the lively chattings are in progress, while ladies ars, arranging their toilets for dancing, and while gentlemen are putting on their white kids, in pleas- lug anticipation of helping to make up the throng of future dancers, Grafuila's band plays an overture, “Euryanthe,”’ froma Weber. They follow with other equaliy exquisice music and a8 exquisitely played selections from “Guillaume Tell,” of Rossin This music never sounded better or sweeter, OPENING OF THE BALL. ‘There is a lively stir on the stage aud marshalling of forces, It @ little past nine o'clock, and the managers, wide awake to the long prograrame that has been prepared open the ball witu a march, Grafulla’s band playing the grandiy Juspiriting march, “Fort Columbus’ of Wiegard.
