Eds. Crescent Having nothing to do this morning, l
will attempt give you idea Of the movement of men
and things this metropolis of the Unon John RAN
dolph said this City of magnificent distances
Congress doing very little legislation for the benefit of
the people, except the of making capital for the
eal Presidential candidates The different factions OF both
parties trying head their opponents and advance their
own favote Among the wings here there three
ties (Clay Taylor and Scot striving for the nomination at
Philadelphia June The Taylor seemed to be in the
ascendency after Mr. Clay left Baltimore for New
Clay but since the appearance of Mr. Clay card to the
public accepting the nomination OF the Convention in ad
vance, is evident that the contest will be fierce and
warm as was the one the democratic Convention in 1914.
will venture predict that neither Clay Taylor will be
nominated and that Mr. C, has injured his by this
last card-decining to withdraw his name
The democratic party is quite badly divided the
whigs and the prospect that the nomination of candidate
will be made without concessions and the healing
of many breach between the several factions The friends
of Gen Cass are working hard him. and he opposed BY
the friends of Buchanan and Dallas and many say by Mr.
Richie appears be afraid that the wings will Mr. Clay
stances, might succeed to the Presidency This think
will say, is enough of pOlitcs-and SO say l.

ment except the concert OF the Hutchnsons, which under
stand has been fully attended The Theatre appears
have lost most of its attraction since the beautiful and tai
ented Miss Julia Dean left its stage for the Crescent City,
She performed here fifteen nights and turned the heads of
the grave and potent Senator'S well those of the
young men. She the standing toast. and still appears
be-and many look forward with anxiety to her return
which understand will be about the last of May should
judge from the editorial notices in the Crescent" that she
well received in your city. What do the people of New
Orleans really think of her actress?
The weather has assumed the appearance of summer and
the really makes think seriously of changing
habments for those of 1t has been very
and pleasant for the last three four weeks and vegetation
has forth plentifuy and in all its loneliness Our
peach, apricot and apple trees in full bloom and
