The New ORLEANS TRIBUSR.-This
paper, which has been suspended by the
order of the rioters in New Orleans was
started some two or three years since by
some wealthy colored creoles in that
city, and owned principally by DR.. G. l..
Roudanez, a native of New Orleans, who
had received his education at the Uni
versity of Paris, 1t was daily paper
and published in French and English,
and was circulated principally among
the colored people. When Gen. Carl
Shurz was in New Orleans, and in Gen.
eral Canby'S Office, he inquired for 10y
al paper to read and General Candy re-
ferred him to the Tribune, stating that
this was the only loyal paper in the city.
Its comments on the riot have not been
very complimentary to the rebel authori-
ties and they were largely quoted at
the North; hence the arbitrary suspen-
sion of the paper.

DEAF MUTE CELEBRATION. - About
three hundred and fifty graduates of the
Hartford Deaf and Dumb Asylum assem-
bled in that city, on Wednesday, to eel
citrate the 50th anniversary of the insti-
tuition. Prof. LeClerc, one Of its found
ers, was present. Public exercises were
held in Asylum Hill Congregational
church, where addresses were made in
sign language by Thomas Brown of West
Henniker, N. H., who presided, and by
Prof. LeClerc. Amos Smith, of Boston,
delivered an grafton. A collection fol-
lowed these exercises, and in the eve
ming there was social reunion. The
Hartford Press remarks:
"The graduates who are here appear
very bright and intelligent. Most OF
them are supporting themselves, and
many Of them own farms. Quite large
proportion of them are married. They
all seem to find the highest pleasure in
revisitiDg the institution that has done
so much for them"

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-We learn that on
Thursday night last an ARRAY occurred
at a house of ill-fame at "Shingle Hol-
low" about ten miles south of Benning-
ton, which resulted in the death of
young man named VIM. Tracy, of Ben
nington. The circumstances of the case.
as near as we can learn them, are as fol-
lows Tracy went to the house, and
being somewhat under the influence of
liquor, an alteration ensued between
himself and the proprietor of the house,
named Jones, in which Tracy stabbed
Jones and his wife, who took part in the
ARRAY, and though the wounds were not
dangerous, Jones drew a revolver and
fired twice at Tracy, when he fell. He
was Immediately picked up and carried
to Hoosick Falls, where he died ia a
short time. Tracy has heretofore borne
a good character, and the affair caused
much excitement in the locality of it's
transaction. Jones has been arrested.

SATURDAY, AUGUST %, 1866.
Slgni6Cant.

There was significant political oc-
currence at Albany on Tuesday. The
New York Democratic State Committee
and the State Committee appointed by
the delegates 70 the Philadelphia Con-
ventiu' >, held meetings on that day, and
the gu, 'tion wa sho should control the
new conbination The conservative"
or Wee Raymond committee assisted
that twS State conventions should be
called, one to consist Of the Democrats
and the other of the johnson "Republi-
cans" The latter, it was claimed, should
nominate the ticket and the Democrats
should ratify it. Unless this course was
pursued, the conservatives said that
they could not secure corporal's guard
nom the Union ranks in any district of
the States But the Democrats proposed
to manage the matter in their own way
They set aside the conservative plan
without ado, and framed call for
State Convention to be held at Albany
on the 18th day of September next, to
nominate State officers. This call was
sent to the conservative" committee
for their endorsement. The latter OBJ
Jected, and opposed, and insisted upon
two conventions, but all to no avail.
The result was that they had to content
themselves with "uniting in the above
cali OF the Democrats, and thereby
formally surrendering all pretence to a
separate organization. But one conven-
ton was called, and that was called by
the Democratic Committee. The only
satisfaction allowed the PHILADELPHIA
Convention State Committee was the
privilege Of appending to the Democratic
call their approval of it.
This formal and forced surrender to
the Democracy in the leading State of
New York prepares the way for like ac-
ton IN other States. The copperhead
Democracy know that they will furnish
more than nine-tenths of the voters of
the new party" and it is natural that
they should insist upon controlling the
conventions and making the nomina-
tions. They know that the "new party

Of the latter to interfere in the least with

One Of the Democratic State Commit
tee above mentioned, and its chief fugle-
man, is John A. Green. Compared with
this foul-mouthed copperhead, Vallan-
digham, says the Albany Evening Jour-
nal, is saint. Yet the New York de-
serters from the Union party must here
after act under his leadership and direc-
ton. There is no help for it. The only
question presented to Union men every
where is whether they will accept the
leadership OF their old copperhead enc
mics, or fight it OUT in the Union
ranks. Not many will, under such an
alternative, doubt where duty to coun-
try, to freedom, to the memory of the
heroes VINO died in defence of the Union,
