II We beg to call the attention Of
our readers to the most eloquent and
patriotic speech of the Hon. G.. H. PEN

u We saw, on last Saturday, an old
Freedman at least eighty-fve years
old, walking our streets, with two large
Navy revolvers buckled to his waist, a
pepper box revolver in each breaches
pockets, a huge sugar cane knife in his
bosom and loaded walking cane in
his right hand. He was delegate to
the Radical Mongrel Convention.

General Beauregard had, on a recent
occasion, matters Of business which re-
CURED lis presence in Chicago. The
Republican of that holy city thus vel
coined him to town:
We do not envy Beanregard the emo
tons that should possess him in his
Northern travels. We are glad to see
him and his class of chefs of the rebel
lion pilloried before the public in exal-
tation to which no possible exultation
can attach. Men at the Sherman House
yesterday gave him glances that were
simply curious, and in no respect lion
izing. 1t is well to bury the Ratchet at
the close of the war, but the felony
these men committed cannot be buried
or forgotten. This Beauregard was
educated at the expense ofthe Govern
ment he betrayed. He was petted in
to the only prominence he possessed by
the people whose first born he and his
accomplices slew. He was parricide
and fracticide in one. When the STAY
er of father and brother can walk in
the sunlight unsullied, then only can he
and the other votaries of the mad am
bition who led the great revolt. Until
the latest of these passes from earth,
let them be Stunned by honest and
loyal men. They missed the deserved
halter; let the rope become their lash to
whip them naked through the commu-
nifty.
The men who gave these "glances
that were simply curious" were proba-
bly, representatives Of the social indie
cency for which Chicago has an emmi
thence in infamy equal to that recorded
of the cities of the plain. AS the South
paid the largest share Of the public ex'
penses, before the war, it is a gratui-
GUS bit of SANDER to affect that West
Point cadets sent from this section
were no better than charity scholars
Very far from this, the statistics provet
that we paid not only for our own boys
but for two thirds of the Yankee boys
beside, and still continue to pay for cod
fish soldiers falsely Mailing from the un
represented States. As General Beau
regard is a Louisianian, itmay be new

A Newand Grand Epochin Medicine.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder Of a new
Medical System! The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cures the
most virulent sores with box or so Of his
wonderful and all healing Salve. These
two great specifics Of the Doctor are fast
superceding all the stereotyped nostrums OF
the day. Extraordinary cures by Magggiel's
Pills and Salve have opened the eyes Of
the public to the ineficiency of the $50
called) remedies of others, and upon which
people have so long blindly depended
Maggiel's Pills are not Of the class that are
swallowed by the dozen, and Of which eve
ny box full taken creates an. absolute ne
cessity for another. One or two Of Mag
gels Pills suffice to place the bowels in
perfect order, tone the stomach, Great
an appetite and render the spirit light and
buoyant! There is no gripping, and no
reaction in the form of constipation. If
the liver is effected, its functions are re-
stored and if the nervous system is feeble,
it is invigorated. This last quality makes
the medicines very desirable for the wants
of delicate females. Ulcerous and eruptiye
diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power Of Maggiels salye. In
fact, it is here announced that MAGGIEL s
BILIOUS, DYsPEPT1c AND DIARRHEA PILLS

~ The different wings Of the Mon
grel party of our Parish are already on
the rampage, and are marshalling their
dark and sable columns for the fiery
charge Oh the 9th and 26th inst. One
Of these wings met in grand conclave
Saturday last and made the following
nominations for the coming Convention:
G. Y. Kelso, f. m. c., Captain Sypher
and farr. The first named of these is
a native born of the Parish and has al
ways been regarded with favor by our
people, who have always extended res
pect to all well behaved free persons of
color. He has fair education, good
address and manners and claims to be
a Radical. We are at loss, however
to divine why he or any of his class
should tie themselves to such an infa-
nous party. But in these days there
is no accounting for notions. Captain
Sypher, since the surrender, has been
engaged in planting and, we believe,
formerly was a Gunboat Captain in the
Federal service. The third nominee
the less said about the better-and we
are sure that George Kelso will soon
see that he degrades himself to run
on such ticket with such creature,
Every one is surprised at this and the
sooner he cOrrects this fatal error the
better.
we understand the wing ofthe Mar.
tyr meets on Saturday and will Email
their banner to the breeze"
En- PEASANT let it be remembered that
Colonel Cupid Brooks is fairly in the
field as an independent candidate, free
from all entangling alliances, cliques
oigarchies or party dictation. He
stands as the representative of his race
called by them from his retirement tc
serve them in these troublesome times
and has yielded to their wishes anJ
earnest solicitations, and there is moi
q particle Of doubt of his triumphant
election. Hurrah for Brooks! Go il
Brooks! Africa backs you and what's
left of Caucassia.

s@r The special Washington ccrespon-
dent Of the New Orleans Times, generally
very reliable, thus explains q complicated
matter Of some interest:
WAsHrNeroS, August 28.-Gen. Grant
yesterday struggled hard to induce the
President to forego the order relieving
Gen. Sheridan, upon the plea that the
public interest require the retention OF
Gen. Hancock in Missouri.
Mr.. johnson was memorable, and it is
understood persmptorily directed the order
to be issued, which was done accordingly.
Dispatches were sent hence last night
indicating an irreconcilable difficulty be-.
tween the President and Gen. Grant, and
calculated to mislead the public.
The variance in the views Of the Execu-
tive and the General ofthe army relate only
to the details of the orders relieving Gen.
Sheridan and the assignment of Gen. Han
cock to succeed him. ).
Gen. Grant Is understood to be opposed
to relieving Gen. Hancock from command
| of the Department Of Missouri, and objects
Ito directing Gen. Sheridan to go without
delay to Leavenworth.
Gen. Grant also raises the legal question
upon the paragraph Of the Presidents Or
der which directs Gen. Hancock to exer-
else any and all the powers conferred by
the acts Of Congress. This authorization
! is construed as annrlling section 5 Of Gen,
Grants order Of the 18th inst, and the
General regards it as encroaching upon bis
functions as fixed by the reconstruction
acts which give him supervisory control
over the acts of the District Commanders
/ The President holds that the law gives
the District Commander original and abso
lutte discretion, and that, although the Gen
eral of the army may annul or disapprovs
acts Of the District Commander, he cannot
Lin the first instance, direct that officer as K
1.-The course he shall pursue, as Gen. Gram
directed Thomas in section five, above
referred to. In other words, that Gen
Hancock, as the successor Of Gen. Sheri
dan, has no power to revoke any orde'
} heretofore made by the latter, such as tn
! removal Of State officers, but Gen. Gram
may afterward disapprove such action al't
thus annuI it. And further, that the section
Of the army appropriation bill fixing tn
headquarters Of the army at Washington
and preventing Gen. Grants removal Win
out the consent of the Senate, does no
: vest the General Of the armies with an
J power over the orders of the President 0
: Commander-in- Chief, but simply require
that any such order shall pass through tn
. General Of the armies.
Though this variance Of views exists Dc
tween the President and Gen. Grant, ther
r is no irritation Of feeling felt or exhlblte
by either Of them, and Gen. Grant doe
! not, as reported, refuse to issue the ordel
