On ANOTHER TAcK.-The Mrs. Piper whom
we yesterday mentioned as having missed a
$500 bill, changed her mind, and now thinks
she gave that valuable piece of paper to a
grocery man names Kursch for S.. She
charges him with embezzlement and breach
of trust. However, she still accuses Oliver
Holt and William Emerson with stealing a
quantity of clothing from her, which they
acknowledge, as the property was found in
their possession. Kursch will have hear
ing in the above singular charge on the
eighteenth,

CITY MONEY FOR CITY DUEs.-Treasurer
Howell informs the public, contradicting a
silly rumor, that he receives city notes for
all dues to the corporation. The controller
has not yet sent the tax bills to the treas
urer, and those who offered to pay taxes of
course could not be accommodated; hence,
perhaps, the causeless rumor that city cur
rency was refused.

CRIMINAL CoUET Judge Ho,oe. The
lad William Griffin was placed on trial for
the murder OF Isaac Ratcliff in Agiers last
March. The boys were gambling on the
levee, when dispute arose between them
about So. Griffin, three witnesses swear,
forthwith drew a revolver and fired at tn e
deceased. The ball hit Ratcliff in the head,
and he died from the wound in about five
days afterward. The jury retired, and up
one o'clock this morning had failed to ar
rive 1T a verdict. They were then locked in
for the night.

spirits on st. Charles street, was arrested

WHERE WERE THE sEARPs ?--Oficer Nor

alley, near Canal street, so excessively
drunk as to be wholly incapable of taking
care of himself. When the man was search.

his person were found $sl2 in gold, silver,
currency, and foreign exchange, besides
valuable papers. That is the gauge of our
drunken hero.

ROBBED, AND DID NOT Know IT.-Some
few days ago man half drunk entered
my prophetic uncle'sn pawn shop, Is St.
Charles, and quietly stole four watches and
two revolvers from case, and was about
departing before he was detected. Old
Marehand took the property from the auda-
oious fellow, giving him kick and slap
and allowing him to depart but the rascal
still had one gold watch which he had
secreted inside his underclothing and got
away with, and finally gambled it oif, and
the watch afterward once again changing
hands fell into the possession of former
owner. The ticker was handed to special
officers of the second district, who went to
ATarchand, who was still ignorant Of his
loss, but fully identified the tlmepiece,
which was delivered up TO hiA. 4

We should like to know whether General
Hancock feels honOred by the compliment
paid him by the New Orleans rebels. They
seemed to have eheered almost as Justify
for him as they did for Mr.. Davis. They
hurrahed for Davis because he was not
loyal to the United States. Why did they
shout for Hancock ?-Nelo YorIs Tribune.

This issfrom The Washington telegram to
one of eurlexehaRge papers:
The president is in receipt Of dispatches
from General Hancock giving full particu-
lars of the removal Of members of the city
council Of New Orleans. The general says
these parties were removed not for viOlat-
ing any order Of his, but an order Of Gen.
eral Sheridan. He thinks If he had revoked
Sheridan's order it would have been dis
approved at headquarters, and produced q
howl 10 the Radical camp. In selecting
gentlemen to Gil thevacant places, General
Hancock says he selected the best that
could be selected il all the elements Of
capacity, integrity, and influence. Not one
of them is obnoxious 10 any political objec-
ton on the score Of loyalty. General
Hancock claims that his selfrespect COM
pela him to ask to be relieved from his
present command. The president received
at the same time request from q number
Of the leading men of New Orleens beg

TRIAL OF JUSTICE OF THE PEAcE FOR
PERJURY.-Paris ohildress, second justice Of
the peace, was before United States
Commissioner Shannon again yesterday, in
continuation of the case wherein he is
charged with having committed perjury in
taking the test oath. We give the testimony
of one witness:
William F. Mclean testified that he had
known Paris Childress two years and half;
heard him say that he left this city because
he would not ta6e the oath, and left the city
as a registered enemy; this was said after he
had returned to this city; that he would not
take any oath to support the government of
the United States, and that he went away
from New Orleans as registered enemy.
As all the witnesses summoned were not
in attendance the case was continued,

cory, one year, one dollar and fifty cents;
ten copies, one year dollars; twenty copies,
one year, fl iteen dollars; fifty copies, one

of fl fly cents to each subscriber, to be paid
next December in Nursery Stock or Gar

Catalogue of Small Fruits, Seeds, &C., to
be issued about the LIST Of September, 1865.
The Southern Ruralist is now entering
upon its third year, with far brighter pros
poets, than, under the financial depression
of the whole country, could reasonably
have been hoped for. From precarious
circulation of about n thousand copies,
three years ago, its course has been steadily
onward and upward, so that to-day there
is scarcely State or Territory in the
Union where lis monthly visits are not
welcomed with both pleasure and profit.
While its rapidly increasing circulation is
the best possible evidence of its value to
the reading agricultural public its adver-
Using patronage is believed TO equal to
that Of any Southern publication of its
class This popularity and patronage we
shall do all in our power to retain and in
crease, until our success leaves nothing to
be hoped for or desired in Southern Agri-
cultural journalism. Ess> All subscrip-
tons, whether single or in clubs, should be
sent in at once, as tie "hardness of the

THE STATE CONVENTION.

special 10 the Galveston News
AUSTIN, July 90 The first Sec
ton of the Executive Article of the
Constitution was engnssed as it
came from the committee, without
amendment.
Long, colored, offered a resolution
that no one should be eligible to the
office of Governor, unless he had
owned twenty slaves, and been
thirty years in Texas. He must
not be of African or Dutch descent.
Rejected.
There is some little talk ola re-
cess ofthe Convention until October,
as Congress, they say, will pass the
enabling bill as soon as it convenes.
The Executive Article to the>six
tecnth section has been engrossed.
AUSTIN, July 30.-Ten Thousand
dollars have been appropriated to
ransom children which have been
carried off by tho Indians.
The committee on the Legislative
Department reported this morning
its disfranchisement clause. 1t will

favor ofall white men voting and
against enfranchising the negro.
Webstes Flanagan agreed with him
az to enfranchising all white men,
but agreed with the majority in
favor of negro suffrage. The report
was order to be printed.
The Executive Article is not'yet
finished. There was considerable
debate on the age which shall be
required for holding office. The
carpet baTgers fought against thirty
years ofage and three years in the
State, all through the article; but
tsey were beaten every time.
The radicals were elated over the
appointment Of Gen. Reynolds to
the command &C this district. lie

would comply strictly with law.
The radicals are somewhat disap-

opinion Of all such as vsinly u mpted 10
overthrow and trample that same govern
ment under foot; but we do think that
the persistent utterance Of such rebellious
sentiments is Incompatible with personal
dignity while their author is daily enjoy
ing the protection and blessings of that
same government, and has lately aspired
even to holding an important Office under
the new constitution.
But however nauseating," however
" absurd however debasing," however
odious" the term loyalty, as all really
loyal men and good citizens understand it,
may be to the chivalry, or rather to the
few unrepentant rebels who yet strive
to mislead the mass of Southern people,
the doctrine of loyalty to the Union must
be accepted. from that there is no
escape. The people both North and
South have made up their minds to it.
Citizens may diIe! and justly differ in their
views of public policy, bat loyalty, true
allegiance to the Constitution as the Con-
stitution is interpreted by the majority of
the people is Just the one thing that can
not be dispensed With. Opposition to the
prevalence and rule of Union sentiments
throughout the South is all in vain, is
labor wasted,
Gentlemen, you may as well make up
your minds to that at once. Your efforts
to Withstand the rising and irresistible tide
Of Republicauism, which is only another
name for Inionism, that is destined to
sweep over the whole country next Novem-
Der will prove even more futile than your
attempt to destroy the Union by the sword
More than that, the weapons you SO per-
sistently use-nOt arguments but hard

contempt the lofty performances Of these

ABROAD.

We receive by every mail notices of the
most complimentary character, both in our
exchanges and private letters, in regard to
the REPUBLICAN,. Our paper has a very wide
circulation, extending over the greater part
Of Louisiana, Mississippi Arkansas, and
Texas. We by no means oyerrate its iuhu-
ence for good when we say that it has never
had an equal in the South. Whatever is
calculated to promote the true interests Of
the people Of the South, and insure to every
human being his rights, and the protection
Of the law, shall always, as heretofore, find
n the REPUBLICAN an unfinching advocate.
And we mean to take care that so far as our
efforts can effect that end, the laws OF the
state shall be framed for the whole people
knowing that what good for all can not be
oppressive to any. Thepeople of Louisiana
fully understand that the REPUBLICAN is
their especial organ, and recognize the fact
oy a support equal to their means. This is
al we ask.

Il Is very important that all Of tbe Re
publican mcmhers Of the Legislature
should be il this city three or four days
before It's orgaalzation, Evidently they
should know each other, should meet sew
eraI times in caucus, and should arrange
their plans and agree upOh their caudi-
dates before going into 90 election for
officers. There are also many other mat
ters which deeply concern the interests Of
.he Legislature aEd Of TIE State which
should be malussIy considered and de-
elded By the Republican members
before the Legislature meets. We are
sellahly iniormed that the Democratic
