the Season most cordially to thank
its constantly increasing throng OF
Patrons for the liberal manner III
which they have already recognized
the claims advanced by such an
enterprise to public support.
1t would, at the same time, call
their attention to the fact, that In
its desire to comply more fully
with the demands made by the
Public at the present Holiday Sea
son, the stock of Books and all
Articles Of Vertu, more specially
connected with Literature, has been
very largely increased. Scarcely
single popular or authoritative
work connected with History, Poe
try, Divinity, Biography, Romance,
Philosophy or the Bellies Lettres,
but may be found upon its shelves.
These works are bound in manners
to suit all purses, from the most
plain and unpretending style to the
most costly and handsome one.
More specially, would it ask an
examination of the large and splen-
didlv-bound and illustrated Edl-
tions of the Bible and Book OF
Common Prayer. No similar as
sortment and variety can be found,
in any other place of sale for such
works, by those who wish to make
a Christmas or Ncw.Year's Gift to
anv whom they may really love.
it would also beg the Public
more specially to pay attention TO
the peculiar feature Of the Athe-
nHum.
The periodical distribution Of the
Works of Art it has in its splendid
Gallery-not one Of which but has
passed legitimatcly and honorably
through the furnace OF hard but
honest criticism-will be carried

determine.

rs New Orleans was the scene of q
street encounter on Tuesday night, which
resulted in the death of one negro and
several wounded, 1t appears that a
Radical procession wat passing down
Canal street, with music playing and
banners flying, when some one on the side
walk cheered for Seymour and Blair. A
rush was made for the imprudent individ.
pal, who, to save himself, darted into a
confectionery establishment, followed by
by the negroes who began a general
smash up of everything they could con
~veniently lay their hands upon. The tn.
mutt, by this time, attracted the attention
of the Steedmsn Guards, who were being
addressed 10 front of the ST. Charles Ho-
tel, by Col. Foute, and they rushed at
once to the scene Of action. A fight
then ensusd in which the negroes got the
worst OF it and they fed precipitately.-
The excitement was intense, many sup
posing that the long expected war be
tween the whites and blacks had arrived.
The city papers are filed with descrip,
tions of the scenes that occurred, and
which must have caused the
most intense excitement amongst the
people, No white person was killed, al
though several we're severely wounded
The damage 10 the confectionery was
heavy. the store being almost Quilted and
the splendid plate glass windows smash
ed to pieces. Rioting at any time is a
bad busiBess-maDy persons suffer and
no good results to either side. The good
citizens Of New Orleans should take the
greatest care to prevent these scenes of
disorder by not noticing or paying any
attention TO the Radicals when marching
in professions. Tongues, az a general

them when the public peace is likely 10

saA- a trip to New Orleans for a few
days, deprives our readers of much in
terestiDg reading matter we intended
laying before them. 1t is not often we
stray from home like a sheep from the
fold, but when we do, our patrons should
bear in mind the important fact that a
setting hen never grows fat. Our col
umns, therefore, arc scant of the usual
amount of original and selected matter,
it being impossible for a person TO do
two things at once, although once we
witnessed a man DO seven different
things at the same time. How done
need not bother our friends, because to
them on that point might pro-
duce a lazyuess not at all compatible
with their progressive principles. Some
other time we may dilate thereon.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE CENTRAL
SEYMOUR CLUB.

Al a meeting of the Central Seymour
Club of this parish, the following pream'
BILE and resolutions were unanimously
adopted
Whereas, In order to bring about the
more speedily, feelings of friendship be-
tween the white and black races in this
community, the Democratic party have
determined to invite all black men who
have opened their eyes to the dishonorable
purposes of Radicaiism, and who believe
that the white men are their Cruest and
most useful friends, to form themselves
into clubs,
Whereas, from the wicked spirit in
which the Radical party is conducting
the present political contest, bad and
reckless men of said party may attempt
to do violence to the well-dlsposed II
b~rave-hearte1 black men who may join
themselves together for the purpose OF
assisting the white men in their efforts to
bring about good feelings between the
two races, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Central Seymour
Club Of the parish of West Baton Rouge,
does hereby pledge itself, as a body, to
protect and defend, and to render any
assistance within their power, necessary
to the security and well being Of any club
composed of colored men, formed 10 this
vicinity, for the above named purposes /;
and we most solemnly warn all evil-miud-
ed persons who may seek to modest any
member or members of such club, on
account of their political opinions, that
we will use all lawful means in our power
to have them arrested and punished in
accordance with the law of the land.

The PRosPEcTs OF THE CAxPAIGN.-The
New York correspondent of the Boston
Post, in a late letter, thus writes
The prospects of victory are improv-
ing daily. Advices from the interior,
where all the Republican strength lies,
represent utter apathy among the suppos-
ed supporters of Gen. Grant, and con
s~tantiy increasing enthusiasm in the
ranks Of the Democracy. But as New
York is absolu' ely certain for Seymour
and Blair, it is not worth while to dwell
on the SITUATION here. Pennsylvania and
the large States Of the West en- alleuge
more attention, and it is of these men
speak when discussing the prospects
Pennsylvania and Ohio are confidently
counted for Seymour, though the contest
is likely to be pretty close, and reports
from States further " est give cheering
accounts Of the prospects there. lndi
Wisconsin aud Missouri are reckon.
ed on the Democratic side by comfortable
maiDrities, aud late advices from Illinois
give ground for strong hope that Sey-
mour will carry that State too. New
Jersey is as sound as the dollars We had
in the Democratic times /; Connecticut
dittos; Maryland is safe by thirty or forty
thousand ; and Kentucky will give a
Democratic majority which, if distributed
pro rata among the Radical States ia the
West, would give every M Of them to
the Democracy. California. too, is be-
lieved to be all right and there is some
hope both for Maine and New Hampshire.
So the skies look bright all around, and
the confidence of the Democracy has a
broad and substantial basis.
