THE Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald telegraphs that paper
on Monday night that Colonel Dent the
brother~in-law Of General Grant, states
that Grant has written letter TO the
President of the Chicago Convention de
clining to accept a nomination from that
body. A rumor to this effect seems to
have been floating about in Washington
on Sunday The correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing on that
day, says:
"A rumor gained general circulation here
to-day, and created much excitement, TO
the effect that Grant had written a letter
to be used at the Chicago Convention, de-
clinng 10 become a candidate for The Presi-
dency, giving rs a reason that the country
was not yet prepared for negro Suffrage
assuming that the Chicago platform would
contain an article recommending impartial
suffrage"
The Commercials correspondent pro-
nounces this report false in every par
ticular" This mater will be settled def,
nitely very soon

EFFECTS OF EVIL EXAMPLE.

Butler says Bingham Is a murderer
Bingham says Butler is a coward and a
thief Donnelly says Washburne is a
scoundrel and fool Washburne says
Donnelly is a criminal and liar. Now
see the effect of this evil example 1t is
demoralizing the negroes, who are a PEI
culiarly initiative class. In the Radical
State Convention in Virginia, the leading
men were Underwood, Hawxhurst, Hun
nicutt and Bayne, and thus they talked ::
Hawxhurst declared, in open debate,
that Underwood had attempted to buy the
Radicals 10 vote for Chase for 100000.
Underwood, in open debate, said that the
venerable HaExhurst lied, was a candidate
of Arlington paupers, and was a common
bloodsucker on the treasury. Platte, a
fussy commissary from Vermont, declared,
in open debate, that Bayne was an infam-
Gus scoundrel."
These are the men who control and
direct the Radical party, and have clam,
ored loudest for the conviction and depo.

The weather during the past week has
been very warm for the season, with occa-
sional light showers. Spring has now be-
come well advanced, and gardens, public
squares, and fields are clothed with green
and studded with opening blossoms.
Business continues to manifest a fair de-
gree Of activity as compared with the
opening weeks of the season. But there is
not sufficient basis fer transactions to up
hold even the present animation in the
market.
The adjournment Of the convention, the
publication Of General Han cocks order
for an election on the seventeenth and
eighteenth of April, and his implied
promise to order an election for the vari-
Gus offices created by the new constitution,
have given considerable animation to polit
ical circles. The amended reconstruc-
ton bill also became a law by the
expiration Of the ten days allowed for the
presidents consideration. We have before
us, therefore, an important contest, in
which every man in the state who has the
right to vote ought to participate. Not
emily is the duty to vote a clear one, but
in casting the ballot, every voter should
bearin mind that he is deciding q question
that will affect the interests Of the state as
well as his own for many years. The con
test for or against the ratification Of the
constitution will be a fair trial Of strength
between the two parties. The Republicans
will nothave to struggle against the heavy
odds that their friends in Alabama encoun-
tered. Democrats can not vote against the
constitution in Louisiana by staying at
home, and we believe il will be impossible
for them to force any considerable number
Of cOlored men to keep away
from the polls. We consider the
adoption Of the constitution therefore
an event which Is sure to take place. We
know Of nothing that Is at all likely to
occur to prevent it, The success Of the
various Republican candidates viii depend

Most Of the nominations for the parish Of

DEMOCRATIC POLICY.

The ex-rebel, ex-Democratic, disfran-
chised state convention which lately met in
this city exhibited remarkable degree of
so-called political shrewdness. But the
leaders slightly overdid their work. They
were so anxious to deceive the loyal voters
as to their future action, that even the rank
and file, the small guns of the convention,
were deceived, and went to their homes
believing that principle" and not policy
would prevail, and that the " Democracy y
so-called would run no state ticket at the
coming election How this small fry"
will feel when they learn that they also
were humbugged, and that the "spOils are
not for such as they, we leave for the dis
franchised to imagine.
Yes, the "leaders" Overdid their work !;
for to humbug the score or two of pro-
fessed supporters of Judge Taliaferro re-
quired no such extreme caution.
Always excepting ]. NJ. Wells, r. B.
Stille, and DR.. Daily, and the whole dis
franchised convention might have safely
known the secret We will tell it now for
the especial benefit Of ]. NJ Taliaferro, F.
E. Dumas, Charley Smith, Brother Crane,
aRd the remainder and it is that if they
expect the Copperheads or Democrats to
vote for them they are bigger fools than
ever voted the "reglar Dimocratic
ticket.H They have simply been hum
plugged, as the disfranchised intended
to humbug them. The plan agreed
upon and to be carried out by the
leaders of the Rebel convention is
to encourage the split in the Radical
party" "to get them to quarreling like
eats and dogs" and "at the proper time
to make full nominations from governor to
constable, and elect their candidates
through these divisions"
Very fortunately, however, for the loyal
people Of Louisiana, these leaders among
the opponents Of reconstruction have reck-
oned without their host. There is no split,
and there will be no split in the ranks Of
the Radical Republican party Of this state.
All the sympathy, bOlstering. and money of
copperheads and rebels can not lift the
Taliaferro ticket into the dignity of
faction.
The corporaPs guard which hangs to it
in this city for the very little plunder that
they yet will desert from it long before the
election, and it will die of inanition, as such
excrescences always die.

stitute national paper for it. There
are many plans already proposed, most Of
which are not worth second thought. In
fact, the only sure and speedy way to put
an end to the difficulty is to adopt the pay
as-you-gO principle aud rigidly enforce it
Delinquent taxes must be collected for it
is very evident that the city is without
credit among capitalists. Nothing can re-
store this credit but an assertion OF her
rights. Money can not be borrowed at any
rates short of ruinOus, and the proposal
to fund the outstanding circulation in
eight per cent bonds has been met with
decline to about thirty-ive per cent dis
count, with no disposition to buy at that
price. Manifestly but little relief is prom
ised from that measure.

In continuing the examination Of the
new constitution as regards its points of
difference from the present one, the next
important feature which commands attsn-
ton is the change in the executive depart
ment removing the restriction in respect to
age, and requiring for eligibility but two
years. residence instead Of five. This will
Of course meet with violent opposition
from old citizens old politicians, and
old fogies in general. Men do not like to
be deprived Of their exclusive privileges,
and the less their Individual merit the
more they cling to adventurous distinc-
tons such Is age or length Of residence.
And Jet what merit Is there practically in
being thiry-ave years Of age, or what ad-
vantage in choosing a man Of that age to q

SECOND ooNaRE sSIoSAI DISTRICT.

Mr.. S. Straight is running as stump
candidate in this district. Fearing that
one horse may not carry him to Washing
ton he seems to be riding two horses but
the reach from over Canal street to over
Exchange alley is SO far that both heels
must fly up, and he fall down into the
offensive slough of an ignominious pOliti.
cal defeat. For some days the rebel
papers of this city have contained letters
and editorials asking Mr.. s. Straight to
run for congress, and urging " the citizens"
to vote for him meaning of course the cz-
rebel, ex-copperhead, Democratic white
citizens for none others would be ap-
pealed to through the columns of these
papers.
At the same time the Exchange alley
organ is quite sycophantie in its common
datiOn. and Endorsement of Mr.. S. Straight,
and very earnest in urging our colored cit
liens to vote for him. viii Elk. Governor
Wells be so kind as to inform US whether
Exchange alley or Camp street is being
sold ? or whether the similar articles are
really dictated by the same political head,
and written by the same hand? And in
return for the anticipated favOr we inform
him that not one cOlored voter of the
second district will be deceived into voting
for any man who expects or seeks an cleo
ton through the influence or votes Of the
enemies of reconstruction. Any man who
is supported or Endorsed by the rebels of
this city, whatever may be his private char
acter or antecedents, is very foolish if at
this crisis he expects the votes of colored
citizens.

TIE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
The rebels have been circulating re-
port that the able gentleman and staunch
patriot who is the nominee of the Radical
Republican party for congress in this dis
triet failed year or two since 20 pay the
laborers on his plantation. Fortunately
we happen to know that the report is
wholly untrue, and are happy to brand its
originatOrs and circulatOrs as base SANDER
ers. Men who circulate such faIsehOods
are working in the interest Of the rebels,
and not Of the Radical Republican party.
General J. H. Sypher, the Radical Repub-
lican nominee for congress in this district,
is one Of the most reliable and ener-
getic members Of our party. He was born
and reared in the political school Of Thad-
deus Stevens. He was born an abolition
ist, was q soldier Of freedom during the
war, and Is now fighting for the new CON
stitution and the equality Of all men before
the Law; and what Is better still, he will be
elected IN spite Of rebel lies, ana will
faid.fslly represent bis constituents In
CONGRESS.
