We find this justly complimentary allusion
to the new Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Of Louisiana in the Galveston Rsp,tJ.
liodu:
The Hon. H. c. Warmoth, the Governor
elect of Louisiana, is a young man, barely
thirty years of age, of commanding ability
and ane personal appearance. As an hon
ored and brave soldier of the Union army
Judge Warmoth viii bring to his admins
tration the same powers of executive ability
and persistence OF purpose that distinguish
ed him heretofore in the field and forum.
Louisiana is especially fortunate IN the
present condition of her regenerated exist
ence in having such man at the helm Of
The Hon. o. ]. Dunn, Lieutenant Gov
| ernor elect of Louisiana, is q gentleman of
/ excellent practical sense and marked
/ ability. He is, we believe, esteemed and
honored by all parties in his State; and one
of the pleasantest demonstrations of respect
that we remember to have ever observed
is, that during the late exciting campaign.
when party spirit ran high and the 0pposi
tion papers teemed with personal abuse Of
the Republican nominees, not one word
was uttered or written rejecting on the
ability, ftness. OF probity of Mr. Dunn
Surely SO high a mark of regard for any
mSn is Indicative of the great personal
esteem in which he is held.

ConvictIon OF John.on.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Republican wrote on the SOth ult,
The kilograms sent out to the Democratic
press, boasting thar verdict of acquittal is
certain, have induced careful scrutiny
into the grounds for such belief. The result
has been the conviction that such state
meHts are simply put in circulation as
kind of desperate resort to help manufac-
tufe public opinion. There are fewer
doubts about the result prevailing tonight
than at any previous time.
The correspondent of the St. Louis Re.
publican, Democratic paper said on the
same day:
The intimate friends Of the President have
expressed themselves as very confident to-
day of his acquittal, but the outside feeling
among those of both parties does not incline
to any such conclusion, but on the contrary
looks for conviction. Leading Radicals
boasted to-day that there were but two
doubtful Republican Senators. On the FIRST
article they claim twenty-one votes for con
| viction.

AMr. Ernest Comeaux, of lberyiile, claims
to have invented machine for bul ding
levees that will save three-fourths of the
cost hitherto expended upon them. 1t is
not complicated, is easily worked, and
should it accomplish half that is claimed
for it by the inventor will be really useful
machine. He obtained a patent for it last
year. That levees will ere long be built BY
steam must be evident to every intelligent
pnrsou

The Planters Banner, edited by that
Democratic carpct-bagger who came from
the State of Maine 50 many years ago that
he has forgotten its locality aud the prin.
ciples of its people, says;
The devil first invented snakes heas, scor-
pions, tarutulas, centipedes, mosquitoes,
gnats, hyenas, owls, buzEards hawks, vul-
lures, alligators, shayarees, garG, sharks,
Chigers and vampires and to concentrate
all the meanness and deviltry in creation,
he put these in cauldron aud boiled them
down and produced carpet.bagger, as the
grand masterpiece Of Satanic hate. And
Satan smiled when his eye first rested on
his last born and tavorite bantling.
The Banner editor omits TO state that this
last invention of Satan was Democratic
carpet .bagger, such as are the conductors
Of some of the city papers and many Of the
editors Of country papers that abuse new

Through his warm heart; and then, fCor

A shadow; and his native slope,

Floats from his sick and filmed eyes,
