SCRIBNER's MONTHLY ILLUSTRATED MAGA-
zINE.-This really valuable contribution to
the literature of the day. has just been laid
upon our table. Under the editorshp of
such talented man as DR.. j. G.. Holland,
author of Bitter Sweet Katrina etc.
we expected much from it, and after
glancing through its pages we feel that we
have not been too sanguine, for from the
title page to the end, it is full of good
thinss-in fact Il literary feast; while the
illustrations are all dOnoin the highest style
of art. Jeremy Train-His Drive" is
rich, both in the humor of the verse and
sketches. The article entitled THE Bottom
OF the Sea- is particularly interesting and
instructive, both to the student and general
reader. But our space will not allow us
to follow our wishes and give an extended
resume OF the contents of this really valu-
able magazine: suffice it to say that in our
opinion it ranks with the best yet published
on either continent, and it should be on
every table. 1t is to be found at all the
booksellers and newsdealers in the city.

BY TELEG GRAPH
Especial Dispatch to the Republican,
FROM SHREVE ORT
A Discussion Between Two Notables
GENERAL M'CLEERY AND MIKE RYAN
Success of the Republican Ticket Assured
SUREyEPoRr. October %. 1870.

SHREVEPORT, October %, 1870.
A great political discussion took place
here last night between General McCleery,
Republican candidate for Congress in the
Fourth District, and his competitor, Michael
Ryan.
The discussion was long and ably con-
tested on both sides, General McCleery, in
particular, speaking with great spirit and
power. His defense OF Governor Warmoth
was pronounced, by his hearers, to be a
mastery effort.
An immense crowd of people of both
races was present. When Mr.. Ryan arose
to address this mixed jury Of legal voters he
was more respectful in his bearing than he
was when he broke up the Ninth Judicial
District Court, because colored men were
impanneled on the grand jury. He was,
nevertheless, very impressive in his speech,
and was listened to with the same attention
and respect that had been accorded his
more accomplished antagonist. The utmost
harmony and good order prevailed.
Since Hon. C. c. Antoine has withdrawn
from the contest in favor of General Mo
Cleery, the Republicans of Caddo are con-
fdent of success. You may rely on seeing
the Republican delegation, headed by
George L. Smith, elected to the House of
