PAPAL 1NFALLIBlLITT.- Full
da Germany Conference ofBish-
ops have ''resolved never to sub
NIT to the infallibility DOGMA -
which step is endorsed by the fac
ulties Of Tubingen and Wurtem-
berg. 1t appears, therefore, that
the labors of the recent Council
have not been entirely effectual
or satisfactory. Should the Pope,
under these circumstances, be
driven from Rome, His Holiness
will have need for all of his pa
thence and resignation.

REPUBLICAN DISGoRD.

REPUBLICAN DISC0RD.
We regret to see that our Rad
ical friends are not working to-
gether as smoothly as they might.
The spirit of discord broke out in
their State Convention, involving
the Governor and Postmaster
Lowell in a savage personal con-
troversy, and tho same fell in
fuence appears to be extending
throughout the State.
In the first Congressional dis
trict the nomination of Gen. Sy-
pher for Congress seems to have
greatly offended the Republicans
of the Tribune stripe, and the
Tribune comes down on the Conc
raj numerically, Notwithstanding
his nomination.
In the fourth district Gen. Nc
Celery has been brought out and
nominated by one portion of the
Republican party; while another
portion repudiates his nomination
and has called a convention to
meet at Natchitoches to nominate
a candidatemore decidedly colored
in his proclivities.
In this district there can be but
little doubt of a split in the Re-
publican nominating Convention
which meets at Delta next We'd
nesday. There are, it appears, a
number of aspirants figuring for
the nomination, and the causes of
difference are as numerous as the
aspirants, and withal as irrecon-
cilable. Meetings have been
jumped up in some of the parishes,
to the results of which very few
spirited contestants can submit
And yet these meetings, represent
ing no one scarcely, appear prinsa
1szcte regular and fair. Another
discortlant element will be the ba-
sis of representation in the Con-
vention. AS fixed by the highest
and last authority, the Republican
State Central Committee. there
are more delegates allowed for
some of the parishes, Claiborne,
for instance, than they cast Repub-
lican votes in 1868; while others
are allowed less than these par
ishes, though casting two hundred
times their popular vote at the
same election. Claiborne and
these other parishes, however, are
clearly entitled to the representa-
ton allowed by the Committee ;
and yet a candidate selected by
the aid of these parishes could not
possibly be a representative can
didate of the Republican party
IF the Committees basis is adj
hered to, the popular will must be
ignored; if repudiated, the Con-
vention will find that tho parishes
thus deprived of tho vote allowed
them by the Central Committee,
will bolt it's action. There are
other difficulties in the way of the
Convention; but we do not pro-
pose to tell all we know for the
benefit of the Convention,
In fine, the Republicans, We are
sorry to see, are discordant all
over the State. Hardly any two
OF them agree, except in tho ne
cessity of pulling wool over the
poor darkies' eyes. Now, let the
Democrats put in their best men,
and aid them with their heaviest
ticks.
