THE MITRALLEUSE CONVENTION.
Condemnation by the Press.
From the Vidaiia HeraId

From the Vidala Herald
1t is with no small amount of qualification
that we chronicle the fact that the Repub-
ican press throughout the entire country
unanimously cry out against the recent out
rage on the Republican party of Louisiana,
committed by the Customhouse clique at
New Orleans.
Everywhere severe condemnation is ex-
pressed, and that too, in no measured
terms; for the provocation, we must remem-
Der, is one which of itself calls forth the in
dignation of all honest free citizens, and
which has no precedent in the, history of
our country.
Against the solid array of Republican
editors who freely and unreservedly con-
denim this hagrant action of still more
hagrant clique, we see opposed the Citizens
Guard alone, and this pitiful sheet is the
protege of the very clique itso unblushingly
upholds.
Imagine Carter, Dunn & Co., if you
please, attempting to shield themselves
from the just scOrn and Indignation of the
Republicans of this State and the whole
country with this paltry Citisens' Guard.
Why, it is not as effectual as was the mill
tary guard provided by Marshal Packard,
and every one knows how that guard, in
stead of shielding this clique, but served to
put away the mask and show to the people
the hideous deformlty the clique endeavored
to conceal from the gaze of honest men.
From the Empire Parish Register.l
The following telegram from Washington
settles the question of the Presidents ap-
proval Of the high-handed action of Casey,
Lowell and Packard at the Customhouse on
on the ninth instant:
"WAsHINGTON, August 16.-A long edi-
torial in the New York Tribune, deprecatory
of the split in the Republican party in Lou
iSiana, has this sentence: But we reiOica
to hear that the President promptly repu-
dates the doings of his New Orleans subor-
dinates, and, as now reported, proposes to
show his appreciation of their misconduct
in Office by turning them OUT This article
is captioned The New Orleans Outrage"
Yes, turn them out every one of them.
Men who are capable of prostituting the
functions of their stations as federal officials
in the mannerit was done by Casey, Lowell,
Packard, Herwig, and others, are unworthy
the recognition of their government and
deserve the condemnation of all good citi-
zens. Men who will attempt to pack local,
political convention, in a United States
building, under military surveillance, for
purposes of personal and selfish aggrandize-
ment, are unworthy of the confidence of the
public. Such men are lost to all sense of
official and political integrity. 1t is such
men as these who pervert the aims of repub-
ican institutions, and all for selfish pur-
poses. Let them be turned out of office,
and thus take from their chief advantage
for mischief

The Agricultural Report.

The forthcoming report from the Agricul-
tural Department will be largely devoted
to statistics of the cotton crops and other
Southern staples. According to advices
just received the entire cotton region has
been afflicted with unprecedented drouth,
which in some instances will seriously i'm
pair the yield. The breadth planted this
year, as compared with last, shows falling
off of at leas twenty-five per cent; while
the yield will scarcely exceed fifty per cent
cotton districts the army worm has ap-
peared in larger numbers than ever before,
and the boil worm is also reported in sew
eral sections of the South.
Accounts from the Louisiana sugar dis
tricts are more encouraging, and the yield
in some instances is placed as high as
25O,0O0 hogsheads. Virginia and MARYLAND
will fall largely behind in both the tobacco
and corn crops, these being cut short by
drouths both early and late in the season.

Mr.. Bovee, whose passion had gained the up

Colonel Badger, superintendent of police.
An officer arrested Mr.. Bovee, and took him
to prison, where he was detained few min
utes. Colonel Badger soon afterward re-
leased the belligerent, as no one intends
prosecuting him for his extraordinary as
sault and battery. Mr.. Bovee left the Gala
boose willingly, perhaps remembering the
time when he took prisoners to the lookup,
when he was patrolman on the police
force. He found how the old thing works.
