ON CARONDELET STREET,

There was no disposition manifested
yesterday to indulge in heavy operations
| in gold, which ruled at the usual advance
on New York rates. For unregistered
warrants inquiries were made, not with a
view, as far as could be ascertained, OF
purchase, and these inquiries were neees-
sarily coupled with conjectures about the
result of the political convention, which,
we find out from dealers, has an appre-
ciable effect upon all classes of State
securities and bonds. All the sales of
warrants amounted to jobbing, though the
rates seemed to be rather stiff.
No more than the usual sales in gold
were made, the largest sum being twelve
thousand dollars at twelve, and divers
sums smaller. In foreign exchange there
were evidences of fluctuation and uncer-
tainty, and this unsettled state of things
is by some attributed to the recent decline
in gold, which not being marked, is yet
decline sufficient though within the
fractions, to produce some connection. A
sale of five thousand pounds bank ster-
ling at one hundred and ten about shows
the rate.
The demand still continues for the
lower styles of cotton, which are held at
stiff rates. The higher qualities don't go
off, though the price is not affected.
Cotton circulars are in abundance. Most
every one who deals in cotton is a
prophet concerning the coming crop, for
about the time that the first bale arrives
all eyes are turned toward discovering
how many hundred thousand are to fol-
low it, for upon the correct calculations
OF this character successful speculations
are made. Prices at present oscillate be-
tween seller and buyer, and are favorable
either to one or the other, as future crop
statements and representations are dis
believed or credited. According to Liver
pool advices, the opinions about the.un-
favorable crop are not fully credited, but
are attributed to desire to shove up the
present prices. The truth is, the crop
will be shorter-how much is part of
the same question, not SO easily solved. /
In flour, the demand is all for the higher
grades, which go off fast, and always
seem to be insufficient in supply There
s abundance of the lower qualities,N
which submits to some coquetting on the
'art of<buyers, who seek to fill the local
equest, while among the taller grades the
xport interest seeks to be satisfied
There was slight movement in Pneu-
natic stock, which the knowing ones had
oretold several days. Previously ruling
t four and half to five, within forty
light hours it sold readily at seven dol
hrs, one hundred, eighty and sixty-fve
hares having been sold yesterday at this
rice, and two hundred shares at eight
buyers option. Improving in this way,
was the subject Of good deal of liveli-

ness, considering the dullness that sssit
brooding" upon the street affairs. In
Levee stock just as perceptible decline
was observed, what had been twelve and
twelve and half the day before selling at
eleven and ten and half yesterday, and
various reports were flying about. con-
corning these two themes of speculation,
to which there was little foundation. The
rise in Pneumatic was alluded to by q
cautious old fox as s'a kite" by another
as the result of successful experiment
in compressed air" while various views
and counter-yiews were exchanged by
both parties. But money dealing and
stock buying is essentially business Of
peace, which can not go on in the midst
of connection or excitement; hence, the
sales made were few, though great deal
of thinking was undoubtedly done.
Money is still reported as 'easy,"
showing of good collaterals bringing it
down cheerfully at about eight or ten per
cent No loans have been heard of, how
ever, and though mortgages are drawn
every day, there is not enough of this
done to constitute special notice.
Among dealers in -four. the recent az
rival a thousand barrels from st. Louis
by the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
railway was topic of considerable mo-
ment. This is the first of lot of five
thousand barrels intended to be shipped
by the Iron Mountain, Mobile and Ohio
and Mobile and Texas roads, and arrived
here without ''breaking bulk" This. is
opening a new line of transportation and
swifter, being but five days from point to
point delivered.

WHAT A SCATTER-GuNI

The laboring and all but stranded Besl

Governor Warmoth attempted to, forcf
| his way into the Customhouse without Gre
dentials or ticket of admission. He was
met at the front of the stairs by two officers
OF the convention, who put him out without
any ceremony or hesitation. He then at.
| tempted to address the crowd from the Stems
of the building, but was driven from this
| position by an officer, who would not permit
| him to open his mouth. The boiling Gov
ernor then took to his carriage and inconti-
nently fed, dragging behind him crowd
OF offceholders and paid emissaries. who
could find nothing else to do but take the
place OF the horses, and drag their master
In his carriage through the streets, like so
many braying asses.
Without recurring to the fact that Gov
,ernor Warmoth was in the Customhouse
building for quarter of an hour; that the
convention had not organized, and there
fore could have no officers; and that the
dragging" part Of the scene depicted is
very much mixed, we desire to offset the
above extract with another from the next
column Of the same paper, supposed to
be ''taken on thespot p
Between eleven and twelve O'Clock.
large body of delegates belonging to the
Warmoth party, appeared at the Custom
house, and sought admission into the CON
yention then about to assemble there.
They were denied admission, at least so saw
the friends of the Governor. At this iunc-
ture Governor Warmoth made his appear
ance on the steps and was about to make an
address to the large crowd assembled 1t
Is said that those within made it convenient
to rush to the door, and in the crush his ex-
celleney was literally pushed out. Taking
another position he proceeded with his
speech. detailing the high handed measures
OF the federal ring, and wound up with
adlournlng his friends to the German
Turner'S Hall.
The Governor then entered his carriage
ana was proceeding along Canal street, fol |
lowed by large concourse of people, |
chiefly colored, whose ardor seemed to know |
no bounds. Surrounding the carriage, they |
soon detached the horses, and themselves |
proceeded to drag it through the streets. /
Inside with the Governor were Senator
Pinchback, colored, General Hugh Camn-
DELI, and another Individual, whose name
We could not learn.

Flour Through frem st. Louis in Five
Days.
n One thousand barrels of flour arrived
here yesterday by the New Orleans, Mobile

Texas railroads. This flour was brought at
eighty cents per barrel, clear of insurance.
Steamboats, charge seventy-fve cents, besides
insurance. Five days is short time for the
transportation of -four from St. Louis to
New Orleans.

As all the Democratic papers indorse
the United States Convention at the Gus
tomhouse yesterday, it is presumable that
that is the Republican offshoot with
which the Democrats purpose to side and
tie in the coming canvass. If Tray was
condemned by the company he kept,
what is to prevent the rule that con-
demned him from condemning the
friends of the Democracy as being OF
that faith ?

A GAY DECEIVER.

Ex-Confederate George w. Carter said
in speech yesterday, in the Customhouse
Convention
The REPUBLICAN paper said that he was
elected on the Democratic platform Mr.
Carter said that the Democrats voted for
him because he was a gentleman, and the
Republicans because he was Republican.
1t is matter of dispute which party
was the more deceived

In Hrs ELEMENr.-The great hero of
secession. who boasts that he had been
the main cause of the secession of two
States from the Union, was in his glory
yesterday. He has not, probably, been
so happy since he induced Texas to join
the Confederacy as he was yesterday when
the delegates of the Republican State
Convention were driven from the court
room by orders of one of his dupes.

The Bulletin reports George w. Carter
as saying: ellis motto is principle first,
measures next, and men last" We be-

but it might be gratifying to the people
to learn aohtch principle he is SO willing
to stick to. As political ''loppist' he

alderman to the Presidency, all to pieces.

they owe their elevation from obscurity.

The Bulletin INDUCES in. much self
oongratulation because the "large con-
course OF people" who followed the Gov
ernor from the Customhouse to Turner
Hall ''were chiefly colored, whose ardor
seemed to know no bounds" If this be
comfort, make the most of it.

One Of the Authorizations of the Times
is that return to the rule of the Democ-
racy would be the salvation and glory of
Louisiana. If men prefer to walk when
they can be provided with cheap and
rapid~conveyances; if they desire to live
in the midst Of inertia rather than among
the evidences of life and progress, they
ought not to stay in Louisiana, but
should fix their domicile in some Spanish
American possession, where to improve
is to be suspected of disloyalty to the
government. Under Democratic rule the
State and>city tagnated-under Repub-
lican auspices both are advancing in the
pathway of improvement and wealth.
As we see no stop to this Roadway, it is
manifestly proper that the Times should
remove to some Democratic community
where railroads are tabooed and progress
is derided.

If the Bulletin had accepted the Con-

have been justified in regarding that body

Bulletin goes with the United States Con-

that the party is, justified in suspecting
that organization of being in sympathy
with the Democracy? Men who have
