nouncing him recreant to every trust, and an
enemy to the republican party.

teeing place in the free schools to every child;
approving limitation of the state department
expenses to twenty-five millions, and calling
upon the governor to preserve peace; declaring
that Governor Yarmouth no longer enjoyed
the confidence of the republican party; instruct
ing delegates to vote for u. S. Grant

publican convention; declaring the New Orleans
Republican no longer the organ of the party,
and asking the administration to Withdraw the

on the central committee, after which the con-
vention adjourned sine die.
Inc troops on duty were procured from Gen.
Reynolds, commanding in Texas, on a reauisi
ton from the United States marshal. The War
mouth convention is now in session at Turner's
hall.
