PoliticS IN Louisiana.

The Radical central committee Of Lou.
isiana issued q call for q convention to
convene at the custom house in New
Orleans on the 9th. For some time it
had been evident that the convention
would not be as harmonious as was de.
sired, there being already two factions Of
the party the Warmoth and Dunn; the
former supposed to be opposed to the
re nomination of Grant, and the other
approving of his every act. In anticipa
tion Of the disorder that might ensue,
possibly, but more probably to encourage
the Dunn Grant faction, troops we're or.
dered to be 10 attendance. On the
morning of the convention the troops
wero marched into the custom house,
every entrance closely guarded by United
States deputy marshals, and no one
allowed to eater without . ticket from
Marshal Packard. The Warmoth faction
arrived early, and we're informed that
none were permitted ia enter until the
hour appointed for the convention.
Gov. Warmoth mounted q chair and
said:
"iaving boen refused admittance to
the hall designated by the central com
mittee for holding convention, propose

Johnson on Grant.

Hon. Andrew johnson has q singu-
larly clear and correct idea Of the char.
acter and force of his successor in the
Presidential chair, the Hon. Ulysses s.
Grant. To a correspondent of the New
York Tribune, Mr. johnson said:
Grant is wanting in integrity, wanting
in intelligence, and wanting in the will
to promote the good of the country. The
lit le fellow is selfish and avarcious be-
you'd bounds. His cupidity knows nc
limit. He is no statesman and soldier.
He never displayed any gencralship. He
marched at the head --no; not at the
head, but in the rear-of an immense
column Of men that would heve accom-
plshcd the same results if he had beer
in the moon Grant was mere unim
portant incident. lie never showed {
spark Of genius. What inspiring remark
did he ever make that cheered his SOL
diers and helped to Will victory /? Wher
did he eve, put himself in danger, lik'
Napoleon at the bridge Of Lodi, to giv'
courage to his troops? He never SHOWED
single trait Of generalship. He had nj
sympathy with his men; he never vlsi
ted the hospitals or showed any feeling
for the suffering wounded. He was ut
terly remorseless. He was no leader
He had no plans and no strategy,
repeat that, for any good he did in put
ting down the rebellion, he might az vel
have been In the moon" Mr.. johnson
said be had no doubt that Grant woul'
be renominated. Grant wanted the nomi
nation for the purpose of making NOR
money, and he had the power to compe
the Republicans to give it to him.
