The Opposition i'm Conclave-A Stormy
Caucus.

Yesterday the Customhouse building was
filed with promiscuous crowd of persons
from the country parishes, as well as a
goodly number from The city, calling them
selves delegates to the State Convention,
which is to assemble in the Customhouse
to-day, for the avowed purpose of electing
State Central Committee.
Early in the morning the corridors lead
ing to the United States courtroom and
the Marshals Office were filed with at
tendants of all shades of color, discussing
in subdued tones and various languages
some mysterious subject, to this reporter
unknown, and which the benighted world
must, therefore, forever remain in ignor-
ance of.
About high noon one Mr.. Ingraham was
observed to make straight under garment
from the United States Marshall's
Office in the direction of the room
occupied by the federal courts.
In obedience to some eabalistie sign, OBJ
served only by the initiated, the crowd fol-
lowed, while Mr.. Ingraham bore in his
hand a mysterious little memorandum book,
from which he commenced reading the
names of delegates. As fast as the names
were called out, the individuals indicated
passed through the door of the court room
into an adjoining chamber, occupied by the
General Assignee in Bankruptcy, Colonel
E. E. Norton. 1t is proper to say that Colo
mel Norton was not corporealy present then
and there.
After the delegates had entered. to the
number of forty or fifty, the record of what
was done inside became sealed book to
the benighted world outside. Certain in
distinct sounds from the keyhole showed
that the menagerie inside was stirred up,
and it was only now and then that a fierce
growl, louder and more prolonged, showed
that the master of the ring was in some
manner lashing the hides OF the more OBJ
streperous animals.
Among the delegates we noticed Judge
Henry Train, of New Iberia. The names
of George W.. Carter, of Cameron parish,
and Oscar j. Dunn were called, but neither
of them was made visible to this reporter
All that is positively known is, that there
was caucus of the "opposition;" but what
they did or what they said, may perhaps
forever remain mystery, or when all is
known, we may truthfully write, Partu'ient
monies, ,,ascitur Ridiculous Dsus-for a
ridiculous muss it probably was.

Bartholomew,s system of Drawing.

Mr.. Barnard, United States Commissioner
of Education, in a report on scientific and
industrial education, made in 1869, says :
'The Government of the United States is
the only civilized government of the world
that has done practically nothing for the
encouragement of art, either in its elemen-
tary or higher forms. The State and NUM-
cipal governments have done, if possible,
less"
All the progress that has been made, there
fore, in the arts is the result of private
energy. And while no marked advancement
is perceptible now, yet we may hope for bet
ter things in the future. We have before
us Bartholomew system of drawing, con-
sisting of a rubber cushioned slate and six
drawing books, with lessons by way Of
example, graded from the simplest form up
to style bordering upon artistic drawing.
For young people, who have natural pro-
pensity for using the pencil, this system will
be found useful. Our neighbor, j. A.
Gresham, has the systems for sale.
