1t is conceded on all hands that Buffers

ture.
Convention adjourned to five o'clock.
Ten o'clock p. M.-Butler is defeated IN
. test VOTE Buffers delegates from the
sixth ward were excluded BY . vote of COZ
to 46O. The vote was announced amid tre-
mendOus excitement, and received with
long and continued cheering. Such a scene
was never witnessed in q State convention.
The result is considered a. effectaally dis
posing of Butler.
Eleven O'Clock ?. Nippon the vote being
announced, which required an hour, Butler
charged that over one hundred delegates
were absent, from lack of tickets Of adj.
mission to the hall, and moved that the
chairman of the convention be instructed To
investigate the matter.
Buffers motion was declared out of
order, and after admitting the anti -Butler
delegates, the remainder Of the report of
the committee was adopted. This action
adds twenty delegates to the amt. .Butler

THE LOUISIANA LEvER COMPANY

We copy below very significant article
from the Bee, upon a subject of vital inter.
est to the people Of this city and State. We
can assure the company and all concerned
that the Governor is determined that, 30 far
as it is in his power to do 60, the levee com.
pany will be required to faithfully fulfill
the obligations they have undertaken. This
is not a work that will admit of delay or
half measures:

or the officers of the company charged with
the maintenance and construction of the
levees, as to their intention with regard 20
repairing these works. This delegation first
called upon Mr.. John Ray, president of the
levee company, who stated that 1.-The delay
in commencing operations had been caused
by the non-arrival of the engineer appointed
by the company, and that his arrival would
be the signal to commence operations imme-
diately; that the presence Of this engineer
was necessary to constitute quorum of the
comnnssi0n required by the charter of the
company, and when this commission waa
complete, they would proceed to locate the

The State Reformers.

The Homer Had Nv. Jasper Blackburn.
editor, who was elected at Homer as one of
the delegates to the State Reform Conven-
tion), says of the new reform movement:
As to Estate reform" we claim to be de-
cidedly in favor Of it, az every good citizen
should be; but let us 60 at it in calm. SEN
sible and judicious way: and before we de-
nounce existing laws as odious and fit ob-
jects of repeal, let US be sure that the
shameful causes which brought them into
existence have passed away. Before the
election law be repealed, let it be known
and understood that the ballot box is not
to be controlled by mobs and organized
bands Of assassins; and before the printing
bill is repealed, let us be certain that q
man is not to be starved out in his business
Of publisher simply because he is the friend
and defender of his whole country. Let us
s'think of these things" as we 20 along, and
be certain that we are just before becoming
too generous. And in the meantime, We
warn our party against this refrain Of re-
trenchment and reform and reduction of
taxation, unless the style and temper be
changed somewhat. We fear it Is but
wolf in sleeps clothing. But We trust
not.

Academy Of 1fusic.

Naturally there was a slight diminution
in the attendance at the Academy last
night, for the reason that early in the sea-
son theatre-goers prefer light and tlashy
entertainment, where each one of the audi
ence can appreciate little joke from the
stage. But Miss Eldridge, as alma, is Ger
tainly winning public favor, while those
who support her in the drama do it infinite.
ly better than the opening night when they
were wearied out with tedious journey.
This evening Boucicault's last great sensa.
ton, Ellie; or, the Cherry Tree Inn," will
be presented for the first time and will hold
the boards every evening during the week.
Tomorrow evening, benefit of Miss Lille
Eldridge. Saturday noon, first grand
matinee. Monday evening, that excellent
character actor, Mr.. Dominick Murray, will
make his first appearance this season.

Political Prospects In Tsxas,

While we have all along been of the
opinion that the Republicans could elect
every Congressman except one in Texas, it
was matter Of surprise to read the sub

his opinion that the Democracy, ct tho elec-
