THE LATEST AND BEST.

For ways that are queer and
tricks that are novel, the Dummies
and Caseyites beat All Sin hollow.
One of the queerest political lodges
we ever heard of, they are entitled
to the paternity Of. Itappears that
for several weeks past messengers
have been dispatched to various
parishes along the riverto announce
to the people that on given day
Governor Warmoth, Gen. Sheridan
and other prominent Republicans
would address their friends. When
the appointed time arrived. only
Gov. Dunn or some other opponent
of the State Administration would
be on hand. Thus, through the
very popularity of Gov. Warmoth,
crowds were got together to listen
generally with supreme disgust
to TRADES against their chosen
leaders, and apologies for the Gus
tomhouse Convention. This is
stealing an enemy's thunder with a
vengeance. We have the authority
Of State Senator for stating that
this game was played in at least
three parishes.

RECKLESS CHARGES.

The Patriot, referring to the
Governors visit to the Customhouse
a week ago, ssys: "He has tried the
bluff game and lost, and is now re-
sorting to soft solder, bribery and
corruption" This is in keeping
with the usual recklessness of this
paper in charging unworthy acts
and motives to Republican officials.
Although we differ from Messrs.
Packard and Casey, in regard to
various party matters, and deplore
the course they have pursued as
calculated to greatly endanger Re-
publican success next year, We still
regard them as men of integrity and
honor. We no more believe that
bribery would induce them to alter
their plans than that Governor
Warmoth would resort to such in
fuence to secure their return to the
Republican fold. We do not think
any of these parties are SO familiar
with bribery and corruption as
the editor of the Patriot appears
to be.

LECTURE AT ST. JAMES
CHAPEL.

According to brief announcement,
Major J. Morris Chester, delivered
a lecture on Thursday evening last,
in the A. Nj. E. Church on Roman
street, between Customhouse and
Bienville streets.
The church was we'll filed with a
large, respectable and appreciative
audience. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Lieutenant Governor
Dunn, while quite number of
gentlemen were selected as Vice
Presidents.
Rev. c. H. Thompson of Straight
University, opened the proceedings
with prayer, after which the lecturer
was introduced by the President.
MIR. Chester then rose and for an
hour and quarter kept up the W.
tagging interest of his hearers in
his theme: "These are they that
came out of a great tribulat;on."
We do not propose even a syn
opsis of the discourse, replete as il
was with profound and accurate
knowledge, argued with a close and
logical precision, clothed in language
appropriate and forcible.
The preoccupation of our columns
to-day precludes US from even in
dicating the chief lines of thought
so ably pursued by the lecturer.

THEIR GAME.

A leading and very virulent Dem,
ocrat openly boosted on Canal Street
day or two ago, that when an cleo
ton for a successor to the late Sen
ator Fish is ordered he will be q
candidate, and whether elected OF
not, will obtain the seat. He de-
clared that no matter how few OF
many votes were cast for him, he
should contest the other claimant,
and that the Dunn men would have
to Join the Democrats in voting him
in, as q part of their general i'm
parchment plan. Things have in
deed come to desperate pass when
the bitterest foes of Republicanism
dare thus openly boast of their ALI
ance with the malcontents. Will
not our Republican friends make a
ote of this?

marThe Cittzea's Guard of Thurs
day paid its customary call to our
sanctum, and as our eyes lighted on
the "Charter of the National Repub-
lican Printing Company" CLEAN of
delight might have been seen to
sparkle in our eyes and pervade
our countenance. Hurliedly We
ran over the provisions, and
nearly exploded when our eyes fell
on the words, "the several parties
whose names are hereunto annex
ed" Immediately we annihilated
all the space between and ran our
ewes down the column-but woful
disappointment-not one of them
was there. A pail fell over us, and
YEARLY our eyes went slowly up the
page, Indifferent now whether We
read backwards or forwards. We
did discover, however, that this i'm
palpable company have selected elev-
en- we'll known gentlemen-of their
number, we presume-as the first
board of directors. We console
ourselves with the melancholy re-
Election that most of the great
things have been accomplished by
little and little.

@ With reference to the re-
mark made by Senator Pinchback,
in his letter Of September LIST, to
the New York Herald, that appeals
had been made by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dunn, to "black men," to
withdraw their support to any other
kind OF men for the recent Conven-
ton, the "Homer Ihad," of Septem-
Der Odd, says:
"Senator Pinchback states in a
letter which we publish to-day that
Gov. Warmoth has in his possession
letters of Lieut.. Gov. Dunn, written
to colored men, "urging them to
elect none but black men," We
are sorry to hear this. We thought
Gov. Dunn had more heart, more
sense, more discretion. No true
friend of either race will try to az
ray them against each other"

4 CORNER" IN GALVESTON.

The Galveston quarantine is what
the b'hoys call ga put up job" and
the sportive Galvestoniens who are
in the ring will doubtless make q
good thing of it. We hope, for the
sake of his political position, that
Governor Davis was beguiled into
taking the course he did, bat shall
not enjoy that felicity long If he
does not promptly abolish this en-
barge upon receiving the statements
of Governor Warmoth-the Board
of Health, and others, demon
strating the groundlessness OF 1.-THE
yellow fever scare"
Never before has so much mer-
chandise been shipped from this
port to Galveston, at a similar
period, as during the three weeks
preceding the establishment of this
quarantine. The Galveston mer-
chants were we'll fixed for heavy
sales and large profits, provided
competition could be shut out; and
they adopted the plan that had
ALWAYS proved successful in the past
to accomplish this result. Traders
from the interior cannot goby their
doors now, to a cheaper and better
market, but are compelled to lose
, the money which would have set
e tied their balances with New Or
g leans merchants in enhanced price:

THE YELLOW-FEyEB SCARE.

The mercantile community of
New Orleans has been suddenly
thrown into tumult of wonder
and Indignation at the unjusti6able
and injurious establishment Of a
rigid quarantine against us by our.
sister state-Texas. Wonder, be-
cause there is not the rsmotest dam
ger of an outbreak of any epidem-
ic. TIE health of the population is
exceedingly good and the sanitary
condition of the City is declared to
be very favorable. Naturally the
act of suddenly and without note
of warning cutting of commercial
intercourse with an adjacent City,
and arresting the whole CONNER
cial machinery, would arouse the
interest of men whose business re-
lations are so seriously interfered
with, hurt, and in some cases
ruined. The leading merchants,
staggered by the stroke, cast about
for the discovery if possible, Of the
foundation on which this act of the
Governor of Texas rests: and at the
same time appeal to our Governor,
the City authorities and the Health
officers to correspond with the Tex
as Government, and refute the SLAM
der against New Orleans, and pro-
cure. if possible the raising of the
quarantine.
Indignation, because of the finn
siness of the pretexts on which sc
great an injury on tie traders
between this city and Galveston
has been sought to be inflicted
The vague and interested rumors
the exceedingly insufficient though
indiscreet - information of DIR
White, are not sufficient warran
for the infection of a series of sud
den ADVERTISEMENTS to trade, which
almost make the remedy worse thai

been inflicted, and in response t.

CITY HOMICIDES.

Since our last issue, two human
lives have been sacrificed, in New
Orleans, the result of that uncontroll-
ed impulse of appealing to instru-
ments of death, on the most frivolous
pretexts.
On Wednesday night two men in
a grocery on Franklin street, near
Customhouse fall out; abusive cpl
thetspass; blows are exchanged, and
instantly one of the combatants re-
sorts to a "sharp cutting instru-
ment," and plunges it into the vitals
of David Goodman, who very short
ly after expires from internal hemor-
rhage. The murderer mingles In
stantly with the bystanders and es-
capes. A number of arrests, however,
have been made, and a coroner's in
|
quest held, but no scrutiny has
enabled the jurors to do more than
say that the deceased came to his
death from a wound inflicted by
some person or persons unknown tt
the jury.
The other was that of a mar
l named Louis May, also killed OF
Wednesday night in a grocery a
the corner of Louisiana Avenue ant
Annunciation streets, by John Go
= der. The circumstances appear t
S have been that three men under tn
b influence of "benzine" that prolifi
source of SO much prevalent crime
went into this place and used Ian
r guage and were guilty of outlandis
conduct.

Z. r. Williams. ESQ.,:
DEAR SIR regret exceedingly that
cannot meet the convention. Business
over viii oh have no control, will detalu
me here. You will please to give my
kindest regard to the convention. The
present meeting of the representatives OF
our people is, just at this time, one of great
portance; the choice of a day to cele-
brate as o memorial of the good events
that have resulted in giving us justice,
freedom and political rights. If l have
my choice. l say, give us the Fourth Of
July. The reason can be found in the
declaration of independence. A most im-
portant matter that will come before the
convention will be to tell the country
where we are on the political issues of the
day. Remember that you are the repre-
sentatives of 800, 900 or more voters. I
earnestly ask the convention not to dodge
the question or to give an uncertain sound !;
in the plainest language tell the world in
what party colored men will act. Take a
position and lay down a platform that all
can stand on. / have heard that it has
been suggested that the convention say
nothing about the political feeling of our
people. This must not be as American
citizens. We owe it to our common coun-
try to speak out. 1t is time. Fraternally
yours. MOSES DICKSON.
