W. Slocum. Of New York. a"real SOL
der" has addressed . letter to General
A. Z. Burnside, in which the hero of
Fredericksburg i fesrfally cxeoriated.
Take this extract for specimen:
The truth Of the nying that 'the pen
Is misbeier them the sword" il coming
year By yesr 70 Be more generally ackuowi-
edged. In view Of the election Of General
Grant to the Presidency. and Of the fact that
he is candidate for reelection, there are
probably some mon in the country, Who
doubt its truth. II. however. We were to
add to the saying the proviso that the pen
should be handled BY Greeley and tho
sword By . Burnside all dcabters would
disappear.

opinion of the surgeons performing
the operation that Maher will have
the use of his arm again, though not
quite so perfectly as before he was

that it came out with the mass of gore
which issued from the arm.

of q "Judicial Nominating Conven-
ton, Fourth District 1t is headed
"Parishes of St. Charles, st. james,
St. John the Baptist and ascension"
At that Convention the Parish OF AS
sension was not represented. From in
formation gathered of the executive
committee of this parish, no notice of
the assembling of that convention was
given here. At that convention Judge
Beauvais was unanimously nominated
for District Judge and Mr.. DePoorter
for District Attorney.
That convention did not only ignore
the parish of Ascension, but also the
claims of our brother Democrats who,
by virtue of the fusion entered into
between them and the Liberals on the
Goth, should have had voice in the
deliberations.
The executive committee of this
parish was about to issue call for a
district convention TO be held in DON
aldsonville ON the 18th inst, and a
subcommittee was appointed by it to
extend TO the people of the Other
parishes of the district special notices
and invitations to attend said conven-
ton. The 18th was selected as being
q day after the closing of the thirty
days dedicated by the Liberal Con
vention for a coalition. When news
was received of the fusion, the exec
utive committee Withdrew their call
so as to direct it to all who favor thu
Fusion ticket, thereby inviting oul

HORSE THIEF|- Henry Prince, col
ored, was arrested in Port Barrow
by a deputy Sheriff, Tuesday, with
mare in his possession supposed to
be stolen. Thes man was lodged in
jail and the malh turned over to the
keeping of Sheriff Kline, where it still
remains, awaiting the appearance of
the owuer. The Sheriff informed a
deputy Sheriff of Assumption, in which
parish the mare was obtained, of the
arrest OF. Prince, and on Thursday the
deputy appeared in town with an or
der from the Parish Court of Assump-
ton, and took the prisoner to Ma
poleonville, where an examination
will develop the facts of the case.
The story told by the arrested man is
of such a character as to leave little
doubt of his having obtained the mare
through illegal means.
