ANA. Any man with All engineering
eye can see this.
The Picdynne is Grant organ It's
way 0t serving the administration is
10y dividing its opponents. The Pie
ayune leads lot of fools with great
ability. 1t is its nature.
Pinchback's Convention did itself
hon0r by nominating General Barber
us a candidate for Congress in the
Second Congressional district. Gen
eral Barber has hosts of friends in
Jefferson parish who swear he viii I've
elected.
The Patriot has rather gone hack on
McEnery. 1t wants convention OF
all the people to meet and nominate a
Governor. BY all means. Let.us have
a iair old fashioned shake down. Let
us break the little rings that have
governed the country by virtue OF
their power to control conventions.

Emile Lasere helped TO rush this
State into the rebellion--he helped to
ruin the Tehuantepec route--and now

Jonathan Henri Burch. one of the
honorable members OF the last lrgisla-
ture from Baton Rouge, it is believed
knows something about which of the

The Indians complain that the white
people teach them all sorts uf mean
habits. The cOlored people say the
