POLITICAL GLEANINGs.

among the slain, and there was weeping
and wailing and gnashing of teeth among
the friends Of those whose hopes Of long
official life were thus summarily terminated.
The first dispatches given to the public in
the evening Times, imperfect and half made
up as they were, furnished the following
results:

And this lengthy array before the returns
were half made up! We have not the
heart to pursue the subject to the end, but
shed silent tear upon this monster sepul-
chre of political aspirations.
Have the opposition strengthened them
selves by attempting to undo the work of
the conventions Most decidedly not On
tho contrary their present possession Of two
passably tair tickets leaves them greatly
weaker than they were with one abomina-
bly, bad one. Not only is all unity of
action and purpose destroyed, but jeal-
Gus, bitter and determined rivalry has been
substituted, which promises good, FORUM
ately, to the Republicans only. In addi-
ton to this source of weakness, the nomi-
pees who have been suddenly deposed, and
in some degree thereby degraded in public
estimation have lost all heart and interest
in the canvass, aud with their equally dis
gusted friends will either take no further
part in the election or fall into the Repub-
fcan ranks where they will get "square
deal'' and hearty welcome. Particularly
will this be found the case where men,
universally acknowledged to be fit and
proper candidates, have been set aside in
favor of others, to say the least, not their
superiors, to crafty the whim, the spite OF
the self-interest Of some lucky conference
committeeman.
The opposition are like the traveller
caught in the quicksands--eyery fresh
plunge and struggle but sinks them deeper
and hastens their doom. AS the city and
State will prosper by the election of the
Republican tickets. we say, $50 mote it be-
But there is one class of the victims of
this confusion Of interests who will find
little sympathy-yet as much as they de-
serve. We allude to the men who by means
Of bribes to delegates, and other corrupt
influences, obtained nominations which
have now been wrested from them by the
autooratic committees. It may teach them
a wholesome lesson, as it must have been a
bitter one-money and fair fame sacrificed
without d consideration therefor of any
sort.
Governor Warmoth left Monroe yester-
day for New Orleans, via Vicksburg and
jackson, and is, therefore, due here by the
eleven, o'clock train today. This will be
good news to many who are anxious that
the registration muddle shall be promptly
settled in order to avoid federal interfer-
enee in or revision Of the dlection.
In reference to the triple-sided contest
for the ofico Of supervisor in st. Charles
parish, it was reported yesterday that Gov
ernor A. w. Walker, or some other power,
had appointed a chief constable who was
at once dispatched to the headquarters of
the original appointee, Mr.. Chadbourne,
with orders to seize the registration books.
By what process or in what manner he
means to set about this delicate task is a
puzzling question.
What has become of the Greeley and
Brown, McEnery & Co. Democratic clubs
What has dried UP the torrents Of eloquence
that fiery young orators nightly poured
forth at a score or more Of wigwams The
kerosene market is drugged the trans
parency makers hand is idle, and the
cookies of the hearts of ''the boys" are no
longer warmed by free bumpers of the
''rosy." Why is this thus? Alas "fusion"
has done it. The hopes Of the orators have
''gone where the woodbine twineth," and
generous hosts no longer see fat Offices with
in their grasp. NO pay, no work, " is the
universal motto, and the only ones who see
pay seem to be the jolly dogs who dictate
to the people from those mysterious temples
with many worshipers, yclept "headquar-
ters conference committees" If the South
rons, Knights, Guards, Cadets, etc, will
put up their campaign toys and equipments
at auction, some Of our colored friends
might bid liberal price therefor. It is their
only play for "even.'
The SKINNER Club and Jonas Cadets
passed resolutions denouncing and refusing
to support the late fusion ticket. Now that
there are two tickets in the field, both good
Democratic tickets, TOO, and both contain
ing the name of Mr.. Jonas, it is their turn
to resolute some more as to which they will
give their allegiance.
