would not accept any ONCE at the hands OF
the people, but that he opposed the resOlu-
ton because he did not think that any re-
strictions should be placed on the members.
The president, Mr.. Williamson, left his
chair and addressed the convention on the
subject. He stated that though no candi-
date for any office himself, he refused to
disfranchise himself or any other member
of the body over which he had the honor to
preside.
Mr. Ogden offered a resolution to appoint
should be to draft resolutions expressive of
the views and principles of the Reform
party of Louisiana. Adopted.
BY /. N. Marks-A resolution that the
president Of the convention appoint a CEN
trail executive committee, to consist of
twenty-one members from the parish of
Orleans and one member from each other
parish in the State. Adopted.
Vice President Kerr then moved that
there be a recess of half an hour, and the
motion was carried.
The president announced the following
named gentlemen as the committee on re-
solutions:
H. N. Ogden, Moses Greenwood, L. de
Partier, Willis Richardson, George RalstOn,
G. F. Buck.
At a suggestion from the president, there
being no more business before the cOnven-
liOn, that a motion to adjourn would be in
order The motion was made and the time
appointed was 2 P. M. to-day, because the
committee that had been appointed would
not be able to make its report before that
time. This brought some of the country
members into the field asking for an earlier
hour. The convention adjourned until P.
M. to-day.

Monday, the third instant, the ticket having
cost 81 %. and having been purchased at
the office No. 81 Magazine street, corner of
Natchez alley Mr. Baptiste is a very lucky
man, and as the amount he drew was
promptly paid on presen tation of his ticket
at the office of the company in check on

supremely happy. What he will do with
his proportion of that $4,000 is not under
stood by the public. Perhaps he will invest
at odd times $500 or $500 in lottery tickets.

A New Society Novel.

The "Reigning Belle" Mrs. Ann S.
Stephens new society novel, is in press and
will be published in few days by T. B.
Peterson IL Brothers, Philadelphia, Penn
sylvania. It is said to be the best book
that this popular authOress has ever written.
The :'Reigning Belle" will be issued in a
large duOdecimo volume, uniform with Mrs.
Stephens seventeen other works, and will
be for sale at all the book stores at the low
price Of 81 Is in cloth, OF 81 so in paper
cover; or copies will be sent by mail to any
place, post paid, by the publishers On the
receipt of the price Of the work in letter
to them.
We understand that I. B. Peterson g.
Brothers, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the
publishers of the popular poem Of "Beauti-
fuI Snow" have secured the services of the
distinguished American artist, Mr.. Edward
Z. Henry, Of New York, to illustrate this
fine poem for them; and they have in press,
to be shortly published, new illustrated
edition of it. We are sure that the well
known reputation Of Mr.. Henry will insure
to the public something above in merit
what is usually seen in so-called illustrated
books. The new novels just published by
this well known house, "WhO Shall be Vic
tor ~ the sequel to the "Canceled Win, - by
Miss E. A. Dupuy, "My Hero" a charming
love story by new English writer, the
Fatal Marriages." by Henry Cockton, etc.
are especially good, and are having large
sales, and should be read by all.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
A friend has called my attention to an
editorial paragraph in your paper of the
fourth instant, which says:
Mr.. Patton, in his capacity as chairman
OF the Democratic party, struck the same
truth which we have so often told to the
Bee, that the people have lost confidence
IN the Democratic party.
have never expressed such a sentiment,
nor do entertain it. l believe now, as l
have always believed, that the only hope
for the redemption Of our country from
tyranny, misrule and corruption, lies in
that party, and feel sure that the people
have the same confidence in it that they
have always had, to as great extent as
when their confidence and support enabled
it to achieve such great victories in the
cause of human liberty and human progress.
Please do me the justice to insert this
communication. /. w. PATTON.

The Mobile Railroad.

1t is pleasant to interview occasio nally
that courteous gentleman, Mr.. G. w. R.
Bayley, the superintendent of the New Or
leans, Mobile and Texas railroad. Il is
always communicative, and responds read
lily to questions that interest the public.
In brief interview yesterday we learned
from Mr.. Bayley that excursion tickets at
half rates, good for three days, may be had
at any of the stations on the road as far as
Ocean Springs, to come to and return from
New Orleans. This is a positive eOnve-
nience to people residing at the watering
places and sporting stations on the road
who may wish to visit New Orleans, and
affords them the same liberal rates Of fare
as provided for those who 60 from New Or
leans on excursion tickets.
These reduced rates of fare are owing,
we presume, in a great measure to the en-
ergetic efforts Of Mr.. Bayley to accommO-
date and satisfy the patrons Of the road.
Undoubtedly his practical experience has
convinced him that pleasure-seekers, while
liberal in the expenditure Of money, are dis
posed to travel only on such routes as
afford them three great requisites-quick
time, low fares, and good accommodations.
The Mobile road now answers the public
expectations, and the public freely bestow
their patronage upon it, as by the magnif :
cent passenger coaches, crowded with peo-
pie travelling for enjoyment and pleasure,
the most skeptieal viii be Convinced.

The storm Yesterday.

A terrible storm Of rain and wind,
thunder and lightning came up suddenly
yesterday afternoon, between five and six
O'Clock. The thunder and lightning were
grand and terrific In a short space of
time over an inch Of rain fell, and it came
down with such violence that the usual
water blockade soon disturbed the serenity
of people who wanted TO 60 TO or from
their homes or any other place. The rain
drenched the cutters very thoroughly and
saved some draining expenses.

to Magnolia and return, s.. With the in
ducements offered to excursionists on this

CITY TAXES.

DEPARTMENT or FINANCE,
City Hall, June ! 1872.
HTAYPAYERS ARB REMINDED THAT THE TINE
n is fast passing away IN winch they can pay
CITY taxes without heavy costs.
1t is perhaps not generally known that the mere
register of tax bills in the office OF the Recorder OF
Mortgages constitutes lien upon all the deln-
uuents property, and no transfer can be made
until the bill is paid with all the costs.
Taxes NAV now be paid as follows: & % in
cash S S. IN ve.eighths return tax, certificates
of appropriation, school certificates OF metropolitan
police warrants.
The extraordinary discount at which these Obli-
cations can be bought goes far to neutraize the
Just complaint of heavy taxes, Willie the purpose
for which the cash is required, viz: to pay the in
terest on the bonded debt, appeals to the patriot
ism of every citizen who desires to redeem our city
from its enbarrassmeuts, which can not be done
unless the credit Of its bonds is preserved.
