A Last Desperate Dodge.

The Custom House Central Com
mittee yesterday issued call for
Convention to assemble on the nine
teenth of June at Baton Rouge, for
the purpose of nominating a so-ealled
Republican ticket Of State officers and
members of Congress. In this proela
nation Mr.. Packard displays the des-
perate extremes to which he is re-
duced. Beaten in the last Convention
by delegates created at no little mon
etary outlay by his clique, he propos-
es to overpower those who betrayed
him, and whom he fears he hiss made
so strong that they will claim admis-
sion to the next convention, by doubl-
inc the number of delegates the mass
of whom he intends to manipulate by
having their credentials sent to him
before the date of assembling. This
is the same old 9th of August dodge
over again. He appoints parish COM
mittees, and they elect delegates,
whose credentials are placed in his
custody. If these selections should
prove unreliable, he finds on the Gus
TOM House rolls an abundance of
ready made contestants, and having
thus full control of the preliminary
organization, he makes up the conven-
ton to suit himself.
1t was this high handed outrage,
backed by United States bayonets,
which, in 1871, drove the bulk OF the
Republican party out of the Custom
House building, and left him with but
corporaFs guard of followers outside
of his federal employees; and the rep
etition of this game will cause all who
have since been allured to his stand
ard to desert him next June at Baton
Rouge What ghost of a chance, un-
der such an arrangement as the one
proposed, has Mr.. Billings, Colonel
Carter, or any membur of the Grant
wing of the party, who dares claim to
be in the slightest degree independent
of the autocrat of the marshal's office?
None whatever their revolt and
desertion will forever quiet his pre-
sumptuous claim to leadership of the
Republican party or any division
| thereof in the State of Louisiana. Had
the propitious day sooner come, it
would have been a happy circum-
stance for all.-N. o. Republican.

WHICH HUMAN AND WHICH BRUTE Z
The Dubuque Telegraph vouches
for The following singular horse story ::
On Monday evening last man
whose name we could not learn, was
seen vending his way up Jnlien
avenue, leading mare by the bride.
He was badly intoxicated, so much
so that he staggered, and it was some
times as much as he could do to main
tain his equilibrium. The mare kept
close watch ON his movements, and
whenever he came near falling, the
mare would grab his coat collar be-
tween her teeth and hold him up. She
did so no less than q dozen times,
in the presence of several spectators.
The drunken man fell down in the
street once, but no sooner had he done
so than the animal grabbed the back
of his coat, and set him on his feet
again. When little beyond McNulty's
house, the owner OF the mare met All
acquaintance of his, who was also
drunk. They engaged in conversa-
tion, and while talking, bumped
against each other, and the man first
alluded to fell. He was Immediately
picked up by the mare, and just as
soon as she had finished her job, she
turned around and let her heels fly in
O savage manner at the man. who
knocked her rmaster down FortunateR
her heels missed the mark.
