NJ. JEFF Thompson presented the follow
| ing minority report:
The undersigned, minority of the COM
mittee of conference, would beg leave to
| report as follows: Your committee On con-
| ference have used every effort to fuse and
| combine with the clans of politicians known
| as the Reform, Democratic and Liberal
| parties, in this city and parish that we
! might present a united front under the
banners of Greeley and Brown, and Nc
| Emery and Penn, against our opposing wing
| of the Republican party; but our Overtures
have been neglected or repulsed in an in
sulting manner. Many of our party prefer
/ an honorable recognition from the Republi-
can party, in preference to following at the
tail of a movement in which they were the
originatOrs and leaders; but yet, as many
others are pledged or committed, or natu
rally prefer 10 continue their association
| with those with whom they have been CO.
operating, therefore we would ask the con-
vention to take the following action:
WHEREAS, After long, patient and earn
est efforts on the part of the Independent
Republicans to fuse or combine with clans
or factions of the Democratic party known
| as the Reform and Last Ditchers, and
total failure has been the result, for without
recognition by these factions our affiliatiOn
with the Liberal party will result in no
good; therefore, be it
ReSolUed, That the organization and con-
vention of the Independent Republican par
ty in the city and parish of Orleans be dis
solved, and each member thereof be re-
leased from all allegiance to the fusion
ticket, and permitted to seek such affihation
or associations as his inclinations or inter
ests may prompt without r6buke OF censure
from the other members of the convention
or party. M. JEFF THOMPSON.
Both reports were received. That of the
minority was laid on the table and that of
the majority OF the committee was adopted.
Mr.. Billings, of the tenth ward, moved
that the committee on conference be au-
thorized to wait on the president of the Re-
publican convention now in session, with a
view to the appointment of joint commit
tee of conference. Carried.
General Campbell, chairman of the com
mittee of conference, asked, from feelings
OF delicacy, to be excused from further ser
vice on the committee.
The same request was made BY Messrs.
Thompson, Miles and Helm.
The gentlemen were excused, and the
chair appointed Messrs. A. E. Billings, j.
a. Raynal and A. Spiser, Jr., in their stead
The finance committee was then increased
to five, as follows: M. jeff Thompson, r.
w. Todd, A. E. Billings, j. C. Weaver, and
NJ. G. Carroll.
A communication from General Long
street, published in another column, was
received and read.
The convention then adjourned until
twelve o'clock today.

POLITICAL GLEANINGs.

Senator A. B. Harris returned yesterday
from Concordia and the other up-rivel
parishes, where he has been taking part in
the campaign. He says there are no Me
Emery men left in that section; that Grant
will carry a majority of the white vote, and
that the Democrats themselves are deter
mined to have fair ballot.
1t was broadly asserted yesterday that
the Democratic nominees for the Legisla-
ture were pledged against sending Governor
Warmoth to the Senate, and that B. f,
Jonas, Esq, is their choice. Whether any
such pledge has been given or not, we know
that some of them are opposed to CON
ferring upon the Governor this honor, SO
well earned at their hands. This action
will be fitting sequel to their past treach-
cries; crowning infamy, which will for
ever after serve to warn trusting Repub-
icans to beware of Democratic beguile-
ments.
A large number of aspirants for Office be-
fore the Democratic and Liberal conven-
tions are now willing to accept positions
from the Republicans. We doubt if this
would be good policy either for them or our
party. They would rest under the suspi-
cion if nominated, of lacking in fixed polit-
ical principles, while the Republican con-
vention would certainly be accused of
ignoring the charge of bargain and sale
which clings around everything connected
+I,a lo+o
barrenness in the field from which it is to
Gull a choice boquet of honesty, gespecta-
bility and talent.
Still we 40 not agree with the rhymster
who sends US this, dedicated to the Cast
aways:"
They may renounce and break
With the Libs if they will,
But the taint of corruption
Hangs on to EN- still.
Let them work as Republicans, and get
rewarded with appointive positions here
after
Leaving out candidates, we have yet to
encounter single man who says he will
vote the fusion ticket in its entirety. Not
one,. candidates included, is wholly salts
fed, and this we announce after very in
dustrious inquiry made yesterday. We are
confident, counting both the recruits gained
and the opposition disgusted who will take
no further part in the election, that our esUi-
mate of 5000 gain to. the Republicans yes
terday is considerably below the actual
fact
We have studied politics too long not to
know that there will be reaction from the
present extraordinary depression among
the opponents of the Republican party, and
some show of enthusiasm will doubtless be
got up; but we conscientiously believe that
the "fusionistsD will not poll the number of
votes by ten or twelve thousand they had
in their following two weeks ago. Their
sole hope of success now is through fraudu-
lent registry and returns, and such a vic
tory we know will turn to bitterest ashes on
their lips.
There were reports last night of arrange
ments made between the "a. P. US" and
the clubs of foreign born citizens and the
State Committees and conven-
ton. We doubt if any terms of alliance
have been agreed to; but such genuine,

A Washington special Of the eleventh in
staht to the st. Louis Democrat says:
9rhere have been numerous arrivals from
all parts of Pennsylvania to-day of those
who went home to vote, and the universal
testimony is that the unexpected majority
in the State il due very largely to the fail
ure Of the Democrats to support the ticket.
Many refrained entirely from voting; others
voted the Republican ticket, because they
interpreted the vote for BuckaleW to be the
vote for Greeley. Testimony is also uni
versaI that business Democrats especially
-repudiated the Greeley ticket The general
opinion from Philadelphia is to the effect
that Alexander Mcclure has sold out the
furniture of the Liberal committee head
quarters and closed them for the present.

Confession of one of the Perpetrators
Burning of Steamboats, to Draw the
Police Away.
Associated Press dispatches from Mem
phis, which we publish this morning, pre-
sent an interesting report of information
obtained lately by Mr. Scooler as to the
parties connected with the robbery Of his
jewelry store in this city. 1t seems, accord
ing to the statement or confession Of James
Kinney, that the robbery was planned by
Billy Forester, Frank Dayne, alias Dago
Frank, and Dave Cummings, and that in
order to draw the police from the scene of
the robbery, 1hey hired men to set the
steamboats, at the landing on fire, by which
means the steamers Thompson Dean, Ma
genta, Grand Era, John Howard and Julia
A, Rudolph were burned.
Mr. SCOOTER has discovered and identified
one large diamond sold to Angelo Marie,
and put up as bail for his brother, John
Marie. Several other diamonds have been
found and identified, never having been re-
moved from the original settings.
The REPUBLICAN of Tuesday, January 3,
1871, contains report of the burning
Of the steamers Magenta, Thompson Dean,
Grand Era, John Howard and Julia
A. Rudolph. The fire commenced on the
Magenta about half past five o'clock Sunday
morning, and was ascribed to the upsettiDg
of coal oil lamp in the nursery room,
though there was no positive information
elected to sustain that belief.
The same paper contains report of the
SCOOTER robbery which occurred Sunday
morning also.
The SCOOTER robbery was discovered
about seven o'clock Sunday morning by an
employe in the photograph gallery Of Mr..
Moses, in the ame'building, who, on going
in, discovered that somebody had been
there before him.
