THE LOUISIANA POLITICIANS.
The Louisiana factions are hard at work to
induce Presidential action pro and con- Lieut..
Gov Pinchbeck who is identified with the War
moth faction, visited the White House Thurs
day, and had a lengthy consultation with Pres
ident Grant Not only the Republicans of
Louisiana but the Democratic merchants are OPP
posed to Warmoth. They declare that they
can prove corruption on his part, while Messrs.
Casey and Carter stand high, politically. 1t is
well known that Warmoth cannot control two
thousand votes, but could lose to the Republi
can party over ten thousand, and their straight
is SO desperate that they are willing now to
compromise for almost anything While Pinch
beck is beseeehing in Washington, a colleague
of Warmoth is waiting him in New York, and
the indications are that Messrs. Casey and Car
ter will be supported.
A HORN LOBBY.
A strong lobby is in Washington endeavoring
to secure an amendment to the bill for the pre-
servation of life ON steamboats,, making it nee
essary that all sailing and fishing vessels use
the patent fog horn, worked by mechanical
means instead of as at present
THE LATEST SENSATION.
"The last sensation says Perley. "comes
from Berlin and represents the Emperor Fred
erick William as so angry about the exposures
made in the Senate debates about the sale of
arms that he threatens to break off friendly in
tercourse with the United States in case Gen.
Grant is reelected! Whether such nonsense
will brighten one into voting for boiling can
didate remains to be seem
REVOKED
Secretary Boutwell, has decided to revoke the
order of November g. 1871, requiring sailing
vessels to use Anderson's and Van Trump's fog
horns exclusively, and to issue new order per-
mitting masters of sailing vessels to purchase
horns of any other make, provided that they
are equal to those furnished by Anderson &
Van Trump, or an equivalent to a steam whis-
tie.
MIR. SUMNER AND THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
Regarding Mr.. Sumner some suspicious de-
yelopments are expected relative to his denial
of his Identification with the Cincinnati move
ment. 1t has brought out the facts, and a letter
is soon to be prepared, proving conclusively
that he promised Mr. Schurz that he would Off
ciate at the convention.
PARLIAMENTARY FILLIBUsTERING.
The resolution offered in the House Wednes-
day by McCrary of Iowa, to prevent iillibus-
tering attracts general attention. 1t provides
that whenever five members of the House shall
demand the right to debate bill or a resolution
they shall have the right to do so within the
limit OF two hours, and that two amendments
can be offered and voted upon, after which but
one dilatory motion, and that to adjourn, shall
be allowed The two days of fillibustering in
the House shows the necessity of some rule to
put an end to it. e

HE Washington correspondent of the Prov
idence Journal says that during the examna-
ton of Mr.. Sumner before the French Arms
Committee the scene was interesting, though
in some respects painful. Mr.. Sumner was
somewhat excited during the reading of his
second protest, and his bearing towards the
chairman of the Committee [Mr. Hamlin,l is
regarded as improper. He admitted that he
obtained some of his information on which he
based his preamble and resolution from the
Marquis of Chambrun, and Messrs. Carpenter
Conking and others, assert that this was inn
proper, but it is purely a question of taste.
There is no law or rule of the Senate prevent
ing intercourse with a foreigner under such cir
cumstances. ~ w@mgessFeg
THE New YORK HERALp's SENSATION The
little vacation tour of the New York Herald
correspondent among the swamps and Dogs of
North Carolina as the guest of the Lowery
band of outlaws furnishes the material for a
most exciting and thrilling romance for that
enterprising journal Now that the cores
pondent has safely returned to civilization, af-
ter suffering many things at the hands of the
telegraph and the Southern editors; after being
led out to execution by two of the bandits and
never heard of more, much that were other
wise tragic becomes simply interesting and even
amusing. His story on three-mile horseback
ride along swamp trail with the equipments
banging his legs at every step; his conveyance
across sbranch" on the back of one of the
mulatto outlaws to save his-the correspon-
dent's--boot polish; his blindfold visit to one
of the island dens of the robbers, where per-
feet arsenal of weapons confronted his aston
ished gaze; the hospitality he received at the
hands of Rhoda, Henry Berry Lowery's wife
and "Queen of Scufieton,' on whose beauty
he somewhat enthusiastically descants; the
marvellous equipment in which he represents
the outlaws as habitually travelling-no less
than rifle, two-barrelled shot guns, three six
shooting reyolyers and something less than a
peck of ammunition: the hardly won confidence
and eventual kindness of the desperate bandits,
and lastly the report of the death of Henry
Berry Lowery, their leader, by the accidental
discharge of his own gun, and the confirmation
of Boss Strong's DEATH thus reducing the band
to three, make up a most astonishing tale of
one phase of life in the nineteenth century,
and whet our appetite for the fuller details
which we may expect when the adventurous
correspondent has full office facilities for writ
ing and the opportunity of clear-headed re-
