The SenaIOrsliip.

In our Issue of April 18th, we pub
lished a communication from a prom
nent citizen in this county, in which
lie set forth, that it was Williamson
county's right, from custom, to have
The Floater in the next General As.
scmbly, and that under the new ap-
portiOrment it would be nothing but
right for Maury 10 have the Senator.
We published the communication
without comment 10 which the
Franklin Review and Journal OBJ
jccts, and calls for our views, and
asks us TO speak for Maury County.
We have tested the sentiment of the
people by conyersing with them up
on The subject; and find that a very
large majority of them agree with
our correspondent. We do not think
our neighbor has given, or can give,
any valid or plausible reason why
Marry should not have the Senator.
lie refers TO the matter in the ap-
pended language:
Williamson county is entitled to
the Floater i'm the next Legislature.
Which county is entitled to the Sem
atcr? LAST session Williamson coun-
~ was in the Senatorial district with
Rutherford and the latter had the
Senator. Maury was in a district
with other counties and Maury had
tie Senator from that district. On
these accounts we consider William
IL county justly entitled to the Sem
aior for the next Legislature.
But will she claim this right and
ard at The same time prefer her claim
10 The Floater? In our opinion there
should be an alienation. When
Williamson has the Floater Maury
should have the Senator, and vice
versa. Williamson should, however.
be allowed TO decide which of the
two she shall take at present. AS
matter of equity and fair dealing,
Maury should hold still until Will
Hanson county has spoken in the
matter. 1t may, perhaps, be best that
we take the Floaterial representative
for the next term, as it naturally falls
to our lot. To be sure we could find
plenty ofpatriotic gentlemen willing
TO serve the State, to fill both posi-
tions. But as there is no principle
involved in the matter we are will
ing to be controlled by policy"
The editor is mistaken when he
states that Maury had the Senator
from this district, in the last Legisla-
ture. Col. I. II. PEBBLES was elect
ed from this county, but after his
death, Col. A. Il. COOPER, from Lew
is, was elected, and was the Senator
from this district. So, the only rea-
son given, by the Review, why Viii
Hanson should have the Senator, top
pies to the ground.
But from some unknown cause, it is
claimed "as matter of equity and
lair dealing, that Maury should hold
still until Williamson has spoken in
the matter" The gentleman must
use the terms equity and fair deal
ing i'm a special sense, as We are I'M
able to see how he could, in the Or
binary acceptation, consistly use the

RED RIVER PPETnHTs.

The following letter is from citizen Of
Shreveport, who is attending the Baton
Rouge convention. He has taken time,
however, in the midst of political excite
ment, to call attention to a grievance
against which Red river merchants com
plain. We commend his letter to the at
tenton Of interested parties in this city:
BATON ROUGE, La, June IS, 1872.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
En- route from Shreveport, Louisiana, to
this at present political centre of attrac-
ton, your correspondent has CLEANED some
facts Of commercial nature which he
hopes will receive publicity in your com
mercial column. At present there is a com
bination line Of packets plying between
your city and Shreveport, the metropolis Of
North Louisiana, which, when there is no
competition, exaets ruinous tributes in the
way of frieghts, and even then are irrespon-
sible in the execution Of orders trom their
compulsory patrons at the way landings be-
tween the two points.
We of this section would ask, do the
merchants of your city receive a rebate on
freights If not, why then do they not
follow instructions to ship by the independ-
ent line boats The merchants Of ShreEe-
port and the country dealers are interested
in breaking up this combination line; hence
they desire their friends in New Orleans to
patronize the Independent boats, well know
ing that if they are forced out the old ex-
tortionate rates of freights viii be resumed
by the would-be mOnOpolists, We could
mention many instances wherein your mer-
chants have disregarded the wishes of their
patrons on Red river by shipping per the
combination line. Can you expect to re-
tain our trade if cur people cease to repOse
confidence in your merchants If so, then
your expectations viii be NEST grievousIy
disappointed. In this age of progress,
Telghts being so much capital in course of
transit, must seek the route from the point
reproduction to the point Of consumption BY
the line which win offer the best facilities;
hence it follows that the producer and con
sumner are daily becoming more intimately
connected in business relations. If the
merchants Of New Orleans would retain
the trade Of North Louisiana and Eastern
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-21
so FUSION.

If the accounts from Baton Rouge are
correct a fusion Of the ingredients Of the
two conventions now in session there is
impossible. The Pinchback convention
and the Packard convention are likely to
continue separate and distinct organiza-
tons, representing two parties, that will
take separate and adverse action in the po-
litical contest just about to commence
1t is not unlikely that each convention
will present a separate State ticket; and,
in that case, the people Of this State will
have the choice Of three State tickets, for
the Liberal Republicans have already sig
nifed their intention of holding nom
mating convention; and the Liberal party
is now rapidly organizing. The chances
are, then, that Governor Warmoth or
some other equally good man VIII be
the candidate of the Liberal Republican
party for Governor, while Kellogg will be
the candidate Of the Packard convention
and Pinchback of the Pinchback conven-
tion for the same Office. Mr.. Kellogg, in
that case, will be the candidate of the
Grant party, which pretends to be the Re
publican party of this State, and through
this pretension expects to receive the solid
vote Of the colored people. MIR. Pinch
back, who is colored man, will be the
candidate Of that branch of the Repub-
ican party largely in the majority when
Governor Warmoth was identified with it,
and receives his nomination, if nominated,
from the legitimate Republican conven-
ton He will undoubtedly receive a large
vote among the colored people, if he con-
tinues to run, and thus render the cleo
ton of the nominee of the Customhouse
convention impossible, while rendering
that Of the Liberal Republican candidate
certain.
The fact, then, that fusion Of the two
conventions is thought impossible, and the
split in that portion of the Republican
party that up to this time adheres to Grant
is unalterably fixed, renders the victory
for the Liberals next fall an easy one. We
were confident they would have success
even if they had to confront the united
forces Of the parties represented by the
Pinchback and Packard conventions; but
but with these parties divided and fighting
each other the Liberals will quietly walk
off with the bone of contention. In case
of this kind, where the people have be-
come fully aroused to the necessities of re-
form, Calling guns will be Of no serviceto
the GRANTEES.

ONE POINT SETTLED,

q Of the seven hundred and fourteen dele
gates to the Baltimore convention, four
hundred and ffty-one pronounced for
Greeley before the Illinois State eonven-
ton took sides in the same direction. This
settles the matter, for since Illinois pro-
nounced, Alabama and Texas have con-
tributed their votes to swell the strength
of the Cincinnati nominations. As it re-
quires two-thirds vote to make the nomi-
nation, we are safe in saying that Horace
Greeley has five hundred and twenty-five
delegates already committed in his favor,
which is forty-eight more than he requires.
The game is made.

central opponent Of the doctrines Of JEFF
ferson. i was he who first raised the
standard Of opposition to the principles Of
strict eonstTuction-who inculcated liberal
ideas and enlarged liberty to the greatest
number. His present candidature for the
highest Office in the gift Of the people is
the result Of his bitter opposition and no
tlceable warfare upon the centralizing ten
dency Of the administration. But the
personal defects Of President Grant gives
even additional incentives for his defeat.
1t is he who has become a national repre-
sentative Of the worst vices Of the times
His greed Of wealth, the love of parade and
luxury, and his demoralizing habit of
speculation has stirred up the deep disgust
of a people, sensitive in their pride, and
regarding the honor Of their ruler as their
own.
Nothing could be more Objectionable to
Mr.. Greeley or more at variance with his
opinions than these characteristics Of his
opponent. While the one is all for self,
the benevolent spirit and patriotic i'm
pulses Of the philosopher make him a SER
want for good for all mankind.
1t is no objection to him here in the
South that he has been an abolitionist from
the beginning. He was in those days a
bold, frank and generous enemy. His be-
coming bail for Mr.. Davis is a striking ex-
ample of the fact. But now we have no
slavery, and few in the South regret its
disappearance. Certainly, it is no cause
of complaint against the Cincinnati nomi-
nee. He may be plain in speech and
dress-a representative Of the sound, prac-
teal sense, instead Of the enthusiastic
folly of the nation-we like him the better
for that He may not be a jockey, a racer
or political mendieant, but he is a
farmer, Journalist and an honest man.

THE BATON ROUGE FARCE.

Our dispatches from Baton Rouge are
not quite clear as to the result Of the days
fight, but appear to indicate that the Gus
tomhouse ring had ousted enemies enough
to secure the control of the convention.
This would indicate the nomination Of
Kellogg, which was not accomplished last
night, owing probably to the lateness Of
the hour 40 P. NJ when the organiza-
ton was effected. If we understand the
tenor Of the dispatches, the rest Of the
work will be comparatively easy, and the
form of going through the nominations,
and presenting the names already decided
upon at Washington, viii be concluded
soon after the meeting Of the convention
to-day.

ONE OF OUR TROUBLES.

The rate Of interest in New Orleans
ranges from twelve to eighteen per cent.
This is lovely for the lenders, but it is
death to the borrowers. If by depre-
ciating the credit of the State, and ira
ducing the general fortunes of the commu-
nifty, strangers can be prevented from
sending their money here to loan, the
brokers will laugh and the usurers will
grow fat. Mr.. McCloskey, as vendor Of
refreshments and president of bank, is
in favor Of high rate of interest, because
he rents his money and refuses to pay
taxes on his property. The difficulty of
it is, the frogs do not see this game, and
they are croaking the same tune that
McCloskey pipes. Was there ever such a
set of frogs? Something will strike them
by and by, and then there will be diff
ferent aria delivered out of the pond.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-06-21

When ducks look skyward look out
for rain. The Pieay,as says that the
caucus that is to be held in New York
to-day means the withdrawal of Gree
ley and the substitution Of a Liberal
Republican less obnoxious to the De-
mocracy. That is a profound suggestion.
We shall next be told that Sumner, Schurz,
Fen.On and Andy johnson intend to with
draw Grant in favor of a better man.
With two-thirds of the Democratic dele
gales already pledged to Greeley, who is
authorized to withdraw him?
