AS it is quite beyond the ability OF
the responsible conductor to frame
such passable specimen of English
composition, we are lead to believe
that the low squirt of vulgality con-
tanned in the last issue of the Leader,
and directed against the editor of this
journal, was written by a person
ashamed to assume public response
bility for his own slime. Well, we
don't blame him; for most any man,
possessing the least sense of deceney,
would be ashamed to acknowledge
the stuff.

| The CHIEF in noticing the probable sus.
pension of the Iberville South, winds up by
saying that the South is an outspoken Lib
Ferd Republican Journal" 1t is rot true I:
! the South is a thorough Democratic journal.
And, further, the South is one of
those organs that cry. Kellogg Grant or the
devil, but save us from Warmoth.-Leader.
In answer to the direct insinuation
against our veracity contained in the
foregoing extract we refer our readers
to an article published in the third
column of the first page of the CHIEF
of July 9th, copied from the Iberville
South of the week previous, wherein
that journal says: "Now we do not
propose to merit or deserve the cen
sure of these gentlemen of the press
by endorsing Gov. Warmoth or his
acts, but we do propose to Join the
movement of the new Liberal State
party, and if Gov. Warmoth sees fit
to aid us in preventing Grant and his
office-holding minions from getting
control of the State, we shall thank
him for that assistance, and, if neces-
sary, honor him for his services"
Thus it will be seen that our state
ment regarding the political status of
the South is true, while the assertions

t1cniar. It matters little to us whether
our contemporaries frequent attacks
upon our veracity are the result of
sheer righteousness or inexcusable ig-
norance; it is enough to know that we
have met and disproved them in all
instances and in such decided manner
as would have brought forth retrac-
tons and apologies from more hon
est and fair minded opponent.

Mr.. Geo. H. Jackson, prominent
eolored citizen of Baton Rouge, and
one of the finest orators of his race in
this State, has joined the Liberal
movement in support of Greeley and

Liberal nominees will have host of

chised portion of the people.

The approaching Liberal State
Convention could NOT do a wiser
thing than offer Mr.. Pinchbaek the
nomination for Congress from the
State at large, and if that gentleman
would accept it, his candidature
would perhaps do more to strengthen
the ticket than that of any other man
in. the State. There should be rep
resentatiye of tho colored portion of
the people on the. ticket, and who
is there more fitting than Lieutenant

We decline to accept the challenge
OF the Leader to produce quotation
from the CHIEF which speaks of Geo.
W. Carter as Zone of the most tai
ented men in Louisiana for the sim
pie reason that our language of week
before last does not necessarily mean
that such Communications of Mr.. Carter
was expressed editorially. But can
the Leader produce anything from our
columns which would seem to infer
that Mr.. Carter is not tone of the
most talented men in Louisiana?n

By force of example we have in
duced the Leader for some time past
to maintain tolerable degree of
courtesy towards us, but il seems tile
restraint has proven too irksome to
the conductor of that Journal, for he
has vacated the position of an editor

level in q fresh ontburst of journals

may be more in cnnsonanee with his
small mind and low instincts, but 1t
has very little weight among people
who possess common refinement and
intelligence,

Whatever charges of inconsistency,
misrepresentation or insincerity our
contemporary of the Leader may bring
against us, this much is certain: the
course of the CHIEF has been such as
to gain 1t host of friends among the
most intelligent and influential mem
bers of the community, and this would
not be the case if it had been an in
consistent or unreliable journal.

1t is a fact that every time the

nunciation is preferable to its praise.

We have received under the franl,
of Hon. J. H. Platt, NJ. e., a pamphlet
entitled What Horace Greeley
Knows" the contents of which con-
sist of extracts from editorials, letters
and speeches of the Liberal candi-
date for President, some of them da-
ting as far back as 1871. This PAM
phlet has been compiled as a cam
paign document against Mr.. Greeley,
but among sensible and thinking men
it will do him no harm. OF course
Some of the views expressed by him
at different periods of his life are
shown to be inconsistent with express
sions Mt other periods, and it would be
strange if this were not so, for in the
continual change which takes place in
the political situation what might be
very feasible and proper at one time
would appear impracticable and III
diculous at another. "0nly fools are
consistent is an old saying and a
true one, and those who read this
campaign document should remem-
Der that like one, displaying fully
as many Inconsistencies can be
compiled from the sayings and doings
of every man in the country who has
been in public life so long and PRONE
inently as Horace Greeley. A pernsal
OF the numerous extracts contained in
the pamphlet in question will demon
strate that Mr.. Greeley has always
possessed the merit of declaring his
honest convictions fearlessly and ex-
plicitly, and this good quality has had
no small share in raising him to the
high and honorable position he holds
in the hearts of his countrymen.,

A SUGGESTION FOR THE LIBERAL
C0NVENTI0N., .s


The most important matter to be
considered by the approaching Liber-
al State Convention is the selection OF
ticket which shall be strongest with
all classes, To this end it is necessary
that the candidates should be taken,
as far as practicable, from among diff
fefent elements of the community as
well as different portions of the State.
Neither the Baton Rouge or the "uni-
ted State ticket have a representa-
tive of the Germans upon them, and
the Liberal ticket will gain deal OF
strength by having German as one
of its candidates.
Prominent among the aspirants be-
fore the Convention for the nominal
ton of Secretary of State will be Mr..
Louis S. Mayenno, whose claims viii
probably be pressed by the most
prominent German Liberals of New
Orleans and the State at large, and
will certainly be worthy of serious
consideration.
Besides enjoying an enviable degree
of popularity among his fellow Ger
man citizens, Mr.. Mayenno is thor
oughly acquainted with the duties of
the position of Secretary of State,
having been employed in the Office as
chief clerk for the last three years.
He is a sober, industrious man and
a courteous, obliging gentleman. He
would fill the position of Secretary of
State with honor and credit.

HUGo's MONSTER.
A Gigantic Devil Fish Captured On
the Coast Of Newfoundland.

Abiding to the report that in Bo-
navists Harbor a gigantic cuttle-6sh
was captured, measuring thirty feet
from the tip Of the horns to the ex-
tremity of the tail, and having a bill
the top Of which resembles that Of
the largest eagle, and t4e under part
that of parrot, a correspondent of
the St. JOhn IN. F.. Telegraph
says:
"If the captor of this thirty foot
cutie could have procured rum
enough to preserve it (no easy lob
certainly }, it would have been a for
tune to him. Barnum and Aeassiz
would have bid against each other
furiously for possession of the crea-
ture, and the managers of the Brit
ish Museum would have sent out an
agent to compete. Perhaps the
highest bidder of all, provided he is
in pocket just now, would have been
Victor Hugo; as he could confront
the world with this, and prove that
his celebrated devil-fsh, in ssThe
Toilers Of the Sea- is no fanciful ic-
ton, and that ''fact is stronger than
fiction" That some specimens Of
the cutlle-fsh have attained enorm-
Gus dimensions is well established.
There are, however, well authenti-
Gated instances Of divers in the In
dian Seas having been caught in the
long, 1.-THE arms of this fish, with
their cold adhesive powers, and held
in its elammy embrace until life was
extinct. Nothing can be more hor-
rible and repGlsiVe than one of these
large cuttle-fsh, with its fabbycorpse
like feshiness, its liVid hue that
comes and goes so strangely, its un-
couth agility and its ghastly green
eyes that are enough to paralyze its
victim. Its head protrudes from a
muscular sac, and is distinct from
the body. The mouth is armed with
horny mandibles, resembling the bill
of a parrot. Surrounding the mouth
are the tentaeular appendages, or
arms which serve at once for instru-
ments Of locomotion and organs for
seizing and holding of prey. They
are eight in number, each being sun
piled with a double row Of sucking
disks, which set on the principle Of
cupping glass, aud being applied
to any surface, adhere to it, at the
will Of the animal, Eith such force
that it is easier to tear away the sub
stance Of limb than to release il
from its attachment. Each Of its
eight arms carries one hundred and
twenty pairs of su cking disks. Find.
ing out pair Of these tentacula.
the cutie seizes its victim, which,
in its struggles, comes in contact
with more and more of the fatal disks
in succession, till it is poWerless in
the grasp Of his enemy, whose sharp,
horny beak, soon tears it in pieces.
l am inclined to think that the cor
respondent has not been accurate in
his measurements, or has accepted
secondhand statements. This much,
however, is certain-that a gigantic
cutie has been captured, of dimen-
sions sufficiently large to satisfy the
most devoted lover Of the marvel
ous."
