CONFIDENCE MAN-LGrge Robbery
Monsieur A. Chariot, not many months
from France, carried on a small business by
dealing in fine laces and such goods as la
dies are fond Of to decorate their persons
His stock was composed Of rather costly
articles, which he would occasionally dis
pose of by sample. Being unable to speak
English, he was compelled to have the ser
vices of one or two assistants. One of
these, L. Chauffemer, had his entire conf
dence; everything was trusted to him, and
consequently he handled many hundreds of
dollars. Warm weather coming on, Mr.
Chariot was induced by the confdante to
Seek recreation at watering place. He
went to Vaudeville, and while absent Mr..
Chauifemer gathered up everything and de-
'camped. The stock of goods was valued
at five thousand dollars, embracing some
rich diamond iewelry; there were also tf-
teen hundred dollars in currency. The abb
sconder had laid his plans well, and circum-
stances show that he must have contem-
plated the deed months ago, having laid
plans to consummate the villainy. 1t is not
known where the accused has gone or what
course he took on leaving. His plans we're
probably so well arranged that he will es-
cape arrest.

Mr.. Mathews, of Iberville, was glad to
support the resolutions, and thought that
soon, after making few speeches, he would
be a power in mis- parish, when he would
tell many things that were not now IN
derstOOd.
Mr.. Moses Greenwood regretted that
foreign subjects had been introduced into
this convention. There is no power in Lou

any great extent, Notwithstanding threats
made
This speaker went off rather wild, and it
became necessary for Mr.. Burke, Of Or
leans, to correct him.
The convention then adopted the resolu-
tons, and adjourned until to-day.
The resolutions read as follows:
ResolCed, That in the opinion of this con-
vention, the attitude originally assumed by
the Reform party of strict non-interference
with federal politics is the true and correct
policy.
ReSolced, That the situation of our State
at this time is such as to demand, in our
opinion, the most earnest and exclusive
attention of her people, and that while we
appreciate the importance of a good federal
government, and are anxious to see our
national affairs properly administered, such
are the peculiar difficulties by which, as a

necessity for immediate relief, that it
would be extremely unsafe to add to our
embarrassments those necessarily entailed
by an active participation in the national
contest.
ReSOIccd, That in the judgment of this
convention no permanent or enduring re-
lief can be obtained without cordial re-
Cancellation between the two races inhablt-
ing our territory, and for this reason, as
well as for a sense of justice to the colored
race, who are now entitled TO all the privi-
Ieges and immunities of American citizens
we accept as settled their civil and political
status as now fixed by the constitution and
laws, both of the United States and of
Louisiana.
Res0lced, That as one Of the primal objects
of this organization was the eradication
Of mere partisan differences, 10y which our
people have been divided, and the inculca-
ton Of broad, catholic spirit Of liberation,
by which means it has hoped and intended
that the strength of our population should
be concentrated for the redemption of the
State, it is now declared to be the policy Of
this party 10 receive assistance from any
source looking TO the delverance of our
people from the dreadful oppression under
which they labor, while at the same time
it is distinctly understood that we will re-
ject any unworthy proposition or corrupt
coalition, and that the administration of
our affairs for the future must be cOnfded
to men of known integrity and capacity.

Steamers for Watering PIaces-OppOsition
TO the Railroad.

In consequence Of the delays by the man
agement of the Mobile railroad in reducing
fares to the watering places, and to accom-
MEDIATE that class Of our people who prefer
trip by water a movement has been in
augurated by competent and reliable gen
tlemen to place steamers on Lake Pontchar-
train, between New Orleans and prominent
watering places.
Capital and capacity are or will be
brought into immediate requisition, and
staunch vessels will be procured for the
trade, such steamers as in former times
gave our citizens satisfaction.
There is an element in this city that
greatly prefers trip by water, and who
will not visit a watering place if compelled
to travel by rail. These persons are de-
cided in advocating lake voyage, and will
unhesitatingly give constant patronage to
a steamer. From first to last they have
praised the water route, and 1t is true that
their arguments possessed weight, viewing
them from a pleasure standpoint. They ex-
ultingly pointed to the high rates Of fare
on the railroad, and with supreme satisfac-
ton exclaimed, II told you so Y
This class Of citizens is composed Of such
as can not be ignored or put off with
promises, for their demands, equal to
necessity, must take shape.
Those who understand the situation are
hard at work, and may to-day perfect their
arrangements. AL that capital and perse-
verance can do will be done to prove that
competition is the life of trade,

''Pro Patria.' This most celebrated country

the author, and One-may be twO-nOt con-
nected directly or indirectly, perhaps, with
the Picayltne. Surely the REPUBLICAN did
not refer the term 'quackery" 10 the dis
tinguished editor of the Picay1spe, DR.. Y. 0.
King, one of the most capable, honest and
available" Of the whole list Why, that
would make the eminent Doctor, the author
Of the article, synonymous with "Pro
Patria" and the nominator of himself
That's cruel No, no; that's a mistake.
Some country gentleman wrote that com
munication who was deeply concerned in
the gubernatOrial nomination of a most
capable, honest and available" candidate,
and Dr. V. 0. King, the well-known states
man and most sagacious editor of the Plea
yas,ae, was included by "Pro "Patria" in the

City Hall, june / 1872. !
UNAXPAYERS ARE REMINDED THAT THE TINE
L is fast passing away in which they can pay
city taxes without heavy costs.
1t is perhaps not generally known that the mere
register Of bills in the Office Of the Recorder Of
Mortgages constitutes lien upon all the deln-
quents property, and no transfer can be made
until the bill is paid with all the costs.
Taxes may now be paid as follows: 20 in
cash, IS IN five.eghths return tax, certificates
Of appropriation, school certificates or metropolitan
police warrants.
The extraordinary discount at which these obi
cations can be bought goes far 20 neutralize the
Just complaint Of heavy taxes, while the purpose
for which the cash is required, viz: to pay the in
terest on the bonded debt, appeals to the patriot
ism Of every citizen who desires to redeem city
from its embarrassments, which can not be done
unless the credit Of its bonds is preserved.

"AHorHER COOP MAN GONE. "-Wednes-

of young ladies and gentlemen in private
dwelling near the corner of PTytaDia and
st. Andrew streets, assembled to witness
the departure, the taking off Of Mr.. L. L.

went Miss Ada Stratton, who is one of the

ticular friends, they we're joined in the
bonds of wedlOck at the residence of the
bridee parents. 1t was difficult to tell who
was the happiest, the guests, the bride and
groom or the relatives. At late hour the
party gradually dissolved, when the twain
that were made one rode off for their new
home.
