o'clock while the residence and
neighborhood Of Lieutenant Cover.

with the enthusiastic congratula-
tons of friends, who on the occa-
sion of luis nomination for Cover

while the majority of the other can

exchanging civilities with their
friends, the stirring music of
Charley Jaeger's Silver Cornet Band
broke upon the ear, ind "nearer

suddenly it died away. The cessa-

mediately some of Jaeger's sweetest
strains we're sent out. It was not
long before the street in front Of
the house was crammsd with ::oo-
pie, who during every internission
sent up enthusiastic cheers
for "Pinchback." The doors
OF the Lieutenant Governors
residence were thrown open and his
visitors invited to partake Of his
cheering hospitalities. Not content
with this, speeches were demanded,
and the Lieutenant Governor, and
Senator A. B. Harris, the nominees
for the first and second Offices, and
Senator Butler, Of Plaquemines,
for Congress suitably and
ably responded to the calls.
The vein OF fixed resolution which
pervaded and characterized all they
said was certainly calculated to re-
move any impression that the can.

THE WINNING TICKET.
FOR GOVERNOR

As we go to press, the infor!na,
ton reaches us, that the Republican
State Convention which assembled
at New Orleans on the ninth inst.
has nominated q straight Repub:
lican ticket, headed by Hon. T. B;
s. Pinchback for Governor, and
Hon. A. B. Harris; for Lieutenant
Governor. Our informant being
unable to give the names Of the
other nominees Of the Convention,
we can not furnish our readers with
that gratifying intelligence before
our next issues of The News. But
we are authorized to announce, that
our valued friend, Hon. P. @. Des-
londe, was honored with the nom
nation for the State Senate, from
this district.
Until we learn all the facts, and
can speak anthoritatiyely, We can
not. fully express the views which
influence orr adoption Of this ticket.
With yPinchback and Harris at the
head of the column. firing their Gu
thusiastic followers with their burn

Sermon by Rev. DIR. wild on Business
and ReliGion-similitude Between
Bcccher and A. II. Stewart.
The Rev. DR.. Wild preached q forcible sermon
yesterday morning, selecting his text from Ro-
mans, xii, 11-"Not slothful In business; fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord" Christianity, said the
speaker seeks to legislate for man in all the busi-
ness and intercourse Of life, and not even forego-
ing her claims in death. When properly under
stood the Gospel does not connict with the truest
interests OF society. The spirit and design OF the
same are compatible with mans highest good, his
safety and his peace for time and eternity.
In our social, educational commercial, political
and moral relations and duties she asks practical
recognition. The success OF the Gospel through
Pauls labors among the Romans In the high places
and palaces OF the Empire gave him o fine chance
to address them by letter. They were at this time
great people-a Mixed learned and busy ma
tion. Their success, their wealth and power ex-
posed them to peculiar temptations. Hence in this
epistle he seeks to instruct them by pointing out
the natural sinfulness OF man and the competence
OF the Gospel; the oneness Of their origin. though
mixed people, for out OF one blood God had made
all nations OF men. Because Of this they had COM
mon duties and relations and common salvation.
He presents to their notice high-toned moranty,

duties.
