Of their friends, for Baton Rouge

Nothing particular occurred OF

Marcella with the Customhous<
Convention on board. she took The

Of Charley Jaeger playing "Shoc

was. excited, and prognosticators
took it as an indication Of what that
crowd would eventually do. w
arrived in Baton Rouge at noon on
Tuesday, and Immediately there
was a rush ashore to secure accom-
modations.
The levee was crowded with spec
tators and some enthusiastic Re
publican commenced firing minute
guns from q piece Of artillery post
ed opposite the Hodge.
# soon became evident that at
traction was conferred somewhere,
and the repeated enquiry, (which
Is Pinchback?" showed that the
Lieutenant Governor absorbed more
than the balance of the
Convention. Hearty greetings were
exchanged with friends, and the
bulk hurried of.
The Band also came off the boat,
and went through several streets
playing q few lively airs.
The day was passed in speoula-
on all sides as to the result of
The efforts at harmony"

WHAT GEN. BANKS SAW.

Gen. Banks, since the Maine election, may
not exactly see stars in the ay-time, but he
retains equally astonishing recollections of
what he saw during the canvass in that State,
as he tells his discouraged hearers at Worces-
ter. He saw the Republican party in Its full
development of energy, organization and pow
era power" he says, "organized with ex.
actnsss and hurled with precision As has moi
been common to organizations of men," W.
have no doubt Of il; the Maine election re.
turns show 1t. The Republicans Of that state
went into the contest to win by all honorable
means, and, to Gen. Banks great surprise
he having fallen into an hallucination in re-
gard to the all-conq uering prestige of the
Greeley movement-they did 1t. But how
does the Generals account agree with Dr.
areeley'' Pathetic description of "decayins
organization" with its drill sergeants -four
ishing their truncheons in despair because
they cannot keep the files straight and close !?
In the conflict Of testimony between Banks
and Greeley, we rather think Banks is right.

A Toledo, Ohio, democrat was early on the
street the morning after the Maine election
attempting to hedge. He was offering to bet
that Greeley wonld carry Delaware. But
when an O'Conor democrat offered to take
the bet in the event Of O'Conor's acceptance
of the Louisville nomination, be backed
down, thoroughly demoralized. >e
Senator Spencer Of Alabama, writes on the
Path ult. ''We have opened the campaign,
and we shall carry Alabama by at least l0, 900
majority. You never saw sicker set of peo-
pie than the Greeley republicans are. We
are going to have an active and exciting can
vass, and shall fight all our men and have no
reserves"
The Chicago Times, the leading democratic
paper Of the West, says that "the returns
from Maine are quite sufficient to indicate
the result, and the result is quite sufficient to
indicate that the Greeley business is the most
absurd and contemplate fasco in the history
of American politics"
A prominent New York democrat-an en-
thusiastic Greeley advocate-has declared
within q week that the change against Gree
ley during the last thirty days is something
unparalleled in politics. Leading Greeley re-
publican's admit that the Democratic State
nominations are fatal to him in New York;
while the democrats begin to feel as Esau
might have done if Jacob had failed to deliver
the mess of pottage.
