to abide by the decision of the Convcn-
ton.
Tho third ground of their opposition
to the majority report, which was as
follows:
"3. That the minority were opposed
to the committee presenting ticket to
the Convention, and in view of the
complications which had risen, were in
favor of remitting the nominations to
the Conventions themselves"
Was undoubtedly the chief cause of the
rejection of the ticket submitted by the
committee.
They, in common with all the other
now bolting delegates, participated in
the subsequent action of the Conven-
ton.
They arc bound by that action in so
far as men of honor arc usually bound,
i. e., to uphold and defend the will of
the tribunal, fairly expressed, to whose
arbitration they have submitted their
views and claims.
Instead, however, of defending before
their constituents, their own deliberate
and we'll considered action, they have
in many cases denounced that action as
the work of others, and have sought to
organize at home, a dissatisfaction and
division which, if persisted in, may re-
suit in our common defeat and ruin.
Delegates who sustain the action of
the Convention, to whose will they
submitted themselves, are denounced
as "Bourbons" and s'last ditchers," :"
while those who repudiate their own
action arc cxtoI1cd rs statesmen and
patriots.
If this.is to be the future course of
conventions, then were the Liberal
party of Rapides wise when in their
late meeting cover which Judge Man
ming presided,) they required their del
egates to the 5th Of August Convcn-
tion to pledge themselves to support
the nominations to be there made.

They viii Not Rntify.

Ever since the adjournment Of the
late Liberal Convention, the most ac-
tive and prominent politicians Of that
party have been industriousty canvass
ing the city, soliciting every person
to sign II call for II grand mass meeting,
to he held this {Saturtlay) evening, for
the purpose of ratifying the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. ID. B. Penn for Governor.
Their great cNrrtions have met witt,
such poor success that they have not
even published the call, and have CON
cludcd to defer the. meeting to some flu
turc day. Few, very few persons out
side of their State Central Committee
could be induced to sign this document,
although they all entertain II high re-
gard for Mr.. Penn personally. The Lib
cral movement has fallen stilI-bOrn to
the ground, and the Liberal nonlinu-
tions cNcit" no enthusiasm in this com
munity. The reform Democrats do
not circulate printed calls for mass
meetings. Every night they are hold
ing large meetings all over the city,
and their ranks are being constantly
reinforced by new recruits from the
Liberal party. TO our old friends who
are patriotirally srctnrning to their
first love-" VIC say, don't be back ward,
Gcntfcmcn; our platform il wide enough
for us all to stand upon, and we viii
greet you with II hearty welcome "

DR.. liutlcr'S Defense.

We are requested by DR.. G. q. Butler,
representative i'm the present Lcgsla-
turc from this parish, to say in reply
to the charge Of 6. II. Morrison, pub
lishcd in the Union Record, against
himself and others Of having received
Il bribc of ono thousand dollars for vOt-
ing in favor Of the I.cvCc Bill, that
the charge, so far as he is concerned,
is II malicious falsehood; that hc voted
for said bill, in common with every
other democrat in the House, and every
other member except one, not because
he was paid to- do SO, but bccaH9c it was
Il substitute for u worse bill, and which
would have passed ifthc substitute had
failed, and that they all concluded il
was better Of tho two evils, to choose
the least; that j. n. fturch is the only
member Ofthc House who voted against
the bill, and yet he is charged in Morri-
sons letter with getting It thousand
dollars to vote for it.-,Spnrtn Times.

THE LIBERAL CONVENTION.
Was it 4 Warnoth Move 2---Thc Proof
Thereof.

Editor Iamyipohoa Democrat:
The writer hereof, having been an
eyewitness of the scenes enacted in the
great farce Of the 9th of August, in the
Academy Of Music, in the city of New
Orleans, respectfully asks the privilege
of your columns for the purpose of in
| forming your readers Of the facts, and
the purposes Of the parties participating
| in its deliberations.
That it, from it, inripicncy, was
cotton up by the Governor, is beyond
doubt in proof whereof, see the Times
of April 24th, 1872, where Il meeting in
the anti-room of the Governors office,
| consisting of oilicc-holders of all grades,
amounting to two hundred in number,
when he was elected President, stated
"that they considered Governor War
moth as the great originator of the
party of Liberal Republicans"
! The New Orleans Republican of July
9th, 1872, in an article referring to dis
patches from Shreveport, says that
GOvcrnorWarmoth is to be the "Gubcr
Material nominee of the great Convcn-
| ton which is to be held in this city
next August" This is Governor War
moths organ and partly his property
certainly good authority.
The Convention did assemble on the
9th Of August, and what do we find :
On the fifth day the Governor is waited
on by u committee OF the Convention,
and introduced by the President, amid
the waving of handllcrchicGS, the clapp-
ing of hands and the tumultuouS APP
plausc of tho assembled delegates, the
brass band in the gallery, i'm the mean
time, playing "fiaii te the Chicf who
in triumph advanccs.'
N1,, Ii.
nomination OF Col. ID. Il. Penn, when
the Governor steps forward and relieves
the President Of that pleasing duty, en-
dorscs the nomination, and introduces
Penn as the next Governor OF Louisiana
Next, tho Convention endorses the
nomination, and II resolution is intro
duccd by great man from Itaptirs in
these words:
RcSotrcti, That approaching tho Sclf-abnc-
CATION, &c, we recommend Governor War
moth for the support OF tho Liberal party
who shall compose the next legislature, for
the position of L. S. Senator.
Can any evidence be stronger than
this?
That the Convention desired Il coali-
ton with the Democrats and Liberals
is exceedingly doubtful. We have the
evidence that they were not sincere, of
pinciback in his speech on Saturday
in the Republican Convention.
What can the rank and file of the
Democratic and Liberal parties think
of the participation in this Convention
of such gentlemen as a. S. Heron,
Judge Manning, Col. Levy, and others,
all of whom participated in the Demo-
cratic Convention in June, and some Of
them in the Baltimore Convention, as
sisted in making the nominations, now
turn their backs, and, for an excuse,
say that the nominations fell still born?
If so, whose fault is it? How can hon
orablc gentlemen dcnounce sian alliance
with infamy" in one breath and in the
next applaud the very author of all our
wrongs and insults? Verify, "consis-
tency is Il jcweP' sadly needed in the
present instance. OBSERVER.

One remarkable property OF this
figure jSaid to have been discov-

iip!icatIun table the pro'iact Of
nine comes to nine. Multiply by
wh;t2 you like and it gives the
same result. Begin with twice
nine: IS; add the djgits together,
and l and s make 9. Three times
nine are p and ? and Z make 9.
So it goes on, up to eleven times
nine, which gives 81. Very good;
add the digits, 9 and 9 arc Is, and
S and are 9. Going on to any
extent, it is Impossible TO get rid
OF the figure nine. Take a couple
Of instances a. random. Three
hundred and thirty-nine lines nine

they give 8. Five thousand and
seventy-one times nine are 45, ,639;
the sum Of these digits is p, and
2 and Z are 9. NJ. de Maivan

about this number, namely, that
