This is said by the Chicago Tribune:
The irrepressible Butler is plotting
vigorously in Massachusetts. He at
tends Grant meetings with unfaltering
regularity, and manages to turn them
all into Qualifications of his own match
less virtues. He IS fond ofreminding
his auditors that the very men who
are now opposed to Grant were op-
posed to himself during the last gu
sbernatorial campaign. The inference
is plain. Grant men must be Butler
men. If the strabismic General fails
to succeed Wilson as Senator, he
wishes to succeed Washburn as Gov!
ernor. Accordingly, he is cracking
the party whip and soaring Southern
haters into support of Grant and But
Ter, master aud man.

At least fifty department clerks
have been detailed to serve at the
Capitol at Washington to frank and
address political documents. Among
those performing these duties are
about ten ladies and six or seven
colored clerks. One of the latter is

the name of Henry Wilson, U. S.

'The Greeley Record" as it is call

4 rich Methodist has made a dona-
tion to the Boston Theological Semi
nary for the erection of q building
suitable for married students and theil
families. The idea is admirable, pro.
vided married men are permitted to
study divinity in the seminary. This
is not allowed in some institutions. II
is generolly thought that a married
man has so much live divinity at home
that he will not pay proper attention

THE LIBERAL CONVENTION.

THE LIBERAL CONVENTION.
The Liberal State Convention now
in session in the city Of New Or
leans, can, and we hope will frame
stitch a ticket that may be accepted
by al the elements opposed to a
continuance Of the corrupt rule of
the past four years. But, it may
also, through the influence Of bad
men, wreck the hopes of people
and throw the government into the
hands Of a new aud by far more
dangerous set of cormorants. Yet
we hope that the bad men who may
have c,ept into that convention will
not be in such numbers as to choke
its honest expressions.
The people expect much from this
convention, perhaps more than one
political assembly is capable Of ac-
comp1isbipg when so many Of its
members have but lately doned the
armor Of Liberalism. We do not
say this in a spirit Of repro oacb,
though it is apparent that tue very
men who were the last to join the
party of progress are now the most
clamorous for Office. The party must
get along without those men who
have anchored their hopes upon it
thinking that with this party like
with defunct Democracy and Radi-
calism, all that was necessary to do
in order to secure the offices was to
make strong and loud professions as
they were wont 10 do in ante beltuna
days. A party SO young and COM
batting an enemy SO formidable as is
the case in the present contest can
not if it aims at success take up any
man whose record is on the side Of
corruption and misrule. There is a
greater object to be attained in the
selection Of a good ticket, then peo-
pie have any idea /; it is not the
availability OF the man, nor his record
as a'strong and constant advocate Of
the tenets Of our party which ought
to make him popular candidate
The people in their choice must look
to something far greater, they must
see that the men who are to lead the
party in this contest are honest
and upright. One party already in
this State has buried its hope Of
success by alliance with all that is
corrupt and disgraceful. Will the
Liberals heed this warning or will
they too plunge in the same abyss
Will they give the people candi-
dates for whom the masses irrespec-
tive Of color or past political opin-
ion, can vote? /? or will they simply
rehearse the play OF the Kellogg and
McEnery conventions
The gentlemen who proclaim with
loud acclamation their anxiety to save
the State must bear in mind that the
State can not be saved by making
]ong-winded spread-ea9le perora-
tons, but by pulling with one accord
towards the same object. They must,
if they mean to do all parties JUS
tice, bury their prejudices of cast and
color. They must not go to their
past political opponents with honey
on their tongue and gaul in their
breast. Nothing but honesty Of per-
son and purpose will win in this con.
test. The issues will be between one
party arrayed on the side OF justice
and the other one leaning towards
centralization. The people will soon
discern the difference and vote &c.
cordingly.

LETTER FROM BATON ROUGE.

LETTER FROM BATON ROUGE.
[From our own Correspondent
BATON ROUGE, August 5, 1872.
EDITOR REpCDL1cAN:-Since [ wrote
you my last letter we have heard Of
{: wars and rumors of wars among
the Radical toothache party in this
neck Of the woods. In fact, as near
as I can learn, from all the most re-
liable sources the Grant-Kelloggg con-
Germ is about on its last legs here
and the noise it makes resembles a
izzle more than anything else I
know OF.
A few nights since very large
number of the &c old ish' free color
ed people were expelled from the
Grant Clubs, as was also near1 y all
of the white men who belonged to
their clubs, for the reason that the
ante slace population could get no
Offices as long as the first mentioned
classes were among them.
These proceedings raised the dev-
| ills own trouble among them and
they are now at dag;gers points.
Since tue occurrence Of these trans
actions among the GRANTEES Greeley
clubs have received large accessions
Of both white and black.
Charles Summers letter fell like q
bomb" among the GRANTEES here.
First came Banks letter which Gre
ated a confusion among them and
then that of Charles Sumner threw
the whole line into demoralized
state of bewilderment such as no
commander could overcome even did
he resort to the most stringent mill
tary discipline.
I tell you Mr.. Editor, the Liberal
party is no myth in the land and he
who thinks so must be either very
stupid or deficient in an optic point
Of view. Greeley and Brown will be
elected, and Louisiana will be re-
deemed from the band of ignorance,
stupidity and corruption which has
bound and disgraced her for some
years past.
The Liberal triumph in North
Carolina is the very note to the gen
eral result in this campaign. Mark
the prediction.
This week has started ,in with
lovely weather-cool breezes fan the
brow, bright sun shine adds brillian-
cy to the glory and enchantment ol
this paradise like home. From the
country glad tidings drift in like the
chirping Of the sweep woodland
songsters that please the ear and
gladden. the heart with brighter
hopes for the family purse. Corn
will be abundant with q majority o1
the planters, cotton will do we'll pro-
yided the worms do not come in
numbers more numerous than now
and the cane is doing tolerable well.
A tolerable fair crop Of sugar may be
counted on in this parish notwith-
standing the great detriment done
stubble and seed cane by the hard
frosts of last winter.
