He inveigled us into his store, and until we crossed his threshold, we had no idea what ever of purchasing goods of him; had not supposed we were in need of them or any thing of the sort. We were happy in the thought of being we'll supplied with every thing, but, presto how quickly we ascer- taned how little we knew of what we didn't know. Those boots and those shoes, trunks, valises, bags, eUerytASng completely upset us in our complacency. We bought pair of boots and 8 pair of shoes, and if our credit was worth anything to him, he could have sold us anything and everything.
 When he bid us buy we bought and ton who go to West Winsted to buy goods; if you don't care to buy the best goods for the least money, keep away from Noble. If you get within rife shot of his store, he'll clap pair of boots on your feet quicker'n- a-wink.-One hour and ten minutes gone !; the Aoatr being gobbled up by that Noble boot man.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-03-23
Pushing the President.

A special dispatch to the St. Louis Times
is here reproduced:
WAsHINGTON, March lS.-The dimensions
which the liberal movement is assuming
throughout the country has thoroughly
frightened Grant and his adherents. With
view to stop the progress OF this cOntaglon,
an administration Senator will this week
introduce a bill of general amnesty, making
only two exceptions, these being Jefferson
Davis and Alexander II. Stephens. There
is no doubt but that Grant has been inter
viewing his senatorial adherents, with a
view to the prospects of his denomination,
and that it has been determined upon to
make show at least of granting general
amnesty to cOnciliate Southern sentiment,
which, just at present, even among the
negroes, is anything but friendly to Grant.
He has suddenly put on a very bold front,
and says he wants the success of the party
more than his own nomination. This means
that he thinks the thing is sure.
Advices have been received here to the
effect that all but three States will be re-
presented at the Cincinnati convention.
Undoubtedly every State will be represent
ed. but not all OF them by the best class of
men.
TrumbulIs hesitation to come out fiat
footed in favor of the bolt is weakening him
daily. and unless he makes haste to do SO
will impair his chances of the nomination
beyond the hope OF recovery. Brown seems
to be the growing man, but it is too early
vet to predict anything with certainty. One
thing is sure, that no twithstanding the noise
made over Davis by the Indiana and Hi
nois papers, his chances are waning per
ceptibly.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-03-23

We reproduce from the Washington Re-
publican a little gossip about Louisiana
politics and politicians, presuming that it is
nothing more or less than Washington Cos
sip:
Governor Warmoth, of Louisiana, is in
the city, but disclaims any political signifi
canoe as appertaining to his visit. Upon
his return to New Orleans, Colonel Pinch
back. the colored Lieutenant Governor Of
the State, and President If the Republican
State Committee will come to Washington
in the hope of obtaining executive support
in efforts to reunite the broken party, and
carry the State for the standard bearer of
the Philadelphia convention next November.
1t is known that Governor Warmoth fully
acknowledges the authority of the State
committee, and will in any and all events
abide by its action, but as it is claimed by
his friends that the conduct of the Federal
officials has forced him into state of Oppo-
sitiOn out Of regard to his official honor and
personal selfrespect, one of the objects OF
the Lieutenant Governors visit to the ex-
ecutive will be to effect, if possible, such
modification Of the party adhering to the
administration as will afford Warmoth fair
and honorable terms Of reconciliation;
Should this effort be successful there Will
be no strife within the Republican ranks IN
Louisiana when the election day arrives.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1872-03-23

There is paper called the D"nn Lc@dcr
published at Bayou Sara. The Feliclana
Republican says:
The Tail Lcader charges that Governor
Warmoth has appointed Thomas Butler,
Democrat, district judge to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Judge u: Mer-
rick Miller. Inasmuch as this HYBRID has
gone into labor about the appointment OF
Judge Butler, we viii enlighten the animal
and ease its pains.
Governor Warmoth appointed Mr.. Butler,
and the Customhouse Senators, with but one
exception. voted for his confirmation. The
vote on confirmation is as follows:
Yeas-Anderson, Antoine, Barber, Black
man. Bowman. Butler, Campbell, Coup
land. Daigle, Gallup, Herwig, Hunsaker,
Ingraham. jerks. Kelso. Lewis, Lynch,
Noland. OHara, Pinchback, Ray, McMillen,
Ragan, Smith, Swords, Sypher, Thomas,
Thompson. WilcoX-D.
Nays-Harris, Todd. Twitchell-3.
II will be seen by the above that ma
;ority lffteen) of the CustOmhouse Senators
Voted for confirmation aIrl only one against,
while but fourteen administration senators
voted yea, and two nay. SO 1t Is the Cus-
tomhouse party who confirmed Mr.. Butter.
Now dry up, or when you open your
truthful one.

s.. Louis After Arkansas Trade.

We copy the following from the st. Louis
Times for the information OF our supine
merchants:
We have been shown the prospectus OF
new line of boats to be placed IN Arkansas
and White rivers in the interest OF st.
Louis. and to connect at the mouth of those
rivers with our Southern packets running
from this city. There .are some very trlte
points touched upon in the prospectus,
prominent among which are the assertions
that our trade IN these rivers Is drawn
away by the lower freight rates from Yin,
cinnati and Louisville, and the economy OF
line run in connection with the Memphis
and St. Louis and other packet lines, IN
contrast with the course OF the line now
running direct from st. Louis. Steamboat
men differ about the latter point, but there
is no sort of question that competition IN
freights is the easiest known plan for rem
dering them cheap to the shippers, and we
therefore pronounce ourselves unreservedly
in favor Of larger transportation facilities
on those rivers, believing that largely IN
creased trade will and must be the result.
As to the fear that the new railroad con-
nectons to Little Rock and above, on the
Arkansas, can affect business, it is sus-
ceptible of proof that this will rather assist
than depress trade for such lines.
1t certainly behooves st. Louis to strike
with greater vigor for the Arkan sas trade,
in view of the effort now being made by
Memphis, and our Southern lines of packets,
We learn, will give every assistance to the
new project We may treat of this subject
again, but meanwhile the merchants should
be moving. The capital stock of the com
pany is to be 100000. Ten thousand dol
lars will be subscribed along the Arkansas
river and $4,000 is already placed here. If
there be the proper spirit among our mer-
chants, the balance will be taken up at
once and when the amount is made up,
four boats will be placed in the trade, with
a wharfboat at the mouth Of White river.
The prospectus says truly that such line
as above proposed, owned by the mercantile
interests of st. Louis, and conducted to
their advantage, under the executive man
agement and control Of parties perfectly ac-
.,nainted with boating and its necessities on
these rivers. would at once have local
trade that would be self-supporting.
The principal merchants and shippers OF
the Arkansas valley ask for such a line, and
guarantee that if it is put in the Arkansas
river as proposed, under the control of par
ties they know and have confidence in, to
unite in giving it their patronage and sup
port,
