We take the following from tie
Louisiana State Register:
GA great many very small men are
]og-rolling around among the colored
people at present for the purpose of
securing Offices. All these little fell
lows are brim full of Grant because
they think that is the way to catch

game with considerable interest, and
there are great many people who
are doing the same thing. If the
colored people will sell out this time
they will have bad show hereafter.
The upper and lower mill stones are
grinding mighty close together, and
the weakest vii! go to the hopper

and straightforward President than
to have a man who will do wrong, as
Grant has done, for his own advan-

Grant will protect only his friends; +;

"Well, Governor, now that the

Z" I have not" he answered, any

am sure that the ticket nominated
yesterday will be elected"
What do you think Of the plat
form p
"The platform is wholly satisfac-
tory to me, and I do not see how
any good citizen can object to it,
whether he be in the North or in the
South, the East or West. There are
factions which may affect to dislike
it. Many would have II stronger free
trade plank, and many others, equal

protection theory. All can not be
satisfied. The aim should be to sat
isfy the greatest number
"Theu you think the elements OF
success aye with you ?"
Yes, I have been assured, and !
believe that New York and Penn

NEW SERIES--V |. NO. 26,
ALI for Horace.
By GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND.

F,nm the Washington Capital1
| IT'S honest Horace Greeley
| With his obi white coat and staff
The politicians laugh in fear,
In Joy the people langh
A laugh comes o Ter the Padly's face,
And DER the ncgro's mouth,
And first, since all these bloody years,
Laughs, too, the wounded South
With laughter like to summer,
"Let us have peace" indeed,
And not the frosty soldier peace.
Whose words broken reed,
But with this grand old neighbours rule,
And times Of golden law,
Old latreds shall he turned to loves
And laughter to huzza.
The camp fires burn for Greeley
But not on tiel,ls of arms
They burn thinking cotters' hcarths,
And winl. from prairie farms,
Where good old couples rub their
lpalms,
And say "Prsisc God it's SO!
Since ruled SO long by men who kill
70 vote for one we know"
Put by thy lamp, friend Horace
Thy kindly, busy quill,
When we have male thee President
Then shalt thou have thy will,
For thirty years of earnest work
Deserve rulers wish,
That when he secs the country safe
He'd like to so and fish,"
Ah better had these captains,
Who laugh to their dismay,
Said half the wise things in their reign
Thou slyest every Cay
And hotter had they tished like thee,
Or f.rmed as bad, dear sage,
Than tisled for rich mems company,
And farmed out patronage!
Some wise men fear thy kindness,
Thy crotchsts sonlu distress /;
Some fear thy sturdy temperance,
And some thy simple dress.
These only feel their private wish,
Whom they good Greeley scan,
But all the mighty people feel
An ealnest fellow man
Stand mp and shout, ye langhers!
The laughing sun comes out;
Together let the Northern Yank
And Southern Johnny shont
For Brown and Greeley break the
might,
And lead the era in,
They'll teach us how to laugh and farm,
Well teach them how to win

+" How about Missouri ?"

Well, sir, the State that elected
me SO handsomely as Governor,
against the efforts Of this admins
tration, will, I an vain enough to
believe double, and evon treble, the
majority for me for the Vice-Prcsi-
dency."
But how about the German vote,
Governor / hear that the new
ticket will be bolted by the Germans,
especially in the Northwest. Docs
not Senator Schurz say SO p
AS regards the German, vote, l
have no fear Of it's body. In Mis-
souri, it is great and good power,
and I am sure our ticket will re-
ceive it. AS for Schulz, lie will sup
port the nominations with great
earnestness. He preferred another
ticket, but he tan be relied on. l
talked with him last night, and / am
satisfied with his position. You will
see where he stands in q very short
time"
"Do you. intend to go into the
canvass actiyely? Do you intend
to take the stump ?"
That can not be determined yet.

PE4NDLk'1DN'S POSITION,

We copy the following official dis
patch from the st. Louis Republican ::
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-A positive
declaration Of the position OF Hen.
George FL. Pendleton has been re-
ported by a member of the Illinois
Democratic delegation, and it can
be stated that he unquivocally advo-
Gates the acceptance of Mr.. Greeley
by the Democratic convention. Mr..
Pendlcton considers that the Demo-
cratic party has been placed i'll Il po-
sition, by tacit adherence to the Gin
cinnati convention, whereby all
chance of electing q Democratic
ticket has been destroyed. He,
therefore, favors the acceptance of
Greeley, and says that between
Grant and Greeley there can be no
hesitation as to the duty Of Demo-
Gratis. In considering the objections
raised to Greeley as to his record,
he argnes that they are ridiculous,
anu llc 0ohS NuSCICI LuC 6ttIllc OO-
lection will apply to all Radicals
named at Cincinnati
It is not the past which is to be
taken into account, but the future
conduct of the candidate designated
to represent the Liberal movement.
II any unobiectionable record is de-
sired, a str1ight-out Democrat should
have been advocated from the be-
ginning but, he says, it is not con
sistent to indorse one Radical and
refuse to support another. The op-
position to Greeley is placed, he
says, in two classes First, those
who are not sufficiently clear i'll po-
litical sagacity to see ta.t there is
no chance for q Democrat, and Sec
ond, those who secretly desire the
reelection of Grant. The feeling of
the times, adds Mr.. Pendleton,
should be above personality, and Ill
should strike to secure a good and
efficient government. The letter
from Mr.. Pendleton, though not in
tended for print, is forcib!e one.

Substantial Results Already
Gained Through Cincinnati.

Substantial Results Already
Gained ThrOuss, Cincinnati.
From the n. Y. Exprcss.]
We owe to the Liberal Convention
already more substantial results.
First, in an Amnesty bill more lib
eral than any and all together which
have passed since the close of the
civil war--an act, indeed, for which,
as Americans, and with no other
direct interest in the question, we
feel most grateful, and in regard to
which the only regret VIC have is
that it is not as complete as the full
franchise to the most ignorant class
OF the Southern people. Mr.. Gree
ley, who started for entire amnesty
months since, has right to be
gratitied with this result. It was a
tribute to the Cincinnati Convention
and to Mr.. Greeley us the candidate
of the Liberia! party. It is also nota-
bic that the Grant men Of this State,
after denounciny Mr.. Greeley for Lis
bail bond in behalf of Jefferson Davis,
placed as their chief delegate to the
Philadelphia Convention the name
Of Gerrit Smith, whose signature will
be found to the same bail bond, ant!
for a like amount. Everywhere, just
row, the Grant men are womng the
cold rebels OF the South. i'll order
TO secure support at their hands.

thing, Grant has "gone back on the

The Custom House Nominal
ton.

This body which met at Baton
Rouge on the 10Th inst, after rather
stormy session, nominated, as was
generally predicted they would do,
Mr.. William Pitt kellogg one Of the U.
8 Senators for Louisiana, az their
candidate for Governor, and Mr.. G. G..
Antoine, State Senator from Caddo,
for Lieutenant Governor. Of Mr..
Kellog's course as Senator from Louis
lana, we suppose most of our readers
interested at all in politics have al
ready doomed an opinoin. He has ex-
erted himself to procure the passage
of acts coming under the internal i'm
provement class, which will consider
ably benefit portions of the State, but
Ills principal notoriety arises from his
fundamentally in procuring the ap-
plication of the Enforcement act to the
coming fall elections in Louisiana.
What sort of a Governor he would
make if elected, will probably never
be known, as it is understood he is in
that case Immediately after inaugera-
ton to be elected by the Legislature
to succeed himself in his present posi-.
ton, and his Gubernatorial mantle is
to fall upon Mr.. G. G. Antoine, the
colored Lieut.. Governor, man Of ex-
tIemely ordinary capacity, who &C.
quired his position in his clique by
supporting it in the Legislative fracas
last winter, and who was one of the
Wilderness Senators, whose migra
tons we're 80 universally commented
on.
1t is difficult, if not impossible to
predict at present, which corner the
discounted Pinchback wing
of the party will take, but one course
seems to US as open to them, with any
prospect Of success, whether they will
take it or not remains to be seen.

to be allowed sufficient time to make
judicious selections, it was determined
that the names of such as he might

according to previous notice to that

of two or three of the old citizens of
the parish, whose appearance gave a
prestige to- the movement, young men,
men of enterprise and action, exactly
such as We said some time ago, would
when the proper time came, take the
matter into their own bands, and let
their voices be heard in thunder tones
regarding it. The action of the white
electors of this parish is or will be, as

the action of those of all the parishes,
