On Friday the resolution debating
terms of compromise to the Pinch
back Convention was adopted, and a
COMMITTEES of conference appointed
nearly every member of which was
known to be opposed to any fusion of
the two Conventions. When the an
swer from the Pinchback Convention,
Indignantly rejecting the terms pro-
posed but still declaring its readiness
to entertain honorable proposals of
unison was received, it was tabled,
and the committee of conference dis
charged. The kellogg wing were
afraid to let the Pinchback element
in their Convention for they knew it
would become the controlling power
and defeat their nicely laid plans for
nominating the Illinois carpet-bagger
for Governor.
At an early hour last evening the
Packard mob adjourned to meet to-
day, when the nomination of ticket
will probably be proceeded with.
Z. C. Billings and Aristide Mary,
both of Orleans, and the latter Il col
ored man, are working with might
and main to defeat the Kellogg COM
bination, and it is not unlikely some
riotous scenes will be enacted at
Pixies Hall to-day. President Ingra-
ham, who is i'll the Kellogg interest,
was detected in changing names upon
the roll of the convention yesterday,
and a determined effort will be made
to-day by the friends of Billings and
Mary to Gust him from the chair. They
declare. if they do not receive fair
play they will bolt the convention
and some of the more ot-headed even
threaten that blood will be spilled if
foul practice is INDUCED in.
With the situation bearing this in
teresting aspect, we shall be anxious
to hear more news from Baton Rouge.
Such men as Carter, Sheldon, Stella
Martin and others are disguised with
the manner i'll which the Packard
Kellogg ring are controlling the Con-
vention, and even President Ingraham
said upon the streets that he was sor-
ry he ever took part in the affair at
all.

Honest Governments.
From the Attakapas Register.]

From the Attakapas Register.]
There are times when allegiance to
party must give way to higher and
nobler ties, namely, the duty we owe
to society and the State. At such
times men must be lost sight of, bick-
eIing must cease, and citizens should
meet as citizens upon common foot
ing for the public welfare. We hold
that in the State of Louisiana to-day,
there exists the necessity for such
conduct on the part of every voter OF
every shade or party. We battled
earnestly for the supremacy of Repub-
lican principles and Republican meas
ures, but not once have we dreamed
ofslielding dishonesty and corruption;
and it cannot be denied that Repub-
lican agents have betrayed their trusts,
stained their parity and rendered
themselves despicable in the eyes OF
all honest men.
Laws oppressive and scandalous arc
to-day bearing with heavy weight
upon the people. Taxation is almost
unendurable There must be relief
There must be a publication i'll al
departments of government. Dis
honest officials must be given then
tickets of-leave These are patent
facts, and there are not twelve intel
ligent men who are not aware Of
them.
How can these results be accom-
plished BY UNION. Not by q
Union of the Republican party, fol
that would only result in the restora-
ton of the +" rings which have con-
trolled the government for the past
four years. Not by union of the
Democratic party, for that would
bring to the surface the fossilized re-
mains of the past, its sorrows, its pre-
JUDGES, and would inevitably result
i'll the same old story of defeat. But
by q union of citizens, joining hands
across the gulf which has heretofore
divided them the broad gulf which
war and slavery made-and with the
spirit of peace, a harmony of purpose,
burial of the past, looking only te
the future, in one great citizens party
sweep corruption from high places
and restore the rule of intelligence
and common honesty.
In the advocacy of this policy the
Register stands committed to-day
1t was the policy adopted at Cincin-
natl, and is the key to prosperity i'll
every section of the Union.

HARPER's PERIODICALS
HARpER'S MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys Of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro
found to demand the attention of the learn.
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
ditfuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be ii it
was the organ of the ssSeeiety for the Diffu-
sion of Useful Knowledge
The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement Ia
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no IqOnthly magazine that an IN
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
elly more popular magazine in the world

A Case of True Love.

From the st. Joseph (AIo.l Heraldl
Yesterday in one of the Catholic
churches in this city there was eele-
brated marriage in which John
Hoffman and Catherine Metz were
made one. There is not much in the
SIMPLE announcement, yet, thereby
hangs a tale, which we give our read
ers as it was told to us BY a friend of
the bridegroom. During the war be-
tween Prussia and France Hoffman
was one of those who was in duty
bound to render service to his coun-
Try. lie was engaged TO be married
to girl named Catherine Metz. and
not liking the idea of exposing his
valuable person to the bullets of the
Frenchmen, he conceived the plan of
emgratlng to Il country where he
need not become a bold soldier unless
he wished. But then a little pecuni-
airy difficulty presented itself. He
hadn't the means to pay his passage
out OF the country, and in his extrem-
ity he applied to his taacee. She had
with an eye to some day keepipo y
house for Hoffman, saved up her wa-
ges, and fortunately had in her posses
sion at that time about $4,000. This
she freely gave her lover, and he badc
her farewell and secured passage for
America.
Gradually he worked his way to
this city, but fortune, which lie court
ed so sedulously, never smiled ON him
and he began to despair of ever bein9
able to send for his :" Dolly Warden
or of returning to consummate tbe
VOWS he had spoken. He wrote to
this effect, and on last Saturday was
agreeably surprised by receiving q
telegram from her, dated in New
York, informing him of her arrival
there and her intention to Immediate
~ come to st. Joseph.
She arrived here yesterday morn
ing, and ere noon the happy connie
were made one. She has paid her
own way from the old country. and
besides brings enough money with
her to buy the necessary furniture to
begin housekeeping. Such devotion
ought to meet with its reward. and
we hope the newly married couple
may never regret their action.

The New York World, probably
the most influential Democratic pa

candidates by the Democracy, says
that if Greeley is nominated at the
Baltimore Convention there will be
no bolt, but the Democrats will give
them their united support.

We acknowledge having received

1t is said that President Grant, after
demanding the resignation of Collec-
tor Casey, has refused to accept the
same, giving his reason for this re-
fusal to he that he has received nu-
merous testimonials of Casey's eff
cheney, honesty etc, etc, from va
rions political and commercial citi-
zens of New Orleans. We regard
this action of Gen. Grants as the mere
elimination of a pre-arranged pro-
grs NM.

A correspondent of the Bossier
Banner thinks the reason the ticket
nominated by the recent Democratic
State Convention has failed to arouse
the enthusiasm OF secure the support
of the people of the State, or any re
spectacle number of. them, is because
his favorite candidate was not placed
at the head Of it. 1t is not the can
lidates alone that spoil the ticket,
but the entire absence of principle
from the movement which placed
them before the people,

speaking of the stewardship of the

says: 1.-THE Third Congressional
District is well satisfied with its rep
lesentative, and we surmise that he
will be gratefully remembered The
people of the Third District will be
well satisfied to get rid of their pres

him as man who did as little to earn
his per diem as any member of the
national Congress.
