THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION.

The straight-out Democratic Conven-
ton at Louisville bids fair to be a pow
er in the coming political strife, after
all. At first it was ridiculed by the
friends of Mr.. Greeley as Bourbon
side-show'' of no account whatever, and
one which nobody would pay their dime
to see while the great Ku-Klux cara
van was roaring beside it. But change
has come over the Tammany managers,
and they now begin to think that they
may be an affair of some Importance.
Having yainly attempted to neutralize
its anticipated effect by branding the
movement as deception of the Grant
enemy, they have now set their wits to
work to capture it, as they have all the
other 'little bolts,' from Cincinnati,
and make it subservient to the Greeley
cause.
The present scheme of the conspira-
|
fessed straight-out delegates to the con-
vention, who, at the proper moment,
| will introduce resolutions endorsing the
Baltimore ticket and try their best to
get an adjournment sine die. To carry
out this scheme successfully, private
and confidential circular was issued.
early in August, addressed to parties
that could be trusted, in which they
were urged to secure the appointment of
delegates to Louisville who, while really
in favor of Greeley, would profess to be
straight-out Democrats, and would labor
in the convention to suppress the. ele-
ments of discord in the Democratic
ranks, and prevent the nomination of a
third ticket. These circulars have been
sent to various parts of the country.
In Maryland and Virginia, they appear
to have met with favor, and the project
tors are encouraged to believe that there
will be bogus delegates enough sent t.
= carry out their plans. But the conspir
ators are playing a dangerous game
and when the counterfeit and the true
r anti Greeley men come to meet in coun
, Gil, hot work may be the result
!. AS a last resort, it is supposed tina
, if they fail thus 10 capture Louisville
d and it should put forth Charles O'Con
e nor as the straight-out candidate, tn
n Greeleyites, seeing the utter hopeless
n ness of electing their man, will take hin
k down, and adopt O'Connor in his place
r A feeler toward such change has al
a ready been thrown out, in the PROPOSE
6 tion of the coalitionists to put up O'Con
n nor as their candidate for Governor i
9 New York State Should this be done
d and Mr.. OConnor accept, the proceed
N ing would be strong indication tina
d the Philosopher is to be thrown ovel
re board, and the Louisville nominee adopt
l. ed in his place. This would indeed b
e. strange proceeding but not half s
IN preposterous as the nomination of Gret
IN ley by the Democrats. The public al
at quite prepared to see the opposition IT
d. sort to any expedient however dcsperat
a In the meantime the true conservative
ed of the Union will push on the colum
DIS under their gallant leader, and whe
is the day of battle comes will roll up
&C. victory worthy of themselves and tt
Tx country.

Az lie hepuDllcdH headquarters III
Washington, the advices from Mississip-
pi leave no doubt that the State will 90
for Grant. From Texas, Georgia and
Kentucky, letters received show wide
spread interest in those States in the
work of the Louisville convention. Es-
pecially in Kentucky and Georgia is
this feeling prevalent, and to some ex-
tent in Virginia.
The Greeley organs have few gen
tie words for the 'straight-outs." Here
is what one of them says: "Four genu-
inc Democrats have been engaged for the
Louisville straight-out side-show. Hen
ry A. Wise of Virginia will appear as
an acrobat, Brick Pomeroy of Wisconsin
will do the trapeze business, J. Proctor
Knott of Kentucky will act as clown,
and B. Duncan will be ringmaster.
Mr.. Charles O'Connor has declared
himself against Mr.. Greeley and in ia
vor Of a straight Democratic nomination.
This announcement, says the Albany
Evening Journal, is important for itself
and important for what it foreshadows
The name of Mr.. O'Connor carries grea,
weight with tens of thousands of Demo.
Gratis. and his declaration against Mr.
Greeley may well carry alarm into the
Greeley camp.
Mr. Greeley's friends complain at thu
plain language used by the Republican
press against their candidate and tn,
intrigues of his party. There is not al
editor or public speaker in the countr,
who has ever written or spoken one hal
so bitterly as has Horace Greeley from
first to last, orally and in the Tribune
He has exhausted vituperation, and on
has only to examine the past files of tn
Tribune to find editorial language touch
ing the individuals with whom MI
Greeley did not happen to agree, whic
few public journals in the United State
would permit in their columns.

From one Of the managers we learn that
great preparations are on foot for grand
gala night at Idlewild On Saturday evening
next. This is the most delightful and
unique place of outdoor amusement ever
inaugurated in our midst. The location is
but a short distance above Napoleon av-
enue, on st. Charles street, and embraces a
square of ground, filed with shrubbery and
trees. The Carrollton cars pass the grounds,
and short and pleasant ride from the city
brings you to the spot.
To those of onr readers who ride to Car
rollton on Saturday evenings, we would
say, stop, on your way back, at Idlewild,
and spend an evening Of choice and refined
amusement. The music and dancing, to-
gether with the laughable performances in
the pavilion, render it a scene of great at
traction for young and old while the num-
berless gas jets around the platform and
the grounds add brillianey to the festiyi-
ties. Inthis hot weather we need just such
a cool, open-air place of resort, away from
the dust and confusion of the city, yet easy
of access and highly respectable.
The attendance and encouragement Of
many of our best citizens has melted the
ladies and gentlemen to continue the, enter
tainments on Saturday evenings during the
summer. We fully and cordially indorse
their determination, and urge our read
ers-mothers, fathers, young men; young
ladies and children-to go on Saturday
evening. and, if they do SO, we are sure We
will receive their thanks. a

Colonel Lewis Zim, who owns and edits
the Franklin Sun, to the satisfaction Of all
the country round, has been appointed
parish Judge of Franklin by Governor
Warmoth, and gracefully chronicles the
fact in his own excellent journal. While
wishing our eonfrere all the pleasure and
profit be may reasonably expect from the
enjoyment of his new position, we can not
refrain from expressing a hope that the
Governor has not spoiled good editor to
make an Indifferent parish judge:
THE PARISH JUDGEsHIP.
An individual in whom we feel very
lively interest, commonly known as Colonel
Lewis Zim, has been appointed parish
iudge of the parish of Franklin, by his
Excellency Governor Warmoth. That the
appointment was unexpected Is certain, but
it ia SO high and honorable, to say nothing
of its merits in pecuniary point Of view,
that it has been accepted, and the long va
eancy is, therefore, row filed.
Upon a consultation of the members Of
the bar of Franklin, it was concluded to be
best not to disturb the present terms OF the
court, and hence there viii not be a regular
term Of the court heldtill the first Monday
in August.

will Of course entertain doubt. The kind
friends to whose favor and partiality we
are. indebted for it, be they whom they may,
will please accept our grateful and heart
felt thanks. The act on the part of Gov
ernor Warmeth is certainly an evidence
that he is imbued with more magnanimity
and less implaeability than be has had the
| credit Of possessing. If the Baltimore con
vention recommends Greeley and Brown

FEMALES IN THE Prize RING.-For two
or three years past certain lewd women Of.
the lower class, in the Second District,
have grown into great liking for the prize
ring, and their ideal is Jem Mace. No sooner
ia a Quarrel in full blast between two or
more Of these poor creatures then chal-
lenge, sometimes verbal, but usually writ
ten, is passed, and the matter kept as pri-
vate as possible up to the hour Of starting
for the bloody field In several instances
the challenge has resulted in tolerably
square fight, after the manner OF men
bruisers. They return from the ridge with
black eyes and bloody, swelled faces. The
last attempt OF these breezy women to in
dulge in q knock-down was interrupted by
\ Che principals meeting on the corner Of
AToulouse and Rampant streets, where they
disturbed the peace, for which they were
Arrested, both Julia Riddle and Liliie
Donovan. When before Recorder MAT
thur Yesterday, they were asked what they
lad to say for themselves, when Julia
temurely handed up note, which reads
thus, aud sounds warlike:
Miss JuLIA-When you get ready to
choose your sekonds and the hour to fite
and the place let me no, for I'm ready
Your mistress. LILLE DONOVAN.
The court not participating in such Skin
mlshing, and not feeling inclined to permit
dueling in any form, laid a heavy fine on
the befligerents, which, unpaid retains
them in that airy resort called the Parish
Prison.
Lille and Julia declare that everything
is wrong until THAT one great question is
settled as to which of the two can give the
most punishment and take the least.

praises from all who pay them visit
That Barnes Hotel is the best kept house

with such accommodations as they give,
the prices charged per month-sixty to
eighty dollars, according to rooms-aEe as
low as could reasonably be expected. Now,
as the price charged at Northern watering

those terms, the hberality Of the prOprietors

We learn this from the New York Mari
time Register:
Advices from Gabarus state that the
weather is favorable for operations con-
nected with the saving of the valuable
cargo of the wrecked steamer COncOrdia,
from New Orleans for Liverpool. A num-
Der of bales of cotton have been hooked up
by fishermen, giving them quite a good
haul Divers are working, also, under a
liberal contract, concluded on behalf Of the
underwriters on the cargo, through their
representative at Halifax from Liverpool,
and it is expected that large quantity of
cotton may yet be recovered. Captain
Sheridan, the experienced diver, was to
proceed, June %, to the wreck to join bis
comrades, who have been on the spot since
the time of the disaster. The steamer is a
complete wreck, and will probably be
offered for sale in a short time.
