Louisiana Politics. ...:
- On Tuesday the Republican Conven-
tion under the auspices of Pinchback, passed
a resolution endorsing the National Republi-
can platform adopted at Philadelphia, and
pledged their support to Grant and Wilson.
After agreeing to nominate full State tick
ct, a resolution was adopted authorizing the
State Central Committee to make such change
on the State ticket as may tend to suit the
Republicans of the State in one ticket said
authority to extend to October 1st Pinch
back is nominated for Governor with full
State ticket. Nothing was accomplished by
any committee regarding fusion. The Camp
bell boilers from the Pinchback Convention
adopted resolution endorsing Greeley and
Brown and the Liberal State nominations;
also authorized the formation of an Execu-
tive Committee auxiliary to the Liberal Com
mittee, after which they adjourned sine die.
The candidate for Governor Of the Liberal
Republican party is D. B. Penn, native of
Lynchburg, Va, who served in the Confede-
rate army as Major of the Seventh Louisiana
regiment. Since the close of the war he has
been engaged in mercantile pursuits in New
Orleans and sugar and cotton planting in va
rious parts of Louisiana.
ga Model Sheriff." ,9;
In one of our North Carolina exchan-
ges, we find the subjoined complimentary par
agraphin relation to our former fellow-citizen
Mr.. E. Peyton Moore, who is the Sheriff Of
Burke county, North Carolina. 1t is quite
gratifying to know that MI. Moore is so high
ly esteemed by those amongst whom he has
cast his lot:
E.. P. Moore took charge of the Sherif's Of
tice on the 1st of October, 1871, and on Monday
last (July 1st) he settled in full with the
County Commissioners. He was charged on
the tax list with $23, 3,955.90, and has accounted
for $24,063.32, over paid S1O6,42. In nine
months he has collected and paid over three
times the largest tax ever collected in our
county. This is proof positive as to what can
be done by an honest and efficient officer. SO
much for Conservatism. On the other hand,
j. T. Patterson, the present Republican can
didate for the Legislature, was the Sheriff two
years ago, and up to this time has failed to
settle up with the Commissioners, and it will
be question of time II he ever settles, and
still he is before the people asking for office.
We say long may E. P. Moore be Sheriff of
our county.
Summers Movements.
- Senator Sumner left Washington few
days ago for his home in Massachusetts,. He
stopped in New York on Monday night, and
was interviewed by number of reporters.
The Herald reporter gives the following &C.
count of his interview with the New England
statesman:
He looks pale and somewhat worn after
the laborious work of the session, but preserves
a confident and cheerful air. He was dressed
with his usual neatness, in suit of gray Eng
lish tweed, evidently the work Of London
tailor, for Notwithstanding the heated speech
es the Senator has made in Congress on the
Alabama claims he is known to be a strong
admirer of the manners and customs OF our
cousins over the water, his accent making you
believe that you are addressing full-blown
Brtisher. In reference to a question as to
whether any reply was to be made to the let
ter of William Lloyd Garrison, he replied as
follows:
T have not even read the letter of Mr..
Garrison. love and honor and respect him
too much to read his letter and attack upon
me. do not intend to take notice of it in
any way, and all reports to the contrary are
utterly false" :,
"What effect has your letter to the colored
people had, speaking from personal knowl-
edges,??" >, , .. ,,,, hono ron,.;ned IN
Washington since its publication, and have
not extended means of knowing; but have
received assurances Of continued esteem from
most of the colored men'in the capital"
"Mr. Sumner, what do you think of the
chances of Mr.. Greeley?"
~ would rather not talk about that. What
do you think yourself?"
As the reporter did not wish to be inter-
viewed, he merely answered that the prospect
was very good in this city.
Mr.. Sumner: "Ah! But this city will not
be sufficient to elect him. There must be
considerable work done. The prospects seem
to be very good but would rather not say
anything at the present time about the cam
paign. l am rather free horse at communi-
eating, but have really nothing to commu-
nicate at the present time"
"Do you propose to sake any part in the
campaign?
"i do not know I am now on my way to
Boston, from which I have been absent sever
al months. 1 will spend some time there and
afterwards 90 to Nahant to visit my old friend
Mr.. Longfellow. I shall stay with him and
recuperate. After that it is impossible to say
what my plans will be; I may possibly speak,
and may not"
