HARpER's BAZAAR.

Free from all political and sectarian discus.
sion devoted to fashion, pleasure. aud in
struetion, it is just the agreeable, eompan-
ionable, and interesting paper which every
mother and wife and sweetheart will require
every son, husband, and lover to bring home
with them every Saturday evening.gPhiia.
delphia Ledger.
This paper at the outset occupied place
not filled by any American periodical and
won for itselfa deserved popularity. 1t il
really the only illustrated chronicler Of fash
ions in the country. IFS supplements alone
are worth the subscription price of the paper.
While fully maintaining its position as a mir,
ror OF fashion, it also contains stories, poems,
brilliant essays, besides general and person,
al gossip. The publishers appear to have
spared no labor or expense necessary to make,
the Bazaar the most attractive journal that
can possibly be made.-BoStoa Saturday Ere,

Notwithstanding any misrepresen-
tations of the Leader to the contrary,
our opinion of Colonel Carter has un-
derwent no change since his repudia-
ton of the Kellogg-Antonie ticket and
of the federal officials who nominated
it. We have always regarded and of
ten spoken of him as one of the most
talented men in Louisiana, and though
We have denounced in severest terms
his revolutionary political course,
which was dictated alone by motives
of personal ambition and pursued re-
gardless of consequences to the pub
lie veal, yet we have never charged
him with stupidity or lack of brains.
Our estimate of Colonel Carter is and
ever has been since we have come to
know him, that he is an INSCRIPTIONS
and dangerous man, but the ablcst by
far that can be found among the
opponents of Governor Warmoth and
the friends of the State Administra-
ton.

Immediately upon reception of the
news of the action of the Baltimore
Convention in New Orleans, prepara-
lions were made for Il ratification
mass-meeting. 1t came off Wednes-
day evening, in Lafayette Square, and
is designated by city journals as one
OF the largest, most enthusiastic and
unanimous in sentiment that has ever
been held in the Crescent City. Flo
quent speeches from prominent citi-
zens were greeted with immense en-
thusiasm, fireworks were displayed.
cannon fired, flags raised, and general
rejoicing was the order of the day
and night.

The CHIEF has been the recipient OF
another compliment from the New
Orleans National Republican, the daily
Custom House Grant organ. In its
issue of last Tuesday, speaking of the
Donaldsonville papers, that veracious
journal says: "The Leader earnestly
supports the Baton Rouge ticket, and
is much superior to its neighbor, the
CHIEF, in point of ability" We can
didly and somewhat proudly confess
we can not compare with the Leader
in possession of the peculiar sort of
ABILITY" necessary to a support OF
the deleetable ticket nominated by
Packard's Baton Rouge mob; only we
would suggest there might be more
appropriate name for the quality than
liability" Considering its source, we
are well satisfied with our share of
the foregoing extract.

HARPER's MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
ly i'll Harpers 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 Us much to
ditfuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
wis the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion of Useful knowledge"
The great design Of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families III which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an Appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulnted

magazine published. There is not confess
edly more popular magazine in the world

The Leader man "ventures to saw y
that the six gentlemen who voted for
his nomination as State Auditor in
the Packard Convention represented
more votes than the entire Pinchback
Convention" This is not by long
shot the first ridiculous, unfounded
thing he has ventred to say.n He
makes more such ventures than any
body we know of, in this vicinity, at
least.

Pursuant to the spirit of the resOlu-
tons adopted at the meeting of anti
Kellogg Grant Republicans held in
Lafayette Square, New Orleans, two
weeks ago, one VIM. H. Murrell was
sent to Washington to interview Pres
ident Grant, lay the situation of af-
fairs in Louisiana before him, expa-
tiate upon the outrageous manipula-
ton of the Baton Rouge Convention
by Kellogg, Packard and Casey, and
ask the removal of the two latter
worthless from the federal offices they
at present disgrace. This emissary
has performed his work and returned
to New Orleans. He reports that our
noble President was much impressed
with the representations of the mis-
conduct of his subordinates, and the
consequence is that Carter, Wilson,
Cromwell, Caldwell and others of the
disaffectcd side of the Grant house are
confident that Casey and Packard will
soon receive intelligence from Wash
ington that their designations will be
pleasing documents for the perusal of
the great chieftain in whose service
they have committed misdemeanors
most nOXious.

The lberyille South has attained the
age of seven years, the issue of July
9th being the last of volume seventh.
The editor expresses an apprehension
that the publication of the journal will
cease, at least under control of the
present publishers; cause, financial
elnbarrassments, very common COM
plant nowadays. We hope some ar
Engagements can be effected to infuse
new life into the South, for it is an
outspoken Liberal Republican journal
and we wish to see all such succeed.

G. C. Antoine.
From the N. o. Louisianian.

From the N. u. Loulslanan.
Over the signature of g Pacifcus ="
there appears in the National Repab-
teaa, of July 4, what purports to be a
letter from New Orleans correspond
ent of the st. Louis Democrat, in
which Marshal Packard and the ticket
he nominated at Baton Roage are
heavily whitewashed. But the cheek
lest, boldest and most ludrieous of all
that it contains is the following para
graph on Senator Antoine:
For Lieutenant Governor, G. C. Antoine is
the most popular colored man, since the
death of Dunn, in the State, as his unani-
nous nomination indicates. He is O State
Senator, jet black, an able presiding officer
and as honest as the day is long. Last win
ter he slept. ate and drank with the Demo-
cratic State Senators ON board the " Wilder
ness" and refused to sell out to the Warnoth
faction for $4,000 but lost large sums by
clinging to the Reform Republicans.
We assert that the statement that
Antoine refused to sell out to the
Warmoth faction for $50, 900 is an I'M
mitigated falsehood, and we challenge
this correspondent to bring forward
the proof.
Yes, he slept, ate and drank with
the Democratic State Senators on the
Wilderness
Blinded by the delusive hope held
out to him by the federal officers here,
that they would make him Lieutenant
Governor, or, worse, bought up by
Democratic and Custom House mon
ey, under the pretext of opposing
Governor Warm6th, he joined the
Democratic Senators in their attempt
to overthrow the State Government
and put out of the Office of Lieutenant
Governor colored man, his personal
and political friend and partner in
business.
Such conduct as this the colored
people will never tolerate in one of
their class, and this correspondent
and the Federal office holders will
find that neither the name of General
Grant, nor the cry of Irregular ticket
will be powerful enough to make the
people vote for a ticket with such
material on it as this.

We again congratulate our neighbor
of the Leader that he was at home
sick when his name was proposed as
candidate for State Auditor at Baton
Rouge, for if he had been there and
fixed it up with Boss Packard to be-
come the nominee, as he intimates he
could have done, he would have been
much sieker next November, after
the election.

The first number of the New Iberia
Progress, edited by j. II. Jolley, ESQ.,,
and as its name indicates published in
the town of New Iberia, La, has
reached our table. The paper pre-
SCENTS a very fair typographical APP
pearance, and its editorial department
is not without some merit. One thing
which augtrs we'll for its success is the
attention devoted to local matters in
its columns. We have no sympathy
with the political tone of the Progress.

SATURDAY.. July I3, 1872.

One of our exchanges, speaking of
an assault upon the house of a peace
full citizen by gang of midnight ma
RAIDERS, says: Volleys of muskets
and shot-guns were fired by the crowd
at that dwelling place." We warrant
this the first instance on record where
Tuskets and shot-guns have been
made to perform the usual functions
of bullets, shot and shell.

We will admit for the satisfaction
of the Leader man that VIC did and do
consider the immense vote he re-
ceiyed for the, nomination of Auditor
on the Baton Rouge ticket as some
what of n joke, but we can assure him
that in our opinion the "heft !" of
the joke has fallen upon Chas. Clin-
ton. Our neighbor by suffering a
small defeat avoided a large one,
while Clinton achieved a minor victory
which but paves the way to an inglor-
ious and more prominent defeat.

For paradoxical, adjustable, india
rubber argument, warranted to fit all
sides of any and every question, COM
mend us to the Grant journals of this
country, including the little one in
Donaldsonville. In order to prevent,
if possible, the acceptance by the
Democrats of Horace Greeley as their
candidate for President, contingency
Grants friends well may fear, this
class of newspapers have quoted the
past utterances and recalled the past
actions of Mr.. Greeley to prove him
an ultra Republican and an i'm
placable enemy of Democrats and
Democracy; then, seeking to stem the
tide of recruits that are daily pouring
into the Greeley camp from among
Republicans, they advance the fact
that Democrats are supporting Mr..
Greeley as proof that he has turned
Democrat. Do not these ridiculous,
self-contradicting arguments serve to
demonstrate to what desperate straits
the Grant journals are reduced? They
vainly seek to divert the popular
current that is rising higher and high
er to sweep Grant from the Presiden-
tial chair in November next.

Adoption of Cincinnati Platform.
NOMINATING THE CANDIDATES.
For President, Horace Greeley (!
NONRESIDENT, GRAFT BROWN

The National Convention of the
Democratic party met in the city of
Baltimore last Tuesday, July 9th, and
accomplished the work for which it
had met in two days. Every State
and Territory was fully represented,
732 delegates being present. The
Convention was called to order by
DIR. Belmont, chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Executive Committee,
who in his opening address referred
to Horace Greeley in very fiattering
manner, and was loudly cheered. Mr..
Thomas jefferson Randolph, of Vir-
ginia, was chosen temporary chairman
of the Convention, and upon the per-
manent organization ex-senator Jas.
r. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, was unan-
imously elected president. Mr.. Doc
little, upon taking the chair, delivered
an eloquent address which demonstra-
ted clearly that he was in favor of
fusion with the Liberal Republicans
by the adoption of the Cincinnati
platform and candidates. The enthu-
siasm with which the address was re-
ceived by the delegates left no doubt
as to the subsequent action of the
Convention.
A committee on resolutions was
selected, which agreed to report the
Cincinnati platform for adoption, with
the following introduction We, the
Democratic electors of the United
States, in convention assembled, pre-
sent the following principles, already
proclaimed at Cincinnati, as essential
to just government"
After the selection of new Nation
al Executive Committee, composed of
one member from each State, the
Convention adjourned until next day.
The first business on Wednesday
was the consideration of the report of
the committee on resolutions, embody-
ing the Cincinnati platform. After
some discussion the report was adop-
ted by vote of ego yeas to 20 nays.
A resolution was adopted to go into
the selection of candidates for Prcsi-
dent and Vice. President. Mr.. Snow
brook, of Illinois, nominated Horace
Greeley as "the Democratic candi-
date for President"
The result of the first ballot was
announced amid loud and continued
cheering: Whole number of votes 7;s2,
of which Horace Greeley received CSC,
Judge Black 81, James A. Bayard Is,
VIM. H. Groesbeck 2.
The nomination of Mr.. Greeley was
made unanimous.
b. Graft Brown was nominated as
candidate for Vice-President, and re-
ceiving 713 votes upon the first ballot,
the nomination was made unanimous.
Having accomplished noble task,
the National Democratic Convention
adjourned sine die.
