TIE RADICAL CONVENTION.

This body assemblies to-day, and as the re-
Gus bearing upon the approaching campaign
in this State, it is proper that we glance at it.
composition and take note Of its actions.
From all appearances. the bitterness which
marked the rimary elections will extend t.
the Convention itself, and turbulent not
riotous session may be anticipated. Our peo
pie suffering on the unproyoked, umnter
rupted and aggravated wrongs OF Radical
dominance since 1868, not in a temper tc
| expect anything good TO come out of this mon
| grel conclaye, which embraces in its compost
| ton so many Of the prominent authors, white
and colored, of the evil from which our State
is suffering to-day.
1t would be an instance OF outcome self
mastery and manliness not yet illustrated III
the career Of the Radical magnates Of Louisi-
ana, if any one Of the historical knayes who
ornament this motley assemblage should form
such a conception Of the wrongs perpctrated
by them upon us in the past rs would impel
them, not only to Il candid admission of their
| outrages, but an honest endeavor to repair the
same.
Except on the basis of the doctrine Of
compensation, in which an evil sometimes
works its own cure, it is hardly reasonable to
anticipate the evolvement OF any good out OF
a convention III which the carpet Dagger
Packard and the aggressive negro leader
Pinchback are the leading spirits.
We shall wait for the developments, 10 be
made in the convention Of the Radical pro-
strife will issue in conflict a. confusion OF
plans that may result in turthesing the recoy-
cry, by our people, of their rights Of se't-gov-
eminent, and prepared TO make the most OF
such blunders as may, and, We believe, viii
be, III lde.
The immediate bones of contention are the
craftsmanship Of the Central Executive Com
mittee and the Presidency of the Convention,
the former being important SO ian as it bears
upon senator al aspirations, an the latter as
it touches the Funding Bill and the peeuniary
plans of the Board of Liquidators. There is
ii very appreciate manifestation among the
negro delegates from the country Of distrust
in their carpet-bag leaders especially they
lack con dence in their executive usurper
They naturally begin to question both the
integrity and capacity Of the imported ad-
venturers who have heretofore SO unscrupu-
lousy traded in their prejudices and their
votes

There is quite controversy going on in the
N orthern newspapers ~ to the propriety OF
the action Of Mr.. Conkling, United States
Senator from New York in appearing lately
as counsel of great railroad corporation, and
in opposition to the Government It strikes
us that there can be but one reasonable view
Of this matter and that is, that no member of
one of the co-orl Innate bnnches Of the Gov
ERIN emit should place himself in opposition to
it. To do SO is fragrant piece Of impro-
priety.
In referring 10 the matter Of Mr.. Conkling' $
appea' ance i" this case, the Utica IN. y. Or
serrer says that when he went into court with

Attorney ut his mercy. H appeared before
a Judge whom he had elevated to the bench
only q few months before. He confronted n
District Attorney who could not hold his office
for day if Mr.. Conking should demand his
removal. He secured a verdict which the jury
was forced to render by the rulings Of the
judge" This shows that tie editor Of the
Observer has little confidence in the purity Of
the Judiciary and the civic v.r.us Of our
people.

THE RADICALS IN ST. BERNARD.

Our Cutspoken cont1ere, lie Carlton, has a
rather spicy account Of the doings of the
Radicals in st. Bernard. 1t appears that the
take-all-y ou-can-steal party in that parish
have split upon the coming division of the
spoiIs, one faction being led by mul tito
named Guichard, the immortal Lynch, of the
Durell returning board, Metropolitan police
man, called William Gottschalk, and p. P.
Carroll, who combines in his own i'm
maculate rson the dignity Of Parish
Judge with that of keeper Of the United
States Cemetery. at Camp Chalmette
opposition are better class of men who have
heretofore acted with the Republican party.
and who in the preliminary election carried Il
majority Of the delegates to the Radical Con-
vention. This not suitng the Guichard-
Lynch combination, they went to work and
SO manipulated the returns. with the help of
Gottschalk and dozen other policemen de-
tached expressly for the purpose, that by
the decision of A. J. Sypher the pseudo
Congressman from the First District, the
Guichard delegates We're declared elected.
The C0rHon further states that two Of the
aforesaid policemen, Amedee and Smith,
made their appearance as delegates in full
Metropolitan toggery, and were subsequently
persuaded by their commanding officer
to assume citizens dr. ss before playing
the part of repr sentatives of their truly loir'
Senegambian constituency. Orr friends of
the Carlton" express great disgust thereat, !
but we, while sharing their feelings, beg leave
to remind them that the Metropolitan police is
for the express purpose Of overaw
ing every one who ventures to oppose the Kel-
logg usurpation, and that when they take
upon themselves to eject regularly elected del
they are only carrying out the programme of
their owners, and teaching the obtuse African
mind that courses, like young chickens, al
ways come ho:'e to roost."
As Sir Lucius o Trigger well puts it, it is
very pretty quarrel as it stands, and we can
afford 10 look at the various phases OF the
great Pinchback- Kellogg contest in the Impair
tial mood Of the b.ckwooisman $ wife when she
watched the fight between her husband and |
the bear When rogues fall out, there is at
least chance that decent members Of the

We learn from the Mobile Reqistes. that
there was large assembly present on the 81
inst, to witness the commencement exercises
Of that venerable and famous institution,
Spring Hill College. Amoung the visitors
We're several gentlemen from New Orleans
The first honor was given to Mr.. A. Trotot
OF New Orleans, who delivered the valetiictory
and received the degree of Bachelor of Arts
A gold medal, presented by Father Ryan, for
the bet essay on Cremation, was awarded
to Mr.. G. Ryan, of New Orleans.
The Register closes its account of the exer-
cises by saying:
We are happy to learn that this noble insti
tuition is i'll a tiouri>hing condition, and that
the roll Of students is steadily increasing. 1t
is an ornament to the State and to the South,
and the long list of distinguis! ed citizens
whom it has trained and sent forth to battle
for the right is a NOR fitting eulogium OF its
usefulness than any that our poor words can
pronounce.

THE CITY VS.. HE COUNTRY.

The following compliment to the people of
full and well deserved tribute and shows that
the labor, patriotism, and personal and pc
cuniary sacrifices Of the citizens of New Or
leans are duly appreciated by thinking and
sensible men in the parishes.
In great city it We're strange if there were
not some Objectionable individuals on hand

dirty work, but that these men have ever been
able to control or exercise undue influence
over the parish representatives, it were ms 1t

These filings at our city brethren are, we think
uncalled for and un ust. If we achieved vic
tory III the State at the last election 1t to our

dollars in attempting to thw,srt the Vaccinations

suffered more from the kel ,gg government than
any portion OF the state. Instead OF denuncla-
tion they merit the highest praise from the
country press for the manner III winch they ha ;e
stood by the cause.
As to the ling Of the Convent N in the city

A special dsp Itch to the St Louis Globe
states that leading Radicals in Washington,
and those who feel an interest in the con-

for Federal interference in their local afflirs,

The fact that an agent OF an insurance COM
pany could abstract from time to time sums
aggregating $4,000 is certain proof that the
company was loosely conducted, and deserved
to suspend. Such facts are m .de public in
the report of the alleged detalcation Of the
agent OF the Atlantic and Pacific Company of
Chicago, and tAe Peoples Company of Pnill-
deiphla. The latter which is the heaviest
loser, appears to ha re been dong business in
the Stale Of New YORK contrary to law.

The Picayune, in a desperate endeavor to
make point against the Democratic party,
dived into the columns of the ST. Charles
Herald, the lively little Radical sheet edited
and owned by ex-Gov. Michael Hahn, and,
like little jack Horner OF nursery fame,
pulled out plum in the shape Of a mild
paragraph in which the Herald acknowledges
that it knows nothing about Democratic
Convention, and that it had published no call
for one.
We wonder that aft r this successful exploit
the Pic. had not turned for additional testi-
mony to the N. O. Repu,lican, the Times
or any other recognized Radical authority.
The Democratic papers from which the Pic.
quotes are mainly opposed to New Orleans
as the place tor holding the convention, and,
now that that matter has been amicably and
satisfactorily arranged, there is no further
ground for difference or dissension. If the
Pic. were half as industrious in hunting up
evidences Of harmony, it would meet with
much more brilliant success.

Journal Of Commerce and the Eueling Post are
silent in the case, not debating it, and await

is independent, discussing with much ability

at first for Beecher but it is now rather an
advocate tor Tilton. In the country the pa
pers are divided much as Usual. Some of the
most powerful are in favor OF Mr.. Beecher,
and some, perhaps more. are against him,
though even those that are for him saw that
his letters must be explained.
