trand, on which special committee had
been appointed Of which DR.. Clark was

and one or two meetings held at which he
was not present.
Mr.. DeKlyne in the chair.
The secretary read report of the last

New HauDshire.

The Republican convention 10 New Hamp.
shire nominated as candidate a working
farmer of much culture and intelligence,
named McCutchin. He accepted the NOM
inatiOn in characteristic speech of liberal
sentiments in the course of which he stated
that he was the first candidate nominated
for the Office since the adoption of the can
stitution who worked upon his farm in the
fields with his own hands. He trusted that
he should use the powers of his office to
effect no special or selfish purpose. He
concluded as follows:
Manufacturers, railroad men, lawyers and
farmers have come here to-day, and, meet
ing in convention, have asked you to nOmi-
nate their respective candidates. 1t fell to
my lot to be nominated, but you have con-
ferred the real honor on farmers, and they
will acknowledge and take it as such. You
are all well aware that the farmers are .
class of men who are disposed to act. They
are the men who do the work, who build
the railroads and your cities and your cor
poratiOns. They are the men who do the
work while others find capital and it is
necessary that they and the other classes
should work hand in hand. 1t has been
said of me that l was opposed to all appro-
priatiOns. That is not the fact. / believe
in sustaining our institutions as they are,
and appropriatins what is necessary for
their benefit.
am well aware of the responsibility that
am to assume and take upon myself if
elected. am we'll aware OF criticism and
the hard words which may be said but be
assured that, according to my ability, the
best powers of my mind, the best of all that
is in me shall be devoted to the interests of
the State of New ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
and if any action shall take elevates our
farmers so that they shall stand an equal
chance with other men of equal standing or
calling with them, then l shall have accom-
plished my object. Gentlemen, again re.
turn you my sincere thanks for this mark of
your esteem. appreciate it, and it shall
be my endeavor, wherever am located, to
work for the best interests Of our noble lit
tie State. [Applause.l

Lolita and large audiences are of nightly
occurrence at this theatre. Last night was
a carnival Of fun. The little star appeared
az Paul in the "Pet of the Petticoats," and
acted with all the vim and spirit which has
made her famous. She seems herself to
enjoy the fun of the piece, and it is one of
the best in her repertoire. Mr.. Ben DeBar
played job as only Ben DeBar can play
that character. Paul and Job as psalm
singers were comcal in the extreme. Fol
lowing the comedy, Lolita appeared as
banjo solos. Mr.. Z A. Locke made hit
as Ton, Dibbles in the farce He is an ex-
cellent young comedian, and renders eff
Gent support to the star These two pieces
make fine bill, and they will be repeated
again tonight.
Varieties Theatre.
The San Francisco Minstrels are doing a
good business at this theatre. The pro-
gramme was entirely new last night, and
showed the great comedians Birch and
Backus in their best light. No better
troupe of Ministries mas ever appeared in
New Orleans, and lovers of good singing
and minstrel entertainments should hear
them at least once before they leave US.
They will give a matinee Saturday noon,
and make their last appearance on Sunday
evening.
On Monday evening the favorite young
tragedian Mr.. Lawrence Barrett will com
mence an engagement. to continue two
weeks. opening in the character Of Richie
lien. Seats can now be secured at the box
office OF the theatre for Mr.. Barrett's first
night.

Grand Dress and Masquerade hall,

Tonight the Butchers Benevolent Asso,
citation gives "grand bal pare ct masque"
in Grunewald Hall.
The Butchers Benevolent Association is
composed of worthy and patriotic citizens
The association is known for its good deeds
far and wide. Its members are all we'll
known to the community for their individ-
ual worth, and as a body the association
ranks second to none.
On the arrangements committee we notice
such men as Messrs. D. Pochelu, $. Vergez,
j. Berthin and P. Esteban.
The reception committee has for chair
man Mr. j. NJ. Abadie, assisted by Messrs.
NJ. Lannes, Lucien Duclos, j. NJ. Mailthes,
B. Baubay, A. Ottman, and others.
That this ball will be one of the best and
most select of the season is without doubt.
Those who are favored with invitations can
reckon upon gala time.

The First District Getting Its Repre-
sentatiOn at Last.

The House of Representatives did a
very proper thing yesterday in seating
Messrs. Thompson and Langles, of the first
ward, in place of Messr.. Tmony and
Mellon, and Messr.. Wilson and Provost in
place of Messrs. Rice and Finney. of the
second ward. The action of these gentle
men, who were returned by tho legal re-
turning board as elected. has been such
as to demonstrate the improperly Of
their being allowed to take their seats at
this late date, even if they had been legally
elected; but, fortunately for the interests of
the whole people. evidence was found am
pie enough to compel the House to seat
their contestants.
We hope the Senate will now delay 40
longer in giving Senator Glandin his seat
in place of Booth, who is shown to have
had no more title to such distinction than
the EusiOnists who were struck from the
rolls OF the House yesterday.

Tweed in Prison.

lFr0m the New York SUM-
The reporter was satisfied that he was
under the same roof with Tweed. He was
invited by the warden to go through the
prison. While standing in the corridor of
one of the wings, the cell occupied by
Tweed when he arrived IN the place was
pointed out by the warden. While glanc.
ing up and down the long corridor the re-
porter saw huge form emerging from
cell. Keeper Macdonald was with the
man. The reporter had full view Of him.
1t was William M. Tweed. He walled
quickly along the balcony and recognized
the reporter. His face was flushed, and he
seemed much tleshier than when he be-
came an inmate of the institution. 1t was
evident, however, that his mental anguish
is great, and that he feels his degradation
terribly. His hair is very short and mis- face
smooth. He wore brown pantaloons, vest,
and short coat, but with the disguise which
would be complete in many others, no one
who had ever seen him would have failed to
recognize the man who once carried New
York in his pocket. He hurried up the
staircase to the hospital. He had been Wis.
iting sick convict in his cell, and admin
istering medicine to him.
DR.. Partridge, who is in charge Of the
prison hospital, has never seen more
faithful orderly in the place than Tweed.
The ex-bOss arises at six o'clock every
patients. There are seventeen convicts on
the sick list in the hospital Those who are
able to sit up eat at the same table with
Tweed and the head orderly. Tweed has a
place at the head Of the table, and his SUI
periOr officer at the foot. All fare alike.
and the wealthy orderly never complains.
He is as much in earnest and as thorough
in his work as he was in other and brighter
days when he was Tammany's chiettain,
and none of the sufferers in hi. care ara
neglected by him. 1t is astonishing, the
keepers say, to see how active he is. When
a convict is carried in with crushed foot
OF injured in any way, Tweed loses no time
in attending to him. He carries a book
which contains the names of the patients
and the PHYSICIANS instructions about the
time when mediciRe must be given them,
or when a bandage or plaster should be re-
moved and others applied. Thus John
Smith, two pills every two hours" is never
forgotten, and Tweed's usefulness is appa-
rent to all. Some think that he works SO
necessarily to kill time, but he seems to
take wonderful interest in everyone in the
hospital, and frequently in the middle of
the night arises to attend to the wants Of
poor suffering wretch.
As the army of prisoners in the corridors
sat closely together at the narrow wooden
tables eating their cold roast beef. soup and
bread at noon yesterday, William NJ. Tweed,
whose saddened cOuntenance plainly
showed his misery, took his seat at the
bead of the plain table in the hospital, and
tried to look cheerful as he and his fellow
suffering convicts ate their scanty meal.
