THE OYSTER JOURNAL.

Our bivalvular contemporary the
P;cayune. whose chief editor, as
declared by himself, twas born on
an oyster bed" responds to our
article on the New Orleans Press
spitefully:
The concession, from an honest
Journalist, that Governor Pinch
back "was q leader of great power
possessing almost. unlimited posi-
bilities for good" would be consia-
cred highly and justly compliment
airy; but in this case it is an admis-
sion, long deferred and made only
when the Pscayune, ~concious OF its
own impotency, is forced thereto
by . public opinion before which it
tremblea ..
Any complacency that Governor
Pinchback might feel, by so full an
admission on the part Of his politi-
cal opponents, as to his influence is
in this instance, marred, because
the conviction rs irresistible, thai
the concession is both forced ano
insincere.
Despite the P;cayune's effort. *

the colored Republicans, by inaidi

Last week elections for delegates
to the Parih Convention were held.
in the several Wards OF thls city,
and the delegates will meet in Con
yeptiona At the Mechanics Institute
to-day at 10 NJ
Thsresis no. more important po-;
litical convention held in the State,
than that of the. Parish Of Orleans,
except it be the convention Of the
State at large.
Not only the success OF tho party
in the city but OF the whole State
will be effected, for good or evil, by
the action and spirit Of the body
that assemblies to-day. Where there
is freedom Of thought, differences
.H.'.&~ 3.
of opinion viii occur, and We can
hardly conceive Of the manly indie
pendsnce, so necessary to self res
pect and which grows out Of honest
differences OF opinion, without more
or less of contest and division.
| There is nothing exceptional OF
ldiscouraging, in these particulars
in the condition OF our party to-day
| There is division and some bitter
ness among our honest, but irrepres
sible friends in several Of the wards
but this bitterness can be removed
and these divisions healed b!
ordinary prudence and cancellation
exercised by the members OF tn
convention Of to-day.
Some of tho contests may b
decided on their merits, some ma;
be compromised, and some, unde
conditions acceptable to both classes
may be referred to the voters OF tn
wards for their solution.
1t occurs to us, that the CONVEX

OF to-day, that there is an organize
powerful political opposition still

permit a serious division in 0,

The enterprising journal that
claims to be the Coolest and best"
the New Orleans Picayune has had
one Of it's reporters busy for the
last few weeks. trying to create the
impression that certain leading
colored men were opposed to Gov:
Pinchback, and that the disturb
ances in the party primary elections
in several wards Of this city, grew
ont Of q contest between Pinchback
men and anti-Pinchback men, in
which the latter were successful and
we have no doubt, but what they
wished it was SO in the bottom OF
their hearts, for nothing would 90
delight the Picayune and papers OF
its FAX, as to see the oolored men
desert Mi. Pinchback.
We submit to the public whether
It would not have been more to the
credit of that journal had its re-
porter given a little of the time de-
voted to ward politics to that little
State House lease matter.

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE
THE MEDIUM AT WORK.

Among our most readable coun-
try exchanges are the ConcordM
Eagle the organ of Hon. David
Young and the ST. Charles Herald
the organ Of Hon. Michael Hahn,
and we have been struck, more than
once, with the sympathetic and lit
eral similarity between the outsides
of these two journals, thus reversing
the resemblance existing between
the proprietors. In person they are
very unlike on the outside and with
great similarity internally; both be-
ing shrswd, witty, diplomatic. thrifty
men, with q large proportion in
their composition Of the scripture
character described as "the prudent
man.. "who foreseeth the evil and
hideth himself"
There are two announced editors
on the EAGLE and Herald, but this
resemblance may result from Aunt
ted and concerted effort to make uI
a common outside, or possibly one

practicable moment; the revenues
of the country should be increased
so as to pay current expenses,
provided for the sinking fund re-
.quired by law, and also a surplus
to be retained inathe treasury in

artificial method Of making paper
money equal to coin, when,the coin
is not owned or held ready to

is nothing moro than promises to

balance OF trade has nothing to do
with the question. The duties on

creates q limited demand for gold
About enough to satisfy that de-
mand remains in the country. To
increase this supply I see no way
open but by the Government
boarding through the means
above given, and possibly by requir.
ing the National banks to aid. It
is claimed by the advocates OF tho

curing three-fourths Of the re-
serves to be retained by the banks,
and prohibiting interest to be re-
ceived on the balance, it might not
prove q contraction; but the fact
cannot be, conceded that theoreti-
cally the bill increases the paper
circulation one hundred million OF
dollars, less only the amount OF re-
serve restrained from circulation by
the provision Of the secondsssection.
The measure has been supported on
the theory that it would give in
creased circulation. It is q fair in
ference, therefore, that if in prac-
tice the. measure should fail to
create the abundance Of circulation
expected of it, the friends of the
measure, particularly those out OF

Aation as would give the expected
