POLITICAL ON DIT.

There is a marked change in Louisar
matters in Washington, if the several tell
grams received here are true.
Gov. McEnery received one from Mr.. Zacf
arie yesterday morning, stating that there wa
strong disposition in Washington to adjus
matters, and that the present leaders {
the Republican party intimate that the
would be willing to give the Conservative
much more than was expected. The tele
gram expresses great hope that solution o
our difficulties has at last been arrived at.
We have been SO often deceived by the falls
hope instilled by the promises of these SAM
men we cannot as yet credit them with goo(
intentions. They have toyed with Louisiana
when her citizens were being beggared, ani
now that such a conversion should take place
seems to say the least, curious. The only
solution we can see of this apparent charity
is that the pressure brought to bear by the
people Of the whole country is too strong tc
be resisted, and political ambition bends the
knee to that.
The Crowd in Mourning.
The Crowd at the st. Louis Hotel are furi-
GUS over the appropriation matter. Tuesday
night several prominent members of the Kel-
logg House visited the St. Charles Rotunda
and held long interviews with our Representa-
tives. Mysterious conferences were held in
quiet corners, and it has leaked out they want
to know how much the Conservatives want.
FTba 1rirac hovo 1rayr,hf
news to the Crowd, and they are all anxious to
come in out Of the wet.
There is change Of programme some
where, and the latest intim atoms indicate
that new line Of works has been establish
ed. What they are a short time Will tell.
Net just Yet.
Notwithstanding the intim alton conveyed
by telegram from Washington that Packard
will be ousted, there are few if any among the
faithful here who believe there is q word of
truth in it.
they say he is entirely too valuable to the
Administration to be thus summarily dis
pensed with; and if nations, as well as indi-
viduals, are sometime ungrateful, the party,
that great and progressive org .niza!ion yclept
with Grant is head center,
never intends to desert the Boss.
He is too well up in the affections Of the
powers that be to be shelved at hisjuncture,
party expediency to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The Axe has not Fallen.
There did not seem to be much stir in the
Custom-House over the special dispatch pub
ished in the morning Times, announcing
general decapitation. The interior of the old
granite building was as grand, gloomy and
peculiar as ever and several prominent officials
we're seen to sneeze without their heads COM
ng off.
In Marshal Packard's Office there was an
unusual quiet owing, doubtless, to the dismal
Weather outside, and around Casey's head
quarters no sounds Of woe were heard.
Relief for the INDECENT Faithful.
W. Jasper Blackburn is happy, and all of
he faithful rejoice with him. w. J. B. is one
# those unfortunate faithful that Billy Pitt |
las no use for, and William has made ap-
continents in the parish from which Jasper
lails, with an utter disregard of the wishes of
hat distinguished gent, and he has grieved
nd his great big heart, which would take in
IL the body-especially the colored body
nd make them comfortable for life, has been
orely troubled at the doings of the Gov
rnor. ....-.
But Jasper is not the man to mourn in
Hence and alone; on the contrary he is
iven to express his woe in lamentations
bud; and he "girded on his armor and
'ent marching along" right into his seat in
ntoine's Wing, and by way Of introducing
le. story of his grievances, and the griev-
noes Of the INDECENT faithful, he submitted
le following:
Whereas, the doctrine or political theory
lat ''to the vlctors belong the spoils," is the
My safe party rule, and does not at AZ ne
