only the arrival of the 14sh is necessary to
complete all the arrangements. AS yet we
have not been able to;;discover the programme
Of either the Conservative or Radical party,
mapped one out The many contingencies
which might arise at any moment have pre-
Guided them from adopting any planned
course Of action, and both await the course
Of events before laying out their future line
Of action.
Already there has cropped out what seems
TO be defiant opposition on the part OF
several Radical members of the Senate and
House to the compromise movement. The
knights of Crozier declare he shall be a mar
tyr, and it is not improbable like cases will
occur il the House. All these minor troubles
will have to be settled first before anything
like defiuite and judicious plan Of reform
can be laid. a.4 ......= a..
Peripateiic Pinch.
From several little things. that have come
to the surface within the past forty-eight
hours, it is quite evident that Pinch is going
90 be thorn in the side of somebody. He
has an insinuating sort of way Of popping up
iust at the juncture when hc is least wanted,
and soaring those little boys who owe fealty to
aim for past fAvors. In the coming compli-
cations, Pinch will not be silent observer
Of all that is going on, for, if the report so
generally circulated at the State-House be
true, that he has already obtained eleven Re-
publican votes pledged to him to do his bid
ding, We may expect lively times.
1t is not altogether Pinch himself that kel-
sogg is SO much afraid of, as some OF his
hackers and advisers. Cancellation and prom
SEES may quiet the recalcitrant Pinch, bat
poor Kellogg will have job of it.
Hnrd on the Boys.
Pinch and Sheridan have had an interview,
Trey say, and the quid nlacs are busy in
guessing the purport of their contributions.
Winnowing out most of the wild and extrava-
CANT reports concerning this conference be-
tween the great rider and cafe an laI Senator,
We get down to what appears to be the most
reasonable probability, and that is that Phil
wanted to let Pinch know that this little talk
about kicking against the Wheeler ad-
ius,ment must be stopped ct once. Wash
ington desires to get rid Of the Louisiana
case and Phil is not going to see the chance
frustrated by any of the Faithful cutting
up antics to crafty their own ambition as
clog dancers.
1t is quite certain that there is already
what might be called almost an organized
movement on the part OF some Of those unfor
aunate Radicals members Of the House and
Senate, who have been left out in the cold by
1he Wheeler Committee, to fight their good
Eight cut until victory or the sable bird OF
political death perches on their banners. This
raay be all ri 5at, but then Phil don't like to
see so much gallantry wasted, SO he has
Limited that it won't do.
Senatomnnia.
There is sort of mania just now epidemic
ccre. 1t mas excited considerable anxiety on
the part OF politicians. and they term it the
::nordinate desire to represent something. A
Large number of men, prominent and quite
otherwise, have of late been attacked with the
irst symptom, and that is that it is necessary
.or the public veal and salvation of the State
Of Louisiana that they should be sent to the
Senate. They want to represent this COM
monwealth, not from any personal ambition,
out simply because the future destiny Of the
~hole nation will be in jeopardy if their
wishes are not gratifed. From the country
here are some three or four, and here in the
city the streets fairly throng with them. They
s5utton-hole on the crossings, and in an off
haad way inquire whether this matter will
up during the extra session. They
hang around caucuses and make profound
suggestions, and when a Congressional Com
-nittee come here they don't exactly remain
n the back ground. 1t is pity SO self
sacrificing class Of our citizens could not
90 cared for in some way, for 50 much ability
=, DING to waste is dead loss to the Republic.
Meeting Of the Conservative Caucus.
The first meeting Of the Conservative eau
< AS since the adjournment will be held on
Monday the 18th inst, two days before the
Extra session, at the State-House, where
looms are in process Of arrangement for the
occasion.
The meeting is for consultation and organi-
alton, and will no doubt be one Of consider
% DIE interest.
The New Appropriation Bill.
The faithful were indignant, and the faith
isal gave vent to their feelings, and the result
WAS regular howl in the camp.
kellogg and Clinton got all the blame.
They said the two had put Hawkins up to it.
and there was fierce denunciatio n and talk Of
2 day of reckoning, when the partnership
would be made to feel that outraging the feel
'ngs OF the faithful was not paying pro-
sceeding. Hawkins got his share of promises
of retributon for allowing himself to be used.
That portion Of the bill which Hawkins in
his wisdom considered good, was called the
New General Appropriation bill, and with
his as basis, some very weak jokes were
a.
