From Red River.

Representative C. W. Keating, of Caddo,
arrived in New Orleans yesterday. During
his journey from Shreveport he visited all
the Red river parishes, and reports them
quiet. Politics are discussed great deal,
but there is at present no bitterness which
would warrant any apprehension that the
quiet would be disturbed. The crops are
fine, first class in fact, and the feelings of
the people buoysnt in copsequenss.

NEW ORLEANS, TUESDAY, AUGUST II,

1atered. The Fourth Louisiana withdrew
in disorder. Boyd's battalion could not be
rallied after charge. Captain Bynum was
called upon to take command Of Boyd's
battalion. Colonel Breaux managed TO
rally some Of the men on the line formed
by the Fourth Regiment, bu. 70 no good.
since enough could not be gathered to
push on to advantage. By the efforts
OF tho officers. the men were az last with
drawn in some sort Of ordef-saved from
panic, that was all-drawn slowly back
across the field over which they had rushed
30 dauntlessly when Allen led them ono
hour before. Colonel Breaux withdrew the
force to toe shelter Of point Of woods and
endeavored to reform his line. The officers
did all that men could do to effect this. At
length Breaux succeeded in rallying a sntfi-
@ eient plumber to show front to the enemy.
Then SemmeS battery was brought up 70
their support. and by we'll directed fire
checked the enemy's advance. Breaux
maintained this position in spite of the
heavy firing on the brigade from the
eDemy's gunboats and land batteries until
breckenridge ordered the whole body
or rather exhausted remnant Of his body
OF troops-te fall back to the Comte river.
General Breckenridge had learned that
the Arkansas had been disab abled within five
miles of Baton Rouge. She was set on fire
by her officers, and abandoned to drift down
the stream with shorted guns, fighting
lonely battle as the flames discharged her
pieces one after another. There is no doubt
but the Confederates fought q superior
force. and in the beginning fought gal
lantly. 1t was in the nature of things that
they should be routed, and that they were
only proves the bad generalship Of making
the attack.

Under this head the Bulletin of Yesterday
evening gave its readers . few political
notes surprising to leading Republicans aud
to gentlemen named. We learn from the
Bulletin that
On Saturday night acting Governor An
tome and the Governors secretary, Fl. Con
quest Clarke, were at the State House, and
an interview Of some duration between the
acting Governor and several faithful Sen
atOrs vas held.
The holy say that these Senators were in
terested in the movements Of the central
committee, that Antoine is a member OF that
committee, and H. Conquest Clarke the az
sistant secretary, and that the interview
was confined strictly to the proceedings Of
that committee-that 10, the Senators were
endeavoring to pump acting Governor An
tome and II. Conquest Clarke.
We also learn from the same source that
the Republican State Central Committee
meets every day, planning and discussing
programmes. Governor Autoine's visit TO
the State House on Saturday evening was
solely to oblige the good people and Gov
ernor of Texas, who wanted . mandate for
the arrest of Spla iley and Cock, tho mur-
derers of McNally, who y az killed in Pamela
county short time since. These outlaws
were confined in the parish Jail Of Caddo,
with prospect of being released by Judge
Looney. There were present at the meeting
on Saturday night Governor Antoine, the
Assistant Secretary of State, Mr.. Clarke
and an agent representing the Gov
ernor Of Texas. As the gas company
has very prudently turned of the
gas from the State House building, the
mandate had to be made out by the light OF
. few matches, and the instr rument was duly
signed, sealed and delivered, and the meet
ing adjourned after session OF a few
minutes, which certainly was Of ''some
duration" Mr.. Clarke acted as secretary
of the meeting upon that occasion, without
q doubt, but the meeting could scarcely DO
called q meeting of the Republican State
Central Com mittee, and Mr.. Clarke is not
the secretary nor assistant secretary of that
committee. With the trihing exception con-
cerning the position Of Mr.. Clarke, as con-
nected with the Republican State Central
Committee, and that there was no inter
view between the acting Governor and
faithful senators, as stated, the Bulletin's
report is substantially true, and it 10 not
necessary for that paper to publish another
equally important item to set matters
right, as it would do in making corrections.

We learn that Judge Niles of At
tala, who was defeated tor Congress
by not being permitted to canvass
several counties, is in Washington
City. 1t is not improbable that he
will contest his seat. such u course
will bring out the facts in relation
to the late election in his district,
which may be.considcrcd a fair sam
Pile of the election iii most of the
other districts.-Jdchson Pilot, De
cen,5er -Ath.
Baron Munchausen never pub
lished a tale less founded upon that
immaculate principle for which the
little boy who cut the cherry tree
was noted. Our contemporary is the
victim of most cgregiouS mi-intor-
nation about the whereabouts of
Judge Niles. 1t has not been ten
minutes since we SAW him upon the
streets of this place, and. if he has
the rcmotest idea OF contcs,ing the
election of Col. Singleton, we have
yet to hear Of it. W. pretend not,
however, to be the cusio Liam OF his
secrets. Nor is it truc that judge
Niles was not permitted to canvass

Of violence, or even indigniiy, that
WAS offered to prevent it.-CeH'Tut

THE OUTLOOK.

The unity and good feeling exist
ing in the Democratic ranks argues
we'll for its success In the Ma
tional battle of 1876. Tho wise
and judicious selections by the
Democratic Congress of men of ad-
mitted ability and integrity-mcn
who have shown themselves above
the corruption and political intrigues
of the day, men who are sound on
all doctrines, state and national,
that will tend to advance the mate
rial interests of the whole country,
and who are opposed TO sectional
and party legislation designed to
advance the aims and interests of
one part of the country or the fol
lowers of one political faith TO the
detriment Of another, incn who are
alike acceptable to both sections of
our common country-fo- its lead
ers and chief movers has done more
to strengthen the ranks of the par
ty by giving the entire people a
degree of confidence and faith in
their ability and detcrmi nation to
make radical change for the bet
ter in the ADMINISTRATION of the af-
fairs Of the General Government
than anything else that could pos
sibly have TRANSFERRED would have
done.
On the other hand, the Republi.
can party is being shaken from
center TO circumference by the re-
cent developments of the crooked
whisky rings throughout the North
west. 1t would seem that those who
are highest in official position and
party esteem are deepest in this
slough of guilt and corruption. Even
those who have sat beneath the
teachings and precepts of the politi-
cal altar arc implicated in these
frauds. Aye, more, it is darkly
limited that the immaculate robes
of the Chief Magistrate himself arc
not overfree from their bligh;ing in
Hucncc.
Many Republicans who have long
been tired of the corrupt state Of
their party and who feared to go

: .,,- Of the President who have
/bson indicted for completely in the
whisky frauds. The following are
the remarks which cost Gen. Hen
dcrson his official head:
What right has the president to
interfere with Commissioner Doug
lass in the proper discharge of his
duties, or with the treasurer
Now, why did Douglass bend the
supple hinges of tho knee and per
nit any interference by the Presi-
dent This was Douglass own
business, and he stood resp rnsible
for 1t under his official oath. He was
bound To listen Ia no dic,ation from
the President, Babcock, or any 9TH
or officer, and it was his duty to see
that order carried out, or to resign.
Gen. Henderson had been untir-
ing in his efforts to expose the ras-
calities of the ring, and in view of
the fact that the Presidents private
secretary and several of his most
intimate friends had been indicted,
that there was a fair prospect of the
guilty parties being brought to JUS
tice and fraud and corruption in
high places rebuked and punished,
his removal is, to say the least of
it, untimed, and its tendency will
be to weaken the public faith in the
Presidents alleged desire to have
this matter shown up, and leads one
to doubt that he was in earnest
when he said, ''let no guilty man
escape"

Mr. Waddell (Dem., n. c. offered
u resolution for the appointment by
the chairman of a Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee, to consist of
three senators, six representatives
and three citizens of the District of
Columbia
Mr.. Cox Dem., N. W offered a
resolution providing for the appoint
mont by the chairman of a COM
mittee of eleven members to sug-
gest to the caucus at future meet
ing such line of policy or action on
public measures as would best servo
the interests OF the country.
These resolutions were, after de-
bate, agreed to. During the Incl
dental discussion, there was a har-
mony of views with regard to the
duty of the majority OF the House.
All agreed that they should rs far
as possible effect the reduction of
taNatlO1, anu liitt the boNcfnlhcnt
should be honestly and economical
ly administered. Much RESPONSE
bility devolvcd on the majority
of the House. Although the Sen
ate was not politically IN accord
with them, the country desired the
stoppage of corruption and wasteful
expenditures, and the Democracy
could no, expect the people to stand
by them unless they stood by the
people.
No business apart from that
above mentioned was considered.
The message which the President
will shortly send to Congress, on
Southern affairs, will relate for the
greater part to the late troubles In
Mississippi, and the mode of con-
Quoting elections in that state, the
information hav ing been gathered
by persons designated for that pur-
pose.

Thus far we have not heard that
any of our county officers have sue
ceeded in making their respective
bonds, and if Chancellor Breck will
do his duty as we expect him to do,
as he is sworn to do, at least five
seventies of them will not give bonds
that will be satisfactory. What
then? Why, in twenty days from
the day they are required to give
their bonds, and failing to do SO,
their offices will be declared vacant
and it will be the duty of the Board
of Supervisors to order q new cleo
ton TO fill all vacancies. There is
q very strong probability that we
will have another election in less
than sixty days. 1t will cost the
county considerable, but nothing
like as much as it may, if the bonds
of our officers are not good and sol
vent.

Mr.. Glover OF st. Louis, was Of
fered the position of leading coun-
selin the prosecution of the ST. Louis
whisky ring frauds, vice Gen. Hen
derson dismissed, and declined on
the ground that, "under restraints
imposed by Pierrepont's telegram
removing Gen. Henderson, he con-
sidered the acceptance equivalent
to an endorsement of Grants right
to remove any one engaged on the
prosecution for the slightest criti-
cism upon the conduct of the Prcsi-
dent or his cabinet. In short, that
he regarded an acceptance, under
tho circumstances, as concession
of certain privileges which not only
every attorney, but every man
feels himself entitled to in this
country" James G.. Broadhead
was rendered and accepted the po-
sition.

GRANT.
.

1t is reported that his accidency
is about to illuminate on our devot-
ed heads in the province of Missis-
sippi, as he deems this fair state of
ours to be,a message wherein will be
rehashed all the state ISLANDERS and
malignant lies that thieves and
scoundrels have filed his ears with.
Well, let him illuminate. His
friend Mcdonald and his friend Az
cry, who dealt in crooked whisky,
and crooked the knee that "thrift
might follow fawning," have dis
covered that thieving, even in the
bosom friends of Grant, is not to be
tolerated by an over-patient, over
burdened people.
And the dapper, natty Abide
camp, Col. Babcock he too, notwith
standing he dimes and wines with
his accidency, Notwithstanding the
very heart strings of his boss are
rent at the misfortune of the Colo
mel, and angry frowns and drunken
groans are seen and heard in the
executive mansion, has been indict-
ed By a patriotic grand jury of a
penitentlary offence. Still, says the
God and morality sphynx, all these
peccadillos are nothing, for carpet
bag thieves and Radical rascals all
over the South, and particularly in
Mississippi, have los. their offices,
and they must be reinstated. Pret-
ty little game, amt it? The scar
ed partridge rustles in the leaves
afar off from her nest, to deceive
the spoiler. The pursued and tir-
ed ostrich sticks his bill and head
in the sand, and imagines his per-
suers vanished. Alas /! poor Grant,
he re-bawls carpet-bag lies, and dis
charges John B. Henderson from
government employment, hoping
that he can longer deceive the peo-
pie. hoping that his dear, dear little
Babcock may escape! But even he
cannot by all this bosh, this crimi-
nal effort to keep apart the patriots
of the North and the South, pre-
vent his design from being clearly
perceived and understood, and his
ignobie scheme of dictatorship from
being frustrated. The American
people are tired of thieves in office,
pinned there by bayonets. They
cannot bear TO see the descendants of
the men of Lexington, Concord,
Bunker Hill and Yorkstown enc
mics when they should be friends.
The Centennial is upon US and his
accidency is not abreast of the limos
he must give way to a statesman.
West Point in politics is failure
the people are tired of it all.
