Conservative and Democratic Meeting in
the Sixth District Of New Orleans,

According to announcement in the papers
the citizens of the Sixth District met toaethe,
at Council Hal f)r the purpose Of delbera
ting On the action Of their Representatives il
the Conservative Caucus
The meeting was called to order bv A. A.
Carman, Esq, who nominated Carroll ". AL
len as Chairman, and Capt d. Blanchard as
Secretary.
The Chair at the request Of several gen
tlemen, called on Mr.. Bower Ga representa-
tiFe, who was present. to give his views on
the situation, and acquaint tho people with
his action on the subject of compromise
Dir. Bower responded accordingly, and sta
ted that he believed in his conscience that
he had acted right in voting for compromise.
and that he would stand or fall by his con.
yictions. He believed that there being a
choice OF two evils, he was bound to choose
that which he thought calculated less to in
juro the interests Of the people, aud that was
an apparent submission to force and to the
powers that be. He believed that as the
Louisiana case was only a secondary matter
in the minds Of the people Of the North, and
in order to undeceiye them of the errors and
misrepresentation made by the Radical
party Of tbs State, il would be BIZ accepting
a half loaf and not by demanding all. in
order to adjust our present difficulties and
allay the suspicious Of our enemies.
Mr.. Smith then took the floor, and made a |
very spirited speech and WAS frequently ao- |
pauded. lie opposed compromise and con
demned the action OF any Representative who |
had voted for compromise. Compromise
means sHYr,oler, and it were dastardly at this
Late day, when so much had been toiled for.
to surrender the dearest rights OF a free peo-
pie Tor, perhaps, a little temporary gain.

speakers voice was drowned in the applause).
NIr. Elliott was called for and spoke as fol-
lows: " Re had always been Numerically op-
posed TO his colleague in ere,y instance during

rom impeaching him with any bad motives"

CIVIL RIGHTS.
An Attempt to be Made by Negroes
to Enter the Varieties.

We learn from reliable authority that to-
night an organized attempt will be made by
gang of negro legislators TO seat themselves
in box Of the Varieties Tickets, it is said,
have been purchased by white men, and
armed with these, they are going to seek an
entrance. As civil rights have not as yet
reached here this will doubtless be the first
case. One or two Senator'S are said TO be in
the crowd, and lively time may be expected.

LIBERAL CHRISTIANS.

The We've Of the a5oye-ramed class of
Christians being very generally misunderstood,
q few remark III explanation thereof NAV prob
ably prove serylceab,e. They recognize Jesus as
the long, expected Messiah, confidently believing
in the divinity Of His mission and the iufalible
truth Of all His declarations. They contend that
He was emincntly capable Of furnishing all the
| information concerning the attributes of God
and the duties Of man that was needed, and did
impart, most unqualitiedly, all such knowledge.
Hence they claim that it would BE- absurd for
them to heed certain conclusions presented By
body Of men who were not his contemporaries,
having been born in a subsequent century. and
who were in every respect UNNECESSARILY inferior
to Him.
TO recognize as reliable the dogma. emanating
from the latter would, Liberal Christians think
be equivalent to an admission that those men
were better qualified to elucdae truth than
Jesus was. Those dogmas are not however re-
jected solely account OF their uselessness bat
also, and no less emphaticaIly, on the ground Of
beng papably suDy9rsiye Of the teachings of
the Saviour. While, however entertaining the |
above named convictions, Liberal Christians fully
recognize the right and the duty OF all holding !
different opinions, TO retain abandon them in |
obedience to the dictates at .hor own con-
sciences.

distinguished clergymen ever located in this citv

Justice to Mr.. Brown.

Mr.. Hale, of New York, who has not beer
| able to attend sittings OF the House for tbt
! past four weeks on account Of illness, wrote
to-day to MIR. Crittenden, of Missouri, ex
| pressing his regret that his illness bad pre-
vented him from taking any part in correct
ing the Injustice which he is now fully con
vlnced was done to Mr.. Brown, of Kentucky.
IN the resolution of censure moved by himself
and adopted by the House in the earlier part
OF the session He repeats his conviction
that 50 far as shat resolution imputed to Mr.
Brown any intention of prevarcation and
double dealing in his response 10 the Speaker
himself and a majority Of the House had
been misled, and had done injustice to Mr.
Brown He adds:
\ careful examination Of the record since.
qualifying it by my own distinct recollection,
satisfies me that | did great wrong to Brown
IN imputing this intent to him, and that there
was nothing IN his response to the Speaker
inconsistent with entire good faith, or with
the integrity Of an upright and honorable
man. l shall never hesitate to express freely
the conviction that | have above expressed to
you, and if anything contained in TIL, letter
within your Judgment will be of service to Mr.
Brown. l beg you to consider the letter en-

piled from statements from $50 points
in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,

there has been from quarter to one
third of the winter wheat crop killed,
but has been nearly offset by the in
creased number of acres sowed, and
that the quantity of spring wheat put
in, if everything is favorable, will
bring the whole production up to the
average crop. One fourth of last years
crop remains In the farmers hands.
The amount of corn put in this year
greatly exceeds that Of last year.
