THE JANUARY CONVENTION.
All Anti-Radical Voters Should Share il
the Primary Elections.

The time for the selection of delegates to
the Anti Radical State Convention is SO near
at hand that we take the occasion to advise
and urge all citizens who desire to rid the
State of misrule to take an active and efficient
part in determining the constituent elements
of that important assemblage. Heretofore
with but few and rare exceptions the selection
of delegates in each representative district
has been left to very few members OF the
party, scarcely one-ffth. and often less than
one. tenth of the entire number of anti
Radical voters.
The consequence has been that delegates
have been chosen who were not known or
were unfavorably known to much the larger
part of the voters whom they nominally
represented, much to the dissatisfaction and
the selection. This will always occur unless
a more active interest is taken in these very
important primary elections. Unless the
better classes of our citizens take part in the
choice of delegates their interests and wishes
can not be known and represented in the con-
ventions which are to select candidates for
their suffr ,ges.
Hundreds of times have we heard the
complaint that candidates of secondary Or
der have been nominated by vulgar fraction
Of the party, consisting chiefly of professional
ward politicians. As many times have we
heard good and public-spirited citizens de-
clare that the character Of the nominees was
such that they were quite Indifferent as to
whether they were elected or defeated. They
neglect their plain duty in the first instance
and then complain of the results, making
these excuses for the neglect of their duty on
election day. These are of the ADLER class
of citizens too, men who have deep interest
in wise legislation and good government,
property owners, representatives OF much
capital, heads of old families, aud directors
of important business enterprises. They are
themselves the very men who ought to COM
pose our State and parish conventions, and
to that end they ought to share in and con-
troll the primary meetings instead of commit
ting the destinies of the State and city to the
hands of the incompetent and irresponsible.
There has seldom been time when so
much depended on the character and consti-
tuition of the body which must choose can
didates and shape the conduct Of a canvass.
The issues at stake are vital. They
come home to every citizen and affect
every interest as well as every species Of
property, Our failure to defeat and extermi-
nate the Radical usurpation next year would
entail upon this city and the State of Lou
isiana loss which money can scarcely
measure, and will retard the restoration Of
the State for some years. Citizens who are
interested in the result must, if they would
do their duty and save their property, take an
active part in the campaign which begins
with the primary elections for the choice of
delegates to the State Convention. Their
neglect of this plain duty erdangers our
cause from the very outset.

A NUISANCE.
CAN If NOT BE ABATED -!
New ORLEANS, No,

New ORLEANS, Nov. 10, 1876.
Editor New Orleans Bulletin:
Is it not within the power of the City Ad-
ministrators to pass an ordinance for the
commensurate punishment of itinerant fruit
eaters who adopt the reprehensible habit of
throwing banana and orange peels on the
sidewalks to the imminent danger of life and
limb of harmless pedestrians?
Well knowing your disposition to aid in the
correction of abuses, ask your influence in
suppressing the intolerable nuisance COM
planned OF, which has been the cause OF
serious accidents to many of our citizens,
and is rendered particularly dangerous at this
season of the year from mild weather and ex-
halations from the flags.
Very respectfully, SUBSCRIBER.

of his wife, threw him out into the street and
bolted up the doors.
In about half an hour he returned broke

raigned this morning before Judge Evans.
and pleaded not guilty, and were remanded
to the Parish Prison without bail.

Passed Away.

The colored cadet at the Naval Academy,
Master Baker, of Mississippi, has been dis
missed by request Of the superintendent.
The boys could not overlook the color line,
and the embryo Farraguts, Perrys and Por-
tiers i" hoo-dood and 'hazed" him until old
Admiral Rodgers got tired and ran him out
All the old naval officers are opposed to the
enlistment of colored seamen, and like the
army, do not intend to admit colored officer
in their circle if they can avoid it. Thus the
colored cadets at the Military Academy have
failed, and their chances for turning out an
officer of ebon hue from either academy are
daily growing less.-SDecial Correspondence
Savannah NeaoS.
Here's chance for Pinch to get another
teacher for the Boys High School, as COM
panion for Edmunds. The boys here are
much more meek than at the Naval Academy,
and the discarded colored cadet may find a
refuge here. Think of it, Pinch, our boys
are so meek and gentle, ard perhaps our peo-
pie are too.

Suspicious Opposition to Mr.. Jewell.

Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette
l. has come out that four persons are work
ing to secure the removal of Postmaster-Ge
eral Jewell. They are Senator Spencer OF
Alabama, Boss Shepherd of this district. Post
master Burt of Boston, and Gen. Butler /.
Spencer has sworn vengeance because of jew
ellis prosecution of some of his friends, who
we're detected in fraudulent mail contracts in
Alabama and other States. Boss Shepherd is
opposing Jewell, because he does not like
him. and because he is too independent of
party conventionalities Postmaster Burt, for
reasons best known to himself, and Gen. But
Ter, so far as can be ascertained, from the
principle of general cussedness. 1t is GER
tain that these four persons are using their
