This Is said to have been the plan ad-
vised at Washington. Packard was
thought to be the strongest man before
the convention, the only one capable OF
properly fighting Warmoth, and was,
therefore, ordered to run, secure the
nomination, and be ready to surrender
ly the strongest man and likely to se-
cure the nomination. Warmoth, how
ever, depends upon his friends sticking,
and detection in the enemy's rank.

Is supposed to be with Packard. In fact,
Packard has the support OF the State
and General Governments, the Custom
house, and the State Executive Commit

that Warmoth is making against these
combined forces. His only supporters
are Pinchback, few old friends and u
majority OF the negroes.
PACKARD TRIUMPHANT.
At IL m. the caucus met and Stamps
and Pinchback were nominated candi-
dates for Temporary Chairman OF the
Convention. Pinchback ran badly, and
Stamps was triumphantly elected amid
the applause OF the Packard crowd and
cries OF "pOor Pinchbackl"

compelled us to manly choice OF con-
fronting these dangers In struggle to
save our country from dismemberment,
and to vindicate the just rights OF the
Federal Union. Having triumphed In
that struggle, now forever closed, we are
made sensible OF the wise foresight OF
the founders Of our freedom in their
warning Of the opposite dangers. which
would attend our success. Those dangers
come to us in acts OF illegal military vio-
lence. committed in times OF peace, In the
usurpation by the soldiery OF power TO
decide the membership OF our legisla-
tive assemblies, whose right to judge
exclusively in such cases has ever been
guarded with peculiar jealousy by our
race--in the proposal, made and ac-
cepted by our highest civil and military
functionaries, to subject our citizens TO
tribunals in which military officer will
decide, without appeal, what persons.

point the members OF the court-will
review and confirm or change the Judg-
ment and sentence--and may order In
stant executions, and In which the ac-
cused will be tried in secret, and without
counsel for his defense. This PROPOSE
tion is thus made, and thus sanctiohed,
Notwithstanding that, for similar acts,
our English ancestors sent the first
Charles to the scaffold and expelled the
second james from the throne; and our
own forefathers exiled by kindred
tyrannies and planting freedom in the
wilderness were careful 10 misery IN
our Constitution positive prohibitions
against the application to any but mill
tary persons OF such tribunals.
Unless such proposition, so made
and 50 sanctioned, shall be condemned
by a public reprobation which shall
make 1t memorable as warning TO all
future officers of the State and the army,
the decay OF the jealous spirit OF free
dom, the loss of our ancestral traditions
OF liberty, acquired through ages OF con-
fiict and sacrifice, the education OF the
present generation to servile acqul-
escence In the maxims and the practices
OF tyranny, will have realized the fears
OF Washington and Jay and Clinton
and their compatriots.
New York, first OF the commemorative
OF the American Union In population,
in resources and in military power,
should declare her sentiments on this
occasion with distinctness, a dig
nifty and a solemn emphasis which will
command the thoughtful attention OF
Congress, OF her sister States and OF the
people Of our whole country. With the
same unanimity with which she upheld
the arms OF the Union In tho past con-
fiict, she should now address herself to
the great and most sacred duty OF re-
establishing civil liberty and the per-
sonal rights Of individuals, of restoring
the ideas and habits of freedom, and OF
reasserting the supremacy OF the civil
authority over the military power
throughout the Republic.

We are so anxious for harmonious

join in a subscription to raise million
dollars to indemnify the poet who will

be more prudent. 1t might be we'll for

City Matters.

The Council was sitting in Committee
of the Whole this morning. A delega-
ton OF the fireman Of Carrollton was
received, and a conference was being
held looking to the entering upon g
contract with the city similar TO that Of
the New Orleans Firemen's Charitable
Association, for the extingquishment OF
fires In the Seventh District.
Mr.. Hardee, the City Surveyor, on
Saturday last began his investigation Of
the lake bottom, but the operations on
board the Dix were limited to- testing
the efficiency Of the sounding tools and
instruments, which were found 70 work
admirably.
The actual soundings will probably
begin to-day and be continued until sat

Mr.. Hardee was not at his odlce this
morning when q representative Of the
DEMocRAT called upon him, and there
fore nothing definite was asOertalned
REGARDING the first experiments. It Is
understood. however, that sho4ling OF

The New Lake Enc.

Never has the New Lake end seen
such crowd as poured out there yes
terday. Every car was crammed and
jammed The ride out was comfortable
enough, the riders on the cars having
much the better Of the aristocracy OF
the shell road. The faster the trotter,
the more dust he seemed to scatter.
Several thousand persons found them
selves out there in cars, carriages and
buggies, and quite filled the booths on
the revetment and protection levee. 1t
was quite gay scene. There were the
usual clumsy magician, that could not
explain his jokes in English or do them
in French, and being detected by a
little girl made off for some friend,
music, "a soda water Centennial" ice
cream, etc.
Having promenaded around and seen
the sights people began to think OF
getting home, and, as usual, the resolve
was simultaneously made by several
thousand persons, and q rush for the
cars ensued. There was the usual crowd
ing and boosting. laughing and perspir-
ing; babies were lost. children fell
asleep in strange unheard Of places, and
ladies had to be contented with any ex-
cuse for seat they might get. But the
crowd was q New Orleans crowd and
good natured, affected only by soda
water and the heat, and laughed over
the matter as il it were grand joke.
Certainly, il little money was spent
there the New Lake End might become
q regular summer watering place to our
people.

MURDER.


Last evening Mr.. Verdon's slaughter
house stall, No. 20, was the scene OF a
bloody encounter between two butchers
named Rene Gabriel and Michel Cla-
we're. and which ended in the former
being the victim OF deadly stab In the
heart at the hands OF the latter. 1t ap-
pears that these men became involved
in the difficulty about the ownership Of
a knife, when harsh words put Rene
Gabriel on his mettle, and he tried
to wrench the weapon, which he claimed
belonged to him, from the hands of his
antagonist; as he did SO, Michel Cla-
we're raised the disputed knife and drove
breast, who, without q seconds warn
ing, Was launched into eternity, the
weapon having severed the heart.
Ciavere, after the consummation OF
his bloody work, left the knife sticking
where he had driven it few moments
previous with such deadly effect; then
started for the swarmpS, hOtly pursued
by an officer, Corporal Hersey, and
some citizens. During the chase sew
eral shots were fired at the retreating
murderer. who finally distanced his
pursuers, and penetrated the swamp,
where he disappeared
The Coroner viewed the body OF Ga
briel and postponed the inquest until
to-day at 10 o'clock.
Orders have been issued from police
headquarters to arrest Clavere on sight.
He is described as being five feet four
inches in height, black curly hair. At
the time Of the murder he was clad In a
red shirt and pants besmeared with
blood from the animals which he had
slaughtered during the day; is also
barefooted and bareheaded.
