EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
Ny last brought mo to Philadelphia,
where my first duty, on visiting the great
exposition, was to seek ont the Louisiana
exhibit. After some searching found it.
It consisted of ono barrel of pecans Of
Texas growth. Our commissioner must
have had happy time cracking them, for
ct tho period o; my visit they were nearly
oil gone. Our energy was highly spoken of
by oil foreigners who were fortunate enough
to find them.
In the American department of the fine
art gallery found our dreman's painting.
Each we'll remembered face glowed from
the canvass with recognizing smiles, - if
they were glad to meet one from home

was emerging from hi, place in the group
to invite me up to smile, when q lady from
Boston touched me ON the shoulder and
asked which of them was Captain John
Smith.
was truly mortified to think that in this
age. in this nineteenth century, an intelli-
gent lady should not know better than to
mistake our gallant firemen for the inter-
view of the great Indian chief with the de-
funct John.
Having done the annex to the fine art
gallery, next visited Memorial Hall, and
the first notable painting to strike my eye
was portrait of our quonds friend, John
Falstaf. have, in my day, visited nearly
every collection of art to be found, but this
is the first time have seen q portrait doing
justice to that unctious old sport-the leer
from his eye is worth going Thousand
miles to see. He certainly is thinking of
Mrs. Ford. You can see it cropping out all
over his face.
By the time l had gone through Memo
rial Hall concluded that to 60 through the
whole with any kind of system would be
only defeating my purpose, which was to
see all could in the short time had at my
command. /, therefore, started through
the whole show, taking in such as attracted
my attention.
The musical department found in vari-
ous parts of the Main building. The exhi-
bit is more than good, it is suberb. Our
American manufacturers have prepared
their works expressly for this exposition
If you wish you can hear grand concert

will be Q very hard matter to make the
awards in the musical department. Levy,
tho great cornet player, in my opinion, is
not to be compared with Arbuckle. have
heard both play in the Main building. Ar
buckle plays with great taste and feeling
while Levy rattles through his music with
wonderful execution, but with very little
expression.

This 10 positive refusal on the part of
eight candidates who had been selected for
special honors by the Independents and in
dorsed BY the Republican Parish Conven-
ton to accept the courteous compliment.
We learn that the Same pressure which
was yestsrday brought to bear upon them
was Alec felt by some of the men originally
selected BY the independents. The opin-
ion prevailed very generally last night thst
the whole movement would fail and the
plans Of the Independents fall through. Mr..

Improvements, declined early n the day.

dates without the sanction of the Demo
cratic committee, and that their nominees
must not accept outeide assistance. It may
be that this il not IN evidence of the abject
surrender of the community to the political
rings called ward clubs, but it looks like it.
1t 10 very certain that neither of the eight
gentlemen who have thus been compelled
to play . rather uDgracious part toward
several Thousand of their fellow. citiz ans
who offered them high compliment, cares
to take the risk of facing the music. So
they come down at the first crack of the
party whip and abandon their Ind ependent
friends for the sake of safety.
As Republicans, we have no very sincere
regrets for the turn affairs have taken.
Though it is one of the chief articles of our
creed that any man may choose his own
political following, We can not feel much
sympathy for those who have not the firm
ness to resist the domination of the Demo
cratic yoke. 1t may be hard uDon them,
but if it teaches them little eelf-felisnce
and independence. it viii be all the better
for them in the next campaign. Besides,

won't do when he's full of patriotism.
No sooner had the lode pendent ticket, as
Endorsed by the Republican Parish Conven-
ton, appeared in the morning papers yes
terdsy, than there was futtering OF alarm
among the Democratic henchmen. A con-
eultstion of the Parrish Committee was had
early in the day, and oil Of the candidates
whose virtues had commended them to the
Independents, were ordered to report forth
with and explain themselves. Shortly a.
forward, they began to assemble, and we're
told, in . very pointed manner, that if they
permitted themselves to aceeps the votes OF
the Republicans, on the Independent ticket,
they Hnst withdraw from the Democratic
ticket.
There were some among the candidates
who regarded this action Of the Parish Com
mittee 81 rather impertiaent; they had &C
oepted the Democratic nominations, as they
believed, for the good Of the public. and
TIA Damocrstie convention had placed them
m the ticket because they were entitled to
pubsic confidence. They had not sought
the nomination Of the Independents, or the
Renublican Endorsement; but if these or'
uanizaaous saw 1T to approve Of what the
Democrats had done, they regarded it
rather a. 9 compliment thsn reproach.
This line of argument seemed to have no
effect. The lash was freely spps;ed to the
backs of the recslcitrants. The pressure
wss too strong, and they gave way.

THE PEsT1FER0Us JA1L-HoRRID SMELL
ABOUT THE PLACE.-A visit to and an in
spection Of the cells at the city Jail is enough
to convince any one that they are, as DR..
Dove and Sergeant u. Il. Briggs have re-
peatedly reported them, not fit for human
beings to live in. The waste-pipe in the
colored prisoners side has been removed in
order to give room for the new dungeons
now being built, and thus the only process
by which the pipes leading from the cells
to the main culvert can be cleaned out has
been destroyed. This has been the condi-
ton for weeks, and the odor in the cells is
unbearablc.
Mr.. Briggs reported the condition OF the
cells to Mr.. Bates, the assistant city engi-
ncer, q week ago, and his statement is cor
roborated by three of the prisoners who
saw the note Mr.. Briggs wrote complaining
OF this state of affairs, and intimating his
fears that il something was not done the
place would breed disease.
Colonel w. Z. Cutshaw, the city engi-
neer, states that the matter can be easily
emedied-indeed, he had an engagement
yesterday with Judge Guigon to go down
in the afternoon and show the Judge how
he had arranged to have the place thoroughly
washed out. The rain doubtless prevented
their going down.
In some Of the cells the deposit has actually
filled the pipes and oyerlowed on the doors,
despite the efforts Of the Jail officials to pre-
vent it. The only way in which these pipes
can now be cleaned out is to make the pri-
soners every afternoon dip the refuse
matter from the pipes and carry it out
in the yard, and then throw it in the
culvert, which has been opened for this
purpose. When this was done most
intolcrablc stencil arose and pervaded the
whole Jail building-so offensive that some
Of those near at hand beat hasty retreat.
The whole matter will doubtless be satis-
factorily arranged in day or so.

A Card from DIR. A. S. McRac to the
Public.

I desire, avoiding details, and as briefly
as the Importance OF the subject to me will
admit, to make to the people OF this city and
OF the State at large a statement with regard
to my recent past and my present political
status. The high public position with
which / have been honored and entrusted
by the Conservative voters OF the Third
senatorial district is my apology for thus
intruding myself upon the public notice.
Suffering from deep and burning sense
OF the gross injustice inflicted upon me In
the Conservative primary election held last
fall, determined prior to the adoption OF
the present plan OF primary election not
to subject myself to the control Of the regu-
lar party organization. In referring to the
unnatural and unjust treatment OF which
was the victim last fall | do not
design in the remotest degree to reflect upon
the great mass Of the Conservative voters
the rank and file-nor upon large num-
Der Of those who are known as party lead
ers, but simply refer to self-constituted
clique, or ring, OF hireling political wire
pnllers and iugglers, who, alike regardless
OF honesty, justice, and the general we'll
being Of the Conservative party, worked,
and worked with almost complete success,
the election machinery to secure their own
personal and sordid ends.
This much I feel it a duty to my friends
and to myself to say, at least in partial vim
dication OF my recent position. | prefer to
bear reproach rather than, under eriStinJ
circumstances, to publish FULL HISTORY OF
the wrongs which were perpetratcd upon
me. But a primary-election plan for the
spring elections has been adopted by the
present highly-respectable and fair-minded
City Committee which / think, after
having maturely considered it, does not
admit OF any improper manipulation,
and is as we'll calculated to result
in securing the will OF the Conservative
party as any that could be adopted. In con-
formity, therefore, with this belief, and in
obedience to every honest conviction and
patriotic sentiment Of my heart and mind,
as well as in strict accordance with every
political vote and act of my past life, do
now, after temporary, and / trust to the
party Of harmless, divergence from a
straight party line, resume my position as q
private in the ranks OF the regular Conser-
vative organization.
Without intending to cast any reflections
upon the intelligence or the motives OF the
gentlemen who are, notwithstanding the
great bulk OF the Conservative public is
satisfied and at rest, still seeking to maintain
an Independent organization, l am con-
strained to say, in justice to myself, that
have no sympathy with or part whatever in
the matter.
Whatever may be the result Of the ensu'
ing primary election shall bow to its deci,
sion. and heartily supports it nominees.
Very respectfully, A. S. MCRAE.

THE CITY QUIET.-The newspaper re-

in vain. Even Coroner Taylor was below

bosom OF the Dock seemed to be as open as
it ever was, but it failed to furnish any sub
jects. Even the boys won't get drowned ;
and to him it seemed to be one of the advan-
tages OF free cducation-they are kept from
the water and in school all day. He was
hopeful, however, that this state OF things
would not last much longer.
