IN THE TOLLS.

On last Wednesday morning the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Chas. Peasants, at the
corner OF ToIedano and Prytania streets,
was burglariously entered by thieves,
who succeeded In getting away with
three suits OF clothes and some other
wearing apparel. On the following morn
ing burglars effected an entrance into
the residence Of Rev. Mr.. Lewis, at the
corner Of Coliseum and Pleasant streets,
and escaped, with a watch and some
jewelry, valued at $3.50. At first all
hopes OF recovering any of the property
or bringing the parties concerned to
justice was given up, as being
altogether out of the question !;
but some citizens happened to discover
two suspicious looking individuals on
both Wednesday and Thursday morn
ing crossing the Magnolia bridge
heavily laden with bundles and baskets
at most unreasonable hour, and, be-
lieving that there was something
crooked, they followed them until they
into a house ON Bertrand
street between Lafayette and Poydras
The detectives getting wind
of the matter through the papers,
armed themselves with search war
rant and paid visit to this crib. None
OF the stolen goods were recovered but
they succeeded in arresting two thieves
named Manual Johnson alias Topsy and
Thos Jenkins.
They were arrested and locked up in
the Central Station. johnson was iden-
tilted as having been a penitentiary
bird on the charge OF grand larceny.

mind is fully imbued with the idea oi
the subordination Of the military to the
civil power, and grasps and compre-
hends the cardinal principles OF free
government.
His honest soldier hand would brave
ly and swiftly cut from the body polite
the fostering sores OF corruption that
are eating their way to the very citadel
Of the national life, would crush the
"rings" and the corruptionists who have
reduced stealing to a s'fine art" and
restore to the Government something OF
its pristine purity and economy.
His life long Democracy is full guaran-
tee that he is sound upon the cardinal
maxims Of our great party; his unflineh.
ing courage is guarantee that he would
fearlessly enforce them In his admins
tration his name has the ring OF '76,
and is the slogan OF victory.
Contrasted with the Radical nominee,
the little star OF Hayes would be lost In
the full noontide glory OF Hancock 8
sun.
With such candidate--one whose
name will silence the single battery OF
RadicaIism and strike its last weapon
from its unnerved hand and leave 1t
spiritless and defenceless, face to face
with an outraged people, whose conf
dence it has betrayed and whose name
it has dishonored-the contest cannot
be doubtful. The sun OF November will
mantle our victorious banners, and
peace--sweet, gentle peace-wlll come
back and nestle close by the hearth
stones and shrines OF our too long dis
tracted country.
I have written to you hastily, but full
ly and candidly. 1t is right that we
should know and understand fully each
others thoughts and opinions. Ii |
have written strongly, it is because l
feel strongly the convictions expressed
here. But the united coiinseIs of our
conptryrnen are superior to mine, and |
shall adopt their views as expresse at
st. Louis, and follow with enthusiastic
zeal him to whose hard our party COM
mits its banner. May the great God OF
our fathers inspire their counsels and
bless their deliberations to the perma-
nent good OF our distracted and i'm
periled country.
I will not be able to return to New Or
leans until Congress adjourns, which
may not be before the close OF July.
But will be at home in time to partici-
pate in the canvass, and to aid to the
best Of my humble abilities in the strug-
gle for the redemption OF our noble and
beloved State.

Christening Of the New wiswam.

Christening Of the New WiSwam.
The First Auxiliary Club Of the Tenth
Ward celebrated yesterday evening,
with appropriate ceremonies, the chris
tening Of its new wigwam. The wigwam
is situated on the corner OF Jackson and
Liberty streets, and is a capacious and
stable wooden building, capable OF seat
ing all the members OF the club, several
hundred in number.
The wigwam, yesterday evening, was
quite filed with invited guests and
members OF the club. A large crowd
also gathered on the street near, listen
ing to the speeches, and joining in the
applause.
Gov. John McEnery, the first intro
duced by the President, entered into
lengthy speech, showing the necessity
of admitting all persons to the Demo
cratic Conservative party who were op-
posed to Radicalism. whatever had been
their previous party affiliations. He
spoke also Of the strong desire the ne
groes Of North Louisiana had shown to
cast of the carpet-baggers and scala
wags. The Democrats would this year
carry Morehouse, Caldwell, East and
West Baton Rouge, East and West Fe-
liciana, by thousands. He felt certain
they would carry the election.
Messrs. E. D. Henriquez, A. ]. N.
Smith and W. r. Whitaker followed in
elaborate and much applauded speeches.
After the speeches, the members Of
the club enjoyed the refreshments pro-
vided.
The following are the officers Of the
club: President, Peter Blake; Vice
J. Oaks; Secretary, Geo. w.
O'Brien; Treasurer, John Mcknight.

From the st. Louis Republican,
We are permitted to copy the follow
ing letter, received yesterday by Mr.
John G.. Priest, by one Of the leading
delegates to the st. Louis Convention
from New York:
New YoRK, June IL, 1876.
My Dedr Prsest--I am afraid I shaIr
not be able to attend the Convention in
st. Louis. III do not, / shall transfer
friends. My partner leaves for Eng
land On the 2fth, and must be here
But there Is apparently no special rea-
son for my attendance. It is now plain
that Tilden will be nominated very soon
after organization, probably on the
second or third ballot. This result Il.
satisfactory to me, though Mr.. Tildon Isl
not my first choice-but it is so plain 70
me that he Is the embodiment Of the re-
form movement, which is now 80 Inn
portant everywhere, that it is certain he
can carry New York by q large vete,
and Connecticut and New jersey also,
and that there is no one else who stands
anything like an equal chance with
Tilden, that j dare not hazard the sue
cess Of the party, which / believe 20 be-
that OF the country too, by permitting
my personal prejudices to tav0 any
weight.
believe we can win with Hancock 0r
Bayard, and I prefer the latter 70 aIt
others; but there is more doubt With
either than with Tilden.
DO not listen to any nonsense ~ "a
Tilden's inability to carry this State.
He will do so by over thirty thousand
probably with over fifty th0uesnd.
Those who talk differently are ignorant
OF the true feeling here, or have scmo
personal motive; and at the election
you may count all the Democrats o. this
on your hand. Yours truly, 8. l.. ~.

STATE HOUSE,.

Kellogg was not In his office this
morning, having been kept up until a
late hour last night in caucus, studying
his departure. An investigation OF the
city delegates, elected the other day at
the primaries, was made with but little
authentic result. Thirteen or fourteen
delegates, led by the Fourth Ward, are
allowed Warmoth. It is also thought
that Pinchback, who is contestant
from the Eleventh Ward against the
regularly elected and recognized dele
gates, will be admitted by his friends
and sympathizers from the country.
OF the other delegates nothing Is
known, most OF them being new men.
It Is thought that Warmoth will be able
to make some inr0ad, by hook and
crook or money, on the strength OF his
enemies.
It was definitely concluded that the
campaign would be carried on In the

affair is generally regarded as failure

didates OF the Administration wing.
some conclusion was reached, though
what it was Is still uncertain. It Is
thought, however, that some unison was
agreed on. Some Of the candidates talk
in q melancholy manner about their
names being in the hands OF their
friends; others pretend to be surprised
at hearing they were considered as cam
didates--it is news to them-they saw it
in the papers, but really know nothing
about 1t. Probably they will all step
down to make way for tho Boss.
A. p FIELDS ANTICIPATIoSs.
A.P. Field, quasi Attorney General Of
the State, Is convinced that the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, whoever
he may be, will be terribly beaten in
the State. The negroes, he says, in the
la1ge negro parishes will not go to the
polls, except q few hundred, and these
will vote the Democratic ticket. Such
is the present outlook, and such, he is
certain, will be the outlook In Novem-
Der. The United States has promised
to assist the State Government, but,
there being no Government here, 1t can
claim and get no assistance.
Little use, he thought, could be made
of "outrages" in Louisiana. Not man
had ever been prosecuted for them In the
State. There was really no law or gov
ernment in Louisiana. A constable
might take possession OF the State

CITY MATTERS.

| Administrator Landry leaves this
afternoon with the Louisiana delegation
to the st. Louis convention.
The matter OF the Injunction prayed
for by the city against the private mar
ket men was to have came up yester-
day before Judge Lynch, but the time
OF the court was occupied by a jury case
during the entire day, and the market
case went over.
In this connection it may be said on
the authority OF Mr.. Piisbury that there
is due for licenses by the private market
men over ten thousand dollars. The
delinquents, If such they may be called,
are OF that class OF private market men
whose establishments Is are within twelve
blocks OF any public market" (which
is prohibited By the law now being
endeavOr to collect these licenses with
out recognizing the right OF these mar
ket men TO establish themselves
wherever they please. On the other
hand, all efforts have heretofore failed
to enforce the law providing for remov-
Ing the private markets twelve blocks
from any public market.
Regarding the sale Of the revenues Of
the public markets, the bids for which
will be opened at 10 o'clock on the 9th
little time is afforded to the purchaser
to complete his arrangements between
the date OF the acceptance OF his bid
and the first OF June, the day on which
he i5 expected to take possession OF the
markets. The complaining persons ask
for modification OF the ordinance
in order that more time shall
be allowed the purchaser to sign the
contract and arrange for the collection
OF rents, etc. The difficulty, however,
that offers itself is, that to comply with
their request would entai! delay Of an
entire month in the sale OF the revenues,
under the published ordinance, and the
annoyance Of selling the revenues for
the month Of June alone, whilst it is
deemed urgent by the city administra-
ton that the sale on the three or five
year plan shall be proceeded with at
once.
In the committee of the whole, held
yesterday, the wharf lease question. was
not touched upon, as was expected, and
nothing will be done until Monday, at
the earliest, when the Injunction asked
for by Nj. Michael Carvin, to prohibit
the city from making any reduction in
the wharf dues, comes up in the Supe-
rior District Court. Should the injunc-
ton be refused, there will be
three or more plans brought be-
fore the committee to settle the
question Of the Ellerman lease among
them one by Mr.. Pilsbury, which will
propose to- resell the contract with an
extension OF two or three years, condi-
toned that the wharfage dues will be
reduced; another by Mr.. Burke. Mr.
Burke's proposition is that the city shall
cancel the Ellerman contract and reas-
sumo its obligations to the wharf bond
holders. Mr.. Burke's plan also in
cludes the filing up OF considerable
aren of che batture above Canal street,
thereby reciaiming valuable property,
materially improve the city treasury.
