Evans, excited no great interest outside in
terested circles. The managers have got
in all their direct testimony, save that of
Evans; but it is likely that the best part of
next week will have been consumed before
the end is reached. believe majority of
those who have watched the trial do not
think conviction probable.
The two or three past days and nights.
which have been comparatively cool, are
succeeded to-day by very hot weather
again. Were it not for the party interests
involved, Congress would adjourn before
Saturday night. As it is neither party,
though showing many symptoms of ex-
haustion, manifests the most remote dis
position to yield. MAXWELL.

They did this duty we'll, and truth was
subordinsted to vividness in their portrayal
The Democratic delegations, fresh from
'this people" are On route or will leave to-
| day for Baton Rouge. Our reporters will
nothing extenuate, nor aught set down in
malice" but if the sad evidences of bargain
and sale which, yesterday, were manifest to
the most casual observer are to be taken as
indications of the conduct and impulse of
the convention, reform, outside Of tho Re-
pablican party, is the merest of catchwords
and shams.
That the friends and supporters of Mr..
Wiltz held the day so far as city strength
goes, no one can deny. That there was Q
detection caused by bribery and promises,
seemed generally conceded last night.
Such contest as is now going on in the
ranks of our opponents promises anything
but good for Louisiana.
B. F. Jonas will not have the support of
the Wilt men for temporary chairman of
the convention, as promised by q contem-
porsry. He can't carry all his own ward
for it.
w. w. Pugh seems generally looked upon
as man whom all can trust Certainly he
has done the fair thing in the past. The
contesting delegations are of more import
ance than usual this time, however. If
Wilt should be beaten by half rotes, his
friends could hardly be expected to take
the defeat quietly. While there seems to
have been no concerted action, individual
expression indicates that row in such a
contingency is by no means improbable.
If Mr.. Estillette is nominated for Con-
gress in the sixth district, as seems prob
able, he will receive an exceptionally large
vote. The dissatisfaction with the way in
which Mr.. Nash was put on the Republican
ticket will conduce largely to his election
if it be possible in that district to elect a
Democrat at all.
Mr.. Texada is graphically described as
bald headed, clear-hesded, levelheaded
man. If he takes second place on the ticket
to Mr.. Wilt, he will be snatched bald
headed in November, so part of the descrip-
ton will be true.
General B. B. SHINES, Frank Hatch, Tom
Bynum, Ed. Burke and half q dozen others
can fix up satisfactory ticket. just give
the boys chance.
The way the second ward short-hairs
curse at the counting in of Duncan F. Ken
ner makes the atmosphere feel full of cleo
tricity. 1t beats anything done in the "good
old davs" of Slidell
