The Louisiana Campaign.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION POSTPONED.
There being no quorum in the louisiana re-
publican state convention at New Orleans, on
accc unit of the quarantine which would pre-
vent members from returning to their par
iShes, it was decided that the chairman of the
state central committee should call cOnven-
ton to assemble at some future time. Con-
greSsiOnal conventions will be held in the re-
Spectlye districts. In the first district AriS
tide MOrey, it is asserted, can be nominated if
he wishes it, and Gov. Hahn in the second
These districts, however, may indofse Castle
man and Cullom, nominated by the nationals
Robert o. Hebert. The fifth district has IS
already nominated Gen. T. c. Anderson.
THE NATIONAL PARTY,
headed by Mr.. Frank Hatch, an old democrat
and collector OF the port of New Orleans be-
fore the war, has telegraphed to General
Beauregard, who is now in New York, offering
him the place at the head of the state ticket
in opposition to Major E. A. Burke, the regu-
lar democratic nominee. The solid negro vote
IS pledged to General Beauregard in this Of
Ter, as there has been fusion between the
nationals and republicans. 1t is understood
that the republican convention will make no
nominations, but will allow the nationals to
nominate the state and county tickets, as they
did two Congressional candidates from city
districts. The number of registered voters is
now about twelve thousand, of whom the ma
t1OnalS claim 1.50O and over five thousand are
negroes. 1t is believed the fever will hinder
large number OF democratic refugees from
registering in time to vote. Registry closes
on the 10th.
THE OLD TACTICS.
The United States marshal has arrested all
the registration clerks Of the Sd ward on war
rants based upon atidavits made before the
United States commissioner by members of
the national party. The warfare in this line
promises to be active, as the democrats are
prosecuting negroes for false registration.

forth in single huge column. and the town
was submerged in few minutes. Bridges,
lumber and coal piles, and in fact all things
movable were borne away by the food. The
villagers were aroused by the crashing in OF
windows and doors and the rush of a current
of muddy water carrying sticks, coal and
stones through their houses A scene of the
widest excitement followed.
SEVERAL PERSONS ARE REPORTED LOST,
and ii is said that two bodies, one of a woman
and the other OF child, have been washed
up on the river bank three miles helowth the
town. Great numbers fled from their houses
and escaped through the rushing waters TO
the high grounds. Many of these were i'm
