Conversation Party Extraordinary.

Communicated.
Perhaps I have little item Of news that
may not be altogether void of interest. A
very phlanthropic sable brother, residing
in the vicinity Of Haynesville, conceived
the happy and worthy purpose of minister
ing to the social culture Of his race, and
invited quite number Of "the elite" of his
people to join his family az Converse
ton Party" and forbid all such indecorous
behavior as dancing and foolish ginning
around" thereby lowering the standard of
high-toned christian morals. But il seems
that some uncouth gentlemen, having but
seized with q spasmodic affection Of the
feet and legs, accompanied by some pecu-
liar contnrtions Of body. The host used
promptly his authority TO correct this grave
irregularity. and met with formidable OPP
position. After appealing to their nobler
instincts without success, he resorted to
more convincing and tangible arguments,
such as drawn axes, chunks of tire, &c,
which reused the ire Of his guests who pur-
sued him into his house and to his bed,
where, after founcing like a newly caught
fish. he received severe cut on the arm,
escaped under the bed, lifted plank and
made his exit from the house. The festivi-
ties and joys of the occasion were some
what marred By these unlocked for circum-
stances. These are about the particulars
as far As I have gathered them. c.

Held for Murder.

The colored..man William Thomas, whose
arrest was noticed in the GUARDIAN Of
week before last, has been committed to
the parish jail by Judge Scott TO answer
to the charge Of murder Of Bill Grigsby.
The killing was done about an hour before
day. The dying declarations Of deceased
were received in evidence. He stated be-
fore his death that be recognized Bill
Thomas and that he had killed him. In
addition to this evidence comparison was
made Of tracks found at the spot where
IN" murderer stood with the shoes of
ihomas and they correspondent exactly.
This proof was sufficient to commit the
accused notwithstanding the attempted
abb.

A Political Look Ahead.

The following article is taken
from the n. o. Daily Times and is
published as a matter Of news, and
as such will be of interest to our
readers as indicating tue state Of
feelings at the State capital. 1t will
be specially interesting to chronic
politicians and office seek ers who
will find in it data of Importance to
make up their trade list of opinions
for the fall custom:
1t is only a few months until the
campaign Of 1873 will he opened.
1t will be interesting as the first
contest since the overthrow OF Rad
icalism. If there should he no Rad
ical party in the field and no split
in the solid conservative front.
which redeemed the State, the
struggle for Offices as well as for
measures will be wholly inside OF
the Democratic organization.
Whatever may occur, however,
regarding the State election, il is
almost certain that there will be all
opposition organization in the city
1t is already in existence and is qui'
city perfecting its plans, not to con
troll the Democratic ward clubs, but
to openly oppose them.
Ita central idea 10 that - native

is rs good as foreigner bat net

to candidates lifting themselves into
Office on the strength Of their nativ.

tutes u minority Of the white voters
OF the city, and is already feeling
it's way to take the negro vote un.
der its wing.
Then there rs q reputation party
forming. This element don't pro
pose to use any words. Its platform
will consist wholly of figures One
plank will be $50 mills,7 which is
the tax New Orleans is called on to
pay. The other will be 40 Mills
which is the tax they propose to
pay.
The prospect is that the Demo.
cratic party will be the imitation
party in this State, aud that if this
issue is continued through the cam.
paign the hard money Democrats
will have to vote for imitation can.
didates, or 60 outside of their party.
Gen. Gibson is the most prominent
man of this class, and what he is to
do is a puzzle. How he is TO I've q

Congress without renouncing hard
money is one Of those things "no
fellah can find out"

something by delivering the colored
