in Louisiana-A Protest Against the Fed
eral Supervision of Elections in Cincin-
nati-Congressional Nominations.
Louisiana Politics.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 19.-The adjournment of
the Republican State convention is reported to
have been the result of the influence of the
present State committee, who desired to retain
their power until the 18th, and of the custom
house officials who were afraid of the resolu-
tions proposed by Buries and other colored
delegates, who were determined to denounce
Hayes and the custom house. The convention
will not reassembe, and the State Central COM
mittee will publish an address which is delayed
by disagreements upon financial questions,
many members contending that yielding to the
Greenbackers will ALLEVIATE Northern Republic
cans. The Republican Congressional committee
of the Fonrth district nominated j. Madison
Wells, and T. @. Anderson in the Sixth Ludi-
ling was nominated in the Fifth some time ago.
Castellano, the National Greenbacker, was en-
dorsed by the Republican congressional COM
mittee of the First district, and the third
congressional convention will re-assemble.
Cullen, National Greenbacker, leads in the
Second district, supported by Wells and Ander-
son, but is opposed by Dibble and other hard
money Republicans. Parkinson, Greenbacker,
leads in the Third district. Morris Marks, col
Iector of internal revenue, is spoken of the
Administration candidate.
The National State convention assembled
to-day. Nearly half of the members act
ing with Wells and Anderson and the custom
house. Four-ffths of the delegates are COM
paratively unknown men in political circles.
1t is reported that communications have passed
two and from Gen. Beauregard, who was
solicited to submit his name for nomination
as State treasurer by the Nationals, with as
surance of endorsement by the Republican
convention. Gen. Beauregard's friends say be
will not allow his name to be used for Wells
and Anderson's schemes, but the custom house
officials assert that he will accept if nominated.

when the hall was cleared and dancing
was the next thing in order. Good mu.
sic was furnished. n number OF Piper's
orchestra and other musicians offering
their services free. Ernest Hall acted
as prompter In the most acceptable
manner.
Below We give a list OF ladies who as
sisted the good cause by contributions OF
articles and services.

from a trip to Portland. Oregon. lie
reports that one Of the prettiest and
l~ivelisst places on the coast. Coming
homo he was q passenger on the steamer
Ancon. which ran into and sank the
schooner Phil. Sheridan. Mr.. Rice
describes the scene ~ n OF great eI.
element. Everyone had in mind the
terrible particulars OF the disastrous col.
lision on the river Thames, and the fear
Of n REPETITION Of such an event was
natural. The steamer was crowded
with passengers, but only a few persons
were aboard tho schooner. When the
vessels came together Captain Budd aud
wife managed TO get FROM the
schooner 10 the steamer. Mrs. killops
in trying to do the same thing, fell be-
tween the boats and came near being
drowned. Mr.. Rice was the first to OF.
fer his assistance. Selling a life'pre-
server, he threw il over and immedi-
aiely jumped after 1t. The woman got
the preserver 40 low down on her body
that her head was forced under the wa.
ter, and she was in danger Of instantly
drowning. Mr.. Rice was doing what he
could. when he was joined and assisted
by Mr.. Douglass. second officer OF the
steamer, and the woman was righted and
the trio picked up by the boat. which
had been lowered. The was
with difficulty restored to consciousness.
The collision occurred between 4 and o
o'clock in the morning. and the men
were in good condition for swimming,
all Of them being in their night clothes.
Our readers are already well aware that
tho schooner was sunk. No lives lost.
