The Louisiana republican convention which
met to-day at Baton Rouge, will nominate a full
state ticket, as that policy has been determined
upon by the leaders. The republicans do not
expect to elect single candidate upon their
ticket, but they say they propose to put their
party in good lighting trim for next year. Until
a week or two ago they had hoped for split in
democratic ranks that would give them at
least some show OF success, but the democrats
have closed up in solid column and will carry
the state as usual. There is point OF conten-
ton within the republican party, and it is quite
probable that it will crop out vigorously in
the convention. The internal fight Is for
control OF the state delegation to the national
republican convention next year. Friends of
Gen. Grant have been actively at work for some
time endeayoring TO secure the election OF Grant
delegates TO the state convention, which will
choose state committee. Secretary Sherman'S
friends have not been less active, but the Grant
men speak confidently OF their ability to carry
everything for their favorite with hurrah.
The action OF the convention will indicate very
decisively which Will win the delegation next
year. The party leaders decided, before the
meeting OF the convention, to nominate for gov
ernor Judge Beattie, prominent and respected
business man OF New Orleans, but the contest
over the Presidential delegation may lead TO the
choice OF another man.

The proportion OF 1lliteracy In the south to the
population has furnished theme for numerous
writers, and as rule they seem inclined to
draw the most hopeless conclusions as far as the
education OF that section is concerned. To an
impartial student of the statistics and condition
of that section the outlook Is even hopeful, and
the progress made since the curse of slavery was
removed even satisfactory. The report of DR..
Sears, agent at the south for the trustees of the
Peabody fund, shows that in the states Of yir-
g1nia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, louisiana Texas,
Arkansas, Tennessee and West Virginia the
total number of white children regularly
attending the public schools Is !, 2O9 $780, and
the total number of regular attendants
among the colored children 6O4,7O9 1t
may be said that these figures are not
very satisfactory when the whole number of
population, white and colored, OF school age is
teen years ago it was an offense against the laws
In the south to educate colored child Then,
too. the bankrupt condition of these states just
after the war, the difficulty OF raising money to
maintain public schools and the prejudice that
still existed against negro education must be
considered. In view Of all this 1t must be adj
mitted that the fact that over 600 900 colored
children are being regularly educated at the
public expense in those states Is an evidence of
progress. The fact too, that over POO 900 white
children are being educated at public schools is
no less gratifying. Even in 1865, at the close of
the war, the prejudice among the whites
against free schools was as extensive as
1t had been ten years before. People
of the poorer classes entertained the fool
1sh idea that there was something degrading in
sending their children to free schools 1t is not
probable that many the children of rich parents
are among the number now attending public
Schools and therefore the conclusion Is that
over million children of the poor classes are
getting an education that will make them supe-
rior In all the walks of life to their parents. Be
fore the war there was tax levied in the south
for school purposes, but 1t was not used to MAIN
tain public schools 1t was divided among the
parents in proportion to the number Of children
they sent to school This system pampered the
prejudice against free schools which is now so
rapidly yielding to an apparent desire to educate
the young.

Some of the veteran politicians are warning
the Pennsylvania republicans not to rely too
confidently on success this fall by reason merely
of the republican ground swell. They are re-
minded that last year there was greenbaek
vote in the state of nearly OOO OF which at least
$4,000 will this year go back to the old parties.
This, it is estimated will give 10000 to the DEM
ocrats and %, 900 to the republicans; and In this
way the republican majority Of last year, 2,353,
will be wiped out completely, unless the latter
reinforce their ranks by some active recruiting.
The republican state committee, however, from
their canvass of the counties, estimate their ma
jority this fall at about % 900, or nearly the same
as that of last year.

According to the Louisville Co'uier-Jouriaal,

Thurman's Kentucky champion, in view Of
the "crushing defeat" in Ohio which shelves
Thurman, now comes out for Tilden as the
democratic candidate for the presidency,-that
Is, If he carries New York this fall. Still, he
does not seem to dote on Tilden. He says he
thinks Tilden will "force his nomination on the
party" Should he lose New York, however, Mr..
Blackburn thinks the democracy would go far
West for man to suit the emergency, and that
the choice would fall, perhaps, on David Davis,
Of Illinois, or Justice Field, OF California

to the effect that Governor-elect Foster may be

would be mistake. Mr.. Foster made good run
for governor, and Will make a good officer in
that position, but Ohio has at least dozen
prominent republicans who would make better
