The Compromise.

AS was stated III last week 3 is
sue the Democratic Executive
Committee had, on February 10
effected a compromise with the
opposite party by which each par
ty was to select 4nd run but one
candidate for Delegate to the
Constitutional Convention, in the
ninth Senatorial District, and in
the Parish of LatOnrche.
The delegates to the Senatorial
Convention nominated Clay Kno-
bloch as the Senatorial candidate,
and the Republicans nominated
Mayer Cahen rs the Senatorial
candidates.
The Democratic Central Com
mittec selected /. D. Moore us

To this latter proceeding some
objections were made, by persons
who claimed that the Central

The Neu Orleans Times grows

The NeW Orleans Times grows
witty over the statement that
Acklen had to be carried INFO the
House of Representatives,, being
too i'll to walk, that Gibson was in
his seat in spite of his ply sician's
advice, aud that Elan hObbled to
his seat on crutches, in order to
vote upon the important qnes-
tions before Congress in its clos
ing days. The Times may laugh at
such things and make tun OF
those members of Congress, but
if they had remained in their
rooms and permitted the Repub-
licans to carry out their Internal
schemes, the Times would have
been too supremely happy to
laugh even. The sspner the Times
comes ont and announces itself a
Radical Organ the sooner its read
ers will begin to fancy that it ex.
presses its true sentiments.
