California for Blaine Forever.

Especial telegram to the Dspatch.l
CHICAGO, June 4.-The Convention adj
mitted the Alabama contestants, and Grant
negatiyed. Two hours were given to ILL
nos. The most noticeable thing to-day
was the wild applause, exceeding anything
before heard, when California announced
her purpose 10 vote for Blaine forever. The
indications are ~ given last night, but are
more decided.
The HeraId's Opinion Yesterday.
NEW YORK, June 1. The Heralds leading
editorial says According to present appear
ances the withdrawal OF General Grant from
the contest at Chicago has become merely
a question OF time and OF method. There
are three ways ny which his name could
be taken out o, the canyass-Grst, by his
own voluntary and individual withdrawal
in letter or telegram directed TO Senator
Logan, bis principal champion in his own
State second, by the united action Of his
supporters In the Convention; third, by the
breaking up and scattering OF the body OF
delegates devoted 10 bis interest. or
such desertions from their number as
would make a m,iority for some other
candidate.
His friends will not subject him TO any
needless humiliation, but they have right
TO protect themselves. BY holding together
and continuing TO vote for him they can
prevent the nomination OF any rival with
out their consent. Although they may be
unable TO nomlnste General Grant, they can
dictate the candidate. They may hope TO
prevent tie success OF Blaine in any
event, and when Ednunds or Sherman
or some dark horse has gained votes
enough TO enable the Grant pbalanx TO
turn the scale in his favor they can
make almost any terms they please with
bis supporters. They will thus be
enabled TO maintain their position and pres.
tge In the party, and 10 retain their infiu-
ence In their own States. This Is what they |
will fight for from the moment they are con- |
WINGED that the nomination OF their candi. |
date Is impossible. General Grant could
disconcert and illustrate this plan by an-
Douncing that he 10 no longer candidate; |
but his personal honor and sense OF fidelity |
10 friends preclude him from taking such !
step. He will continue to be candidate until
bis supporters think Il wise 10 Withdraw |
him. They will not 60 over to Blaine, who
has ioiIed them; they will not 60 over
10 Wahburne, who has excited their dis.
trust; but they may give their strength TO
Edmunds, who hiss not been unfSiepdIy,. or |
even TO Sherman II he should develop |
strength enough 10 make him formidable
eompetitor Of Blaine. They might prefer !.

The Valenzuell Fair.

EDITOR CHIEF:
On Sunday last, in company with the
DonaldsonvilIe independent Brass Band,
/ paid visit to the Valenzusla fair.
After pleasant (,) ride behind a balky
horse, on wretchedly muddy road, we
arrived at the fair at about 6 in the af-
ternoon and our eyes were dazzlet by al
array Of beauty dressed in feminine
clothing, snch as we had never seen be-
fore. Assumption cap boast of possess
ing the finest lot Of girls Of any parish in
the State.
As soon MS the band could be collected
together several tunes were played which
tended great deal to enliven the people,
who, on account Of the incle1nent wealth
er, had fallen in a settled gloom. The
concert was success both in a pecuni-
airy and artistic sense. Such musical
artists as Mrs. Israel, Mrs. Leblanc, Mrs.
Leche, and Drs. Claverie and Friedrichs
and Mr.. Leo. Blanchard taking parts, it
could not be any thing but successful.
Jack Terrio's cornet solo was rendered
in a manner that did great credit to the
performer. ] have it from reliable
source that the fair netted the nice little
sum Of twelve hundred dollars. As the
clock struck the hour of midnight we
entered Donaldsonvil1e on our return, a
great many of the boys having left their
hearts and all their pocket-change at the
Eair-and allow me to state that the I'M
dersig ned was no exception.

FUNNY CROWD.-Jcrry sullivan,
Gloster Hill and our indomitable, EN-
phatic and incomprchensible young friend
4. ?. Dominique, gathered a few of their
friends and relations together at Blue
Bucket Hall to-day, and VITA q fine
sense of humor dubbed themselves Re-
publican parish convention, we,,, through
the form of electing a .lclcgatu>Eto the
State convention, authorized Chester to
appoint a parish executive c(Inhnitee,
listened to dissertations from ,erw and
Gloster on every thing in gel fslM anu
nothing III particular, and adjourned.
The funniest part of the affair is the Err-
sonnet of their delegation which is as
follows:
Morris Marks, head of u department. in
the New Orleans Custonl-Ho,se, hand
soonest ex-Presidential Elector in the
State and All enthusiastic admirer of
President Hayes civil service reform
order.
A. r. Dominique, employee i'll said de-
partment Of said Custom-Housc and the
faithful coalilltor of Marks in any and
all political manipnations which the
latter may desire to make in Ascension.
G. II Hill, who is represented in an
other department of said Custom-House
by a cousin, chronic bolter aud kicker
whose only idea of Il Republican party is
d lot of people enthusiastically boosting
! the Hill family into prominence and
| offices.
| J. Jerry Sullivan, who is said to be
promised IL position in the Custom House
aforesaid if he vigorously abets Hill in
setting up sham Republican organiza-
ton in Ascension, and whose achieve
/ ments as !, town office: form one Of the
brightest pages OF our municipal history.
In next issue we shall give a full ac-
count of the proceedings of this sham
convention and show how and of whom
/ it was constituted. Then people at a
distance will have opportunity Of learn
| ing what is already known here, that
the members represented nobody but
| themselves, that they were not accred-
tied to any convention by Republicans
or any other class people, and that they
held the slceplest, tamest and most far
cical confab imaginable. Judge Chez
vers was summoned from New Orleans
to give the affair some life and tone, but
he wisely declined to have any thing to
do with the movement. Without the CO.

The history Of the late war has yet to
be written, as events crowded so rapidly
on each other that the mainsprings of
the actions of the leaders on each side
are but just now being brought to light,
aud the truth of history vinlicated after
strife and clamor of factious quarrels
have passed away. The book by the late
General j. B. HOOP, which is advertised
in another column, gives much light on
the inner life of secession, as seen by an
actual participant.
