KELLOGG AND REATTIE.

Let the Republicans ofsthe Third Dis
trict ponderfor a moment upon the con,
trast presented by The utterances of SEN
ator Kellogg and Judge Beattie-before
The conventions that placed them IN
nomination for Congress.
Senator Kellogg, having just received
the unanimous vote of a convention reg
ularly aud legally constituted, contain
ing sixteen ont Of twenty-ts:;a zuncontes-
ted delegates and represent all che
Republican parishes of tile district, as
well as two of the Democratic parishes,
declared his readiness to Withdraw from
the field at any time such step would
insure Republican harmony and success,
and fisAd his hearty support to who
ever fn!,ht be selected as a compromise
candidate.
Judge Beattie, on he~ssher hand,
holding a nomination from n irregular
and boiling convention thu u had only
a half dozen uncontested defs-<tes, four
of whom were appointed by himself-a
convention III which six parishes had no
representation, and four of these heavily
Republican-boastfully proclaimed that
he would listen to no propositions Of
compromise, but would be candidate
from that hour until the ballot boxes
closed OIL the 18th of November.
One would sacrifice his personal aspi-
rations and relinquish an honorable and
well earned distinction for the sake of
uniting his party and securing its tri-
umph; the other boldly announced rule
or ruin policy and declared in effect that
he must be elected to Congress or the
Republicans should he defeated in the
only district of the State where they
have an undisputed majority. How can
amy Republican hesitate in making a
choice between these two?
There are other respects in which
Judge Beattie would suffer by contrast
with Senator Kellogg, but this one i'll
stance will suffice for the present. If the
candidates were equally meritorious
otherwise, the difference to which we
have called attention ought to be ade-
qnate to determine the course of the Re-
publican voters of the district.

BUSINESS PoLITIcs.--T The New Orleans
CITY Item reports that at a recent gather
ing of seaside sejonrners at one of the
summer resorts. on Mississippi Sound, the
congressional contest i'll the Third Lou
isi;t7ia District came under discussion aud
some surprise was caused by the declar:.-
ton of two prominent planters, residents
ct the district, that they intended to vote
for aad advocate the election of Senator
Kellogg. They took the ground that
politics have become largely !; matter Of
material interests, that the welfare of The
district would be best promoted by hav-
ing Kellogg for its representative, and
that this feeling is much more wide
spread than the politicians imagine.
With them, it is fifty said, Cuisines is
politics, prosperity is patriotism

COL. ROBERTsON's DEFEAT,

Apropos of the declaration of Congress
man Robertson before the Sixth District
Congressional convention that the adop-
ton of the two-thirds rulo was unprece-
dented in the politics of Louisiana, the
Iberyille South says:
If our memory serves us Alright, at Demo-
cratic convention held at Brusly Landing in 1856,
to nominate q candidate for Judge OF the dis
tT1ct composed of the parishes of East and West
Baton Rouge and Iberyille, Mr.. Robertson, who
was one of the delegates from lherville, at
Rouge by adopting the two-thirds rule. Failing
IN this. are not certain, but we believe our
honorable friend bolted the convention and
helped to elect Judge Bcale, the independent
candidate, who was elected by considerable
majority.
Has Congressman Ed, after many days,
been hoistcd by his own petard9 Has
his two-tllirds chicken come home to
roost and yex him with a claim of pater-
nifty I? However this may be, we are I'M
able to reconcile with common sense or
fairness the course of the East Baton
Rouge delegates in the recent convention.
Elected as friends of Mr.. Robertson and
avowed1y supporting him for nomination,
they united with his opponents to adopt
the unusual two thirds rule and thus
made his success impossible. Under the
customary mode of procedure he would
have been declared the candidate of the
convention, as he received q majority
vote on one of the earliest ballots, but
he was slaughtered in the house of his
friends, either through preconcerted
treachery or blunder that it scarcely
seems credible intelligent men in posses
sion of their senses could have committed.
While great dissatisfaction is expressed
| throughou the district at the manner in
which Col. Robertson was beaten, it is
but fair to say That the nomination of
that splendid gentleman, Hon. Andrew
| S. Heron, seems to have been received
| with universal approval in Democratic
| circles. He would he nj hard man to beat
under amy circumstances, and Republican
! discussions in the Sixth District promise
him a veritable "-walk- over" in Novem-
| Der next

/ Besides apAeancing in his speech before

following formal letter of acceptance to
Judge Fontelieu, chairman Of the con-
vention:

Sri have received your communication of

Such assurances of the united support Of our

that it is my duty to accept the nomination thus
rendered.

This will definitely set arrest the base
less rnmor which the Beattie boilers have
been indnstriously circulating, that Sena-
tor Kellogg would decline the nomination.
The wish was father to the thought, of
course, but the disorganizers are not to
he gratified. The Senator declares Il
belief that it is his duty to accept this
candidacy, and his record shows that he
is not the man to shirk duty to bis
party or the people.
He has gone North for a months rest
after his arduous, protracted and brilliant
Senatorial labors during the recent ses-
sion of Congress. At the expiration of
that period he will return to Louisiana
and enter upon a thorough and vigorous
canvass Of this district, accompanied by
number of distinguished speakers AS
the New Orleans ProtectioRist pithily
says, "If there be any thing left Of the
boilers by the first Of October, they will
hear music"
