AS the canvass progresses, it be-
comes more and more evident that
Gov. 8. D. McBnery has the strongest
backing, By long odds, than anyone
yet mentioned in connection with the
next governoFship of Louisiana. This
opinion ID not given with the idea
that it may influence those of our
readers who have not as vet, perhaps,
determined upon the support of either
Of the two prominent candidates in
the field, but is the result of close and
careful observation, so far as the means
of observing is at our command. The
tone of the press, and of their CORE
spondents scattered throughout the
state, may be safely relied upon as
voicing the sentiment of the people.
This being true, it is not TO be denied
that Gov. McEuery is stronger TO-DAY
than all of his opponents combined.
That he will go into the convention
with sufficient support to nominate
him on the first ballot, We honestly
believe. The Echo Is firmly of the
opinion that the real contest will be
between Gov. McE"ory and cx-Gov.
Nichols; aud it does not fear the
issue. 1t hasn't the rcmotcst idea .
that Gen Ogden will remain a candi-
date to the end. IT. truth. it does not |
believe that the latter gentleman in
tended from the beginning a serious
and earnest canvass. It looks now
more like his candidacy was a move
Of the Nichols faction in order to
feel the public pulse. This is the
We have been lead to
place upon the matter, at all events,
passed upon the expressions of the
Picayunc and the lesser lights who
'avor the Nicholls-Ogdcn combination.
And these journals, as well as their
'ollowers, will learn when it is too
ate that this policy has been mis-
AIKEN and most disastrous one for the
interests Of their candidate. General
Nichols chances for the nomination
would have been more favorable by
ar had he, and his friends for him,
anne boldly ont and announced then
maDfully and IN, quiy"cajjy
nd not attempted to make the fghI

rs stated, the real contest is between ,
IcEucry and Nichols. Nome VIII" {
re abroas, with the canvass will deny
his; and the Echo reiterate, that il
ocs not fear the issue We place
mt precious little confidence in the
rotcstations Of those Journals favor =
1g the caIdidacy of Gen. Nichols,
D the effect that the general is not t
and does not seek the
flee. We freely confess that this Il
pinion is not in keeping with those .
Ivanccd by this Journal at the open, Il
e of the canvass, but claim to have f
God and sufficient reasons ior the b
r@ngc. Then, eX-Gov. Nichols gave Il
ut that he could not afford to accept ,

lows: "0n Monday night about mid
night, the 10th inst, Prof. Swift, di-
rector of the Warner Observatory,
Rochester, n. Y, discovered another
comet in the same constellation with
the one recently found by Prof Brooks.
Il is moving almost directly toward
the earth, and hence shows very little
motion, SO that Prof. Swift found it
difficult 10 verify and was unable to
do 50 until last Saturday night. The
two comets viii very likely cross each
others orbits in their progress, and
their appearance so nearly together,

a most singular, If not a significant
fact"
