METER IL LEvY.-lJ is gratifying in the
~ trome to lean that this firm, composed
Of two OF Donaldsonville's most esteemed
young citizens, is meeting with much sue
cess in st. James. The Grandeury store
has always beesi popular stand, and as
Messrs Meter & Levy have enlarged and
retitted the interior Of the establishment in
handsome style, besides greatly increasing
the size and variety CT the stock OF goods,
it is not surprising that they have already
taken leading position among the mer-
chants Of st. James. We believe they will
soon be known as the proprietors of the
largest and best supplied store on the coast
between New Orleans and Donaldsonville,
and that the people Of st. James will find it
Jnora ndvantagenn to purchase of them
than to go away from home for their dry
goods, provisions, groceries and other sup
plies.

AT NEW CUMBERLAND.
A Chatty Letter from a Lively Little
Town.


New CUMBERLAND, W. Va, September 20.
The fall season, just set in. has brought
with ita fair yield of fruit to this locality.
Peaches have been good and apples promise
10 De some what better than the light yield
Of last year.
one cannot but notice that this town is
peculiarly blessed with a thrifty, we'll to
do class Of citizens. In fact there is no
place of its size in the State where the eI-
tremes Of wealth and poverty present
themselves in contrast less marked than
here. AS proof Of this the laboring men
are to q considerable extent property hold
ers, and thus the interest OF this torn of
capital is distributed among the more deserv'
ing classes and not, as elsewhere, erasped by
greedy few. Yet with all these favorable
circumstances the town is we'll weighted
with few Disadvantages. Having no rail-
road it cannot keep pace with other points
in the rapid march of the progress OF to-
day, although they may be no better stu
ated naturally than here but blessed with
good railroad facilities. However, some OF
the business men here claim that even this
long prayed for boone would have been Sc
cured had it not been for some blatant
newspaper correspondents who have led
railroad men to believe that the moneyed
men here would build aud equip the road
and then pay some railroad company to
take it off their hands. Such is not the
case. Men are not so liberal with their cap
ital, and railroad men misled 5y these
fiatteripg and windy newspaper articles
have visited here in vain.
The community realizes what benefits it
might derive from q railroad aud will give
its share towards securing one, but the peO-
fne prospects.

CINCINNATI, September 20.-Last evening
the conference committees from the two
factions OF the Democratic party met, &C.

Hon. Isaac NJ. Jordan. AS predicted in
these columns, there was no chance OF a
compromise, and the meeting adjourned
without accomplishing anything The
Highland House conferees asked for two
days time when the meeting closed
on uonjay night, end the pro-
ceedings yesterday demonstrated clearly
why so much time was asked. A
meeting of the Mclean Executive Com
mittee was called for yesterday afternoon.
to which the Highland House candidates
were all summoned. They were there, and
the subject of a compromise was discussed.
Reporters generally, and Commercial ga.
zette reporters particularly, were denied
admission, and for several hours a pro-
miscuous expression OF opinions was listen
ed TO. The ultimatum of the Reformers,
the Withdrawal of both tickets, was
submitted to the meeting, and was
voted down, How this result was accom-
plished can not be said but. when the
public avowals OF some Of the candidates
favoring a new Convention are considered,
il looks as though boss had something to
say. and the idea that the whip was yigor'
ously applied meets with general favor.
" neither or not there were any persuasive
arguments used must be left to the indi'
vioual minds Of the public, but the con-
| fidence displayed among insiders that the

mapped out and that the strength and

M'lEAN AND HALsTEAD.
The Fight Between Them sui Con-
times.


CINCINNATI, September 20-The Enquirer
says to-day: Halstead and Smith, of the
Commercial Gazette, have taken political
controversy into the Chamber of Commerce.
As We stated yesterday, the quarrel between
the papers was commenced by Halstead
who took the editorial "jimjams'' about
the time Of the regular Democratic County
Convention at the Highland House, aud
has been frothing and fuming ever since.
Halstead had, week prior to that time,
been snubbed in the Radical convention;
not only snubbed, but compelled to
signify his adhesion to Ia ticket which ne
Enquirer had been influential in prevent
ing the nomination at the Highland House
of q pledged and purchased slate, Halstead
became frantic with rage, and has since
wildly and diurnaly attacked the Enquir-
er, printing calumnies about its editor,
and using every means in his power TO in
lure its business He jumped in and took
The Side OF the kiekers
in Democratic quarrel, not because he
had any interest in the fight but because
he wanted a pretexe for railing against the
Emo uirer. He desired to have monop-
oily. He wanted to vent his hatred on
other PEOPLE and be exempt from attack
himself. He is hog in this respect as he
is inrhfs personal relations. In return for
the Commercial Gazette's lies the En-.
quirer gave the truth about Halstead
and his paper. He can't bear the truth.
He took into the Chamber OF Commerce a
quarrel which he brought on by n vicious

Just as much propriety, have taken his

to the Chamber of Commerce to take up
political quarrel-showed that ne had sut.
fered defeat. He was knocked out" but
the Enquirer assumes no credit for that.
All that was necessary was TO persist in the
truth and Halstead was bound to go down.
He went down this time in very ugly po-
sition, and made a naught exhibition of
himself. The pliability of his bowels alone
Saved him from destruction.

A New Precedent.

WAsHISGToN, September 2O-The papers
in the case Of Captain Cress, of the ordi-
nance Corps, recently court-msrtialed, are
upon the desk Of Secretary Lincoln await
ing attention. The trial Of Cress was a
novel one and establishes an entirely new
precedent in the army. Cress was in
charge of the barracks at San Antonio.
Last year he made estimates for a new
building extending the army quarters un-
der his charge. He estimated the cost Of
this addition at $4,000, and so wrote to
Secretary Lincoln. The Secretary asked
Congress for the money and the exact
amount was appropriated. A short time
ago Captain Cress reported that the build
ing called for several thousand dollars
above the original estimate, and then
cColly added that ii would take $4,000 to
complete the building Never before has
an army officer been called to an account
for such criminal carelessnesS. Captain
Cress will be reprimanded in general
orders.
