NEW SPRING AND SUMNER GooDs.-
The New York store have received their
new spring aud summer stock of goods,
and challenge an examination by the
trading public. They have received a
nice line of hats, boots. shoes, CATERS,
etcetera.


They call especial attention to their
assortment of ribbons. such as trimmings
for hats, bonnets, and sash ribbon in all
colors.


The expenses of the house being very
small they can afford to sell with very
small profit, and will prove their ability
in this line to those who favor them with
a call.


Thanking the public for past favors,
they solicit continuance, aud promise
to strive the more earnestly to deserve
the same in the future.

of their side lace serge CATERS made ex-
pressly for the Hickman trade.

The New York Herald, when Bennett
first started it, wasnot much larger than
sheet OF letter paper, but it gave much
light, minute and cheerful news. ItWas

still Bennett had at first q terrible time.

them more than fifty cents for square

the expenses to q minimum. He did
everything himself. He swept out his

he wrote the editorials, the news, the
criticisms. He did the reporting and the

placidly writing, and when any one came

New York, July 90, 1872.
Ethan Allen, Chairman Liberal Republican En-


ecutive Committee.


DEAR SIR-I am instructed by the
united Liberal party of Louisiana to
call your attention to the fact that a
general convention of the voters of the
State, opposed to Grant and favorable
to the election Of Greeley and Brown,
has been called to meet at New Orleans
on the fifth day of August to nominate a
State, congressional and electoral tick
ct, under the banner of national and
State reform and the leadership of
Greeley and Brown. am gratifed to
be able to report that the call, after
having been signed by more than four
thousand voters of the city of New Or
leans, has been numerously and enthu-
siastically responded to throughout the
State by large numbers of voters, in
cluding very many of our best known
and most influential citizens.


I AIN instructed by the United Libe-
raj Committee to say that they indulge
the hope that your committee will ap-
prove of their effort to enlist in this
movement all of the elements opposed
to Grants administration and favorable
to the election of the National Liberal
and Democratic tickets.


Very respectfully,


Representing Liberal Committee of


Louisiana.

Perhaps there was never ticket put
before the people that has created so
little enthusiasm as the State Democratic
ticket that was nominated by the late
Convention. In fact we know of but few
prominent papers throughout the State
that support it with any degree Of en-
thusiasm, those that do support it, seem
to do it because their allegiance to the
party demands it of them, and not be-
cause they think it is the ticket that is
most likely to insure success. The
people seem to think that unless some
thing is done to inspire confidence in the
masses, the radical negro ticket will
carry the State. Looking from this
standpoint, we think the only hope for
the State is in the Convention called to
meet in August, which will be after the
Baltimore Convention has fulfilled its
mission, and hepeOple can have better
knowledge, as to what the interest of
the country demands. One faction of
the Republican party meets in New Or
leans about the same time that the
peoples Convention will assemble, and
there is little doubt that if liberal men
should be nominated, that faction would
endorse the ticket, land thusinsurei it's sue
cess. We hear many blood and thunder
politicians arguing that they had rather
suffer defeat than to be successful by
forming an alliance with such men.
Such talk reminds us of the man, who,
when he discovered his house on fire,
refused to use any but clear water to
put it out, remarking that he had rather
see it entirely destroyed, than to see it
sOiled or stained by the use of muddy or
filthy water. Our beloved State is now
sinking to ruin as fast as corruption and
misrule can carry it, and it behooves
every patriot to exert himself to the ut
most of his ability to redeem it without
regard to the means adopted to accom-
fuses to take part in the redemption of
our State, because he cannot make up
his mind to affiliate with certain men or
parties, displays about the same quality
and quantity of brains, as the man who
suffered his building to be destroyed, be-
cause of conscientious scruples. We
know the people of Louisiana are not
devoid of patriotism, for they gave am
pie proof of their love of country, dur
ing the late war, when they sacrificed
their all for their cOuntry's cause.
Louisiana needs the service of her sons
at the polls now, as much as she needed
them in the army in 1861, and as any,
thing was fair in war, so anything
should be considered right to-day, that
will result in securing an honest admi-
nistration of the State government. Let
everybody, without regard to race,
color or previous condition, come to the
mass meeting to be held on the 18th
inst, and take part in the affair, let us
select delegates to the Convention, in
whose ability and patriotism we have
confidence, and after mature c0nsidera-
ton, let them endorse the present Demo-
cratic ticket if they see proper, but if
they think the interest of the country
demands another ticket, let them put it
forward.

The Bossier Banner, until recently
strongly Democratic, says;


We must confess our inability to un~
rayel the tangled skein of Louisiana
politics. The nominations of the Dem
Ocratlc Convention met with great dis
favor from the public. Seeing this, the
Democratic Central Committee as
sUmes the power to fuse with the petty
faction called RefOrmers and, without
any authority, they give up to the RefOr-
mers one half the ticket. These Refor-
mers could control perhaps a thousand
votes, not more. And, moreover, those
thousand intend to vote for Grant,
This union ticket being thus formed
how is it possible to unite all the anti
Grant men. The Liberal Republicans
are power in, the State, and without
them the Greeley ticket has but small
chance for success. We had thought
that ticket could be fixed up and one
half the Democratic nominees retained
but this late union, and the abuse Nc
Emery has seen proper so lately to heap
on the State administration seems to- us
to have made that impossible. The
Liberals and Democrats then must fuse
regardless of the RefOrmers and what
has been done, and make an entire new
ticket, and that ticket must be strong
Then only could they hope for success
II the Democracy would call another
convention then the Liberals might
effect terms with them. But otherwise
the Democrats may simply have to give
up their organization and go into tha1
of the Liberals.

Baldwin, local OF the Rock Island
Union, who lately visited the glass
works in that city, gets Off this good
thing on Greeley:


Making glass ought to be good ortho-
dox work for il is shotter than blazes." I"
It was pleasant to think, as one saw
the men sEeltering before the fur
naces, that when Horace Greeley is
elected President all that sort of thing
will be done away with. All q man
will have to do then will be to plant q
small phial early in the spring or q
bit of window sash; in the fall he can
pluck quart bottles and rows of win
dow glass of the bushes. To raise dcmi-


Johns of whisky put few kernels of

Dan Voorhees, was nominated by the
Democracy in his district on the 18th
inst. After his nomination he made a
speech in which he said: sIn Opposi-
tion to the nomination of Mr.. Greeley
no one will expect me to now or here
after rctract one word that I have spo-
ken or written upon that subject" -
But he further says that .as l cannot
control the councils ofthe democratic
party l shall submit to them hoping
that time may show it's ways to be
wiser and more beneficial to the coun-
try than l predicted


His sayings, which he declines to
withdraw, are some Of them as follows,
made in Congress May I3th, 1872, ten
days after the nomination Of Greeley:


Parties to be successful must be

much as any one, but there is something

this noblest and truest band ofmen the
world ever saw, enter my protest
against any attempt to transfer to a
camp where they have nothing to gain
and everything to lose.


"Point, whenever you will to an
election district which you will pro-
nonnce morally rotten-given up to
debauchery and vice-and that district
will be found at nearly or every elec-
tion giving large majority for that
which styles the Democratic party"


"Take all the haunts Of debauchery
in the land, and you will find nine-
tenths Of their master spirits active
participants of that same Democracy

A New York Herald reporter sums
up the result of an interview with the
President in the following paragraph


"In reference to the indirect claims
the President thought that America
had gained q triumph over Great Brit
ain. The President regards the North
Carolina prospect as excellent. He
says he goes to Washington when any
government matter requires his pres
ence, but he won't 60 this week. Moth
ing demands a Cabinet meeting for
some time. He says the trouble with
Greeley is that he wanted to fill all his
(the President's) offices with bad men"


The Quiet Man of Appamattox has
let the cat out of the bag in the above
statement.


Horace Greeley and Ruben E. Fem
ton have been for years the silent part
ners in the Tammany Hall Robbers
Roost- They have been continually
foisting upon the Administration such
thieves as Callicott and Bailey, until
finally Grant had to send the two latter
and many more Of their kidney of
whom Greeley was bondsman or
sponsor to the State penitentiary to
pound stone. In the meantime, the
New York Times, Grant paper, and
an enemy to the Greeley Fenton- Coch-
Hank Smith Tweed Sweeney and
Hall outfit commenced going for Tam
many, which resulted in an exhibit Of
fraud and rascality which astounded
the whole civilized world.


From that moment Greeley turned
from being an enthusiastic friend of
the Administration to its bitter vindic-
tive enemy. Hence the remark of the
President that 'sthe trouble with Gree
ley is that he wanted me to fill all his
(the President's) offices with bad men"
Hence the support which Greeley re-
ceives from Tweed and every other
thief in Tammany Hall.
