J The report of the Commute on Creden tials was read umid unexampled decoium. Every one felt sufficiently interested to keep quiet. The report was a substantial blow, as was expected, to Pinchback. The committee bad, indeed, through fear, or possibly with the iutention of offering a compromise, admitted Pinch himself together with the administration delegates from the Tenth Ward, but in all the other wards and paiishes, Pinch's supporters were ruled out. PINCHBACK H SPEECH. The report ended amid loud cheers. Pinchback, for the first lime, arose from mat. The President seemed anxious to let the ex-Hunator, ex Lieutenant Gov ernor, etc., havo the floor, although a dozen other parties were claiming it; and Pinch st rted out rather more mildly than was expected. “I am pledged to recoguize the action of tho people, yet I refuse to recognize ttie odious distinction made iu the Tenth Ward ; I euier my protest against the ac tion of the committee, against the out rageous conduct of ruffians iu the Tenth Ward on the 1st of August. If these prac tices are allowed, it will bo a firebrand to the Republican party. I have no person al ends to subserve, but I consider the the action of the committee as a direct personal insult to ina. 1 am entitled eith er to represent the Touth Ward or not— 1 want no ha'f way tuuasuros." Loud cheering followed Pinchbeck's speech, and R. U. Ray, of East Feliciana, who seems u leading spirit in the Conven tion, arose to denounce the action of the city Republican bullies and ruffians, who h&i never carried a single election, but who wero always loudest in their denunci ations and talk.

The Convention seemed getting nearer and usurer every minute to a fight ; hot sidd arguments were going on in ovory corner, aud several couples adjourned to tho street to settle their difficulties there.

The incidents will be derived mainly from its newspapers, which will be gleaned for this purpose with much care. It is believed that most of our citizens would like to have such incidents in this compact and convenient form, and will encourage the undertaking to the extent of the small amount asked for the work Each chapter will contain short biographi cal sketches or notices of the principal citizi mentioned in it, who have since died. The volume will also embrace full information concerning the churches, factories, rf’C., now existing. We do not propose to publish this compila tion with a view to making money, as the small price asked foPit will show. But at the same time we do not want to lose money by its publication, and therefore we wish to limit the number of copies printed to the de mand for the work. With this object in view, we issue this prospectus, inviting those who desire copies of the volume to send in their names. The price will be one dollar per copy for % a pamphlet bound volume, printed on paper like the specimen sheet issued. A small number of copies will also be issued on a su perior article of paper for $1 30 per copy. Payable when the work is delivered, which will be some time next Fall. THOS. GILBERT. May 12. 1874.
