There are enough office-seckers to furnish one for each table at the hotcl, and there they make them- selves useful by passing around milk, sugar, and butter to delegutes. After meals, each one posts himaelf b the Jobby, begs all who meet him not to helleve the rumor that he hos resigned, ex- plalning that it ls o yarn started by his opponent, who in reality is simply the fence or stall for some other fellow. At this moment the Gubernatorial situation ia apparently clear. Itle CULLOM AND NONE OTNET. When Washburne withdrew, all bs friends con- centrated on Cullom, and the latter nursed his Juck with wonderful akill, and laat evening scemed to have itall his own way, with Deveridge nowhicre and Ridgway like o ainking ship {n the dim distance. This morning, however, the sitnation changed, Deverldge's warrlors roturned fromn points where they have been on duty. The Penitentlary, Canal, Railrond, and Inssne Asyluin,Commlssioners came marching in, accompooted by all of the houschold troops, and nt once began cheering one another with exaggerated reparts aa to Beveridge's actunl strength. Then the attempt was mado to divert the anti-Beveridge vote trom Cullon to some anknown cand{date—to some new man. It was claimed that the so-called Reform eloment In Cook and else- where would much sooner take Milton Hay, orsume sach mag, and that in the gencral melee Doveridge might MARE A BAROAIN WITH RIDGWAY andalip in. By sfternoon, howover, it was fonnd that this was fmpracticable. The ilght was too sharp and too indlvidual for any such divition of forces, and therefore, unless some sudden and un- expecied aatureak vceurs, Cullom Ls the man.

Spectal Correspondence of The Tridune, New ORLEANS, May 18.—“Who will be the next Governor of Loufsanal™ is now the ques tion of all others most {requently asked by thost who take an interest in Btate politics in thiscity, It 18 a question much easicr asked than answered 1t is surrounded by so many contingencies and posalbilities that, at the most, one can only con Jucture 85 to the result. To state those contin gencies and pogeibliities, and leave the reader te do bis own guessing, is all that I shall attenpt to de in this letter. THE REPUBLICANS have ealled two Conventlons,—one to meet fo this city on the 30th of May, for the purpose of electing delegates to the Natlonal Republican Conventlon st Cincinnati, and the other to meet June 27, to nominate State and Congressfonal candidates, to be voted for next fall. Theo delegates to the Conventions have nearly all been elected, and I belleve that in po instance have they been fnstructed a to what candidates they shall vote for. The Conventlons will La composed of st Jeast three-fourths colored dele- gotes. The principal candidates in the field for the Itepudlican nomination for Governorarc ex-Gor. IL. €. Warmoth, Marshal 8. B, Packard, and State Sco- ator Thomas C. Anderson. The princ{pal candidates for Lleutenaut-Governor are C. C. Antoine, the pres- cnt incambent; ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, and James Lewis, —ali colored. In addition to theeo, about lalf the other colored politicians in tha State, who have achleved either renown or noto« riety, are candidatea,—1t haviog been settled by ¢ precident, and {s now tacitly agreed that the Re-. publican candidate for Governor being white, the * candidate for Lieutenant-Goveruor ehall be col- ored. Thus thls Statc has bad since Re- copstruction & constani succession of colored Lieotenant-Governors, comprisiog Duna, Pluche ‘back, and Antojne. It must be admitted that they all presided over tho Senate with digoity and sbill- t: Yime question of who shall be Lieatenant-Govermn or hias necessarily, from the complexion of the delegates, a strong bearing upon the queetion o¥ who whall hiead the ticket;” snd thia fact will havo much to do with making . EX.-0OV. WARMOTIU a formidsble candidate before the Convention, through Pinchback, who 18 worklng. for Warmoth, and who will have ihe second place on the ticket it Warmoth s nominsted. Pinchback fa, without doubt, the strongest colored man in the State, and e Is on particularly bad terma with Marshal Pack- ard and nearly ail the white leadern fn the party. S0 ho han made a combination with Warmoth, who, notwithstanding hie went off with the Greeley movement in IB72, Is eatcemed very highly by s large proportion of the Repubiicans in tho Stato; and, If they are not succeasfal In secur- fng the nominatlons, they will certainly prove & vety serioun obstacle i tho way of the aspirations of other candilsten. The Infiuences which will work in tavr of Gov. Warmoth are his popularity with tho colared people, his csperlence, and hia knawn pertonal cournge, from which it Is olleved that be would conduct a vigorous canvass, and not allow the party to be draguoned into_a minority by the rough-riders of led River, and not depend for & mafority upon Ure tabolation of e Returning oard. It has been atated that MARSIAL PACKARD inno longer n candidate for Governor, but the statement must be taken with some grnins of allow- ance. 1t i3 kuown that Mir. Packard has been talked of as o candidste for & yeat or two, and that, 08 Chairman of the Stats Central Committee, he bas had abundant opportunity to sdvauce bis Interests. In proof of the fact that ho hias 80 ndvanced hie interests, I can state that, in s large number ot parlshes, preatmably though the influcnce of Mr. Packard, the Parlsh Central Com- mittee, whoso duty it Wus to call Parish Conven- tions {0 clect delegates to the State Convention, have fnstead **clocted,” or rather appointed, tho deleiates themaelves,—thua doing away with ovon the formallty of giving **the speople’ & voica n tho Government.
