The Democratic Convention.

| The Democratic Convention which
assembled in New Orleans on the 3Ott
ult., has adjourned after harmonious
and interesting session. 1t was COM
posed of delegates from every portion
of the State, and represented the wis
dom and intelligence of the party. A
spirit of Cancellation animated the
whole body of delegates, and all seem
ed disposed to yield individual prefer
ences and prejudices to the good of the
party and the country. The Electoral
Candidates who were disqualified
promptly resigned their places to 9TH
ers who were not laboring under the
same disabilities. And the aspirants
for Congressional honors, to whom the
same disabilities attached, cheerfully
gave way in favor of those who could
meet the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of those
who undertake to decide the eligibili-
ty of members of the two Houses of
Congress. Those who were so willing
to postpone their claims now will be
remembered when the restoration of all
our privileges shall enable us to disre-
gard the proscriptive policy of the par
ty which now controls tie government.
The delegates from this district
nominated Hon. M. Ryan, of Rapides,
as a candidate for Congress. This
nomination, we doubt not, will prove
perfectly acceptable to the Democracy
of the Fourth Congressional District
Rapides has not had, or ever asked for,
the nomination for any of her sons
since the lamented Winn was candi-
date nearly thirty years ago. Judge
Ryan has been a resident of Rapides
for many years. He has served in
both branches of the State Legislature
and has been Judge of the District
Court. He has occupied a prominent
position at the bar, and has also been
identified with the agricultural inter-
ests of the State. He labors under no
constitutional disabilities and, if elect
ed, can take the test oath now required
of members of Congress.
A good scholar, fluent and forcible,
speaker, Judge Ryan cannot fail to oc-
cupy a high position in Congress-
The Radicals will find that he will give
them great deal of trouble on the
floor. g.a
Now that the nomination has been
made the candidate must be elected
1t will be an easy matter if every one
will do his duty. There have been
almost enough changes in this parish
alone since the late election to turn the
scale. Let us go to work in earnest to
carry the district for Seymour and
Blair and elect our candidate for Con-
gross.

Adah Isaacs Menken.

Many persons in England have been
shocked aud saddened this week BY the
news of the death of Adah Isaacs Menken.
She had many admirers, and some friends ;
and these were among the most cultivated
and best people in England. She was
about to fill an engagement at the Chatelet
of her poems, dedicated to Charles Dickens
had been announced for publication
Many Of the literary men of London be
came acquainted with poor Adah, during
her residence here, and they will not be
sorry that they were Kind and helpful to
her. had never happened to see her in
America, not even across the footlights.-
Soon after she came to London, friend of
mine, pious and eloquent American cler-
gyman, invited me one night to 20 with
him to Astley's, where she was playing
Mazeppa. After the first act he sent his
card to her, and presently natty little ii
ger in livery came and invited us behind
The scenes, to take glass of champagne
with the Tartar Prince, in his or her dress
ing-room. My reverend friend presented
me, l made my bow and compliments, and
we were friends. I know her trials, her
sufferings, and her good deeds. She was
full Of genius, aspiration and generosity-a
great soul in a sad disorder. I have sell
dom known more unselfish or more char
table person. She was surrounded by the
pensioners on her bounty. She would not
only give her last dollar to relieve distress,
but pledge, if necessary, everything she
possessed. She asked nothing but love ;
she gave everything to those she pitied
and to those she loved. 93t 81
The last time I saw her, few weeks
ago, in Golden square, she was very ill.
had little hope of her recovery; and I was
also hopeless Of any good for her in this
world. Had she been selfish, worldly-at
all the person many supposed her to be,
she might have succeeded. In her utterly
unselfsh, disorderly Bohemianism, it was
utterly impossible, and her death is a re-
lief. She was so Ill suited to this world
that We may hope she will far better in
another. Poor Adah s.

Warmoth's Election Proclamation.

Up to our present writing we observe
that the Legislature has done nothing
with Mr.. Warmoth's Proclamation
which nulifies the law under which
Presidential electors have always been
elected in this State. We very much
fear that this proclamation was inten
ded to open the way for preventing the
counting of the vote of Louisiana in
case it should be cast for Seymour and
Blair.
The Picayune says that though there
is no law requiring the electors to be
voted for by general ticket, such has
ever been the custom in Louisiana.
Now, if our contemporary will only
read the electoral law as published in
the "Revised Statutes" which has never
been repealed that we are aware of, he
will find that the law specially requires
that each voter shall vote for the whole
number of electors to which the State
is entitled. Moreover, we fear that
some trouble may arise out of the vo-
ting for electors by Congressional in
stead of by electoral districts. The
law spoken of above provides for dis
tricting the State into electoral dis
tricts and will not permit that two cleo
tors shall reside in the same district
Now it is impossible that each of the
candidates voted for at large, should
not live in district which has its own
Congressional elector. In that case
the vote of one will be lost.
We suggest that an amendment of
the electoral law is necessary and sug-
gest that the Legislature attend to the
matter at once.

Means Fight.

I Campbell (Rad.) Senator from Orleans
has introduced Bill regarding the com.
ing election. The Is Section of said beau.
ty reads as follows:
That no citizen shall on the day of cleo
tion be deprived of any weapon of offense
OF defense which he shall carry openly. mol
shall any law now in force which prohibits
the carrying of concealed weapons be con.
strued to prohibit citizens of this State
from carrying and wearing arms on the day
Of election in an open and public manner;
Provided, that the provisions of this sec.
ton shall not be construed as allowing the
carrying Of any concealed weapons; and
provided. further, that the Commissioners
OF Election may require all persons coming
within one eighth ola mile Of any poll or
place of voting to be disarmed, and. shall
have power to order any sheriff. or any
constable, or any such officers as they may
appoint, to arrest and imprison any person
or persons violating the provisions of this
section, such Imprisonment not to extend
beyond the hour of closing the polls.

Social Equality.

Governor Warmoth for once has
risen above party dictation and has
vetoed the infamous social equality
bill passed by the Radical Legislature.
And, what's better still, the Legislature
has sustained him in his veto.
During the discussion some of the
Radicals, white and black, took occa-
sion to define their position pretty
clearly on this important question.
Some ofthe carpet-baggers said that if
iRadicalism meant social equality with
negroes they would have no more to do
with the party. And, on the other
hand some of the negro Radicals init
mated pretty clearly that if Radical
ism meant association with scalawags
and carpet-baggers they, too, would
quit the party for more decent COM
pany.

~ The Picayune undertakes to ad

~ The Picayune undertakes to adj
wise the country papers to desist from
writing political articles and confine
themselves to local subjects, as being
more interesting to their readers. We
would inform our contemporary that
the country papers are got up for the
benefit of their subscribers, and not
for the benefit Of the news-editor of
the city papers, whose province it is
to make up column of Louisiana
items" If the country papers did not
express their opinions on the political
questions of the day, their subscribers
might be forced to the excruciating task
of reading the vaporings of the "res-
pectable journal" on Camp Street. As
long as our readers are satisfied with
the manner in which we get up our
paper, we can. afford to disregard the
friendly advice of those who seem to
take such an interest in our welfare.

BThe performance Of the THEsp1ANs
on last Thursday night, was for the
benefit of the SEYMOUR and BLAIR
Club, and was but poorly attended.
We cannot accord too much praise to
the young gentlemen who compose
that association, for their kind and
noble efforts, gratituously given, to a
cause, that should enlist the hearty ac-
cord of every one in our community
and be neglected by none. We are
mortified to the quick at the shameful
conduct of many, who staid away, on
account of the dollar, and certainly do
not envy their situation. In striking
contrast to this was the conduct of
those noble ones, who attended and are
proud of the dollar they have given to
our holy and righteous cause.

II We demand and urge the partic-
ular attention of evevy man in Rapides
to the notice of the Registration Board
of this Parish. There are two Boards
for Rapides; one to sit in Alexandra,
all the time allowed by law, and the
other to be at three other places, Che
NEVILLE, Plaisance and Hineston.-
Any one desiring can register at Alex
andria.
We have written almost volumes on
this subject, which to our conviction is
one of most vital Importance to us all,
one that cannot be too often repeated,
and we again pray and beseech every
man to come forward and to come at
once and register. Delays are danger
GUS, suicidal, criminal. A man not re-
gistered, is vote lost for Seymour, the
next President, nay the Saviour of our
country. Come forward, promptly,
cheerfully, manfully and register-and
thus be armed for November Sd, 1868.
Do not put it off:--away with all excu-
SEES; be men and act like men.

WILL NOT VorE FOR GRANT.-The Fu-
ture, the organ of the Turner Associations,
published at Indianapolis, gives four rea-
sons why it will not vote for Grant. Here
are two of them:
3. We will not vote for Grant, because
the Chicago platform is not forward, but
a retrogade step. We will here only call
attention to that plank which declares the
negro suffrage must be carried out in the
South but not in the North. By this sour
rilous pusillanimity it is sought to invei-
gle conservative votes, but this delusiOn
will soon be dispelled. Whoever is oppos-
ed to negro suffrage in the North will wish
to see the South exempt from the same
blessing. III
4 We will not vote for Grant, because,
by the result of the recent impeachment
trial, the powers of the President have
been so enlarged that to place them in the
hands OF a soldier, in case Of revolution
OF foreign war, may prove the destruction
Of the Republic. Silent, ambitious Grant is
best adapted to carry ont reasonable de-
signs, more SO than Democratic Presi-
dent from the civil ranks. Democrats
cannot make matters worse than they now
are. Let them exert themselves to this
end it will bring the public sooner to
their sober senses.
