THE FINANnR BILL,

Brokers of prominence stated publicly
on the street yesterday that the finance
biH' could not become law.
Gentlemen brokers and bankers. beware.
We say to you that as Republican party
measure, duly considered and decided
upon, that bill has been urged.
The moneyed men Of this city can moi
afford to defeat it.
Your attempt, if it succeeds. will recoil
upon you with more force than you may
believe.
The Republican party can not permit
the State treasury to be gorged with these
old certificates at moment when current
funds are essential to the active working
life of the new administration.
Republican Senators will do well to sus'
pect every honeyed tongue which comes
laden with arguments against this bill
When we become State let that bill be-
come a law.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-07-09
FIDELITY TO PARTY,

On Monday night the Republican men,
bers of the General Assembly assembled in
caucus and nominated candidates for the
United States Senate. =.. ...-....
Of course there were disappointed can
didates. There always are.
On Tuesday there were made vigorous
attempts to defeat the objects of that
caucus, and make of the election a general
scrub race.
Money was freely used ; prejudices were
invoked and the claims of race, of faction,
of location, and of individual excellence
were urged with zeal and pertinacity
that augured ill for the success of the
caucus resolves.
But we are proud to be able to record
that when the hour was approached when
the enemy was to be met, when the moment
drew near that must bear aside words
and arguments, to make place for vital ac-
ton, the Republican ranks closed up, and
elbow to elbow moved on the enemy's
works and carried them.
One or two deserters sneaked away from
the triumphant army, and so consigned
themselves to political death; but the
party, as such, preserved its integrity.
The Democracy, we were pleased to OBJ
serve, respected the dignity of the joint
convention, and attempted no futile and
ridiculous fllibustering.
In future Republicans have only to be
true to themselves, as they were on this
occasion, and sure victory must wait on
their endeavors.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-07-09
HON, T, ], DURANT,

1t was stated yesterday morning and the
day previous that the gentleman whose
name heads this article, and who was a
prominent candidate for the United States
Senatorship, would not abide the caucus
nomination, but would place his name be-
fore the joint convention of the General
Assembly. -.-.--
To show how unfounded was this rumor,
we publish the following letter:
NEW ORLEANS, July s, 1865.
Hon. R. Il. Isabelle, Louisiana Legislature:
My DEAR SIR desire you to do me the
favor to say that / positively forbid my
name to be used before the Legislature
as a candidate for the United States Sen
ate. Should any one nominate me, please
have this letter read.
/ am yours truly,
THOMAS J. DURANT.
Mr.. Durant acted nobly in the matter,
and has earned golden opinions from all
his party.
We trust that his life may be spared to
serve in high station the party whose prin-
ciples he has always so ably advocated.
In new federal administration the recon
struoted South will demand representation
in the Cabinet of the Executive, and we
know of no name which could be presented
for the position of Attorney General that
would more commend itself than that of
our friend Mr.. Durant.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-07-09

Yesterday the General Assembly of the
State, in joint convention, elected William
Pitt Kellogg, of this city, and John S.
Harris, of COncordia, as Senators in Con
gress.
Both gentlemen were elected by large
majorities.
In another column we give of them brief
biographical sketches, which will be pc
rused with interest.
Louisiana returns to the Senate of the
United States with a representation of
which she may well be proud.
Mr.. kellogg carries to his new position a
perfect familiarity with all the commercial
interests of this city and State, and
possesses ability and tact to pre-
sent their claims in such man
ner as to secure recognition. His
administration of the customs for the
las. four years has been SO happily con
Quoted that he has established himself as
general favorite among the business men
of our city, and their JOY at his success is
only tempered with regret at the loss they
viii sustain in his necessary surrender Of
the cars of their immediate interests
Mr.. Harris is particularly qualified to
look after such interests of the State as are
affected by plans for internal improve
ment, and his quick sagacity and sound
Judgment will command sueh respect from
his fellow Senators as, we are sure, will re-
suit in substantial benefits to ourselves.
We congratulate the people of the State
on the happy result Of the Senatorial cleo
ton. g ~

HON. JOIN g HARRIa.

This gentleman, who was yesterday
chosen United States Senator for the short
term by the General Assembly Of Louisi-
ana, was born in New York in 1926. AT
the age Of twenty he moved to the then
Territory of Wisconsin, and settled in the
town of Milwaukee. Here he subsequently
engaged in mercantile pursuits and by
indnstry aud business capacity his fortunes
rose with the growth Of the town into a
wealthy and populous city, During the
latter part Of his residence in Milwaukee.
which closed in 1864, Mr.. Harris was Presi-
dent Of the Marine Bank Upon removing
to this State in 1864 he selected Concordia
parish for his home. He brought with him
ample means, which he invested in plant.
ing. A series of reverses, however,
stripped him OF the bulk Of his fortune.
His perseverance, and energy have since
placed him in fair way to recover bis
losses, and the agricultural wealth Of Con.
cofdia viii be this year considerably aug
mented by the results Of his sxerti0ns. ~
In politics NJ Harris has been for years
identified with the Aboliti0nisis. In 1860
be became an active member OF the Re.
publican party, which he literally con
tributed TO sustain. He took an active
part il the early Organization Of the Re
publican party of ConeOrdia parish, and
was elected 10 seat in the Convention.
he was elected By that body as one Of The
members Of the Board Of Registration, in
which capacity he has become wen known
to most Of the members Of the party in this
city and State. AT the last election he was
chosen one Of the State Senator's for his
parish. his selection by the party Is one
q the Senator's in Congress from ibis State
wiz prove TO be one Of the most judieious
that could have been made from the many
very able md excellent gentlemen whose
claims had been urged BY their respective
friends.
