The New IRebe,,,on.

We learn from gentleman who arrived
last night from Memphis, that the arms
whose arrival at that port was announced
some days ago, have been destroyed. Il
appears that the parties 10 whose charge
they were, at last succeeded in getting them
shipped on board the steamer commando a
by Captain Sam Houston, for Little Rock.
When about forty miles below Memphis the
steamer was hailed by a tug and boarded,
At the same time large number of persons
from the Arkansas side of the river went on
board from dugonts and every floating thing
that was available. The party took charge
Of the pilothouse aud stood guard over
the pilot; after ascertaining that the arms
intended for Little Rock were on board,
they took axes and crOwbars and broke
open every box, throwing their conten Is
and the boxes In the river. After this
they ran the boat ashore and scuttled her,
and then they all left and dispersed into
the woods. s ast
No clue has been discovered as yet by
which the party can be identified.
The river FROM Helena for miles up was
strewn with the debris Of the boxes.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

1t may not be generally known that in
the redistricting Of the State by the Legisla-
ture, the residence of an elecior nominated
for the Third District was changed into the
Second, and the residence ef the elector
nominated for the Fourth was changed
to the Third District. Therefore the Con-
gressional Nominating Convention of the
Fourth District nominated the Hon. Harry
Lott for eleotor. Two of the electors re-
sided in the Second District and therefore
the Convention of this district proceed to
ballot for choice, and nominated third
viz: Colonel c. B. Young. Under the cir
cumstapcesiit became the duty.of the State
Executive Committee to take action in the
matter for the instruction of the Campaign
Committee, and at its meeting on Wednes-
day evening it ratified the nomination Of
Mr.. Harry Lott. As to the Second Dis
trict, it decided that the changing of the
residence of the Hon. Mr. Reese from the
Third to the Second District did not invali-
date the previous nomination of Mr.. Par
ker as elector for thati district. His name
is therefore retained.
The Executive Committee having been
reliably informed that Mr.. Cornelius Do
nato, who was nominated by the State Con-
vention as Elector for the Fourth District,
had Joined the Democracy and published
card to that effect, it very properly substi-
tuted for his name that of the Hon. P. G.
Deslonde, of Iberville. 1t would have pre-
ferred calling convention of the Third
District, but as the tickets for the country
parishes had to be printed Immediately
there was not time to do so.

OHANeB OF OANDIDATEs,

The way in:which the Democratic press
of our city received the proposition TO haul
down the names of Seymour and Blair was
very laughable.
One of our Camp street cotemporaries
held back and was very chary of commend
ing the scheme for day or two. Then
they came out in double loaded leader,
using the following significant language:
"That the Democratic party can not sue
ceed with their present. candidates is now
universally admitted" The article had
scarcely been finished when telegram an
nounced that there would be no change
Another journal prepared labored ar
ticle in advocacy of the proposed sweep,
permitted it to appear in their evening
edition and suppressed it before morning.
The next day they declared that they had
all along been opposed to change.

DISCUSSION AT BoUTTB STATION,

Through the courtesy of the Hancocl
Club ofthe parish of St. Charles, an oppor
tunity was offered for a public discussion
of the political issues of the day at Boutte'i
Station, on the Opelousas Railroad, yester.
day.
General Steedman and Colonel Race
were chosen to represent the Democratic
and General McMillen and Captain Sher-
idan the Republican party.
By agreement between the speakers, it
was arranged that Messrs. Race and Steed-
man should open and close the discussion,
and that each side should occupy two
hours. There were some three or four
hundred people present, white and black,
and liberal proportion of ladies, whose
presence was gallantly recognized by Colo
nel Race.
We will attempt no report of the argu-
ments of the different speakers. Suffice it
to say that the discussion was conducted
in the most courteous manner, and that all
offensive personalities avoided.
The best of feeling existed between the
disputants, and the people who listened to
them for four hours manifested by their
continuous attention their absorbing inter
est in the issues at stake and their approval
of this method of presenting both sides of
the question.
The meeting was a purely Democratic
one, and the Republicans are indebted to
their courtesy :or an opportunity of being
heard. We hope this example may be ex-
tensively copied and that Republicans
will emulate the spirit of fairness mani
tested on this occasion and extend to the
Democrats opportunity for being heard al
some of our mass meetings.
Messrs. Sheridan and McMillen speak in
the highest terms OF the uniform courtesy
and liberal hospitality extended them by |
the President Of the Hancock Club and the |
managers of the discussion.

DEMOCRATIC ADVICE,

The Philadelphia UniUerss had the fol-
lowing as an editorial in its issue before
the late election in Pennsylvania. Al
though ii savors little of outIawry we
think that it is Iexcellent Democratic ad-
vice. We commend it to the State Com
mittee of the Democracy. II would make
good circular much better one than
that from which we publish an extract
daily: r.-I
The election for this State will take place
on the day after tomorrow. Like good
patriots and true members of the communi-
ty, we hope that every citizen will vote
early in the morning, late at night and as
often as possible during the day. II the
right OF suffrage is great political right,
it deserves as frequent exercise az it IL nos
sible to give It on the days of test. Il il
true that there are malignant laws for the
punishment Of the patriotic act Of voting
more than once at one aud the same elec.
tion. But 1t is people without any public
spirit that are afraid of these bad statute.
The citizens Of true national
courage never shrink from he
penalty Of imprisonment and muIeka-
lion attached TO them; but skillfully aud
boldly they both circnmYent and defy them
thus doing high honor to their manhood
and important service to their country.
The only way to cover an opposing party
with the shame Of defeat Is to vote as
frequently against it as possible: As in the
neld Of war against treason and invasion,
every soldier d bound, by all the laws OF
pride, justice, humanity, and vaIor, to give
his muskat ne rest ia sending bullets into
the camp Of the enemy, SO ia the more i'm

offices Of the naiion, each good citizens Is

CHASTE AND BEAUTIFUL.

Among the speakers at late Democratic
meeting in this city was our distinguished
fellow-citizen Professor Dimitry. We COPY
the following synopsis of his eloquent and
impressive address as reported by the New
Orleans Times. When we say that our ex-
tract contains very nearly all of the report
of the Professors learned harangue, we
mean to intimate that in our opinion our
cotemporary has done the eminent gentle.
man great injustice. We are informed that
his speech, if reported in full would con-
tain several other passages equally chaste,
and even more beautiful:
Mr.. Dimitry alluded to the reconstruc-
ton acts and to Thad. Stevens, who died
a dogs death;' of what these laws brought
about, and what they portended; of the
bondholders and the taxes which the peo-
ple-the poor people-paid; and he recited
the accumulated evils which Radicalism
had brought about. He spoke of War
moth-he believed that was the fellows
name. Was he from louisiana No. he
was from Iowa; starving on its barren
prairies, and looking around. says, "Where
shall l go to get fat? o, there's Louisi-
ana" Laughter) He reviewed in a
scorching manner the names of the State |
officers, and compared them one by one
with those who had formerly filed those |
offices in Louisiana. Now the men who |
held these offices came upon the country
as the rats came in Egypt
Though Professor Dimitry is doubtless
known to the civilized world, yet every one
may not be aware of the fact that he now
occupies the important position of Assis-
iant. Superintendent of Public Schools in
his city.
When our friends in the North read the
synopsis of the Professors classic |
'ration, and then learn that our schools are
presided over by savan SO eminently
ltted, doubtless they will envy our favored
,eople. .......

CoIoneIHenru HI. Pone.

Henry II. Pope, whose death in Franklin
by assassination has been reportnd, came to
this city as Colonel of the Twenty-ninth
Illinois volunteers and shared in
the well-deserved honors of that GAL
liant regiment. About two years
ago he was appointed to some office con-
nected with the customs at Brashear by
Collector Kellogg. He was elected Sheriff
of st. Mary in April last. We learn that
he was expecting the arrival of his wife
from Illinois about the time Of his death.
May her strength be sufficient for the over
powering aftllctioR in store for her. ~. -

RESISTANCE To LAW

At meeting held in Jefferson City on
Saturday evening, to protest against the
Metropolitan Police Bill, resolutions were
adopted informing the Legislature that it
must at once repeal the unjust and heinous
law, and that the time had now arrived
when forbearance isno longer virtue,
Here is the language in which they
pledge themselves to resist the law:
We, the white people of the parish of
Jefferson, in mass meeting assembled, do
pledge ourselves to protect our homes by
resisting, by every means, the installation
of D. c. Woodruff as the Chief of Police of
the city of Jefferson, or the enforcement of
the so-called Metropolitan police bill.
New Orleans Republican., 1868-10-19
TWO MORE REPUBLICANS AssAss1NATED

We publish in another column an ac.
count of the murder If Henry Pope
sheriff, and Valentine Chase, parish Judge
of st. Mary. We also reprint a series Of
extracts from the Banner, the Democratic
organ in Franklin. The circumstances sur
rounding these cOwardly assassinatlons,
together with the barbarous spirit exhibited
by the Banner, show that the people of st.
Mary are subjected to fearful reign of
terror.
We would be glad to learn, before COM
menting further upon these fearful murders,
to what extent the people of that parish
approve the tone of the paper whose incen
diary articles have, 70 doubt, contributed to
these sad results, and how far the people
intend to go in expressions of disapproval
of the outrages committed, and in effort to
bring the perpetrators of the dark deeds to
merited punishment.

The following is an extract from Cir

Committee of Louisiana:
Ioirculsrl
And we would earnestly declare to our
fellow-citizens our opinion that even the
most implacable and ill-disposed of the
negro population, those who show the
worst spirit toward the white people, are
not half SO much deserving our aversion
aud non-intercourse with them as the de-
based whites who encourage and aid them,
and who become through their votes the
ofdce-holding oppressors of the people.
Whatever of resentment you have should
be felt toward the latter and not against
the coiored men. But in no case should
you permit this resentment to go farther
than to withdraw from them all coun-
teuanee, association and patronage, and to
thwart every effort they may make to main
tain q business and social foothold among

Their financial writer, however, sings quite
another tune. Only slight discrepancy.
