In a classification of California

the Republican on the list of Dem
ocratic Journals favoring denominations

Judgment is that the nomination of
a straight Democratic ticket will in

believe the mission of the Dem
ocratic party is to save the Republic
from despotism toward which Grant
and his 60. 600 office holders are now
fastening it. and We believe the surest
and speediest method of accomplish
ing the task is the steady support OF

Mr.. GreeIey's Letter of Accept.

NEW YORK, Nav 20. 1872.

NEW YORK, May 20, 1872.
GENTLEMEN: / have chosen
not to acknowledge your letter of
the 3rd instant, until could learn
how the work OF your Convention
was received in all parts of our
great country, and judge whether
that was approved and ratified by
the masses of our fellow-citizens.
Their response has from day to
day reached me through kilograms,
letters and comments of journa-
lists, independent of official patro
mage aud indifferent to the smiles
or frownS of power. The number
and character OF these uucon-
strained, unpurchaSed, unsolicited
utteranceS satisfy me that the
movement which found expires
sion at Cincinnati has received
the stamp OF public approval, and
has been hailed 10y the majority
OF Ou country men as the hardin
ger OF better days for the RrpRh-
lie. l do not miSiutprprrt this
approval, as especially compli
meutary to myself. nor even 20 the
chivalrouS and justly esteemed
gentleman with whose name
thank your convention for aSSo-
Ciarine mine.
/ receive and welcome il as a
spontaneous and deserved tribute
10 that admirable platform Ut prin
cipIes wherein your Convention 50
terseiy, 50 iucidiy aud SO furcihly
set forth the convictions which
impelied and the purposes which
/ guided its course, Il platform
which, casting behind it the wreck
and rubbish of worn out conten,
tons and by gone feuds. embodies
in fit and few words the needsan
aspirations of to day. Though
thousands stand ready to con,
denim your every act, hardly Syl
liable of criticism or cavil has been
aimed at your platform. OF which
the substance may be fairly epit
OmiZed as follows:
First. All the political right,
and franchises which have beer
acquired through our late bloody
CONFUSION must and shall b,
guaranteed, maintained. enjoyed
and respected evermOre.
Second. All the political right

fled that the object of Mr.. Sted-
ham and his friends was only for
delay of our enterprise, hoping to
be able to get State aid and au-
thority to close Cross bayou en-
tirely and levee the river, which
project was attempted last winter
in the Legislature of the State
and failed of success.
We have been from the begin
ming of our enterprise fully salts
fed of its vast utility and benefit
to the commerce of Shreveport;
and when we consider the large
area of fine fertile country through
which the streams pass, that have
heretofore sent such large amounts
OF cotton TO Camden, Beach Hills,
Homer, Trenton and Minden !;
also, when We know that the in
terminable pine forests, cypress
brakes and quantities of white
oak, for slaves and wagon max
ing, hoop poles, will all be brought
within cheap and easy distance of
Shreveport, it is no wild stat =
ment that annually one million
/ dollars worth Of produce will reach
our city by this route alone.
Shreveport must soon realize
the fact that she must live by
manufactur 3. and this route pre-.
sents materials not only necessary
bat IL the most unlimited quaint
", and OF cheap transportation.
Our company is out Of debt, and
. in our earnest eDdeavorS 10 bene
fit the commerce of our town, We
have not spcculated, and have nc
fancy or preferred stock. The
| stock issued IS more than paid fOl
| in cash paid out and services rem
dered, and il is a matter Of con
graduation that We have done Sc
much with such a small outlay
And now all we need is a gener
Gus help from the city and from
the people largely more interested
than are the members of the com
pany.
The first great advance we de
sire is to have the bridges on Cros
bayou removed; and if We bav
the aid and moral support of tn
city and Board of Trade, the Pa
lice Jury of BosSier Parish vii
promptly construct bridges wit
draws, SO as not to impede nav
CATION. Il is true the law nigh
be invoked, but our desire an,
. uniform policy is and has been t
cultivate the most friendly rela
: tons with all parties, and we fee
sure that the bridges can be II
: moved in a mauuer satiSfactor
: and agreeable to all parties i

To 7. P. Hotchkiss, President of
the Lake Bodceau and Cross


Bayou Navigation Company:
AT your request l make the fol
lowing statement of facts in regard
to the history and condition OF
said corporation:
On the 18th of October, 1859.
George Alban, Robert J. L0Oney,
Thomas 2. HotchkiSS, s. II. Cain,
II. Markham and W. NJ. Folsom.
formed themselves into a corpora
tiou-by public act before Z. II.
Spilker, Notary Public-for the
purpose OF opening navigation
from Shreveport through Cross
Bayou, Lake Bodcrau and Bod
ceau Bayou to the State OF ar
kansas.
The corporation was organized
and stock was promptly taken TO
the amour: OF $1,000, each mem
Der taking ten shares at 500 per
share. Upon the most rigid econ
omy we proceeded to lay OF our
work into sections, putting under
contract section after section, and
paying promptly in cash as sec
lions were completed, inspected
and received by the board of di-
rectors, until We had reached
Bellevue in Bossier Parish.
About the time we had finished
the section reaching Bellevue, our
company was eDjoined and stop
ped from further proceedings by
an order of the District Court at
thesuit of one William Stedham,
under the remarkable pretext that
opening and deepening the bayou
would cause the water to overflow
these lands and thus cause him
heavy damages.
We obeyed the order of the
court, and. failing to reach and try
the cause, our enterprise, which
seemed to have no popular sup.
port, languished. We were salts.

DR.. L. p. Hotchkiss:
Dear Sir: | have, during the
past few days, learned of the effort
being made by you ana associates
to open up steamboat navigation
through Macks bayou to the Bod
ceau, and thence up the Boiceau
into tho State of Arkansas. From
a personal knowledge of the route
l regard this work entirely practi-
cable, there being plenty of water
and of sufficient depth for a con
siderable distance into the State
OF Arkansas, it the timber be-
tween the open lakes, which APP
pears at intervals, can be proper
ly removed, to give good naviga-
ton for small beats for six months
in the year; which will give to
Shreveport, in addition to the
trade from Louisiana, a large
trade from the counties.of Lafa
yette, Columbia and Il portion of
Nevana and Hampstead, and prob
ably from the western portion OF
Union. This is an enterprise of
more Importance than most per-
sous Row deem it. Push the work
on as rapidly as possible. | feel
confident if you will take the pro-
per steps to bring the enterprise
before the people Of that portion
of Arkansas, they will cheerfuIly
join you in the enterprise. Hop.
ing yOu may speedily succeed,
l am, with respect yours,

We are under the belief that when
they will cut through the timber

best water, navigation can at all
times be had TO that Place when
there is sufficient water at the
mouth of the bayou, on Red river,
and that it can always be on Bod

as the channel is deep and the
water always clear.
