BASTROP, Ia, Aug. &, 1872

nASllNcI, aug. U, 1o|-.
Editor Ouochita Telegraph:
a communication by G. II. Morrison
in your last issue, relative to the alleged
Iaturc paid to secure the passage of the
Levce bill, requires some notice from
me as my name appears in the list of
those charged.
The evidence Of corruption given by
this article is of such unsatisfactory,
vague character that Morrison and
yourself both show that neither believe
the SANDER. No sensible man will be-
lieve such a thing is true except he
desires to believe it. That this whole
story is false from beginning to end,
the journal of the House will show.
BY reference to the proceedings Of
February ID, 1871, contained in that
Journal, the history Of the passage Of
this bill is found, and shows the follow
ing facts: That there We're 9S votes for
this bill and one against it on final pas
sage; that Burch, the only vote against
the bill, is found among those charged
with bribery to pass it. This is fatty
contradictory. Twenty-four names are
found in the Journal voting for tho bill
whose names do not appear on your
list; these voted for it, so it seems,
without being bribcd. Why buy II;
members to pass this bill, at an expense
of $4,000, when it was only necessary
to buy 2G members, at an expense of
$4,000? 1t also appears that there
were three members charged with be-
ing bribcd, at 81 700 each, who did not
vote for the bill at all--Burch, Stamps
and Bryan. Is not this {; little singular
that members should be bought, paid,
and then not vote as they promised:
The public can depend on it that this
whole charge, as to myself, is Il f;abrica-
ton from beginning to end. a critical
inspection of the Journal of the House
will support this assertion.
Yours respectfully,
T.. T.. BUCKINGHAM.

Let the Guilty Bleed.

The guilty should bleed, but not the
innocent. In the list of names of those
included in Col. Morrison's commune
cation, published last week, who We're
bribed to vote for the Lcvce bill, sherc
are several noticeable features. In the
first place, there is not a name on the
list except those Of Democrats and
Grant Republicans. The name of not a
single one of the pure and. good satel-
liteS of the Govcrnor-such mon as Carr,
Devices and Opaltek-appears on the
list. In the next place, the list Indicates
that seventy-three members We're
bought. Now, on the Levee bill, only
ninety-three votes were east. SiXty-siN
votes would have been two-thrds
vote, and sufficient to pass it over the
Governors veto. Then why We're the
purchasers SO extravagant as to buy ten
votes more than was necessary? Again,
the Journal of the House shows that J.
II. Burch, a colored man, was the only
member who voted all the way and
finally against the passage of the bill
yet he, being ar anti-Warmoth man, is
included in the list. Beside the seventy
three who are represented as having
been bought, there were twenty-siN
others to make out ninety three, the
whole vote, and who were in favor of
the passage of the bill as they voted for
it. Hence, it was only necessary to
have bought forty members, instead of
seventy-thrce. We have no doubt that
votes were bought, and that corruption
and bribery were used. The guilty
should bleed, but we want better evil
dcncc than this before we can pronounce
IL verdict of guilty upon those named.
And we take pleasure in saying that so

The Procession of Saturday.
The New Orleans Bee, of Sunday,
says 1--WE translate from the Ffencl1) in
its editorial column:

The New Orleans Bee, of Sunday,
says 1--WE translate from the Ffencl,) in
its editorial column:
Last nights political demonstration sur
passed our expectations. The Democracy
were, improvised turn out, OF what numbers
of voters they will be able to place in line
when their clubs shall be completely organ
lied OF the 2i,000 Democratic voters of
1865 (in this city,, there are certainly 10000
who will support the united Democratic
and Reform candidates.
This demonstration gives the greatest
hopes OF success i'll the campaign, despite
the momentnry desertion of citizens, whom
we have hitherto had the right to include
in our ranks, and whom we yet hope to see
return to tho good cause.
In its detailed report of the process
sion, which is very elaborate, evidently
carefully prepared, especially in the list
of clubs, their officers and members, the
Bee says:
TRULY popular demonstrations have a
stamp of spontaneity, frankness and enthu-
observer to mistake; and which cannot be
approached or initiated by would-be politi-
cal demonstrations or professions, organ
lied through the power Of money, by the
with.
This truth was palp:iblc last night to all
exhibited between the cold and insigniti-
cant exhibition with which the Liberals on
and the grand snd imposing demonstration
Of the Democratic party; that is to say, the
immense majority of the population OF the
city of New Orleans.
The total number i'll the procession was
nearly ten thousand men. What better
answer could have been given to those who
haVe asserted that the Democracy was
dead?
Our own estimate of the number in
the procession was the same us that of
the Bee. 1t was based on the official
reports Of the clubs, handed in during
the day at Democratic headquarters,
and then comparing them with the
number who actually turned out. This
latter count was made by five different
attaches of our editorial corps, stationed
at different points on the route.-N. O.

The Real Obstacle.

We hear it said that the only obstacle
in the way Of compromise and harmony
between the Democratic and Reform
committees and the Liberal Convention
is the nomination for Governor. That
Office is regarded by some as the prize
for which both parties are struggling,
its value and Importance consisting of
the patronage which the Governor dis
pcnses. The real obstacle is, perhaps,
the question Of the validity of the pub
lie debt. The Warmoth party are in
favor of recognizing the validity of the
,riOie debt rs now existing, whether
illegally created or not.
The Democrats and RcformCrs, on
the other hand, think the debt should
be scrutinizcd to ascertain whether any
part of it is fraudulent or not. If it
should DC asccrtaincd that any part of
it was unlawfully created, then that
should be dealt with according to the
principles and rules of equity; that is to
say, if the State received value for
those fraudulent bond ISSUES, she should
reimburse those who had advanced the
money, the same amount precisely
which they had advanced.
OF course, SO wide ~ difference Of
opinion upon Il question of such mag
nituuc and such gravity rs this leaves
no room for tho exercise of II spirit Of
compromise IfcTkYtti{C

would be very gratifying to notice
at length in this issue. We hope to

Democratic Convention In Jackson.

The Democrats of Jackson assembled
in Convention at Vernon on the 10th.
w. Strah Custis, Esq. was made Chair
man, and Mr.. Il. J. Lewis Secretary.
A committee on resolutions was APP
pointed, whereof w. G. Ashley was
made Chirmau.
During the absence of the committee
Jas. w. Young, Esq, of Homer, candi-
date for District Attorney, was requested
to address the meeting, which he did
in his usual telling style, urging the
people to rid the State of bad rulers,
and to make an energetic and united
struggle to reform the abuses now OPP
pressing them.
Senator R.W. Futch, Of Union, being
present, was called for to address the
meeting. Mr.. Futch, obeying the call,
proceeded in a lengthy review Of his
senatorial record and of matters affect
ing particularly the interests of the
State. The close attention paid the
speaker by the large audience in atten-
dance evinced confidence in his we'll
earned reputation for strict probity and
in his earnest devotion to the cause of
his constituency whom he has faithfully
served for four years.
At the conclusion of the remarks of
Mr.. Futch, the Committee on Resolu-
tons, through its Chairman, reported
the following:
Ieesolved, That we endorse the action
Of the Cincinnati and Baltimore Con-
ventions in placing before the whole
people of the United States, without re-
gard to race or color, the names of HOr-
ace Greeley for President and b. Gratz
Brown for Vice President of this Re-
public.
Zcesolced, That we recommend the
name of Hon. G. w. McCranie as a
suitable gentleman to represent the 5th
Congressional District in the United
States Congress, but leave this matter
entirely with the delegates Of this par
ish to do as they may deem proper and
expedient.
The vote being taken, the resolutions
were unanimously adopted.
The Chairman appointed the follow
ing delegates to the Congressional Con-
w. Mallory, Governor Gullatt (col.),
G. Bishop, Joel Lewis, Jesse McL4ain,
j. w. Rinchart, John Hampton, John
Zeiglcr, s. Embry, Fred Hawthorne,
j. ID. Williams and w. S. Robson.
The meeting, which was composed of
Democrats from every ward in the
parish, adjourned sine efie, after trans
acting some business relative to the
Parish Executive Committee, continu-
ing that organization in office. Nothing
was done touching nominations for
parochial offices, but we are satisfied no
opponent Of Democracy will be per-
mitted to "slip in" in that parish.
