CAP. E. JOHN ELLIS.

The name Of this talented young Louisiana
an is familiar 10 every citizen OF the State.
His devotion to the cause Of the people o.
Louisiana and his ardent advocacy Of then
rights have gained for him fame that any
young man may well be proud to boast Of in
these times Of trial and tribulation, when the
true characters of men are so severely tested.
His nomination for Congress from the Sec
ond District, is a high honor and just tribute
to his unceasine labors and undoubted merits
as citizen, lawyer and patriot
Mr.. Ellis was born in Covington, La, and
~ now about thirty-two years old lie is the
son Of the Hon. +. Z. Ellis, who for long
| time filed with honor and distinction tie Of
| fee of Judge Of the Sixth Judicial District.
He was educated at Centenary College, La,
| and in 1861 graduated III the Law University
Of Louisiana. In April 1861, he entered the
Confederate army private and was after
wards elected lieutenant and then captain Of
his company. The last year Of the war he
was captured by the Ied-rals and confined ii
prison
AT the close Of the war in 1865 he entered
upon the practice Of the law in the country,
and in 500 he removed to New Orleans, whe.e
he has been since engaged in the exercise of
his profession.
Mr.. Ellis is young man Of great natural
talent and genius. He is fluent and elo-
luent speaker as well as ready and witty
deLater, and those who may come under his
whitening and sarcastic criticism are certainly
to he pitied. Bold, fearless, honest and out
spoken, he is destined to make name for
himself ia the political history of his native
State, and his cons .ituents may rest assured
that in him they will fad rcprese itative and
a champion tn will be true to them, and will
do honor alike to himself and his State
Henry O. Dibble, who first concoctoa
the Eighth District Court bill for lis own
benefit, and the law creating the office of
Assistant Attorney General, likewise for him
self who could not be elected constable on |
his own merits is the opponent OF T. John
Ellis
Grown rich by his raids upon the State
Treasury from vario offices created for his
dement,, ne proposes now 70 use his lll-9Otten
gains in eleyatng himself to position Of
honor, hoping thus to show to the country
he high estimation in which he is held by
he people of Louisiana. But in this he is
doomed to disappointment.
The nominee Of the white people, f. John
Ellis will overwhelmingly defeat the ne
no candidate Dibble one is the representa-
i've of the intelligence the virtue and the
wealth OF the country and the other is a
political charlatan, the willing instrument Of
snorant negroes, seeking his own enrichment,
I'd using his power to debase and ruin the
7hite population of the State lie proposes to
epresent.
Such are the Democratic and Republican !,
and dates for Congress for whom the voters '
the Second District are called upon to vote. |
q one doubts the result. The gallant South
m gentleman will be called by the people y
hist the carpet-bagger and negro candidate i
lbble, will be properly rebuked, and Sc b
ontedly rejected, that he cannot misunder- :
and its full import and significance. Sue t,
'ss to John Ellis and confusion to Dibble
