Miss M. A. Brotheridge asks us to say that
she is now receiving large stock of new goods
at her fancy store, on Main street, a few doors
below the First National Bank. She declares
that she will not be undersold, and it would be
wellto call and see if this is So She sent us the
names of some of the different kinds of goods
she is receiving, but we think the better way is
just to ask the people, especially the women,
to call and see her goods. They will be sure to
be perfectly delighted with her elegant goods.

from the premises; for certainly no
Democratic and Conservative
parties Of the tenth senatorial dis
tfict are endowed with the royal
pferogative Of pledging The people
of the district to obey the behests
of few individuals of CalcasieU,
styling themselves parish con
vention. The fourth resolution
possesses no force, as shown by
the fifth. The fifth resolution
gives a fiat denial to the second (;
for if, according to the second
resolution, the choice Of candi-
date was il the hands Of the con-
vention, why submit the choice to
the Democratic Executive Com
nnittees of the sister parishes, sub
ject to their approval, or to call
for q District Convention? This
resolution is a masterpiece in its
way, and somewhat dictatorial;
for the executive committee must
either approve the choice Of the
convention, or call district con-
vention. They must not reject
the choiceof tile Calcasieu sachems;
they must not dare to make a
choice Of their own Suppose the
executive committee should ap-
prove of the choice Of the conven-
ten, what then? Will the people
be bound? Clearly not, for exeeu-
tive committees have no such
power, and the people are not the
slaves Of their committees. The
preacher has said there IS nothing
new under the sum- but be was
decidedly mistaken, for this CaIca-
sieu convention is something SO
new that its like has never been
heard of before. There is only
one thing it reminds us Of, and
that is the frog in the fable, who
tried to swell out to the size of
the OK, and who went "Where
the woodbine tWineth."

Doctor means that money was
paid to secure the passage Of the
bill, / can not answer his question
directly I will, therefore, treat it
alphabetically. JIG money was not
paid, the question Is superfinous,
and does not require an answer.
If money was paid to secure its
passage, and those who voted for
il received any part thereof, know
ing it to be ia payment for their
votes or support, it is proof first,
that they were corrupt legislators,
and for q similar indueement
would vote for any bill, however
iniquitous and damaging it might
be TO the interests and liberties
Of the people.
Second-If the passage of the
bill was paid for, and those voting
for it received the money, directly
or indirectly, their should be none
SO low as to do them reverence,
and none 50 abandoned and void
of honor as to refuse to point the
finger Of scorn and contempt at
them.
Third IF its passage was paid
for, the company, for whose benefit
the bin was passed, will reimburse
the amount from the pockets Of
the people of New Orleans, and
mainly from the poor, as they sub
sist on their daily earnings, and
are compelled to procure their
fresh meats from the market men.
Fourth If the passage Of the
bill was no injustice to the people
of New Orleans, there will be none
to the people Of Calcasieu by the
passage Of a similar bill for the ben
eft Of one or more men in Lake
Charles, or the parish; but if it
would be an imposition on the
people of Calcasieu, it is equally
SO on New Orleans.
Fltth-It money was paid for
its passage, those paying, with
those receiving it, are enemies Of
their race, in that they counte-
nanced dishonesty in their high
and responsible positions, thereby
exerting a demoralizing influence
on the morals Of the people, par
ticularly of the young men, by
familiarizing them with corrup-
tionin high official positions, which
corruption, if continued, will even
tuatein bankruptcy Of the State and
people, and the overthrow Of civil
and political liberty.

Letter from Cameron Parish.

LEEsBURd, July 10, 1874.
Editor Weekly Echo
The all-absorbing topic how is
unquestionably the senatorship !;
before it mere home matters fade
into airy nothing. Even the ar
dent heat of midsummer and the
gentle breezes Of the sea, Turing
us to the enjoyment Of the " "dolce
far nieate," fail to soothe as into
forgetfUlness of the coming cam
paign. Shut our eyes to it, we can
not;sthe people we meet speak of
nothing else, the newspapers we
read are filed with it, and withal
the question is yisibly and tangibly
placed before us by the presence
now and then in our midst OF a
certain knight Of the scalpel, who
begins to haunt Cameron like
some "disembodied spirit" 1T
may be business, it may be pleas.
ure that brings the worthy gentle
man to us; but still, no matter
what it is, his simple presence,
on the principle Of mental associ-
alton, forces upon us the inevitable
question Of the next Senator for
our district. And this, Mr.. Editor,
leads to a few reflections on the
convention held in your parish.
A parish convention has nomi-
mated a Senator for the district |
This i'd d monstrosity as shocking
to the political mind, as the deolar-
alton that the less includes the
greater would be to the mathemat-
ical mind. Truly, "there are more
things in heaven and earth than
are dreamt Of in our philosophy.
The resolutions passed BY Tho
convention furnish intrinsic evi-
dence that that body was at sea
without rudder or compass. They
are weak and inconclusive, even
contradictory. The very FIRST reso-
luton il tantamountt to an ndorse-
ment of the Kellogg usurpation,
and consequently a condemnation
of Governor McEnery and the
true men that stuck to him ii the
dark days Of 1873. The second
resolution in O preamble to the
third, and ends with Che conclu
sion, therefore leaving tho choice
ia our hands as 70 who shall be
our candidate This IS clearly
what lawyers coll q non seQm'tgg
