AN EFFORT TO EoUALIzE THE PRICES OF WAGES
AND PROVISIONAL large meeting of the work.
ingmen Of Phenixville was held in Market Hall
OF that place on Saturday evening last for the
purpose of taking some action whereby they
could purchase their provisions at such prices as
to enable them to live on their present wages
which they say are insufficient at this time. A
number of schemes were suggested, one of
which was that they dispense with eating beef
and quit patronZing the markets for ninety
days, and thereby compel the butchers and mar
ket men TO lower their prices which they deemed
exorbitant and dlHproportonate to tho time. A
commmittee was appointed To ascertain at what
rates could be obtained in Philadelphia with a
view to the formation of a league similar to that
OF the Patrons of Husbandry, and also to ascer-
tain the feasibility Of killing their own beef,
sheep, hogs, &c.

met, about O'Clock, by three masked men, who
knocked him down and robbed him OF $50, in
money and large part Of the goods which his
pack contained. When first felled to the
ground, he made an attempt at resistance, but
the ruftians drew pistols and threatened him with
instant death if he did not desist from crying
out, and he desisted. The man was not seriously

FREEDOM GAINS IN CUBA,

Instead of being, after five years of
public war, compressed into tie tip and
extreme end Of the island, republican
Cuba is on the aggressive. The line of
lntrenchments constructed by the slave
holders across the island was in effect a
measure defensive of themselves, and now
tree Cuba has crossed this intrenchment,
advanced beyond, and defied the troops
stationed for its defense. A large and Or
gained body of free men, under the COM
niand OF negro general, is destroying
the cane crop and sugar houses, and draw
ing the slaves by thousands to his banner.
The engagements between the republicans
and the shareholders demonstrate the
incapacity of the latter to resist
these raids. Battles in which a fight
of day results in the killing and
wounding of ten or twelve On each side,
amount to nothing. They prove the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-08-06

republicans masters of the situation.
The appeal to Spain for aid, and the
rumor that twelve thousand men are to
be sent from the army of Spain, unable to
expel the invading monarch from her
soil, confirms the weakness of the slave
holders, as also the growing and gathering
strength of the Republicans. The slave
holders have destroyed the currency
and exhausted the capacity of COM
merce to bear further burdens. Their
assent to further contributions is moth
ing but a salvage paid on their slaves.
The excessive tax paid By the Amer
leans on Western produce imported
for slave consumption is the sole
support Of the war against freedom. The
apprehension of the refners and consum-
ers Of sugar lest emancipation should
advance the price of the raw material
constitutes the sole obstacle to the estab-
lishment of freedom in Cuba and her adj
mission as the most productive State (in
agricultural of the American Union.
The Quaker City of Philadelphia, which
always advocated the abolition of South
ern slavery and the acquisition of "cheap
helps by the farmers and housekeepers
of the Keystone State, has driven thriv-
ing trade with the Cuban STAKEHOLDER, and
has profted greatly by the sugar crop
made by slave and coolie labor. We now
expect a movemant fro NJ Philadelphia in
favor of Free Republi can Cuba. Why?
The negro General at the head of this
cane brigade is advancing into the sugar
districts. The slaves are focking to his
column, chimneys are falling, sugar trains
are shattered, cane is left to rot in the
fields. The Shareholders can not prevent
or arrest this destruction. What will the
abolitionist refners Of Philadelphia do !?
Of course, they will run to Washington
and beseech Secretary Fish to stop this
war, for the emancipation Of the slave?
Not at all, but lest the growing crop of
sugar be destroyed, the price raised and
the profits of the refinery diminished.
We are beginning to hope that the Cuban
Republicans will march to the sea, and if
civilization and cipation will not in
tervene in behalf Of freedom, that the
Republicans of Cuba will leave not a
sugar cane nor a sugar train in Cuba.
Over this the retiners will howl, and Lou
isiana, which has always sympathized with
Cuban freedom, will supply any vacuum
in the sugar eonsum ption, at rates of
which the Quaker City refners can not,
under the circumstanc complain.

PROCLAMATION.


STATE OF LOUISIANA
Executive Department ,
New Orleans, July "a, 1874. }
Whereas. during the night q the ninth of July.
1874 on the Bayou Pierre road, in the parish of
Caddo thirteen miles from the city of Shreveport,
one MANUEL MUNOS, an industrious and unoffend-
ing Spaniard was called from his bed and cruelty
murdered in cold blood by body Of armed and
mounted men, claiming to belong to the so-called
White League of Caddo parish, on the false pre-
text that he had been carrying arms to negroes.
Whereas these same men subsequently proceeded
to rob the widow and fatherless children Of the
said Nunez of all the money and valuables they
possessed, leaving them in a state of sickness and
utter destitution and whereas such crimes are q
disgrace to the State community which toler.
ates them or permits them to go unpublished;
Now, therefore, I, William Pitt Kellogg, Cover
nor of the State of Louisiana, with view, if pos
sble, of bringing the perpetrators of this outrage
to Justice. and of preventing the repetition of
such crimes in the future, do issue this, my
proclamation offering reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS for such evidence as shall lead to the
arrest and conviction of the said murderers any
of them.
Given under my hand and the seal of the State
hereto attached this twenty-fourth day of july in

to the civil and political rights Of the ne
gro" Between these two there can be no
compromise, and the attempt to get to-
gether as an army the miserable stragglers
from either, reinforced by the indolent,
the Indifferent and the stupid, and set
such corporal's guard up as a third
party, having the balance Of power, will
prove miserable failure. Those who
wish to defeat the Republican party must
join the Democratic, or waste their
strength; and those to whom the name OF
Democracy is an offense must take sides
with the Republicans. There is no mid
die course, no Liberal Conservative Or
ganization, claiming support and offering
assurance of success. Monsters never do
succeed, and 'sliberal conservatism, :"

doris leading to the hall of the House u
Representatives were filed with men WV
seemed deeply interested in the e'en''
that were about to transpire.
Shortly after - NJ, the convention was
called to order by S. B. Packard, Esq
chairman Of the State Central Commlt'oo'
who, in short, terse address, informed tne
delegates that they had come together 1or
the good of the Republican party, ana ne
hoped no bad blood would show ltsel1 10
prevent the business of the convention
being conducted to that end, es he believed
the best interests of the State were lnti-
mately allied with the success OF the ke-
publican party. He then ordered the call
of the State Central Committee con-
vening the convention to be read.
After that the names Of the dele
gates claiming to be members OF the
convention were read, and it became ap-
parent that in many of the parishes of the
State and wards of this city two sets OF
delegates were knocking at the door OF the
convention for admission. Here was an
element of strife that would certainly have
seriously interrupted the harmony OF the
convention but for the wisdom OF the State
Central Committee. That body seeing
there was trouble ahead if not averted,
passed a resolution just before the
meeting of the convention that was
calculated to preserve harmony in
its organization. The resolution was read
by Mr.. Packard. 1t prescribes how the
convention shall be temporarily organized
allowing the double delegations equal par
ticlpation in the same. The convention was
pleased with this action of the State Cen.
trail Committee and prodeeded at once to
effect an organization by electing Hon
David Young temporary president of the
convention. That gentleman seemed sur
prised at the honor thus conferred, and upon
taking the chair, said that when he left his
house in the parish of Concordia, he did not
even dream that he was to be chosen as the
president of the convention that was about
to meet IN New Orleans to lay down line
of action for the great Republican party in
the future.
Mr.. Young has been placed in position
of honor and trust, and will comport him
self in manner that will forward the best
interest of the party he represents, and re-
fleet credit upon himself
After completing the temporary organiza-
ton and appointing committee on creden-
tials, the convention adjourned until to-
day

LIBERAL CONSERVATIVES"

The above quoted phrase has been used
lately by some of our contemporaries as
if it described a certain class, or political
subdivision among our people. There is
no such hybrid subdivision in this State.
Here as elsewhere liberals are in favor Of
progress; of accepting the doctrine of
growth in politics as we'll as in nature; Of
letting the people of to-day judge of the
wants Of to-day; of using the experience of
our ancestors just SO far as that ex-
perience can help US and no further;
above all-of allowing the utmost indivi-
dual liberty Of opinion and expression, on
the broad scriptural ground that what is
evil will come to naught. Conservatives
on thei contrary, here as elsewhere, are
those who cling to the past, who have
superstitious reverence for whatever is
old because it is old, and distrust of
whatever is new because it is new: who
accomplish no work except of an obstruc-
tive kind, and are by nature incapacitated
for improvement, being as has been wit
thy said, ''the mules Of politics that en-
gender nothing"
In this State they do not constitute a
political subdivision, but when they act
politically at all are obliged to fall into
the Democratic ranks, as their opposites,
the liberals, have no choice but to act
with the Republican party. In fact there
are but two parties in the State-the
party of continual progress, universal
education, individual liberty, civil rights,
national unity-in short, the Republican
party, and their opponents, the Democrat
ic party, whose central idea is opposition
