HOPE FOR LOUISIANA.

There is hope for the State of sorrow De-
| spite Federal bayonets and suborned Federal
Judges, despite Pinchback, and Packard, and
kell gg, and Casey; despite fraudulent debts
of millions of dollars, and despite usurpa ion
and anarchy, the people are waking and
working. In union lies their on hope.
With the opp 7sition torn asunder by factious
strife, the Republicans, with their control Of
registration and election, could easily 1ri-
umph. With harmonious opposition, that
triumph loses its certainty 1t may even be
turned into Waterloo of defeat. There is
now prospect Of harmony. The Demo-
CT ltic State Committee called convention at
Ne Orleans.
The Democratic party is divided into coun-
try and city factions. The former took alarm
Its leaders, headed by Gov McEnery, pro-
tested against session in New Orleans, and
urged the issuance Of a call to all honest citi-
zens, irrespective of party, to meet in conven-
ton at some point out that city. The New
Orleans Committee of Seventy, an organize
ton on the plan of the New York Committee
of equal numbers, Endorsed McEnery,s m mi
testo by q majority Of forty-nine. The Demo-
cratic call was subsequently revoked 1t has
now been decided to hold the Anti-Republican
Convention at Baton Rouge on the oath of
August.
The address convoking it appeals to call
Conservative voters, without reg ard to past
political affiliations, to unite on the election
OF delegates" Remember outraged and
wronged Louisiana" is to be the battle-cry of
the campaign National politics are to be sub
ordinate to State issues. The one question
will be the election of honest men, There
seems to be but little opposition to this pro-
gramme. The extreme spirits among the
"White Leaguers' are trying to insure negro
domination with result ng knavery by getting
up side-show for September l. but their eff
forts are not heartily seconded.
Some of these Leaguers are believed to be
in Radical pay. They are being used to split
the anti-Radicai vote. If they can be check
mated, the union Of the Conservative o-wit,
the honest-party will be complete An at
tempt has been made to heal the breach in
the Republican party by placi1 representa-
tives OF both the Packard and the Pinchback
clans on the State ticket, but the fight be-
tween the chiefs wakes hotter than ever The
mildest term which Pinchback's organ applies
to the friends Of Packard is "Thugs, and
Packard journal replies in kind. The rogues
have fallen out and the honest men may get

Recognizing Kellogg.

| MI. EHtOr-Any conference wi Mr. Kel-
logg, on the part of the Democratic party,
must necessarily result in an implied acknowl
edgment of his right to the office which he
has usurped, and will operate detrimentally
to our cause in the Congress of the nation
The enemies Of the Carpenter bill will be
certain to make such plea in bar of further
| consideration Of the matter
We cannot be too circumspect We have
a crafty, plausible, plant, INSCRIPTIONS
opponent in the de .facto, aided by astute poll
ticians and legal advisers. Morton, with onr
other antagonists in Congress- is wa ching
every move we make, and will not fail to
snatch at anythil G tending in the lie st to
acknowledge the existing governments.
The conference of Mr.. VOORHEES,, as Presi-
dent of the committee delegated by the State
and Parish Central Committees, and by the
Committee of Seventy, organized for
specific purpose, is apt to raise presumption
of recognition. Nothing could further the
ends of Mr.. Kellogg more. Registrars, acting
under his authority, part of whom are APP
POINTED on the suggestion of the opposing
party, party which has persistently de-
nounced that authority, furnishes strong
argument in favor of acquiescence
Our legally elected Governor was inaugu-
rated by legitimate Legislature, under every
manifestation OF enthusiasm, tempered by the
satduenlhS thought tnat the power OF the
General Government would be exerted to
render it of no effect.
In our hearts, and in our club rooms. we
swore allegiance to the State represented by
him, and the Peoples Legislature, and sol
EMMY denounced the bayonet-propped usur-
patton of his defeated opponent Let u.s.
then, call on Gov. McEnery to appoint regis
trars Let us hold our election for Repre-
sentatives under the lawful government OF the
peoples selection, and, whatever may be the
result, it cannot be said we are less Jealous
in the support Of our liberties than were our
forefathers 1t cannot be recorded in the
records of Congress and in the pages of his
tory that the Louisiana case has been settled
by tacit submission of the citizens to the
authority Of the usurpatiOn. LIBERTAs

Close Of Desperate Life.-Dln Egan
Stabbed to Death.-A CHASTITY
Spectacle.

At a quarter past o'clock last evening. az
James Clarke was walking along Annunciatio1
| street, near the corner of Thalla, accompanied
by woman named NIollie Kern, Dan Egal
was standing the opposite side in a crowd
OF men conversing, when according to Mr.
Robt Barry statement, who was an eve wit
ness, the following was the
ORIGIN OF THE QUARTET.
As was standing on the corner of Annun-
cation and ITALIA streets with some friends,
Mr.. Clark came along on the opposite side OF
the street with girl About that time Dan
Egan. "Bowleg" Donovan and a man I'M
known came along and stopped in the crowd
AS Clark passed, Egan called over to the
woman, asking her an improper question
The girl answered in like language when
Egan said, II will come over and kick you, 81
whereupon Clark said, "No you won't: not
while I'm with her"
Egan then crossed over and put his threat
into execution whereupon he and Clark
cllnched, when fight ensued, at which time
the cutting was DONE l then went over, states
Mr.. Barry, and found that Egan was dead,
when l went up to the Pacanier Station, and
informed Capt Robinson of what had occur
red. In the meantime Clark surrendered him
self to Corporal Labussan and was taken to
tina above station.
The corpse was taken to the Station where
Coroner Folwell held the autopsy The body
presented
CHASTITY SIGHT,
laid on a litter and reeking in blood. There
were fine wounds inflicted upon the pc. son of
the deceased-two in the throat, entering the
carotid artery, either of which, the Doctor
states, would have been sufficient to kill the
VICTIM the other three We're flesh woun Is,
two being in the left arm and one in the lett
chest, just below the nipple. The wounds
" re inflicted with pocket knife.
The name Of Dan Egan is well known in
this community, and no one will wonder,
from his past career, at the circumstances of
his death. We then asked to see Mr. Clrake,
when we were conducted into his cell. Mr..
Clarke is a young man Of twenty years of age,
the son OF Mr. Clarke, a grocer on the
corner of Constance and ITALIA reats Mr.
Clarke's statement agrees with that Of Mr.
Barry, except that he says Egan had him
down and was kicking him in tae head and
chest, and another man, whom he did not
recognize was assisting Egan, when Dono-
van Che thinks) came up and pulled him off.
The inquest has been continued until Thurs
day, the Goth inst. The names of the wit
nessess were taken, and they were ali sworn
in. SO ends another chapter in blood. Egan
has been known to the citizens Of New Or
leans for some time past as a noted burglar
and desperate character.

ing two delegates to represent the parish in the

tary.
On motion Of Mr. PHILIPPE Toca, and duly Sc
conded, two delegates were elected to the State
Convention, namely, Messrs. r. Brown and
Hampden Strong.
MIR. Hampden Strong offered the following re-
solutions:
Whereas the action Of the mean and unprn-
cipled Government foisted upon the people of
Louisiana in 1868 by that arch-fend H. G.. War
moth, has lett its whitening blight upon all
classes of our population at this present day;
and whereas, the frauds and other iniquities be-
gun in the first Radical Legislature have been
faithfully continued by the party now in power,
eliminating in the passage Of nearly all the laws
OF the last Legisatu by the negro Chief Clerk Of
the House OF Representatives,; and whereas it is
time these frauds and mp)sltion5 were brought
to an end, and for our safety let be inst and
fear not misunderstanding frauds and checking
it all hazarks if attempted by t e unprincipled
leaders in the ranks Of the Radicals; therefore
be it
Resolced, That we cordially indorse the ad-
dress Of the Derpocratic Central Committee to
the people of Louisiana, it being conservative III
tone and character and so liberal that any party
can with safety act under it,
Res5ired That, as there are but two sexes for
the perpetuation of the human race, so let there
be but two parties for the good Of mankind-a
third is hermaphrodite, always imperfect, and of
no use IN community.
Besolrea, That we will give equal rights to all
registered voters, white and black, and we re-
peat that all legal voters will be protected in
their rights, and all discovered frauds will be
severely punished.
Resotced, That as the white race rules in the
Northeast and West, so shall it rule in the South,
and we advise negro population to make a
note of it and to govern themselves accord
ingly.
The Secretary was requested to hand copies Of
the proceedings of the Convention to the Bull
LETIN and Ptcoyuae for publication.
