MANUFACTURING POLITICAL LIES.
European Creditors Looking After
Their Capital.

Political feeling here Continues very bitter In all
quarters, and nobody can tell what day may
bring forth. For several days the convention for
the nomination OF parish officers has been In ses-
sion. 1t Is composed very largely OF negroes, whO
until to-day, have obeyed the mandates OF Kellogg
and Packard. When the ONCE Of Criminal Sheriff
was reached to-day colored members. who felt
that they were being used by the wtre-pulers,
''bolted" the nomination Of Badger. Cnef Of
Police who was wounded In the battle of the 14th,
and nominated a mulatt0 named Boutte, an ex-
, deputy sheriff. This nomination created the
greatest excitement, showing that the New Orleans
col0red people are not under the control OF Kel
logg. Feeling ran 30 high among the police
that one OF the guards OF Governor
Kellogg's once in my presence to-day de-
nounced his coiored associates In the convention
for defeating Badger, and exclaimed, Damn
Boutte; what has he ever done for the partyf II
/ meet hlm on post will shoot him.n One OF
Kellogg's officials tells me that this nomination
will .'hreak" the republican party into petty fac
tons. Having kicked over the party traces In this
way the colored delegates followed 1t up by pass
ing q resolution reafirming the confidence In
Pinchback, who leads the c0lored opposition to
Kellogg and the movement to fuse with the
whites, calling upon the United States Senate to
admit Plnchback to seat, and In case oil the
Senate falling to give him the seat the resolution
members OF the General Assembly "to put in
force aud execute this declaration OF the deliber-
ate wisdom OF the republican party in convention
assembled" This Is generally accepted as q
defiant notice to Governor Kellogg that he no
longer has the confidence OF the intelligent
coored me2 Of the party
"Governor" McEncry TO-DAY publishes another
letter, In which he embodies letter from Judge
Alexander Walker, with the view OF showing that
he (McEnery) has always been ready to submit his
claims to q seat to arbitration Judge Walker,
who Is one OF the editors OF the Ptcayune, stands
deservedly high in the confidence Of all parties.
and his word will not be disputed by any one In
this community. l may not probably interpret
the temper Of the people. but understand the
general opinion to be that, whether the rightful
Governor or not, Kellogg can no longer control
the coiored people. and that while he is making
gallant fight. and Is not even inundated by hints
OF assassination his usefulness as manipulation or
party politics Ii at an end. Iquestt0n very much
whether. with all the moral support or the federal
government, he can carry the state in opposition
to the conservatives and coiOred boilers from his
party.
The Ptcaywne to-day thus describes the scene in
yesterdays session OF the Convention, when KEEL
logg appeared upon the floor. 1t says:-

Colonel Wright State Supervisor OF Regstra-
ton, to-day produces q letter from United States
Supervisor Mar0ney, Of Coushatta, where the re-
cent murders were perpetrated. In which Maroney
charges that there Is reign or terror there; that
Captain Mitchell, OF the Third United States in
fantry, and his command have fraternized with
the White Leaguers that he refuses to give the
republicans arms to defend themselves; that the
whites threaten to kill all the republicans and at
! tack the troops and drive them out SO as to Sc.
cure military government. Yet, further on in
this manufacture OF lies, published simply to in
| nuence the elections, Maroney admits that the
| White Leaguers love the soldiers and hate the
government Of the State. The report concludes
by stating that il the fusion movement fails he
ana all the white republicans will be compelled to
take refuge In New Orleans.
The White Leaguers OF the city are still drilling
regularly; but TINS Is the only demonstration they
make. ff--s>'-. ~

/ NEW ORLEANS, Oct. Is, 1874.
An agent of all the European holders OF South.
ern State bonds has arrived here, and from him
| learn that the foreign creditors of these States
hold over 5000, 100000 in bonds. which he ts au-
thorized to SETTLE He has already settled with
the Governors OF Alabama, Virginia, South Caro-
| lima, North Carolina and Arkansas and nothing
now is required by State Legislatures to ratfy the
agreements. The basis OF the settlement Is
that the foreign holders Of bonds agree to
fund the debt of the several States principal and
interest, and extend the debt for twenty years
! at Jour or ave per cent interest per annum. he
Informs me that he Is prevented from settling the
$24 100000 debt OF this State, owing to the fact
that there is no government here with which to
settle. II there was government with which to
negotiate the domestic and foreign debt OF the
STATE, by extending 1t thirty years from January,
1875 or 1874 and accepting new funded bonds bear
ing four per cent interest," this would require
Louisiana to pay but $4,000 or $1,000 per year
interest on her total debt. It is believed that
Tennessee Will settle on the same basis.
The amounts already settled are:-virgnia,
$a4, 900. 600; South Carolina, about $4,000 900;
North Carolina, $2oO0o,o 900; Arkansas, about
| 49, 500, 600; Alabama, $S000,000.
The agent asserts that at nve per cent interest
on the debt tax Of two mills on the dollar OF
taxable property Will In sixteen years free any OF
the states OF their present Indebtedness. The
draft OF o bill to be submitted to all the State
Legislatures to confirm the settlement has been
prepared in London and has been approved by
the Governors Of the States named, and 1t Is be-
lieved will be adopted by all Of them. Not a dol
lar Of the principal Is required OF any State until
after thirty years. have carefully examined the
BILL and though 1t may be the work OF syndicate
