Address Of the State Central Committee Of
the Democratic Party Of Louisiana.

Rooms DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, !
July 7, 1874.
To the People of Louisiana
The Democratic State Central Committee, in
convoking State Convention of the Democ-
racy at New Orleans, for the fourth Monday
Of August, A. d. 1874, appeals with con-
hdence to all conservative voters, without ref
erence to past political affiliations to unite in
the election Of delegates to this Convention.
This committee is not unmndfnl that
some may be reluctant to join the ranks OF a
party, which, in past contests, they have
opposed But this party is the only national
organization now confronting Radicaism and
battling for constitutional principles -prin-
ciples, in violation OF which this Usurpation
has been foisted on Louisiana, and our people
subjected to political and judicial persecution
Recent discussions among our people, and
q deep and abiding desire to unite all the ele-
ments opposed to Radicalism, admonish us
not to risk everything upon our own isolated
and unaided efforts although, in this emer-
gency, duty prompts us to exert ourselves as
if We were dependent upon our sole resources
Issues are forced upon us, which we cannot
and do not desire to evade. But We will meet
them with such determination and energy that
We cannot fail to achieve success
We do not contemplate interfering with the
constitutional and legal rights of the co.ored
people, but, on the other hand, the Democracy
are determined to uphold and maintain the
rights Of the white man. The fact stares us in
the face that the negro element has been grad
ually, but effectually abs rbing the Govern
ment of Louisiana the logical result of its
combined partisan action, "a race that I'M
der the shallow pretense Of legislating against
class or race distinctions, the colored Radicals
have invariably been establishing such distinc-
items in disparagement of the whites and that
the tendency of Louisiana Radicalism, now
thoroughly controlled by them, is to establish
negro supremacy i'll Louisiana.
The incubus OF excessive taxation must be
removed No taxes should be levied or tppro-
priatiOns made, except to carry on the func-
tons Of government honestly and economic
cally administered; until tho taxpayers Of
Louisiana shall have had an opportunity to
inquire into the nature and validity of the
obligations which have been issued in the
name of Government.
Therefore. forgetful Of past differences, and
casting from our breasts all heartburn gs,
let there be cordial union Of all the con
servatives Of Louisiana.
The Democratic party has no enmities to
Yratify, and holds out the hand OF fellowship
to all those who are disposed to aid US i'll this
crisis. tional politics are subordinate i'll
this canvass The vital issue is redemption
from "a corrupt State Government and local
misruie.

The abomimble passport system, which
ought to be repudiated by every free country,
is gradually becoming more extended and
more stringent throughout Europe. Even in
the petty Kingdom OF Greece, this system has
lately become more rigid. Last month the
projects received circular announcing that
the Greek Government had decided to pro-
hibit foreigners from entering Greece without
passports vised by the Greek consuls. Trav-
cling in Greece is neither SO pleasant nor safe
that an additional local obstacle should be
raised up against it.

elephant compares in muscular tiexibility with
the tongue. 1t varies in length and size in rep
liar organic circumstances of each. A giraffe
tongue has the function Of finger. 1t is hooked
over a high branch, its strength being equal to
breaking off large. strong branches Of trees from

ant-bear's tongue is long and round like whip
lash. The animal tears open dry clay walls OF
ant hills, thrusts in its tongue, which sweeps
round the apartment, and by its adhesive saliva
brings out yard Of ants at swoop. The mech

commitment and inquire whether the magistrate
had jurisdiction; whether that jurisdiction was
properly exercised under the law, and even
whether there is properly defined otfense in the
statute under which the magistrate has acted;
but there is very great and most important
difference between undertaking to determine
that the magistrate has not acted
WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE LAW.
OF thats the law does not properly define the
otense intended to be created, and determining
that the Legislature violated the provisions OF
the Constitution IN enacting the law. The ques-
ton determined in the former case, Is the capacl-
ty Of the magistrate to act in the latter it is the
power of the Legislature under the Constitution.

Pioneer ExperIence.


Ed. 1eI.-Thinking il might be interest
ing to some of your readers, will relate
a circumstance that came under my per-
sonal observation, showing the courage of
one of the pioneer women.
The name of James Gordon is familiar
to all of the old settlers of Ashtabula and
Plymouth townships, his father, Thomas
Gordon, having migrated 10 Ashtabula in
the year 1908; when James came to his
majority, he purchased land in the south
east part of then Ashtabula, now Plymouth
Having cleared few acres in 1919, put
up log house, married wife and COM
menced house keeping Mr.. Gordon's
business frequently called him from home
and he would occasionally tarry over
night Mrs. Gordon was woman that
was not afraid of her shadow-women in
those days didn't make shadows as they
do now-neither was she afraid of the
dark, as the sequel will show.
1t was on one of those nights of Mr.
Gordon's absence, that Bruin was out on
a foraging expedition, and came upon his
premises and seized one of his hogs, the
screams of which awakened Mrs. Gordon.
She at once OWNED the cause and was-up
and after him. L being dark, she was un-
able to see the object of her pursuit, but
followed the cries of the hog. Bruin. in
the mean time, had conveyed his game to
the tree fence adjoining the wilderness
here he was delayed, and here Mrs. Cor,
don came upon him and endeavored 10
make him relinquish his game, which he
refused TO do, at the same time intimating
to Mrs. Gordon in unmistakable language.
that if she valued her safety she had bet.
ter keep proper distance. Owing to the
force of his language. she concluded he
was in earnest and meant what he said.
She therefore very reluctantly gave up
the pursuit and returned TO the house for
reflection. Her mind was soon made up
She was bent on revenge, and to accom-
plish this she must have reinforcement
She accordingly took her babe in her arms
and groped her way nearly three-uuar.
ters of mile, TO the house of David Bur.
nett. She soon made known the cause OF
her untimely call, and Mr.. Burnett and
his brother-in-law, David White,wa soon
on the move, and as soon as it was SUI
fciently light, with rifle in hand, they ae-
companied her home, and she putting
them on the trail, they moved cautiously
along until they came to the carcass. Bruin
having taken his breakfast, upon their ap-
proach absconded. will not relate all
the particulars of the campaign. suffice
it to say, Mr.. Gordon procured steel
trap and in due time induced him 10 trv
it on his foot, and he being very much
dissatisfied with the fit, and endeavorino
TO aextricate himself broke the chain al
tached to the clog and walked off with
the trap. Pursuit was made and bruin
was oYertaken, slain, and carried back to
camp, aud Mrs. Gordon had the satisfac-
ton Of seeing bruin lying llfeless at her
feet. IA

FIRE.-A fire burst OutEery unaccount-
ably. on Wednesday morning, about six
O'Clock in the north west corner of Zeilles'
tspnery. When the alarm was given the
nrouress of the flames was such that their
cracking could be heard about the neigh
borbood. and notwithstanding the build
ing was wet by the recent rains, the fire
spread rapidly and gave every indication
that the destruction of the establishment
was sure. Some of the stock was gotten
out, but the heat aud smoke soon began 10

Protection CO., with their dispatch in get
ting 10 work soon changed the aspect as
well as the prospect of things. The flre
was subdued, with comparatively little
camage to anything but The building

$3.50 worth of stock was burned, and two
large cisterns, or vats, in the back part OF
The building, where the fire took, were
considerably injured, and one of them'
perhaps, spoiled. The engine and ma
chinery were not injured. The cause OF
the fire is mystery, as it was not used in

LICENSE AND NO LICENSE.
How They Work.

Some of the friends of temperance
are in doubt whether the interests
of the cause will best be promoted
by a stringent license law, or for
voting for ''no license" The fol
lowing facts, showing the workings
of the principles, will aid them in
this decision. They are extracted
from letter, by Hon. VIM. Baxter,
of Indiana. He says:
From 1868 to 1872, we had in In
diana license law. In order for a
peson to secure secure a license
under that law, he had to prove
a good character before the county
commissioners; show he was a prop
er person to be intrusted with a
license, pay fee and even then was
restrained from selling on Sunday
and to minors, etc. So that this was
what many people would call a strin-
gent license law. Well, what was
the effect of this license law? Did
it restrain the traffic, or the evils re-
sulting therefrom? Not a bit of it.
It rather formed shield for the
dealer to ply his unholy traffic with
out let or hindrance. During those
ten years of stringent license, the
number of saloons increased SIX
times faster than the polls. AS
consequence, pauperism increased
SIX times, and crime nine times, Ias-
Ter than the increase of polls
Whereas in the State of Maine, with
ont prohibition from 1856 to 1872,
her criminals actually decreased
more than one half-trom two hun
dred and four to one hundred.
What more conclusive testimony
can any reasonable person ask to
convince him that prohibition and
not license, is the true principle to
check the fearful evils resulting
from the drink traffic?
But let US illustrate this point q
little further. In December, 1872,
with our stringent license law, there
were in Indiana, 26l,s69 polls, g
094 saloons, and $40 conviots COM
mitted. In December, 1873, under
the so called Baxter law, with its
local option provision, etc, there
were 265,s54 polls, l,4s7, saloons
and $50 convicts committed. Thus
it will be seen that while saloons IN
creased six times faster than the
polls, under a stringent license law'
under the Baxter law, with its pro-
hibitory feature of local option, etc,
saloons decreased nearly one third,
and pauperism and crime, decreased
about in the same proportion.

The effect of the strike among the
miners of the Superior region, as
mentioned last week, is an impedi-
ment in the ore business, as was
feared. Some of the vessels running
to this Harbor are laying up, this
being about the only business that
offers. The Barnum Mine is one of
those suffering from the Strikers, and
the consequence will be hauling off
of the large prop. " H. Barra,1no,
and the large Schr. Ferry, belong
ing to the Barnum Mining Co.
Some of the companies, as the Cap
tains informs us, would be glad to
shut down, on account of the small
amount of ore demanded, andbut for
contracts, would do so. These will, no
doubt, avail themselves of the addi-
tional inducement furnished by the
strike to carry out their wishes. This
would seem to every man but such as
are beset with striking propensities,
most unfavorable time for throwing
up situations and work, and trusting
for livelihood, to the uncertainties
that are usually consequent upon
these extreme measures.
