''Carpet.Ba ggefs. -

For years past the Democracy of Louisi-
ana have assumed the existence of an
imaginary class called the "carpet-baggers.'
who, like vampires, we're sucking the life
blood of prosperity from the State. 1t is
assumed that corporal's guard of adven-
turers, ex-federal soldiers, or natives OF
other States, have successfully welded the
political majorities Of this State against all
the powers of intelligence, wealth and po'
litical training which her native whites pos
sessed. 1t is almost incredible to believe
that such a statement could be seriously
made, much less be adhered to, in view OF
the facts which can be abundantly proven
by an examination of the public records,
that at no time since reconstruction have
the ''carpet-baggers" outnumbered the ma
tive whites" in either the Supreme Court,
State Offices, the Legislature, Or the paro-
chial governm ents.
We ask the White Leaguers to seriously
consider these facts, and see if the true
cause of Louisianas misfortunes can not be
assigned to general depravity of public
morals and the prejudices survi wing great
war. There are probably not three carpet
baggers in State offices from the Teche to
the Texas line, and the remainder are held
by ex- -Confedera ates of the ''Oldest and best"
class.

Chamber of Commerce.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce, presided over by
Hon. Moses Greenwood, vice president, was
held last evening.
The minutes of previous meetings we're
read and approved.
Mr.. Seixas offered resolution ON the
Bonnet Caro- crevasse which provoked
much discussion, but was finally referred to
the committee on railroads.
Mr.. Forshey then offered the following
which was adopted:
Resolred, That the committee on railroads
be instructed to urge upon the Levee Com
pany and the levee commission the neces.
sity Of devOting their means available in
constructing the large levees in preference
to the smaller, and especially to commence
upon the Bonnet Care levee at the earliest
day, and TO push it to completion with dis.
patch.
There being no other business to be trans.
acted, the Chamber adjourned.

A Refugee Schoolmaster from st. Mary.
Rev. Marcus Dale, of Cypremort, St.
Mary parish, and other Republicans are
now in this city because, as We are in
formed, they do not feel it safe to remain at
their homes IN that parish. Mr.. Dale is 3
graduate of Oberlin, Ohio, College and the
pastor of a thriving Methodist congregation. co
For some time he has taught a public
school and held by appointment OF Gov
ernor Kellogg the position of police juror.
He is q colored man Of more than ordinary
ability and has acquired respectable influ'
ence among his people. He has been fre-
quently commended by the Conservative
press as good citizen. and no specific
charge has been preferred against him ex-
cept that he Is Republican by the whites
of St. Mary, but this has seemed sufficient
to warrant threats against his life and
thereby to destroy his peace and happiness
While regretting that such spirit of intol
erance should exist, We hope that the good
sense of the whites of St. Mary will show
to them the folly of their course, and that
Mr.. Dale and his associates may be assured
Of full protection at their homes.

That Gig Race.

The gig race as rowed at the grand
regatta of the fourteenth Of September,
has been declared null and void. It is
therefore announced that the race will be
rowed over again tomorrow without fail.
The HOwards are determined to row, as
any postponement will debar them from
participating, the members of that club
being so situated in their business relations
during the winter as to preclude practice.
As the other clubs have had twenty days
notice and time to train and prepare, it is
expected they will put in an appearance.
Whether they do or not, the Howards
will row over the course.

No Further reinforcement.

The public may dismiss all fear Of any
further postponement of the fifth and last
gift concert Of the Public Library of Ken
lucky. The management has determined
that the drawings shall take place as ad-
vertised, on the thirtieth of November
next. The experience of the previous
drawing enables those in charge of this, the
last, to calculate with positive certainty
upon the sale of tickets; and the indica-
tions to this date have been most favora-
BILE. No one wishing to purchase tickets

The Fort St. Philip Canal.

News has been received that one of the
committee on whose report will depend the
inception of the canal from the river to the
gulf, will be here in few days. Professor
Mitchell, of the coast survey, has taken
this time to make his observations, and
perhaps will be in New Orleans next week.
The observations he intends to make will,
in part, be directed in the vicinity of the
passes. several miles from them, in about
fifty fathoms OF water, and also to the pro-
dnction Of positive evidence relative to the
existence and position of littoral current.
The only vessel which can be used advan-
tageously in aid of Professor Mitchell is the
revenue cutter John A. Dix, commanded by
Captain E. A. Freeman, and Collector Casey

Democratic State Central Committee.

democratic state Central Committee
A meeting of this body was held last
night, Mr.. Mari in the chair. Most of the
country members were present. and the COM
mitree remained in session about four hours,
having, it is said, quite stormy time. The
matter of compromise was that which
brought the committee together, and it's
labors were finally concluded by the adop-
ton of the following resolution:
Resolved, That the State Central Com
mittee, at its meeting on the fifth of Oc-
tOber, 1874, reafirm the action of the State
Central Committee taken on the twenty
fifth of September, 1874, in reference to the
agreement made by the Conservative men,
bers OF the conference committees, but we
formally protest that our party is not d.
rectly or indirectly responsible for any act
OF lawlessness and intimidation in the State,
and against any Interpretation to that ef-
feet being placed upon the language of the
preamble OF said agreement, and that
committee of seven be appointed by the
chair to issue an address explanatory Of the
agreement.
By this action it will be eeen that the
Committee disclaim responsibility for the
action OF the White League throughout the
State, and that the conference committee,
on the Democratic side, made promise of
results over which it had no control.

REGIsTRR! REGISTER /:

Let every Republican who has not
already done SO Immediately register his
name and become qualified to participate
in the coming election. The importance Of
registration can not be too strongly i'm.
pressed upon the minds Of all. No man en-
titled by age and residence to vote can be
said to have done his duty to himself, his
family, his State and his country who is
found unregistered when the time for regis
tratiOn has expired. Even if you are think
ing not to vote, do not fail to register. No
true man can be Indifferent to the issues
worth in the future will be measured by
his efforts to do his duty in the present.
Let it be remembered that the bal
lots voice speaks for all. 1t can show
no preference or favor. The vote of the
humblest colOred man, thanks to q benefi-
cent Republican government and wise
administration of just laws, is as powerful
in continuing and upholding those privileges
as that of the highest in the land. Our
enemies have reported that in some in
stances colored men have been induced to
part with their evidences Of registration.
No man can afford to trife thus with his
heritage for mess of Democratic pottage.
Register, and when you have registered
hold and guard your certificate as thing
sacred as your liberty and life, which de.
pends on judicious voting and good
government as q result. Efforts have
also been made by the opposition
to prevail upon some to attempt to
register more than once. that charges
of fraud may find foundation. He who
counsels such action is an enemy in the
camp, as all men advising dishonesty are
enemies. What is wanted and what must
be had is fair election. With clear Re-
publican majority of more than 10000 in
this State, all that the most ardent Repub.
ican wants or can desire is full and fair
vote. Disregard all Democratic mottoes
for "voting early and often" That privi-
lege will not be allowed to Democrats; to
make such an attempt is unnecessary, and
would be suicidal for Republicans. Let
one and all Republicans register once and
vote once, only this, but all of this, and Re-
publican victory is assured, and all good
citizens of Louisiana will have done their
duty. Remember one man with vote on
election day is worth any number of men
Who have none!

Politics in st. Landry.

From the following, from the Opelousas
journal of the second, we judge there is q
wonderful lack of harmony among the op-
position in St. Landry:
The parish convention that met here last
Saturday, which was to have been fusion
convention of Democrats and White Lea
confusion. We shall not attempt to report
or describe il. All the shorthand and de-
scriptive reporters in the world could not
do it Justice. Babel and Bedlam united,
and on spree, might give some idea OF this
convention representing the intelligence, re-
|. finement and patriotism Of St. Landry: but
it is without parallel in the history of the
parish. A gentleman, recently become
resident of the parish; said he had seen
both the Warmoth and Kellogg legisla-
lures, but he never saw anything to
equal this convention. Yelling, scream.
ing, laughter aud profanity were the
order of the day. That class of gentlemen
in it, who had been accustomed to attend.
ing dignitied conventions in other days.
showed supreme disgust in their counte-
nances and expressed themselves according
ly. A large number considered it huge
monkey show, admission free, and they took
part with vim. They are not done laugh
ing over it yet. We shall not repeat or
ucbCIiDo cULuO VI DhO cOOACS SA"o ocouAAoA'
The drdmatis persoNG are an essential part
for q full appreciation Of this political
comedy, and We do not wish to be per-
sonal. Shakespeare lived at the wrong
time. He lost an opportunity to make his
name more celebrated and immortal than it
is; and our political heroes OF st. Landry
have missed the only master artist who
could do full justice to their fantastic
tricks" on the political stage. But the
delegates of course will recount them to
their constituents in the different parts of
the parish, and the outside world had better
not know them.
The battle between the two contending
factions, Democrats and White Leaguers,
began in the morning, when the first step
was taken to organize the convention, and
ragged hercely until near sundOwn, without
accomplishing single object for which
the convention had been called. The Dem
ocrats defeated their opponents on q square
vote for president; but this, instead of re-
storing quiet and order, added fury to the
contest. The Democrats gained another
victory in the report of the committee on
credentials, embracing several White
Leaguers, and this only increased the vim
and pluck of the Leaguers. They made a
gallant fight. with the majority against
them. Finally, toward the close Of the
day, the contending factions separated, the
Democrats reoccupying their old station IL
the lower story Of the courthouse. and
the White Leaguera their old stand ny
stairs.
