Crescent City Relief association.

New ORLEANS. Oct. 10, 1874.
The CRESCENT CITY RELIEF ASSOCIA~
TION has been organized by the Ladies of New
Orleans for the purpose Of providing fund from
which aid may be rendered to the families OF
those who fell in defense Of our rights on the
memorable Fourteenth Of September, 1874, and
assistance given to the wounded, some of whom
are permanently disabled, and others made help
less for months to come.
At the last meeting it was decided to address
circular to the ladies throughout the State soic-
ting their o-operaton in increasing the amount
Of this fund.
The Association suggests the formation Of
Branch Associations in every parish in the State
with officers chosen by the ladies composing
these, for the purpose of collecting subscriptions
and donations, either in money, clothing, food
or such articles of production as may be made
available in furthering the objects Of the Associa-
ton. We venture to suggest that in addition to
personal efforts, this cause may be, through pub
lie entertainment and otherwise before the people,
that thus general interest may be awakened and
opportunity afforded to all to aid in this noble
work.
In making this appeal we feel confident of the
hearty cooperation Of the daughters Of Louisi-
ana, who have never failed to give their willing
response to the call of patriotism and benevo.

The card which appeared in your evening edi-
ton Of yesterday, signed by one S. A. Durand,
We do not deem worthy of notice, except so far
as it refers to our friends and the mercantile
community, generally. From the very day of the
fire, or his appearance here this individual has
acted moro as a tentt-cldss detectire with in
Vulnerable professions Of equity,) than an honest
adjuster, representing so respectable an Insu-
rance Company as the old "North British" and
what we regret is, that this Company should
have selected such an individual to represent
them as an adjuster in important matters.
So far as the use of our Juniors name goes in
his Infamous publication, we will state that he
has garbled the evidence given him and his sspal"
to suit his nefarious purposes.
All we have asked is justice. We feel assured
that the commercial community will sustain us in

exposed in my communication of the 14th inst,
supported throughout by documentary evidence,
Messrs Bayly & Pond have made no answer-nor
could they make any.
Their insinuation that have acted as detec-

me, nolens roens, by the nature of the business
in hand, as developed BY the evidence. (see

The charge that the evidence has been garbled

New ORLEANS, Oct. Is, 1874
To Governor John McEnery:
Dear Sir-Some time in July, 1873, had
occasion to call on Gov. Kellogg, at the st.
Louis Hotel, on professional business. After
transacting this business, Gov. Kellogg re-
quested me to remain in his Office. He then
entered intoan elaborate history of his case
Uucu pcuuIuS UelOIe OouS,IeSS ucCldIeu tutt
he had abundant proofs of frauds in the cleo
ton returns referred to the proposal which
he had made during the chancery proceedings
in the United States Court to have the returns
counted by arbitrators declared his willing
ness and desire to submit the question then to
such mode of trial, and to abide the result.
replied that thought that Gov. McEnery
would accept that proposal, but had no au-
thority in the matter. On leaving Gov. kel-
logg repaired to Gov. McEnery and told him
of the proposition, and he declared his prompt
acceptance of it and authorized me to say so
to Gov. Kellogg.
In subsequent efforts to communicate this
to Gov. McEnery and obtain Gov.
Kelloggs recognition of it, was SO discour-
aged as to abandon any further connection
with the affair.
Gov. McEnery then acting on the informa-
ton, presume, conveyed to him by me, sent
his secretary with tn letter already published
referring to the arbitration proposed.

THE WESTERN ELECTIONS.

The process Of decay that has been going
on in the body of the Republican party O
this country, is rapidly developing itself in 9
most significant manner. With every cleo.
ten, States that for years past have giver
Republican majorities by the thousands, are
reversing theirvote and prounouncing IN favor
Of the Democratic party. Since the re-elec-
ton Of President Grant, the detection has sci
in and it seems destined to continue until the
entire destruction Of the Republican party is
accomplished.
The election in Ohio in 1873, when Gov.
Allen was elected, gave him majority Of only
S17 votes; whilst in 1872 the majority of Gen.
Grant was 1851. In 1874, however, the
State gives the Democratic ticket 10000
majority, showing loss to the Republican
party in two years Of $4,000 votes.
In 1872 Indiana gave President Grant a ma
jority of %, SIS, and Gov. Hendricks ma
jority of only 1144 votes. In 1874 the majority
for the Democratic ticket is reported to be
from IL, 900 to $4,000.
Such radical changes in public sentiment
must indicate something. 1t means that the
Republican administration of the National
Government is not satisfactory to the people
that its corruption and imbecility are no
longer bearable that its tendency towards
centralization must be checked that the eff
forts of Grant to secure third term must be
thwarted that "the conduct of the Presi-
dent, in setting up by bayonet a government
in Louisiana not chosen by the people. having
no title to authority, is a fragrant violation OF
the Federal Constitution" and, as such, must
be rebuked in emphatic terms.
1t means, too, that the people are satisfied
that there is no rebellion in the South and the
war is over that there is no necessity for
quartering the army and navy on State in
times of profound peace. And finally, it
means that the country is determined to re-
turn to that pure and wise system of Republic
can government, that in the past gave the
Union its proud and powerful position in the
rank of nations.
The glorious result of the elections in these
two States should inspire our people with
hope and confidence. They foretell such
changes in other States as will eventuate in
giving the Democratic party majority in the
Lower House Of Congress. This secured and
the nation will enter upon brighter and
more prosperous future, and the blessings OF
good government will be secured to the whole
people, privilege not enjoyed since the ac-
cession of Gen. Grant to the Presidency OF
the United States.
