THE LADIES TO THE FRONT
New ORLEANS, August 2. 1877

NEW ORLEANS, August Z, 1874.
NJ. Elitor.--Last night an elegant and &C
compl shed lady suggested the propriety OF
the organization of a White League by the
ladies of our city, and think the suggestion
a good one,
The women of Louisiana, even more than
ourselves. are interested in the political tri-
umph and social supremacy of the white race
Every encroachment OF barbarism upon civil
ization effects them the more readily as their
moral and intellectual organizations are M re
delicate and refined than ours.
While women lack the physical courage Of
men, history and experience demonstrate that
they surpass them in tortitude and equal them
in persistence. In an eminent degree they
exhibit those elements of the grandest moral
heroism patient endurance and hopeful wait
ing. Upon them must fall most heavily the
inconvenien"es any annoyances resulting
from the temporary arrangement OF the do
me ste labor system
In this hour Of her trial and occasion of her
last struggle for social and political redemp-
ton, Louisiana leeds every assistance she can
gather from every source and ! think some
such action on the part of the ladies as that
suggested above, would add fresh enthusiasm
to the zeal of the men. We do not mean that
they should hold mass meetings and make
speeches, but suggest that they quietly resolve
to put up with some inconvenience and sub
NIT to good deal Of annoyance, that they
may regulate their houe ehol,ls in the interest
OF the only race which has accorded to woman
the commanding social elevation which is
Justly hers, and show that all sexes and ages
and classes and forces of the whites OF Lou-
siana are united in the great conf CT which
now presses upon us. JUDIcAroR.

A LIVELY TURTLE.
NEW ORIEANs Auo1st 1:

New ORLEANS, August II, 1874.
Dear Bulletin. Everybody knows that the
morning accommodation train on the Mobile
road is the place to hear big fish stol les, but
only a few were present Yesterday morning
when a gentleman from Ocean Springs amazed
MS all. He told Us how he caught two turtles
on Horn Island one weighing 1874 pounds
and the other $40 pounds, but the 240 pound
turtle and its grip on life was the subject OF
his narrative. lie took it home and oloried in
the treat he WIS going to give his neighbors,
out how to slaughter it was the question.
After great deal Of coaxing it was induced
to hold its head out long enough to have it's
throat cnt from ear to ear, but it had no idea
Of shutting off on SO slight provccation
Next the ax was brought into play, and its
head split open. This quoted its nerves long
enough to have its shell taken off and be
qnaftered, but those quarters sho we'd renewed
vigor, and no sign, of being tired of life, SO
the boy had to be instructed to lead the three
quarters to as many neighbors, and the fourth
WAS hung on the side OF tree for family use
the next day, but 10, when all mouths were
watering for soup his turtleship could not be
found and it WIS only after long search that
tn t the quarter was found hid in the forks OF
the highest branches Such is life and such
was that turtles. Ocean Springs can go head

BAH

They do say that when one Of the mem
bers of the committee that waited on Kellogg
yesterday intimated that he might be made to
do what was "tair, the de fdctO turned pale
about the gills, no doubt remembering the
day when he shot at q man, or something OF
that kind happened, at the corner Of Natchez
and Magazine streets.
1t must have been rare sight to have wit
messed the buster OF the de .facto so soon as
he recovered his breath to have seen him va
lorously declare he could not be driven out Of
Louisiana, no. not he J etc.
Bah, there is a little telegraphic instrument
in town. connected with wire that connects
with Washington, that could drive him out
with a score or SO Of ticks. Let him not be
too sure OF his prolonged stay in Louisiana,
for Grant is going for Moses, and may yet be
induced to 90 for Kellogg.

A Little Plain Talk,

Elhor BuHetin-Ihat the Democrats Of this
city no estly and sincerely desire to pat for
ward their best men as candidates in the com
ing election is Il well-known fact men OF
known worth and tried integrily-men who
come fully up to the Jetfersonian standard
The party can boast Of many such men, bur
they are not office seekers. The party, to
avail itself OF tceir services, must make the
| offices seek the men
In view Of this desire OF majority of the
| Democratic party. and considering the impor-
lance Of the Issue involved in the coming CON
test, ii is matt OF regret that men claim
ing To be Democrats are attempting to fois
themselves on the Democracy as candidates
fol important Offices. Not content with this
some Of tLtln are pursuing course W, IL cal
culated TO tor cstall the action OF t. party
This course is reprehensible and should be
frowned down by every good and true L mo-
crat.
Ii will be we'll to let aspirants for Office
know u advance that nominations, procured
by unfair means, will not insure an election
Ii there be any who consider hat they have
claims upon the people, they or their friends
can place such claims before the party and
before the nominating convention by h
announcement Of their names through the
columns Of the BULLETIN. Any other course
IS reprehensible, and will not gain either the
respect or confidence Of honest, intelligent
voters.
Reducing the Democrats to the necessity OF
voting for an Objectionable candidate in ordt r
to defeat Radical, won't win. Experience
has shown hat the party can be injured more
by the election of an unworthy candidate,
than by efeat. Ii the party elects an unfit,
incapable man to oflioe, it is responsible tor
his acts. But the Democratic party is not re
sponsible for the acts of officials elected by
the opposition. These are facts which should
comm End themselves to the common sense OF
even the vainest aspirant 1or official honors.
And by giving them heed, some may save
them some trouble and considerable expense.

The First Ba e Of OttOn.

The Sisters OF the Good Shepherd received
yesterday morning the very handsome dona-
tion Of the first bale of cotton of the seaso
from MIR. John Cuggy, for which they can
never be sufficiently grateful to him.
They wish to rattle it on Saturday morning
the 18th inst, as it may be an inducement for
the winners to kno that Mr.. Alfred Moulton
has offered to send it to New York, free OF
;harge, on the steamer of that day.
The Sisters have at present. $50 persons
under their charge to clothe and feed, and
whilst their inmates are constantly increasing,
the number OF their benefactors dimin;shes S,
owing to the daily inc easing pressure Of the
times. They have been obliged lately much
to their regret, to refuse some applicants.
The Sisters appeal to the well-known gen.
crosby OF the citizens of New Orleans, to as
sist them in this rattle, and thew trust that
this appeal will not be made in vain.
The tickets are at 50 80 CHARITY.

THE THIRD WARD
To the Editor of the BuuetIn

To the Editor of the BuDetln
The Third Ward is the largest and most
llcklv settled ward of this city. Extending
from Julia to Canal street, and from the river
to the Metarie Ridge, II contains several
/ thousand lawful voters. It is well known
! that from the river back to Baronne street,
the front portion of the 'rd is almost entire
| ly composed of stores and warehouses, with
! tAe exception OF the sous.i portion of that
| section b, tween B.ronne ond Tchouptoulas
and from julia to Girod and yet, with the
vast population lying back OF Baronne SIR ct,
the Third Ward has but two places {. f regis
| tration tor voters at the primary election for
delegates, to occur on the ooh inst; and
where are those places Of registration? One
! on Tchoupitoulas, near Lafayette street the
other on Common street. near Dryades.
The Twelfth and Thirteenth Wards, each
! with about one-seyenth part the population
Of the Third Ward, have CHI named some
five or six different places in the ward where
registration books are kept constantly open for
Conservative voters to register, upto the 18th
inst. and these place named are convenient
to every resident in the ward.
The Third Ward has two places only and
these far removed from the residences of the
large majority of residents Of the ward
Whether intentional or not, this is a great out
cage upon the voters OF the ward nd a prac-
teal setting at nougLt of the invitations to
voters by the State Central Committee, the
Committee of Seventy and the Parish Demo-
cratic Committee, and should be rernedied at
once.
The Parish Committee should order at once
at least one dozen different places named con-
venient to the various portions of the ward
Place books at those places, III charge of com
petent persons (also to be named by the com
fpIttapA and fnr tho CT If la utul
voters, opposed to the Kellogg regime, until
the day before the primary election for dele
gates. Otherwise registration in the Third
Ward will be a farce, il not fraud. Z. r. S.

GLOOMY PROSPECT FOR SMOKERS AND CHEW
ERs-During the last week the heaviest sales
OF Leaf tobacco ever known in the history of
the trade in Cincinnati were made. Over 1000
packages were sold, the prices ruling extreme
ly high. Leaf tobacco is moving very rapidly,
and the price rules very high. The price of
all or .des of Leaf has doubled since last April.
News from thu great tobacco region Of the
Ohio and Mlssi ssippi Valleys is to the effect
that the crop is almost an entire failure, none
at all having been planted in some cases, and
in others only a few acres, where hundreds of
acres have been wont to be planted. The
drought early in the son in great measure
prevented the setting of plants, and later the
growth of the few that were set.-Cincinnati

New PROBABILITIES When you see man
going home at o'clock in the morning, and
know his wife is waiting for him, it is likely
to be st rmy.
Nuen Il man receives bill for goods his
wife has bought unknown to him, look out
for thunder and lightning.
When man goes home and finds no sup
per ready, the fire out, and his wife visiting
the saloons with the rest of the boys" it is
likely to be cloudy.
When man promises to take his wife to
party, and chan es his mind after she is
dressed, you may expect shower.
When man saves his cigar money to buy
his wife new bonnet and the children new
shoes, it indicates spell of sunshine
When man dies and leaves a nice young
widow with plenty Of money, and you see her
walking out with the executor on Sunday
afternoon, a change is imminent.

The success which has attended Phiadel-
plia in its experiment Of direct steam traf-
fc with Europe has stimulated B fillmore to
renewed exertions in that direction For
several years the Baltimore and Bremen line
OF steamers has enjoyed lucrative trade. the
only matter Of regret there is about it being
that the vessels sail under foreign flag. We
understand now that Baltimore contemplates
an American line. and that it will be backed
BY that wealthy and influential corporation,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Brest, in
France, is the European terminus chosen.

no credit whatever on that account, for sup
