FRIDAY EVENING. November II. 1875
During the early part of the past week
there was no decrease in the offerings at
the banks. but within the past two days we
have noticed slight falling off, as will ap-
pear from the statement OF daily Clearings :;
the movement is in excess OF last week.
On tho street there is more moderate in.
quiry for money, which eligible borrowers
md little difficulty in obtaining at the
ratea quoted below. The supply of cash
gold continues inadequate to the demand,
and the price is still maintained consider
ably above the selling rates at New York.
With the active movement IN cotton,
foreign exchange continues in good supply
and under liberal offerings New York sight
has Tor the most part ruled at IA sufficient
discount to admit ordering out currency
by express from New York.
TRANSACTIONS in ticks and securities have
been generally light, funds which would
otherwise be available for investment being
absorbed by the commercial demand. City
bonds generally have suffered further
decline, while cew State conenis, which
had remained qniet during the week. were
active to-day. and quoted AZ d slight ad-
vance.

The Democratic Party.

The error made last Fall in dis.
banding the Democratic party of this
State, to which we objected at the
time, is now very apparent There is
now no Democratic State Central
Committee in Louisiana-no organ
with which the National Democratic
Committee can correspond There is
Peoples party committee, it is true
but the National Democracy, lately
so victorious, will hardly recognize
any organization unless liz full accord
with the Democratic party.
We suggest, in view of the pre-
parations necessary for the contest for
President, already begun, that the
Democrats of this State re-organizc
the party at once, by State conven-
ton which shall meet to select a
Democratic State Central Committee
and prepare for the campaign of 1875.
This matter is of vital Importance
Ouachita Telegraph.
We agree with our neighbor, so far
as the complete organization of the
party is concerned, and think the
work should commence at an early
day. We are no stickler for names,
but as the Democratic party has moth.
ing to be ashamed Of, it having gener-
ally made clear record for honesty
and capability, and as its name has
the magical influence of rallving more
adherents than any other that has yet
been suggested, We see 10 reason why
We should not adopt both its name
and principles in the next campaign
and make one more vi yorous effort to
redeem our entire country from the
misrule of bigots, fanatics and DEM
agogues. Let the patriots of Louisi-
ana fall into line with those of her
sister States and make another effort
to regain the control of our national
government in 1876.

A Mystery.
DELTA, La, April 5, 1875.


Editor Of The Madison Journal:
The remains of man are lying at
tie edge Of the woods near our town,
that never were inferred, and no one
appears to know how it came there.
Some eighteen months ago, l have
been informed, color, d man named
Harper Good discovered it. The
body was in box, lying across two
logs. 1t is said to be the corpse of a
white man; no one seems to know
how it came there, and the matter has
never been reported to the proper au-
thorities. A short time since the box
in which it lay fell apart, and the
bones are now scattered around over
the ground.
Perhaps, If you would give pub
licity to the foregoing it would lead
to an investigation by the proper
authorities, aud the facts be develop
ed. Yours, j. NJ.
We find the above in the Madison
Journal of the 9Th, and must say
that the circumstance it relates rath-
err caps anything we have heard of
occurring in q civilized community in
q long time.
