THE OVERFLOW CONVENTION.
An Interstate Convention Called.

The Central Executive Committee of the
section of Louisiana subject to overflow has
issued call for an Interstate Convention to
be held in Vicksburg Mississippi, on the I'd
of October, 1875
The convention will have for its object the
very important one of devising some means
for protecting this and the other States from
overflow, and urging on Congress the import
ance of the matter and the necessity of that
body taking it into consideration, and making
the locating and building of the levees a
national work.
With the experience of the past, and realiz-
ing the probabilities of the future, every State
and community interested and doing business
in the Mississippi Valley will no doubt send
representatives.
The building of the levees should be the
work of the National Government No State
is of itself able to build and keep in repair the
levees, and when crevasses such as we have
had occur, flooding the plantations and
destroying the crops, the whole country feels
it.
United action in bringing the matter to the
attention of Congress will compel considera-
ton.
The call of the committee ia as follows
OFFICE CEN. Exr,. CON- OF THE SECTION OF
LOUISIANA SUBJECT TO OVERFLOW,
No. rs CARoNDELET STREET,
New Orleans, La, Aug. 81, 1875
In accordance with q resolution of the Con-
vention of April. 1875, composed of delegates
from the overfowed sections of louisiana,
held in the city of New Orleans, for the pur-
pose of devising some means of protecting q
large portion of this State from destruction
by the crevasses in the levees of the Missis-
sippi River, and for the further purpose of
uniting our efforts with those of other States
subject to the same disasters, as we'll as to
obtain the joint efforts of those States and
com munities interested and doing business
in the Valley of the Mississippi, and desiring
its immediate material prosperity, and with
the view of urging the Congress of the United
States to take the matter into consideration,
and to make the locating building and re-
pairing the levees national work independ.
ent of all State concern. an Interstate con-
vention will be held at .Vicksburg, Miss, on
the I'd October, 1875.
The committees of each parish in the State
vi buUJ0Ct " OfofaOW Will dppOluI
five delegates to the convention, and forward
their names and post-office addresses to this
office, as early as practicable.
The States of Arkar sas aud Mississippi will
be entitled to the same representation as the
State of Louisiana.
1t is earnestly hoped that the people or au-
thorities of other States and communities will
take such steps as may seem best to them to
insure fair and full representation Of their
interests in the convention.
The magnitude Of the interests involved,
intimately and directly connected with all
branches of business dependent upon the
commerce and trade of the Mississippi Valley,
will be sufi ,ient to warrant the committee in
the hope that the convention
will be representative body of each and all
the interests at stake.

THE ERIE CONVENTION - TIE PLATFORM
ADOPTED.

ERIE, Pa, Sept. "a platform was agreed
upon in committee at q late hour last night,
but was adopted by a maj GRITTY of one only.
The currency plank is so distasteful to the
minority that they threaten to bring in a
separate report and have the difference settled
in open convention. Fears of such action
have prevented the presentment of the
majority report to the convention, and ad-
journment was had to afford an opportunity
for a harmonious compromise. The dele
gates generally express the opinion that the
discussion of the financial resolution in open
convention would be exceedingly unwise and
every effort will be made to have the minority
report suppressed.
The Platform Committee stand 25 to "a on
the currency resolutions which are as follows:
That the contraction of the money currency
and circulating medium heretofore made by
the Republican party, and the further con-
traction proposed by it, with a view to forced
resumption OF specie payment has already
brought disaster to the business of the
country, and threatens general bankruptcy,
and whilst we express enunclate the prin-
ciple that sound currency should be gold and
silver, and redeemable therein, We are op-
posed to either a contraction or Initiation of
the present currency, and would leave the
restoration of legal tenders to par in gold to
be brought about py promoting the industries
of the people, and not by destroying them.
That the policy already initiated by the Re-
publican party of abolishing legal tenders and
giving national banks power to furnish ali the
currency will increase the power of An already
dangerous monopoly, and that enormous bur
dens are now expressing the people without
compromising advantage, and that all the
national bank circulation be promptly and
perm anently retired and full legal tenderlbe
issued ia their place; that the public interest
demand that the government should cease to
discredit its own money, and should make its
legal tender receivable for all dues, except
where the respect for an obligation of con-
tract requires the payment in coin.
The extinction of the present national
banks and the establishment in their stead of
a system of free banks of discount and de-
post, under :suchsregulations as the States
respectively may prescribe, and no paper
money, except such as may be issued directly
by and upon the faith OF the Federal Gov
eminent, affording practically. currency
based on gold and silver. and other property
OF the whole people Of the whole country.
