We publish with pleasure the following
letter from Hon. e. J. Ellis. of New Orleans,
in reference to the necessity for u Demo-
cratic State Convention: ."
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 2, 1875.
Ny Dear Sfr-Your note inviting me to
address your club reached me this instant.
c; regret Sis that can not comply; leave the
days But your note also asks me-in the
event that T can not be present and address
to write word Of counsel In regard to
the proposed State Convention. ~
Although time presses me, can not fore
go the inclination to tell you emphatically
that favor the call of a convention for No
vember.
Had ample timeL could not tell you
why SO we'll as Hon. st pt. H. MARI has
te shic rs in , hs copy Of
have seen no reason tos shse. ana M
the views that 1 then held:
The address of Mr. Mari commend to
your careful Perusal: I regard it as sim
ply unanswerable and conclusive.
The argument used against the policy OF
calling eonyention-that it will "inter-
cal excit ment''@is silly and senseiesRs. It
is mainly urged by the New Orleans Re-
publican and certain indiyidnals who never
additional reason for holding the conven-
! ton. Fns est doce7i nb hoste, Is a maxim as
good now a. when first uttered.
1 J
| gress, I shall demand the recognition of the
state government elected in 1872, and the
! overthrow of the usurpation of Kellogg. l
| will be met on the floor of tho Federal
Congress by the very projectors of the
! wheeler adjustment" and told that it
"settled'' the Louisiana case.
How can deny this unless can hold up
| to view the action of q State Convention,
repudiating that compact I'm SO far as it as
snmes to settle the question of 1927 I'm
derstand me that we do not seek to unsettle
the status Of the members of the lower
house of the Legislature rs fixed by that
adjustment. But we do desire to undo the
| impression that has gone abroad that the
question OF 1872 was settled by that COM
pact. and this only can we do effectively by
! and through State Convention.
Ifthe people of Louisiana fail in their
grand struggle for the right of self-govern-
ment, the blame will be theirs alone. II
representatives the moral aid of their voice
and pronounced will, they shall not fail. l
believe III the returning sense ofjustice OF
! the American people, and believe that
the '.ides of March" next will witness the
overthrow of the American Caesar who has
trampled onr liberties, and our final re-
demption from Radical rule.
With thanks for your kindness. L am very
truly yours, f. JOHN ELLIS.

large representation from this State and
with delegates from Arkansas. Mississippi
and Missouri. The latter state was repre-
scented by her two u. 8. Senators, Messrs
bogy and Cockrell, the former being
PRESIDENT Of the Convention. The result of
the deliberation was the appointment of a
committee from the several States represen-
teo' TO gather statistics, with the view Of OBJ
tanning Federal aid for the levees. This.

AN oriental traveller describes this busy
scene, witnessed on historic shores: "Our
steamer landed on a beach which was the
port of Antioch, where the disciples were
first called Christians. There was no town
at the waters edge, no people, no wharf.
The passengers and the merchandise were
put ashore in lighters, which ran up into
the sand. A troop of camels, with their
drivers, lay on the beach: ready to trans
port the goods into the interior. Am@ns

II IL not very pie asant trip from Monroe
to Shreveport, and the route lies through a
section of country overrnn, according to
Radical evidence, with lawless Young mon,
White Leaguers and desperadoes. But in
strong proof that life Is safe throughout
that section we mention the fact that Col
Jno. Ray and Judge w. J. @. Baker, two
leading Republicans who have pulled like
wheel horses to keep Louisiana under the
heel of Radical oppression, left Monroe last
week and passed through this territory of
the banditti, landed in Shreveport without
interference, and have returned, without
detrttnent, to the security of their firesides,
We find in the list of hotel arrivals the
names of these gentlemen announced ",
tho Shreveport Times of the lst, but orr
contemporary, usually on the alert for reada
bic items, fails to notice the presence of
these gentlemen in Shreveport, or to ino uire
what strange chance, or powerful motive
caused them to challenge the ire Of the
pine-hillians, and the no less terrible wrath
of the late White LeaSners of the parish OF
Caddo. The Bossier Banner seems to have
scented something In tho air, and wonders
what brought Col. Ray that way. We.
ourself have some curiosity on the point,
and can't help but associating the visit of
Messrs. Ray and Baker to Shreveport with
Flbk1hs aooress 10 Inc oiu wings, or with
the recent exchange of epistolnry "high

intolerance finds expression only with the
pistol, or bowie-knife, or that the " ram
bunctious" White Leaguers of Caddo,

holds by two for1orn Radical politicians,
without a powerful incentive. Did these
gentlemen have assurance of a safe transit :?

We are compelled to dissent from the
views of the New Orleans Delta in its eff
orts-unwitting, we suppose-to organize
the Democratic party on a partisan basis,or,
in other words, to make any period Of SER
vice In the Democratic party q test of an
individuals adtnissio n into that party. We
regard all conservatives who have uniform
ly fought Republicanism,a as Democrats, and
we should rejoice to see the foolish preju-
dices existing with some good men against
the name of Democracy put aside, just as
was done in 1868. The Democratic party
of to-day is not the old Democratic party
that met and overcome the Wings. The
best evidence OF this fact is that there are
more old Wings prominent in the Demo-
cratic party as it now exists than there are
Democrats.
The word Democracy means at the South
nothing more than a hearty support Of hon.
est, intelligent Home Government and a
Federal administration based upon the Fed
eral Constitution, construed strictly. 1t
means the unification OF all honest white
and colored men opposed to Radicalism,
upon the only existing solid foundation,
| to-wit: an earnest, cordial cooperation
with the National Democrats, who, alone
are able to restore to the South. and ia
Louisiana, particularly, the rights to which
they are entitled. The test we would apply
Is not, Have you been Democrat but
Are you Democrat. and will you permit
none but true and tried men to take the
load? And this was what the originators
Of the movement to re-organize the Democ-
racy Of Louisiana proposed should be q test

Merchants Denouncing Smuggling

NEW DIRK, May 20.
The board of trade have adopted resolu-
tions declaring that the prevalence of
smuggling has been due to the demoralized
customs service and to extortionate and ex-
orbitant tariffs, and that probably the most
effective mode of suppressing smuggling is
to establish revenue tariff and to reform
civil service. The resolutions protest
against degrading immortality of wholesale
dealing in struggled goods by merchants
of this city; declare that it is the duty of
every member Of the board to assist the
United States treasury and customs officers
by all lawful and possible means to detect
and punish persons guilty of frauds upon
the national revenue that memorial to
the treasury be prepared requesting the
United States government to prepare
bill aud cause the same to be submitted
for consideration to the next congress,
which shall contain provisions for the pun
ishment of receivers and purchasers of
smuggied goods, similar in effect to legal
provisions for the punishment of receivers
of stolen goods in this state, and that the
national board of trade and boards of trade
trade in the principal cities of the union be
requested to cooperate with this board In
effecling means tor the suppression OF
wholesale smuggling, and in obtaining a
revenue tariff act in the next congress.
