THAT COMMITTEE.
AN ADDRESS IN PREPARATION.

That special committee of fifteen appointed
at Pinchback's meeting are hard at work on
"an address" intended for Congress- in par
ticular, and the people of the United States
in general.
This "address will contain an appeal to
the United States Senate to seat Pinchback
The address is generally looked upon as the
last efforts of the friends of Pinchback to re-
vive the politically dead man.
These friends of Pinckback, few in number
though they be, are fighting hard for him.
At the meeting at the Baptist Church the
other day, at which the committee of fifteen
was appointed. they succeeded in getting
voted down resolution offered by Allain call
ing on Pinchback to tender his resignation to
the Governor in the event of his not being
seated by December 81, 1875

prediction that his "power would dwindle
after the 4th of March" He doubtless, in

The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-11-26

The time is rapidly approaching when our
citizens will be called upon to make their Sc
lection of delegates to the January Conven-
ton, and we desire to urge upon them the
propriety of taking serious interest in the
matter. Choose representatives with care,
and see to it that they possess the needful re-
quirements of honesty and capacity, and
much good will be done; but if the better
class of cur citizens abstain from taking any
part in the election of delegates, and allow
ignorant or prejudiced men to be selected,
almost incalculable will be the harm done
Capable and honest men do not always thrust
themselves forward, but need to be looked
for and persuaded. There are many men who
are willing to work for the people and the
party without remuneration for their services,
and who are exceedingly anxious to obtain
position, while they are known to be inanci-
ally very badly off; these men may always be
found about ward meetings and primary cleo
tons, and have even been known to offer
many inducements to poor voters for their
suffrage. These men are not wanted at the
convention, even though they will so kindly
volunteer. The honest and capable citizen
hesitates before he will incur the expense and
of being delegate, and needs
to be sought after and prevailed upon, but
when chosen he can be trusted, and that is
worth while hunting him out for.

Hon. A. Ii. STEPHENS. - Senator John B,
Gordon received a long letter from the Hon.
A. II. Stephens, on the day before yesterday.
in which that gentleman stated that he was
SO very unwell that he had little hopes of get
ting to Washington next March. Mr.. Sc
phens then requested Gen. Gordon to repair
to his residence in Crawfordville, at once, as
he desired to consult him upon soms matters
of importance. In response to this urgent
call, Gen. Gordon left yesterday for Crawford
VILE, where he is at present writing. We
sincerely trust that Mr.. Stephens will soon be
able to resume his seat in Congress- His
friends were somewhat disturbed on yesterday
as to his condition. atlanta Herald

CUR RUSTIC BEAUTIES.

We are gratifed to observe that most Of
the audiences at the various theaters are
composed chiefly of persons from the coun.
try. This is gratifying, because the arrivals
from the country have no. been as numerous
as usual up to date, and both hotels, theaters,
and stores of all kinds felt the difference
One solution OF the slowness with which the
people from the parishes and the adjacent
States have come to the city, is the fact that
the crop being an unusually large one, gath
erlng and shipping the same has detained our
country cousins at home. If this be correct
and it is plausible, to say the least-then We
may expect from this time out to see our
thoroughfares pleasantly crowded with our
planters and their families, all of them more
cheerful and contented than for many years
past by reason Of tie bountiful crops, and
pocketbooks more plethoric in consequence.
Paradoxical as it may appear, heavy purse
makes light heart, and we fanced last night,
as we looked in the rosy and bright faces of
the numerous country lassies in the dress cir
Gle OF one Of our theaters tina we were Yankee
enough to guess about how many bales to the
acre father" had made and about how
much per pound the cotton had brought in
our market. We are glad for more reasons
than one to see these country girls. Glad
because their presence among US is an indioa-
ton Of prosperity, and glad because they give
us the assurance of sparkling eyes, rudy
cheeks and robust health, that there is no
deterioration of the sex in the country
There are no fairer or more pleasant things to
look upon than the sweet, innocent and arch
faces OF those rustic beauties who visit New
Orleans in the winter. There is so little art
and SO much real human nature about these
genuine girls-they laugh when they are
pleased, and when moved to pity, their
lustrous eyes fill with tears that well up from
hearts that have not felt the bitterness of life.
that know nothing of the guile and wicked
ness of the city.
Though somewhat abas ed at first by the |
presence of the gay and fashionable city /
girls, with their pretty new tangled bonnets
and desperately ugly pin-back dresses, they
soon regain their spirits and enjoy the sights
with delight which springs from genuine
appreciation of the beautiful. So We say
'gain, we are glad to see these fair daughters
If the parishes among us; they bring with
hem, as it were, fresh breezes from the coun-
ry; their ringing and musical laughter re-
minds US of the birds that make vocal the
meadows and the forests, and their graceful
orms recall the women that We used to know
before fashion interfered to mar and warp
hem.
