canvass throughout the district, and debate
the issues of the campaign before the peo-
pie, at such points as may seem most con.

would. think, be Q convenience to ell
classes of the community, whose time il

Of the congressional candidates would thus
suffice, where two might otherwise be nee

The following letter was written by q
gentleman in North Louisiana. His name
is withheld for the usual reason-prudence.
But there can be no doubt of the entire
accuracy of all his statements:
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
When wrote you few weeks ago that
one part Of the Democratic Confederate
plan of the present campaign is to kill prom
inent Republicans under such circum-
stances as to enable them to say the cause
was not political. l did not know that it
would be illustrated 90 soon and so near as
it has been by the shooting of DR.. Dink-
grave in Monroe. B. H. Dinkgrave was one
Of the most active Republicans in his parish.
No man worked harder for the party than
he-visiting the various clubs, organizing
and making speeches-this was the real
cause OF his death. Others are marked for
the same fate.
In February last tho chiefs of the White
League Issued orders to their murderOus
followers throughout the country, to i'm
prove every opportunity for involving
Radicals in personal difficulties and putting
them out of the way, but to be careful not
to have politics the apparent cause. The
wolf-like nature Of those assassins is such
that they must generally 60 in gangs-very
few of them can kill q man who has never
injured or offended them, unless sustained
by crowd of associates excited by whisky,
and partisan speeches from their leaders.
The leaders are now exciting the people OF
the hill parishes by the most wicked false
hoods. On Sunday, September 3, Q report
was spread west Of the Ouachita river that
the negroes of MOrehouse we're in arme
marching upon Monroe, that 400 armed
blacks were in line of battle near that town
and great hordes pouring down from
BastrOp to join them. Of course, the ex
element in the country was intense. Con
gregations assembling for worship dispersed
and in some cases people began to collec1
under arms to 60 and help defend Monroe
But the whole story was false; not &
single armed negro came from Morehouse
and there was not the slightest foundation
for the pretended instruction.

He closed with an earnest appeal to young
men, who. like himself, wsuld cast their
maiden votes in November, to ct and by the
principles of their fathers, and by their
votes and their earnest and united efforts,
prove to the country that they cherish and
hold dear the sacred right of American
citizenship.

President Tracy's Ofense-Poiitfcal Cour'
tesy a Cause of Complaint.
New ORLEANS, September Z, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
The serenade rendered your office some
nights since by the Wilt Zsuaves. of the
eleventh ward seems to have given ottense
to some of the BourbOns.
As Mr.. Tracy, the president, had been an
employe Of your Office, it is but natural
that he should pay you the usual cour tesy
OF q serenade while on parade with his
club; but this, the Bourbons at once con-
strued into an act of rank treason.
A a meeting few nights ago, Mr.. TT acy
was brought to task for his unpardona BILE
breach of discipline, and escaped impeach-
ment only by the decided stand he took on
the matter.
The "sore heads" as Mr.. Tracy charac-
terizes the movers of the affair, wanted to
know whether the Zouaves were Demo.
cratic or Republican club, and who had
dared to serenade Republican paper Office.
Mr.. Tracy promptly assumed all the re-
sponsibility, and told them he would do the
same thing again. A vote being taken he
was sustained in the matter by the club.
This is what l call conservatism, and
think Mr.. Tracy's example may he followed
with advantage, as an exchange of these
small courtesies would tend greatly toward
removing much of the bitterness engendered
during the campaign.
Respectfully, etc,
Eleventh Ward.
