CARD BY MEMBERS OF THE RICHMOND

We, The undersigned, members OF the Corn Tx
change, witnessed the operations Of the Randell
Grain Separator and Grader on different samples
of - bad mixtures os could well be provided; one
being general mixture of about equal parts of
wheat. oats and corn from the drawers Of the
Corn Exchange. This sample was separated with
rs much ease, rapidly and perfection, as the farm
ing mills ofthe day separate chat. Another, Sc
ected on account of its peculiarly foul condition,
being sprouted, cheaty and at least twenty per
cent cookie. This sample was handled at one
running 20 our perfect satisfaction, giving tTo
grades at the same running one fair grade iof
market, and the other a handsome grade, consist
ing Of only the sound and heavy kernels, for seed
The machine is not mere tanning mill, nor
mere separator for fitting grain for seed, but both
combining the rapidly OF the flaming mill with
the perfection of a separator, which gives IL ad-
vantaqes decidedly important over any cleaner
we have ever before seen.
Believing the general use OF this machine viii
materially enhance the interest Of the farmers by
improving the price Of their grain, and largely
Increase the yield per acre, by the higher aud pu-
rer grade OF seed it enables them TO get %e cheer

LETTER FROM SHREVEPORT.
SHREYRPORT. MaYS

cHREVEPOHT, May "a, 1870.
Editor Demccrat--As an act OF iustioe
to the friends OF republican government,
and as one of thesentinels on the watch
towers OF liberty, no less than as lover
Of good government. address you this
brief note Of the sayings and doings of
the Radical Congressional Convention
of contrabands and colored convicte
congregated in the City Hall Of this
city on yesterday. / design to tell you
what they did and how they did it. It
was kind OF Centennial conclave, or,
in other words, composed OF about one
hundred colored delegates. some white
colored some black colOred, regardless
OF color or previous condition. The
conclave was composed of black heart
ed white men and white livered black
men. When, on motion OF some white
man, one B. c. White was called to
the chair, but having no chair he
took the stand, and with huge club
attempted to call the conclave of con-
victs to order, when, on motion, q COM
mittee on credentials was chosen and ia
less than no time reported delegates
from about nine parishes, when in fact
was then made to appoint twenty door
keepers. This was voted down, as the
hall had but one door and the Demo
Gratis had got on the inside OF it. a@8
For richness Of oratofy, combined
with richness of smell. 1t certainly was
a grand success. 1t was q mixed con-
clave, composed OF white and black
Radicals, white and black Democrats,
and white and black dogs, all voting ON
both sides of every question. To attempt
to describe with pen or pencil what fol-
lowed is out OF my power. Imagine
City Hall filled with Radicals, Demo-
Gratis and dogs, two negro fights going
on in the room, one huge hickory club
over the heads OF the cOnClav0,
three buck negroes and one white man
demanding hearing at the same time;
amid the waving OF clubs mot flags),
the yelling ofnegroes, the cnrsing OF de-
feated candidates, the laughter OF
Democrats and the bowling of dogs,
and you have faint conception OF the
dignity OF the scene.
Just at this momentous crisis one Of
the Smith family was seen making his
way slowly to the stand he whispered
to the President, and in
and for a moment all was still,
rs the President, with elevated club,
moved that George l.. Smith be nOmi-
mated for Congress by acelamati0n.
Just at this moment one, Captain
Frank Smith advanced to your
and remarked in low
one, Will his IOHS-SteinHIeu pipe III Hl6
mouth, Colonel, let's make this id
hing unanimous" I responded, 20.
K. )" and Smith, myself and his dog, all
voted first for the nomination, and then
against the nomination. his made it
unanimous. Then amid the tumult Of
he cursing of Office seekers, the merri-
nent of Democrats, the bowling Of
logs, and the waving of clubs, it was
announced that George i.
smith was our candidate for Congress.
In conclusion, you can depend on old
Jaddo doing her duty ON the day OF
election The calm OF the present is
,nly indicative of the approaching
torn. G. II. b.

CATAHoULA PARISH, June 10, 1876.
Editor Den,ocr0t-I would suggest to
your truly valuable and popular paper
the names OF Judge o. Mayo, Vidaiia,
La, and Capt. c. G. Duke, Catahoula
parish, La, for Governor and Lieuten-.
antGovernor. They are capable, honest,
honorable gentlemen, and very popular
Democrats, and will run well-consid-
erably ahead Of the ticket in their pa
rishes, and men that cannot be cor
rupted, and will make faithful, efficient
officers. Yours truly, DEMOCRAT.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-06-18
A Good Ticket.
IN. Y. SUM-

Probably, all things considered, the
st. Louis Convention could not do better
than to nominate such O ticket as the
following:
For President Samuel j. Tilden, Of
New York.
For Vice President-Thomas A. Hen
bricks, OF Indiana.
Two candidates like these would 70
very well together; and it would be DIFF
ficult to devise any Republican ticket
that would not disapps before them
like a morning mist before the sun Of
summer 81
