DEMOCRATIC
COUNTY CONVENTION.
Appointment Of Delegates

Pursuant 10 previous notice, a Con.
vention was held at the Court House
in Weston, on Monday. May LIST,
1876. for the purpose Of appointing
delegates to the State, Congressional
and Senatorial Conventions. The
gathering was not so large as could
have been desired ; but among the
number were many Of the most sterling
Democrats Of the couuty-thus making
up in quality what was lacking ID
quantity.
The mee!ing was called 10 order By
Mr.. ]. ". Woffindin. upon whose
motion DIR. Vim. Z. Lively was elected
Chairman and subsequently, Dir.
Wofindin was elected Secretary.
The object Of the meeting having
been explained. on motion Of Mr. J.
NJ. Bennett, It was
Rcsolrcl, That all Democrats re.
siding in Lewis county, who will abide
BY, and support the nominations Of the
State, Congressional and Senatorial
Conventions. arc hereby appointed
delegates to said Conventions, with
authority to represent the Democracy
Of this county.
Upon motiou Of Mr. Edgar Wilson
Smith. it was
Resolved, That the County Demo.
caatic Con rention, for tho purpose Of
nominating Candidates for the various
county Offices. be held on the LIST day
Of September, 1876. at the Court
House in Weston; and the County
Executive Committee are hereby in.
structed to call tho Convention at the
time and place above stated.
Some discussion arose as to the pro.
pisty Of the resolution quoted above ;
but owing to the fact that the time in.
dicated was the first day Of the Circuit
Court-and at limo when farmers
will be about through with their la.
bors-it was supposed that at that
time larger and better representation
Of the party could be had.
Afterwards, on motion of Mr.. Child.
ester. it was
Eeso;ro', That the following gen.
tlemen be. and are hereby appointed as
the County Democratic Committee, to
serve as such until their SUCCESSORS are
appointed: Chairman. W. L. Lively ;

There being no further business.
Mr.. y. L. Bill. a candidate for the
nomination for Auditor Of State, was
introduced to the Convention by Col.
oncl WoOdford. Mr.. Bill did not at
tempt to make speech, but simply
EtatcL that he was a candidate. and
hoped to secure tho support Of the Do.
mocracy. His remarks were we'll TO.
ccived; aud at their conclusion were
loudly applauded.

THE NEW SECRETARY OF WAR.

1t seems to be conceded by common
consent of the political papers Of both
parties at the North, that there is a Pc
culiar significance in the appointment of
Don Cameron to the portfolio Of War.
With Belknap absorbed in his post sutler
speculations, and Mr.. Pierrepont intent
upon arguing abstract principles with
Governor Ames when instant action was
demanded, the Mississippi blunder be-
came an easy matter. Instead of asking
Governor Ames to wait and see if the
Democrats would actually take his life
before calling for assistance, regiment
of men should have been dispatched to
jackson without delay. The boys in blue
would have harmed no innocent person,
nor prevented him from voting. Even
the Democrats have never accused the
army of standing between them and the
polls. They only complain when they
see q bayonet between them and some
Republican voter whom they wish to
scare of.
Don Cameron is reported to be an ener-
eetic friend of law and order and peace
at elections. He is even suspected of q
determination to have peace and order if
he has to fight for them. With Pierrepont
out of the Cabinet, and such scrupu-

ANOTHER SENSATION DISSOLVED.

The sensational charges which were
preferred against Louis Paul Bernard.
John Cook, James Casey, John Finnerty
and Barney Doyle by the newspaper re-
porters and young woman named Emma
Schingel were ventilated yesterday in the
Criminal Court, and shown to be SO much
moonshine. After Emma, the prosecut-
ing witness, had rambled through her
story, the States attorney abandoned the
case, being satisfied there was no founda-
ton on which to rest charge. Yet these
young men have been accused of highway
robbery and rape, and their names pub
lished to the world as criminals. One OF
our local police gazettes was especially
severe in its structures, and served up the
young girls story as particularly choice
Sunday morning breakfast dish for the
families which it undertakes to supply with
literary pabulum. The people of the world
who read these wild reports of New Or
leans society are more apt to remember
the vivid charge than the modest notice
that the charges were dismissed, and it is
not strange, therefore, that they form IN
favorable opinions of us.
It is hum;liating fact that the local
columns of the city press are freely opened
to every idle telltale with sufficient in
ventive genius to concoct a wonderful
story, and where the offerings in this line
are dull, the reporters draw on their own
imagination. The case against the five
young men which was dismissed on Tues
day is but one of many like it which has
come under our observation lately. At
first there comes q flaming charge. The
public is shocked with the reportorial ex-
plosion. Sometimes hint is thrown in
by way of seasoning, that a vigilance
committee would be about the right thing.
The next day some new dish is served up,
and in two or three weeks after the
States attorney throws the case out Of

RIARD'S APPOINTMENT.

The Picayune yesterday morning gave
currency to an alleged rumor that dis
patch was received from Washington, at
five o'clock on Tuesday evening, stating
that Riard's appointment as naval officer
of the port of New Orleans had been re-
jected. If any such dispatch was actually
received, which we doubt, it is entirely
worthless, and not entitled to mention as
rumor. The Senate was not in session
on Tuesday, nor yesterday, and, conse-
quently, no action Of any kind has been
had since Monday. As the regular dis
patches are entirely silent about Riard, it
is more than likely his case has not been
reached. If he had been rejected on
Monday we should have heard of it,
either through the Associated Press, or at
all events, by some of the Democratic
clerks of committees, who fill out their
time by writing disagreeable dispatches
to the New Orleans dailies. '.Bijou,"
especially, would not let such an oppor-
tunity to tell unpleasant news pass unim-
proved. He would have seized it as such
an evidence of antagonism between the
President and tie Senate, as would be
sure to precipita'e tidal wave Of Demo-
cratic success ac oss the country in No.
vember. Had tie Senate rejected Riard,
the nimble ind.x clerk of the House
would have incc ntinently descended from
his perch, where he annoys the witnesses
before the investigating committees, and
vexed the telegraph wires with this, to
him, most congenial intelligence.
Whether Riard is to be finally left out,
Of course, we neither know nor care.
There will be 10 lack Of candidates for
the place, in case he shall come to grief;
but that any authentic dispatch of his re-
lection came from Washington on Tues
day is next to impossible. The idea orr
ginated, perhaps, with some one who
wished to ventila.e his wisdom in another
matter; and his success has been in exact
ratio to the number of people who be-
lieyed the rumOr.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1876-06-01

lous jurist in the Attorney Generals Office
as Judge TAFT, the President will have no
difficulty in bringing the twelve years
war in which he has been distinguished
leader to brilliant and succe ssful close.
He can hand over the admin stration to
his successor backed by party elated
with success, in the presence of an enemy
disheartened by defeat in every contest
since 1856. The backbone of the most
formidable and persistent enemy Of the
American Union that ever reared its ban
ner will thus be effectually broken, and
there will be ample time to attend to the
material interests which are 80 shamefully
neglected by the present House.
The simple fact that such man as the
new Secretary. is at the head of the War
Department will be sufficient to insure
quiet in many localities, and he is very
capable of teaching a useful lesson those
unable to take hint. We do not expect
there will be many such. Nearly every
part Of this country has been made con-
scious Of the length of that 'sword whose
hilt is in Washington" and there is no
doubt that good behavior has grown out
of such knowledge. And in an important
election like that which will take place in
Louisiana next November, where eight
presidential electors, six members Of the
House and two Senators are involved, it
would be strange oversight that allowed
any reasonable precaution to be neglected.
There will be no neglect. Neither the
President nor the Secretary of War is
wanting in political experience. sagacity
or zeal. Nothing will be left to chance,
and there will be no repetition of the Mis-
sissippi blunder.
