STATE HOUSE.

The Committee OF Conference on the
Election bill was in session this morn
ing, but the result of their deliberations
was not made known to outsiders. The
general impression is that that Commit
tee has but one thing to do, namely, to
determine whether the Returning Board
is to be abolished or not. This does not
call for much discussion, and any delay
on the part Of the Republican Senators
in stating their intentions in reference
to this matter will be regarded as evil
dence of their determination to provoke
conflict.
will continue the consideration OF the
Assessment bill.

The Bee thinks that in view of the very
small probability Of the two houses OF
the Legislature agreeing upon much
practical legislation before the rapidly
approaching end Of the session, the two
most important measures which the
Democrats should endeavor to secure are,
first-A law securing a free expression OF
the will OF the people through the ballot
box, and second Legislation that will
effect an immediate diminution of the
burdens now borne by the taxpayer. II

TO THE READERS OF THE DEMOCRAT

It gives me great pleasure to announce
to the readers OF the DEMOCRAT, and to the
public generally, that Major H. J. Hear
sew. recently connected with the
Shreveport Times, as one Of the most
accomplished editors in the State, has
consented to transfer his effective
pen to the columns Of the DEMOCRAT.
Major Hearsey was originally in
yited to become the Associate OF
Assistant Editor Of this journal, but, at
nv own suggestion, the Directors OF the
Publishing Company have allowed me
to ioin his name with mine, as a CO.
equal editor, thus fully dividing the la.
Dor and responsibility Of the editorial
management OF the DEMOCRAT. His
name will be seen in its proper position
ut the head Of the paper, this morning
! and in few days he will appear per
manently ut his post.
It is unnecessary to say that MaJo
Hearsey Is thoroughly identified will

ST.. FRANCIsvILLE, Feb. 7, 1876.

ST. ERANCISVILLE, req. 4, 1870.
Editor of Democrat;
During the month Of January we had
mostly warm and pleasant weather, and
for the past eight or ten days there has
been much rain fall, and the weather has
been cold and disagreeable. The freed
men are, as usual at the commencement
of a new year, very backward in moving
for new crop, while some have
changed their location, going mostly
where they can rent land, where there
is no proprietor to have a supervision
over it; while some have left the parish
and gone down the coast to work on
sugar estates. Nevertheless, some of
the planters who have made contract
with the freedmen for a portion Of the
crop have not yet made q settlement
with their hands, assigning as reason
that the cotton crop has not all yet
been disposed of, and until then q set
Element cannot be had
1t seems to me that such a contract
should ha entered into that settlement
may be made on the first day OF Janu-
airy OF each and every year, and in that
case, plantation work could be COM
menced much sooner, also give the
| freshmen a better opportunity to change
localities, il they felt inclined to do SO.
and give better satisfaction to all CON
cerned.
The mass meeting held at st. Francis
Vile on the Goth ult. was the largest and
the best representation Of the land
holders aud reliable citizens of this
parish that has been held for many
years; and it was we'll understood by
every one that the object was to regulate
our parochial affairs, and which, in the
hands Of bad men, had fallen into a
lamentable condition. Some Of the old
/ acf 1if 4 fo,~ Il
ty Of the parish, and who rarely come to
town, were there, and no meeting could
! be more harmonious and unanimous,
, than in the proceedings had.
The DEMOCRAT is becoming day by day
more popular here, and especially did /

Feb. was inquired for, and which con-
tanned the communication signed H.,

Whereas, 1t Is apparent that the Rad
ical party in the State Of Louisiana,
despairing OF success by fair means,
have resolved to pursue the same policy
by which in the past they have been
enabled, against the wishes and voice Of
majority Of the people, to secure pos
session OF the government CT the State,
and by the aid of Federal bayonets to
retain the possession thus fraudulently
and violently obtained; and,
Whereas, it is evident that they have
determined at every cost to perpetuate
the Returning Board, which has hereto
fore done 80 much to render futile our
victories at the ballot box and to destroy
the liberties Of the people; therefore
be 1t
Resolued, That the Central Executive
Committee Of the Democratic and Con
sentative party OF the State Of Loui-
siana, earnestly urges upon the Demo.
cratic and Conservative members OF the
Legislature to exhaust every means in
their power to prevent such an outrage
upon the people OF the State, as the
passage Of an election bill, containing
any provision establishing a Returning
Board with unlimited power, or with any
power, which will enable them to defeat
the will Of the people as expressed al
the ballot box.

the purpose Of an additional word OF
two upon the subject. We will put aside,
as an unreasonable impression or sus-
picion, the thought, that the articles in
The Bulletin can be intended, no matter
what their inevitable effect, to reconcile
any portion Of the Democrats and Con
seryatives in Louisiana, in the one direc
lion, to the idea OF the propriety OF
necessity OF abstaining from the i'm
peachmento Of Kellogg and Antoine, even
il the Radical party in the State insist
on the Returning Board ; or in tho Other
direction, Of separating from the Ma
tional Democratic organization as ethel
unfriendly and untrustworthy. We are
quite sure that the Bulletin could have
meant neither alternative.
But let US look at the question in the
light OF the first OF the two articles tt
which we have referred. In that We
are advised to pursue line Of politica
action calculated to insure our relief
not so much by State defence, as by The
National success Of the Democratic par
ty. In this the DEMOCRAT concurs in
great measure. We certainly wish
nothing to be done in Louisiana, in o.
outside Of the State Legislature, which
can properly be characterized as VIC
lent, revolutionary or illegal. But il VIZ
submit to Returning Board, and to the
management Of the polls by majority
Of Radical Commissioners Of Election
are we aiding in the success OF the
National Democracy in the next Presi.

Righteously Slain.

We learn from the Richmond State, of the
2Stll, that Judge Allen, OF Shenandoah, 50
amended the immigration bill, on the 9th, as
to kill it, The State says that ''the bill as it
passed two sessions ago male of certain Off
cials-lhe Governor, Speaker Of the House OF
Delegates, and the basement offlcers-a board
of immigration and gave them the use OF the
fllnd-some fifteen Or twenty thousand dollars
altogether several appropriations being
merged.
That board was to have a c,lmbrous and
costly machinery. and when the expense OF
it came to be counted up it was found that the
land-seller-snpposin they could tind seller
and a bnyer-wotiltl have to pay about twice
what any ordinary. land agent would charge.
But. in point of fact, the board never found
buyer or seller, and never sold anything
How could it? Think of Speaker Hanger
leaving his clair aud his duty to prancc off to
Westmorcland and chatter with an Immigrant
over fifty acres Of Nresrass! Think OF the
Governor astritlc of Il slinac bull (the steed OF
the country and rXpatiating to IL land buyer
on the beauties of the broom straw OF Dim
witldie Picture Mr. Hunter climbing the B;iltl
Knob to sell Mr.. Edwin Booths savage estate.
The thing was an ;tbSurility from end TO end,
and the money wasted Which was spent by it.
In IL quiet SORT Of way this obvious conclusion
has been reached by the public, and new
plan, slightly different, was contemplated, by
which we were to have Il State agent OF liiiul'-
grafton and an advisory board, composed OF
the congressional delegation, was to assist Iliil
This was nonsense, too. The State Agent
would have had good place, and the money
would lave melted quietly away without pro-
ducing one single Immigrant
The whole scheme was merely to make an
easy place for some threadbare politician and
not benefit the people Of the State. The ac-
ton of the committee, when it visited Wash
ingtom a few months ago to confer with the
Virginia members of Congress, in ignoring the
only Republican from the State, gave evidence
that it was, not to induce immigration, unless
it strengthened the Conservative party. We
pity the contracted views of the public interest
that animated that committee. They, howev-
er, exposed the annus of the whole scheme,
and the people will thank Judge Allen for
killing the bill, engineered in the interest of Il
few designing men, who were aiming to PEN
sion on the State some political dead-beat, as
immigr .tion agent.
