The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1876-08-23
Louisiana, Mississippi and SOuti,
Carolina.

Senator Sherman declares that
Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina are Republican States, and
if Republican majorities there are
overcome with violence, the people
of the North will know it.'' This
looks like threat, and there is rea-
son for believing it is intended as a
threat. What the Ohio, Senator
means is that Louisiana, Mississippi
and South Carolina must not be car
ried for Tilden and Hendricks; they
are Republican States; they belong
to the Republican party, and they
must vote for Hayes and Wheeler,
otherwise the Republican Senate and
the President will assume that the
Democrats carried them by violence,
set the election aside, and refuse to
count their electoral votes,
We know of no authority that a
| United States Senator has for claim
| ing that any State in the Union is
Republican, in the sense that itmust
never be allowed to give a majority
for Democratic ticket. We have
the last six or seven years seen six
teen Republican States vote the Dem
ocratic tick t; we have seen such
staunch Republican States as New
Hampshire and Massachusetts repu-
diate the Republican party and elect
Democratic governors; We have seen
Arkansas and Texas change pre-
tended Republican majority of $4,000
to Democratic majority of 10000,
at single election; we have seen
Senator Sherman's own State elect
q Democratic Governor, and Senator
Morton's State initiate the example.
Why may not Louisiana and Mississ-
ippi do SO too, without being punish
ed for the offence? If the Republican
Senators mean, as the recent speech
es of Morton, Logan and Sherman
appear to indicate, that the Senate
will not recognize a Democratic
President, no matter how fairly cleo
ted, let them say so at once.-[N. 0.

THE WORK TO BE DONE.

The N. O. Plcayune in an admira-
bic article on the necessity of nomi,
mating the best men for legislative
and judicial positions concludes with
this sensible appeal;
The great work so auspicionsly be-
gun at Baton Rouge, is, therefore, not
as yet complete. Under system of
government such rs Ours, defect in
any branch may prove fatal to the we'll
being Of the whole body polite. If we
are really in earnest, if we want re-
form so much as to work for il as men
work for their daily bread, we vii!
stirk no public duty, however irksome
between this and election day; we will
see to it that our parish conventions
are properly constituted, and we will
uso every endeavor to secure the nom
nation of suitable men.
We trust the worthy example set by
Gen. Nichols will be accepted by
the best and ablest men in the State.
and that nobody will refuse to serve
the State in this critical period of its
history because he may, perhaps, be
able to make more money and to en-
JOY greater repose by remaining in q
private station. It is true that no
honest man of sufficient ability to
make himself useful as a Governor, a
legislator or judge, can serve in
either of these capacities without
pecuniary loss to himself. Those off
ces are not pecuniarily compensating,
except to political spectators who sell
their votes and betray the public
trust. But this consideration will not
weigh with men really anxious to re-
store the States lost prosperity. We
do not want a Legislature packed
with men who have nothing to lose
by going there, nor do we want a
bench occupied by INDECENT lawyers,
who have failed to make a living in
the regular practice of their profession
We know it is expecting a great deal
to ask men to sacrifice private to
public interests; but we have no hope
except in those exalted characters
who place the State first and sell
second.

Speaker Kerr.
RoCkBRIDaE ALUM SPRINGS, Va,
Aurnst lR 1876.

RooKBR1DaE ALUM SPRINGS, Va,
August Is, 1876.
Mr.. Kerr suffered the most intense
agony up to midnight last night, but
thereafter rested more comfortably.
His death is now only a question of
time and that a short one. His
mind is still clear and active; his
will as firm and resolute as ever
Hon. S. S. Cox and wife have just ar
rived to pay their last tribute to the
dying Speaker, He conversed with
them as freely as his fast failing
strength will admit. Hon, Mont
gomery Blair has had to-day quite a
lengthy conversation with Mr.. Kerr.
DR.. Pope says he (Kerr) cannot last
much longer; that his food refuses to
assimulate and he is now living
wholly upon his own fesh. Inns VIII
soon fail him.
Mr.. Kerr is surrounded by his
friends, who are momentarily expect
ing his death. This morning he die
tated dispatch to his law partner,
at New Albany, in which, after tell
ing of his intense pain, he says
"The end of it all is near at hand; /
wish it could be painless, but l fear
not. When this news. comes to you
at home bear it brayely and resign
eddy, for I will. My heart still turns
to you with warmest love-"
Mr.. Kerr's death may be looked
for before morning.

THE MAsQUERADERs,--P re 81 ent
Grant sends "bloody shirt" message
to Congress, to be published in tie
morning papers of the United States
simultaneously with the announcement
of the acquittal of Be!lnap. This is
done to attract the attention of the
people away from the escape of thieves.
But no one will be deceived by it.
The fact is, the people are very we'll
satisfied with the manner in which
Democratic State governments pre-
serve order and enforce honesty, and
not propose to be diverted from their
determination to drive rascals from
power in the Federal Government.
For Grant and his associate brigands
to masquerade the "bloody shirt" in
order to conceal their character as
public plunderers will have no effect.

Mortality Among C0IOred PoIiti-
clans.

The death of Thomas Isabel adds
another to the remarkable list Of NOR
tally among the colored politicians
of this State. Isabel was one Of the
most active, jealous and capable Of
the colored carpet baggers who have
ruled this State from 1868 until now.
He has fallen like the rest, alvictim to
the vices which political excitement
and strain have communicated to the
minds and bodies of the newl y-eman-
cipated. First the dignifed, staid
and most respectable full-blOoded ne
gro WHO ever appeared On the politi-
cal arena, Oscar j. Dunn, died sud
denly of some mysterious disease
While slave and subsequently after
being emancipated, he pursued the
honest trade of plasterer. He was a
remarkably vigorous and powerful
man, and commanded the respect Of
all who knew him. Drawn into the
vortex of politics, he was tossed to
and fro, and around on it's angry bill
lows, until his strong constitution
failed. Dunn has almost been for
gotten. There was a light mulatto,
named Ingraham, who by force of
some smartness and vast audacity,
Wanted into high political stations,
A predecessor of Pinchback, as the
champion of his race, Ingraham, two
months ago died Of dissipation and
vice, and was buried without honor
or respect from his own followcrs.-
Barber, General and Senator'S pure
blooded negro as dark as erebus-so
long as he was steward on the Nat
chez, WAS a healthy, vigorous, polite,
we'll behaved man. High elevation
turned his head and undermined his
powerful constitution, and he soon
died of apopiexy.
And now the mortality statistics
Of the aspiring colored politicians re-
ceive additions IN Isabel and Sclla
Martin. With such warnings, would
it not be wise for our illustrious
Lieutenant Governor, now acting
Governor, to take into consideration
the policy-a life policy-of a return
to his original and respectable avo
cation? That smiling colored Sena
tor, Stamps, from Jefferson, would al
so do well to heed the frequent, ear
nest demand of his fellow coloreC
men to resume his once reputable
trade of bod carrier and brick maker
Il New Orleans Times.
There is no telling to what exten'
the industrial avocations will have
accesions next year when we inaugu
rate honest government under Mich
oils. There will be no chance fo
our colored politicians to supper
themselves in idlencss, and they mus
return to the occupations of thei
earlierye Our Senator George vii

laid by for a rainy day, tits estima

Greeley to Tilden.
October 20, 1869, the late Horace

October 20, 1869, the late. Horace
Greeley addressed public political
letter to Samuel j. Tilden, who was
at that time and had been for FIVE
years previously, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee. T o
show what opinion Mr.. Greeley en-
tertained Of his life long political
opponent, we quote the Introductory
paragraph of this letter:
SIR-You and l are growing old. We
came here young from the country, and
have lived and struggled side by side
for nearly forty years. We have par
ticipated ardently in many political
struggles, always on different Sides
You were the pupil, and protege of Van
Buren, and Silas Wright; | a disciple
and follower of Henry Clay. But this I
will say for you, that l am confident
you nave never sought to enrich your
self Ey politics Or at the expense of the
public--that whatever Of wealth you
may have acquired or enjoyed was
earned in your profession as lawyer,
and that your instincts and your intls-
ence, partisanship apart, have general
ly been felt on the side of economy in
public expenditure and uprightness
in the conduct Of public affairs.
Such letter renders comparative
~ unnecessary any further indorse
ment of Mr.. Tilden as an incorrupti-
bic candidate, and a true, earnest re-
former.-[N. Y, Sun.
