We copy the following tTOm the
Galveston News 18th inst. It is
an extract from the proceedings of
the 9Th. Congressional District
democratic Convention, held re-
Gently at Austin, Texas.
Spann, of Galveston, presented
a series of resolutions, which he
stated would be submitted to each
congressional convention
HELP FOR LOUISIANA.
Whereas, owing to the over
wheIming IemOcratic majority 10
Texas, there will be little or no
necessity for prosecuting a vigor-
Gus canvass, or for expeDding
eigther much time or money upon
the same in this State and
whereas, our sister State Louis
lana, for wears uDder the iron heel
of oppression aud misruIe, and
now weak from the continuous and
incessant sappiug of her life blood
by tie vampires of radicahsm,
only needs the helping hand OF
this, her sister State, for her to
to rise in thefstFsngth of righteous
Indignation for her many wrongs,
to enable her to shake loose the
thrOttIing hand of despotism :;
therefore, be it
R,8oIred, That this convention
does most earnestly recommend
the democracy of tn COngres
si0ual District to direct their pner-
eies in the coming presidential
campaign to Eaise funds fol the
assistance of our brethren in Lou
isiaDa. That State, which has for
fifteen years been under an alien
and despotic government, will, if
she have the necessary assistance
and a fair election, be redeemed
from thraIlom at the coming eLec-
ton.
Reso5ved, That We urge upon the
local democratic organizations,
on individuals everywhere, the and
immediate appointment of sub
scription committees, whose duty
it shall be to raise funds to be de-
voted to the cause above indicated,
and that the subscriptions 50
raised be forwarded direct to
Major J. D. Sayers, chairman of
the democratic State Executive
Committee of Texas, to be by him
forwarded to the chairman of the
democratic Executive Committee
of Louisiana, there to be by him
distributed as he may see fit.
ResO(ced, That the democratic
Executive Committee of this State
be requested to send out to the
assistance Of our friends in Lou
isiana the best campaign speakers
that the State affords, and that
they be empowered to use any
funds for that purpose that may
be subscribed for campaign pur-
poses.

The first passenger train, Capt.

be has begun his canvass on the

trying to lie the country into the
belief that Gov. Tilden is a sham.
IL his fist speech made at Rut-
land, he said:
The pretensious of the reforms Of
Mr., Tilaen were . sham In canal re-
form it has amounted to the conviction
of one man, and he not punished, az an
expense of 800, 600, and covered no
money into the treasury"
Now see how plain a tale will
set this fellow down. The records
If the State of New York show
that for ten years ending in 1874,
the people OF the State paid an
average annual tax for canal
repairs of S2,279,615. In 1874
that tax amounted to S2,537, ,SI9.
How does the case stand now?
Why, the reform measures insti-
tuted by Gov. Tilden have resulted
in the entire and absolute abolition
of this tax. Not one cent now is
raised by tax for canal purposes.
And vet the canals, the press Of
New York tell US, were never kept
in better order. We scarcely think
the taxpayers of New York be-
grudge the 100000 which the ex-
POstmaster General affirms it cost

HOME ENCOURAGEMENT.

Encourage home interests, merchants.
mechanics, all classes. Upon this III
great measure depends the prosperity
Of every community. Those who DO
otherwise are sponges upon the fruits
Of their more generous and pubiic-spir-
tied neighbors, for in proportion as
community fiourishesin business point
of view are the interests of its iuhabl-
tapts enhanced. Pay Your money out
al home that the circulation may be
more free. and all will be benefited TO
some extent thereby; aud besides, II at
oil inclined to conscientiousEess, you
will feel better than if you had been
hucksterius over several foreign mar
kets 10 save dollar or two. Claiming
a habitation in one place and carrying
the earnings Of trade to another is \
ruinous policy, and ifgeneraIiy indu!ged
in would prove disastrous to the best
interests of any town, We care not
where situated. The class to which ne
here refer. or some Of them at least,
who never find anything at home good
enough or cheap enough, are not un-
frequently heard talking about how low
they bought certain articles at this or
that place. Not satisfied with having
done what they could to paralize home
interests they seek 10 Introduce others
"a do likewise. Such characters are
really entitled to but little sympathy or
protection among their fellow citizens.
We have first class stores OF all kinds
and master mechanics aud there is no
reason why they should be prescribed
by those whose interests are really their
interests; aud this applies to the cOun-
try az well rs the town. a prosperous,
,o-ahead town affords the farming COM
munity a better market for its surplus
productions than dull or comparative
" dead one, as well as contributing 70
the valuation of property miles around
il, 1t is therefore alike the interest OF
the countryman to seek to enlarge and
promote the interests Of such towns by
atfording them the encouragement thus
due to them over rival and foreign in
,erests. There are however exceptions
&c all rules and there may be in such
communities dealer here and there who
make practice of unfair dealing, who
are cheats or extortionists. All such
should be prescribed. starved out, and
those who are deserving fostered, pro-
tected.
