Tentine On the Old Camp Ground.

The meeting of the Boys in Blue at In.
dianspolie, Indiana, has been An event that
has astonished the North and South alike.
The use Of superlatives to describe it would
only show lack of appreciation.
1t lasted two days. The great railroad
centre, with it's hundred trains day, had
welcome for every one of the 5000 Boys in
Blue that halted there. Governors of other
States eagerly strove with Senators to find
old companions in arms. Bands of music
with battle-scarred members made the air
resonant with old time strains. The great
War Governor of Indiana, whose great heart
and tender hand seemed close to every
soldier while the war lasted, welcomed
them Garfield called to their minds that
they fought to make citizenship universal,
and read the letter of General John A. Dix,
hich called on them to maintain the gov
ernment. There were few words from
General John A. Logan and General Noyee,
and the first day closed.
During the next day the streets were
filed with proc essions and congratulatory
gatherings. The whole city was full of
enthusiasm, and there was not thought
but of the Boys in Blue.
At the meeting the permanent organiza.
ton resulted in the choice of General E F.

THE MEETING IN IBERI A
TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE PRESEN1
FROM THE DEMOCRACY

NEW IBERIA, September a. 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
The meeting in Iberia parish to day was
a grand success.
At about eleven o'clock mounted pro
cession was formed in the lower part OF the
town of New Iberia, and marched up Main
street, taking at least one hour to paes a
given point. It was headed by the New
Iberia band.
On arriving at the place designated for
the meeting at about twelve o'clock, l
found an immense crowd of people, and
after reviewing the grounds it was ascer'
tanned that there were 1T least 2OOl
people present. Among them were some OF
the most prominent Democrats of the
parish.
The meeting was presided over by Major
Allison, surveyor of Iberia parish, aud was
addressed by Hon. Morris Marks, j.
A. Brook shire. J. Henri Burch, W. B. Mer
chant, v. E. Mccarthy, Pierre Landry, c.
B. Darrall and others. The immense
crowd was enthusiastic and cheering.
The speeches of Hons. Morris Marks
and j. H. Burch were both lengthy AMI
telling. The other speakers were limited in
time, but they had the desired effect.
There can be no doubt in the mind OF any
reasonable man who attended the meeting
and who knows tbs relative strength OF
the two parties in iberia, but that the Re
publicans will carry the parish in Novem
Der by at least 400 majority.
1t is.a notable fact that such sharp poll
ticans as Hon. L. A. Wiltz concede that
their party will meet with poor show in
this parish.
There are at least 300 white men
who have heretofore voted with the
Democrats in Iberia who have come over
to the Republicans and are now openly ad
vocating the success of the State and dis
trict ticket. They are all the personal and
political friends OF Hon. Theo. Fontelieu, oul
candidate for district Judge.
The Democratic orators are making
speeches on the Teche to their constituents
and few colored people, who attend thei'
barbecues for the purpose OF seeing ano
hearing what they can, and to help eat w
the immense amount of beef, mutton, etc
provided for the occasion. Their meetlngl
in Iberia, St Martinsville and Breau1
Bridge we're very slimly attended, and thu
enthusiasm was not such as pleased tht
orators and politicians present.
Our speakers will leave fer Abbevillt
Monday, where they have an engagement
to speak on Tuesday. They will then return
to New Iberia, preparatory to filling othel
enpagemonts. w.

Board Of Health.

The Board of Health, through DR.. Holt,
sanitary inspector of the Fourth District,
is now making scientific examination and
test, more thorough than has ever before
been attempted, of carbolic acid. and ex.

a disinfectant.
The recent experiments in New York with
the Girondin disinfectant, and the favor
with which physicians there regard it,
have interested all the members, and an
examination of it will be had as soon as
possible.

Statement from Governor Kellogg,


EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT }
B. ats OF LOul lana
New Orleans, september 25, 1867
To the Editor OF the Pieayune:
SIR notice with regret that the Pic
ay4ne of yesterday, under the head of
Estate Consols"-"The Interest on the State
Debt-"Have the State Funds been Tam.
pered With7" gives publicity to statement
which inquiry of the proper officials would
have shown to be untrue in every essential
particular.
No money was diverted from the general
fund to pay the July interest on our State
consOls. There has been NO dive rsion o1
any general or special fund for any purpose
Whatever. All persons familiar with State
finances know that any such dive rsior
would be impossible without its bel nl
promptly known. Moneys coming into thu
treasury to the credit of the general fund
are absorbed as fast as paid in by outstand
ing warrants. Any attempt to disturb th'
other three funds, viz: The levee, Stat
House and school funds would be imme
diately met by an unmistakeable utcry OF
the part of persons interested.
The interest fund is intact, and see NJ
reason to doubt that the State will hav
q sufficient amount on hand TO pay the Jan
nary interest on our State consols as it fall
due.
Assertions similar to that quoted by tn
Pieaynnc have been circulated for som
months by little ring of speculating bro
kers in this city for the purpose of "beal
ing" the new State consols So long as thes
| misstatements were confined to their orig
inal channels they did little or no harm
But when the Picayune, by repu bli shin
them without inquiry gives them cir cula
! ton where thu character aud stand ing {
the parties making these charges are III
known, grave injury is done to the credit .
the State. ! therefore ask you to max
public this authoritative contradiction.
Very respectfully,
WIN. P. KELLOGG.

BAsTRoP, La, September 25, 1876.
There vas an immense gathering of the
clans here to-day. There were 1900 colored
and 800 white men at the meeting. The
speakers were J. p Harris, Esq Hon. s.
b. Packard. Judge H. j. Campbell, General
w. L. McMillen and General Jack Whar-
ton.
The bulldozers were out in force. The
Democratic pole WAS hung with carpet
bags, and decorated with an efigy OF Mr..
Packard.
Mr.. Harris opened, and though the bull
dozers attacked him on all sides with inter
ruptions and insults, his was . successful
skirmish line. and he carried everything be-
fore him. He eHectually silenoed the ruff
fans who interrupted him by the moet
brilliant repartees, and even gained the ap'
plause Of some of the Conservatives.
Mr.. Packard, though jeers and taunts
greeted him, swept the field clear Of all in.
terrogstories in the first few words of his
speech. He invited an investigation Of bis
record, and offered to advise all the colored
men to vote for Nichols if any man could
make q point against his reputation. he
triumphantly answered several charges
made against him by Democrats in the
crowd. He made masterly defense Of the
Republican party, and clearly showed what
the Kellogg administration had done to re
duce the debt and taxation Of Louisiana.
He was not afterwsrd interrupted, and
was given close attention to the con
clusion of his speech.

the Times narrative that IAN armed and

the sequel showed that .'they took their

There was an increase of confidence in

Once more we call the attention Of
Congress to the Indian policy which has
been pursued in Canada. There Indian
wars are unknown, and the expenditure
per capita on account Of the Indians in
the Dominion is triaing compared with
that of our own Government. And vet
some of the tiercest Of the very Indians
who were engaged in the Minnesota
massacres, when driven over the border,
became quiet and peacable members
of the Canadian population. The rea-
sons for the success Of the Canadian
policy and the failure of our own are OBJ.
vious. The Canadians have kept faith
with the Indians, while we have persist
emily violated treaties, and the agents of
the Government have cheated the In.
dams in every possible way. A change
in our policy would save many lives and

his share of the benefit of this in excel

this firm is impossible. These ars preg.

erything, as I happen to know, sent out

their work.
The character Of the men at the helm
is another vital thing to be considered
in this connection. Gentlemen of high
business and social standing do not lend
their names conspicuously to the manu.

The same firm I am now writing of is

are those of whom we would naturally
expect nothing but good works; and they
never disappoint this expectation.
