LEyISEE ON STATE FINANCE!
Special to the New Orleans Republican.

CoUsHATTA, La. September %, 1876.
There was grand Republican rally to-
day. Eleven hundred people we're present,
including large number OF Democrats.
The national and State nominees were rat
itied. Lieutenant Governor Antoine, Judge
A. B. Levisee and James D. Kennedy spoke.
Governor Antoine made telling speech,
and criticised severely the people for allow
ing desperate characters to perpetrate out
RACES. He did SO in way that was kindly
received, and left happy impression.
Judge Levisee made a mastery defense
OF the financial policy of the Republican ad-
ministration, contrasting it with the ex-
travagant Democratic expenditures Of the
past.
Although Mr.. Kennedy was the last
speaker, the people were held spell- bound
one hour and half. He was interrupted
no less than fourteen times by the Demo
Gratis present, and promptly answered every
question in manner that brought repeated
applause His effort here to-day and at
Shreveport last Saturd av, proves him to be
brilliant stump orator.
All the speakers were after ward compii-
mented by the Democrats present, who
maintained the best of order. The best
of feeling prevailed.
Put Red River parish down for 500 Re
publican majority.
The Democrats say Mr.. George L. Smith
will lead his ticket. His effort on behalf of
railroad interests and other internal i'm
provements will secure many Conservative
votes.
Mr. Smith and speakers leave this eve
ming for Natchitoches, to fill the other ap-
pointments in the Red River district.

FRANKLIN, La, September %, 1876.
One of the largest mass meetings ever
held on the Teche was held in Franklin to-
day
The speakers, all except Senator Cage,
who was called home, left Morgan City on
the steamboat Matte, chartered by Con
gresham Darrall for the occasion. At
eight this morning several hundred came
on at Morgan City, and then, with band
playing, flags flying and cannon firing, the
Matte steamed up by Pattersonville,
Centreville and the various plantations,
taking on hundreds more, till finally the
captain decided she could carry no more.
All were safely landed at Franklin, and
were met by the clubs from above, all
mounted; and after the procession had
formed and moved through the main
streets. the immense crowd gathered at the
courthouse square, and till dark listened to
speeches from Senator Burch. Congressman
Darrall, Judge Marks and Hon. Pierre
Landry.
We should have said that landing was
made at the plantation of Mr.. Acklen, the
Democratic candidate for Congress, BY the
boat, where his hands were taken on and a
salute given him by firing cannon, playing
"Hail Columbia" and giving three cheers
for Darrall.
The captain estimates six hundred on his
boat. and the crowd from above and here
would make up total of near three
thousand.
The spec ches were heartily received and
with greatest enthusiasm.
Good orde. and quiet prevailed through
out, the white people, many of whom were
present, giving close attention to the
speeches.
We 90 to New iberia tonight.

A Cry of Distress.

The San utters cry of distress. 1t says
in italics apropos of the Democratic can
vass: The want of means for the most le-
gitimate purposes has been all along and is
to-day one of the serious embarrassments
Of the campaign" This sho vs. how little
faith there is in the success OF the ticket
headed by Samuel j. Tilden. Were there
q ghost of q chance there would be plenty
of funds forthcoming. But the election Of
q Democratic President after the Vermont
and Maine elections and the .fqsco in New
York is so improbable an event that even
the most desperate political gamblers do
not care to put their money up. What little
money the Democrats have will be poured
into Indiana. The contest there will prob
able be the fiercest ever fought in any State
of the Union. Both Senator Morton and
Governor Hendricks have personal reasons
for wishing to be successful in the State
they represent; and the immense import
ance of the issue will call out every vote
in this State, and we fear q good many
votes beyond the State. A. Democratic sue
cess does not insure the election of Mr..
Tilden by any means, but q Democratic de-
feat will cause stampede to the HAYES
ticket.-Ney York Graphic,

MONROE, La, September %, 1876.
Mr. Packard and party spoke today to
an assembly of over 1000 people, notwith-
standing all kinds of intimidation was used
to keep the colored men away.
Good order prevailed during the meeting,
though the Democratic pole in Monroe yes.
terday and to day was covered with carpet
bags to burlesque the party, and cayenne
pepper had been sprinkled on the ground to
distress the audience.
The crowds that flock 10 hear the speak
ers are immense, considering the efforts Of
the bulldczers to keep the people away.
The enthusiasm is unbounded, and very
discouraging to the Democrats.
Mr.. Packard is assured of 1900 majority
in Ouachita.
The speakers to-day addressed the assom
bly, in the following order: Wharton, Pack
ard, McMillen, Campbell and Harris.
Jack Wharton's effort at the opening was
the speech Of the campaign, holding his
audience spell-bound tor over an hour. At
the conclusion the Republicans shouted and
threw their hats in the air, and even the
Democrats seemed to be Affected with the
general enthusiasm. INDEX.

Hon. Efingham Lawrence returned to
New Orleans yesteld day, after an extended
tour throughout the North. So far from
the reports, published in Democratic pa

Republican party, being true, he b as become
more enthusiastic than ever in his princi-
pies. Mingling daily with the most ele-
waited political society the conversations he
has had and the observations he has made
were responsive to the liberal views and
enlightened sentiments he entertains. All
things point to tie triumphant success of
the Republican party, and, though his rri-
vAte affairs demand almost his entire at
tention, yet he will sacrifice enough of his
time to make few addresses to his fello w.

War on the Flying Trapeze.


The trapeze is placed before the public in
a new light. Emboldened apparently by
the popular indignation caused by accidents
from ''trapeze acts" without proper safe
guards, a gymnast named Holland has
brought suit against the proprietors of the
new Park Theatre, Brooklyn, for damages
for disorder to his personal economy, oc-
casioned while in the performance of such
an 'act," and because the said proprietors
had failed to allow plaintiff to provide
netting. Possibly the responsibilities of
managers may thus be brought to test.
1t has long been known that these shows
have been given without protection, be-
cause of the greater sense of daring. but
Professor Holland this is without authority,
but we suppose he is professor), prcves
that he desired to have the proper safe
guard, but that the manager would not
permit it. That individual has been sum-
moned to answer.-Phi.adelphia Telegraph.
