The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-10-09

A few weeks ago the farmers Of South
ern Mississippi inaugurated @ move
ment against the merchants, under the
name Of the Farmers Alliance" A Sec
ond meeting was held at Brookhaven
last week, and this organization was
completed, and is now prepared for
work.
The name finally determined on by
this meeting was 1.-THE Farmers and
Workingmen's Central Association"
Each county 10 to be entitled to five
delegates to the Central Association,
which holds its sessions in Brookhaven.
The purpose Of the farmers, as declared
in their constitution, is "a movement
against capital diverted from the chan
mel Of legitimate trade into extortlon
and usury, and the encouragement and
elevation OF agriculture. .-....
The Brookhaven meeting was we'll at
tended and numerous speeches were
made in reference to the differences be.
tween the farmers and the merchants.
After some debate, resolution was
adopted, allowing the merchants Is per
cent advance on cash prices on goods.
The farmers were advised to settle with
the merchants on this basis and no
other.
The farmers movement has made
great Roadway in Pike, Lincoln and Co.
piah counties. The press OF these coun-
ties seem to put wholly different inter-
pretations on the movement, some Of
them encouraging and supporting it,
while others. as the Crystal Springs
Monitor, in Copiah, charge that the
movement in that county is political in
it's ends, and is encouraged and worked
by the Radicals in order to divide the
Democratic vote.

the Legislature, Is now lying hopelessly
i'll at bis residence in Assumption parish.
There are already siK vacancies in our
Legislature, two from resignation and
four from death. Hughes fellow-repre-
sentative from Assumption, George
Drury, has left the State, and is now
settled In Fort Worth running a Demo-
cratic paper; Desmarais, of st. Landry,
liz now In the Custom House; the other
four lost members are dead, and,
strange to say, all Of them from small
pox. OF the lost members all but one,
Cockerham, Of Bienville, were Repub-
licans.
No election has yet been held to fill
any of these vacancies. A thirty days
notice is necessary, 80 that If an cleo
tion were ordered now 1t could not be
held before the middle of November.
The people Of Bienville, who are with
out representation In consequence of
the death of Mr.. Cockerham, are very
anxious to elect member to FIJI the
vacancy during November, and the
Sparta Times requests the Governor to
issue such q notice during the present
month.

The story of Ju5tinian and ReIjsariI1

The story of Justinian and Belisarius
can never be told OF England. That
empire provides not only for it's gen.
erals and its leaders while living, but
for their descendants to the end Of
time, so that the names made famous In
its history shall never be dragged down
to abject penury and beggary. It has
been the custom of the English Parlia-
ment, for the last three or four centu-
ries, to donate pensions to it's great gen.
erals, admirals and statesmen and their
descendants. A book, recently pub
lished by the English government.

On the 18th of this month there will
convene at st. Paul, Minnesota, con-
yention composed Of representatives
from the great States that lie in the rich
valley of the Mississippi, whose purpose
will be to discuss the varied interests of
this region, and specially to demand of
the national government that the navi-
cation of the Missi ssippi and the pro-
lection Of the alluvial lands along its
banks be taken under it's control. The
DEMOCRAT, conceiving this convention
as one Of transcendent Importance. in
whose results the people of this State
are vitality concerned, has made unusual
exertions to secure the attendance of a
proper delegation from this city.
OF the delegates appointed to attend
it, only the following gentlemen were
able to attend: Col. Bush, Speaker of
the House; Mr.. J. M. Walpole, of the
Ptcaymne, and Capt. J. N. Augustin, of
the DEMOCRAT. In view of the small
number OF delegates who responded, we
made successful effort to have Prof.
Forshey, q gentleman more familiar
with the topography Of the Mississippi,
and more thoroughly informed as to
the levee system it requires, than any
other man, perhaps, 10 the country.
The success we met with in inducing
him to attend the convention, and the
way in which we comprised our object.
appears from the subjoined corresp ond-
ence:
