The New Orleans daily Democrat., 1877-05-02

Jno. d. King, whom President Hayes
has appointed Collector of the Port in
the Tom Anderson interest, was elected
to Congress in 1868 by the Democrats
Of his district, though he failed to get
his seat because he was Democrat.
At that time he was an active member
Of the famous order Of the Knights Of
the White Camellia. He developed into q
simon pure Radical some time last year.
when he presided over Tom Anderson
meeting in st. Landry parish, and very
soon after Brandle Bill appointed him
o member OF the Supreme Court. From
this little history it will be seen that
Mr.. King Is one Of the most accomplish
ed political acrobats of the day, he
having turn summersault from the
platform OF X. w. C.'s, into the bosom
of Tom Anderson and the Louisiana
Returning Board.
The New Orleans daily Democrat., 1877-05-02

We direct attention to the ADVERTISE
ment Of the Crescent City Relief Asso-
citation in another column of this morn
ing's DEMOCRAT. The entertainment
therein advertised to be given at Cruz
newald Hall on the evening Of the Sd
inst, is for the benefit OF the widows
and orphans OF the gallant men who
fell on the 14th OF September in the he
roic defense Of the rights of this peo-
pie. The blood of those men has made
holy to the people OF Louisiana the Four
teenth of September, and we trust that
those for whom our heroes gave their
lives, will show their gratitude by the
unaminity with which they will patron
ize the entertainment given for the
benefit Of the widows aud orphans Of
the fallen brave.
The New Orleans daily Democrat., 1877-05-02

with any Southern branches as calcu-
lated to jeopardizs the success OF the
main object had In view. For these
reasons alone we are at loss to see
how the ex-Speaker can hope to receive
the support of Southern members oi
| Congress, or at least from those States
directly and largely interesed In the
measures he has contributed SO much
| to defeat.
| That he is competent, an honorable
gentleman. and has made an excellent
presiding officer, no one will deny. But
in the selection OF o. Speaker for the
next House, the South will look beyond
these qualities and ask Will he be
friendly to our interests and aid us in
obtaining for our section what is SO i'm
peratiyely demanded? Judging by the
past, Mr.. Randall cannot stand this
test, and he will probably be compelled
to yield to one who will more fully meet
the requirements OF Southern repre-
sentatives.
OF the opponents Of Mr.. Randall, the
one whose official career in the past
gives promise Of friendly and active CO.
operation in the future with the South,
is Mr.. Sayler. Personally very popular,
thoroughly qualified, with q large fol-
low ing among the Western Democrats.
he will, it seems to us, be able to obtain
such support from Southern members
as will make the contest between him
and Mr. Randall very close and excit-
ing.
With ninety Southern Democrats in
CAUCUS to sixty Northern and Western,
it would be very strange, at this time, IL
the majority did not make itself felt,
and If policy or interest should dictate
REIMBURSEMENT Of Its power it should
still assert the right to say how that
power shall be exercised. There should
not be an absolute abdication, but mere
ly qualified and limited concession Of
that authority which the preponderance
Of votes has at last secured for the
South.
The judicious exercise of this power
will accou plish all our purposes, and will
enable us to name not only the next
Speaker OF the House, but to shape and
control legislation as we may deem best

THE FIRST DIRECTION OF CAPITAL

What are the conditions which must
precede the introduction Of foreign cap
ital and permit the increase Of railroad
investment and enterprise, which the
Times argues are the first essentials to
the revival Of the prosperity and prog
ress Of our State?
They are, first, the establishment of
a good government and Of the vigorous
enforcement of wise laws.
This condition we have attained as
nearly rs practicable In our present cir
cumstances. Peace, law and order pre-
vail in our State and every branch of the
government is. or will very shortly be,
in full and effective operation.
The next condition to invite capital
and stimulate railroad enterprise is in
creased production of the staples of our
section, which are convertible into
money and exchangable for the pro-
ducts we consume. The large aug
mentation Of these products and the
increase Of their value through manip-
ulation will draw to this mart a large
capital wherewith to move and con-
duct our trade.
For trade and commerce we may cal
culate upon the flow Of capital to that
point where there is large accumula-
tion Of the products OF the soil and Of
labor, which the world demands and all
people consume. Railroads, too, will
quickly follow this flow Of capital and
