The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1877-10-28

The press convention, called to meet in
Baton Rouge early in this month, was fail
ure, and the few members of the press who
were present have issued u call for the con-
vention to assemble in this city early In No
vornber. We take the liberty Of suggesting
b. our contemporaries of the country press
that they agree to defer the meeting until the
time fixed for the meeting of the immigration
convention here Most Of the editors of the
country papers will be delegates to the immi-
grafton convention, and all of them should be
In attendance, as the people must depend
largely upon the press to carry out the immi-
grafton scheme. By pursuing this plan the
success of the press convention will be as
sured, and the assemblage held at q time
when It will be most convenient pleasant
and profitable for our country contempora-
ries to be here. OF course, they will be most
cordially welcomed at any time they may
select to come but we suggest this as perhaps
the most convenient arrangement for them

needful to perfect the civilization Of the
nineteenth century Is the establishment III
our institutions of learning the chair of
gastronomy. When this Is done the
cook will rank among the highest and
most honored members of I society
he will be courted, dined and petted
Mothers ambitious for their boys will teach
them to look forward to the time when they
will be great cooks, and the young lover de-
parting for college, as he presses to his heart
his blushing sweetheart. will whisper to her,
not his purpose to become lawyer or
doctor or an edhtor, but of his vauIting ambi-
ton to leave college a thorough cook.

ment and are unstable on account of their
inaccessiblity.
Let these be placed in railroad communica-
ton with this city and there would be q rush
of people to this country, and the lands would
be In great demand. The same remarks
would apply to other portions of our State
But for the present we confine ourselves to
the only railroad enterprise now In process Of
construction and demanding the urgent atten-
ton OF our people and the aid of our capital
lists. The completion of this road will prove
the most efficient method of promoting the
object of those who with such commendable
zeal and publicspirit are urging upon our citi-
zens the great need and importance of o
larger immigrant population, and who pre-
sent to the people of other States and coun-
tries the noble field which this State offers to
labor, enterprise and profitable investment.

We publish elsewhere letter handed US by
Major Columbus Allen, in which Mr.. Charles
H. Slayback very cleverly defends the position
taken by him before the st. Paul Convention.
Asou correspondent Is far from entertaining
any personal animosity toward the accom-
plished writer of this epistlc. and only men
toned the episode with which his name Is
connected In his letter to the DEMOCRAT as a
matter Of history which the people of New
Orleans had right to know, we cheerfully
give him this opportunity of explaining him
self 10 his friends and fellow-citizens.

Our telegram yesterday announced that
there were five appointees of Collector
King before Secretary Sherman for confirna-
hon. Three were confirmed, two were re-
iected. The names of the appointees are given
in our telegram; they are all well known Re-
publicans. The two rejected were Democrats
and sons Of two notable Conservatives So
called, who have heretofore acted with the
Democratic party. The claims of these young
gentlemen, who were perhaps the worthest
Of Kings nominees were backed by num-
Der Of Conservatives; but Sherman was proof
against all their alfurements and refused to
consider them as eligible to places in the Gus

THE EADS OOWDEN CORRESPOND.
ENCE.

A correspondence, marked by much asperi-
~, is just now being carried on through the
columns of the Memphis Avalanche between
Capt. James B. Eads, the ietty engineer, and
Capt. John Cowdcn, the head of the Barataria
Canal scheme.
This correspondence was opened by Capt
COwden In a very vigorous attack upon
recent letter of Capt. Eads to the president of
the jetty company, which has been very gen.
orally printed in the newspapers In his
epistle Capt. Cowden charged that Capt. Eads
did all In his power to defeat the passage
through the Louisiana Legislature, at its last
session, of the blu chartering the Barataria
Canal Company. This charge Capt. Eads
denies, and In denying it makes the following
most extraordinary statements:
WAS asked by several gentlemen of inau-
s %ss e defeat his eharter f aia nSi
by them that they would kill it if l wished it
twas also offered the aid of certain members
of the press to defeat 1t. and l gave the same
answer TO them
was never in the Legislature hat passed his
fCowden'sl charter. but was assured by some
81. Charles Hotel that they would prevent the
passage Of the bill If thought it would injure
me.
We do not propose in this connection to dis
calss the merits of the ietties; they have, so
Tar, accomplished wonderful results; the
weight OF popular opinion is in their favor,
and we entertain ourselves sincere and
deep-rooted hope that they will accomplish
all that their distinguished protector has
predicted. It is, therefore. in no spirit of
hostility to the great work Capt Eads
has in hand that we say, that the state
ments quoted above are humiliating to
this State Private individuals are at per-
fect liberty to act in matters OF public inter
nst either upon their own investigation or
Judgment, or to rely for their opinions upon
other persons in whom they have more faith
and confidence than they have in themselves.
