LOUISIANA srl1E CONTENTION.

LOUISIANA STITE CONTENTION.
The State convention of Louis.
lana to nominate State treasurer
and members to the lower house OF
congress, met at Baton Rouge ut II
IN. last Monday. Aftera prolonged
and stormy session of three days up
to Wednesday night the convention
had failed to nominate a treasurer
of State. After balloting titty-nine
times the vote stood Burke, 145;
Moncure, 165; Richardson, II
Taylor, 80. The dispatches say the
affair is a perfect farce, and that it
has degenerated ito a rivalry be-
tween the city and country as to
who can hold out longest. The
nominations for congressman,
though in several Instances hotly
contested, seemed to pass off more
smoothly. The following were
made at last accounts: Second dis
trict, Gibson renominated. Third
district, Acklin renominated. In
Fourth district, ELAN nominated.
Sixth district, Robertson nomi-
mated.
The platform recommends the
levee system and calls for congress
sional aid for the Southern Pacific
railwayand the Brazilian steamship
line. 1t indorses the Nichols gov
eminent and State funding laws,
and approved the fraud investiga-
ton by the lower house of congress.
On the subject Of calling a cOnSti.
tutional convention they were some
what undecided and did not settle
that matter. One good plank at
least was adopted declaring that
the national banking system should
be abolished, national bank notes
retired, and in lieu thereof the gov
eminent should issue an equal
amount of greenbacks. 1t also de
manded the unconditional repeal Of
the resumption act, and is opposed
to the policy pursued by the repub,
lican party whereby the volume of
currency has been contracted below
the business requirements of the
country. The resolutions also as
sert that the bonds and obligations
of the government should be paid
in legal tender greenbaeks, except
where otherwise provided for in the
original law under which they we're
issued.

AT the Wednesdays meeting OF
the jackson county board OF
health, an important resolution was
passed, and one that will more eff
tectually prevent the introduction
of infection into this county. While
some may be opposed toquarantine,
yet is the duty Of every good citi-
zen to assist the board in carrying
out rigid enforcement of the laws,
and thus prevent yellow fever. from
being brought into this county.
Our board are wide awake, and are
going to carry out the laws to the
letter, and will punish violators
whenever caught.
