HON. J. L T. SNEED.
HE DECLINES THE GUBERN4 To-
RIAL RACE.

It is well known to our readers
that Judge John l.. T. Sneed was a
candidate before the late Democratic
Judicial Convention which nominal
ed the present ticket for Judges OF
the Supreme Court. Defeated in
that Convention 10 the regret Of ma
ny friends who have known him long
and intimately, some OF his friends
turned instinctively to him as pro-
per person to receive the appoint
ment Of the Judges-his late asso-
ciates-to the Office of Attorney
General and State Reporter. while
others recommended him to his fel
low-citizeBs as fit person to receive
the highest Office within the gift of
the people, viz: that Of Governor.
There were others seeking the latter
place, which Judge Sneed has not
nor does not. He objects to take
any political position. and therefore
peremptoriiy declines the race for
Governor. as will be seen by the fol-
lowing letter of declination
MINERAL HILL, TENN, July 10, 1878.
Hon. Jo1,. A. Gardner, Dresden, Tenn:
Ny DEAR SIR-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge your letter of a recent date,
in which you refer to the movement in
your own behalf in connection with the
candidacy for Governor, and to the fact,
also, that some of my friends wish to
present my name for the same distin-
guished honor; and in which you also
generously propose to retire from the
field, if l desire the nomination. j have
received many private letters from
friends in the three grand divisions of
the State, upon the same subject, and
also a formal call numerourly subscrib-
ed by representative citizens, asking to
be allowed to present my name to the
Convention.
While am deeply and most gratefully
impressed by this unsolicited move
ment among my friends, it is proper that
I should respond at once, and to all alike,
that cannot, at this time, enter pOliti-
cal life, and that will, in no event, ask
or consent that my friends may ask a
nomination for that or any other politi-
cal position. recognize my allegations
to the people of Tennessee, for many
public honors, and concede their right
ordinarily to command the services of
the citizen in any line of public duty to
which they would assign him, but there
are hig her and holier obligations even
than these, which the citizen owes to
those dependent upon him, and these
obligations 1 can not and dare net
ignore. have the honor to be,
Very truly yours,
JOHN L. T. SNEED.
We have long known Judge Sneed
and admire him for his many noble
and good qualities as citizen and
a politician, but more particularly
for his qualities as a judicial officer.
He enjoys the respect and esteem Of
all good men, and it is to such men
we desire to entrust with places of
There are few men
who are thoroughly fitted for Attor-
ney General and Reporter; Judge
Sneed is, and therefore we repeat
what has already been iterated in
the columns Of the GAZETTE let the
Judge have his choice and receive
the appointment from his late asso-
ciates to the latter Office.

HICKORY FLAT, June l9, 1870.
Editor Lake Charles ECHO:

Editor Lake Charles ECHo:
Dear Sir-The necessity for a
thorough organization OF the De
mocraticlC conservative party OF Cal
casieu was never greater than at
present. Registration has been 60
ING on for more than one month,
and not more than ten. per cent of
the white voters. in the l0calltles
where the office has been opened,
have presented themselves for reg
istration, while at the same places
ninety per cent of the negroes ana
Indians have been registered.
|. AS the republican party has pub
Iielv asserted its determination to
carry at least two congressional
districts in Louisiana, and has al
ready opened fire upon us with its
heIIish battery of incendial1sm, IN
citing the ignorant negroes to acts
of bloodshed and murder, 1T rs plain
to see that the democratic party
has vet to fight the hardest, and
most important battle which 1T has
fought since the wal.
The masses of the democratic
party in Louisiana have fallen into
the serious error Of surprising that
because the State has been restored
to democratic rule there is nothing
left to do. and that it viii be impos
sible for the republican party to re
gain the control of our State gov
eminent. They forget that after
all it is a mere question OF votes
whetherone party or the other shall
rule, and that while the democratic
vote is always in danger OF being
split up among independent candl-
dates, and of losing its numerical
strength by Indifference to the sys-
TEN Of registration, the republican
voters always register, and always
concentrate their vote solidly upon
their party ticket. The fact stares
us in the face that unless the de-
mocracy turn out and register, and
poll their full Vote, the republicans
will surely regain all they have lost.
Then let our parish Democratic
committee wake up to the impor
tance of animmediate and thorough
organization of the democratic par
ty of Calcasieu, and of arousing the
democratic voters of our parrish
from their suicidal policy of indit1er
ence to the requirements OF thereg
istration law.
lit is sheer madness to allow Cal
casieu, thefSamson of the democratic
parity OF Louisiana, to be shorn of
it's strength at a time when its
strength is more needed than ever
before; and unless our democratic
voters register, and Vote III solid
phalanX, we may confidently expect
a republican congressmap to be
elected from orr district, and per
haps a republican senator to our
State senate.
An awful responsibility rests mp
on us in the coming campaign. Can
we expect to meet it with less than
half of our democratic strength
Respeetfully.yours,
A. G.
