has resided in Claiborne ever since.
He was gallant soldier of the Lost
Cause, and rose to the rank of Lieu
tenant Colonel. He voted for James
Buchanan in 1856, and for J. G. Brock
enridge in 1860.
Col. Young was a Liberal in 1872,
believing that movement the wisest to
defeat the Radical party, and was
nominated, with d. B. Penn, as can
didate for Lieutenant Governor. His
name was subsequently Withdrawn to
effect the Fusion of 1872, and Col.
Young cheerfully submitted to the
Withdrawal, and exerted himself to
secure the success of the Fusion ticket.
He is now member of the Democratic
State Central Committee.
O.. 9. GEN. j. FLOYD KING,
of Concordia, the Democratic candidate
for the XLVIth Congress, is native
of Georgia. His father, Hon. Il. Butler
King, was member OF. Congress from
Georgia many years ago. Gen. King
has been a prominent citizen of Con-
cordia for several years, where he has
had large interests in his keeping, and
has been pronounced in his adhesion
to the Democratic party. He is gen.
tleman of pleasing address, decided
energy, and a hard and enthusiastic
worker in whatever he undertakes.
He is good organizer, and will make
a working member of Congress-.
The TELEGRAPH trusts that its read
ers will do all in their power to secure
the election of these gentlemen. They
were chosen by full conventions of the
best men &C the State, and they stand
pledged to promote the best interests
of the virtuous and intelligent people
of our sadly afflicted, much oppressed
State. They ought to be triumphantIy
elected, and nothing, we are confident,
they can do to effect tho final redemp-
ton of Louisiana will be left undone.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES FOR STATE
TREASURER AND FOR CONGRESS-.

The notices we had intended to make
of the Democratic nominations for
State Treasurer and for Congress have
been unavoidably deferred owing to
the weakness of our Office force and the
prevailing yellow fever excitement,
the success of these candidates. 1t has
been, i'll fact, n continuous struggle for
weeks to get out a paper at all, and
this we should not have done except
for the publication of legal advertise
ments and for the encouragement of a
courageous encounter with the pre-
vailing fever panic. ... -
MAI. L. A. BURKE,
the Democratic nominee for Treasurer,
was born in Louisville, KY, in 1871 :,
of parents born in Virginia, who were
of immediate Irish descent. Major
Burke, at the age of 10, was engaged
in the railroad business in Texas, which
he abandoned to enter the Confederate
army. His conduct as a soldier gained
for him promotion, and the especial
admiration of Gen. Kirby Smith, under
whom he was serving at the close of
the war.
Maj. Burke arrived in New Orleans
without money and without friends !;
| engaged at work in a marble yard,
from which he was taken to become
an employee Of the Now Orleans and
jackson railroad, and by the Company,
in 1872, was promoted to the manage
ment of the freight business of the
road. Maj. Burke began to take an
interest in the politics of the State and
of New Orleans, about 1872, and rap
idly rose to prominence His subse-
quent career is familiar to all who
cherish a circumference of tho efforts
made to redeem Louisiana from Radi-
cal misrule.
COL. j. s. YOUNG,
the nominee of the Democrats of this
district for the uneXpired term of the
late Judge Leonard in Congress, is n
well-known citizen and a leading at
torney of North Louisiana. He has
lived in the State since 1858; was grad
uated at Centenary College in 1856, and

Since the yellow fever began ut
Delhi the following named persons, of
the seventy cases reported, have died,
viz: Dan Blake, Miss. Neathorly,
Mrs. Merrett, Mrs. Williams, Lizzie
and Lille Bishop, Thomas Hogan,
Maggie SIattorly, Mrs. DIR. Lilly, Jack
Colbert, Jimmie Berry, and four
negroes. Dan Blake, whose case was
the first to prove fatal, was in Vicks-
burg when the fever first broke out in
that city. 1t was from this case the
infection spread.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Tho "Nationals'' in the first con-
gresional district have nominated III.
Q. Castellanos for Congress. We do
not know who are the Nationals, but
Mr.. Castellanos is q criminal lawyer of
Now Orleans of considerable talent,
and a politician noted for his GOODNESS
toward the Democracy.
The Democratic primary elections in
Claiborne (of which there were two, a
primary and n secondary resulted in
the nominations of J. H. Hay and W..
G. Martin for representatives, III. w.
Kirkpatrick for sheriff, and 7. L..
Brown for tax collector. Judging
from the comments of the ssGuardian,"
we infer that there is some dissatisfac-
ton with the manner OF conducting
in favor of primary elections, and
extra precautions were taken to make
the result satisfactory. Objections now
would seem not only to be in bad
taste, but unjustifiable.
In the Oath senatorial district, COM
posed of the parishes of Catahoula,
Winn and Grant, the Democrats have
nominated DIR. J. F. Kelly, of Winn,
for the Senate. DIR. Kelly was elected
to tho Senate in 1872, by the Demo-
Gratis, but was counted out by the Rad
icals.
The Democrats of Concordia held
mass meeting on the 7th, presided
over by Judge Mayo, at which strong
resolutions were adopted ratifying the
nominations of Col. Young and Gen.
King, and favoring the call of con-
stitutional convention by the next
legislature at the earliest day prac-
ticablc.
j. Madison Wells announces him
self a candidate for Congress in the
Red River district in opposition to
Judge Elan. He says he is just as
good a Republican as over, but he runs
as an s'Int7ependent." Any more indie
pendents? In this connection we
copy from the Bastrop Clarion the
following item:
We are Informed that n caucus was
held in town one day last week by the
so-called independents. A majority,
it not all of those present formerly be-
longed to and affiliated with the Rad
ical party of Morehouse. Wonder if
these men think they can hoodwink
the people of this parish by such a
thin sham?
