ATTACK ON HAYES.
BLAINE AND CONKLHNG go FOR HIS
FRAUDULENCY, AND HAVE A ROD

EEOw Harlan Secured Hls appointment ON

Fangement with Charley Howard to

Especial to the Democrat
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE attack made
by Blaine and Conkling to-day on Hayes and
John Sherman, when the item relating to the
expenses Of the Louisiana commission came
up in the sundry civil bill, was based on mat
ter which does not appear In their remarks.
The aim of this faction Of Radicals, repre-
sented In the investigation committee by Ben
Butler, is nothing less than the impeachment
OF Harlan, who was appointed to the Supreme
Bench as q reward for his services In exOrcis-
ing Packard's troublesome ghost from Hayes
troublesome dreams.
tt appears, from information in the hands
of the Radicals, which mag or mag not bt
brought out by Pitkin In the course Of his tes-
| timony, that Harlan and Hugh Campbell en-
| tered into an arrangement with Charley
Howard for the purchase OF sufficient mum
Der of Returning Board members of the Legis
lature to make legal quorum In the Demo
cratic Legislature. That Howard did his
share faithfully, and was rewarded by a de-
cision of tho Supreme Court here last winter
favorable to his interest, That Harlan was
the cause OF Howard's getting favorable de-
cision, and that Field, who was selected to de-
liver the opinion In the case, was imposed
upon, and great deal more similar matter
too voluminous for telegraphie limits.
have given you enough, however, to draw
conclusions from, and only have to add that
as soon as the committee gets at this feature
of the great fraud times will be lively with
Harlan, Howard and Hugh ]. Campbell.
1t is said here that Parker Postmaster at
New Orleans, Is coming here to labor person
ally with his relative, Ben Butler, to induce
him to let up upon this particular feature oi
the case, on grounds that you already under
stand. The situation is getting very much
mixed. BUELL..

The Death of Lymus Early I'm West
FelIClana,
West Feliciana Sentinel

A letter received yesterday from West Fell
ciana states that Lymus Early, colored and
an ex-member of the Packard Legislature,
was shot and killed In the parish named and
on Bayou Sara on Saturday night last, when
within O mile and o half of his own house.
He was riding in wagon at the time, and
when the letter was written no clue had been
found to the murderer.
The dastardly misrepresentation contained
In the foregoing paragraph Is taken from the
New Orleans DEMOCRAT of the seventh in
stant. 1t has for some time become O subject
of severe comment among our people, that
there seems to be O studied spirit among our
New Orleans COntem poraries, or o singular
want of proper information, that leads to an
invariable perversion of facts, through which
we are placed in false light before the coun-
try and our people slandered and tradueed.
of the whole cloth. 1t could not have
nected with the death Of Lymus Early
were too patent and indsputable to admit
of the least doubt. They were strictly cor
rect as published in our last issue. We hard
ly think it possible that the DEMOCRAT
would give currency to communication of
this nature unless derived from source con-
sidered wholly reliable by the editor, and the
author Of which he deemed fully responsible
for his assertions. Our people have q right
to inquire as to the identity Of their ma
ligners and traducers, and in their name we
call upon the DEMOCRAT to disclose the name
of the reckless individual who indited the
letter from which the above was taken. Our
city contemporaries should exercise proper
caution to prevent being imposed upon in like
manner in the future.

Members and Bonds.
columbia Herald

One of our most prominent citizens of Cald-
well remarked, that Louisiana would never
have q new constitution till the people revo-
lutionized or commenced hanging the mem
bers of the legislatures who oppose it, when
they return to their parishes.
This Is very hard language for one to use,
and one of the EXTREMIST measures that an
enlightened people would ever expect to resort
to- We believe however, that there are
plenty Of honest, high-toned men scattered
through the State; men Of good ability fully
capable to take hold of the helm Of the State
and steer her through the breakers into the
harbor of peace and prosperity, who favor q
new constitution, and cannot be touched or
bribed by men who used money to thwart the
people In the last Legislature. The people
must come to the front all over the State, and
select such men as cannot be bribed or bull
dozed by the fraudulent bond owners and
moneyed men who have heretofore overcome
the people through corrupt means.

CrOps-PIenty of RRln-EOss from the
MOrgRnZa CrevaSsC-The New Orr
leans Pacific Railroad.

Especial Correspondence Of the Demonratl
PLAouEMINE, June 15, 1878.
Editor Democrat have had considerable
rain this week; needed some but have more
than is necessary just now
The crop prospect is good so far, in the
main.
A recent trip up the Crosse Tete country
showed that once rich bayou to be suffering q
good deal from the waters of the Morganza
crevasse, one side Of the bayou being nearly
all under water and almost abandoned. The
west side Is protected by levee, and behind
this crops are good.
Work on the Pacific Railroad has got down
into our parish. The grading Is mostly done
down to Roaedale, on the Bayou Crosse Tete,
and will no doubt be pushed on. This road
crosses the Crosse Tete and Opelousas Rail-
road few hundred yards from Rosedale and
short distance below this little town, turns
off eastwardly across the swamps between
the Crosse Tete and the river to the high
lands in the rear of Brusle Landing, thence
following the general course of the river
through this place on to your city.
We hope to see this road driven ahead and
in running order soon. It passes through q
fine portion of our State, and cannot fail to
develop it to wonderful extent.

THE LOWER RIVER LEvEE INTERESTS
CROWDED. OUT.
no Chance Left for the Special Levce
Appropriation Unless the session
he Further Prolonged.
Especial to the Democrat. ]

Especial to the Democrat
WASHINGTON, June 17.--So far as can as
certain the special levee interests Of the lower
river will be crowded out and fall for this
session. Nothing will be done beyond the
miserable pittances appropriated In the river
and harbor bill, which do not amount to more
than an insult. There Is no chance left for
Robertson's special bill now except under a
suspension Of the rules, and unless the session
Is prolonged beyond o'clock tomorrow this
will be out of the question.
This result, after so much talk and 80
many promises, is little less than comedy.
It would be grossly unfair to hold Robert
son responsible for the failure that has
attended the levee interests this session
He has worked indefattgably, but 1t Is not
easy for new member to succeed in pro.
iect OF so much importance against the ac.
tive opposition of many Of his most infiuen-
tial party colleagues, including to some ex'
tent the Speaker himself.
On the whole, 1t appears that the materia
interests of Louisiana have been entirely ig
nored by this Congress, and that, too, IL
spite Of the best efforts Of her representa-
tives. They have certainly been active ant
Industrious enough, without exception.

| New York Savings Banks-Letter From
the Rfnto superIntendent.

New YORK. June 17.-The acting superin-
tendent of the State bank department has
written letter to the officers of savings
banks in every section of the State, calling
attention to the fact that as o rule, the ex-
tions are too great and far exceed those Of the
New England savings banks. He advises, In
view of the downward tendency in prices and
the appreciation of the currency dollar for all
banking purposes, that the salaries Of bank
officers and EN- ployees, fixed during the period
of imitation and depreciation of the currency.
be reduced. He considers that rigid economy
should be the rule In savings banks; that de-
positors have a right to claim this that the
theory of banks requires 1t, and that the
savings banks law enfOrces it.
