The Inter.Ocean.

One of the South Louisiana coun-
try journals wants the Inter. Oceans
charges against Major E. A. Burke
"apswered at once" 1t is just sncb
as this which has given and will give
the Northern Radical howlers a de-
cided advantage over our own people
in political canvass.
An upstart anonymous correspond
ent writes letter full of venom and
lies, snch as Mat Wells wrote the
Chicago Inter- Ocean, and Immediately
we find lot Of Southern people who
at once begin to apologize. Here ia
where that Northern "advantage''
comes in. These stories are not
credited by any Northern man of
candid mind, and they want no ex-
PLANTATION or apology. The class of
Northern readers whom it effects,
growing smaller every day We are
glad to believe, never see the thousand
and one apologies aritten in the South,
and rouldn't believe or admit them II
they cere to. So our readers will per
ceive how utterly useless, not to say
disgusting and unrhanly, it 10 for Us
to whine around and attempt to apollo
gize for every public man We place iD
the field for Office.
Major E. A. Burke's candidacy does
not effect the Inter. Ocean nor it's
class. He suits the Democratic of
Louisiana, and il the North and their
Republican President. stealers don't
like him, they can lump it. Nay.
It renders E. A. Bnrke more dear and
popular with us all to find him the
subject for vituperation, abuse and
Islander Of the Inter. Ocean, Mat Wells
and the whole brood of scoundrels.
Nothing those fellows could SAY will
effect us--they are liars all; and for
Louisiana papers to "demsnd" that
Major Borke, a gentleman, an honest
man aud the standard bearer of the
Democracy Of our commonwealth.
should "at once explain" and ire
flute" charges made by them is sick
ening, and too cowardly to coutem.
plate.
Major Burke is entirely too bonors-
bic to stop and fondle every cur that
barks at bis heels, and life is too bu-
sy and short with him, to answer
every SANDER bis enemies, the eue-
mics of the manhood and virtue Of
the South may choose to propagate.
The Democracy of Louisiana nom,-
nate, constitute and appoint E. A.
burke their General, now, during, and
for the battle to be fought next No.
Vember, and We are responsible for
him to q man! If the Radicals don't
like him, 60 much the better; it only
goes to prove his honesty, which
wanted no such evidence. As for the
Inter. Ocean, all that honest people
have to do to be right is to do just
opposite to what it says and teaches.
This is our apology for Burke
Smoke it!

Abbeviile Literary Club.

Several years ago there was formed III
Abbeyille a literary club, more properly
q. reading club, whose purpose was at
small cost to provide its members with a
bountiful supply of periodical literature.
The club fourished vigorously for a year
or two.' The subscription money enabled
its numerous members to procure all the
American magazines and reviews, as
we'll as the best of those published in
Britain. Although much reduced in
numbers the club has continued to exist,
and its membership-roll at the beginning
of this year embraced, we understand,
Ave names. The past week, however, has
seen tbs. club ''re-organized," the num-
ber of its members largely increased, and
its sphere Of usefulness greatly %idencd.
A. number Of gentlemen met last
Wednesday afternoon and "The Able
Vile Literary Club was again launched,
and a new constitution and set of bylaws
framed for its guidance. 1t now numbers
tbirty-two members. clergymen, law
yers, and merchants and all have united to
make the club prosperous and pleasant.
In addition to the providing of good
reading. matter, it is proposed to hold
monthly meetings in the houses Of the
members, ut which essays will be read.
and followed by literary discussion. A
frugal supper will the better enable the
members to enjoy the monthly re-un-
ions. ' .
, The following are the names of the
officers elected: Rev. John Kersbaw,
president; B. S. Barnwell, vice-president;
M. p. DeBruhl. secretary and treasurer;
w. A., Templeton, Librarians; standing
committee on periodicals, w. c. Benet,
T.. w. Perrin, and w. A. Templeton I;
committee on essays and meetings, l.. w.
white. J.'T,' Robertson, and G. H. Scud-
day. Of tIose, the president and vice
president. are elected to serve for three
months; the others for twelve months. The
monthly meetings are for male mem
bers only. Ladies' can join the club US
reading members.
We 1sarn the first meeting OF the club
win be held IN Gen. McGOwan's house
on "t66 Friday before full moon" in
ApriL. TIE General Is the essayist for
that meeting and he will then read an es-
saw on hcfubSs." His fellow-members
will enjoy q literary treat.
The Legislature viii adjourn sine DIE
on Friday or Saturday.

The AbbcyilIc Democracy.

The readers Of the Press end Banner
will find in our columns this morning a
full account Of the proceedings OF the
County Democratic Club at its meeting
last Thursday. Delegates frons all the
local clubs met in tho Court House on
that day to re-orgnnize the County Club.
The first business transacted was the
clectinr OF officers, and the pleasant una
ninitv with which this important part OF
work was done proved that the Abbeville
democracy is strong in the strength OF
unity and concord, ami impaired to the
subsequent proceedings y GENIAL
ton and temper that were scarcely rui-
fled throughout the prolonged sedcrunt.
The election was characterized by 4 mark
ed absence of the oflice-Seeking spirit.
The new president vas elected by accla-
,nation, and for the minor Offices, scarce
IL any double nominations were MADE.
The retiring president and the president
elect both made admirable addresses in
which they counsellcd unity as the sure
guaranty of the democratic triumph thev
predicted. The sentiments uttered by
both were in unison with the feehngsand
desires of the convention and Of the AL
beville democracy.
The resolutions offered by one of the
delegates strongly supporting Governor
HAMPTON caused q little discussion, their
purporta and intention having been misap-
pretended. Some ardent advocates and
friends of Hampton, surprising the reso-
lutions were likely to do the Governor
injustice, st%rcnuously advocated the lay
ing them on the table. The discussion
on the champion Resolutions as they
were called, was really a friendly con-
test between two bands of Hampton's
best friends each jealousy anxious to u t.
strip the other in doing the Governor
honor. Those that offered most opposl-
ton to the passing of the resolutions were
actuated by only one motive-the desire
to protect Hampton's administration
from any injury even by implication.
AS soon. as the Misrepresentation was. re-
moved, as soon as it was seen that the
resolutions were intended to support
Hampton, to endorse his policy, and to
pledge him the undivided help Of the
Abbeville democracy, then the conven-
ton with complete unanimity voted for
the resolutions.
The rs campaign is now opened in
our county. The platform has only one
word in t-"Success." The result of the
meeting augurs we'll for the result of the
campaign. The president elected and the
resolutions passed are a pledge to all our
citizens, white and colored, that in seek
ing success in the next election the Able
Vile Democracy is seeking the good OF
the whole people. Under such leader
ship and with such controlling senti-
ments the campaign will be conducted
peacefully, fairly, and successfully.
