WASHINGTON, April 16.-Senator Beck
continued his speech on the army bill.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1879-11-14

and his speech, which treated mostly
of Federal issues and finance, was re-
ceived with every evidence of delight
and appreciation. He is very Inn
pressive and eloquent speaker, and
fully deserves the encomiums which
have been lavished upon him for his
efforts in Congress in behalf of the
South, and especially of Louisiana.
The speech of Col. Fenner was a
very exhaustive and clear exposition
of the new constitution, and all those
who heard him will be able to vote in
telligently on that instrument, which
was drawn up with SO much care by
the convention.
Senator Jonas, always fav0rite
with a New Orleans audience, spoke at
length on national politics, and was
frequently applauded. For fuller re-
port of the meeting and speeches we
will refer our readers to the local col
umns.

the campaign, and sends greeting to
the country. =.

RINGS : RINGS!

lThibodaux Sentinel
I. We hear good deal of late about
rings. Democrats are reported saying
they cannot vote for Wiltz because he
is IN ring.
What has Wilt done? Has he
ever betrayed his people? Has he en-
riched himself off the taxes OF his con-
stituents? Has he proved himself
wanting in any position in which he
has ever been true to the rights of his
people, and the laws of his country ?
No, never, not once, and those who
oppose him cannot specify single in
stance In which he has not been true
to the interests of his people and the
prosperity of his State. How is it
with Beattie? Is he not in ring
composed of Ray, Anderson, Mad.
Wells, and the Custom House cOrmo-
rants: Is he not supported by them,
aided by them, and are not his only
supporters to be found in the party of
whom those plunderers and robbers of
the people of Louisiana are the head
and front? Rings, forsooth Refuse
to vote for Wilt because he is one of
a ring, and vote for Beattie whose only
support comes from notorious ring of
public plunderers, as Tom Anderson
and Mad. Wells. Great Heavens!
