Of this distinguished honor than Mr.. Black
burn, and certainly the great responsibilities
and powers Of the position could not be placed
In safer hands. In thus preferring Mr.. Black
burn we do not wish to be understood as
disparaglng any one else, but we believe
that his claims are the first to be considered,
not only for what he has DONE but
chiefly for the absolute confidence with which
all men can rely on what he will do. whatever
the emergency in which he may be called
upon to act.
He is bold, vigorous, uneompromising
and thoroughly reliable Democrat, and the
party cannot afford at such a juncture as the
present to entrust the highest and most influ-
entail political position In It's gift to man
who Is deficient in any OF these qualities We
do not know q man who possesses them all

Kentuekian of whom we are speaking. We
bespeak for him a hearty support from the

able TO reach home In time to vote. The gen.
tlemen now on trial, both from Natchitoches
and Tensas, will be unable to take any active
part In the present important canvass.
Bad as this showing Is for the government
officers prosecuting these cases, all of whom
are members of the Republican party, which
is largely interested In keeping these gentle
men away from their homes just now, that
presented by the case Of the Caddo prisoners
Is even worse. They are not only de-
barred Of all participation In the can
vass. but 1t will be matter OF
impossibility for them to vote at all. They
are among the most active and influential
workers In the Umocractic party In their
parish, parish which sends three delegates
to the convention. Their presence is badly
needed at home by their party friends while
their absence Is as much desired by their
political enemies Has the district attorney
pandered to the latter In setting these cases
for trial?
The Caddo prisoners were compelled to APP
pear In this city by the twenty-sixth instant,
fully two weeks before their cases can be
heard, and perhaps longer time will elapse
before they are placed on trial. They are re-
uulred to remain here at heavy expense,
awaiting the conclusion Of the other political
cases. There Is no reason for this, except 1t
be Ia the political exigencies Of the party to
which the courts before which they are to be
arraigned, and all Its officers, belong. No
other cause can be assigned for their deten-
ton. There Is every reason to believe
that this Is the object OF the prose-
cution. The evidence thus far taken in
the Natchitoches cases goes to prove that the
purpose OF the government officers Is not the
enforcement of the law. Nothing has been
shown to prove that the law has been vio-
lated.
All the indications go to establish con-
spiraey against these men and the Demo-
cratic party. The time fixed for the trials,
the character of the testimony. the apimus
displayed by the government officers, show
that the interests of the Republican party In
Natchitoches, Tensas and Caddo Is being sub
served at the expense of innocent men, and
the power of the government is being used,
not In the interest Of justice and the vindica-
tion of the law, but for the repression of pub
lie sentiment In those parishes and the de-
struction Of the Democratic party.
The election laws may prove potent in the
hands OF these partisan officials to deprive
the gentlemen now on trial from taking part
in the invention canvass and prevent them
from exercising their constitutional privilege
of voting; but they are impotent to secure q
Republican majority in the parishes named.
The people are determined to avenge the
wrongs of their fellow citizens in the only
way by which the conspirators can be affect
ed. They intend to defeat their purpose and
vindicate the result of the November election.

THE VIEWS OF DELEGATES.

Judge j. ID. Watkins. Of Webster nomi-
mated by the Democracy of that parish few
days ago for the constitutional convention
which nomination Ia equivalent to an election
has expressed, at length, his views on the
subject of the State debt, one of the most i'm
portant questions that will come up before
the constitutional convention for discussion
and settlement. Judge Watkins legal ability
will doubtless make him influential In the
convention; and his views, therefore, on this
subject, representing, as they do at the same
time, the sentiment of that portion of the
State from which he comes. are of general
public interest, as showi ng the probable &C
ton that the convent on will take In this
matter
The Judge announces that he is not repu-
'diationist In any sense Of the words OPP
posed to any attempt to free the State from
any Of It's legal indebtedness. He is not will
ing, however, to pay any fraudulent portion
of the debt, and, for this reason, favors an in
vestigatlon of our large debt-how it was
created. and what portion of it was not hon
.estly contracted. He thinks, further, that
seven per cent interest Is much too large and
that the interest, therefore, should be reduced
he feels sure, could easily be convinced of the
necessity for such reduction. The State OF
Louisiana is not able to pay this interest.
Show this to its creditors, as any person In
debt would do, and acknowledge its willing
ness to pay what it can. The bondholders of
Virginia have consented to a reduction of the
interest on their bonds to four per cent, and
the bondholders Of Louisiana. Judge Wat
kins thinks, would consent to the same IL 1t
was demanded OF them.
The Hon. Hiram j. Lott, OF West Carroll,
who has also just been selected 40 Demo
cratic nominee for delegate TO the constitu-
tional convention, places himself on record
as entertaining the same views on the sub
iect of the State debt as Judge Watkins-a
thorough investigation, throwing out of all
that portion of the debt that Is fraudulent,
and reduction of the interest on the bonds
Such were the views OF the mass meeting
held in West Carroll that nominated Mr..
Lott, and which he will support in the con-
vention.
Thus, from two entirely different sections
OF the state, come these two leading and influ-
entlal gentlemen, with almost exactly the
same views on the way In which the State
debt should be treated. Their nomination
shows conclusively the popular sentiment on
this subject in the country par,shaa
