A Protest.

At mass meeting of the Democracy
OF Calcasieu parish, held on the 5th
August, resolutions were adopted pro-
testing against the action of the late
convention at New Orleans in nomina-
ting candidate for Congress from the
Third Congressional District. The rea-
son urged for this step is, that the New
Orleans convention was irregularly con-
stItuted, inasmuch as majority of the
parishes had no accredited delegates to
the same. In consequence of this con-
dltion of things, the Hon. John S. Billiu,
OF Lafourche, who received the nomina-
ton, is requested to waive all claims to
the same, and submit his name to new
convention, properly constituted.
This is the only correct view of the
matter that can possibly be taken, and
we are i'll full accord with the action of
the Calcasieu Democracy. We cannot
expect to have harmony without fair
ness. The voice Of convention, not
constituted, should be regarded
as an absolute nullity.

GEN. Sheffnan's Letters to Gen,
Hancock.

| WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.--IIen Sherman has re-
FUSED, with some warmth, to authorize the pub
cation tst OF ms letters to Gen Hancock lie says
TO 70 assume the responsibility of such an act
IN. 7. Evening Post.
To say the least Of it, this is very sig
niicant refusal, and gives reason to sus-
pect that Gen. Sherman is guilty of trea-
sonable utterances Or some high-handed
proposition in his letters to Gen. Ham
cock in regard to the Presidential en-
brogio of 1876, which, il made public,
would dim if not damn his reputation
forever as gentleman and soldier. As
the N. 7. Sun pertinently remarks, if
Gen. Sherman's letters to Gen. Hancock,
written in December, 1876, contain moth
ing to the discredit Of the General of the
Army, why should he refuse the natural
and reasonable request that they be Civ
en- to the country7 If in December.
1876, during the electoral contest and
after Gen. Sherman had begun to mass
troops at Washington, Gen. Sherman
wrote nothing inconsistent with his duty
as General of the Army, or as citizen
Of the United States, why should he get
angry when asked to follow Gen. Han
cocks example Why should he appeal
to Gen. Hancock's instincts as gentle
man to prevent the publication of his
share in the correspondence Suppose
Gen. Hancock, instead Of writing as he
did to Gen. Sherman, had put treason
able sentiments on paper, or had impli-
Gated himself and others IN conspiracy
against the Constitution and the laws.
Under those circumstances it is conceiv-
able that Gen. Hancock would have de-
clined to permit the publication of his
letter, and that he would have mani
tested some warmth when approached
on the subject. Evidently something
rotten ON the part of Gen. Sherman un
derlies this affair.
St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1880-08-14

The manly letter of Hon. David Davis.
Of Illinois, setting forth his reasons for
supporting Gen. Hancock for the Presi-
dency, will be read with pleasure by all
who admire out=spoken candor and
independence. Judge Davis is United
States Senator from that State and
wields a large personal and political
influence. We may reasonably set down
Illinois for Hancock and English, when
such men as Judge Davis, and others
Of equal note from the Republican side
in that State, champion our cause.

Cotton Crop Reports.

AS general thing, throughout the
belt OF the cotton country, which com
prlscs Georgia, North and South Caro-
lima, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi.
Texas, Arkansas, lower Missouri, Louis
lana, Florida, ETC., the cotton crops
indicate fair average, and in some
chosen localities even better than ever
before. The report of the Galveston
Cotton Exchange, which applies exclu-
sively to Texas, represents also the
condition OF the crops in the other
States, without scarcely any variation,
hence we reproduce it for the benefit of
ouragrlcultural and commercial readers;

FROM PoINTE-AUX-LoUPs.-We had
an agreeable visit from Mr.. G.. Miller,
last Thursday evening, a resident of
Pointe-aux-Loups. He reports all quiet
and prosperous in his section, but en-
tirely too much rain. He corroborates
our statement, elsewhere made in this
Issue of the DEMOCRAT, in regard to the
condition Of the cotton crops in the par
isl. The best thing of all, however, re-
mains to be told about Mr.. Miller. It is
this: He paid his subscription to the
DEMOCRAT like gentleman, sound
Democrat, and true patriot. Who'll

1t there is an extra session of the

The internal revenue collections for
the past fiscal year amount to $1s1, $751;
900. This is considerably in excess Of
the amount fixed upon by Secretary

meet the current expenses Of sthe Gov
eminent and the payment of Interest On

Lake Charles must he lively town,

from the good reports given by the
Echo of that place. New buildings are

preparation made to meet the require
ments of an increased trade. The COM

All the department clerks at Wash
ington, and we suppose all the appoin-
tees of the Federal Government, from
country town and village postmasters up
to the highest grades, have been, or are
to be, assessed two per cent. on their
salaries or revenues toward the Repub-
lican campaign fund. This must be a
bitter pill for those of Democratic pro-
clivities to have to swallow. But it
can't be helped. They must either come
down with the cash or throw up the
snnnga.

court held In Cameron parish, not a
single tIuc bill was found by the Grand
Jury. It will be well to remember in
connection with this fact, that no

There's the grand secret! Abolish the
sale OF whiskey in all the parishes, and
a similar result would be attained.

Terrific Volcanic ERUPTION.

The long silent volcano known as the
tueso, in Guatamala, Central Ameri-
ca, broke out on the Goth of June with
terrific effect. 1t is thus described:
At3 A. NJ, June Goth, the volcano
Fuego suddenly became active, throw
ing out vast showers of fire and cinders.
with great darts of flame Shooting m
from $50 to 500 feet above the mouth Of
the crater The whole country to the
east and south was magniiicently illu-
minated, the wind driving the smoke to
the westward, and pilcd up a mass Of
nlack and lmpenetrabte gloom, At $40
4. NJ: two streams of lava could be seen
running down the sides Of the volcano.
one to the south and east, the other TO
lue westward. Dense masses Of steam
ana smoke rose from the courses of the
iava streams, as the shrubbe.y and
loilage were burned. Tho river Qua
calaIe rose suddenly. and it's waters
were quite warm. Fuego continued to
beleh great columns Of fire until davo
light, 10y which time the whole northern
horizon, looking from San Jose. was
dark with the smoke from the volcano.
The lava streams continued in view
until A. A. M, The first grand column
OF tire rose at least 500 feet in height,
solld and smooth, and then the top ex-
pandlng, opened out like an umbrella,
the sparks eoruscatins like those from a
brilliant rocke The pulsations of
tame during the first two hours of the
eruption We're about so seconds apart,
strong and regular. TeIegrams from
villages lying Ill the course Of the wind
from Fuego were received during the
day, showing that no damage had been
gone beyond shower of ashes, which
nave nave oeen carried to great distance.
The eruption was less active until at
Il p. NJ, July 1, a column of flame was
again visible, rising to Il height proba-
bly, of $50 feet or more. At the bour of
writing, Fuego smokes away steadily,

The ALLEGED Texan MOVEMENT
AGAINST MExIco.-A San Antonio spe-
cial says;
The movements of filibusters, styled
the army of occupation, at Austin,
Texas, are closely watched by Gen. Ord,
whose orders in regard to neutrality
laws are very strict. Mexicans are re-
ported to be also ready to give them
a warm reception. Gen Ord thinks there
is little in the movement. 1t was prob
ably lnaAglrated by German and En-
glish Influence in Mexico to interrupt
good feeling between the United States
and Mexico, and thus retard railroad
building, which would greatly endan-
ger their trade.
