tic Convention. Livery one of

The Lake Charles Echo-the only
paper thatever had a good word
to say for Acklen, comes out in
an eloquent orticle for the regular
nominee, repudia,ing emphaticil>
ly the boiling movement Of the
"greatly investigated" Acklen.
Mr.. Acklen and men of his cali
bre may learn one fact from bis
fate, and that is no matter how
high a position d man may reach.
that his constituents who are i'll
strumental in his elevation are
no: going to stand by him when
he strays from the path Of virtue
and morality, and attempts to fol
low roads that honorable and just
men cannot pursue.
Mr.. Acklen has labOred earnest
" and done much for the people
of tins District, but that cannot
be brought up Us an offset to his
conduct .and actions in Washing
ton that his duties as q member
of Congress did not require him to
do. He has not only brought dis
grace and political ruin upon him
self but has also caused the blush
of shame to mantle the cheeks of
bisconstltuents whenever his name
was mentioned as their rep1esen
tative in the halls Of congress.
Hints that were unmistakable and
plain were given him to let HIM
self down easily. He would not
take them, preferring to receive a
fall flat Oh his back. There let
him lie.

Contention of the Third Congres
siOnal Dietrict to the MEMORIALS
Of the District.
The undersigned. appointed n committee
to draft and isslle au address to the Demo.
cratic Conservative voters Of the Third
Congressional District Of Louisiana. sub
init the following:
On the tenth of April 1881, at the CITY of
New Orleans, IA congressional convention
Of the Third District regularly assembled
and Nominated the Hon. j. $: Billiu as De-
mocratic candidate for the Third Congress
sicual District.
OF tue district until the publication ,f n
pamphlet by Hon. J. II. Acklen, setting
forth certain alleged irregularities in the
manner OF electiug delegates to the con-
ventlon and Others of Il kindred character.
Owing to an alleged dissatisfaction in
certain quarters, arising from the afor -saiI
irregularities, the chairman of the con-
gressiOnal committee, Han. X. n. Sims. ia
sued a call for II meeting Of his committees
at New Orleans, August 9, 1880. Both Gen.
Bllliu, the nominee, and Mr.. Acklen were
present.
Gen. l;illiu, relinquished his claim to the
nomination tor the sake Of Cancellation, and
declared his willingness to abide by the ac-
ton of another convention.
The committee issued u call for another
convention Of delegates regularly elected
by the respective parishes composing the
district to be held at Morgan City on Sep
TENDER ii, 1880.
At the time and place appointed a full
delegation from all the parishes asse mbled,
and the convention was called to order at
| > II M at Whitman Hall INV How Al
! Sims, who called for the roll of the parish
| es to be made up from the credentials of
the delegates by his secretary, Mr.. z. Four
net. Some discussion then ensued as to
whether parishes should be called where
there were contests.
The chairman ruled that he would direct
the secretary to call all parishes entitled to
! representation On q prima facic case Z; that
this decision was, however, not final, but
subject to revision by direct appeal to the
convention and to the subsequent action of
the committee or credentials.
In this ruling Of the chairman the conven
ton acYuiesced.
There were three parishes where there
were contrasting delegations Iberia, La
fayette and st. Mary.
The chairman announced that he would
admit Iberia on a whole vote on the Gre
dentials of A, Z. Barnard. Wan. NJ. Richard

Beauxier, E. +. Dugas, c. +. Cade, X. s.
Perry, j. A. Brean, j. A. Dereouen, and
that st. Mary and Lafayette were entitled
to yeats Oh a half vote each.
Not a voice was raised against the action
of the chair.
Hon. Clay KuObloch and Hon. w. w.
Pugh were then placed in nomination for
the temporary craftsmanship, with the fol-
lowing result:

At this stage Of the voting, and when the
parish of Lafayette was called. a contest
ing delegate offered to cast its six votes for
Pugh. The chair ruled this inadmnssible.
Another contesti',g delegate from the same
parish protested against the ruling on the
GROUND that II majority Of tue people had
voted tor his delegation.
The contesting delegation from Lafayette,
Iberia and St. Nary, with the regular dele
cations from Calcasieu. Cameron and St.
Martin, with four regular delegates from
Ascension, immediately withdrew from the
convention "a Terrebonne delegate waiting

1.-The n. o. States raises an
other howl about the calling of
an extra session of the Legisla-
ture, contending that Gautreaux's
defalcatiOn furnishes ample
grounds for the assembling of
the Legislature to grant a new
charter and new officers for the
City. Well, All election for city
officers is soon to take place. Let
them elect honest men to fill the
chairs OF Office. Why did New
Orleans elect a boy from Bayou
Lafourche to one Of it's MOST im
portant offices, when there was
plenty of old residents of New
Orleans, tiled and true men, who
should have been selected to
snch a position instead of a boy
from the country who could not
have secured 20 votes for any of.
flee on earth in the Parish in
which be was raised.
Suppose the Legislature meets
and passes a new charter, will it
make things better When the
citizens will not register and take
enough interest in elections to
elect honest men, will not the
same kind of candidates be chosen
under u new charter as have been
chosen heretofore p?
Let the honorable, honest aud
tried citizens of New Orleans
exhibit some spirit in the manage
meut OF city affairs, then we in
the country might say, ''call an
extra session.

A New County.

Pennington county, extending from
the channel of the Cheyenne river to
the Wyoming boundary line, is nearly
n hundred miles in length and only
twenty. miles. wide, the ~forty-foarth
parallel running through its center.
When the present boundary lines were
established, in 1877, the county was III
most uninhabited and it was necessary
to embrace a large area of territory In
the county organization. This is the
rule III all new countries; but AS popula-
ton increases new counties must be cs-
for the convenience of the
people. The time is come when the in.
terests of the people require a division
of Pennington county. Our mining in
tereSts are all on one side of a line drawn
through the center of the county, north
and south. and the stock and farming
regions on the other. such a division
would suggest itself us the most natural
and convenient to many of III citizens.
Pennington county has territory enough
for three large counties and the interests
of all concerned would best he attained
by dividing it this winter, at, or nea
Pactola, and leaving the eastern part,
which would embrace a territory Of
twenty by sixty or seventy miles, to be
changed and adjusted when the inter
ests of that section demand it..
But the people of Rockford, Altamine,
Sitting Bull, Tigeryills, Queen Bee and
other mining camps in the western part
of the county, constituting more than
of its population, demand
division; and every honorable and fair
minded man iii Pennington county is
disposed to grant it. Rapid City will al
ways remain the county scat, and it is
much to ask that our people shall
bear the pecuniary burdens involved in
serving as jurors and witnesses, in pros
and defending law suits, and in
transaCting all the business required by
law to he done at the county seat, while
it is further distant and less accessible
than the county seats Of Lawrence or
