most important to my District
and State, to which I have given
special attention:

Act to repeal test oath;
Act to give fair juries in U. s.
courts.
Act to prevent use OF .. S.

Act to establish Mississippi

gate the Mississippi River and

ment Of its navigation and to
prevent oyerfoWs. Applopria-
ton, $l75,OOO.

spent in securing for my district
those material advantages which
it so sadly needed, and which
had hitherto been denied it. I
believe the appropriations OBJ
tanned to give us mail facilities,
to open the paths of commerce,
to prevent epidemic diseases, and
to place us on the high road to n
renewed prosperity, will be found
adequate to any reasonable ex-
pectation in the present condition
of public affairs.
[ have had the honor to serve
on some important committees,
and to perform my part in dello-
erations Of great Importance, IN
a national, as we'll as a sectional
point of view, and I trust that
neither uetriment nor no DIS
credit will result to the Republic
or my State from any opinion,
argument, or act of mine.
The experience which [ have
gained ami list some personal en-
barassment and harassing cares,
and which I trust will not be
thrown away, wocld have to be
acquired by any successor OF mine,
at a most critical period OF our
history. There is no royal road
to knowledge, and the wisest of
your sons would have to serve
his novitiate in Congress like the
rest of US. It is easy in an as
pirant to indulge in large expec-
tations, and to make stupendous
promises OF what he will achieve
but the performance is more
difficult. Two years ago it
would have been thought quite
impossible to Dust a radical and
seat a Democrat tor the Fifth
Louisiana District. Now, it
seems to be in order to cross
question the incumbent, as to
why he has not moulded the &C.

gress, and controlled the patron

FELLow-Crr1zENs My friends

which / was elected in 1878. l

of my course in Congress, AMI
your friendly aid and support IN

me.
/ was called by the people Of
North Louisiana to become their
standard bearer at the blacklist
hour of our history, and while all
the appliances of Federal tyranny
and terrorism were In active
operation against our people. 1t
was the supreme moment of our
destiny, and I for one felt willing
to perish, if necessary, In leading
a forlorn hope. You remember
through what We passed. The
noble people of our district
proved equal to the situation
Their courage and endurance
rose above the perils of the hour,
and radical despotism and cor
ru2tion we're swept from Louisl-
ana. We were redeemed and set
free to enter on new career.
1 came to Washington in the
face Of threats and conspiracies
for my arrest aud condemnation
by the Federal Government, and
have made smooth the path to
be trodden by any one whom you
may choose in your wisdom to
elect. II another man shall have
the good fortune to replace me
in your confidence and suhrages,
he will at least have the satisfac-
ton OF entering upon his duties
with none to modest him." You
might find such an one who may
represent you with greater abil-
ity, but no one who will serve You
with greater zeal or more uu-
selfish and thorough devotion to
your interests and honor.
It has been the usual custom
OF the Democratic party to re-
elect q new member who has
proven not unworthy Of the trust
reposed in him. To refuse him
a denomination is virtually to
say that his constituents have
found him unfaithful or incompe-
tent. I therefore naturally feel
an honorable solicitude to secure
the endorsement Of my course BY
the heroic men who first called
me to the front, and who, at great
peril, elected me to my present
position.
Have I been recreant to my
trust? I challenge inquiry. My
heart has been single in its de-
votion to your welfare. Have
proved incompetent to the duties
devolved upon me? I offer th'
record Of my services as a reply
The first duty which deyolvet
upon me was to secure recogni
