of the Hancock Committee as
adopted il. New Orleanes a few
days since:
In assuming the initiative
where we have so long follow
ed, in the matter of the chvos-
ing a standard bearer, it is
deemed proper that the consid-
erations which impelltd to this
course should be made known.
Tne convention assemblies to
choose our presi dental candid
ate earlier than usual. While
the Republicans, drilled and
diciplined under executive pat
ronage and government pay,
hold continued caucus on party
men and measures, the Dentoc-
racy have scarcely quoted the
rivalries and chickering's of for
mer campaigns ON the very eve
OF the most mOmentOus strug-
gle America has ever presented.
The South feels that some
thing must he done quickly to
heal the dissensious of political
rivals in States heretofore al
ways in the lead, and to strike a
chord Of enthusiasm and conf
dence that will unite all patri-
otto and true men in a struggle
to restore our party and rescue
our imperrile l liberties.
In every department Of the
administration of the govern
ment, the Republican party
have sanctioned encroachments
upon the individual rights of
citizens and States, and have
striven to substitute official dis
erection for constitutional limits
Of authority. There can be no
sure indication OF the approach
ing overthrow of the liberties of
the people and the union of the
States, than the tendency to-
wards usurpation of power by
the courts and the Executive,
and the open threat Of military
methods suggested in the cry
for a strong government.
The Democracy Of the South
know OF no shield so potent for
the protection OF the liberties
OF the people and the union OF
the States as the brave heart
and clear intelligence OF that
upright patriot and gallant sol
der who, when entrusted with
the power that makes tyrants
Of bad men, protested that the
only guarantee for the nations
hopes was in the subordination
Of the military to the civil pow
cr! Corruption, nepotisn, de-
bauchery in high places, out
RACES on individual rights and
the plundering Of States have
came with military methods
and Republican usuraptions.
We tender to the country a re-
turn t.: the simple faith of our
fathers. We present Il Union
soldier without reproach-a
general in the field, in peace a
statesman and q patriot. We
present a name without a spot
or faint, which will give conf
dcnce and security to all inter
ests and all sections. or calm
judg2L lent and wise foresight,
the name of Gen. w. S. Han
cock will kindie enthusiasm
throughout the length and
bread IN Of the country, and
with the enthusiasm will go the
conviction that his election can
never be evaded or set aside by
Republican trickery or Repub-
lican buster.
Democracy means protection
to the rights of the people, pro-
lection to material interests,
economy in government, official
responsibility to the law, and
permanence and power in the
national government based up
on the integrity and inviolabil-
ity of local self-government.
The South places its trust in
Gen. w. S. Hancock as the one
statesman who will enforce

On Saturday March Goth
our House of Representatives
having no other important 1a,v
on the Calender took up the
Sunday Lac, the full text of
which will be fonnd in another
column. This might be very
appropriate in the state of
Blaine, but certainly will not
do for Cosmopolitan Louisiana.
TO divert the pious intentions
Of the members, Representative
Kavanagh presented the fol-
lowing privileged resolution
14-13-15. Whereas many
Of the employees and several
members Of this House are oc-
cupying their time in attempt
ing to solve a certain puzzle
problem, greatly to the detri-
ment of public business,
Therefore be 1t Resolred, That
no puzzle game be allowed to
be carried on during the session
of the House, and any member
or employee so offending shall
be considered in contempt of
the House."
The resolution went over I'M

The Maine imbroglio is at last ended.
The Fusionists have submitted to Repub-
lcan domination, and yielded their
offices under protests, which will not
avail them anything. The Fusion Sec
retary of State, P. A. Sawyer, on last
Saturday gave up all the State property
in his possession to the Republican Sec
retary of State, practically ending the
contest for the possession of the State
government. The country is not further
interested in the termination of the con-
test between the contending parties 9TH
erwise than as it illustrates the determi-
nation of the Republicans to continue
to hold the States they now have at all
hazards without any regard to constitu-
tions, laws, or the will of the people. a
partisan Electoral Commission made q
President of the United States, ignoring
all the proof of bribery, corruption,
fraud and false returns, and against the
will of near 100000 of the voters of the
whole country, under the plea that the
defeated candidate had been counted IN
ander the forms of law, and the partisan
Supreme Court of Maine hiss set aside
the Executive and Legislative depart
ment of the State government, elected
according to the forms of law, and es-
tablished others in their places, on the
ground that they received majority of
the popular vote.

ASr1-JEwrsH WAR IN GERMANY

ASr1-JEwrsH WAR IN GERMANY
A terrible press war is raging in Germa-
nv between the Jews and Christians,
and the Crown Prince has taken occasion
to appear at charitable meeting to testi-
fy his sympathy With the Jews under
the tempest of hostility which is beating
on them. n The Jews are
opposed because they are dangerous
competitors in the different departments
of business. Their diligence, quickness,
sobriety and thrift make them difficult to
overcome, and Christians, who have not,
in the same degree, their good qualities,
expect to make things even by old-fash-
ioned blows and knocks. Without the
Jews 10 country would be rs rich
in art or literature, not to speak of ma
terial wealth, as it now is. They fit a
place that no other race is ready to
I'LL, and we shall be surprised if the ef-
feet of the agitation in Germany is not
to bring out in stronger relief their higher
qualities, and to demonstrate more clearly
than ever the important part they play
in the economy of the Universe. The
Anti-Jews have undertaken hopeless
task, unworthy of Christians and a re-
proach to civilization.-Charleston Ne,cs
and Courier.

SOME THINGS NOT TO BELIEVE
When a man advertises for partner,
and wishes young man to put in small
investment of one hundred to five hum
dred dollars, and promises him realiza-
tion of fifty or one hundred per cent. profit,
don't believe it. When a man offers to
give gold watches or jewelry worth fifty
to Que hundred dollars for only one dollar,
don't believe it. When a man offers to
give away knowledge of utmost value for
the cure of consumption, and any and all
diseases, by merely sending three cent
stamp to prepay postage, don't believe it.
When q mau proposes 10 do his utmost
to make every one else rich, and looks to
other peoples interests more than his own,
don't believe it. When man offers to
give you something of great value for
something ofa less value; in other words
to give you something for nothing, don't
believe it. Many persons advertise on
purpose to filch young men of money
gained by hard labor, and before entering
into any speculation which may be offered
you, take advantage of the many means
at your command and ascertain the facts
with reference to the proposed business,
before you invest and thus save your
money and assist in effectually breaking
up ali the swindling establishments.

We publish this week the letter Of
Hon. J. G. Haskell to the Abbeville Me-
di,us on the subject of the Hampton
Gary controversy, and also what Gen.
Gary said to reporter of the NeTs and
Courier concerning the said letter. We
regret this heated controversy. 1t can
not strengthen the Democratic party for
the important contest of the present year,
but tends to divide and weaken it, and
that, too, at time when all the resources
of the party are needed to rescue the
Federal government from the control OF
the consolidationists and 10 prevent the
State government from again falling into
the hands of the Republicans.

Gen. Gary expressed his sympathy for
Gen. Hampton in the recent afhiction
which had befallen him, and said that if
Col. Haskell could afford to select such
an occasion to assault him, he could see
no reason why he should be expected to
remain silent.
At the conclusion of the interview the
daily papers were brought in containing
a sensational telegram to the Associated
Press mentioning the probability of a
personal encounter as the result of the
Haskell letter. Upon reading this Gen.
Gary made some forcible remarks about
interviews and newspapers, which do
not feel called upon to report:
