sTREETs--HE DEFENDS HIS ACTION IN
CERTAIN MATTERS.
At Ninth and Lombard streets last even
ing Anthony Higgins, Esq, delivered a
somcw hat lengthy speech on local issues to
an audience composed of about an equal
number of whites and blacks. MIR. Higgins
speech was largely devoted to the assess
mont laws, In which he charged them with
being iniquitous and unjust and designed to
defraud the citizens of their right to vote.
He spoke of the conviction of Archibald
Given, the collector in the United States
Court, in proof Of this and detailed how
Messrs. Bayard, Whtcley and Gray con,
Quoted his defense. In conclusion he urged
his hearers to vote for Mr.. Hastings.
q. A. Elliott, Esq, in Il short speech
contrasted European and American labor
and A. N. sheppy made a short and nervous
address devoted TO abuse OF Senator Sauls-
bury, and of saying that the Democratic

He soon paid his respects to Mr.. Hastings
by taking up his sweeping assertion made
last Saturday night "let Europe have the
trade of the world, the United States would
have enough in her home trade" He asked
what would happen If America didn't send
her beef and grain to Europe' Europe
governs the price of grain. Give us but
home market and what will be done with
the surplus when Indiana alone can raise
enough corn TO supply the United States, and
Delaware alone can supply one-half of New
England? There never was more absurd
proposition uttered by any man than this
one of Mr.. Hastings. The speaker called to
| mind the time when the United States with
her guns shotted and pointed at China's
cities compelled her to give us a market.
This man would have us build Chinese
wall around our country The proposition
is worse than absurd-it Us wickediy SO. The
speaker characterized the proaoaition us one
OF prohibition, which will pie. mt you from
| buying and selling where you wans to.
A leading manufacturer of Massachusetts
In Congress. said he wanted duty SO high
that there can be no importation at all OF
| the articles he makes-just so does Mr..
| Hastings. The difference between the duty
| and what articles are sold at goes into the
| manufacturers pockets.
The speaker alluded to the attempt to
charge Know-N -Nothingism, etc., upon the
Democratic party and said N. b. Smithers,
| George p. Fisher and James II. Lofand, the
| Secretary of State under the only Know
| Nothing Governor Delaware ever had, were
all Know Nothings. They had passed the
Maine liquor law and Mr.. Smithers had
drawn it, He defended the uniform
! ballot law as necessary to stop
| bribery, corruption, coercion and intimida-
| ton. lie spoke of his course in Congress and
told how the Republicans had defeated his
bill for the relief of American ship build
ers. He spoke in biting terms of the lead
ership of the Republican party, and said II
a Harrington succeeds Salisbury, a Hast
ins, with high protective Dotious goes to
| Congress, and Fisher and Il Lotland sue
ceed to the judiciary, you and your children
may never see the disgrace wiped cff the fail
| name of the State.

TIE RIGHT OF CONQUEST.

MIR. Henry Skipwith, of East Felici-
ana, paid our city a visit during the
past week. On Tuesday last, he APP
peared before a called meeting of the
Police Jury Of this parish for the pur-
pose of procuring their assistance in
bringing before Congress the claim of
the Florida parishes for payment of
lands sold as public lands by the United
States, and which Mr.. Skipwith con-
tends was not the property of the gen.
eral government. His explanation to
the jury is to the effect that con the
ceding of Louisiana by France to the
United States, the grant did not in
clude the Florida parishes, said par
ishes at that time being Spanish terri
tory, and were taken possession Of by
Gen. Philemon Thomas, and that the
United States illegally disposed Of
these lands" Mr.. Skipwith contends
that the people of the parishes are the
legal owners Of the lands by the right
of conquest, the United States never
having acquired a national right to the
possession. The police jury, however,
postponed consideration of the matter
until their next regular meeting.-B.

:: MISTAKES OF ING ERSOLL. ,

For a copy Of the above k, Of
which Gen. Jas. n. Bethune is the au
thor, we are indebted to his son, James
\. Bethune, formerly Il citizen of Mon
roc, now living in Warrenton, Va,
where the General also resides. The
book is published at the New York
Bible House, is divided into thirty
chapters, covering $50 pages, and is
written in Gen. Bethune's terse, bold
style, of which the opening paragraph
may be taken as q fair specimen:
Coz. Robert G. Ingersoll proclaims
that he has discovered a multitude of
mistakes made by Moses. l will
prove upon him more and greater mis-
takes, than he charges, but does not
prove, upon Moses.
We submit also the closing paragraph
Of the Generals book, which explains
the character OF the labor performed,
about which we leave the author to
speak, not having had, as yet, the
time to give tho work n careful perusal:
Like Col. Ingersoll, l have given
you my honest thought as to his effort
to kill Off Il God of Creation. l have
in process of preparation another vol
umc, in which propose to consider Of
him in reference to the moral charac-
ter Of God, the Bible, and Christianity.

Ou:lchita Broom Guards.

We call especial attention to the adj
vcrtisement, in another column, of the
entertainment to be given by the ladies
of Grace Church on the evening OF
Wednesday, the eth inst.
Besides the promise of a rare musical
t:eat, the marked and brilliant feature
of the entertainment will be the first
public appearance of the Ouachita
Broom Guards-a regularly organized
company of young ladies, uniformed,
armed and equipped who have been
drilled constantly and assiduously dur
ing the past few weeks, and are now as
nearly perfect in the steps, marches
and manual as could be desir. d. This
drill is something new in Monroe, al
though it has attracted great attention
and applause in every portion of the
country where it has been presented.
So all come out to see the Ouachita
Guards, to hear the we'll selected music
to behold the lifc-like tableaux, and
finally to enjoy the elegant refresh
ments prepared by the ladies of our
city.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION At
DELTA.
{ Madison Journal

Tttc usual committee on credentials
was appointed, and on their retiring
recess was called. Upon the return of
the report of the credential committee
and upon its coming up for discussion,
Judge 1Iough arose and protested
against the adoption of the report; for
reason that most OF the delegates
credentials We're not signed by the
Presidents of the Parish Conventions.
lie said That such delegates repres-
scented no body but thcmselvcs-that
the Convention should abide by the
requirements of the call, that East
Carroll and Concorlia alone held pro-
per credentialS-that he didn't believe
in the manipulation that was going on
to obtain the nomination of AIcMillen.
lie thought he had pretty good
chance the evening before for the NOM
ination, himself, but since he had been
made aware of the underground work
OF the chair and manipulation going
on, that he knew his cause was weak
rning and his chances slim. lie pro-
tested against such action of the COM
nittce, as a river man and in the name
of Justice, honor and deceucy. Felt he
would not be bound by the action of
the convention. lie proposed that par
isles should hold meetings and elect
proper ueicGateS. trusted the people
would take Il lesson and not allow
themselves to be hoodwinked-that
those properly accredited delegates
from East Carroll and oncordia should
alone be entitled to seats. That he felt
he had been SGT dorm on and reprobatcd

The lion of the Republican COnven

were some other small fry, but
