Interesting Letter from Blanton Dnncan. friends: Geneva, May 13,1871. Hob. Baker. Ex-Governor of Lonisiena, Franklin, Pertab of St Mary, I*.: Mv Dear Sir : I perceive by the newspapers of the United States that the political caldron is begining to bo® and that many movements are being made in behalf of various dis- tutgoished men of our party. These evolutions are not devoid of interest to me. In so far as I may he able to assist in anything which can benefit the whole country, and especially en sure peace and prosi>erity for our section thereof, it is my duty as well as my highest pleasure, to Send all my energies thereto. You, as a de voted and energetic citizen of Louisi ana, will always do the Same. He JJelieving that ypu have not forgot ten'the; 5,rA ‘ noble and patriotic stand assumed by Gen. Hancock, v When, ib command of the South, he followed tie dictates of justice and dnty iji his attempt-to ameliorate the condition- of the citizens, and to make the military , subservient to the civil daw,. I write to suggest that Hancock • still alive and wiu he presented and urged for the position of our standard hearer, by his numerous warm and i zealous friends. The peculiar considerations which ought to make Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas come unitedly to his support are not alone the at- • tenq>ts upon his part to benefit the people of those States, but also the circumstances which have since oc- ? curred. He-has been ostracised as it were, for his boldness in braving the wishes of Gen. Grant, and for daring to have an opinion of his own, in which kindness of heart and magnan- J undus sympathy for the sufferings of our people formed not the least ’portion. ' " For your sakes, nay one might say for the whole South, martyred in so Tor as a just and proper acknowledge ment of his great merits and capaci ty are concerned, when assignments of military positions were made; it is • eminently proper, that your State I should be tne vanguard or the entire Sonth, rallying in nis behalf. What could be more proper, than to have the South SOLIDLY DEMANDING permission to name a Northern man, ' as the Democratic candidate, who could he elected? What could be more fitting, than the selection by tie South of a gallant soldier, who fought us’ as long as we could hold our weapons, and yet, when we were crushed and bleeding, was the first to step forward like a ministering angel,>t6 staunch our wounds and to anoint them with balsam, and to raise uB'from mental prostration by infus a ing hopes of just and generous treat- • ment m the future ? What more righteous retribution in the compen sations of life could there be, than to pit the warrior, who believes in the SUPREMACY OF CIVIL LAW, against that President, who has • again unsheathed his sword at the bidding of partisans, and who, in his willingness to crush our section of the country, may yet strive to ride into power by the complete subver sion of the lilierties of all ? There is but one leading question in the choice of the next Democratic Convention; TO SELECT THE STRONGEST CANDI- D.VTK. I have not a word to allege against any of the distinguished champions, who seek Hie honor of carrying our colors. But, in a crisis like tins, I deem it in cumbent upon every man, who has a might nave averted the dreadful vas salage which the Radical politicians, with an utter want of magnanimity, have now so long compelled us to en dure. It was not foreordained that our views should even have the priv ilege of essaying the peaceful battle. Our people, a minority of the United States, accepted or proffered the gage of battle. Those who urged action did not thoroughly understand the Northern mind, and that delusion was a fatal one which induced the be lief of a divided North, in a section al war. The present is a crisis in our fate, fully as vital as was that of 1860. And, again, I venture to plead for calm, well-considered and wise action. If we misunderstood the tone of Northern sentiment, the error that we may commit may destroy us as well as our friends in the North. There are men in the South who be lieve that our section will ultimately secure its former aseendancy in the councils of the nation. Iam not one of them. The laws of nature are ir resistible, and so are those of events. We might as soon expect to reverse the current of Niagara as to subvert the inevitable sequences of our war. There'should be no hesitation to pro claim our prompt acquiescence there in, and thus take away from subtle schemers their capital in trade, which is the constant DEFAMATION OF OUR PEOPLE and the uterly false construction of our views. To practical minds an act demonstrates far more than a thousand words. If, therefore, our people should say, “We waive all revolutionary attempts, though forced by the bayonet to accept many laws, we have, in good faith, enfranchised our former slaves, given them equal political rights, and propose to acqui esce in all legal enactments,” andif that should be followed up by pre senting to the North Gen. Hancock, a true and tried soldier and statesman, in whom they have every confidence, the result would not be doubtful. What good will it do to agitate past issues r The recent legislation of Congress for the purpose of FOMENTING DISTURBANCES or manufacturing them, and thus frightening a certain number of Con servative voters into the support of Gen. Grant, will be sufficient for his success, even without a resort to force or fraud in 1872, if wise action is not concerted in the South to check mate them. The Presidential contest is narrowed down to the control of less than two hundred thousand voters in the North, who will defeat us unless we unquivocally show them that there is no danger of disturbances from the South, and that our candidate is a man whom the North can confide in with more certainty than in Gen. Grant That Grant* is to be the opposing candidate is unquestionable. The last military bill rivets it beyond recall. Who can defeat Gen. Grant ? Only a military man, who can secure the votes of tens of thousands of former soldiers who voted for Grant in 1868; or a civilian, who from former Republican associations can secure the support of a portion of that party. The latter candidate is probably out of the question. If we present General Hancock to the Northern delegates in convention they will accept him, for the South ern States cast the majority (83) of the reliable Democratic electoral votes. He is probably the only Democrat whom we could select with a certainty of success. It is to our interest to drop of patriotism in his veins, to take any chances whatever, disced all personal considerations, The result in Connecticut ought to and to have an eye single to the des- open the eyes of every man who is tiny of the country, and the conse- not ^mfuliy blind. It proves the queuees which our -failnre in 1872 may entail; and more especially is tills compulsory on every Southern man. We absolutely require rest and peace and years of solid prosperity to regain what we have lost in the past ten years of war— TOR WE HAVE NOT YET HAD PEACE, nor is it likely to be vouchsafed to us, ao long as the bauble of power is with in the clutch of Radical ambition, or the rich, prizes of Southern El Dorados are to be attained by hun gry adventurers. In 1860 there were hundreds of thousands like me, who followed such leaders as Alex. H. Stephens in regard to the policy of the South. We be lieved that me battle for the Consti- proves compact organization and strength of the Radicals. We can win the game with ease, and ver we may throw it away by folly. Idle declamation and assertion will give us no strength. It is the conservative element of the North, now acting with the Radicals, which we must divert from them, or consent to let the elections for the next century go in the same smooth groove. Look at the figures. What States can we expect to carry with certain ty ? Alabama, 8; California, 5; Del aware, 3; Georgia, 8; Kentucky, 11; Maryland, 7; Missouri, 11; New York, 33; North Carolina, 10 ; Ore gon, 3; Tennessee, 10; Virginia, 10; West Virginia, 5—Total 124. But tution should have been fought in- to elect we require 159. Now, where aide of the Union, where we had the are we to get the others? Dealing Supreme Court to protect our inter-1 frankly with each other as business set, before ^partisan legislation had: men, we could discuss our chances in •tricken down our legitimate de- j doubtful States. Under the military fences; and where the thirty South- law just enacted we will be swindled earn Senators, by the aid of the North- and probably lose Arkansas, Florida, ern Democrats, could have foded the j Louisiana and Mississippi, which un- machinations of the Radicals. The j der a fair and legitimate vote are all majority overruled us and said that Democratic. We have therefore to the proper course was the Montgom- {fight the battle in Connecticut, 6; In- ery Congress and Government. Did diana, 13; Nevada, 3: New Jersey, 7; we, because of that, falter m our de- New Hampshire, 5; Texas, 6—in each votion to Southern interests? The I of which the change of a few hun dred votes will decide the result.— Three were Democratic and three Radical at the last election. And we have to contest the election with UNSCRUPULOUS OPPONENTS, who have all the plunder and all the power to back them. If we carry all of these States except Nevada or New Hampshire, we have just enough to elect. Will any honest man say that our chances to carry all but one would be a safe betting point ? And yet, if we lose two of them, or even one with six electoral votes, the elec tion is gone, unless we carry Pennsyl vania. With that State safe,, we could dispense with several of those enumerated above, and still win.— Now, I speak advisedly when I say that Pennsylvania Democrats will be a unit for Hancock—that her State Convention will instruct the delega tion to nominate him, and to cast her vote for him from the first ballot. I repeat, also, that Hancock can get twenty thousand votes in that State, which no other Democrat can. After onr Convention in 1868, distinguish ed Radicals in Washington did not conceal their joy from me that Han cock had not been nominated. They feared him and Chase alone, and one of the most distingushedpoliticians of Pennsylvania, who knows every nook and corner thereof, and has managed its political campaigns for years, can didly answered my demand for the truth, that “Hancock would have beaten Grant thirty thousand votes.” Shall the South ignore such facts ? Shall we turn away from the cer tainty that we can secure a reign of justice and affection, instead of one of oppression and hate ? That is all that we of the South can claim or ask; for with it would come that lasting peace, that brushing away of the clouds of misrepresentation and foul calumny, which to-day is the real barrier be tween the North and the South. And the negro race would no longer be stirred up by the adventurers, who seek to embitter their docile instru ments at any cost, so that rich, returns may flow unceasingly into their capa cious maws. The Ku-Klux bill, with all its enormities, would drop harm less to the ground, if—when orators attempted to raise the affrighted bris tles upon credulous bumpkins’ heads by recitals of Southern horrors and outrages—every Northern Democrat could reply, “And yet these people are supporting from preference our great soldier, Winfield Scott Han cock.” It would take the pith and marrow out of every lie concocted by the Radical press. For the South the stake is a great one. She has far more to lose than the North by the result of the next election. # And, as practical men, I place the issue before you and other friends in the South, whether it is not wise now to consult with each other, ascertain whether my asser tions and my figures are not correct, and be prepared to act hereafter with that unity of purpose, which alone gave our section its great strength in the past. • ^ ‘ I have taken the liberty, my dear sir, to address this letter to you, in the hope that yon will take steps to. bring the subject treated of in it, to the notice of the Southern people; partly because of my knowledge of your position in your State, and partly because I am certain that from your having been for some time con nected with Gen. Hancock in the ad ministration of the civil affairs of the State of Louisiana—while he was the commanner of the Fifth Milita- ey District—there is no one more competent than yourself to speak of the fitness of that gentleman for the station to which I would desire to. have him elevated by the suffrages of the law-abiding citizens of a const! tutional republic. Yours truly, Blanton Duncan. Missouri Radicals in Trouble. A Washington special to the Cou rier-Journal of the 24th, says: Gen. Isaac Shepherd, of St. Louis, chairman of the State Central Republi can Committee of Missouri, lias been in town for several days, in search of’ the Administration, and left for Long Branch to induce the President to remove Gen.- Smith, postmaster of St. Louis, and pro cure the appointment of M. Hilton in his stead. The demand for that change is based upon the refusal of postmaster Smith to the discharging of men of luke warm and conservative proclivities. Con gressman E&vens, of Springfield, Mo., feels no less aggrieved at Grant’s mani fest influence to a thorough overhauling of Federal office-holders within the State, and has repeatedly set forth elaborate memorials on the deplorable condition of the Radical party in Missouri, depicting its speedy disintegration unless certain changes are made. It is not improbable that Haven’s paper, the Springfield Pa triot, will soon come out against Grant. The Louisville Courier-Journal says: A disease they call spotted fe ver is killing many valuable horses in New York. If it should kill Dexter, and Dexter’s death should kill Bon ner, and Bonners death should kill the Ledger, and the death of the Led ger should paralyze the pens of Fanny Fern and Sylvanus Corncob, the glory of American literature would be at an’ end. For goodness’s sake let the vete rinary surgeons of New York spread themselves. The Democratic Congressional Com mittee is about to commence the dis tribution of Schurz’s speeches on San Domingo, the civil service and Tlie Tomb of JLee. A correspondent, in the course of a letter givingin detail the commence ment exercises at Washington-Lea College, Lexington, Virginia, last week (for which we find it impossible to make room), thus speaks of the tomb of General Lee: “Hundreds of people visited on yes terday the tomb of Lee, which is in the basement of Lee Chapel. The neat marble slab which covers the vault, the simple, inscription (‘Robert Edward Lee—Born January 18,1807 Died October k2th, 1870’), the rail ing of black walnut (the posts cap ped with marble), and the decorations of flowers, evergreens and immor telles, impressed every one with - the exceeding good taste* with which ev erything had been arranged. But we had opportunity on yesterday of judg ing what the tomb: will be when tne design of. the Memorial Association will be carried out. Valentine, the gifted young sculptor, had placed near the tpmb his model in plaster of the sarcophagus, which the Lee . Memo rial Association propose to place over the grave. It represents General Lee as asleep in his nightly bivouac beneath the stars, his military cloak around him, and one hand lightly resting upon the sword which lies at his side. The face is copied from the bust, which Valentine made just a few months before General Lee’s death, and which has been pronounced by fami ly and frieuds a speaking likeness. The picture is easy and graceful, just the position in which the old hero used to sleep, the couch on which it rests is inscribed with the coat of arms of Virginia, and other appro priate devices. “ In a word, the model is a grand triumph of art, and has elicited the most unbounded expressions of en thusiastic approval. When the plas ter shall have given place to the pure marble, and the plans of the Associa tion for remodeling the room shall have been carried out, it will be. a me morial worthy of the-great ’ chieftain, entitled to take rank with the finest similar works in the world, and will place the name of Edward Valentine along side of the great masters. The Executive Committee of the Memo rial Association have adopted the model, and directed its execution/'— Savannah Republican. The Louisiana Sugar Crop/ According to the third annual state ment of Mr. Bouchereau, just pub lished, the Louisiana crop of sugar produced last year was 144,381 hogs heads; weighing 168,378,592 pounds. This was a very large increase; but nevertheless the crop was below aver age to the acre, owing to unfavora ble weather. The yield of. molasses was over ten million gallons, an in crease of nearly 100 per cent, on the previous year. The successive sugar crops, since the war, have been as follows:' 1870, 144,381 hogsheads; 1869, 87,900; 1868, 84,256; 1867, 37,- 647; 1866, 41,000; 1865,15,000. The largest sugar crop ever produced was in 1861, when the crop footed up 469,510 hogsheads—unusually large, since the previous erop was only 228,758 hogsheads. The Picayune says the sugar crop is now re-estab- lisned on a solid basis, and for the current year will probably be 200,000 or 225,000 hogsheads. Many hun dreds of negro laborers have . been brought out from Tennessee, Virginia and the Carolinas, and no inconsid erable amount of white labor has been drawn into the cultivation of the cane. v- : • -* ; , Carious Jewish Case. A Chicago dispatch dated the 25th. instant says: A curious case will come before Jus tice Doggett for adjudication this week. The complainants are Elkin Hertsman, a Jewish Rabbi, and D. P. Reynolds, and the defendant is Thomas Wilkins, an Englishman and son of ! a Jewess, who has been married several years and has children. When young,-he declined to embrace,the Jewish faith, but recently announced his intention to do so. He consulted Rabbi Hertsman, and was in formed that if he would subscribe to the formula he would be admitted to a Jew ish synagogue. This he agreed to. This formula included circumcision of him self and son, aged six years, baptism of his wife, and then a re-marriage accord ing to the Jewish rites. Previously, Wilkins had agreed to pay all attendant expences, medical and ceremonial, but when the bill was, presented, amounting to $95, Wilkins pleaded poverty, and several members of the congregation proposed to make up the sum and pay the bill. Before doing so, it was discov ered that Wilkins was worth $10,000, and that he was about to dispose of his busi ness and go to England. The Rabbi, on learning these facts, instituted legal pro ceedings to recover the claim, and the trial will take place on Wednesday. *- •-* The Health of Mr. Colfax. A ’Washington dispatch of the 25th says A letter just received from Vice-Presi dent Colfax, dated South Bend, says, the doctors allow him to write two or three letters a day, instead of twenty or thirty. He adds : “I am leading here the laziest life possible, and looking back to the last dozen years, I wonder now that the blow did not fall earlier. Every biennial Con gressional canvass I made from seventy to one hundred and ten speeches and the interim between them was filled with public life with all its exacting dnties— lecttning, <fcc. My journies across the continent to the Rooky Mountains, “the only relaxation of the last half dozen years, postponed the evil day for me, A NewFeature in the Bowen Bigamy Case. The New York Herald's Washing ton correspondence of the 24th, has the following: Attorney General Akerman arrived here this evening, after an absence of some two weeks at his home in Georgia. He returns much invigorated in health. Owing to the influences which have been brought to bear, the first case .which he will take up for examination is .that. of Bowen, the tried and convicted bigamist. It is well known here that this case, as it at present stands, involves simply politi cal considerations. Until the sentence of the court was announced public sym pathy van all on one side. Since then developments have taken place which demonstrate that Bowen is the victim of political as well as personal persecution. The President, who has been approach ed in this matter, both by petition and personal communication, has referred everything to the Bureau of Justice, and has affirmed that in his actions he would be controlled by its recommendations.— Among Bowen’s frieuds there is strong apprehension that by reason of his prej udices the Attorney General will be in fluenced to decide against Bowen; but in the Attorney General’s department the opinion seems to be well founded that his recommendations will be entirely gov erned! both by the law and facts in' the case. .,' ; The New Loan a Failnre. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes on the 25th as follows: “The failure of the United States five per cent, loan in Europe has been a well ascertained fact for some time, which recent advices from the various agents of the Treasury Department simply continue to con firm. As .heretofore stated in these dispatches, the agents find the Euro pean markets stocked with first-class American six per cent, railway mort gages, which investors prefer to a five per cent. Government bond. In view of this condition of affairs, and in or der to creates demand for the loan, the statement is again revived that the Secretary of the Treasury will soon give the three months’ notice re quired by the sixth section of the Funding Act, and redeem on Novem ber first twenty millions of the five- twenties of 62’s held abroad. This notice is expected to hasten the con version of these bonds into new loan. As the coin balance of the Treasury shows a margin of about twenty mil lions above the amount actually re quired on hand, it is quite manifest that the Secretary will not be able to make very rapid progress in the re demption of two or three hundred millions of matured ^ve-twenties. The Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad. The war upon this railroad has kept things lively about Chattanooga for some time; but Stauton is the top dog in the fight, having won over all competitors. At one time it was thought all was up with him. Busteed had declared him and his company bankrupt and appointed men to take hold of the road and manage it un til further orders. But Judge Woods exercised the right to revise Busteed’s decision in the case and set it aside, returning the road to Stanton, who has resumed control of it and will put it into operation at once. We are somewhat inclined to side with Stanton in this matter. We think the prosecution against the company amounted almost to a per secution, and that, after the road had been finished so nearly to completion, over so many obstacles, Stanton should have been permitted to com plete the work. There is no doubt of his ability to complete the road, and when completed it will he in con dition to meet its liabilities without any undue sacrifice. Most men would have been intimi dated if subjected to the ordeal through which Stanton has passed; but stimulated by a strong will, coupled with some Yankee pertinaci ty, he has surmounted the obstacles that were in his way, and, all in pro bability, will soon be gliding along on the flood-tide of success. We rather admire the way in which he has .fought and won the battle. Certain ly he is entitled to a good deal of creditin'. • * Hettie Me E wen’s Flag. The Secretary has just received the flag made by Mrs. McEwen, which floated from her house while the city of Nashville, Tenn., was in possession of the rebels and was found still floating there when Gen. Buell’s Union army occupied the city. The flag will be placed in a room in the War Department containing several other flags of historical interest. General Sherman mentions in con versation that everywhere he went on his recent tour of inspection, he met with a warm reception from the peo ple, espeesally in Louisiana and Texas. The Governors of those States in formed him that peace and order therein would favorably contrast with any period previous to the late war. He found the army in good condi tion. . 3:<*('»«*» n » a >- revenue leform, in English a ml («or- w’ithiuy iumily the health Provideu/e ughti.a good cigar and a nice girl to mutt; throughout tlio u mtou i Las so kiudiy giyeu buck to me*” ‘ ‘ 11 j mg'betterin the summer than moon light,,!! g<»>d cigar and a nice girl to • talk to, with uo nonsense about her. — 1 ——————mm*mnggi telegraphic items.

The platform endorses heartily Grant’s ad ministration; demands the abrogation of the treaty with China, and favors a pro hibition of Chinese emigration. The BouUcell-Pleasonton Vnpleasatttarts.

Politicians are much interested at the result. More .iboul the Douticell-PIesanton .ItTalr. Washington, June 29. A special dispatch to the Louisville Ledger says there is the best authority for stating that the President has been considering for some time the difficulty between Pleasanton and Boutwell; and that "he has reached a conclusion, though for the present its announcement is de ferred. They say that the real question to be determined is, whether Pleasanton has generally administered the affairs of the Internal Revenue Bureau to the satisfaction of the country, and this ques tion they both answer in the negative. It is obvious that this is special plea on which General Pleasanton’s resignation, will be accepted, though Grant will adopt any such rule for his own course. Pleasau- fcon will possibly receive some unimpor tant foreign commission. The Treaty of Washington Signed. The Queen has certainly signed the treaty of Washington, and the documents left England on Saturday last. It will probably reach here by Tuesday or Wednesday. The copy signed by the President was sent out by General Shenckfor the British Government. Cost of Ku-Klux Committees. It is estimated that each Ku-Klux wit ness C03trthe country $250, and many of them much more, so that the temptation to visit the Capitol, at public cost, is suf ficient for wandering carpet baggers, vicious negroes, or low scalawags, who from the staple of those called here on the Radical side from the South. Over thirty thousand dollars has thus far been expended. Cost of Corean News. The Secretary of the Navy received from Admiral Roders, a dispatch that left Corea on the 23d inst, aud'was tele graphed from Shanghai via Hong Kong, Sangapore, Ceylon, Bombay and Suez. The dispatch contained 110 words and cost the Government three hundred and fifty-four dollars and forty-six cents. It will be seen that this dispatch makes no mention of the killed and wounded on board vessels of other nations. The Ad miral probably omitted reference to these in order to save tolls. The Navy Department has been in dai ly receipt of dispatches and letters from friends of the officers and men with ex pedition, inquiring as to the fate of their relatives or acquaintances. The Greenback. The aggregate resources of National B inks for the last quarter, amounted to $1,694,198,103. ttor the quarter ending June 10th, 1871, it is thought the amount will .be increased about $50,000,000— owing to increase in number of banks.
