The Chairman of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the Second Congressional Dis
trict, having fully conferred, hy mad, with
members of the Committee, a« to the time'
**nd place for holding the Convention, finds
a Urge majority of them in favor of the place
hereinafter announced. Various days, from
July 28th to September lOtb, have beeu ad
vised by different members, no two of whom
have agreed. Yet all have desired, that the
Chairman should fix such time, as might
seem most nearly to accommodate the differ
ent opinion*. What a suitable com
promise time is, therefore announced :
The several counties of the District are
requested to send delegates to sit In Con
vention at Albany, at 12 o’clock, M. t
on Thursday, the 20lh of August next, to
nominate a candidate for Congress, and to
transact any.other appropriate business.'

Nothing remains now but a full exposure of
all persons connected with the criminal par
ties.
That such things should b« suppressed for
fear of injury to toe cause of religion is the
veriest cant. Mr. Beecher has performed as
well in hi? theatre through all the years of
his ministry, ns did our Booth or Forest or
any other actor—what more fitting end to a
sensational preacher than a grand tragedy ?
For there ia death in it. Death without a
hope of resurrection. Death to a name which
the glorious intellect, the deep culture, the
vigorous physique, the many manly traita,
and numerous virtues of the pastor of Ply
mouth Church, might but for his inordinate
vanity, beastly appetite and hypocracy.'have
been embalmed in the hearts of bis country:
men, a name of which the nation and the age
might well be proud. Bat das! “It might
have been."
As the case stands now, with all the in
formation that we have been able to elicit
from the testimony of those most nearly con?
eerned, it would seem that Tilton is the only
party who can be called successful.

martyrs—but we are not of them. Be has

Beecher is in a worse estate than either of

easiest reached. He has not even the glory

must have been made very clear for him.

CIVIL BIOliTS IN LOUISIANA.
According to the New Orleans Bulletin, it
.was quite needless for the government to
furnish agents to distribute its charity ra
tions to the sufferers from the overflow. A
Red river correspondent of that paper says .
“On Raccourcr Island last week as Mr. B.
F. Miles, who was acting ns distributing
agent, was issuing rations, the negroes came
armed with'guns and pistols, and coolly in
formed him lhat the rations were sent espe-r
cialiy for them, and they Intended to have
them even if they had to take them by force.
It is scarcely necessary to add that they
got them, or that the sufferers, white people,
had to starve m consequence of this high
handed outrage on the part of tho uegroes
who are represented by the Republican and
by the Chicago Inter-Ocean as the most
guileless, harmless, innocent and inoffen
sive-beings m Christendom.
It seems that this remarkable action on
the part of thb negroes was brought about
by the fact that there was an insufficient
supply of rations, and the fear that every
darkey would not get all he* wanted led them
to makfe an attack in force; winch enabled
them to gobble everything. These riotous
black, robbers are, our iraformanl learns,
armed with new Enfield rifles, of the exis
tence of which; no doubt, General Longstreel
and Mr. Kellogg know nothing.
That these arms are. nsed to overane the
supply agents is now a recognized fact, and
there would seem to be but one thing for the
white people to do, and that is to arm in op
position and defend themselves," since- Mr.
Kellogg would laugh at any call for assis
tance, even as he did in the Grant parish
affair. -
! Many of the negroes it seems draw rations
’for their horses aswell-as for themselves,'
and being supported in idleness, roam around
disdaining to work, bnt ever ready to talk ,
politics and engage in political squabbles. 1
Our correspondent says that from Texas
Landing to Simmsport the country has, been
badly overflowed, and many planters will.,
make but little corn or cotton. To add to
tbe trouble the horses and mules are dying
from that terrible scourge, charborn, many
having lost nine-tenths of their stock.
. Letter from Thomas County.
Thomas Co., July 27ih,*1874.
Col. Carey IY. Styles, Editor Albany News:
We have witnessed with pleasure the spirit
of liberally -which seems ; to pervade your
county,in regard to the coming candidate for
Congressional honors. Having furnished the
standard bearer in the last contest, (and a
nobler one than Gen. Wright never lived)
with becoming modesty, your county does
not (at any rate has not os yet,) pressed the
olaims of anv of her many gifted eons for
the nomination.* We have also heard with
pride from several of jour citizens a desire
expressed that Thomas county should furnish
the candidate; In this movement I notice
that Mitchell county joins; and it-is by way
of reply to several articles iu the Camilla
Enterprise upon this subject, that I desire a
abort space in your columns. That paper,
it seems, is an ardent admirer of Colt A. T.
McIntyre, of t his county, and thinks that no
oft in the District will make as good a race.
