-~- I Naw On.ianes, Ootober 3, 1877. Editor Democrat-I hand you the en closed letter, because it contains a sug gtlion of public interest. It would be SWell for us to consider all means sug tor the good of Louisiana. By blishing the communication here Wth the question of a convention upon txAgration would be discussed, and lead, perhaps, to favorable results. As sgw engaged, I cannot do more than give the matter to the public, and ask the views of those who have given more S ttentlon to the subject than your obe Sdent servant. T. ToUpvP . N.EW ORLEANS, October 3, 1877. Major T. Tapper, New Orleans: Dear Bir-As one who understands Sand takes a deep interest in the devel -oment of the resources of the State, I eseire to confer with you and to get your ' Opinion upon the four subjects which .asetn to attract universal attention. L There are, as I oeaosive, four great, .r neeoral and vital enterprises which Srook to the development of the re "` > 4ources of Louisiana, in each one of 4 bhich every citizen is directlygnterest i 4dL-levees, immigration, railroads, tal service. I place them in the gder of their present importance, but I U7 means wish you to understand S t I do not think that they are in per accord and can all be urged to a . aosessful completion simultaneously. W. e must first redeem the lands before i can settle immigrants, and we must ya ve population and development of our resources to sustain Iatlroads, and when these are accomplished an exten ive postal service will be a necessity Which will force itself upon us. 'the levee interest was begun and pro ;: nloted by repeated conventions originat 1·g In the individual interests of our p ePle, As a result of the deliberations workings of those conventions tere is a bill now before the Congress Sthe United States asking aid in the ding of the levees. he next question of immediate im .o*zance to the people of this state is Sho to develop our lands, and after -- -twelve years of experience the conclu neloa is arrived at that the only certain iA -y is to introduce into our State large Stumbers of industrious people, who in a JW, years, and with but little money, il convert our swamps into beautiful *4el teeming with the staples of our @umtry. The railroad interest is S.alrteady before Congress, while the psetal service has excited suffiioent Mentrest in the general public to make $ a success. There remains then the s mmigration interest to be vitalized. I suggest for your consideration that tImm]gration convention be called to S in New Orleans on Tuesday, October .. 1877, to take into consideration this Important question, and to make such . uggestions to the Legislature of the .ltte as will procure the passage of auch an act as will invite, encourage and foster immigration from the whole world to the rich and productive lands of Louisiana. The convention to be Somposed of two delegates for every Senator and Representative from each sr..sh, and three delegates from the b.a.mber of Commerce, three from the V .lton Exchange, three from the Mer oha ts' Exchange, and five to be ap o ited by the Mayor of the city of Zew Orleans. Thus, it seems to me, a .onvention would be a fair represents body of all the interests involved, t the same time would be suil ty large tO have the subject prop and fairly discussed. ?.r'rlite you for the purpose of having r`s in.terchange of views on this all-im t subject, and for the purpose of ý' ·btt g about concert of aotion on the a. ~rt ot our people, if, in your opinion, . t can be done by the plan proposed. V r . y truly, Tonms GIBsoN. - "e A IBITOTY OF LOUIslANA. Nrw OnRLnAxs, October 3, 1877. Editor Democrat-What a valuable }ad interesting work would be a correct s tuecoinot isitory of Louisiana from tL discovery of the Mississippi up to i the inauguration of Gov.. Nicholls Tiere is no such. work. No man has re acorded the principle events of historic " interest giving their dates and descrip S"tion reliablU, failltCflly and inri-iingly. We have portions of Louisiana's his tory-fragments are wanting, as of the Indian potery, found in many places. almost enough to make a plot; some of tihe parts are lost forever. This we say of Louisiana's history in 1877. Shall the same language apply an hundred isars hence, a thousand years hence? Let us hope not, and provide against it. Then Louisiana should have an historian, a capable writer who would set down consecutively all facts that make up her history, clothe them in plain, pure English, give them the company of the scientific, mechanical and agricultural progress of their day, record with them biographical sketches of her most worthy sons and daughters, even those in the private walks of life. Pass such a work, well begun on-on on to the teeming millions yet unborn; they will prize it; they will thank us for it; they will be benefited by it, as with a rich legacy, and they will add to it for those who come after them. Our State can elect, or our Governor by authority (to be in him vested through an act of our General Assem bly at its approaching session), can ap point our Herotodus, and set him at work to write up our history as it is made, and connecting the links of the broken chain of the past. Such a his tory, embracing the period of our State administration, would make a sizeable volume. Its market value (a work written by authority, and certified to under the seal of State), would compen sate writer and publisher; and the po sition, at once, one of honor and re aponstibility, would tempt talent and be some reward for labor per se not labor tous. Second this Mr. Editor. We want to transmit to posterity the only thing that can be passed down to them-the one i, mperishable-our history, correctly and faithfully. We wish to tell them of our sufferings and trials and hero ism. We want an historian to tell of the dark days of Louisiana, when car pet-baggers, vampires, scalawags and -aitthroats almost consumed her. We want a historian to write in gilded let ters of her redemption at the hands of dead and living heroes, and of her pro pitious start on the course of prosperity .iand happiness for her people under her 'own Governor, Francis T. Nicholls. INDEX. Pearl sanpana. Ask for Soapna and you will get the best soap.
