a DEMOCRATIC S TA TE
\ CONVENTION.
rn FIRST DAY.
er BATON ROUGE, Monday, Oct. 6,1879
Is, At half-past 12 o'clock, Gov. Voo
or rhies, C¬hairman of the State Cental
Committee called the Convention to
ig order, after which he announced the
g Hon. Louis Texada, of Rapides as
temporary President. On assu ing
_the Presidency, Mr. Texada said in
P substance:
That the representatives of the
Democratic party of Louisiana, had
t assembled for the first time since the
rnle of the carpet-bagger had been
removed, at the place where the new
is Capitol was to be erected. Not only r
it the eyes of the State but those of the
entire Union were fixed upon their r
A deliberations. Fortunately the task t
a was an easy one. They were to choose t
the future Governor of Louisiana, be- I
tween two gentlemen of high charac
y ter, who were possessed of equal qual- 1
- ifications and patriotism. The world
t should know that the selection had
been made with the greatest fairness, I
and without even the semblance of
trickery. He thanked the Convention
I, for the honor that had been conferred t
d upon him, to preside over such a body.
g On motion of Mr. Jules Bonnafon,
of Orleans, Mr. F. Armant, of the 5th e
Ward of Orleans was elected tempo- 1
rary Secretary. C
Mr. Blanchard, of Cadd moved
t the appointment of a Comi ,ittee on
e Credentials to be composed of nine
members.
Mr. Lobdell, of West Baton Rouge, I
moved to amend by appointing two f
members from each Congressional
District and three from the State at
large.
Mr. Poche, of St. James, moved to y
lay the amendment on the table-car- C
ried.
And Mr. Blanchard's resolution was
adoptedl.
The Chairman requested that the a
friends of the two prominent candi- '
dates for Governor, Messrs. Wiltz and
Ogden, each send the names of four e
_ gentlemen to act on said Committee. C
In accordance therewith the Secre- 2
tary announced the Committee, com
posed as follows:
Mr. Blanchard, of Caddo, Chair- J
man. t
Mr. Thos. Vizard, of Orleans. T

amendment was not in order.
The Chair ruled the point of order a
well taken.

cess till 10 o'clock, and asked that the "

motion to adjourn had not been de- T
termined, owing to interruption, and
ordered the roll to be called on Mr. T
Robertson's motion.

on credentials appeared and asked for
further time, its chairman stating
that the parish of Plaquemine and

1 A WOMAN WHO FOUGHT BRAVELY
AT MAI4ABSAS.
Southern Intelligencor.
t ome time in the y'ear 1864 two of
our detectives came down to the Cas
a tle from Gen. Winder's office, having
in their charge a person dressed in
the uniform of a cavalry lieutenant of
the Confederate army, which looked
I as if it had seen service in the field.
SThe person was below the ordinary
a height of a man, was well formed,
i aud had the bearing of a soldier. He
was a good-looking man, and the
wonder was why he had been com
mitted -wihat offense was he charg
ed with t Very soon curiosity upon
this point was 'gratified. One of the
officers handed us a note from Gen.
Winder, which directed Capt. Alex
ander to take charge of "Liet. Hairy
Buford" and keep him in the Castle
auntil further orders. It further Inm
formed him that the said lieutenant
was a woman, who had been sent to
Richmond with no military offense
charged against her, but to wait until I
the Secretary of War, or the Presi- I
dent, should determine wht were
her rights in the army, and therefore,
that she should be given good apart
ments and all proper courtesy and
respect paid her. This intelligence,
as was natural, excited great surprise
amongst us at the Castle, for no oneto
could suspect from her appearance
and dress that she was any other thtan
a cavalry officer. We assigned her
to proper apartments among the wo
men prisoners, and all of them were t
astonished to see one of whom they t
supposed to be a man put in among I
them, and it was a source of much I
merriment with them when they found I
out she was a woman in man~s attire. i
Her presence amongst us in such un- a
usual garb for a woman to wear at a
once created a curiosity amongevery
bedy to know her history. I shall c
now tell it to my readers as I heard
it from Harry herself and from others t
who were conversant with it at the c
time.
At the outbreak of the war she was
living in the State of Arkansas, in
which State she was born. Before
the war she married a Northern man J
named Williams, who settled in that a
State, and had acquired considerable li
wealth. When hostilities commenced a
Mr. Williams left his home and joined I
the Federal army and fought on that t
side until he was killed in battle. I1
His wife, after his departure, deter- i
mined that she would join our forces, c
and getting together a sum of money, e
and donninug man's apparel, she pro- i
ceeded to Texas, where she assisted
in raising and equiping a cavalry I
company, of which she was appointed t4
first lieutenant, having declined the a
captainey, which had been offered to tI
her, because she preferred that some d
who was more skilled in military af- a
fairs should take the responsibilities (
of that position. When her company 1
was fully equipped it was mustered d
into service, and ordered to Virginia a
along with many of tihe Southern Ii
troops who came here during the first e
year of the war. Her regiment biv- a
vouacked for a time near Richmond, a
where it received all possible drilling Ii
the time afforded, when it was order- a
ed to Manassas, and arrived in time n
to be engaged in the first battle of n
Manassas, in which Lieut. Harry ti
fought with the skill and bravery of I
a veteran officer. She remained in h
Virginia for about a year, performing a
all the duties appertaining to her po- o
sition as an officer, and nobody during a
that time ever suspected that she was h
a woman, but thought her to be what ti
she looked to be-a brave, efficient c
officer." Her regiment then was re- tl
turned to the South, and was in ac- g
tion at the 'bttle f Si slolb: ". To
Lieut. Hari ' wounded,
-and 'wasleft'on tlhealdin the bland
of the enem : Tehere, for the.irst
time, the s..eon wh, eared for her,
wounds asertaned her sex and she
Swas sent to "New'Orieatl.aS.hbem.be
remained munde medlic' eattention
until her wounds were healed aad her
health was recovered. When she was
fully restored to health, she left New
Orleans and came up to the Confeid
erate army,`' near Corinth, .and re
quested to be reinstated in her eay
alrycopany.- The commanding gen
eral, who had learned then that-:she
was uncertain what tbdoe and refiIed
her request, and sent her under escort
to Richmond, that th Butliodtieshere
might decide the sr. And, in
deed, it seemed that they ea
much, puzzlei what to do .
iees as :wa tr hei r i,`.ee
for they allowed some months to s PaI
by before a conclusion was hed.
During that time she was iunder our
charge at the Castle. She wore her
uniform all the time, and although
she was good-natui aind amiable,
she chafed a good dea aether confine
ment, and somewhat indignant that
the Presidrnt or Secretary of War
did not send her back to her com
mand. She had committed no of
fense, she was charged with no crime,
and her only fault was that she waSa
woman who had had the independ
ence and the courage to step out of
the sphere i which her sex, it was
presumed, ought to fill, and had
played the role of a soldier in man's
attire. True, all said she had acted
the part she had assumed with fidel
ity, courage and efficiency, and she
thought it hard that she should be
cooped up in prison and not be pert
mitted to play it out to the end.
While she remained at the Castle full
liberty was given her to go about the
prison as she pleased, and we gave
her employment as clerk in the office
whenever her services as pensman
was needed. She was not allowed to
go out on the streets without being in
charge of an officer, becouse the ordi
nances of the city forbade a woman
in man's clothing going out in large
about the city. I recollect a conver
sation I had with my much-esteemed
and highly-respected friend, his honor,
Joe Mayo, about Lieut. Harty, which
1 will relate, as it was very charac
teristic of him.
Mr. Mayo, all of our older citizens
know, was a Virginianints. eti. cute.
[f He not only loved every inch of Vir
ginia's soil, but especially towards
Richmond, every fibre of his heart
1 clang to it with the strangest tenacity.
His whole being was interested in its
prosperity, and, as its Mayor, his
whole time and energy were devoted.
to the duty of having all of its ordi.
nanees carried out and obeyed. No
man ever lived in Richmond who had
g her interests more at heart, and no
man ever served her with more fideli
i ty and efficiency. For forty years he
was her Commonwealth's attorney
her member of the Legislature, and
her Mayor, and in every position of
trust and importance which she be
stowed upon him he met its require
ments with honor to himself and with
benefit to the city. During this long
period of public service no man ever
uttered a word against his integrity
e and honesty, and all accorded to him
ability and knowledge suitable to dis
charge well his publicduties.
Lieut. Harry wanted the privilege
of walking about the streets of Rich- a
Smond free and without being under
the charge of an officer. I told her it
Scould not be permitted, because if
I she were to be seen going about in
Smale attire the city police would ar
B rest her. One day meeting Mr.
, Mayo, I told him Harry's history, I
Sand said thlat, as she was in pnrison a
Sfor no crime, andhad been agood sol- l
dier, I thought it hard upon her that
she should not be allowed occasion- c
ally to walk about the streete, and 1
asked him if he would permit her to i
do so.
He threw himself upon his dignity, e
and replied: "You ought to know I
that would be in violation of law, and li
that I, as mayor of the city, cannot a
permit any infringement of its ordi- t
nances," I repiied: "That is true .
1but this is an exceptional case, and i
we are living in exceptional times,
.and I did not think any harm would o
accrue to anybody if the permisson d
were granted." He said: "My offi
cers must do their duty, and if Gen. f
Winder wanted any of his prisoners
to appear on the streets, in violation d
of the city orlinances, they must be a
under the charge one of his officers of d
my police would arrest them." il
And so the matter ended. 0
Mr. Mayo, from the beginning, was tl
jealous of Gen. Winder's authority ,
and, during the existence of martial C
law,.he fought against it until he fin- o
ally succeeded in establishing a clear tA
line of demarkation between the au- tA
thority the Generalcould exercise and tl
his powers as a'civil magistrate, and b
he never permitted that line to be n
crossed by the General without his
earnest protest it in behalf of the b
liberties of the people. h
Finally it was determined that a
Lieut. Harry should not be allowed l
to retain her commission as lieuten- .
ant and re-enter the army. When tl
this was told her she was greatly f
distressed, but shite requested that a
she should be sent down to Atlanta, tl
Georgia, where shite had friends. 8
This was done,and her career as a sol- c
dier was closed. Dressed in female e:
attire, she left the Castle for At- a
lanta. Some time afterwards I learn
ed that shte had married a Confeder
ate officer named Col. De Canlp, who a
was soon thereafter killed in battle. hi
In the fall of 1865 Mrs. De Canlp tt
came to Richmond, and she then told Il
me she was on her way to New York, u
where she had obtained employment i
to write for the press. This is the r
last time I have seen her, but not '
long since I saw a large book
written by her, containing a hiistory
of her life. Her later expenrience were
as chequered and romantic as those I
have narrated. She was married athird
time to a Spaniard in Central Ameri
ca, and with him traveled all through
that country and California. She
