W. ROBERTSTON, OF EAST BATON ROUGE. Heretofore it has been our custom, in common with that of other journals of this city, to publish on the first of September an annual statement of the commerce of New Orleans. when that (lay rolled around this year, the ravages of the fever had become fully developed, business was paralyzed, and mall communication with our friends In the Interior almost entirely stopped by qluarantine restrictions. Under these adverse circumstances we deemed it expedient to postpone the publication of our annual statement to a timno wh4en the fever should have subsided and mail communication sufficiently restored to enable us to deliver the 1)EMORnA'J' to our numerous subsorlbers in the country, as well as to the correspondents of our advertising friends and patrons.

We take pleasure in announcing that so soon as the much longed-for black frost shall make its appearance and lower the crest of the knight with the yellow plume, we design publishing a lomg, complete and exhaustive report of the commerce of New Orleans from Beptember 1, 1877, up to date. On that occaslon we will issue one of the largest editions ever sent forth from a newspaper oflice in Now Orleans, and we specially direct the attention of our advertising friends to this announcement. It is a well known fact that never before were stocks of produce and merchandise at the South (in the interior) so low as at the present time. When the cause of the interruption of business is removed there will necessarily be a great demand for goods of all kinds, and Now Orleans will naturally be the great source of supply -the commercial Mecca to which the country merchants and planters will bend their steps for the replenishment of their empty stores and exhausted laiders. Then will be the time for our mercantile friends to avail themselves of the superior advantages which the J)EMOC(RAT'S annual statement and its extraordinarily large cdltion will afford to advertise thieir goods and present their claims for patronage to purchasers from the country.

It has never been the policy of tile DEMo(tn'r to use its eolumns to advance the intorest of any candidatl for a nomlnation in the party. We fool called upon, however, to make an exception to a rule we have never before violated. The name of Mr. Ernest ilitennberger will be before tihe convention for nomination for Itecorder of the Secomd District. Miltenberger now holds that office by appointment from Gov.

Nicholls, and he has discharged the difficult liutiO of the position with so much integrity, fearlessness and intelligence that we believe it would be a reflection upon the convention were it to nominate any man over him. In one or two cases Judge Miltenberger rendered decisions which required the highest integrity and courage, and in all cases he has been at once firm and merciful, and always above suspicion. It will be fortunate for this city if all the parties nominated to-morrow are of the same class of men as Judge Ernest Miltonberger. It Is seldom that it can be said of a public official that it would be a party wrong and a public calamity to displace him. For some time past the publio journals have been printing statements more or less incorrect, relative to a scandal in which Hon.

J. i. Aklen is the leading personage. The finding of the committee of Democrats and personal friends selected by Mr. Acklen himself to investigate the charges, is printed in another column, and will fully explain the views of the committee.

Mr. Acklen also prints a card of a very extraordinary character, which will require further notice. The most surprising revelation made by Mr. Acklen in his publication is, that about the same time he submitted his to a committee of personal friends, all of whom were Democrats, he also, without their knowledge, submitted it to a committee of Radicals. In this connection we must also observe that it is very extraordinary that Mr.

Acklen should state to the public that the Democratic committee were unauthorized to consider this matter in its political bearings, because he had restricted them exclusively to the social If Mr. Acklen did not wish a political decision, and was desirous only of a verdict of a social nature, it will be interesting to his constituents to know why he secretly submitted this delicate and distreessng question to a committee of Radical politicians. Did he suppose that the verdict of the committee of I his Dlemocratic friends would carry less social worth with it than a verdict from Messrs. Michael Hahn, Geo. L.

Smith, H. C. Dibble, A. J. Syphor, Morris Marks and Jack Wharton? The documents, however, were placed in our hands too late last night for the further comment they require and will receive.

"THE SNAKY SOROERESS." We have not yet learned the result of the primary elections held in the wards to elect delegates to the parish convention. It is tobe hoped that the published list in the morning will agreeably disappoint public expectation and that a convention will assemble to-morrow which will nominate a ticket creditable to the Democratic party and calculated to heal all dissensionus amongst our people. It is to be regretted that the elections had so much the appearance of being run exclusively by combinations of candidates. Many Democrats declined to vote because they knew nothing of the persons whose names were on the tickets for delegates from their wards, and because they could learn nothing of the persons and combinations the tickets represented. The lists of delegates, except in a few instances, were unknown until the morning of the election; they seemed to be made up in secret by unseen and then launched at the last momnent before the voters; and those who were not in the secret, or who were not strikers of the combinations, were utterly at a loss to know who or what to vote for.

Whether this was really the case or not we shall not pretend to say now. The work the convention will perform for the party to-morrow will be the true standard by which to udge its honesty and representative character. It is charged, and there is very little doubt that the charge is true, that a great combination, including candidates for nearly every city and parish office and for the Legislature, was formed with the Louisiana Lottery Company and other rings to control the primaries and the convention. If another charge be true, that the combination has been very generally successful, and the convention carries out the progranune of the combination, there will be a fierce, widespread and successful revolt against the nominations; the character of the primary elections will be completel)y exposed the leaders of the combination will be pointed out, and the emptiness of the claims of the ticket to Democratic fealty established. Yesterday afternoon and last night the town was filled with the mutterings of revolt, not from chronic growlers and disappointed aspirants, but from Democrats whose heads have whitened while they fought the battles of the Democracy, and from men younger but not less true to the cause, and who never bolted a nomination.

We trust and believe that their fears are unfounded and their complaints premature. We trust that the combination has not succeeded, or that the delegates who have been put forward in its interests will foresee the horrible error they will commit in carrying out its schemes. We trust, and shall believe until the convention has belied the Democratic party and disgraced itself, that it will nominate a ticket composed of Democrats and Conservatives of ability and integrity, and who possess the full confidence of the public. No Democratic convention can nominate any man for a public offlice, who is not committed to opposition to the Louisiana State Lottery. There are other institutions and rings to which an honest Democratic candidate must be opposed.

We refer to this one especially, at this time, because it is charged throughout the city that it has largely lufluenced the primaries of yesterdlay, and will largely influonce the nominations to-morrow. The partisans of that corrupt institution hold that it has contributed to the success of the Democratic party, and that any representation a Dlemocratic convention and a Democratic constituency may give it in the Legislature, will vote and in all measures co-operate with the Democrats. On this ground they hold that tile Lottery has a right to exercise an lniiuen.e in the nominations of the Demnocratic party. There is not a word of truth in this. From the hoiur that the Lottery sprang from the womb of the "snaky sorceress" that kept the fatal key which excluded right, and honesty, and justice from our legislative halls, to tihe hour when it bec'ame apparent that Radicalism was doomedl, the Lottery stood by its Imotilr.

Then, lhowever, it be.ame the Iloudest champion (of thie Nicholls government, and all its watch dlogs howled and barked in noisy gladlness at the approach of the new master; but, like that foul Ibroodl which un ceasingly barked aroundl the sorceress at the gate of hell, yet "Would creep, If aught disturb'd their noise, back into her womb. And kennel there." at the first attack made by the DEMIOCRAT upqn its charter, obtained by corruption and abused and forfeited in numberless instances, the Lottery gang crept back into the bowels of the Radical party. We have not space here to) go over the story of its machinations in the last session of the Legislature, and show how it operated through the Radical members and its few followers among the socalled( Democrats, and defeated several of the reform measures most earnestly desired by the people of this State. That story has already been thrice told in these columns. We now propose to relate an interview which took place in Baton Rouge between an agent of the Lottery Company, who was a Democratic member, God save the mark! of the last House, and which confirms all we have said against that iniquitous corporation.

Early in the morning of the sixth of August last the member referred to called at Burch's house. The burly Senator received him with great cordiality, on the footing, indeed, of a very dear and intimate friend and invited him to breakfast. That invitation, we believe, was declined, and then began a very interesting conversation on the political outlook, of which the following Is a very correct report: Rprescntative--Bureh, the old man wants you to run for State Senator again-we want you in the next Legislature. Burch--Now, Harry, I don't know about that; I have pretty well made up my mind to run for Congress in this district, and I doubt if I could be elected up here to the Senate. Rlepresentatlie--The old man is very anxious to have you in the Senate, and we are ready to put up the spondulix if there is any chance of your going back.

BIurck--Well, I'll think it over; I would do anything possible to help cover Charley; he was always liberal with the boys and never went back on them; but I don't believe I could be elected; there is too much feeling against me here. -We'll look around and see what can be about it; we want you back there next session. Didn't we run the thing lively last time? Had our boys solid, while the Democrats divided upon the convention and the monopolies, and we carried every point. On any question, all I had to do was to walk around and give our fellows the wink, and they voted right every time. Didn't I work it well? Burch-You did that, old fellow, and I think we will again.

We must cover Charley if possible. More conversation of similar import followed, when the two worthies separated. This interview was repeated to us the morning that it occurred by a young gentleman who overheard it. He has repeated it to us three times since, and we have given the meaning aud-substanceof it. We print it now because the belief that a considerable number of delegates have been elected to the convention who are in the interest of the lottery combination and who will nominate officials, representatives and Senators in the interest of that institution.

We desire that the convention, before it takes any such step, shall fully realize the nature of the Lottery Company. It is neither Radical nor Democrat; it is the Louisiana Lottery Company, and it will sacrifice any and all parties to accomplish its ends and defeat those reform measures which are essential to the recuperation of the State but which are inimical to the lottery interest. We are not of those who prejudge and condemn the convention before it has shown its work. We have so much faith in Democracy that we believe that, in a Democratic convention Democracy and right will always in the main triumph, and we feel that it is our duty to give the convention which is to assemble to-morrow our full confldence until it proves itself unworthy of confidence. However irregular the primaries may have been, if the convention presents to the people a ticket deserving confidonce and support, we shall support it with all our zeal and energy.

But if it proves to be a convention elected in the interest of monopolies, rings and corruptionists generally, goodxl citizen-n ill look elsewhere for candidates, and will elect them. Until Tuesday's elections the candidates for the next Congress numbered something over 800. Now they are about 100 less. I Orth was not beaten in the Ninth Indiana District, Gen. Low Wallace's remark still holds good.

Ife ought to have Ol(n. Success for Orth would mean encouragement for obeWe are at last definitely informed of the nature of the troubles that have so long oppressed Hanna. He was bearttn by 1)o La Matyr for Congress, and "that's what the matter with Hanna!" Murch, tih man who beat Tlale, andl who has been described by stalwart organs as an ignoramus, gives the lie to the assertion in one brief sentence. He says lHayes is a fraud. No stronger evidence of Mr.

MurJh's good sense is required. Gen. Gordon is doing splendid campaigning in Georgia--it is as business-like and effective as any he did in Virginia. lie is stumping Judge Lester's district against Felton, old Aleck Stephens' InIdependent candidate. The Georgia papers say that his appearance is everywhere greeted with a perfeet ovation.

After the killing of 300 or 400 people and the destruction of many valuable plantations and much other property, the "disagreement" hetween the planters and negroes on the Da.nish island of St. Croix has been adjusted. That is, thb rioters have been d1ispersed and order has again been restored. What the dilliculty that was so expensive In blood and property was all about is not very clear. It appears to haveo blen a question of wages, bult the details are wanting.

visiting statesman has loon before thel' and has been ordered out of publict lif'-. This is Chtarls Foster, whose politicalt c(orpse was quietly laid away in the Eighth District of Ohio on Tuesday The1 be.st of it is that 'Foster has no hope, of ompIensation from I ayes. lie abused thel to make, votes with the people, and now tIere is no longer an opening for 1111im. Thle country will survive the loss of iFostler's srvices. Another "bloody shirt" stirieker and truculent abuser of the South has come to grief.

Townsend, of New York, will not long test the patience of the country. With the close of the present Congress he must seek a new field of usefulness. The Republicans of his district have concluded that he can serve the party best by remaining at home, and have nominated Walter A. Wood, the mower and reaper manufacturer, to succeed him. The "bloody shirt" seems to be a boomerang, The Hon.

Charles Foster is the most thorough and complete wreck that has been sent adrift on the ocean of Republican ingratitude for these many years. He propared himself for the campaign by stripping himself of all responsibility for Hayes' policy and denouncing the whole arrangement. The result is that now in the day of defeat no soft Federal place has been kept warm for him and he may be considered as permanently located somewhere very near the headwaters of Salt river. He should have clung to the administration and Fostered with more care. The old game is being tried by the Philadelphia Republicans.

Thieir most brilliant coup heretofore has been the addition of 25,000 or 30,000 fraudulent names to the registration lists. This year they have surpassed all previous achievements in this line, having increased the registration at least 40,000. The work of purging the lists is now going on, and as a result of one day's labor no less than 818 names improperly on the books were exposed and stricken off. An idea of the extent of these registration frauds may be gathered from the fact that i a single division of the first ward in 174 names on the list not less than 149 were found to be fraudulent or fictitious.

October 9, 1575. From the "cgrdon of life" the cruel scythe of death, hurled in the hand of the Mystic Monster, hasicut dov as fair a blossom as ever there bloomed-a wre little bed, born but to bloom a few short days what though we know that in the land of Divir.ity the seeds of this precious exotic will have been transplanted, and from there spring a flower far more beautiful and fair than thiat which grew on earth-the blossom of Divinity, the perfume of purity. the rose of God's holy land. What though we know that in the glories of heaven this litle bud will open its petals, nourished by the tender hands of angel gardeners and bathed in the spurting streams of crystal springs-does the knowl-dgo of this alleviate the severity of their loss or in any way allay the pain which this sudden visitation of death has imparted to the hearts of the fond tIarents? Merciful Father! Thou hast taught us to believe that Thy every suction is for he teost; that Thou tposoetsr'th an insight to the futture whicbh mor'i1 ha1i not, and by plucking from the, treo of life this ruro II tir bud we feel that in Thy inflnite rower Thou hiust soared her from a fate worse than this one tbut. forgive them Father if from their crushed Ihe'trts Ithely cry out aRgarinstthe fates.

Ala! the blow was severe, for when they saw their darling hidden behind the sanb of a ihilly vault, cold. dead and dumbt! they were Iowerless ton rsist the cry of anguish that arose from the depth of their sickened hearts.

"0, life! whero art thy joys without accompanying sorrows?" Lingering upon our life is a sincere prayer that her ashes may forever rest in an eternal wo'rld if enace. love and divinity. Our hearts sympathize with the fond parents in their afflition; may our Father of Heaveo tender to them the condoluolen they so sorely need. Amen.
