Bennett B. Simmes a native of Maryland and one of the wealthiest men in the state of Louisiana before the Civil War being informed that a printed statement "the object of which is the vituperation and abuse of the undersigned" was circulating in New Orleans occasioning Simmes to deliver a caning to its author New Orleans physician W.T.

"Duelling was a social practice common in various sections of the United States for a century prior to 1870 . it lost favor in the North after the Revolution but spread in the ante-bellum South motivated by a growing planter class French and Spanish influences and an individualism which soon developed a high code of honor . duels were waged over differences of opinion real or fancied wrongs or insults. Arrangements usually were carried out with respect to the code whether it was the English the South Carolina or the New Orleans covenant . the practice embraced all classes . among the famous duelling grounds were 'Duelling Oaks' New Orleans reports indicate that as many as ten duels were held 'under the oaks' on one Sunday in 1839 . most of the states of the young republic eventually decreed a challenge a breech of peace . in the latter part of the 19th century public opinion and ridicule brought an end to a deadly and senseless custom" Encyclopedia of American History.

Louisiana: Shepley George F.ABAA

STATE OF LOUISIANA EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT NEW ORLEANS OCTOBER 29 1863. GENTLEMEN: AN ADDRESS TO THE CITIZENS OF LOUISIANA WAS PUBLISHED YESTERDAY.PURPORTING TO BE SIGNED BY YOU BY ORDER OF THE EXECUTIVE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF LOUISIANA caption title and beginning of text

1863WRCAM55510New Orleans 1863. 2pp. printed on a folded quarto sheet. Faintest toning at bottom edge else fine. An interesting New Orleans imprint encapsulating the tensions between Northern political forces and indigenous conservative political actors during the brief Free State movement in Confederate Louisiana. Here George F. Shepley military governor of Louisiana from 1862 to 1864 rebukes Conservative Unionists H.H. Pugh E. Ames and J.Q.A. Fellows of the "Executive Central Committee of Louisiana." They had issued what "in effect purports to be a proclamation for an election of members of Congress and officers of the State government." Shepley pronounces such a proclamation void writing that "no authority for such action has been given by the National Government or by the military authorities in this State." Further Shepley demands the organizers of the committee answer a series of questions about the who what when where and why's of the committee's existence. The Executive Central Committee in Louisiana was a conservative organization that sought to re-institute the original American Constitution in Louisiana mainly to restore slavery and lobbied Abraham Lincoln on the matter in the summer of 1863. Of course Lincoln did not comply siding with the more radical Free State Committee and insisting on a new constitutional convention for Louisiana followed by new elections before Congress met in early December. The present document surely came about as a reaction to efforts by the Executive Central Committee to get their way before a new Constitution based on eventual Reconstruction the Emancipation Proclamation and new elections could be drafted and approved. Lincoln's efforts at a new constitution and elections for Louisiana continued into 1864 and came to fruition for a brief time with new elections in late February and a new constitution ratified by public vote in September. This new political landscape for Louisiana was short-lived however as the U.S. Congress refused to seat the Louisiana delegation in December 1864. Not in Jumonville or Thompson and with no copies in OCLC. An illuminating entry in the brief Free State movement in Louisiana during the Civil War. unknown books

The Fair's President was the merchant I.N. Marks. "As indicated by his name ISAAC N. MARKS is of Hebrew descent and is a distinguished representative of his highly favored race but contrary to the usual customs of that people he has adopted the Christian faith. This change in his creed is due to the independent manner of thought which has characterized him from his boyhood and has ever made him master of his personality in the domain of both his sentiments and business. Mr. Marks is a native of South Carolina having been born at Charleston on the 5th of May 1817. At the age of nineteen he came to New Orleans and linked his career with that of his adopted city then lacking much of the greatness and grandeur which to-day places her a queen among cities" online 'Genealogy Trails History Group Orleans Parish The pamphlet records Louisiana's first Fair after the War's end in late November 1866.
