OUR TICKET. W AT' THE COUNTRY PRESS THINKS OF OUR NOMINVFIE FOR STATE TREA&~URER. [Baton Rouge Advocate.] Although East Baton Rouge stood by Major Moncure to the last and when he was with drawn went solidly for Richardson, she yields gracefully to the defeat of her first and sec ond choice for State Treasurer, and pledges to the nominee of the Democratic-Conserva tive party a rousing majority. Major E. A. Burke, the nominee, is no stran ger to our people. The name of Burke is Iinked with many stirring events in the po litical history of our State during the past few years. East Baton Rouge recognizes and appreciates the invaluable services rendered to the people of Louisiana by Major E. A. Burke during the times that tried men's souls, and she will not fail in November to do her whole duty. Major Burke is able, fearless and honor able, and will make a most excellent officer. Not a word of reproach can be brought against him either personally or politically. Even under the most trying times his devo tion to the people of Louisiana has been proven by his acts. Acts like his need not be rehearsed upon the hustings or in the press to be recognized and appreciated by the peo ple. The fruits of his labors combined with those of his fellow Louisianians are now being enjoyed by all in honest, just and eco nomical government, perfect peace and har mony, and bright hopes of returned prosper ity and wealth. East Baton Rouge can be set down at from 000 to 1000 majority for Burke. [Shreveport Standard.I The convention has crowned its work by the nomination of an eminently suitable can didate for the office of State Treasurer. The nomination was made unanimous amid much enthusiasm, and a determination evinced on the part of the friends of each of the other candidates to give the nomination a hearty and vigorous support. The protracted con test seems to have been conducted with great fairness, courtesy and good feeling. No bad blood was engendered that we know of. Even local prejudices seem to have been ignored. We did not hear of any of that hostility of the country to city candidates, or vice versa, which sometimes crops out amid the heat of the contest in our nominating conventions. Nor was there any necessity for it. A Democ racy like that of New Orleans, which can add 20,000 to the majority in the State, and which fought so gallantly and so persistently in the recent struggle for the State government, is not only entitled to every consideration but to the warmest thanks of the people of Louis larn. We should have cheerfully supported either of the able gentlemen whose names were pre senlted to the conventlon for the office of Treasurer. Col. Richardson, whom we know well, both as a soldier and civilian, would adorn any position in the State. The people of this section had set their hearts on the nomination of Major Moncure, because of his high personal character his qualiilicttions and his deserts, as one who has labored long for the success of the party, and who was de frauded out of this same oflice four years ago by the act of the infamous Returning Board. Of course, they are greatly disappointed. But this will not prevent them from giving the ticket their cordial and undivided support. We know something about disappointments at the result of nominating conventions, both personally and from observation. We have but one rule on the subject, which we not only observe ourselves, but require every one else in the party whom we can control to observe. It is, that every man's first choice should be the nominee of the convention. We will guarantee that Major Burke will not have in the State two more earnest supporters than his competitors for the nomination, and that he will not lose a single vote among the friends of either. Nor could the nomination have been be stowed on a worthier recipient. Major Burke combines all the requisites for a head of the ticket at the present time. He possesses fine talents, excellent business capacity and a strict integrity of character. His eminent qualifications forthe office mnay be judged of from the unanimity with which he was sup ported by the busir as men of New Orleans, of all classes andr y the union of the different "Wings" o the party in that city in his favor. i44 man no one is superior to him as aer. organizer, nor more earnest and laborious aay his work in thiat capacity. In all the so Sts -re and trying labors which ended, after so ing a time, in the final establishment of the w eople's government, Major Burke was one of Nthe most prominent actors. The recent inves tigations of the Potter committeo have I brought conspicuously to light the great ser vice he has done the State, for which he is en ~ titled to recognition by the people and to their 8 lasting gratitude. , We presume that the nominee will make a canvass of the State. We know nothing of his oratorical powers on the stump. But this is a small matter in these dayswhen "gab" has brought the republic almost to the verge of destruction. We want to get into an era when leadirg men shall receive credit for what Mr. Carlyle would call the "eloquence of silence." Your talking'man, says Macau lay, would cut but a poor figure in the pres ence of a Cromwell who talked nonsense or a William the Silent who never talked at all. Whether Major Burke talks or not, it does not take him long, when mingling with the people, to win by his personal magnetism their respect and their support His election is beyond peradventure. l[hreveODOrt Tlmes. We observed yesterday that the excitement over the defeat of Major Moncure for the nomination of State Treasurer had consider ably abated. The sober second thought will prompt the reflection that local preferences cannot always be gratified, and so long as there are parties party discipline should be voluntarily maintained. There is a vast deal of bosh about the "party lash" and kindred terms. For ourself, we do not propose to at tempt its use. Every intelligent voter has his opinion of the governmental policy that will best subserve the interests of the country, and he is morally bound to vote in accordance with his convictions. The province of a party paper is to endeavor to confirm its friends in the faith, and to gain as many converts as possible from the other side. We hold that the principles of the Democratic party are best for the South, and that her only friends at the North are in that party. Firmly be lieving this we must warn our friends against the evil of deserting the ticket for light and trivial causes. Individuals may entertain a prejudice against Mr. Burke, but we doubt if they are well founded. We confess to having enter tained the feeling ourself, though also confess it was based on an undefined opinion. But during a two months' stay in New Orleans, pending the contest between the Nicholls and Packard governments we witnessed some and heard a great deal of his untiring efforts in behalf of the former. When we saw the implicit trust reposed in his judgment and in tegrity by the leading men of the party and by Gov. Nicholls himself we were forced to the conviction that we had been unjust in our estimate of the man. In manner he is courteous, quiet and unpre tending, whilst his energy is simply wonder ful. His administrative ability is probably superior to that of any man in the State. His head is clear as a bell and his judgment is rarely at fault. He did more to organize the Democratic party in New Orleans in the elec tions of 1872, 1874 and 1876 than any one else, and his influence there to-day is so great that hecan carry probably 2000 more votes than any other candidate could. He certainly de serves well of the people of Louisiana, and we feel confident will be elected by an over whelming majority, even if he had any oppo sition. [New Orleans ExDnnent.] Our support of Major Burke was principal ly based upon the fa;t that nine years ago he earned his livelihood by thesweat of his brow, as a laborer, working for $1 per day. During his long service as th, agent of the Jackson Railroad, he was ever known as the working man's friend. As Administrator of Improve ments he could not satisfy all the demands for employment; but an exam),ination of his reoord shows that he was an ablel advocate of the rights of the workingman. Hii- masterly speech in the Council against leasing the wharves, his opposition to and defeat of the attempt to inaugurate the contract system, and his kindness to the poor, present reasons -hc the Pe-a leas t Should support his clfms--at least until some more worthy can dldate is presented. MASSACHEUSET r POLITICS. Democrats and Repubileins Joining Hands for Butler. [Springfleld Republican.] The Springfield Butler men had a secret meeting at the office of Lawyer John L. Rice, in the Five Cent Savings Bank block, last evening, the Republican party being re7pre sentedby C. C. Merritt, K. B. Webster, John L. Rice, Benjamin Weaver, T. B. Wilson, W. B. Rogers, N. B. Gibbs and Waiter Howard, and the Democratic by David Power, James O'Keefe, T. E. King, E. A. Hall, J. J. Moore and Charles McKay, this list, however, being not quite complete. An eight-page letter was read, addressed by Gen. Butler to Mr. Merritt, which began with the words, " I write to you very openly, because I have full confidence that you will not betray me." The writer then went on to say that he had many friends among the Democratic party, including Collins and Fitz gerald, and also Hnong the rank and file of the party, who have expressed a desire that he should run for Governor. From the assur ances he has received he is confident that he could, if he desired, capture the State Demo cratic Convention, but he will not make any effort for this, although he would be glad of its indorsement. The General believes that he could have been elected Governor in 1871 if he had run as an independent candidate, but he justifies his course by saying that in that case he would have had a Council and Legis lature who were opposed to him, and he would have been unable to do anything except to pardon out a few prisoners and attend the ag ricultural fairs. In conclusion, he expresses a desire to see Mr. Merritt face to face, that they may talk over the issues and prospects more freely and fully together. A general and informal confab was held on the general prospects and plans of the cam paign, the matter of congressman being fully discussed. Mr. Weaver said that he under stood Congressman Robinson didn't agree with Gen. Butler on financial and other ques tions, and so might see best after the cam paign began to make a speech against him. If Robinson pursued any such course, Weaver was for giving him - for it. All the Republi cans present seemed equally in favor of sacri ficing the present congressman if he opposed Gen. Butler, and the Democrats were not less ready under similar circumstances to slaugh ter their candidate, whoever he may be. The general conclusion on this matter was lar monious, and to the effect that, if either can didate opposes Butler, he shall be outlawed; if both of them do, a third candidate will be named, or if most of the other districts have independent candidates, this district will also. The general sentiment also was that those interested In this movement should retain their present political affiliations and attehnd their party caucuses and conventions. One member opposed this, however, and was in favor of withdrawing at once from the old party ties and taking open action as a third party. The others were of tire opinion that this course might be necessary, but that they would not hasten it. On the general discus sion of the chances it was stated as an en couraging fact that all the Democratic Rep resentatives from this part of the State were in favor of Butler. THE MONEY THEY HAVE IN FRANCE. Bronze Sons the Money of the People and Carted Into the Treasury. [Paris Letter in Baltimore American.] The French sous, or pennies, and double sous, are made of bronze, and the quantity of them in circulation is immense. Among the lower classes it is the principal circulating medium. On the great fete days, when the price of admission to the Exposition was five sous four wagon loads of this bronze money was sent to the Treasury next day, weighing about six tons. The passenger railway and omnibus conductors receive nothing but bronze money, and must have cart loads brought in daily. Whilst this is the case in Paris, it is even more extensively used in the country and smaller towns. The markets and small shopkeepers conduct their busi ness largely with bronze money. Gold is more abundant than silver in the larger branches of trade, and government notes are seldom seen of a smaller denomination than one hundred francs, up to five hundred and one thousand. There would seem to be no need here for silver, as the gold five franc and ten and twenty franc pieces are abundant and much more convenient and acceptable than silver money. The silver denominations are those of five francs, equal to one dollar, two francs, one franc and a half franc, equal to our dime. Silver will never be used here except as a means of making change in pmur chases, or anywhere else where gold and re deemable paper are available. -----.--t- o4------ The National Bank System. [st. Paul, Minn., Globe.] The Louisian Democrats have followed the lead of the Democrats of the North in their demand for the abolition of national banks and the substitution in place of their circula tion of an equal amount of greennacks. The demand is not confined to the Democratic party alone, but many Republicans unite with them in asking this reform in our financial system, and the National Greenback party is a unit in favor of the policy. It will thus be seen that the supporters of the national bank system are but few in number compared with its opponents. But though few, they are powerful, and notwithstanding the war that has been waged against them for years past, they have succeeded in maintaining the banks and procuring for them privileges of estraor dinary value. The national bank system is a pernicious one, grossly unjust to the people at large who bear the chief burdens of the govern ment. Under pretense of securing the holders of notes of banks from loss, the banks are al lowed to draw a double rate of interest on their circulation They take the interest on the bonds deposited as security for their cir culation, issue their notes as loans, and draw another large percentage of interest, and pay nothing for the printing of their notes, to say nothing of the profit that accrues from the loss and destruction of their currency. Thus they receive what in the aggregate amounts to nearly, if not quite, three legitimate rates, which has been computed at from 18 to 23 per cent of interest. In return for these great and valuable privileges, they pay simply a tax upon the value of their property-much less in proportion than other investments are forced to pay. The country is not enriched in the slightest degree by their existence, but is instead compelled to pay a heavy tax for the privilege of using an inferior currency. One great argument in favor of national banks is that they afford a stable and uni form currency which the country had nut had previous to their establishment. But would a currency issued by the government direct be any the less stable or uniform ? In fact, are not the greenbacks a better currency in every respect than national bank notes? The greenback is valuable as currency because the government pledges its faith for its redemp tion, and in no view of the case does the na tional bank currency possess an advantage over it. The greenback is less liable to be successfully counterfeited, is convenient, and has the full confidence of the people. We can see no reason why the government should not reap the profits now taken by banks of issue. It would assume no additional expense by issuing greenbacks in lieu of national bank notes, nor would it assume any additional risk, but it would derive no small profit from the natural wear and tear and destruction of notes. It is to be feared that, although more than three-fourths of the people of the whole coun try are warmly in favor of the abolition of national banks, they will fail of effecting the desired reform. Almost every prominent officer of the government and member of Con gress is interested in some national bank and draws a considerable profit from his invest ment. It is not to be expected that they will vote away their own revenue unless compelled to do so. The people must devise some means to enforce a compliance with their wishes. At present we know of none but the nomination and election to the Senate and House of R"p resentativeg of men who are not interested in maintaining the national banl system, and aso shall be solemnly pledged to vote for its abolition. The voters must be sincere and consistent. It will not do for them to demand the repeal of the obnoxious law and forthwith proceed to elect a stockholder in a national bank to represent them in Congress. Only by this means can the country be relieved from the cost of maintaining an expensive and wholly indefensible bank system. Vote the way you talk, gentlemen, and it will not be long before you will be able to regulate mat ters satisfactorily. MONTGOMElRI BLAIR. What He Thinks of the Potter Investiga tion and the Nationals. IN. Y. Tribune.] CAPE MAY, N. J., Aug. 3.-The Hon. Mont gomery Blair, who comes to the surface of politics at irregular intervals, and then mys teriously disappears again in the midst of his law practice, packed up his trunk and went home yesterday morning, after a sojourn of two weeks at the Stockton Hotel. Mr. Blair said that he expected the Demo crats to win in the fall elections. Public opinion seemed to him to be as much against the Republicans now as it was in 1874. He saw no chance for the Radicals, as he called them, to make any gains, and they were sure to lose in some parts of the country. "Do you think the Potter investigation has helped the Democrats any?" asked the corre spondent. "I do," was the reply. "It has given us an issue upon which the party has become united. There was, before, a tendency to split up on the money question and other subjects. Besides, it has made the Radicals 'shinny' to their own side, because, though the President snubs the leaders of his party, they cannot afford to desert him in this elec toral business; they were all involved in the Louisiana rascality together. They laughed at me for urging this matter so strongly but I had had too much experience to pay atten tion either to their attacks or their ridicule. The more they had to say the more I knew that the inquiry was likely to hurt." "Have you any Nationals in Maryland?" "Yes; there are some in Baltimore, but they keep their proceedings secret, and we don t know much about what they are doing. They will probably display some strength this fall." "And draw off some Democratic votes?" "No, the Nationals are almost all Radicals, The growth of the new party will help the Democrats. I look with favor upon the new organization and hope to see it increase in numbers. It has a good effect upon our party, and tends to bring us back to first principles. The Democratic party, as you know, has at times drifted away from Its old ideas. There are many Democrats, some of them Representatives in Congress, who have come into the Democratic ranks since the war, and do not accept the doctrines about which there was formerly no question. They were once Whigs or Republicans. For instance, nmany Democratic members of Congress are pecuniarily interested in banks and other cor porations, and you cannot expect such men as those to strike out from the shoulder against monopolists. The growth of the National movement will cause our party to be more careful in the kind of men it nominates. The London Times' Constantinople corres pondent says: "'The immediate effect of the Anglo-Turkish convention,' writes an intelli gent Arab to me, 'will be to make Cyprus the most prosperous island in the world. Many Turks, he adds, in explanation, have made up their minds, and are making preparations to leave Constantinople and to settle in the new English island, 'under that government which alone, as they think, unlderstands justice.' There is already a scheme for sitting up a newspaper in the Turkish language in Cyprus. Shoals of people will go over from the coasts of Syria, flying from the rapacity and tyran ny of Ottoman governors, for no onie (doubts that 'England will vouchsafe to the island that same freedom of the press which is es tabtlished in British colonies, unless, indeed, England were, out of complacence to the Porte, to alter her system and abjure her principles.'" Some of the papers are blaming John Sher m in for using a government vessel for a sum mer cruise along the coast. They say there is "neither precedent nor decent pretext for it." There is a precedent. It was made by John Sherman a year ago. And as for pre texts, are not the light-houses under the man agement of the treasury? Can any reasona ble man doubt that they are suffering for in spection, and that their lanterns will shine with increased effulgence after he has made his official tour?-[Washington Post. ----.-- .,---- It was in the golden prime of the good Louis Philippe, when a mermber of the Cabi net sent for an eminent journalist, and when they were alone said unto him: "See, here. would you like me to make you Chevalier of the Legion of Honor?"
