Grant, Jr., has been interviewed a Pittsburg reporter. He says his father not said much about 1880, but writes that S hewishes to return to private life and enjoy the sweets of solitude." His son, however, 4aid: "If his friends urge him, he will most ikely let matters take their natural course." ~ ill somebody now interview Freddy ? The Cincinnati Gazette, Republican, has aced up a ticket for the Democrats in 1880- iden and Ewing. The only truth about the ihole story is the probability of Ewing's cton to the governorship of Ohio, which e Gazelle tacitly admits in nominating this [cket. The Gazelc attributes the scheme to 'ilden himself. Baby-bonds are the rage. They have car ried the day in Philadelphia. That city has just arranged a compromise of its debt by which a new issue of bonds will be made. These will bear oniy 4 per cent interest and ,be of small denominations-S25 for the most ,part-so that the poorer classes of the popu 'lation can invest their savings in them. Charlie PFotor has just sent in his budget to the managers of the Ohio campaign at ,Washington. The 1i'publican party in Ohio needs, he declares, exactly $100,000 for cim paign expenses and must have it. The gov ernment clerks at the capital will have to live more economically for a month or two. The Republican party cannot afford to lose Ohio. The appropriations of the Federal govern ment for the liscal year of 1879, ending June ! 0, 1879, were $14G,304,309,which is $32,285,986 more than they were for 1878. This increase is due to the increased river and harbor appro priations, and the Halifax fishery award The calculation for the coming year is $136,200,000, which is rather above the averaga since 1874, The appropriations may however fall beyond this sum but will scarcely exceed The number and strength of "flower nis slons" in Northern cities is rapidly increas leg. Contributors t, t he Flower Mission of New York are now nuo, red by hundreds, : nnd the members daily carry their beautiful teastres to the sick and poor. Last season. 1iOQ0, 0 auquets were distributed, beside ripe and delibIdus fruit-a luxury often beyond reach of the poor. What cheer, what fond memories, and what tenderness is thus evoked by a simple knot o fl wers, is often incalculable. Would not a similar sthtitutlot flourish in this city ? POWERS-OF TER ooVEITION. The power of theOonvention to appropriate t moneys in the treasury, not otherwise ap- I proprlated, or to raise money by loan, or e special tax, for the purpose of enabling it to t complete its work, we are astonished to see, has been disputed both in and out of the Con- t vention. Those who deny this power seem I to us to have taken the most extraordinary I grounds. If the Convention has no power to c make an appropriation, or to otherwieb raise e money to prolong Its existence and enable it t to complete the constitution, the consequences c will be extremely disastroas to the people. The Times and Picayune seem to rejoice at the prospect of such an issue of a Convention, I the calling of which they so vigorously and bitterly opposed. But none the less will the people be the sufferers. The adjournment of i 'the Convention, at this time, for the want of I twenty-five thousand dollars, will prolong ( the period of doubt and uncertainty whichl naturally now prevail throughout the State I as to the final settlement of the debt, the rate of taxation, etc., while the cost of maintain- 1 ing the old and obnoxious system of govern- 4 ment now In operation will cost the tax pay ere several hundreds of thousands of dollars in hard cash. It is simply absurd to hold that the Con vention elected by the people to do away with the present constitution, and the govern mental machinery operating under, it, is powerless to preserve its own existence; and that an error of judgment, on the part of a mere Legislature, in estimating the sum re quired for the expenses of the Convention cannot be corrected by the latter body, though a failure to correct may entail upon the State a burden ten times greater than the deflcit. The Legislature of 1870 was elected with ex press instructions to call the Constitutional Convention. For two years the people had demanded this measure in the meet em phatllo terms. The Convention was called at 4 the demand of the people; its delegates were elected with express or tacit instructions to form a new organic law radically different from the present one, and under which hun- I dreds of thousands of dollars would be an nually saved to tile taxpayers of Louisiana The Convention, then, is sitting in New Or leans to-day under a call of the people, and under directions from the people to give them prompt and large relief from taxation. The Convention was the creation of the people alone; it can know no other authority. The act of the Legislature was a more form, designed to voice the will of the people. In the nature of things, it could fix no limita tions or restrictions upon the Convention cal culated to defeat the objects for which it was called. The mission and purpose of the latter body is to wipe out of existence the constitu tion and the whole system and machinery under which the former had Its being. If, therefore, the former had power to limit the existence of the latter, then the Legislature had power to defeat the will of the people through the very act in which it pretended to obey their demand. This is absurd. The Convention derives its authority from the people. The people elected it to perform a great and pressing duty, and they demand that it shall proceed with its work and resort to all proper ways and means, re gardless of any legislative act, to provide money to enable it to consummate that work. Aside from the question of authority, it would be unwise and unjust for the Conven tion to appropriate, for its own use, moneys in the treasury to the credit of special appro priations; but there ought to be no question as to its authority to appropriate any moneys not so credited. " If there are nong such, then it is the duty of the Convention' to borrow the money, issue such evidences of debt as may be necessary, and direct the next Legislature to provide for the prompt payment of the loan. This Is en tirely practicable, and it is what we have n doubt will be done. The merchants, broke and capitalists of New Orleans have always been prompt and ready to aid the State in the emergencies through which we have passed during the last ten years, and we are assured that, impressed with the importance of the Convention com I pleting its work before adjournment and as suring peace and relief from taxation, they will promptly respond to a call of the Con vention for the necessary loan. Such a loan the tax-payers will regard as a sacred debt, and the first measure of the Legislature elec ted under the new constitution will be to make provision for the full payment of the debt, princelpa.l and interest. A DELIOATE POINT SETTL THE NEXT Pmsi NcY.-T Now Orleans Times, the organ of the Nicholls Demrc ray in Loulsimaa. is outsooken in ooposition to the nomination f either Mr. Tilden or ox Gov. Hendricks for he next Presidency. Mr. Bayard, however, t e Times intiilates, would b3 acceptable at an rate. It anyi ho comes nearer the mark t n any other public man that has yet been m ationed. The above, from he Baltimore Sun, con clusively disposes a question that has been disturbing this co munity for some time past, and which hae even been a matter of dispute in the Sena e of the United States, to wit: the political s atus of the New Orleans Times. We now now exactly where our "oonsoclated" cont dporary stands. Some time since, n response to direct in terrogatories prop unded by Exodus Win dom, Senator Jon and "Brindle Bill" Kel logg undertook to eflne the exact status of the Times. They iffTred essentially in re gard to the matter Mr. Jonas emphatically asserted that the l nes was not a Democratic paper; that it wa4 owned and edited by Re publicans, and tha it did not represent public opinion in Louisia a. Kellogg, on the other hand, declared th. it had the largest circu lation in the Sout est; that it stood in the front rank of Den lcratic journals, and that the fact that Clin on, his ex-Auditor, owned and directed it pro red that he-Kellogg-was becoming a very 4pular and much beloved individual in the S te. The "consoclatio " unanimously adopted Kellogg's version, especially that portion which related to toe largest circulation in the Southwest, and without any expostula tions in regard to thb inference Kellogg drew from Clinton's propri tary interest of his own growing popularity, lit went for Mr. Jonas with a beautiful enthusiasm. Of course the paper which is ownedi and directed by Clin ton, and which stand$ as a living testimony to the love and veneration for Kellogg that is gradually overcoming the good people of Louislana, is bound toibe a Democratic organ of some kind, and whatever it says in be half of Louisiana Democracy is necessarily authoritative. But, unhappily, Louisiana Democracy is not as harmonious as it was and will be in 1880. It is a thing of many and varied shades, complexions ant temperatures. We have debt pa g andp -debt paying Demoorate. h..e are number of ques. tions upon wh .w w divided. Until the y Baltimore uu rmed us we could not say definitely whi the subdivisions and tao- I tions of the p ty the Times represented. I Now, we are l ured, it is the "organ of I the Gov. Nhos' Democracy." All we 4 have to do a find out what the Gov. I Nicholls' De oc acy" is and then--just think I of it--we ha e e Times located-we know 4 exactly whe 'it tands, and that is the end of the matter d cople can go along with the ordinary afftrs ir life without the slightest cause for a re oension or uneasiness. But, the " ov.4Nicholle Democracy"-which Is that? ,1 ce Ijis inauguration, our worthy Governor onscentiously endeavored to realize his pro ise to be the Governor of the State, of toe w le people, of Democrats and Republlca s al e. He has had but little to do with p litic nothing to do with party schemes ad po dces. He has not endeavored to impre4 his orsonality upon any faction of the p ty, o assumed to direct any oel ment of ppulaa opinion. He has not endeav ored to esure ny special following which might 1 desl nated as the "Nicholls De mooracy"--or t e Nicholls faction. But, had he such a foll ing, we sire quite sure the Tlmes would n t be its organ. TIEMNE NEEDED. Like a voice from e past we hearken to and commend to our ublic men the words of Edmund Burke to the electors of Bristol: It ought to he the atpiness and glory of a representative to live n the strictett union, the closest corresponden , and the most unre served communicatio with his constituents. Their wishes ought have great weight wilh him; their opinion h h respect; their busi ness unremitting atte on. It is his duty to saori es his repose, his pleas ures, his satisfaction theirs; and, above all. 1 over, and in all cases t prefer their interest to his own. But his unbi ed opinion, his mature judgment. his enlighte ed conscience, he ought not to sacrflice to you. a.y man, or to any set of men living. These e does not derive rom your pleasure no, no from the law and the eonstit,.tlon, The a a trust frrm Provi deuce for the abuse which he is deeply an swerable. Your representative we you not his indus try l nly, but his ur et; and he betrays, in stead of serving you, I he sacrifices it to your opinion. These are words, w ich should be taken.to heart by the delegat s in the Constitutional Convention now en ged in framing an organic law, that tou hes in its bearings all those questions Inv ived in the soclal com pact which bind tog her the dead, the liv ing and generatio to come In a common history. The most painful i presslons created dur the session of the Con entlon, have been pro duced by the vascillat n and moraLweakness r diplayed by delega a whose names have stood high in the h torytof our State for learning, courage and patrlotlsm; men who in many public con ts in the past, both itate tand parochial, iaXned-and- le their people to political vie oaies, but who now shrink into silence, or spr their opinions e with bated breath and, urtive glance of the Seye. We have often hean d read of the cour age born of a man's civ otions, and we have 0 been taught to honor d respect all able exhibitions of it, eve t ugh we should dis agree with the opint ns xpressed, but there is a kind of courage hich we are strang ers, and the exhill~tlin blt fills the beholder with shame and mo~tlidation that his race and his State shouldtwitiess the display. We refer to that bold~ess which sustains men in supporting byt their votes and in their speeches, doctrines aid measures to which they express themselfs,jin their private and personal relations with ien, as bitterly op posed. It is to us ineoni rensible that men e should declare their °el. that the peace of the State, and it. honor and welfare, `r demand a settlemeft of the question p" ending between the State and her creditors n a certain basis, anad when the time ar ives to give expressitn to their convictions, they pause, and as if overcome by some 5 motal dread, cast their'votes for the defeat of e that which they are k4own to regard as just, d and within the ability bf the people. Those delegates whose minds have been clouded with misgivin s upon the great ques tions before the Con ention, should arouse themselves to the necessity of asserting their individuality, and acting upon their owirbest .n judgment. Louisiana is lookin to her sons in the Con vention to lead and rm public opinion by 0 their wise and patrio i action, and will, we te trow, share our sad s, if weakness and in 7 decision mark the rse of that element classed between eit er extremes, who hold the balance of powe$ upon all the important questions before th Convention. is, THE WEST FELIOIANA DEMOCRKAOY We published yesterday a special telegram from our correspondent, Vidette, at Bayou Sara, concerning the proceedings of the par ish convention of the Democrats in West Fe liciana. All true Democrats of the State will be glad to learn that the factions into which the party in West Felilciana has lately been divided have disappeared, that the political differences ex isting in that parish have been harmoniously settled, and that the party promises to pre serve the excellent organization and show the solid front in 1880, which were conspicuously manifested in the campaign of 1876, when West Feliciana and the other Florida parishes contributed greatly to gaining the signal vic tory of the party that year. The election of Mr. J. F. Irvine to the chair manship of the Democratic Parish Commit tee was a step which we think will meet with commendation. Mr. Irvine, beside blelig one of the most enterrrising and liberal-minded members of the mercantile community of the State, is a public-spirited citizen, possessing a high order of political ability, and will prove a most competent campaign manager. Our correspondent informed us that the convention passed resolutions expressive of the people of the parish being opposed to re pudiation, in favor of a reduction in taxation and of retrenchment in the expenses of the State government. The Democracy of West Feliieana appears to have placed itself on record with reference to the vital questions of the day, and stands squarely upon the platform of 1876 and 1878. We feel that its voice will be heard as its votes are appreciated. The Washington Post beliees that Hayes is scheming for another exte session. He fears to call one at present, h ving been made aware of the fact that the p ple of the coun try would not tolerate this. His Idea is to work up public sentimenb s that it will in dorse this call. He propose to do this by a conspiracy with Devens. ae United States marshals throughout the mutry are to be ordered and instructed to perform their work very negligently, to itefere and delay as much as possible the bsiness in the United States courts, and, in f ct, to make all busi ness drag so as to disgust all suitors, a nd Indeed,, the whole comrnunity. As this V #11 interfere with the general bpsilness of the '° country, and turn hundr4ds of criminals loose, it will necessarily create a great deal of popu lar excitement and disgust. When the popular cry arises against these marshals, Hayes will cowe in and attribute it to the failure of Con gress to provide the necessary appropriation for the United States courts, and declare that the only way in which the evil can be reme died will be by an extra ;session of Congress to vote appropriations for these marshals. A call for an extra session; can then be made, Hayes thinks, without arousing the popular indignation. Even if this is an "ofi year" in polities no less than' fourteen States hold their State elections. Kentucky leads off August 4, when she elects State officeks and a Legislature California follows September 3, electing State officers and Congressmen. Maine comes next, Septeinber 8, selectinga Governor and a Leg islature. Ohio and Iogwa have their fun Octo ber 7. On November I, Maryland, Massa chusetts, Minnesot (New York and Virginia elect governors, a M Misslsslppi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania sj, isconsin Legislatures. Evidently, even off years" there is no ces sation from electi.na in this country. There were 481 Pinafore companies dis banded last month. WA40NS S CANE CARTSC I POKES! ` E. N.
