The salaries of judges of the Fif teenth Judicial District are $12,5rQ, as compared with $2500 before the war, an ncorease of 600 per cent, with no in crease of competency. It is suggested that as Wells and Kel logg will get into the Penitentiary just as McDofniald and Joyce step out, that perhaps the latter might leand them their peculiarly striped wearing ap parel. The people of Vicksburg are in earn est. Says the Herald: "Let us all go to the New Orleans Mardi Gras. The fare is low and accommodations desira ble by both rail and river." And all are coming. Kellogg has had that smashed car riage of his sent to Washington, but whether to ride in or as evidence as to the savageness of the people of Louis T lana, to all things Republican, it is hard to say. The Electoral Tribunal is a great deal slower than any schoolboy. It has been at work two weeks and has only got to "F," whereas there are few boys that would not have been at least through the alphabet by this time. =_ . ... - - What has become of our amendments to the Constitution submitted to the people at the late election ? No Board of Canvassers of any kind has declared the vote on them, although the title to many offices depends upon the result of this vote. The Courier-Journal thus philoso phizes over a proof reader's marriage: "The proof reader of the Indianapolls Journal has married the intelligent young woman who held the copy while he read. The fate of the sex is to marry, no matter how much else it has to do. The Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial says that burglars, thieves and pickpockets have possession of the city, and more are coming. Without transition he adds: 1ol. Bob Ingersoll, Susan B. Anthony ,and Mary A. Livermore have arrived. What does he mean? We print this morning a communica tion from Dr. Tebault, embodying some resolutions passed by the Tenth Ward Club some months ago on the question of reform. We publish the eommunica tion as relating to subjects of public in terest without committing ourselves to the sweeping views of the resolutions. Vienna, Lincoln parish, has discov ered that there are thirty-two other places of the same name in the United states, and some of its citizens are thinking about changing the name, under the fear that were letters con taining money to be sent to them they might miscarry and be sent to some other Vienna. The Vienna Sentinel suggests a yearly convention of the newspaper men of Louisiana. Such a convention yearly meets in both of our neigh bors, Texas and Mississippi, and to this, to no small extent, is owing the success of the Mississippi and Texas papers over those of this State, particularly in money-making. The Radical papers, as a general thing, have not a word of news about 'Wells, Vernon, or the investigation V ing on just now in Washington. The ; reveport Telegram, (Rep.) however, goes so far as to wish that, should the charges against Wells be proved, he should be punished to the full extent of the law. It has still faith, however, -has be will be shrewd and ,cunning enough to find some way out of the t~ap; but It is som ewhat usua to see a ;l blia. W't " much The Picayune is stroushly ezeroise. about the State debt; insists that Gov ernor Nicholls shall soon gravely con sider the subject and treat it with calm ness and wisdom. We are disposed to think our excellent neighbor is vexing its soul unduly in this matter. The recognition of the legal govern ment of the State, and the disappear anoe of the Packard fraud, will estab lish confidence everywhere in the se curities of the State, and the deficien cies in the interest fund of 1876, re ferred to by the Picayune Sunday, and more fully treated by the DEMOOCAT Tuesday morning, will not in any meas ure affect the credit of the State. When the status of the Nicholls gov ernment shall be undisputed, there will be an immediate appreciation of prop erty throughout the State, and, as the remarks of great Northern capitalists at the meeting in New York a few days since, to discuss the financial affairs of the Southern States, very clearly indi cates, large amounts of capital will seek investment in our commerce and enter prises. In view of such a prospect, it would be insane folly for the holders of the unfunded bonds, on which the back interest is due, to take any steps which would depreciate their own property; and in our articlo Tuesday, we pointed out the absurdity of supposing that a matter of $38,(0)t defllcency in thile in torest fund could disturb the financial condition of the government. The main point to be attained now, is the undisputed authority of the govern mloelt; there is no disposition in the State to repudiato its debt or any por i,on o it., andti the main point gained, the financial noffirs of the Stato will readily assume a solid, safe and sub stantial basis. The only event which could perma nently injuriously affect our State secu rities, would be the overthrow of the Nicholls G(overnment. Should an ef fort be made by the Federal power to establish Packard, or to establish in the State any other than the government elected by the people, the bonds of the State would be virtually repudiated; for the simple reason that the State would be ruined; no taxes would be paid; the people would leave Mlr. Packa and the creditors of the State to settle the debt to please themselves, wth what plunder they might be able to capture, and ap propriate to that purpose. When there is a certainty of the overthrow of the Nicholls government, and we think there never will be, then we advise all good men who hold State securities to get rid of them as fast as possible and as best they can. REASONS FOR OUR FAITH. Since the DEMOCRAT appears to be al most the only journal of this city that takes a cheerful view of the political situation, we deem it incumbent upon us to give some reasons for the faith that is in us. We shall endeavor, there fore, in this article to convoy to the minds of our readers a clear under standing of our views in the matter. The act of Congress creating the Electoral Commission provides in its second section that the commission shall exercise, with respect to the counting of the votes of States for which double sets of certificates have been sent up, "the same powers, if any, now possessed for that purpose by the two houses acting separately, or to gether, and by a majority of votes de cide whether any, and what, votes from such State are the votes provided for by the Constitution of the United States, and how many and what persons were dulU appointed electors in such State." Under these provisions of the act three main questions will be presented to the Commission for its determina tion: 1. What evidence may be submitted to the Tribunal? 2. Is the certifllcato of the Governor of the State conclusive as to the fact of the election of the persons claiming to be electors, or may that certificate be im peached for fraud or error? 3. Can the Commission accept and count, as one of "the votes provided for by the Constitution of the United States," the vote of a person shown to have been a United States officeholder at the time of the election? The commission decided on Wednes day, in the Florida case, that it would not hear evidence outside of the record transmitted to it, except in respect to the eligibility of electors, and it as signed no limit to the testimony it would receive on that point. Further on we shall show the immense ad vantage of this exception to the Demo cratic side of the controversy. The other questions are yet to be de cided, and we now propose to show that, as we remarked yesterday, the com mission cannot adopt any rule of deci sion which will not result in the election of Governor Tilden, either by the Electoral College or by the House of Representatives. If it should be determined that the certificate of the Governor of a State is conclusive as to the fact of the appoint ment of the elector, and that it cannot be impeached and ignored, either be cause of fraud or error, Tilden will lose the votes of Florida and Louisiana, but must necessarily gain the vote of Cronin, in Oregon, and thus receive the one vote he lacks of a majority. If it be decided that such certificate may be impeached, then the vote of Florida c~nnot be counted for Hayes, because of the decisions of the courts of that State annulling the Governor's actions. What the effect of such decision would be upon the vote of Louisiana, would depend upon the character of the evi denoe to he presented. Thus, which Nhora 9O thi dieiasmm& theS' b W S goohstquaes wei have indicated. But, apart from the Loutsiana ease, which has not been developed as yet, the point upon which we mainly rely and which we have always considered the strongest point in the Democratic case from a purely legal and constitu tional point of view, however humili ating it may be to have to depend upon what some persons characterize as a mere technicality, is that which relates to the ineligibility of several Republi can electors. The constitution is ex plicit in its declaration that "no person holding any office of trust or profit under the United States shall be ap pointed an elector." It is charged by the Democrats that Humphreys, one of the Hayes electors in Florida, was an officeholder at the time of the election, but evidence to the contrary was presented to the Commis sion yesterday, and sitnce there is great doubt as to the fact, wel dismiss his case from consideration. With respect to Brewster, however, one of the pretend ed electors in this State, and Watts, the Oregon elector, there is not the slight est doubt as to the fact that they were officeholders at the time of their elec Lion, and the only defense they have to mako against the charge of inellgibility is that they resigned the r oflilces before they acted as electors. This (eensoe ralies the question whether their d i, qualileatlion operated as a fai I re to Ll)' ,polnt, or crcatd'(l It vac(ancIIy Ihait could be ill'ed by the remain. lug ,l'(tors. [pon thisi point w.e have two recent precodonts. in the States of Verm(oul, and Rhode Island two itnligiblle dele tore were voted for. The Governor or RhodI Island referred the matter to the Supreme Court or the Stlate, and that court decided that the ineligibility of the elector did not create a vacancy, but constiuted a failure to ciect. There upon the legislature was convened and elected a fourth elector for Rhode Is land. In Vermont the same course was pursued. But in Louisiana and Oregon the case was entirely different. Brew ster and Watts pretend to have re signed, but we know that the former certainly continued to act as United States Surveyor General up to the 6th of December, and, indeed, has con tinued to act as such up to the present day. Therefore, he was constitution ally disqualified, and his vote can never be counted for Hayes. The Supreme Court of the United States, in a deci sion rendered quite recently, held that an offledholder, notwithstanding he may have resigned his position, re maigs an office-holder until his suc cessor qualifies and takes his place. This is a decision directly in point, and we cannot see how it can be disregarded by the five Justices of the Electoral Commission. The foregoing hastily prepared re marks embody some of our views on the electoral question as it now stands. Of course, in speculating upon the matter, we proceed up)on the assumption that Judge Bradley will continue to act in a non-partisan manner. Of course, if ho should be guilty of so debasing himself and degrading his high position as to descend to the low level of a mere Rad ical politician, it would be useless to ar gue the question of the disputed Presi dlncy from the standpoint of law and( right, but as yet we see no reason for assuming that he will so act, and we therefore remain firm in the conviction that the right will yet prevail over fraud and unscrupulous partisanship. TIE MISSISSIP'I LEVEES ANDI) TIlE SUGAR FIELDS OF LOUISIANA. The joint resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives of this State, printed in the DIMOCRAT of the 7th inst., memorializing Congress to aid in building the levees on the Mis sissippi, touches not only a matter of the greatest.materi;l interest to Louis iana, but also of great present and rapidly increasing interest to the peo ple of every section of the United States. To say nothing, just now, of the vast areas of wonderfully productive cotton, rice and tobacco lands these levees would reclaim, the products of which would soon swell the volume of our foreign and domestic trade in creasing the wealth of the country at large, the sugar fields of the State, which would be protected and brought into cultivation were the levees securely built, would alone render this great work of national importance and fully justify Congress in giving it the most liberal aid. A glance at the past and present con dition of the sugar interest of the world and the outlook of that interest will prove this very clearly. From re liable statistics before us, we find that the total product of sugar throughout the world had in 1875 reached 3,168,000 tons. But the sugar product of 1876, owing to several causes, fell off upwards of half a million tons. This falling off was not peculiar to the crop of any par ticular sugar producing region of the world. The production fell off not only in Cuba, where, owing to the protracted civil war, great numbers of extensive sugar estates have been destroyed, but also in those districts of Europe where the beet root sugar is produced. The consumption of sugar in this country and Europe increased with the rapid increase of that product anterior to 1875, and the consumption has con tinued to increase, notwithstanding the falling off in the production since that year. Indeed, sugar has almost be come in this, and many other countries, one of the necessaries of life, and the enhanced price, due to the causes just referred to, is becoming quite a tax upon the people. These oauses, those of them at least, affooting the production of cane sUgar, which,is ohefy used ip the Unst·djkt0. I@U~t Iia~ei~t jboO di4t t a' the oOUiptat the pzodt ton of sugar in the West Indies hence f rth will 'probably continue to decline while the demand for the commodity, which now, in this country, amounts to forty-elght pounds per head, with an increasing population and growing wealth, is likely to continue to increase, and sugar ought to become one of the largest articles of our domestic trade. The sugar fields of Louisiana are capable of supplying, in great part, the domestio demand, and of adding im mense wealth to our commerce. All that is necessary to vastly increase the sugar production of this 8tate is an appro priation by the Federal government to construct and repair the levees, behind which lie our wonderful cane fields, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico high up the Mississippi and Red rivers. The high price which for several years the declining sugar fields of the world will insure the sugar-planters of Lou islana for their produce, will, so soon as these levees are constructed, induce the investment of largo sums in the growing of cane and the manufacture of sugar in Louisiana. On a rough estimate the sugar and molatsses product of this State last year will be worth upwards of twenty millions of dollars. This 'rcp was produced on less than one tenth of the sugar lanmls o,f Lo,uisiana. Thus, were these lands fuily Iproteted and brought into culti vation by ait influx of capital Indl li.h( oHtablisinhment of safe and legal govcrn ment, they aro capaLibl of minrking up the great falling off in tho, ,rop o, the brlance of t.b e worli. hIlw vcast and rich an lrrntrest this i-s which the Lgislature of Louis iana solicbIts Congress to protect n n do velope ; how largely it alects. the wealth and commerce of the whole country; how clearly it touches the rich and poor of this continent and even of Europe, it is easy to calcublte from the data we have herein furnished the reader. Congress has never given a dollar to any enter prize which is more national in charac ter or of greater and more general im portance to the whole country than that which the Louisiana Legislature now asks it to aid and foster. The aid asked for will convert this State, in a few years, into a garden, but at the same time It will benefit every man, woman and child in the Union. TIlE TItIBUNAI.? I)DECISION. The decision of the Electoral Tribu nal as it just cane to us yesterday was so tortured and twisted from its true meaning that there is little wonder it caused alarm ; but now that we have it properly explained, it should produce feelings only of hope. The decision of the tribunal is that It is a court, a high court of equity and not a mere political body without rules or regulations of ant kind. Those who pretend that there lany danger in the decision to our cause forfeit all the claims of that cause, since they admit that it is not perfect and without flaw, legally, judicially and morally. There are few, however, who are so timid as to assert t his ; the general idea, which caused a feeling of dilsappointment at the Tribunal's deci sion, Is a belief that while we have plen ty of evidence to sustain our case in Florida before the Tribunal, acting ju liclally and as a court, we are cut off, precluded, from filing it by this deci sion. "Here all the error lies." (ov. Drew sent in, as part of his cer tifcates, the decision of the Supreme Court of Florida on the quo warranto case, and also all the evidence adduced in that case-evidence which was amply sufficient to satisfy the Su preme Court of Florida that the Tilden electors were elected. In deciding itself a court, bound by he rules of the Supreme Court of the United States, the value of this decision of the Florida court increases in worth a thousand fold. As it now stands, the Florida case is before the Commission in the manner of an appeal from the Supreme Court of Florida to the Su preme Court of the United States. The Commission may decide: 1. That the decision of the Supreme Court of Florida is conclusive. 2. If the commission decides to revise the decision of the Florida court, it must investigate the same evidence that was before this court and which wasM sufficient to satisfy it that Tilden was elected. In other words, the Florida case has been disentangled from the question of Returning Boards and certificates, and now rests on the point:,"Was the deci sion of the Supreme Court of Florida, deciding which were the true certifi cates, correct ?" Such a ruling by the Tribunal has been looked for, and wished for by all the leading Tilden papers of the North. The Chicago Times, of last week, in sisted that "the Commission need only inquire how the vote stood if can vassed according to law as deter mined by the Florida Supreme Court. The fact will determine whether anything has been properly certified and returned. It the votes were canvassed contrary to law, (as the Supreme Court has decided,) then the Hayes electors were not appointed as directed by the State Legislature, and the certified lists furnished by Gov. Stearns are not lawfully certified lists, but are false lists of false electors whose false votes cannot be lawfully counted. Even Montgomery, Ala., is going to celebrate Mardi-Gras with a procession. MARRIED. WISHENDORFF-BEALLE - On Thursday, February s. is5t. at Carondglet Street M. E Church. South. by the Rev. John.
