PKOCKKDINGS OK TIIK COMMERCIAL CONVEN
TION. New Orleans, La.. December 3. The
convention having adjourned last evening
to mutt again ut 10 o'clock this morning,
the dchigates began to put in an appearance
at that hour, and by ti quarter to eleven, it
sufficient number having arrived, the meet
ing was called to order by President Fitz
hugh Lee, of Virginia. The president in
formed the convention that one. member of
each delegation wtis entitled to a s":it ou
each eomniiU 'c appointed, and r.-qnestcd
the delegations to select their representa
tives, and hand in the names.
On motion of O-ncrul Rtissey, of New
Orleans, the roll-call was dispensed with;
also the rending of tlio minutes.
A communication from E. Martinez, con
sul for Venezuela, was read and Kpn-ad on
the minutes."

regarding the improvement of the Mississip

Hon. JelTerson Davis, of Mississippi,

While speaking, Mr. Davis was interrupted
by a request to step upon tho stage in order
that all the delegate might get the beue
lit of his remark. Tim request was com
plied with amid thunders of applause that
fairly shook the house. A greater compli
ment could not hnvo been paid to the peo

to hear the first rending.

FROM THE FEDERAL CAPITAL.
Washington, Deccmlx r 4, 1878.
Tlit! opening day of congress was not of
s)cciul interest in cither house. Senator
Blaine moved an inquiry into the subject of
equal rights of v iters at election, and rep
resentative Wood sharply criticised that
portion of the Prebident's Message which
asMimc that voters in the south were in
timidated ut the November election. Ho
called attention to the fact that there was
intimidation by government official un
constitutional officials in New York city,
and that Mr. Hayes had omitted to con
demn them. Nothing was done tir pr"oscd
as to the contemplated investigation of the
"oipher dispatches." It seems to be under
stood that, unless the radicals precipitate
such investigation, the Potter committee
will, at an early date, undertake the work.
There is. as heretofore said, a disposition
on both sides tu evade the discussion of dis
turbing questions until later in the session.
Mr. Thurman stated a profound truth
when saying that under our form of govern
ment there had been, and must ever lie,
two parties one a party of the jtcople, and
the other of class and privilege. Any can
did man who reads the Biiunal mcssaire of
Mr. Hayes, or the report of his secretaries,
w ill not fail to see that the party, which is
not of the people, but of class and privil
ege, is the party to which these gentlemen
belong. Even Mr. Schurz, red Republican
us he was, and theoretical Democrat as he
thinks ho is, invents new Federal offices,
and asks congress to appropriate money for
them. The secretaries of war und the
luvy cling to the old abuses,
and the old excrescences. The Attorney
General asks for money to pay a legion of
officers unknown to tin spirit or letter of
the (institution. In all the messages and
rerts ordered printed by congress yester
day, there is not a suggestion that any su-
pertluous oflicer maybe dropped, that sny j
dollar nny be saved" to the tax-paver, or!

INlhft commerce between the Mississippi
hiuI the Pacific ocean. They count their
net profits by the tens of millions. Against
the proposition tor thu construction of an
other transcontinental lino which will com
pete for thu traffic, they vigorously kick.
They proclaim thut sueli a line us thcTex-i
Pacific is not needed, as Huntington i
building a "southern Pacific railroad,"
which will give the South every facility it
wants. So talk the Chicago 'Tribune, the
New York Times, and other Huntington
organs. We learn, however, from Hunting
ton's organ, the San FranciSoo Bulletin, tint
he propiihes to build his branch road direct
ly away from the South, to meet the At
chison, Topekit and Santa Fo railroad, ami
run through Kansas. Morley. the civil en
gineer in charge of the preliminary snrvev
of the Atchison. To-rvka und Santa Fe rail
road corroborates this announcement of
Hunlinrrtou's organ.
It may occur to nnv Southern neotilo who
have liwu-nd to thu Huntington talk ulsiut a.
'truly Southern Pacific road" that it is all
fol-de-rol. His organs have been playing
on that string for a long time, slandering
the Texas Pacific Company, and telling the.
Southern people in effect, that Huntington
proposes to run a Southern transcontinental
jintt right up to every man's door. His rci.1
mention is to avoid the South altogether, as
we have shown, and he will switch off to
Albuquerque and make, with the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, simply a
second track from , thu Mississippi to'thn
Pacific for the monojKily.
