senting the bill, addressed the Convention. He
spoke of the two systems Of banking. The system
of 1872 was infinitely superior to that of 1857; ex-
perience had proven this. Their merits had been
amply tested. In 1857, which were the banks that
went by the board? Free banks, it has been
shown, cannot sustain themselves in times Of
trouble; then why should this Convention hesitate
| to decide which is the best system? The speaker
dwelt upon the act of 1912 and its beneficial effects
and set forth the measure of safety provided in the
bill before the Convention, in not allowing any
bank to issue circulation greater than IS per cent
of its capital. As to what the gentleman from ST.
Landry had said, about there being no safeguards
against inflated paper circuations, he would state
that there are safeguards of the most binding
kind. The officers Of banks are put under oath,
and there are legal modes of prosecution and pun
ishment for such officers if they should violate their
oatls or in any manner dcfraud the public. In re-
ply to the gentleman who had said that this Con-
vention had nothing to do with the banking sys
tenn he would state that it is the Of the Leg
isature that they have no power under the Const
| tuition Of 1852 to act on this question He here
read the aority report of the Joint Committee OF
the Legislature on question connected with the
| subject under debate.
Measrs Walker and Bush interrupted the speaker
to ask questions not material to the main ISSUE
Mr.. Bonford answered these questions; and reas-
serting that the Convention certainly has power
to act on the matter before it, and concluded by
hoping that the motion of Mr.. Girard Ito strike
out the enacting clause) would be rejected by the
Convention.
Mr. Bush rose to make an explanation concern
ing something said in his previous remarks, and
nr0ceeded to reitcrate his ODnositon to the Con-
vention acting upon the bill beforeit The measure
had not been discussed by the people when this
Convention was elected; and he maintained that
the whole question belonged to the Legislature.
Mr.. Estlin rose, and said that as the hour was
late, and that as it was apparent that gentlemen
had much to say upon the measure before them,
he would move an adjournment, to meet tomorrow
(to-day) two hours earlier than usual; that is, at
| 10 o'clock.
The motion was put, and the Convention so ad-
| Ourned.

destructive and most exciting fire broke out
at about half:past O'Clock yesterday morning, in
the undertaking establishment of Mr.. Smith, on
Chippewa street, between Toledana and Louisiana
avenue, in Jefferson City, but only half-a square
above the upper line of New Orleans city and
parish.
The entire square in which the fire started was
destroyed, with half the square toward the swamp
and half the square toward the river; an area oi
about two squares. The wind was high, water was
scarce, all the buildings were of wood, and the
clouds above spread the glare of the confagration
below into an illumination which lit up the city
and the country for miles around.
About fifty small tenementS, occupied by poor
families, destroyed before the flames could be
stayed. The rush and panic of the unfortunate and
distracted families, dragging and encumbering the
streets with their furniture, was scene not soon
to be forgotten.
The Hook and Ladder men did signal service at
this fire, as did all the firemen of New Orleans.
They did not consider the fire out of New Orleans,
though geographically it was, aud would have gone
a mile or two further outside of Orleans parish had
it been necessary. 1t was not Jefferson City, but
the Fifth District of New Orleans, that our iremen
felt they were visiting.
The total amount of property destroyed is esti-
mated at about $4,000. But as tall fell upon poor
tenants and much of it upon small property hold
ers it was three times as distressful as any fire
could be in any well-settled or commercial part OF
New Orleans.
