sent for several clergymen, many of
whom declined to respond to her invi.

Mr.. Emery did call, and conversed with
the dying woman on the subject Of
death and eternity. The inmates ofthe
house, about dozen in number, also
solicited the prayers of the Reverend
Divine in their behalf, and exhibited
great pcnitence and contrition. Since
that time many religious persons have
called at the house of afliction and con-
tribu.cd their advice and prayers ia

tlnguishcd gentleman from the South was
in town. from whom he had learned that
tie Louisiana Convention would meet on
the 3Oth for the revision of the State Con-
stitution, and that amendments would be
adopted DISTINGUISHING the rebels and en-
franchising the loyal Inhabitants without
distinction Of color. II Congress should
be in session when this Constitution should
be adopted, 10 could, IN accordance with
the precedent established In stle Rhode
leland case, accept IL and thus give Il
validity as the Constitution Of the state.
In the Rhode Island case the supreme
Court decided that Il was tor Congress to
decide which was the constitutional gov-
ernment of any State in which doubts eX-
istcd II Congress should not be IN session,
long time must elapse before action could
be taken the new government of the state
might fail to get foothold, and the coun-

DO not forget the Primary Meetings to-
morrow night To use the language of the
Journal, We hope tho ''common mass" will
be OH hand. After the experience of the
Abolition Convention, we would prefer
that merchants and manufacturers should
not be too active. Above all we would
doubt the policy of their being sent in a
body as delegates We can prove by any
Intelligent Republican that it don't work
well.
The notice of the Central Committee as
to the places of meeting in the Wards will
be found elsewhere. The hour is eight

Protection to the Farmers.

A funny provision or two is embodied In
the new tariff bill passed by the House and
postponed by the Senate till next Decem-
Der. 1t is this:
y tax of ten cents per bushel is imposed
upon Indian corn or maize. Whoever
heard of the Importation of Indian corn
into this country? And how transparent
the disguise of attempting to say to the
producers of corn in the West, you are pro-
tected by duty OF ten cents per bushel on
your staple, as well rs the Eastern manu-
tacturer on his productions? 1t is a very
tlimsy dodge. So, too, imported hay Is
subjected to an impost duty of one dollar
per ton, when the chances are about one i'm
a million that hay will ever be brought
from abroad into this region of grass. But
the prohibitionists can eXultingly ask why
the Northwest should complain when the
tariff protects from foreign competition
two of our great staples of the West?
With such worse than chaff as this, the
dcmagogues Of Congress, in the interest OF
the cotton-weavers and iron -mongers, arc
imbeeile enough to suppose that the greai
agricultural masses of the Northwest, can
be wheeled into the approval Of their vile
scheme of class legislation, for sectional
and individual benefit

A Mistake. We Think.

The Journal parsdes the fact that the Ma
tionsl debt was reduced by 12G millions of
dollars. Not quite so fast. We clip from
the Journal Of Monday the following Off
cial statement

Debt less cash IN treasury on August LIST,

Debt less cash in treasury on August 1st,
1866, S28S3, ,090, ,276 IS.
Reduction, $l24, ,lb3,999 30.
The trouble is in the arithmetic. The
reduction is only cwenty-four millions, and
not l24 millions.
- That amount Of reduction is nothing at
ALL when we remember that the people paid
20 tho lnited States governments during
the same time $50 millions Of dollars, ot
which 10 millions was in gold for customs
&c--leaving 536 millions of dollars for ex-
travagant, reckless expenditures in ali sorts
