The candidates for the city and

seven candidates for the Constitu-

cans, and two Democrats. The Com
mittee say, In their address, that it is
believed that the gentlemen who have
been named as delegates to the Con-
stitutional Convention are sufficiently
we'll known to assure the community
that the following views will be faith
fully observed in their action.
/. That all attempts to introduce
private and partisan measures In the
Constitution shall be resolutely op-
posed. o--
z. That the compensation of all
officers shall be salaried at fair and
reasonable amount, and that all sur
plus fees and perquisites shall be paid
into the public treasury.
3. That the Legislature shall be
prohibited from imposing taxes for
special purposes upon counties, cities,
or towns, without their consent.
4. That special legislation for
classes and corporations shall be
efectually curtailed, and that the
most careful and strenuous measures
shall be devised to protect the people
against the encroachments of monopo-
lies. The leading editors out of three
of the four American Republican
papers OF this city were on the COM

Remarks OF the Picayune on the
custom House Investigation.

NEW ORLEANS, September "a
The PicGyune says: For some time
past Investigations have been going
on In the Custom House Of the books
as far back as Kelley regime. Tt
has been discovered that during Kel-
logg's administration large frauds
were perpetrated in a manner so bold
aud fagrant that It would be an
insult to the intelligent official then
in Office to suppose that they were not
cognizant of the facts. Vessels Of
comparatively small tonnage have
cleared from this port with cargoes,
apparently of whisky. on thar aanl-
tests, that ships of three Or orr
times their capacity could not h-fe
slowed away. Imaginary merchants
of Honolulu and Greenland have re
ceiyed on paper, many such consIgn-
ments, which in reality were sent west
or put on the market here.

THE Bulls and Bears Of Wall Street
had a gay old time yesterday. Many
a Bear got severely gored, and not a
few Bulls were squeezed until their
ribs cracked With gold Jumping
about from s134 to s1.64, the slain
must necessarily be many. Secretary
boutwell,. it seems, has entered the
arena for the purpose Of establishing
peace. He throws $4.000,O0 on the
market to-day, aud if that will not
calm the Bulls, he propose to repeat
the dose on Monday. We apprehend
that will efectually lay out the gen.
tlemen who have labored SO zealously
to derange business generally by Gre
ating a gold panic. The Secretary
viii have the thanks of every business
man IN the country for his prompt in
reference.
Since writing the above later dis
patches represent that Secretary
BoUTWELL's order to sell gold was
not received in time to save the
Bears, and that the Bulls poeketed
about eleUen million dollars as the
result Of their days operations. The
Gold Room excitement seems not
to have affected legitimate CONNER
cial transactions to any consider
able extent. Government securities
declined a little, but soon rallied.
The operations to day will be regard
ed with interest, for they will show
whether the speculation yesterday was
based on anything more substantial
than a temporary combination.

Railroad Tax Election ordered In

The Commissioners of Pike County
have ordered an election to be held
in that county in October for the pur-
pose of deciding whether the county
viii consent to a tax of two per cent.
on the taxables of the county for rail-
road purposes. IF the tax is voted
the amount will be divided equally
between such roads as may be built
through the county. Two roads are
talked of. the old Evansville Straight
Line, and the New Albany and st.
Louis Air Line. There is not, in our
opinion, the slightest probability that
the Straight Line road win be built;
and the friends of the New Albany
and ST. Louis Road, we think, may
certainly calculate that the total
amount Of the tax will be applied to
this road IN 4. Commercial.
The Commercial is very much mis-
taken. The Straight Line Road will
be finished long before the Louisville
and st. Louis enterprise. Let the
people vote. the assessment with the
understanding that the first road
finished through the county shall
have it, and we will soon see which
of the two routes will get the money.

Wall street VIVA.

New YoRK, Sept. 24.-To. day has
been -Hnexampled In the history of
Wall Street for excitement. The price
of gold opened at 145 and was forced
up to 1876, at which figure the bears
made some settlement. Atthis prom
inent bulls offered 100 for So, 900. 900
and the price went up to 164. At this
figure several foreign bankers threw
heavy amounts on the market forcing
the price down to 1898. This, togeth
er with the report that the Secretary
of the Treasury would sell 81. 600. 900
tomorrow and 81, 600, 600 on Monday,
forced the price down to 135. The
bulls made a rally and again got the
price up to 160 This did not last a
great while as the bears again rushed
the price down to 134 amidst the most
tremendous excitement. The price
at 2 o'clock was 135, with the excite
ment unabated.

THE Courier, yesterday, displayed
good deal of malice and it's usual
indiscretion in an article entitled "A
Petty Piece Of Malice" The ocoa-
sion for the display IS found in the
fact that on Wednesday evening the
City Council ordered Mr.. BATEMAN,
former City Engineer, to locate some
inlets leading TO the Third Street
sewer.
The Courier itself has repeatedly
announced that Mr.. SAUNDERS, City
Surveyor, was busy this week organ
iz;ng corps to make a preliminary
survey of the Evansville & Carmi
Railroad. The Council, therefore,
had right to conclude that Mr..
SAUNDERS had abandoned his posi-
ton Of city, for that of railroad, En-
gineer. We have been informed that
Mr.. SAUNDERS has designated Mr..
WHITTLEsEY as the proper person to
attend to the duties of City Engineer
in his (SAUNDERs) absence, but it
seems that the Council can not see
that his authority reaches that far.
OF course, Mr.. WHITTLEsEY' disap-
pointment In not having the Council
endorse the selection by Mr.. SAUN-
DERs has nothing whatever to do
with the CoRrierS attack upon that
bodyl That paper is never Influenced
by small personal considerations of
that character.
We presume, if Mr.. SAUNDERS re-
mains in the city and discharges his
duty as City Engineer, he will not be
supplanted by the Council If he
takes another position, aud abandons
his Office, the Council will be pretty apt
to appoint whomsoever it pleases to
fill the vacancy. The threat embodied
in the following and closing para.
graph of the Courier's article will only
occasion q smile Of derision:
If the Surveyor is continually to be
annoyed IN his-ofheial action by the
Council for partisan effect, the Courts
ua- pOSs4bly pIONluS remedy IN
making a restraining order to keep
that body within the bounds of its
legitimate action. The order to secure
the services of another Surveyor to
do that which the properly elected
city officer had already done, is one
of the many ridiculous blund per-
peirated by the present board of city
fathers. s.
The idea of a Council annoying a
Surveyor in his official action for par
tisan effect" is decidedly good! We
hope the Courts may take hold Of the
matter, as well as of sundry other
matters connected with the Surveyor
Office, which a little ventilating may
do good. Pitch in-Who's afeard.

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Standard
Of to-day says: Whatever her Iegiti-
mate claims to Cuba may be, Spain
labors under a disadvantage in haY-
| ing to prosecute them in the face of
the susceptibilities of the American
people, while she is herself In a con-
dition of rebellion. The Americans
cannot wish for anything else than
that Cuba shall be free to choose
whether she remains with Spain or
becomes an Independent republic
That material fassistaneeis rendered
to Cuba through the sympathy which
the Americans feel for her, cannot be
doubted, but if those sympathies
should demand war, it would be the
most anamalous and extraordinary
conflict ever seen. ~
LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Times to-
day, In an article on the letter Of
Father Hyacinthe, says: Itis to the
Pope and his Jesuit advisers that We
are indebted to Hyaeinthe. Without
the idea of council, he might have
continued in the discharge of his Of
fee, occasionally startling his hearers
with sudden flashes of the truth that
is In this, yet bearing the accustomed
yoke, and allowing himself to be ac-
counted the luminary of the church
of which he is now considered a fire
brand. The Pope would scarcely
dream of rebuking him in the same
manner. He contended that Father
Passagalia, the noted Italian theolo-
glan, was an opponent. of the temporal
power. Father Hyaeinthe's letter is
not the production Of worldly spirit;
it is the effusion OF a soul in earnest,
and is the first utterance Of a word
which may take root, and grow, and
fructify.
