ANOTHER D1ssENTRR. Representative
Yocnm declines to sign the call for
meeting Of the Legislature. for the fol.
lowing reasons:-
My sense of duty to the people COM
pels me to decline appending nv name
to this call. Without discussing the
constitutional question involved, must
say that 1 have no confidence that If the
General Assembly did meet, it would
furnish any remedy for existing evils.
Indeed, am bound to believe that the
proposed remedy would only increase
the disease.
During it's recent sesaion of 1O7 deys.
the General Assembly had ample oppor.
tunity to correct known evils, from which
Il, the people still suffer; yet it did nothing.
Those evils, in my opinion, can only be
corrected at the ballot.box.
The General Assembly cannot, or will
not, remedy them. The Treasury is
empty; the pnblic schools throughout
the state have closed, or must soon
close; the asylums of charity and the
houses for the insane, which oiyilized
communities maintain throughout all
financial emergencies, are, for want Of
public funds, kept open solely by private
credit; and yet it is proposed that the
General Assembly shall convene, and
thus absorb the moneys that will be paid
into the Treasury for delinquent taxes in
the month of June. The General As
sembly certainly can do nothing to re-
store the broken-down credit OF the
State. It cannot raise the value of our
securities single cent, for nobody will
trust either 1t or the State officers. It is
looked upon by the people at large as a
Scotch witch, that may do great deal
OF harm, but can't possibly do any good.
Moreover, I do not think it lust that
tbs people Of the State should be put to
any extra expense to relieve the public
institutions in the present emergency, as
there are several of the State officers who
might we'll furnish the means to carry on
the government out of their own pockets,
without asking to be Reimbursed, or
having any claim upon the gratitude of
the people for such q contribution TO our
public conscience fund. "Where is our
Financial Agent?" Understand that he
has not settled up with all the Senators.
Has this got anything to do with the
proposed meeting of the General Assem-
bly,? 1t it has, the Financial Board
should make him pay up, as they are au-
thorized to require him to make settle
ment of all his accounts.

The Democratic Convention of the
great State OF New York has in effect
endorsed Greeley and Brown. It has
fairly and enthusiastically committed
itself to. the Cincinnati platform. It
thus puts behind it the whole record Of
the war. accepts the work Of the war as
final, constitutional amendments, negro
suffrage and all, lifts itself from the
slough Of continuous and certain defeat,
and turns hopefully toward the problems
OF the future. The Empire State is in
full accord with Virginia, Illinois, Texas,
Connecticut, South Carolina and the
rest. "New York casts her sixty six
votes for Horace Greeley"

SLEEPING ON RAILROAD TRAoK-
HE PENA1TY.-The night train on it's
way to Florence Saturday, when within
milo of its destination, met an obstruo-
ton in two men-one white and one
colored- sleeping on the track. It was
impossible to do anything to avert the
disaster, as they were not discovered
until it was too late. The cowoatoher
threw the colore1 man out of the way
without injuring him, but mangled the
white man, causing almost instant death.
The names of the men could not be as
certained.

The RELEASE OF THE HAVANA SrU-
DENTS. King Amadeus has at length
taken some action in regard to the stu
dents who, because OF their thoughtless-
ness in the cemetery at the grave of Gas
tanon, were cast into prison. There ia
no necessity to recount the terrible tra-
gedy by which a number Of the compa-
mons of these youths were sacrificed by
the Cuban volunteers last November.
After months Of imprisonment. these
boys, we are told, are pardoned by the
King: But what kind OF pardon? Re-
leased from prison, the prison garb re.
moved, they are placed on board q ship
and sent to Spain. Their parents and
home are in Cuba, yet these boys are to
be .pardoned by being banished from
their native land. Perhaps. after all, it
is for the best. Did they remain in
Cuba. the bloodthirstiness Of the volun-
teers might lead them, on the slightest
provocation. to crafty their revenge on
these unfortunate youths. Banishm ont
and pardon ore possibly Synonymous
