Democratic State Convention,

New ORLEANS, April lS.-The Demo,
cratic State Convention assembled at
noon in the National Theatre. The
Democratic colored element numbers
three voters. Judge Ogden called the
Convention to order, and proposed Gen.
A. Declauet, OF St. Martin, as temporary
chairman. Messrs. Fucheter and Judge
Voorhees, conducted Mr.. Declauet TO

Extensive Indian Fighting

Fighting Indians in Montana is evil
IDENTIFY an expensive luxury. The bill
for the expenses of battalion OF troops
which was raised by the Governor oi
that territory in 1867, for a brief Indian
campaign, has just been sent in to the
General Government. The Inspector
General having examined the items.
reports some astonishing facts. Among
the articles purchased for the troops
were tobacco at So 50 per pound, tea at
"a 80 per pound, dried apples and
peaches 50 cents per pound, buffalo
robes S25, and whisky SIC per gallon.
The cost OF the food for each horse was
s. per day, and the cost Of clothing for
each man S207 besides his buffalo robe.
Before the accounts are audited
the Inspector General should not
only ascertain what sort Of meats these
high priced Cnsars fed upon, but
wherewithal they were arrayed. The
regimental apparel of the late James
Fisk, Jr, on festive days, could hardly
have eQualed in gorgeousness the S2OI
suits in which the cavaliers OF Montana
chased the unbreeched Indians over the
plains. The Government ought to
know if when Montana expects every
man to do his duty, she expects him to
do it in broadcloth, green kids, satin
neckties, diamond studs, monogram
sleeve buttons, silk hats, aud gold
headed canes. If SO it would be NOR,
economical for the Government TO boar,
Montana volunteers and horses at som
first class hotel, and send oat regular

Mr. Townsend, OF New York, intro
duced bill suspendng further cancel.
lation OF three per cent certificates till
the Is. Of January, 1873. Referred to
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency.
Mr.. Conger, from the Committee on
Commerce reported a bill permitting
the tunnelng OF Niagara river for the
purpose of supplying pure water to the
city OF Buffalo. Passed.
The bill to incorporate the Great Salt
Lake and Colorado River Railroad
Company, and to grant it right OF
way through the public lands, was
taken up and the main question or
dered.
Mr. Hooper, Of Utah, desired to offer
an amendment to provide ag ginst the
company monopolizing the right Of way
through the canons and defiles Of the
mountsins, but Mr.. Dunnell, who had
charge Of the bill, declined to allow the
amendment to be Offered.
Mr.. KilIinger objected to the bill
because it allowed the company five
years within which to commence opera.
tions. He feared the company would
want to barter its privileges. He sug-
gested an amendment requiring twenty
five miles of road TO be built in one
year.
Mr. Dunnell intimated that Mr.. Kill
fingers objection to the bill would be
obviatei il the company was required
to use American iron. The company
was not supposed to be ready at once
to build a road of $50 miles, but the
work would commence within a rea'
sonable tine.
Mr.. CIoggett, of Montana, supported
the bill as one which enabled persons
outside of the Mormon Church to ob.
tain a foothold in Utah, and he asserted
that the policy Of the Utah Legisla'
ture has been to grant away every foot
of land and every laudib.e right and
franchise in Utah to members Of the
Mormon Church.
Mr.. Hooper, OF Utah, denied the
assertions of Mr.. Clogyett and defended
the Mormons, eulogizing their enter
prise. industry and patriotism. He
stated that the Mormous had already
built railroad link from Salt Lake to
Ogden, on the line Of the Pacific rail-
road, and were engaged in extending
line from Salt Lake City to the southern
boundary of Utah, having already built
twenty-one miles Of the road and
expecting to have one hundred mile:
built this year and two hundred miles il
two years more.
An angry alteration ensued between
Messrs. Cloggett and Hooper, the for
mer adducing instances TO prove asser

latter contradioting or explaining them
Mr.. Hooper said he did not concur
with the delegate from Utah in hl:
admiration OF Mormon institutions. He
desired to say so in order that the
delegates speech might not be attribu

lie hoped he would have the support
of the Senator from South Carolina,
Mr.. Robertson.
Mr.. Robertson-You will, sir.
No day was assigned for the bill:
from the Committee on Disabilities.
Mr. Conkliug objected to the assign,
ment of any distant day to any special
bill or class OF Hills, and said he be,
lieved that Congress caaid anu o"sh'

Mr.. Buckingham said he hopeu 'ne
Senate would postpone the considera-
ton Of Mr.. Fenton's bill till after the
Committee on Investigation and Re.

testimony bearing upon the subject,

also that the Committee on Commerce
was considering a bill on the same
subject - custom house reform and
would soon report it.
Mr.. Windom called up the bill to
amend the act of 1868, making grant Of
lands for the improvement of the chan.
mel Of the Mississippi river below Min.

ished business.

of lands sold for direct taxes in the
lately insurrectionary States was taken
up and passed.

a number of bills relating 10 the District
of Columbia.
Mr.. Sumner called up the bill to
secure equal rights in the public schools
OF Washington and Georgetown. 1t
abolishes the colored public schools of
the District, and provides for the admis-
sion of negro children into white schools
on equal terms with white pupils.
Messrs. Bayard and Stockton both
opposed the bill as a measure fraught
with great injury to the colored people,
the thinking class OF whom had not
asked for the measure, and would not
thank Sumner for it,
Mr.. Sumner declined to reply but
insisted on the passage Of The bill.
Several motions to adjourn were made
and the Senate finally adjourned with
out action on the bill.
