The People are not Indignant, and
Won't Shut Up.
SOME FEW POLITICAL SUGGESTIONS

The people were yesterday requested t.
become indignant in two distinct degrees
One was a high. toned, financial and com
Inercial indignation, which was willing t.
let its animOsity irradiate the City Hal
steps; the other did not pan out heavily Oh
respectaDility, and naturally sought to hide
itself anywhere within tho precincts Of the
"whited sepulchre," as municipal head,
quarters was once irreverently christened
by a disreputable carpet Dagger with
sEoulder-strape.
/ The high toned and respectable did not
| close their banks and insurance shops. but
! the central marts Of necktes, socks and
| children's underwear were Theoretically
sealed for half an hour or so; but alas alas!
on this day Of popular Democratic uprising
| not single rum mill shut its doors
Not even the Times suspended operations,
/ bl5 ingeni0usly palmed off on the news
| boys fraudulent bandbiiI, which the news
boys found they could not get rid Of until
| they innocently cried it as ''P;c0yu,te ex-
| ira" This device sod a few, but was
more prolific Of curses than nickels from
the deceived purchasers, who found that
| they had paid good money for impudent
advice to shut up.
TIE PRACTICAL POINT,
and about the only one made at the meet
ing lif We except the cold which our young
friend Page Baker caught was the demand
Of Colonel McEnery that the people should
not only open their hearts but their purses
lie recommended that Isabelles govern
ment should be erected at the proper time
without giving Us the least intimation as to
when that calamity might befall, but
frankly announced that this could not be
done without mDney-which the "indig-
naDt" people were called upon to supply, as
the treasury was beyond his reach. Such
buttoning up Of pockets, and sloughing off
from the outskirts Of the crowd. when this
lntimatiOn was made, never before was wit
messed at an indignant meeting.
AT THE STATE HOUSE
Governor Pinchback pursued the even
tenor OF bis way, calm, dignifed. but mod
est withal. His communications with
Washington were in excellent tone and
temper and demanded nothing but enforce
ment Of the laws.
The fact that he had commissioned Hon.
A. P. Field as Attorney General, upon the
official returns laid before him, is nnder-
stood to have put new phase upon Mr.
Ogden'e representations at Washington.
Mr.. William G. Brown was also commits
stoned as State Superintendent of Educa
ton.
TIE EIGHTH DISTRICT COURT
will shortly become subject for Iegisla- |
tiOn, it is given out. 1t is contended thac
the establishment cf this tribunal was in |
tended to work an Improvement in our iu- |
dicial system, but that the object has not
only failed, but proven source Of legal !
discord and confusion, which is likely now
to be increased. A bill to abolish the court
is to be introduced, but whether the late |
election has not vested right in the per
son recently elected is a point we submit
for the consideration Of those who c0ntem-
plate this action. Judge EImore has not
conducted himself so as to win or deserve
5he sympathy OF Republicans. yet his legal
lights must be considered and respected.
THE CITY HALL

ion and violence, buru an immense amount

ON CARoNDELEr STREET
here we're few brokers or spectators, but
round the fire in snug brokers Offices,
the situation was warmly discussed. Il
