The daily Graphic proposes to pno-
lish the portraits Of distinguished idi-
OTIS, and asks persons who a estab-
lish their claim to stand In the front
rank, to send in their photos, names
and biographies. BY way OF caution,
the Graphic adds: Contributors to
the gallery must be careful to write
upon each photograph or sketch the
name and residence Of the person 1t
represents, so that no idiot will be
credited to an unjeserved locality, and
there will be no danger Of confounding
the IDIOTS with the statesmen and other
prominent persons whose portraits are
naturally looked for in the illustrated
Journals Of the day"

CHIEF JUSTICE McKEAN. Of Utah.
refuses to admit polygamists to cit
izenship. IN a recent case no was
very severe in his refusal, saying such
men would not make good citizens
and had no right to come there to prac-
tice a crime, which In their own coun-
try would send them to the peniten-
tiary. We consider the moral attitude
OF Judge Mexican emlnently correct.
OF the legal status We know nothing.

New ORLEANS, Nov, 24.-The delegates
to the Peoples Convention assembled this
morning at the st. Charles Hotel and from
thence proceeded to McEnery's office where
the Committee OF Seventy, with the dele
gates adjourned to Grunewald Hall, on Ba-
rome street, which had been chosen for the
session. The hall is tastefully decorated,
with numerous inscriptions, profusion of
flags, the bust of Washington, Clay, Web
ster and Chief Justice Martin being promi-
nent.
At a quarter to II o'clock r. II. Mari,
chairman of the Committee of Seventy,
called the convention to order and named
DR.. Chaplin, temporary chairman, and L.
L. Maxwell, temporary secretary. These
nominations were adopted unanimously.
DR.. Chaplin, on taking the chair, said he
did so because he believed every man in
Louisiana should contribute his mite in
this struggle for liberty. A Committee on
Credentials and Organization was appointed
when a recess of half an hour was taken.
After recess the Committee on Organiza-
tion nominated Judge w. B. Eagan, of
Caddo for President, and Thos. l.. Max
well, of New Orleans, Secretary. On mo-
tion the nominations were accepted. Judge
Eagan, ON assuming the chair, addressed
the convention reviewing the situation OF
the country. Other addresses followed,
and after the appointment of the usual
committees the convention adjourned until
10 A. VI. tomorrow.

WANTED TO KNOW

An old friend called to see us the
other day and wanted to know three
things:
l. The political difference between a
Republican and Democrat.
2. The clearly enumerated principles
of both parties.
3. Who, at this time, is able to ex-
plain.
Don't all speak at once, brother quill
drivers. but allow some one who iscom-
petent to draw up the papers. We ac-
knowledge our inability to sift all of
the wheat from the chaff, and will thank
any one for doing it-BOIiUdr Bulletin.
Between a Liberal Republican and a
Radical there is no difference. Be
tween Democrat and Radical, there
is about the same difference as between
an eagle and a bull-bat. For the DIFF
ference of principles, conduct, and pol
icy in the administration of the Gov
ernment, read the history Of the coun-
try before the war, and its history
since. Compare them, and you have
the ansWer,-ByO1UnsUi States.

SEARCH WARRANT FOR A WIFE.

We clip the following from the
Franklin, (Ky.) Patriot:
The gossips around 'Old Mitchells-
vile" have got their hands full, for an
eventhas transpired at that well known
and fomerly notorious locality,
which has no parallel in its previous
history. We believe it was last week
that a carpenter at that place married
a young lady, the daughter of widow
ed lady whom we shall not name. The
bridegroom, who is an industrious fel-
low, curtailed the honeymoon and re-
sumed his labors, whistling merrily, at
times, we suppose, as the thoughts OF
his peculiarly blissful situation came
over him, and little thinking to what
dismal depths Of sorrow he was soon to
be precipitated by the hand of faith
lessness. Well, the long and short OF
it is, he went home one day and found
his wife was missing. An inquiry made
at her mothers revealed the fact that
there was something sin the wind, .
and that his wife had, by the assistance
of her mother, who had strenuously
opposed the match, and a male cousin
been hidden from him, and that unless
he bestirred himself, he might never
fold her to his heart again. He got out
a search warrant and ransacked the
premises-explored the house from bot
tom to top, looked under all the beds
and punched all the ghostly garments
hanging in dark wardrobes with a stick
but all to no avail. Then he explored
the farm, but without success. Aftel
breaking in upon the seclusion of the
different out-houses, he gave one long,
lingering look into the hen-coop, anC
the search ended. His wife had evi
IDENTIFY departed with her cousin ant
there is no telling what our carpenter
friend is to do about it.

PITTS E e R G..
"Irregularities" in the City'S
Finances.
some s5I4.OOO Missing.


PITTsBURG, PA. Nov. PA meeting Of
the Finance Committee Of the City COun-
Gil was called this evening to investigate
rumored irregularities in the finances ofthe
city. A Sub Committee developed the fact
that there has been an informal issue Of
water bonds, the Secretary ofthe committee
having effected certain negotiations with
the National Trust Company of this city,
which suspended few days ago without
knowledge of the commission. A letter
from the city attorney addressed to the
chairman of the Finance Committee states
that the facts thus ascertained are as fol-
lows: Money proceeds of bonds soldon de-
posit at National Union Company
223, 900; bonds left with bank
for negotiation, waterworks, $4,000;
bonds left with bank for registration, SD
street improvement, S50,000-less a credit
of $4,000. The water loan and street
bonds have been to the best Of my informa-
ton hypothecated by the bank in Philadel-
phia as collateral security for the payment
of obligations of the bank The S223, 700
proceeds of the bonds sold should have
been deposited in the city treasury, but it
seems was placed in the National Trust
Company in the Secretary'S own name.
There IS now S514,000 in bonds and money
in this condition, but it is believed to be
secured to the city, as the stockholders of
this bank are individually liable.

THE PRICE OF HOGS.

: From the st. Louis Republican, Nov. 21.
The Grangers in some parts of this
State are fixing the price of hogs at 81,
and resolving that they will not sell for
less; they will kill and pack them, on
their own account first This is the
first attempt of farmers to fix the price
of their crops, and, with all our good
will for them, we must say that the
attempt is not likely to succeed. The
difference to farmers between $40, the
present market price of hogs, and 81,
is considerable; but at the time when
all prices are tending downward, 1t is
impossible for either hog ralsers, dry
goods dealers and manufacturers to
say that they shall stay up. One of
the reasons, indeed, the chief reason
why dry goods are falling in price is
that farmers will not buy them at the
September prices; as they prefer to do
without them. For the same reason
the pork-packers refuse to give 81 for
hogs; they think they cannot do 1T and
clear themselves. When prices
are tending upward, buyers cannot
fix a limit above which they will not
buy. and when they tend downward,
sellers cannot fix limit below which
they will not sell 1t is question that
the inexorable law of supply and de-
mand must settle. The farmers COM
plant of low prices is universal. Stocks
of nearly all kinds are being disposed
of at sacrifice, to force them into con-
sumption and to raise money. Debts
must be paid, and some Of the largest
Eastern merchants are at this very
time trying to meet their obligations at
a cost of hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars. 1t may be that the present price
of hogs will not pay the cost of raising
them; but that cannot be helped; farm
ers are not the only class of
persons who are selling at less than
cost. Any man, farmer, merchant.
manufacturer, OF what not, who is out
of debt, has a right to say that ne will
not sell his property till he can get
certain price for it; but a man who owes
debts due and becoming due may not
take this privilege; it is his duty to
meet his obligations, even II he has TO
sell his crops, his goods, or other prop
erty at a sacrifice.

BRIGHTENING PROSPECTS.

From almost every quarter comes
some cheering sign. The worst seems
now to have passed, and improvement
appears to have set in. The Southern
cotton markets are becoming active,
through the aid of British orders. At
the Western cities collections are more
satisfactory, and borrowers are less
numerous, while some National banks
have begun to discount quite literally
for their customers. At Cincinnati the
banks are receiving large amounts from
maturing paper, though they have not
as yet felt able to materially extend
their lines of discount. A considerable
increase of depositing and check
ing indicates greater anlma-
tion in business. In Pittsburg
the collections from Western debtors
are yielding a steady influx of money,
which is strengthening the banks
against the fears excited a few days
ago. At Cleveland the feeling is de-
cidedly better. and loans are easier to
obtain. At Chicago, though little or
no money is to be had on long loans,
and the market is tight, there is more
to be had than ten days ago. In BOs-
ton more than million pounds of wool
were sold last week, mainly by manu-
facturers, which indicates that the fac
tories are not likely to be stopped for
long. In nearly all branches of trade
in the latter city hopeful feeling ap-
pears, and a reaction in prices appears
to have begun.-Ne10 York Bulletin,
