SOvereignS of Industry.

Such is the name of a new secret order that
We are informed is making rapid headway
and meeting with astonishing success through
out the Middle and Eastern States Its plans
and purposes are almost identical with those
of the Patrons of Husbantlry. yet embracing a
field OF labor that is entirely unoccupied bv
the latter. The Farmers Grange is confined
exclusively to persons interested in agricul-
tural persuits, while the ''Sovereigns of Indus
try seek to include within their membership
the mechanics, artisans and laborng men and
women of the whole country who are not ell
gagged in the cultivation of the soil.
1t is organized, consequently. to meet what
is considered an imperative need of large num-
bers of the industrial classes to dispense
among them the social, intellectual and mate
rial blessings from which at present and to a
great extent they seem to he effectually de-
barred. These two orders are in reality but
the arms of one great body. Though limited
to distinctive spheres Of operation, their aims
and interests are essentially alike. To the
producers represented by these organizations
the world is indebted for a great proportion of
its wealth. and in their fraternal cooperation
it is hardly to be doubted that great good Will

LOUISIANA BONDS. - Foreign Bondholslers
Pfotesting.-The purpose of the visit of Nc
Emery, Mari, Janin, and company, to New
York, is to find out the number of Louisiana
State bonds of questionable character, which
secret agents of Gov. Kellogg are negotiating
in New York, to be used and funded by the
Kellogg ring, under the new funding bill. The
process to be carried out will be this Coy
Kellogg, under the bill, appoints the Funding
Commissioners, who will be members of his
ring, and they pass upon the validity of all
bonds, and those accepted by them will be
funded at sixty cents on the dollar, including
accrued interest, which has not been paid for
three years. The newly constituted funded
bonds are made constitutional, from the fact
that, If the people adopt the new consttu-
tional amendment, it takes these bonds out
side of all future interference by legislation,
and makes this debt part of the organic law
OF the State, and all other obligations are
made invalid, and will be virtually repudiated.
as all bonds not accepted by the funding com
missionefs are Cancelled and destroyed on the
spot, like so much mutilated federal currency,
under provisions of law. If the bondholders
do not sec ht to accept the provisions of this
funding act after the Governor, by proclama-
tion, notifies them to appear before said COM
missions, the same will be barred in one hun
dred days after such proclamation from any
benefit thereof Against these infamous pro-
visions of the law the foreign bondholders are
protesting and appealing, it is understood,
to the federal authorities here for protection,
through their diplomatic representatives, who
are taking measures to present the same to
the State Department hence, the Kellogg per-
fdy may yet draw the United States Govern
ment into unhappy and embarrassing eompli-
cations. Judge Campbell and Gov. Warmoth
have been employed by the foreign bondhol-
ders to act with their diplomatic representa-
tives in caring for their interests with the
General Government Washington dispatch.

sUMNER's PLAN. - A correspondent of the
Chicago Times recently interviewed Senator
Sumner, and drew him out ON every topic
which has been made, or which it is proposed
to make the subject of legislation by Con gress.
Among other propositions discussed, the Sen
ator made known his plan in respect to the
suggested mode Of electing a President. His
plan is, simply to abolish the secondary stage
of election by the electoral colleges, and
choose the President by direct popular vote,
irrespective of State lines, requiring only
majority of all the votes given to elect. But
in case Of the failure of any one person to re-
ceive majority OF all the votes given, then
Mr.. Sumner would introduce secondary
stage of election, not by small body of chosen
electors, nor yet by the chosen representatives
of the people, but by holding second popu-
lar election, in which the voting should be IL
mited to the three persons having the greatest
number Of votes at the previous trial. He
would also abolish the superhous Office of Vice.
President, and in case of the death or reno
val of the President, would devolve the Ex-
eeutive office on the oldest Cabinet Minister,
or the oldest Senator, with the requirement
that Congress should. within thirty days,
order new Presidential election.

THE UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION AT GENEVA,
SwITzERLAND.-Th details of the great Uni
versal Exhibition, to be held in Geneva in
1879, are nearly complete. The plan for the
building has been prepared by NJ. Jules Cha
tron, the architect of the Lyons Exhibition.
The structure will occupy no less than 100000
square metres, apart from &C, 600 reserved for
purposes of establishment. 1t would stand
in a matehless position, close upon the side of
the lake. Its galleries are intended to radiate
from central cupola of magnitude hitherto
unequaled In the centre Of this will rise a
mighty column. from which the whole inte-
rior of the editice may be overlooked, while
extreriOrly a glorious scenic panorama, dwarf
ing all the efforts OF art and man-so says the
Patrte de GeRsve-will expand. Around are
visible Lake Leman, i'll it's full range, the Jura
the Swiss Alps and Mount Blanc, with myriads
OF accessories Of lesser note. As the public
highroad will come between the building and
lake, it is proposed to connect them by sus-
pension bridge, having the aspect of triumphal
arches. and spanning down to jetties prepared
for the occasion. The structural plan EN-
braces vast orchestral concert hall capa-
BILE of holding about 1000 musicians, and, more
over, colossal organ.

1t would appear that the Postofice Depart
msnt or some other man. has particular
spite against the New Orleans Pieayune. On
several occasions recently it has failed to
come at all, and the issue of the sth only
reached us on the 10Th, while Tuesdays paper,
that should have been received on Wednes-
day, arrived Thursday, and the one due on
that day is still between here and New Or
feans-if it has not gone on an excursion to
Texas.
Probably, if Major Seyle would "interview "
some of the postofiice officials or mail con-
tractors ON the route between here and New
Orleans, it would have the effect of regulating
matters somewhat

A eleam of candor irradiates the columns of
the Republican. Speaking of the Unfortunately
high fee-bills of the officers of court, and the
fact that the chiefs leave all the work to be
done by an expensive set of deputies, that
organ of the party in power admits that
''tfere is no competition, and if litigants want
justice they are compelled to buy it at very
high price, As the Republican appears just
now to be engaged in the very laudable at
tempt to have the current expenses of the
State government reduced, we will not take
advantage of an admission which, if it had
come FROM Fusionist, would have been stig-
matized as the rawlings of an unregeuerated
and rebellious spirit.-N. o. Picayu,se.

timed remarks on the Louisiana muddle:
There is nothing of greater Importance
than what is now going on in Congress with
fact, the destiny of that State-its final ruin
or tardy atonement for the wrongs inflicted
upon it-whicl is now being debated; and
with the solution of that question, not alone
the fate of one of the most important sections
OF the Union, but also, in great measure, the
prosperity of the whole country. may be said
to be closely connected, for it involves not only
great material interests of immense value to
the North, as well as to the South, and its sat
isfactory adjustment would be an act of poll
tical wisdom, q pledge of reconciliation, and
a measure of high public morality"

General Ewing, of Ohio, who thought some

have to change It's name, merge and ell the
rest of it, was present at the late inauguration
of Governor Allen, has rubbed his eyes, and
sees, in the language of the Enquirer, that
there is but one thing to be done for the sal
walton of the country. and that is for the
Democratic party to hold its ''nozzle agin the
bank" so to speak.
