sR0LxTXQAL.,


We publ sh calls this week for three
political conventions, viz: Senatorial,
representative ana County Tie poll:
ticians have been busy for some weeks
arranging States and locating candi-
dates. A good many of the people have
also expressed wishes and preferences,
and, SO fair az we can learn, the situa::
ton. at present is about as follows. =:
The Senator seems to be conceded to
Mobiles by . majority Of the counties of
the district. Martin, however, we uni
derstand, does not concede this, but
will present a candidate of her own. In
this county,. the: candidates most prom
inently spoken of are /. N. Safer and
I. P. Durfee. Both have hold upon
the people. Mr.. Durfee seems to be
strongest with the political managers
and Mr.. Safer with the people at large,
Both are sound Republicans and pr.tc-
itical temperance men, while Mr.. Safer
is a leading temperance worker and ad-
vocate besides. u - .:''''!, a $50: ;,
The Representative, if; conceded at
all, is conceded Ito Murray, County,
though we do not know that it is. <Ev-
cry other county has had the Repre-
sentative; and Murray is the little
lion'' who has stood back until it looks
as though she were'not to "get any" Of
the Legislative Daniel, :, We have not
learned whom she will present.
5 AS to the county ticket, we hear a
number Of suggestions. For Auditor,
the present incumbent, VIM. NJ. Bear,
is understood to be a candidate for re!
election. Allan CLANCY is urged by a
number of our best men, and if the Sc
lection should fall upon him, we should
say that it could not have fallen upon
better or more fit man in Minnesota.
Charles A. Barrows is also spoken of,
and if the lot should fall upon him, he
would make a very competent officer.
For Treasurer, we hear the name of the
present incumbent, II. D. Hum;ston,
mentioned. For Re- ister of Deeds
Major Bell, the present Register, we
learn is q candidate, and the name of
B. r. Prince has been suggested by a
number of persons. Mr.. Prince proba-
bly, needs no introduction through our
columns. He is emphatically No.
man. For Sheriff, we hear, the names
of e. W. Bulls, the present Sheriff, and
C. Fl. Rice mentioned. AS to the other
officers, we hear nothing said thus far,
except rs to Commissioner. In the
First District, A. Q. Condo, of Hersey,
and J. Westinghouse, of Seward, are
mentioned. In anticipation of 4 va
cancy in the Third District, we. hear
the names of John Alley and Capt. E.
S. Mills mentioned, both of whom are
good men, and we'll fitted for the Office.
This is the situation 1T present, so far
as we can learn. We hear a good deal
about the slater being made up by
those who manipulate the politics Of
the county. Of course, any one has a
right to make up a slate,' and the
DaOp1n will COO to 70 o1;uct;nr r.

DECKER OFF.

The case of William H. Decker, ex-Ssate
Assessor of the Fourth District Of New Or.

District Municipal Court, bus tias worihy

could any one present cay precisely where
Decker could be found.
1t was intimated to The Cour' 6v somebody
THAI the whilom assessor was without its
jurisdiction. or az FEAST beyond its reach, and
if there was any desire 20 communicate with
him. it would have to be done by telegraph.
La fact, the startling assertion was made that
Decker was on the wing, and that his objec-
tive point is supposed 20 be Minnesota, the
region from whence ne descended upon Us
not many years ago.
Decker, during his term of office, managed
to gather in, illegally. various and sundry

He skipped off Sunday morning, it is now

Montaldo, it is said, is Decker's bondsman,
and he should be taxed for the amount.

THE RACES.

Already the modistes of our city are busily
engaged in preparing quite large number of
toileHes for our bellies who intend visiting the
coming races. The milliners art and skill
have been brought to bear to produce those
ducks Of bonnets and hats, which have ever
formed so pleasant feature at our spring
meetings, and the ladies'. God bless them are
on the tiptoe Of excitement over the prospect
of this gala occasion.
We feel satisfied that the coming races will
afford more sport than has been witnessed on
our tracks for years past. The horses are all
in trim condition. the track is superb,
and the grounds are now ito unexcep-
tionable ordero We look for such an outpour-
ing of our people race week as will favorably
compare wish the historic days of the old Me-
tairie, and sincerely trust that the attendance
will be commensurate with the deserts Of the
splendid programme offered.

no SEAT NO PAY.

| 4 bill has been introduced in the New 9'orl
Legislature enacting that unless street cal
companies provide passengers with seats they
can exact no fare. We have long though,
that some measure should be adopted by
which this nuisance Of overcrowding oul
street cars at times might be abated. At some
hours Of the day it is almost in possible to
occupy seat with any comfort, owing to the
fact that drivers will always stop their cars to
receive another passenger. no matter how
crowded the car may be at the time.
When a passenger gets in under such cir
cumstances some friend or courteously dis
posed passenger will be sure to endeavor to
make room for him, and this results in the gen
eral discontinue OF everybody. If a lady halls
the car, no matter if it be already fol- of tired
men returning from their daily labor, the
driver seems to think it absolutely incumbent
on him to stop and take her in. I hen, of course,
somebody has to give up his seat and stand
the rest Of the way. II ladies are so thought
less as to intrude in this way the car compa-
MES should instruct their drivers to pay no
heed to their hailing, but proceed with the
passengers already in the car.
1t IS generally known among the car com
pauies on what days and at what hours there
will be an increased demand for room in
their cars, and they should be compelled to
place at those times larger number Of cars
on the lines, for the public accommodation
We have long thought Of some expedient
by which this evil might be advoided, and
now desire to express hearty appreciation in
the plan suggested by the member of the New
York Legislature.

Rewards for His Friends.

Since the adjournment of Congress thu
President has appointed eight Of the ex-mem
bers who had been re- ected by their con THU.
ents but who voted for the Force bill, to
prominent offices, and others have secured
lucrative positions tor their relatives and
friends, while not Republican who voted
against that measure mas been able to obtain
a shadow Of Executive favor
The eight appointments are as follows
Godloye 5. Orth, Minister to Austria.
Horace Maynlrd, Minister to Turkey.
James n Tyner, Second Assistant Post
Master 6 neral.
ID. W. Gooch, Pension Agent at Boston.
Christopher {. Sheats, Sixth Auditor.

nue. for the Second South Carolina District.
l.. Cass Carpenter, Collector Of Internal
Revenue for the Third South Carolina Dis
trict.
/. A. Sheldon, assistant United States
counsel before the Alabama Claims Court.
1t is well known that some and probably all
OF these positions, aGd others to be hereafter
given, were promised before the vote on the
Force bill was reached, and in view of the
tact that eleven votes would have changed the
result, the question naturally suggests itself
whether corrupt means were not used to in
duce members to vote for the Force bill. and
1t so, who 1t was that thus corrupted the rep
resentatives of the people.

THIRD DISTRICT DRAINAGE

There has been great complaint on the part
OF the citizens of the Third District at the
inconvenience and damage caused by the over
hoWlng OF the cutters during or after every
heavy rain. In many sections the residents
have found it impossible to pass to or from
their residences, on account of the back
water.
Administrator Burke has made an in
spection of the district, IN connection with
Col T. S. Hardee City Surveyor, and it is
found that the Claiborne Canal has been
almost entirely filled with mud and deposit,

4 NATTER FOR INYEsT,G iyIOy.

The following statement of the actions O
Sheriff S Keeper II. C. Pascal is worthy Of
Investigation. 1t IS made by the friends OF
Mrs. NJ. Walsh.
Yesterday, Pascal called at the store and
and residence OF F. 2. Walsh, at the corner OF
Franklin and Poydras streets, for the purpose
of serving paper in a tax case pending
against Walsh.
| Walsh was sick and confined to his room.
His wife me. Pascal and accepted service of
the paper. Pascal called for drink, was
served, and after some little conversation
seated himself on the counter, and after a
few preliminary remarks, he made to Mrs.
Walsh % very insulting proposition The
lady appealed to her son, youth OF twenty,
who Was at the time on the banquette, for
protection, and the young man ordered Pas
cal from the store, but he declined to leave
until young Walsh was reinforced by several
friends. Pascal retired to the banduette and
threatened the boys with his pistol They
did not attack him and he left.
The matter is worthy the attention of the
Shesig and should be looked into by him.
