The Convention.

The Convention to be held in New
Orleans on the first Wednesday in
January next-to be composed OF
all the elements opposed to Radl-
calIsm : will have nsltters of the
deepest Importance to consider, and
should be composed of the best men
from every parish in the State. Men
of contracted and narrow views will
not be needed there. The aspira-
tons of men seeking to be leaders,
with a platform Of rule or ruin,,
must be checked. The people OF
Louisiana are determined to shake
off the shackles OF Radicalism, and
earnestly desire every true lover OF
his country to assist in the regene-
ration of our State, Calm. qniet,
determined counsel, will be needed
in the Convention. All men have
their prejudices, which must not be
aroused, but spirit of compromise
among ourselves ought to pervade
every member OF the Convention
Compromises shat have been hereto
fore made with the enemy, however.
doubtful the authority by which.
they were made, ought to be observ-
ed-although very distastefnl to
| many of us. But, if we understand
our people, they want no more com
promises with men who have de
monstrated again and again, that
they are utterly void of honor aud
honesty, and will not hesitate to VIC.
late their most solemn engagements.
Among ourselves, we want the larg-
est liberty. Yet we can achieve
nothing, unless we'have a rallying
cry, and there can be no other than
/ that of-Denocrats to the rescue!
/ We have no time to talk about
Imitation, Contraction, or any other
issue, that may obtain prominence
in National politics. Our house is
on fret When wesubdue the flames
we willtake out policies of insurance
for the future !; but it is very certain
that we will never patronize a Radi-
cal insurance company. The out
look is cheering, and if we are pru.
| dent. our beloved State will soon be
relieved from the terrible incubus
that has been SO long resting upon
lher. Virtue and intelligence once

men, and thieves! and perjurers will
Ebave to hunt new fields for the eyer

IT. Our poor laws are about the most in
trieate and hard to understand of any, and a
vast amount of " red tape " is necessary some
times in order that persons may obtain as
sistance. An instance of this kind, of a local
character, is mentioned by Trenton paper.
1t says:
" A few days ago the Oyerseer of the Poor
of the township of Delaware, in the county
of Hunterdon, came to Trenton with an or
der of removal from two Justices Of the Peace
of said county, bringing with the order one
Charles Hunt aged about 65 years, a very
decent looking person, but disabled by in.
trinity. He had been thrown upon the chart
ties of Delaware township, and not being very
charitably inclined, the authorities began tt
examine into the history of this s,ld rosiden,
of IIunterdon county. They found that he
had lived all his life in the township of Della
ware, but had never acquired any real estate
in that township They found also that Mr.
Hunt had come to Trenton fifty years ago
and became an indeutured apprentice in lS2i
to one Arthur Williamson, blacksmith, re-
siding and doing business in Bloomsbury
then in the county of Burlington that after
serving for one year and four months as such
apprentice, he returned to Delaware town
ship, and remained until infirmity compelled
him to throw himself on the township. Find
ing that he had lived in Trenton as an linden
tured apprentice for one year, they have re-
solved to shift the burthen of supporting the
old gentleman on the city of Trenton. But
in the opinion of our legal adviser the claim
has a gauzy appearance, and he has directed
an appeal to be taken. The service Of tht
appeal was acknowledged yesterday, and Mr.
Hunt will be returned to his home in Della
ware township today to await the trial as to
whether he belongs to Delaware or to Trenton
The old man put in manga good days work
for Delaware, and paid the township his
taxes. lie can neither pay or work now, and
Delaware don't want him."

For THE RECORD,

Mr. EDITOR :--If sblunder is worse than
crime" what fearful responsibility will
attach to the Assessors of Hunterdon County
for the year 1874. 1t seems to be true beyond
question that the Board of Assessors of our
county in that year made 6laader in their
work of getting at the amount of taxable
property in the county, by which some three
millions of dollars more was returned to the
Comptroller of the State than should have
been and in consequence the county must
pay over to the State Atis year, ten thousand
dollars and more of tax than would have been
required is the work had been properly done.
The proportion of this amount that our city
must pay will not be less than about sir hun
dred dollars Shall we continue to be so in
different to the qualifications OF those per-
sons selected for Assessors? it behooves every
one to ask himself. And it is not neces-
sary to go North or West, or in any other di-
reefiop to look for the need of improvements.
We can begin right at home. venture to say
that our city could well afford to pay the usu-
al salary of Assessor TO one patriot from each
Ward, on condition he minded his own bust
or persons could be put to the Business of as
scssing the taxes, in legal, careful, just and
busness-like manner.
There is one fact mot very creditaBEo TO our
human nature perhaps) that | think every
business man will attest, and it is that q large
proportion, say tiyesixths, of the mistakes he
is called upon to correct will be against him,
although there is no good reason why the ac-
tual ones committed should not be about
equally divided. The disproportion is far
greater where the public is one party and the
individual tho other ; in that case I fear it
would reach ninety nine hundrcdths. How
important it is then thar the work of our AS
SCISSORS should be correct, mistakes telling as
they do almost invariably against The public.
am surprised, Mr. Editor that these Tax
Payers. lately so exercised about the expcns-
es OF our city, have not been after these bliin-
dering Assessors true they are most all DEM
ocrats, and the blunders and extravaganza of
that party may be more excusable. 49,

a. Tie nanssraon Democrat contains

t. Tie Eanssrdcn Democrat contains
some good suggestions as to the celebration
OF the approaching An Of July, and proposes
meeting tomorrow Thursday at the
Court House in Pennington, to carry these
suggestonsinto execution so far as this county
is concerned. 1t says:
sit seems proper that the local celebration
of the Fourth of July, 1876, which will be
held throughout the land, should be made to
contribute to a permanent historical memorial
of the Centennial Celebration. In each county
provision should be made for the delivery of
an address tracing the history of that par
ticular community for the past century, or
from the time of its settlement, and including
o sketch Of its growth, its resources, indus
tries. prospects, etc. These addresses should
be published in uniform size,-that Of the
Congressional documents, for instance, in
order that they may be bound together by
States. To competent persons the prepara-
ton of such addresses would not be an nnduly
burdcnsome task but in the aggregate they
would constitute an invaluable historical re-
pository such as no nation has ever had the
opportunity to collect. Designations of the
historians ought to be made without delay, in
order that they may have time to accomplish
their work. 1t is to be hoped that the press
will give general circulation to the project,
and that each journal will see to its consum-
nation iu its own locality, and that the slight
expense involved be assumed by the county
or town authorities. M
g 1t is suggested that the citizens of this
county meet on Thursday, the 2Sd day of De-
cember, 1875, at 2 o'clock P. NJ, for the pur-
pose Of selecting some one to write an Essay
or Grafton to be read at the Court House, in
Pennington, on the 4th day of July next, and
to carry out the suggestions of the Centen-
NAL Committee. Said meeting is hereby
called for that day to meet in front of the
Court House when it can be adjourned to
some suitable hall. Come one come all and
select your Historian"
