Mississippi at ST. Louis.

c. E. Wright, Esq, editor of the
Vicksburg Herald, attended the ST.
Louis Convention, as "a looker-on in
Venics." He says of the Mississippi
deiegation:
Mississippi may well feel proud of her
course at st. Louis. She acted consistently
from the beginning. She went TO support
the strongest man, and TO subordinate in
terests OF all kinds to success. and she did
20, first. last and all the time. With her
name linked to that Of the great Reformer.
she will ii sht the good fight, and show the
great result in November,

The Difference.

Bristow was the reform candidate for
Presidential nominee on the Republican
side, and his highest vote on any ballot
was only 126. Tilden was the reform
candidate on the Democratic side,
and received All votes on the first
ballot, and 73S, making the whole
number, after the announcement of the
second ballot. Lesson: the RepubIi
can party is not party except in
profession tire Democratic party is a
reform party in practice as well as pro
fession.

FACTS FOR THE CANVASS.
The Reduction of Expenditures
and Taxes Under Demo.
cratic Rule.

To every branch and department of
the public service the Reform Legisll-
ture chosen by the people last year applied
the pruning knife of retrenchment vigor-
ously and effectively. Let US present
some Of the results
LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT. For the
six years of Radical rule, from 1870 to
1876 inclusive, the annual average cost
Of this department in round numbers
was s165, 900. The Reform Legislature
appropriated for that department $780,
900. 1t passed constitutional amend
ment under which tine Legislature will
meet biennially Therefore, the annual
expense of the Legislative Department
will he 1000 under Democratic rule,
against SI65, 900 under Radical rule.
JUDICIARY DEPARTMENT For the
SIX years of Radical rule, the average
annual cost of this department was
1912, 900 The Reform Legislature ap-
propriated for its maintenance for the
year 1876, $4,000.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.-The av-
erage annual cost of this department.
| including the Executive Contingent
Fund, was $50, 900. The appropriation
for 1876, under the same heads, by the
Reform Legislature, was s31, 900.
| COMMISSION FOR AssEssING.-The
average annual cost of this service
under the six years of Radical rule
was s55 900. For the year 1876, it will
be but 81, 500.
| PUBLIC PRINTING.-The average an
nual expenditure for this service under
Radical rule was S66 900. Under Dem
ocratic rule for the year 1876, it cannot
exceed S24,O 900.
| PENITENTIARY.-Th establishment,
under Radical rule, cost the State annu-
ally an average of 81, 900. Under
Democratic rule, it will not only be self
sustaining, but will yield an income to
| the State, besides saving to the taxpayers
the cost of transporting prisoners.
DEPARTMENT or EpUCATIoN.-The
aggregate salaries paid to County Su-
perintendents under Radical legislation
was $48, $40. Under Democratic legis-
lation, so, 9O5-annual saving to the
taxpayers s37 ,345.
COMMENTS
Not only are these large sums
saved to the taxpayers from the cormo-
rants who were feeding on the proceeds
of labor and consuming estates, but
there is a vast improvement in the
capacity of the persons who have been
called to the public service.
THE RESULT.
The consequence is that while the pub
lie service is more efficiently performed,
the expenditures are reduced more than
-third-the State tax has been re-
duced from six and a quarter Nails to
three and a half mills on the dollar for
the ordinary purposes of the State gov
eminent, and the boards of supervisors
of the several counties are prohibited
from leYying tax which, with the State
tax, will exceed sixteen dollars and fifty
cents OF & property valuation of one
thousand

LOUISIANA RADICAL CONGRESSIONAL

NoMISATIoNs.- They are as follows:

1t will be seen that Warmoth has gone
back to his wallow with the Radicals,
not having found the bonanza he expect

Retrenchrl1ont-

That the reform Legislature Of 1876,
cut deep into the various departments of
the State government and pruned of, in
each one numbers of the extravagances
which ornamented % them by virtue OF
Radical legislation has often been asserted
by US. This fact is so well known that
none will attempt to refute it.
We give the amounts saved by the
reduction Of expenses in two of the de-
partmentS of the State government.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
The aggregate salaries paid the county
Superintendents of Education amounted
to:
Under Act of 1873. ......... S4S.3i0
Under Act of lS76 ............. l0,9O5
Reduction in salaries -.-.- s37,435
Sa.ary OF Sup't 1875 -...........S2 500
= = 1876 ....---..-...- 1000
Reduction in salary of sup't 500
Total reduction in salaries. 49,. S37, 935
We have not the data before Us TO show
what reduction there has been or will be
in the amounts paid to teachers, bur feel
assured that it will be considerable. The
amount known to be saved is, as has
been seen, S37, 935 in this department
alone, yet its efficiency has not been i'm
paired in the least. In fact We are conf
dent that there will be a marked inn
provement.
DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION.
Appropriations of 1878, for salaries,
Appropriations of 1876, fer salaries,
etc. .-..-.......-.--.-.. Ioo
Reductions in salaries .....-...... 50 600
Certainly the reduction of expenses in
this department has in no way injured
the State. There is a Clear saving
in these departments alone of S43, 535,
which in itself is large amount to
an impoverished people.
