QUITE INTERESTED.

The DEMOCRAT Is highly gratined to
have aroused the Press of the city to
the Importance OF requiring the police
Of Now Orleans to understand that the
public looks to them for the suppression
of the bunko dens and the bunko
thieves, at last becoming so insupport-
able in their open defiance Of the laws,
and in their wicked snares for the rob-
berry Of every unwary stranger walking
our streets. It was with difficulty, even,
that the first card Of Many Mer-
chants" calling attention to the
bunko williams, could find space
enough, as we were told, In theinewspa-
pers for its insertion, and the card when
inserted was not received with any par
ticular enthusiasm or notice Of its mean
ing. The papers have evidently seen
the importance Of the subject, and are
now full Of the subject, and, singular to
say, they appear to be all moving in the
same direction.
We again, too, while upon the general
subject, congratulate our Conservative
friends Of the Press here on the marked
improvement Of their columns, by
what we cannot but regard as an ap.
parently much healthier tone and spirit.
No one, a stranger in the city, would
think now Of confounding any OF them
with the New Orleans Republican on a
sort Of neutral or mixed ground OF feel
ing and policy.
The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-01-27

We learn from New York exchange
well informed from the Washington
City standpoint Of all news Of general
political value, that there is new
movement here for the removal OF Pease
Postmaster at vicksburg, the Amcs
men being very anxious to get this
mark of the Presidents favor &c
strengthen them in Mississippi and keel
them at the head Of the Republican
party.
The question of Ames' Impeachment
still hangs undecided In the Legislature
Mt Jackson. A significant circumstance
is reported from jackson. At a recent
local election here the Republicans have
carried their entire ticket. The ma
jority OF candidates were white men,
men of substance and intelligence, and
thus the ticket was popular. A repub-
lican, not of the Ames' wing, writing
from there, says:
BY taking such a course throughout
the State we can form party that will
be lasting, but to make the party con-
sist only Of carpet baggers will insure
our defeat always. 1t is "a rope OF sand
1t is reported that the Ames leaders
say II Senator Alcorn wants to be taken
back into the Republican party he must
first sit on the stool Of repentance
They acknowledge that his leadership
would be an advantage to the party, but
they will not take him back unless he
eats humble pic.

A PLEASANT REuNIoN.-As q substan-
tial evidence Of the high appreciation
in which the Rev. A. j. Whitherspoon
is held In this community for his labo-
rious and useful work as an Evangelist
and City Missionary, his numerous
friends determined to give him a
"Pound Party" which took place at his
residence, 1s7 Terpsichore street. Tues
day evening. About 200 OF his friends,
by common consent, dropped In unin.
vited, each bringing present OF some
useful article in housekeeping, not one
OF which was TO be less than q pound
avoirdupois. A barrel OF flour, sugar
and hominy, hams and all sorts
OF staple and fancy groceries, flowed In
~ perfect stream, and made his tables
and the shelves of his larder groan and
creak, while two handsome new clocks
reminds him of the fight Of time. The
good gentleman was fairly overwhelmed
by these numerous tokens OF good will,
and could scarcely find words to express
his feelings Of gratitude and pleasure.

FOREIGN WAR.-In England, as we'll
as on the continent, great fear seems to
prevail Of q general European war. The
chief Of the British army, the Duke OF
Cambridge, in speech made short
time ago, said that it was great mis-
take to suppose that the danger Of a war
with China was past, and that not only
were England's relations with Burmah
still critical, and not only was England
involved in difficulty In the Maylay
settlement, but that the general state Of
things on the continent make general
war a great probability. He also added ::
"It may be before we are many weeks
older. The state of affairs is really SO
serious that it is really impossible for a
man in my position to dwell too strongly
upon it,

WHO ARE REspONsIBLE!

The Board Of Police Commissioners
having acquitted the Chief of Police OF
all responsibility for the immunity en-
joyed by the bunko thieves In this COM
munity, tho question arises, Who is re-
sponsible? The Lieut.. Governor Of the
State, by virtue of his Office, is Presi-
dent Of the Police Board, and the Board
is appointed by the Governor. Now,
then, Kellogg claiming TO be Governor,
and Antoine claiming to be Lieut..
Governor, must DO the RESPONSE
BILE parties. Mr.. Kellogg, especially
must be held responsible for the fact
that the bunko business fiourishes
"like a green bay tree" In this com
munity? He has several times been
seen riding In this city with an individ-
ual known us "a SPORT" identified with
tho bunko thieves, and the Board OF
commissioners appointed by him has, in
the very face Of the evidence,
acquitted the Chief OF Police
OF all responsibility in the
matter. Kellogg, acting rs Governor, up
pointed the Board the Board appointed
Loan, and Loan has failed to suppress
the bunko business. The impression
prevails In the community that there Is
n mysterious connection between the
bunko chiefs and the usurper, and II the
latter does not receive pecuniary com
pensatiop from the thieves, he
certainly influences the Police
Board and the Chief OF Police to tole-
rate bunko, In consideration for any
services he and his party may require
from the thugs and rufflans Of the city,
whom the bunko men may be able to
control in his behalf.
Tie acting Governor OF the State Is
the party primarily responsible for the
open and audacious pursuit of the bunko
business in this city.

ASTRONOMICAL Prophecies. study
Of astronomy has now been brought to
q state OF perfection scarcely credible.
Among the astronomical predictions OF
Prof. Kirwood forithe next twenty-five
years, we select the following as the
most remarkable md interesting: .
Tho only opportunity to behold. dur
ing this century, u total eclipse Of thu.
sun, will be in colorado on the 2sth OF
July, 1878. Thers will be u transit OF
Venus, visible 10 tho United States. on
the 9Th Of December, 1882. A total
eclipse Of the moon, only partially visi-
bic in this country, will take place on
the night Of tie a3d Of August, 1877 !;
another ON October 4, 1854, and another
ON December 27, 1888. A total eclipse
of the sun VIII be visible in Virginia,
May 20, 1900. A meteoric shower may
be expected come time between 1885
and 1885, There are other prophecies
Of equal interest. which we are unable

powers possessed by that government
which is popularity but very Incorrectly
spoken OF as the organ OF that aggre-
gate, are delegated and strictly nmited
powers. But delegation imports supe-
flor from whom authority comes, and
that superior history proves to nave
been the people of the respective States
each for itself. On no occasion has any
other people attempted to assume such
q position.
The true theory OF the Constitution Is
very simple. The original source OF oil
power Is the people OF the several States,
who received this sovereignty by the
treaty Of 1883 from the King OF Great
Britain, to whom It had previously be-
longed. The Federal and State govern
ments are coordinate agencies OF this
people; to the former OF which was dele
gated certain specified powers pertain
ing to their common interests, and to
the latter, general governmental author
ity over their local and domestic affairs.
The supremacy Of tho constitution OF
the United States and the laws made In
conformity Herewith, on which Mr..
Ray lays such stress, is only u conse-
uuence of this distribution Of powers and
equally attaches to legislation by the
State under the reserved powers. Leg
islation by Congress under u power con
ferred by the constitution Is supreme In
Massachusetts, not because II emanates
from higher source than the people
of that State, but because that people
have designated Congress as their agent
on that subject. Where they have not
done SO the action of Congress Is null
and void. and any conflicting action q
the Legislature Is the supreme law
This is well illustrated In the case oil

The ball given by the Washington

Hall was most decided success. The
beauty Of tho city was most happily rep
resented, and all seemed to enjoy them
selves; In fact they could not fail to do
so, when dancing to the music Of very
fine band was the great attraction. The
Hall was handsomely decorated with
the flags OF every nation, In common
moration OF the Centennial year, and
for the first time we had the satisfaction
Of seeing the blue and gray uniforms
commingling in peace and harmony.

The following cable dispatch, we
learn from good authority, was received
on yesterday by u prominent banker In
this city:
AMSTERDAM, July 2G, 1S76.--It Is ru-
mored that the payment OF the coupons
on consols is stopping.
What Is meant by the sender Of the
dispatch, is that a rumor prevails that
interest on the bonds issued by the
Funding Board has been arrested, We
understand that Mr., Kellogg at once re-
piled that the rumor was not true, and
that interest was being paid and would
be paid on all the said bonds.

The motion to reconsider the vote by

Let Him BE Impeached.

One day last week one Of the colored
members Of the House OF Representa-
tives charged the Chief Justice OF the
State with having stolen railroad.
crossties and all. The public in this
State are too we'll acquainted with the
story Of Chief Justice Ludeling's con-
nection with the North Louis
lana and Texas Railroad ring to
treat this charge with indifference.
The fact that the Supreme Court Of the
United States has also declared that
Ludeling, in his relations to this road,
is a swindler, strengthens the charge
Of Murrell against the Chief Justice,
and we think the House should
inquire into the propriety OF Inn
peaching Ludeling on the authority of
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
II not upon the asseveration Of Murrell.
