The New York Commercial Advertiser
thinks, should the Democracy obtain con-
troll of oursState government, they would
attempt to upset the financial redemption
of the State as it is now working out
through the medium of the funding bill.
Our contemporary has evidently over.
looked the legislation which the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives originated
and participated in, committing thereby
it's party to this policy. The supplement
tary funding bill, and the act repudiating,
and instructing the funding board to re-
ject as fraudulent the Chattanooga Rail-
road bonds, both received the unanimous
sanction of the Democratic majority in the
lower branch Of the General Assembly,
The sole remaining danger to the new
consols lay in the action of the Reppb-
lican Nominating Convention, and we be-
lieve even that to have been safely bridged
over yesterday.

The BAR0NS OVERHEARD - MAGNl
CHARTA NOWHERE,

The last shot was fred at citizen Fin
nerty by the baronial organ on Saturday
morning, and in the same issue the name
of Hon. Martin Finnerty appears as presi-
dent Of the Third Ward Democratic Club.
This is an ominous event. Hon. M.
Finnerty seems to have been the especial
dread Of the ba-onial gentlemen. He
seems to have been the proprietor in fee
simple of a building incidentally occupied
as barrelhouse. He responded that a
man may do as he pleased with his own,
owned houses devoted to worse purposes
than shortening the days of the barrel
house patrons. He might have added
that upon investigation it was once dis
covered that in London the ecclesiastical
authorities derived their revenues in
part from the industries Of unre-
pentant Magdalens who inhabited
some Episcopal tenements; yet nobody
thought Of repudiating the thirty-nine
articles on that account. Mr.. Finnerty
demanded that he should be tried on the
charge of having beaten the barons with
his barrelhouse. The gentlemen's maya
zine accepted the issue, and specified the
alleged abuses. Other baronial maya
zines joined in the cry against Citizen
Finnerty. He has put himself upon God
and the country so far as either may be
represented by the Democracy of his
vicinage, and he has been triumphantly
INDICATED as above. The baronial rep
resentatives have been compelled
To kiss the ground before young Malcom's feet,
And to be bsited by the rabble's curse.
They have been refu:ed, confuted and
nonsuited; cast out Of the very tribunal
to which they had appealed.
Honorable Finnerty has made the same
discovery with an old planter who, I'M
expectedly to himself, whipped noted
bully who had hectored over him. II
now discover" said the triumphant plant
er, that can whip you, and give you
notice 1 will thrash you in every crowd l
catch you in" Bully for Finnerty!
Three cheers for Finnerty! Down with
the last of the barons!
The unusual Eruption against the
domination of the upper classes, who
tried to take to themselves the parish
nominations, has not been altogether ef-
fected by 'the firemen, the roushs and
rowdies Of New Orleans" 1t is due
in great part to the determination of the
people to take the choice of officers into
their own hands for better or for worse.
The success of Hon. NJ. Tinnerty may
mean something of this. We should not,
indeed, be surprised to see Administrator
Burke called on to pack his political kit
and get, while President Finnerty enters
with martial music, followed by the bread

OTHER CITIES SUFFER.

We do not put much trust in the effect
of reading aud writing to convince a
skeptical people OF any truth, but we can
not refrain from citing the experience OF
New York in the loss Of q transit trade
very much on the same principle, as we
think, that has occasioned the loss of the
same commerce to New Orleans.
Mr.. Walker, of the New York Produce
Exchange, states that New York has lost
nearly one-fourth Of her grain trade. This
fact might be explained by the failure Of
crop on our part, or the want Of ability
to purchase on the part of our customers.
Mr.. Walker leaves no such inference. He
adds that other Atlantic ports have gained
this trade on somewhat the same proper
ton that New York has lost it.
The receipts of -four and grain at Mon
tresl, Boston, Portland, Philadelphia. Bslti-
more and New Orleans were 6377l ,695
bushels during the first nine months OF
1874, and 63,445,03l bushels during the first

There is nothing like speaking up
promptly, when ono is spoken to. Baton
Rouge enjoys the distinction of being the
scene of several local disturbances. One
in particular tells against the city, as q
parish Judge who had been legally elected
repeatedly, and deputy collector Of inter-
nal revenue, were driven away from the
city under threats of violence. Dates and
particulars are more fully given in the pc
tition of the suit, Davis vs.. citizens Of
Baton Rouge, to be tried by the United
States Court. The truth may be unpalata-
BILE, but there is no malice in setting it
down. So long as there are Republicans,
refugees from Baton Rouge, in this city Or
elsewhere, afraid to return to their homes,
we must conclude that the bulldozers, or
other evil spirits, have too much to do
with the affairs of the city in which the
Advocate is printed.

supply of the English and some Of the
more important continental markets al
most entirely to American exporters. Our
farmers may therefore look hopefully
upon their harvests during this centen-
NAL year, and our people generally may
glory in the assurance that the day of our
national prosperity is still in its early
dawn. We have already given bread to
the hungry and protection to the op-
pressed; let it be our aim to so perfect
our institutions that through the force of
our example we may give assurance of
freedom to the entire world.

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.

While the Democrats in Congress have
been wasting their time and squandering
hundreds of thousands of dollars of the
public money in hunting up certificates
OF character for themselves and assas-
sinating the private regulations of leading
Republicans, the fiscal year has rolled
around, and no provision has been made
for conducting the public business. On
the first Of July all the departments would
have been closed for want of funds but for
hasty joint resolution. prepared by the
Senate and agreed to by the House, con-
tinuing all appropriations for few days
longer.
The people have paid the money into
the treasury necessary to carry on the
public business, but the Democratic mem
bers. under the shallow pretense of re-
forms, impose such conditions on its dis
bursement as they hope will make polit-
ical capital for their party. The Presi-
dent sent sharp message to Congress in
which he pointed out the condition of
affairs, and the imminent danger of a
cessation Of all government payments, in
Guiding the salaries of the members. The
Democrats in the House read, grumbled
and obeyed-after fashion. It would
have been strange sight to behold the
postoffices closed, the mails stopped, the
army disbanded, the navy dismantled, and
all the department Offices at Washington,
all the customhouses closed, and general
holiday for officials throughout the land
until Cox, Kelly and, perhaps, Fitzhugh,
should recover from the fatigues of hur-
raining for Tilden and Hendricks. For
tunately, the Forty-fourth Congress will
come to an end next March,

the national committee on platform, and
q special plank for sugar and rice. The
thanks to President Grant and Governor
Kellogg are well enough, but being retro
spective, can hardly be deemed part Of
the platform Of principles by which We
are to be guided for the ensuing two
years.
Taking the proceedings Of the conyen-
ton yesterday, as whole, we see more
that is encouraging in them than in those
of the preceding four days. We hope to
be able to announce on Tuesday morning
the close of its labors, and introduce the
candidates to our readers.

THE CONVENTION.

Something like work was accomplished
in the Republican State Convention yes
terday. A permanent president was
chosen and compromise effected by
which the Feliciana delegates were ad-
mitted, with the understanding that the
question of membership in some other
parishes should remain an open one, to be
decided by the convention at any time,
without being restricted by arbitrary
rules. This is pretty well, but it would
have been much better on Tuesday, two
hours after the convention was called to
order. A platform was also adopted, SO
that nothing remains in the way of i'm
mediately proceeding with the business of
making nominations at the meeting on
Monday.
While We may justly complain of the
unnecessary delay, and the ill-natured,
unfraternal wrangling which caused it,
We can safely say that no irreparable in
jury to the Republican party of this State
has yet been sustained. The loss of time,
the fierce wars of words, and the shame
less attempts to corrupt delegates which
have been openly made, are certainly mis-
fortunes to the party, and afford infinite
delight to the Democrats, who in turn
may prepare for some such surprise as
we have experienced when their delegates
assemble in Baton Rouge. But these dis
agreeable features are but transient in
their nature, and will readily disappear as
soon as proper State ticket shall have
been nominated. And present indica-
tons are decidedly promising for such q
result at an early hour after the meeting
Of the convention on Monday. We are
assured the contest is now mar
rowed down to one between two or three
gentlemen, any one of whom will be en-
tirely acceptable, will be able to poll the
full party vote and command the respect
Of that large class of citizens who call
themselves non-partisans, though they
are generally somewhat exacting and par
ticular as to whom they vote for. These
hopeful views are based upon the opinion
that most OF the voluble delegates have
delivered themselves of the speeches with
which they were charged to the muzzle
when they came to the city. Many Of
them have spoken dozen or fifteen times
and can not be expected to say anything
new. After this storm of words we may
reasonably expect calm, and during the
quiet the working men of the Convention
will of course transact the business they
have been elected to attend to.
The platform, in addition to reafirm-
ing that adopted at Cincinnati, embraces
the proposition of Mr.. Henry Demss, for
the maintenance of the levees at the
national expense, which was rejected by
