The Bloomington appeal is An accredited
organ of the Independents, and in setting
forth the aims of that MASSIVE organiza,l"u
speaks by authority. The following, accord
ing to the appeal, are the great cardinal
points of reform aimed at by the party:
lst The issuance of national greenback
currency in sufficient volume to reduce inter
est to per cent, this money TO he "A legal
tender for all debts and interchangeable with
government bonds at a low rate OF interest al
the option of the holder.
I'd. Rigid economy In every branch Of the
public service, and the election and appoint.
ment OF none but honest meu 10 Office.
Sd. The enforcement of rigorous laws for
restraining the extortions of the transpnrta
ton companies.
The idea OF reducing the rate of INTEREST by
multiplying greenbacks is certainly novel
and ought to be patented, Experience, how.
ever, seems TO cast doubt on the value OF
the invention. When greenbacks were mul-
upled so rapidly from 1862 to 1864 MS to he
worth but 35 cents on the dollar, the rate of
interest on money rather went up than down
The idea of insisting on rigid economy in
every branch of the public service" Is also
entitled TO be patented for IFS novelty. How
singular that no other platform constructor,
ever bit on that idea!
With the other two great reforms accom-
plished, No. 3 ought TO follow of course
With money plenty and interest so low tina
every body can borrow all he wants, and al
our public officers "rigidly honest exloriol
by transportation companies would he shee
folly.

A Patriotic old soul.

Uncle Zeko Longhorn has been in
town for several days. He sold his
cotton, put his wagon and mules In u
wagon yard, and has been spending
most Of his time trying to find out
what is going on in Louisiana, and II
there is any later news about Florida.
The old gentleman has just drank
enough to be confidential and
rebelious. He has deposited his money
with friend, and draws just enough
to keep him mellow and wobbling.
The old lady will be in after him to-
day and march him oil to the farm
and fall blowing.

An attempt to break jail was made
by some of the prisoners night before
last. When discovered, hole had
been made nearly through the wall.
The necessity for new Jail, has been
pointed out for years by The HERALD,
but the county finances have not per-
mitted of our having one built. The
county debt should be funded under
law of the legislature, which is need
ed. This would keep county scrip from
being sold at a ruinous discount, and
with the back taxes collected, the
county finances would be easier,

A Remarkable Letter from a Notable
Man.

A Remarkable Letter from a Notable
Mr. John C. Hamilton, of New York city,
son Of the great American statesman, Alex
ander Hamilton, wrote letter to friend
in this city (Mr. w. X. Rogers), under date
of November 6, in which he saye: II have
Just seen ThurlOw Weed. He tells me that
he is extremely anxious about this State.
A letter from the chairman of the State
committee Of Louisiana, just read to me, is
positive of our success there. Chamberlain
is confident as to South Carolina, and if we
carry Oregon, those two States and Flor
ida. we shall prevail. In some aspects
which l will develop as to the future; l
would not regret suoh q result as loeing
New York. 1t brings before the country
two great facts-intimidatio at the South,
and frauds unexampled at the North. Then
you will see that an amendment to the con-
stitution proposed by my father is the only
effective remedy" The amendment, We be-
lieve, was to have the presidential vote
cast by single districts instead of by States.
Mr.. Hamilton proceeds: "If We lose the
electoral vote it must and will be remem-
bered that we shall have lost Mississippi by
mere intimidation. The last census proves
this. And should Tilden be elected because
of the loss, the precedent of the Democrats
in 1889 as to the vote in New jersey for
members of Congress will be telling one"
Mr.. Hamilton then makes some reflections
upon the supreme value of the national
idea to the republic, and concludes with
the noble words: Il feel that would die
as John Brown did rather than surrender
our government to Southern or any other
rebels"

which has been regularly organized and is
successfully working under constitution
and bylaws adopted September %, 1876,
will give its third musical soiree at Grune-
wald Hall on Monday evening next. The
active members of this society include the
names of nearly one hundred OF our best
yocaIists and instrumental musicians. The
objects of the society are for the purpose OF
bringing together socially the musicians OF
the city and their friends, and for "the cul-
tiyation of music, as well as the develop
ment of the public taste fer art" Similar
societies in other cities have been very sue

enough in this city to give entertainments
of the most agreeable character, as tne

The Returning Board.

Nothing official has been made public rel
ative to any future action of the Board OF
Returning Officers in regard to the filling
of the vacancy. Speculations on the prob
able choice have no foundation except the
general reputation of the gentlemen men
toned. 1t is stated that no Democrat
would accept position unless another va
cancy was made, and colleague OF his po-
Iitical bias selected to fill it. As none OF
the members have manifested any intention
of resigning, this determination may Of
neceesity cause the selection of Repub-
lican or the keeping open of the vacancy.
In regard to the admission of others than
members to the sessions it is said commu
nication will be addressed to both political
parties, suggesting the appointment of five
representatives from each. This will be
determined on to-day.

The Assessment Matter.

New ORLEANS, November l., 1876.
Editor Times
In your comments on the letter of Mr..
Thompson, member of the Board of AS
SCISSORS, charging Irregularities in that
body. which you published this morning,
you uawarrantably associate my name
with the affair and make some gratuitous
insinuations in keeping with the treatment
have received from the Times ever since
it has been in the hands Of its present Pro-
prietors.
For your information, and as matter OF
fact, will state that Mr.. Paris. is not my
brother-in-law, nor related to me even IN
the remotest.
In 1873, while acting Governor. l ap-
pointed Mr.. George E. Paris member OF
the board of assessors, on the advice and
consent of Governor Kellogg; and, l may
add, that every appointment made by me
at that time had his sanction. So far as
have been able to learn, Mr.. Paris dis
charged the duties of his Office during that
term honestly and efficiently, and was con-
tinued on the board up to the present by
Governor Kellogg.
The good opinion l entertained Of Mr..
Paris when I appointed him has been
strengthened by the fact that last year,
when great complaint was made by the
Property Holders Association against as'
sessments, Mr.. Paris requested them to ap
point q committee to accompany him in the
examination of all complaints in his dis
trict and for his uniform courtesy and fair
ness received q vote of thanks from that
organization. l take this as presumptlve
evidence that Mr.. Paris has continued dur
ing his second term as a member OF the
Board of Assessors to discharge his duties
honestly and efficiently, which a fair and
full investigation of the alleged charges
will abundantly establish.
So far as your urjust insinuations relative
to myself are concerned, dismiss them
with the contempt their pusillanimity
merits. P, B. S. PINCHBACK.

end we shall continue to labor. Should q
different result follow the action of the
