OHARIrY HOSPITAL.

The Committee on Charitable Institutions
from the House Thursday called on the off,
GERS and administrators Of the hospital to in
quire into matters and things, and to hold a
consultation IS to the wants OF the institution
and the manner Of providing for its support
IN the future.
There were present, Msssrs. Bonzano, Nc
Can, Cazanave and Anderson, of the Board
DR.. Andrew W. Smyths, House Surgeon and
Chief Executive Officer, DR.. G. W. Lewis, As
sistant House Surgeon, and ]. D. Lichten-
berger, Esq, Secretary and Treasurer.
Hon. Sibilsky, chairman, addressed him.
self 10 Mr.. Bonzano, and inquired searchingly
into the particulars of the enormous losses the
hospital sustained in the way of discounts, and
the cause thereof, questions which were
answered by him and Messrs. McCan and
Lichtenberger, aud which developed the fact
that the State Treasury had for some time
past been inaccessible to the demands of the
officers of the hospital, and that it was neces.
money for the support of the sick inmates OF
tie institution.
An inquiry was also made selative to the
payment Of sum OF money paid to Mf. L
N. Stoutemyer, Special Attorney, alluded
to by Mr.. Dupre in the House few days
ago. Mr.. Bonzsno told the committee that
he was authorized by two Of the largest credi-
tors Of the institution to employ additional
counsel, and that the expense incurred would
not fall on the hospital.
The committee were highly pleased with
the neatness and cleanliness Of the beds and
wards. and went away satisfied that the con-
that its afflirs are well managed,

THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE.

Both the Senate and House eyipce deter.
mination to stand firmly by the election bib
which each has passed, and it il foregone
conclusion that neither will yield on the ALE
important Returning Board section. The 70.
suit of this will, of course, be that the pres-
ent law will remain unchanged, in the alb.
sepce of compromise arrangement BE-.
ween the two branches Of our Legislature.
We are heartily in accord with the seeming
intention of the Conservatives rather to allow
the present law to remain in force than to be
parties to the passage Of another equally as
obnoxious. With the present law they had
nothing to do, and no charge of completely
can be brought against them for participation
in its enactment; but if they allowed them
selves to consent to any similar law they could
hardly condemn the opposition for their con-
duct in the matter.
Some good might be accomplished through
the labors Of conference committee, judi
ciously arranged; at any rate, it wonld be
well for the Conservatives to use every oppor-
tunity afforded them to accomplish some
change for the better, and it would not be
we'll, therefore, for the House to delay the
of 0 committee to meet the one
from the Senate.
As the highest branch of the Legislature
has already named its committee, the Speaker
Of the House has it in his power to appoint
one whose political complexion will serve to
equalize the representation of both parties in
The conference and it is but reasonable to
suppose that some advantageous results will
follow the deliberations of this joint commit.
tee.
1t would be just as we'll, under any circum.
stances, for the Conservative House to put itself
upon record as willing and anxious to use every
possible opportunity of accomplishing the
task Of securing the passage ct this session
Of an election bill which will guarantee equal
rights to all voters in the State; then if the
Republican Senate remains welded to its idol.
the entire country will bear witness to the
fact, and there must result q great good, if
not to us, at least to q number of our sister
States, who will in 1876 express their utter
disgust at the conduct Of Radical rulers when
tney have the power of choosing between
right and wrong, with none powerful enough
10 set aside their conclusions.

SOUTH AMERICAN COMMERCE.

The eleven Republics of South America
with an area Of 2,773, goo square miles and 9
population Of 16, 439 900. import S160, IA, 900
and export s135 94f, 900 annually, while they
receive and expend from sI1o. eOO, 900 to $780,.
900, 900, and owe q foreign debt of about
s42S 100000. These figures suffice to show
that this country ought to be very active
competitor for South American trade. Tne
figures above quoted do mol include tbs
Empire Of Brazil. whose commerce greatly
exceeds that Of any one Of the Republics. yet
they are sufficient to show that .ha
sixteen millions of the Southern Republics
buy and sell enough to metit the thoughtful
attention Of the MERCHANTS and goyeya,n eass
of the United States. Our Southern neigh~
bors will buy where they can buy to the bes.
advantage, and sci! where they CAB get the
highest prices for yheif hides, their skins.
theis' copper. their silver. .heie bark. their
wool, their dyes. theiy drugs, their precious
woods and their aromatic hegbs. There is 10
reason why we can not pay as much tor most
Of these exparss as IS paid by che MERCHANTS
Of Earope. There - no yeason why we can
not pay for them ia our grain. oar naval
stores. our hardware, our cotton and our COZ
ton goods, our distilled spirits. our malt
liquors. our machinery and all the thou.
sand and one articles which We make
% sell and which they want.
Nor is there any good and sufficient reason
why much of this commerce should not be
carried on in American ships. Of which. with
deep water at the Passes. New Orleans would
have q good share.
We must look to theSouth for the clements
OF success to the commerce of the Mississippi
Valley. OF which this city IS the natural and
necessary depot Of transshipmens for export
or distribution. As the South American gov.
ernments grow stable and pacific. as they
grow older. their numbers, their products
and their increasing wants will lead to con-
stsntIy swelling commerce. Of which we must
try 70 get purdue share.

While he was in . fine flowing humor of
eulogy. Merrimon interjected question as to
"Pinch's" whereabouts before Buffers arrival
in New Orleans, in 1852. Morton, who had
sunk to his sea-, returned snappishly, "For
what purpose does the gentleman ask the
question 2" "For an ans Yer" said Merri-
mon. "What answer does the gentleman
expect?" snapped Morton again. Merely
facts" said Mr.. Merrimon. Thereupon MGR
ton returned angrily, 81 know the purpose
of the gsntlemans question, and presumipg
self with documents to answer it.
A deeper sensation Of interest followed,
and Morton, taking up the thread Of his mar
rative, began to show how "Pinch came to
New Orleans, and the first night of his arrival.
in convivial mood, fell into an alteration
with his brother-in.law, for which he was
called before provost court and sentenced 10
the work-house. Even Morton. with all his
brazen disregard Of public decency, faltered
as his reluctant lips gave expression to the
degrading details in the life of man whom
he was arguing for as worthy of place in the
United States Senate For moment there
seemed o semblance of shame on his face, but
it passed away. "Pinch," for single mo-
ment, shifted his glorious black eyes, but only
for moment
Among other memoranda, Morton pre-.
scented an abstract from the prison record,
which be undertook to read, but finding
some difficulty. "Pinch," with insolent self
possession. got up. walked briskly over to
Morton's side, twirling his glasses as he vert.
and offered to aid him. Morton, With qui +
gesture of impotence. waived HIM off anu
continued reading. while the audience looked
on and smiled sarcasticaliy. When the In.
dianian came to the charge upon which the
prisoner was committed. he failed to read it.
and it was the general impression, as the
Struggling shoulders of the Senators and tbs
derisive sneers of the gallery attested. that
prison record is not the strongest yecommen.
dation for Senator.

and bills Of exchange shall be due and pasa.
bic on the second day Of grace, when the
third is day of public rest. And on the first
day of grace, when both the second and third
are days of public rest; and in computing the
delay allowed for giving notice Of non-accept-
