1t is generally conceded in the larger por-
tion OF the fifth Congressional District,
that Mississippi City is the proper place to
hold the Democratic District Convention.
1t is Kinds county alone that favors Hazle-
hurst or Magnolia. But for many wefghty
reasons it is best that Mississippi City should
be selected.--Bay st. Louis Herald.
We beg to assure the Herald that it is
entirely mistaken as to Kinds. No
preference for place OF holding the Con-
yentiop has been expressed here. For
ourselves We cordially endorse the fol-
lowing from the McComb City lnteIli-
geAcer:
We rather like the idea OF meeting on the
Sea-siore, Besides attending to the coun-
---'s Interests, the sale water and delightful
~ ne. = nf the Gulf would Be exceed
Ingly enjoyable. Put Us dow. 10 wy Se@'

HE Issue Made Up.

Upon the question Of reducing expen-
ditures, the Democratic House and the
Radical Senate are ut dir ect issue, the
former taking the affirmative of the
proposition, and the latter opposing. The
consular and diplomatic bill introducing
reforms that would have saved the tax
payers a very large sum; was reported to
the House at an early stage of the session
from the Committee on Appropriations
by Hon. o. r. SINGLETON. 1t passed
that body, but was rejected by the Re-
publican majority in the Senate and was
referred to a Committee of Conference
with the following result as reported by
our member, to the House, on the 18th ult:
Mr.. Singleton, from the Committee of
Conference on the disagreeing votes of the
two Houses upon the bill III. R. No. 1874
making appropriations for the consular and
diplomatic service of the Government for
the year ending June 90, 1877, and for other
purposes submitted the following report;
The Committee of Conference on the dis
agreeing votes of the two Houses on the
amendments of the Senate to the bill of the
House, No. 1894, entitled . 4 n act making
for the consular and diplo-
matte service ofthe Government for the year
ending June 80, 1877, and for other purposes
having met. after full and free conference, |
have been unable to agree.
Fhe issue is therefore distinctly made
up between the two parties in Congress.
One (the Democratic) is in favor of re-
and low taxes, for the benefit
Of the people; the other (the Republi-
cam is in favor Of extravaganza and high /
taxes for the benefit of the office holders

IF the subject was not so grave we
could not resist smile at the PickWick-
ian attitude, which the Northern and
Southern Presbyterian churches have
assumed toward each other, in their ap-
breaches towards genuine reunion. The
latter, in their Convention at Savannah.
resolved that "while condemning certain
e acts or deliverances of the Northern
" general assembly, no acts or deliver
60 ances of the Southern general assembly
" are to be construed or admitted as i'm
"pugnilg in any way the Christian
/" character of the Northern general
60 assembly," The Northern Convention
retaliated this rap by CONDENSATION
setting forth that "while condemning
+" certain acts and deiiFerenees of the
/" Southern general assembly, no acts or
+" deliverances of the Northern general
assembly are to be construed or admit
!" ted as impugning in any way the
4" Christian character of the Southern
n general assembly," Thus, each assem-
bly persists in dEzg the "acts and
deliverancess of the other, but disclaims
any intention to impugn motives before
taking the Anal, fraternal, iaseparabIe |
embrace. Blessed are the peaeemakers, !

THE development in favor of Blaine
for the Republican nomination has
surprised friends and foes. There is
nothing astonishing about it. The
Northern demagogues have faith in the
efficacy of the war issues to save them
from defeat, and none has been more ac-
tive in reviving them than Blaine. The
New York Times, (Republican) tells
the story. 1t says:
The unanimity of the convention for Mr..
Blaine was somewhat OF Il puzzle, it is said
to the politicians at Springfield. But there
Is no State IN the Union where the feeling
which animated the Republican party du-
ring the war remains more earnest than in
Illineis. and Mr.. Blaine's outspoken course
