The Appointments Of Pilots Of Now Or.

The Appointments Of Pilots Of Now Or.
The law under which Governor Kellogg
acted in revoking the appointments of
branch pilots few days since is contained
in sections 1886 and 27ll of the Revised
Statutes. The most important are cections
2687 providing for . board Of examiners
consisting of three persons, 1886 requiring
every pilot to pass an examination before
appointment, and 2708 containing the duty
Of the board.
The law is carefully drawn and particu-
larly designed to prevent imposition on ship
masters by incompetent persons. appointed
merely for political purpose. The exam.
iners must be branch pilots themselves; NEE:
twice each year, and issue certificates to all
who pass satisfactory examination. Pilots
must give bond of $1,000, are liable to sus-
pension for five years for neglect of duty,
and fine of $500 or an imprisonment for
three months for neglect of duty; must keep
boat of fifty tons burden, and proper
understanding of their daily duties is only
gained by long experience. Whether or not
those lately appointed were competent or
reliable was not known, because they had
no certificate from the recognized board,
composed of Messrs. Douglas, Wilson and
Lyon. The law is imperative, and their
commissions were necessarily withheld.

MURDERERS


SAN ANTONIO, March %, 1876.
The fact that Diaz, Gonzales and other
revolutionists are in Brownsville and issue
their proclamations from this side of the
river is regarded as the best evidence that
the revolut;onists are not making any head
way to speak of. t-
No Importance should be attached to the
rumOrs of revolutionist successes.
The only thing Diaz seems 70 be in earnest
about, is his attempt to corrupt with
promises of bribes the loyalty Of the gov
ernment troops, which has met with but
little success.
The late deputy sheriff of Live Oak
county, just arrived, says that on Monday
night fifty disguised men entered Oskville,
eighty miles from here, and the county scat
OF Live Oak county, took possession Of the
jail, and murdered John T. T0bin and
Henry Collar, prisoners. They went to the
house of Matt Adams and shot him, and
finally fred upwards of seventy-6ve shots
into the house of Davis, but he escaped
and has come here to see what can be done.

POLITICAL.
Pennsylvania Democratic State Couven
zion.

Pennsylvania Democratic State Couven
siOn.
LANCASTER, March 23.-The followin 2
platform was adopted:
The Democracy of Pennsylvania reas
serts it's devotion to the provisions OF the
federal constitution, and to q perpetua
union of the States; pledges itself to rigid
economical administration of the federal,
State and municipal governments; to locs
self-government in any section; to the
honest payment of the public debt, to said
preservation of the public faith.
We eee with humility and alarm the evi-
dences of bribery. fraud and peculatlon in
high places; the distress that prevails. and
widespread financial ruin that impends
over the people of the State, and they
charge that these evils are the direct re-
suits of personal government, unwise leg
islation, vicious financial policy, and ex-
| travagance and corruption of the Repub-
ican party. They declare:
l. That the government has become cor
| rupt is made the object of personal gain
| and infdelity to public trust has become
the rule aud not the exception. All be-
ieve that honesty, capacity and fidelity
are the only tests for fitness for public sta :
ton, and that the wholesome penalties o
the law should be used with rigor to on
force official accountability.
2. That the recent and repeated ex.
posures of fraud and corruption in the ad-
ministration of public affairs call for q
searching and thorough investigation of the
conduct and condition of every branch O
the public service, to the end that all cor
rupt parties may be brought to light, and
that all who have abused and betrayed
their public trust, whatever may be their
station. may be exposed and punished; and
we urge those in charge of this subject at
Washington to prompt, thorough and ex-
haustive examination Of their respective
fields of labor.
3. That retrenchment and economy are
indispensable in federal, State and muni-
cipal administration as essential means to-
ward lessening the burdens of the people
and we commend the efforts of the ma
jority in the House of Representatives for
the reduction Of the expenditures of the
federal government to a just standard, and
their determination to lessen the number o
useless officials.
4. That general amnesty to all persons
implicated in the late rebellion against the
government of the United Statee, who
have not already been relieved from their
disabilities by the action of Congress and
of the President. would be an allowable
and proper exercise Of governmental power
in the year of the centennial celebration of
American independence; and that the re-
commepdation OF such a measure by Pres i.
dent Grant. in public message, and it's in :
dorsement. and passage by Republican
House Of Representatives st q former ses-
sieD, constitute full proof that such a meas-
ure is fit, judicious and timely.
5. Approves Of those provisions If th.
State constitution which projects not onjv
the school funds, but other public mone1s
from appropriation to sectarisn uses. s3d
that they htly illustrate that doctrine Of
the separation Of Church and Stato vhich

V0c AcV6e0s
General NJ. JEFF Thompson, chief State
engineer, returned to New Orleans yester
day, after trip of nearly three weeks.
The river at Helena is eight feet six
inches above that at Memphis, which is
ninety miles above. At Providence it is as
high a. in 1874.
In Carroll, Madison, Tensas and Concor-
dia parishes the danger has been and still is
great, although all the works under con :
struction will be finished in ten days, except
Bass levee, which has just been COM
menced.
Below Red river all the levees first or
dered have been completed, but several
new caves have occurred during the past
few days in East Baton Rouge, West Bato
Rouge and Iberville.
General Thompson anticipates more v ater
to pass down the river this year than any
previous year since 1926.

JAMES j. TARLErON, Cashier.
The passage of act No. 40 of 1874 was the
way to save the interests of the stockhold-
ers and get rid of the State bonds. The
committee urged that the act of January
80, 1886, provided that the bonds should be
sold within two years for par, or should be
null and void. President Gaines and Audi
tor Clinton were unable to decide whether
they were sold in time or not, and that
question did not affect the merits. 1t was
considered best to extend the time. 1t
might be argued that the bonds were bills
of credit, payable to bearer, the faith of the
State being pledged for their redemption,
and therefore unconstitutional. Const. U.

See more lengthy review of this point in

The Supreme Court will, however, probably
have to pass on it again.
The Association of Planters is in the same
condition. 1t is about as impossible to tell
what its assets are worth as to predict its
condition in 1911. By it's statement it's liza
bilities seem to be protected by Its real e.
tate security. But this statement shows
that much larger loans were made than
half its value, - authorized BY law. On
its face the fact appears plain that tho real
