Senate for brief statement OF his reasons
for the motion. The resoluiio5s under con.
sideration were OF much more serious lm-
| nortance than tue speedy and irregular man
ner in which they have been considered and
adopted elsewhere would indicate. They
| involve much more than would appear on
the first blush Of the matter. The high stand
ing and time. honored reputation of car judi.
ciary: the character Of q county Judge whose
hopes and aspirations in life depend upon
our action; the general public interest and
deep concern Of our people; the strong So
lcitude of the friends and relations OF the
accused in Nelson and other parts Of the
State, who are anxiouSly looking to the Sea-
ate for that prudent and mature elaboration
{ on this grave subject which his generally
marked its course in the past, and last, though
not least, the trembling hopes Of fond

Experiments ON Fish

The fish commissioners of lows are trying
an experiment similar to that which DR..
ROBERTSON is making in the Mountain Lake
with the salmon. The Iowa commissioners
have patched eighty thousand eggs Of the
salmo salar. They hope that these may as.
snme the characteristics Of the land-locked
salmon, but are not confident. They had
lost five thousand young of the landlocked
salmon that were attacked with dropsy Of
the food.ssck. But they, at the time OF their
report, hoped for better success.

Appointed.

the NATIONAL Convention Ought to be
Appointed.
EAaproN, February &c, 1875.
To the Elitoy3-of the DiSEatch:
read in your last Thursdays ISSUE brief
editorial in relation to tho recent AIT OF the
Legislature prescribing che time and manner
OF voting on the propose1aInendmsnts to our
State Constitution which is so sound and
lust in it's views and conclusions that desire
to express my hearty approval OF the article
and my thanks to the gen that wrote it.. Ssch
legislation is an outrage upon popular liberty,
an insult to the Intelligence of free people,
and a miserable attempt to stiae the freedom
of the elective franchise. SoDe of the amend.
ments proposed meet my cordial approval,
and i would cbeerfully support them. To
several of them 1 am opposed. regard
thera as unwse and impolitic, and l
cannot be dragooned into the support
of them by the Legislative lash !;
hsnce, in order to give expression
10 my he nest sentiments upon those that l
oppose, shall be compelled to vote against
those that I approve. The result of the
vote, I think, will show that there are many
good Conservatives in the State who will
take similar view of the matter. The pre-
sent Legislature seems to act as if it were an
irresponsible body, absolute in its preroga.
tiyes aEd accountable to no one; and II
you will permit me to express such an
opinion, l would say that the sooner the
members adjourn and return to their homes
the stronger will be their plea before the
people for a reelection. They have been 10
session now fer three months, at an expense
to the State of over 100000, and have abso'
lutely, not relatively, done nothing tor the
public good. 5,
While my pen Is in hand permit me 10
touch upon another subject somewhat KIN
dred in character to the one have been dis'
cussiug. Let me say word to our Conser'
yatiye State Executive Committee. | notice
that the chairman Of this body has called .

Tho bill introduced by Mr.. Randall
into the House granting amnesty to oil
Tor disabilities imposed by Congress on
account Of the war which closed eleven
years ago, was defeated, a. our readers
know, by the votes Of " Radicals In tho
House. constituting more than a
third Of that body. The law re-
uuires IN cases OF amnesty a two-thirds
majority. The vote on tho passage of
the bill was 1879 for II and % against It.
Blaine and his friends voted for this
identical net last year, but 1t Is thought,
Just 0s the virtuous Senator Patterson
said TO a gang Of South Carolina's
Observation-Disclosures tho other day In
Columbia, while congratulating them
on the election of Moses and Whipper,
"thcre are ut least Ave years yet Of good

The Democratic Conservative Convention

The Republican has thought proper to
affirm that tho Democratic nnd Con
scrvative Convention recently held In
this city did not represent Its constitu-
ency. We have not replied 20 this charge
before because we preferred waiting to
learn how the action OF the Convention
would BIO received. Our exchanges from
aI1 portions Of tho State fully and cor
daily endorse the action Of the Conven-
tion, and II the expressions OF opinion
by the delegates to the Convention rep
rcsonting every parish In the State
but this, and the unanimous uttemnces
Of the State Democratic and Conservative
press. do not mean that the real senti-
mcnts Of the State have been expressed,
will the astute Republican inform us
how tho rcai sentiments OF tho people
III this or any other State
nro TO be ascortnlned. The Con-
yention was composed Of truly repre-
sentative mon; lis action Is. without an
exception, endorsed by the Democratic
and Conservative press OF the State, and
nobody seems TO be badly hurt, except
tho Republican and its party; therefore
we consider IL a1Dplutely concluded that
the action of the Convention WINS proper,
end that II represents the wishes Of the
better class cf tho people Of Louisiana.
