Violations made in 81. Louis we have
noticed In the papers other instances ol

kitchen cabinet with the administration
of Justice, which is but the result oil
that idea, SO prevalent among the
attaches Of the President, that the high
Office which he fills is not so much q
trust reposed In him for the benefit Of
the people, MS a reward for real or fan
cied services to the country--as a piece
OF property. from which he and his
family should derive the largest income
possible. Louisiana, too, can furnish an
instance which might perhaps have
attracted attention had it not been lost

Among the plous pilgrims who march

attention to the civilization OF our saw
age natures, and to a philanthropic care
for the remnant OF property which the
devastation Of war had left, was Charles
w. Lowell. He came from the far dis
tant state OF Maine. and, like Mr.. KEEL
logg, his career here has, us we are in
formed, fully justified the expectations
OF his friends at home. His eminent
qualifications for Radical Office were
promptly recognized, and he took his
seat in the Legislature between Devices
and Carr, a noble trinity of Puritan
statesmen. Soon he became United
States Postmaster, Speaker of the House
Of Representatives OF Louisiana, and
general agent for all jobs in which dis

JEWELS Surrender.

The third-termers have engaged u
convert in the person OF the Postmaster
General, who has heretofore affected
opposition TO that scheme, while he has
advertised himself extensively as u re-
former. In playing this part, however
Mr.. Jewell never venturcd to disobey
the Presidents orders favoring ring
contractors, nor to oppose his appoint
inents when he knew them to bC scan.
dalous. He contented himself by say
ing the President took the RESPONSE
biIity, and thus compromised his trust
by degrading submission to unworthy
Interference.
Still, this seryility was not satisfac-
tory to Grant. He knew Jewell was
playing u double game, had set mp as q
candidate for Vice-Presitlent on a ticket
adverse to his personal ambition, and
was using the power and patronage Of
the department to sttbserve that pur-
pose. 1t was therefore intimated to the
Postmaster General, In u way not TO be
misunderstood, that his presence i'm the
Cabinet was no longer desired, and 1t
was expected he would retire early In
the new year.
This was the understanding ON both
sides a month ago; but it would seem
that jewell has made his peace at the
White House, received absolution for
past errors, and Is now regarded as one
Of the third term elect. Instead Of com
ing to the New England celebration in
this city on Forefathers' Day, he attend
ed the dinner of that society at Wash
ington, and was made the central figure
OF the occasion. In the course OF a pre-
pared speech, he went out OF his way to
extol the President, and to approve the
anti Catholic scheme, which is the basis
OF his programme for third term. Here
are the words as reported In the Admin
istratiOn organ:
we nave every reason to believe'that
the ancestor OF our honored and worthy
CHIEF Magistrate, who emigrated from
Massachusetts colony about the middle
OF the seventeenth century to Windsor,
Conn.,, whore he held the Office Of town
clerk continuously for mole than thirty
years, Is the cause Of his sterling vir-
tues. The very qualities Of loyalty, in
tegrity and virtue, for which Gen. Grant
Is now SO celebrated, have come down
to him through the generations from
this pure New England stock.
I'm the conflicts Of the future be-
tween virtue and vice, between intelli-
gence and superstition, between free
dom and slavery, we have right to ex-
pect chat they (sons Of New England)
will be found, as in the past, fighting In
the front rank, shoulder to shoulder.
for universal liberty, universal educa-
tlon and universal obedience to law"
Under these last artful phrases there
IS Il complete adhesion to Grants plan
Ter an anti-Catholic crusade to promote
his third term project. The hunkyism
OF the personal eulogy makes it appar-
ent that this demonstration was pre-
and had special purpose to
serve. Mr. Jewell wanted to keep his |
seat in the Cabinet, and he has proba-
bly, insured his retention. After this |
surrender, the Postmaster General had |
better close his lips about independence |
in office, and be content with the cleri- |
sal duty OF registering edicts from the
White House, for which he is eminently
qualified. --Ne,D York Sun.

The state Convention.
From the Thibodeauy Sentinel

The time fixed for the assembling oi
the Democratic and Conservative Con
vcntion Is near at hand, and it behooves
those to whom has been delegated by
the people at large the responsible duty
of shaping the policy Of the coming
campaign to ponder long and well their
action for on the temper, wisdom and
discretion Of the members our future
success largely depends. There are
great possibilities Of good or evil in the
body, and it rests with tho reapcrs
the field abounds shall be harvested.
It should first, last aud always be u
harmonious Convention, for to secure
harmony and concord in our ranks, and
to strengthen each Others hands against
the common enemy, is, we conceive,
the primal purpose of its assembly. All
irritating topics should be carefully
avoided by those who wish we'll to the
cause. The unfortunate corpse OF the
Wheeler adjustment, which has had as
much trouble In obtaining Christian
burial as did poor Guibord, should be
laid peacefully and finally away, with
out parade on one side or anathcma on
the other.
Any agitation of this matter would be
particularly unbecoming in these cases
as we see from the published lists that
many Representatives appear as dele
gates to the Convention; this, by the
way, We regard as in extreme bad taste.
Dclicacy, we think, should have
prompted them to recuse themselves
from sitting in Judgment on their own
cases. Bat the Convention should do
what our delegation in Congress so sig
nally failed i'm doing at the opening of
the session in the Spencer Morey con
troversy; viz to refute the audaciously
false statements of Mcssrs. Wheeler and
Frye with regard to the intent and
meaning. of the resolution recognizing
the Kellogg government; this done,
and delegates elected to the National
Democratic Convention, they should
turn to the panacea of our ills--reform.
The people demand practical relief
from the burdens which are crushing
them to the earth: one iniquitons law
expunged from the Statute book, one
mill stricken from our tax rate, is worth
more to Louisiana than all the tears
aud rant expended on her wrongs by
Northern Democrats
The next campaign in this State is
destined to be IA fierce grapple, the dom
nant faction well knowing that once
iefeated in a general contest there |
would be no resurrection for them, and |
'ur eyes would be gladdened by the |
,pectacle already witnessed by those |
states redeemed from carpet bag sway /
4 Hegira Of the vultures from our
state; and with Grant out Of the White /
louise, they would not have even the
lying Christians consolation they
ould not sing Il know that my Re-
leemer liveth.' This glorious result
an be attained through the wise and
action of the Convention,
