hon. Al. W. Gillespie
U Dear Sir--You having been elected from Ca
& n4pr0n i,arish to our State Legislature upon
4 5Ff ticket OF retrenchment and reform, end be-
Having that you are willing to carry out such
fnoasnres TO the letter. we invite your att ntiQn
\ retrenchment and reform, to wit: A change in
r bur organic law. the State constitution OF 1868
which was born in sin and brought 1orth IN
4 fniquty, and until we call convention ana
& S1bliterate Ii from our statute books we can
4 never have the reform our people voted for at
x1dr last election. We have tried the expert
lnent Of amending II. but have signally failed:
@ wa have more officers than necessary land
most az their salaries are too high. who have to
81, s,inported by the aboring tax payers and cap
tAlstH of the State. We believe that at least one,
third OF the officers Of the State can be dispensed
{ With and of most of the remaining tWo-thirds
their salaries REDUCED. besides. we Ell. nave to9
eesgions and have biennial sessions. unless ~
Il .SsfRrH hi emergency when the Executive could
call the Legislature together. And, while on
fhA subject OF the Legislature, we would suggest
4 that the next Legislature. when 1t meets on the
= first Monday IN January next organize and pass
\ tie appropriation for the current year incem-
4 Inc for carrying on the State government. and
provide for convention and then adjourn, as
Sfha new constitution would necessarily cause
/. the Legislature to pass laws in accordance with
4 the new constitution. and repeal many passed
Y under the present constitution OF 1863.
We would most respectfully ask your views
on the above subjects. and as far as compatible
with your views. comply with our request
Very respectfully, yours,

THE DIPLOMATIC THEORY.

II onr London dispatches are correct, the
Russian delny on the north bank OF tho
Danube Is not olono caused by tho difficulties
in tho way Of concentrating tho arny IN
sufficient force to inauro pnssagc but by
q diplomatic interpretation which Inns boon
made for tho purpose Of ascertaining En-
glands cxact interosts, and whorcin the rus
sian advance wilt bo liable 10 affect them,
In othor words. before 1tussia pounces upon
Turkey, sho would like to know whom sho
cnn hit her, whoro sho cnn bit her, nnf. how
harl ahe can hit her, without injnring En-
gland. Tho gamo which tho diplomats havo
commenced TO play in the vcry smoke Of tho
battle, i,owcver, must roach tloeper and in-
volvo moro tnonentous issuca than this.
Tho master hnnd Of BlsxAnox would not
again take control Of affairs merely to obtain
m anBwer to such IN unnecessary interpol-
lation. Rusaia knows now. hs we'll as she
has always known, whit English intorosts
aro as stake, md how far sllo can 60 Without
affecting them. The Ozar know them SO

statcments Of snoh men as Lord HARRINGTON
and 6tr W1tt+1AA HAHcoun7, that "whnt We
must g'tara Is, not Turkey as a political

Tho diplomats, It they arc really at work
again, azs playing deeper game than this,
md one that looks beyond tho mcre effort ot
Russia to coerca Turkey. Tho game is not
to solve tho problem OF English interests
but o& European alliances, and It is nao.e

Tho sessions Of tho General Assembly Of

ecclcsinstica1 bodies OF this nature. Our
rcfesence ia not to Tho religious denomina-
ttons thus represented, but to tho grand
judicatory which rules thom rs contrnl

organized with such q supervisory body.
Tho Ptesbyterians hayo their General As
sombly, tho MsthoJssss t!.eir General Con-
ference, and the Episcopa1ians their Gcneral
Convention, while oven tho Congregational
lists have National Council, though purely
for consultative purposes and desoid Of
power. The effect Of these gatherings must
be influential in various directions, mud II
will repay ono to study It, In q somowhat
broad manner, ~ bearing upon raligioua aud
upon secular interests.
Tho advantages OF these controlling ecclo-
siastical bodies are obvious. They bring out
tho strength and mako manifest tho charnc.
