BINDING UP PCARPET-BAGGERS' WOUNDS.
Washington, May li.---Tl.s President
has expressed his determination shat his
course in the adjustment of the political
questions in Louisiana shall not bias his ac-
ton in regard to the Federal patronage in
that State. He has assured Governor Kel-
logg and other Republicans in Louisiana,
and has given directions to the effect in the
different executive departments, that all APP
pointments must be made within the lines
OF the Republican party.
These parties are much elated at this de-
termination on the part of the Executive,
and say that though the withdrawal of the
troops and the interference of the Commits
sion were a mistake, they have still a chance
to maintain the organization of the Rcpub-
lican party. 1t is evident that the fact that
politicians are necessary evil, is beginning
to be appreciated, and there is no doubt that
n modification of the somewhat decided
views on this subject will hereafter be made
The rule promised in Louisiana will no doubt
be extended to other sections.

TIE NEGR6 RACE Nor DYING Our
Douglas Fox is an intelligent colored citizen
of the suburbs of Ridgcway, deacon in the
Baptist Church, a carpenter and farmer,
and was one Of the managers of election at
Ridgeway box who voted for Hampton and
Reform last November. A few days since.
Douglas Fox came into Ridgcway wearing
a rather lugubrious cast of features, and an
nounced that the evening before Hayes and
Hampton had called at his house, and that
he had not the means to entertain these dis
tlnguishcd strangers in manner suited to
their rank. Surprise being expressed at the
vagares of these dignitaries in thus travel
ling incog., he explained that his visitors
"u'o but sir LsorS old and that they have
never resided any where else ti2aH ut hts
house. In other words, his wife had prssen-
ted him with twins. He said he had full
wardrobe for one, but that this thing of
twins had upset all his calculations, apd he
was then purchasing an outfit for the other.
The most interesting feature of this cir
cumstancc is that six years ago Douglas was
presented by his wife with triplcts, all boys,
two of whom arc still living. Four years
ago she gave birth to daughter. and two
years ago to son Seven children at four
births is rather crowding things Douglas
believes that there is magic in name, and
in calling his children in honor of the two
leading men of America he hopes he has Civ
en- them good send.off in life. We are in
formed that Douglas has been married thr
teen years and has eleven Children IJInms-

Governor Kcmper, several members Of the
Genera! Assembly, aud some of the newspapers
in the State, have alluded in rather favorable
terms to proposition for the calling OF State
convention. We look with disfavor upon any
suoh measure. Every convention for the pur.
pose of revising tho Constitution of the State
that has been held 10 Virginia soce tho first
one, has, without correcting the detects, ser-
ously marred what was cxcellont 10 the work
of those that had preceded it; and We are warned
not only by the experience of the past, but by
what is 10 actual progress at present, that the
States interests would not be put 10 the safest
hands wero they entrusted to the tender mer-
cies Of q convention to be elected now. All
tho measures for tho relief Of the State that
could b., secured by convention can be &C.
complished by tho General Assembly, but at
present VIC dou't expect much relief froul the
latter, and arc convinced that none would be
received from the former.
