An inspection Of the above Statement,
will Indicate that large part of the ex.
| cessive expenditures Of 1877 Ia due &c
salaries aud offices fixed by the present
constitution, and from which there can
be no relief except by q sweeping
change OF that instrument.
| There are many features in the present
constitution that should be stricken
from our organic law, and many omis-
sions quite as Injurious, but the re-
| trenchment OF government expenditures
and an adjustment OF them to the
pressure of the times is Of the first i'm
portanoe. The people Of this State are
heavily pressed by taxation, and their
demand for relief can be heard on al
sides. Many are barely able to support
themselves and families, and hundreds
have had their roofs sold over them to
meet the demands of the tax gatherer.
Heretofore, we laid the distress 40
caused, to the Radical officials, but now,
there is no apprecable diminution Of
taxes, under q Democratic administra-
ton. We may satisfy the people of the
State for brief period by telling them
that the constitution imposes the bur-
den, not the Legislature; but that plea
will not avail uS longer than this win
ter, because the Democracy must meet
at the next session OF the General AS
sembly.
In conclusion, permit me to say that
the Democratic party OF this State Is
now upon trial. The statement above
shows that Louisiana. crippled and i'm
poverished as she IL to-day, with little
more than half the productive resources
she had In the year 1868, Is actually pay
ing her public servants for the same
services nearly double as much as she
paid In those prosperous times
The Democratic party organization is
not mere off1ce-grabbing association
IL Ia the servant of the people, and the
responsibility is directly before it of
making the issue of constitutional re-
form and of pushing it vigorously for
ward until the taxpayer shall be relieved
from the unjust burden of an extrava.
CANT civil service. 1t must do more: it
must undertake and press forward.
without hesitation, the work OF legisla.
tive reform, for which there Is ample
room, as might be easily shown II your
space allowed.
The Democracy has the power to re-
store to the people an economical as
well as an honest administration Of the
State government, and IL IL shrinks
from that duty 1t will go back upon it's
historical record, stultify all its prom
ises, forfeit Its hold upon the confidence
and support OF the people, and at no
distant period lose possession Of the
government of the State.

HARD TIMES IN ENGLAND.

lMoncure Conway in the Cincinnati Commercial !
LONDON. Oct. 1.-The average labor
ing population seems to have gone on q
strike this week; and unless something
be done to avert 1t, this will be the most
fearful winter known in England for
many years. Everybody Is cutting down
expenses. In London alone there are
$4,000 fewer male servants on the tax list
than two years ago. The Durham coal
trade Is -paralyzed, and the laborers
evicted from their houses are camp
Ing in the lanes, and many try
ing to. emigrate. The increase of
crime. is great already, and that ia
an ugly sign In country districts. Many
of the great iron mills have closed,
notably that of the Crawshavs. The
London and Manchester building
Trades are on strike. In Ireland
there Is dangerous looking strike
among railway milesmen. who demand
an advance OF four shillings over the
fourteen shillings per week now re-
ceived, and the removal of an obnoxious
engineer. They are armed and going
about collecting confederates on all the
branches of the Great Southern and
Western, travelling free, the conductors
being afraid to demand tickets. Things
are in more UNHAPPY condition, so far
as work is concerned, than / have ever
before known in this country, and the
depression OF trade touches bottom to-
day with the news that Switzerland has
adopted high tariff against some very
important English products.

CHEAP TELEGRAPHIxG.

The Journal of Telegraph, in its Issue OF
March 18th, announces reduction OF tariff
rates to oil points in the East and South,
by the Western Union Telegraph Company,
Of from fifty 70 seventy five per cent. less
than the former tariff rates. A dispatch
can nov be rent FROM Lesvenworth to any
of the principal cities, in The East, for fifty
cents for ten words during the day, while at
night the tariff for twenty words. is but
twenty five cents. Dispatches Of ten 30 d.
can be now sent to Ct. Louis and Chicsgo
for twenty. FIVE cents, and it ia understood
that the Western Usion Company will ad-
here to there hard-pan prices. il it is found
that the people and the business commune
~ will respond in such proportion n to
make good the diminuiion in rates. The
com any has also made = great reduction
in the tolls heretofore charged for tele-
graphic money order, which has grown to
be . very important branch Of their bus
iness, principally because it affords cheap
and rapid mode of transferring money from
one point to another, without unnecessary
delay. This reduction in rates not only ex-
tends to every point in this country, but to
Europe also, and messages can NOS be
transmitted by cable from Leavenworth to
London and other European cities, for forty
Eve cents per word, which puts it within
the reach If all.
