Cleveland is a beautiful city, and a
most delightful place in hot weather,
the cool, fresh breeze from the lake
tempering the heat, and making the
nights comfortable for sleeping. The
citizens are hOspitable and spared no
pains to make everything pleasant
for the members of the Convention,
all of whom returned home delighted
with Cleveland, her beautiful streets,
excellent hotels, and solid comfort
and prosp Gritty.

The same cause that lost our
townsman (Mr Doggett) the nomi-
nation for School Commissioner,
namely, locality, no doubt had much
to do with the defeat of Mr.. Will
Jams, of Brown county, for Clerk Of
the Supreme Conrt. He stood a
very fair chance of being nominated
if it had not been for the selection
Of so many candidates from this part
of the State before the office of
Clerk was reached by the Conven-
ton, in due order. He is a young
man, however, and can afford TO wait.

Another New Swindle,

The following item is going the
rounds of our exchanges; Another
new swindIe has been developed, the
modus operandj of which is as fol
flows: a pack peddler calls at the
house with a fine lot of articles which
he offers at ruinOus sacrifices. He
makes a sale and goes on his way.
The next day two men drive up to
the house with printed bills, giving
an account of a robbery of a certain
store. They claim the goods, and
usually bulldoze the purchaser into
giving them up. It would be well
for newspapers throughout the State
to give these swindlers the benefit Of
a gratuitous advertisement, so as to
guard their readers against such i'm
posters. People who do not read
the papers would then be the only
ones to suffer, and this class, it may
be added, are generally the ones who
are taken in by the plausible ras-
Gals.

The price Of metals has never be
fore been so low in this country. The
decline Of value since January, 1873,
has been SO per cent. on the price of
pig iron, So per cent. as to refined
bars, 60 per cent. as to Bessemer
steel rails, and 56 per cent. on the
best iron rails. The consumption
of these metals by the industries of
the country has not, however, declin-
ed in any similar proportion. The
lowest point of depression in the
business of building railroads was
reached in the latter half Of 1875.

The wonderful wheat crop of Ohio
for 1877, is bringing out marked
comment on all sides. There seems
to be no exception to the fact of an
extraordinary yield in all the cOun-
ties of the State. The Ohio crop in
the aggregate, is estimated at 3d.
100000 bushels; but we think, unless
the acreage was materially less than
usual, it will be found to exceed that
amount.

Narrow Gauge Railroads.
An Important Law.

We call the attention of our read
ers to the following important law,
passed at the late session of the
Legislature, authorizing Narrow
Gauge Railroad companies to issue
preferred stock, in lieu of bonds, to
aid in the construction of their roads
In view of the project now on foot
of building a Narrow Gauge railroad
north and south through our county,
as a link in the Maysville & CoIum-
bus road, this law is of great inter
I. est to our people, and we trust they
will give it a careful perusaL
A cotemporary, in speaking Of the
law, well remarks, that Railways, as
a rule, have been slaughtered, so to
speak, by their bonded indebtedness.
The issuing of bonds is a power
which a Board of Directors Of any
company can exercise to almost an
unlimited degree, and when issued
they have the power to sell them at
any price. The act authorizing pre-
ferred stock, limits the sale at par.
The measure is a good one, and
will enable Railroad companies to
push their work forward without
putting their bonds in the market al
prices that will force them to pay
from eight to twelve per cent inter
est for a long period.

The Murphy movement exeels in
its surprising adaptation for aetjoj-

power is greater, but the friction is
less; the antagonism is less. It ag-

A VIOLATION nP THE tribe.

The fact that Mr.. Burke has come on
fresh from Washington with all the great
State secrets in his keeping may possibly
give him some sort of superior right to
break into other peoples offices and in
stall himself as tenant, but we shall not
believe it until we have more light on the
subject. We're Louisiana regarded by
the Washington politicians as anything
more than sort of Fiddler's Green among
the States, good enough when a vote or
tax is wanted, but troublesome and of
doubtful status when an appropriation or
other assistance is asked for, this subver-
sion of the legal government would be
looked upon with considerable alarm.
But SO long as the law and order party in
the North is strong enough to laugh at
such silly resolutions as those recently
passed by the Ohio House of Representa-
tiYes it will pay little heed to the ag-
gressive acts Of the same party, even in
States where it predominates in military
strength.
In the parish of Orleans, the Democ-
racy are strong enough to seize tax col
lector's Office, a bank, or even the United
States sub-treasury, if they think proper.
In fact, it is not sixteen years since they
did take three hundred thousand dollars
in gold from the Mint in this city, and as
they are now going ahead they appear to
be rapidly approaching the same point of
audacity. In ousting Mr.. Fulton, deny
ing the process Of a State court, an even
threatening the officer who served the
process with Imprisonment, the Demo-
Gratis have committed a more open, though
not, perhaps, more decided violation of
the hollow truce which has for some time
existed under the taking title of status
quo. The open achievement previous to
this exploit was the subyersion of the
Supreme Court, which the President of
the United States denounced in strong
terms, but took no steps to correct.
Mr. Fulton may, perhaps, figure in an
other Luther vs.. Borden case, which
would probably, If instituted OF once, be
decided just about the time afr. Hayes is

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1877-03-13
ODD DOCTRINE,

Senator Zacharie is reported to have
argued in favor of an independent mu-
nicipal autonomy for the city of New Or
leans; that the constitution of the State
from 1912 to 1868 regarded that corpora
ton as a special and exclusive dynasty.
The constitution of 1868, however, de-
parted from this idea, and degraded its
charter to an act of assembly. The SEN
ator is credited With having said that the
Legislature should rather regard the an
cient than the modern precedent
This is a new doctrine for the constitu-
tional Democracy. The constitution is
the last, and, therefore, most solemn will
and testament of the people. 1t is not
to be respected as q precedent, but
obeyed as law. The constitution of
1868 repeats many of the principal
doctrines of the preceding constitu-
ton. The equality of all men is
therein recognized. The same reason
ing which would give Us back the
Faubourgs would re-enact the Black
Code. The same reasoning that prefers
our past and exploded systems to the ex-
preston of the present constituency would
restore the rule of the French monarchy,
and even carry out the theory advanced
some years ago that the province of Louis
lana should revert to France, because of
the civil rights enactment and the cleo
ton of Governor Kellogg. The reckless
disregard of the constitution which has
marked the career Of modern Democracy
fills the Republican mind with apprehen-
sion. If constitutions are but ''prece-
dents, how dangerous il may be, if the
Democracy obtain the power, that they
find the precedents of suffrage in the
ante-wAr constitutions and the eompen-
sation for labor in the industrial economy
Of the same period. It is an odd doc
trine that constitutions are but prece-
dents, that the first statute repeats the
last, and that the first will annuls the
codicil. Mr.. zacharie is, we believe, q
counselor at law. We hope he win adj
wise his clients, as Counselor Ogden found
occasion to do, that the doctrine which
he may be compelled to advocate as an
attorney for the rights Of others is by no
means that which regulates his own moral
on political opinions.
