THE ARMY BILL.

Hon. John II. Reagan was the only men,
| Der of the Texas delegation who stood out
| against the bill to provide for an army of
| twenty-five thousand men. We believe that
we interpret public sentiment throughout the
South, and even in Texas, when we thank
that gentleman for his courage in adhering
| to the right. No man, we presume, will be
idiotic enough to say that Mr.. Reagan is less
disposed than the other Texas Representatives
to support any and all measures necessary to
protect the frontier of his State. It seems,
however, that he has more common sense
and integrity of principle than his colleagues,
who became the willing dupes OF Tecumseh
Sherman and the army ring.
The sapheads and demagogues among the
Democratic representatives who voted away
the peoples money to sustain an army of
twenty-five thousand men, when fifteen thou
SAINT men are more than we have any need
for, will be called to rigid accountability, at
the next election, for their betrayal of Dem
ocratic principles and the trust the people
confided to them.
The Texas frontier is not unprotected be-
cause we have not troops enough, but because
the troops are not properly concentrated.
For instance, there are now six companies in
Louisiana. In the name of common sense
what do we want with six companies of SOL
diers in Louisiana? If the Texas frontier is
exposed, why are not these troops sent there,
and why are not idle commands elsewhere
sent to the Rio Grande? Judge Reagan
understands, very well, where the trouble
lies, and he understood that the Texas
frontier will get no more trOODs ont of an
army of $4,000 men than 1t would have
got out Of an army of $1,000. The
Democrats who voted to sustain an army of
$4,000 men voted against the principles of
their party and to squander needlessly, nay
not less than twelve millions of
the peoples money.

might at any moment plunge the city in ruin.
In fact, q great many incendiary fires that oc-
CURED were charged, rightly or wrongly. TO
the advice Of Kearney and his men.
At last the city government determined to
act. All the military were placed on duty,
the police force was strengthened, and ample
warlike preparations made for Kearney's ar
rest and the anticipated riot that would ensue.
1t was owing to the good sense of Kearney
that this conflict was avoided. When he was
arrested, and his followers sought to release
him. he persuaded them to submit In words
really eloquent and moving.
Voluntarily he went to prison, declaring
that he would soon be free again, and in this
he proved himself right, for within two
days the court had released him to return in
triumph to his friends. The city government
of San Francisco appears to have failed
ANONYMOUSLY in the fight, and that city
now lies over powder magazine that

work 1t will be with the torch and lynchings

We alluded the other day to the fact that
Judge w. II. Sims had just been elected Lieu
tenant Governor of Mississippi by 100000 ma
jority, and the Office to which he was elected
abolished by the same vote. This afforded
some Republican papers an opportunity to
be funny and remark that constitutional
amendment was the only thing that could
beat Democrat in Mississippi.
The fact Is that Judge Sims lost nothing by
the election. 1t is true that the Office to
which he was elected was abolished. The
amendment, however, that abolishes the
office of Lieutenant Governor, makes the
president Of the Senate er oficto Lieutenant
Governor to succeed the Governor in the
event OF the latter's death or resignation. It
50 happens that Judge Sims Is president Of
the Senate. He enjoys therefore, the title of
lieutenant Governor by virtue of the late
election, and the privileges of that office by
virtue of the fact that he is president of the
Senate. He Is Lieutenant Governor, there
fore, not only In name but In fact.

COMMERCIAL.

With view of making the Commercial
De partment of the DEMOCRAT as FULL accu-
rate and complete as that of any journal in
New Orleans, we have engaged Mr.. w. j.
Seymour as commercial editor.
Mr.. Seymour Is well known to this commu-
nifty, having been connected for twenty-five
years with the press of New Orleans Before
the war he was for eight years co-editor and
co-proprietor with his father, Col. Isaac G..
Seymour, In the Commercial Bulletin, recog-
nized, in its time, as the great commercial
organ of the South.

The value of the "silver dollar of our
fathers, containing 1927 grains of silver,
made legal tender by the Bland bill the
other day, was, at the time the bill passed
the House, just 93s cents in gold. The sale
since then, however, by the German govern
ment of large amount of silver that it has
held stored in its treasury, has sent silver
still further down, and the Bland dollar is
worth only 92ls cents. The lowest point the
dollar of our fathers has ever reached is 901L4s
cents in gold, some two or three years ago.
Atthe time 1873 silver was demonetzed bya
corrupt Congress, the silver dollar was worth
81 03 gold. The subsequent characterization
of silver in Germany, Holland and this coun-
try, and the discovery of the bonanza mines
in Nevada and Peru, had the effect of sending
it down over 10 per cent within three years.

PENNIES AGAIN.

tuesday morning we suggested that some
OF our retail grocers and market men should
adopt the system of receiving pennies In
their business, and thus aid the great move
ment for the introduction of these minor coins
into our circulation.
Two OF our retail grocers have promptly
responded to our suggestion. Yesterday we
received the following note:
New ORLEANS, Nov. q, 1877.
Editor Democrat Acting upon your sug-
gestion in yesterdays ISSUE please announce
for the proprietor that, on and after Thurs
day, November %, pennies will be received
for goods and given in exchange at the
Keller Market Grocery" opposite Keller's
Market, on Magnolia street, Fourth District.
On Tuesday, the day our suggestion was
printed, Mr.. E. King, proprietor of the Red
Store corner of Prieur and Perdido streets,
informed us that he will hereafter receive pen
MES and give them in change in the sale of
his goods.
On inquiry we find that the use of the penny
will make a great saving to the consumers.
Thus Mr.. King, one of the grocers willing
to go into the penny movement, tells us
he will sell butter, which is now retail
ing at 25 cents per pound, for % cents !;
coffee which is retailed at 20 and Is
cents for 16 and % cents; eggs which are
sold at Is for % cents. He will sell grits for
cents per pound instead of 5; matches for 2
cents; short candles for cents, and loaves
Of bread, which sell now for 10 cents, he will
sell for 8 cents. Soda crackers he reduces
from 10 cents to cents, and yeast powders
from 20 cents to IS cents. Other articles he
will sell at proportionately reduced prices.
It will be very easy for any one to take this
list of prices and reductions and see how
great a saving the introduction of the cent
would be to poor people,
We are glad to give this notice to the gro
GERS who have gone into this important
movement and we hope in a day Or two to
announce that some of our enterprising mar
ket-men have adopted the penny currency.

The New York papers have turned their
big guns on the street railroad companies Of
that city and are firing into them remorse-
fes5ly, for the way in which they bulldoze
their employees. These car companies en-
tered the political campaign at the late cleo
tion. They desired to defeat the Rapid Tran
sit Company which is before the Legislature
The success OF this company would, every
body In New York admits, benefit the city
immeasurably, double its population, increase
Its wealth and prove Of benefit to all, but it
would, at the same time, decrease the receipts
and profits of the street railroad COM
panies and these therefore have arrayed
themselves against it. The policy of the
railroads was to elect anti-Rapid Transit
men to the Legislature. In order to do this
they published notices calling on all persons
In their employ to come to their central
Office on the morning Of the election and there
obtain tickets from the president and infor-
nation how to vote. At the same time, the
employees were threatened with dismissalif
they did not vote just as the companies told
them to-
Here was the text for good article on bull
DOING, for here was bulldozing of the very

public expense, forcing their employees to
vote against what was the unanimous desire
Of the people Of New York. The worst of the
matter, and this perhaps gives greater vigor
and force to the denunciations hurled by the
York papers at these great corporations, is
the probability that the companies have been
successful in their efforts, and helped to elect
enough anti Rapid Transit men from the city
To defeat this measure before the Legisla-
stt1re.

few days since Gov. Hubbard, of Texas,
wrote to the Governor OF Indiana asking for
+ tile return Of the battle-hag of Texas regi-
ment that had been taken by some Indiana
troops during the war. The war was ended,
{ he said, there had been a general return of
arms and other trophies captured; he asked
therefore that this battleflag be returned to
the regiment that had lost it, as souvenir of
the dead whom they had left on the field of
honor with their old standard.
"A most natural request all will say. 1t has
been made thousand times before and never
refused. Many Federal officer has received
again the sword he left upon the battle field,
and many q SCARED and tattered banner has
been gladly handed over by the vctors. Never
before has a simple request like this been
answered otherwise than in a gracious and
kindly manner.
The ultra Radicals, however, seem to fear
that the memories and hatreds of the war
are more forgotten than they ought to be;
that peace and good will prevail where they
should not exist. They gladly seized on
this request to revive these ancient war
feelings and animosities and to begin over
again that old crusade of denunciation and
hatred of ''the rebels" The simple request for
III old and loved battle flag has been made the
subject OF an editorial in almost every ultra
Radical sheet in the country. Some boil over
III their vain rage and passion, while Others,
like the New York Times, treat the request

We have had long telegraphic accounts of
the Communistic uprisings in San Francisco,
yet these accounts fail to give a true compre-
hension of the dangerous condition of affairs
existing In that town. Peace, quiet and order
have not yet been fully established in the
capital of the Pacific Slope.
During the labor troubles of August, Sc
rious outbreak arose in San Francisco that
took the usual form of numbering Cinnamon
and burning their houses; in fact, any kind
of excitement, political, religious or physical
in that city always seeks the same outlet II

not well crafty without little danger to
himself, he revenges himself on the Chinese.
This rising of August, however, was prompt
ly put down by the police and militia; but a
far worse movement arose from its ashes.
The second labor and Communistic uprising
was semi-political and semi-military in it's
character, and was directed not only against
the Chinese but against the millionaires, of
which interesting class of inhabitants San
Francisco boasts larger number than any
city in the Union, if not in the world. The
leaders, also, of this second movement, es-
pecially one Kearney, were men unfortunate
ly in earnest, and therefore the more danger
Gus. Kearneys plans seem to have been to
arm the workingmen, and by force to assert
their rights. to Danish the Chinese and burn
out the monopolists capitalists and million
aires. To this mission he devoted himself.
His first work was to organize these men,
and this he did by Communistic speeches in
all the public squares of the city, and before
tens of thousands of angry workingmen and
loafers.
The speeches of Kearney and his men are
well worthy of Wat Tyler; in fact, in some
speeches Kearney might almost be suspected
of plagiarizing Tyler, for like the Kentish
rebel one Of the first acts he proposed when
he got into power was ''to hang the judges
and attorneys and burn every book that had
a particle of law in it," This and Proudhon's
doctrine that property is robbery seem to
have been the chief planks in platform of
the Frisco Communists. Strange to say, the
popular feeling was SO with them that the
city government was paralyzed for while
and dared make no arrests, although it could
not but be seen that these incendiary speeches,

THE Coal ExPoRT.-The depar-

Seattle Coal wharf empty for the
first time in several months. The
company has shipped away some
5000 tons of coal since the 1st cay
of the present month and, had the
rest of the fleet arrived promptly.
would probably have shipped at
least II, 900 tons during the month.
As it is there are but five days left
the month and probably none of
their vessels could complete load
and clear for San Francisco in that
time. The bunkers are now so full
that ship of 1900 tons could be
loaded on one tide, if the coal could
be properly trimmed as it goes into
the vessels hold. The Talbot and
Renton companies will soon begin
to load at the railroad wharf which
will greatly expedite their shipments.
HOME LUMBER TRADE. - OF the
ten million feet of lumber cut by
J. M. Colman's mill in 1876, less
than one-fourth was shipped to San
Francisco. TIE great amount of
building that has been done in this
city and Belltown, is the canse of
this large local consumption and
small export. We learn that the
schooner Aurora will succeed the
Frithiof, which will sail some time
