She Aided Fire With Fowler.
Curdsville, Dec. 30.-Last Saturday
night Mrs. Dickerson, in attempting to
aid fire which she had kindled, seized
a keg containing some blasting powder,
and threw a handful on the fire. The
fash reached the keg and a tremendous
explosion followed, enveloping her in u
sheet of flame. She was so badly burned
that she died this morning. Three Of
her children who were in the room at
the time of the explosion, were also
very badly burned. Two of them are
not expected to live.

Now for another spicy chapter in the
Sheridan-Schurz debate. The general
has forwarded his reply to the doughty
secretary Of the interior, and obliges
that gentleman with the specifications
Of wrongs on which the general rallied.
1t Is no doubt an incisive and complete
document, just in Sheridan's style.
But we venture the opinion that the
honorable secretary will come back on
him and ask why tho derelictions and
wrongs mentioned were not transmit
ted through the proper channel to him,
that he might correct the abuses, all
Of which was plainly the duty Of an
officer high in the military branch of
the government, and who is supposed
to have ut least a modicum Of interest
in the we'll being Of that government.

The past year makes most unpleasant
showing for the railway business. The de-
preston Of the three previous years con-
tinues; business has actually grown worse,
the railroad earnings for 1877 showing larger
relative decrease from 1876 than at any period
ia eleven years. The number of miles Of line
built during the past year was 2177 less chan
any year since 1860; most Of these roads,
moreover, were narrow gauge. There was a
falling off in railroad earning of $25, 476,055,
and at the same time an increase in operating
expenses The falling off in dividends paid
was nearly $1OOoO,OOO. In twelve States no
road paid any dividend at all; the average
dividend paid was 2.59 per cent against AZ per
cent In 1874. Altogether the railroad returns
for 1877 are most unsatisfactory.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Four parishes have held their conventions
and appointed delegates to the State conven-
tion to meet in Baton Rouge on the fifth of
August. The Ouachita convention instructed
against convention and sends nine dele
gates. Concordia sends two delegates. but
we are not informed as TO the position taken
by the convention Of that parish on the con-
stitutional convention question. We assume,
however, that the two votes of Concordia have
been instructed againsta convention. Bienville,
which sends five delegates, and Avoyellos.
which sends seven delegates, have instructed
their representatives to vote for a, constitu-
tiOnal convention. Thus, on the face of the
papers, we have so far eleven delegates to the
State convention instructed to vote against
the call for a constitutional convention, and
twelve delegates instructed to pledge the
Democratic party to convention. But the
Ouachita convention did not, as is shown In q
communication written by one of the first
men in that parish, represent the people who
elected it. There are seven wards in that
parish. At the election for delegates to the
parish convention the vote stood as follows
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1878-07-06

In the sixth ward the question was not
voted on.
Thus we find that the popular vote Of
the parish of Ouachita, so far as 1t found
an expression, was decidedly In favor
of constitutional convention. And yet
the gentlemen who took charge of the par
ish convention manipulated it against con-
stitutional convention and the expressed
will of the people; and, subsequently,
when the convention men proposed to remit
the question back to the people they were
voted down. Thus, though in the primary
election in Ouachita majority Of the Dem
ocrats who voted declared In favor of con-
vention, the delegates appointed from that
parish will cast their nine votes against it.
This may be in accordance with the new po-
litical evangel which holds that success
sanctifies fraud, but it is not in accordance
with the true Democratic doctrine that the
representatives Of the people must represent
the will Of the people.
We call the attention of the country papers
through the State to the remarkable fact
that, the popular vote in Ouachita parish was
by decided majority for a constitutional
convention, and that the nine delegates from
that parish are instructed to vote against a
convention and against the views and wishes
of their constituents. Will the nine delegates
from Ouachita represent Senator Stubs, or
will they represent the people of that parish?
