A CURIOUS LUNCHEON PARTY.
AS soon as the last battery had passed Gen.
Todleben led off his numerous guests to
q marquee close by, surmounted by the flags
of oil nations, and under which 300 covers
were laid for a most choice repast, luncheon
having been provided at the expense Of the
Russian government. Toasts and good fell
lowship were now the order Of the day. Gen.
Todieben stood up and proposed the Gar
There were four bands In attendance, which
relieved one another, but for this toast they
all played the Russian National anthem
together. Then followed the Sultan, then
the Shah--the Persian Ambassador was

were made, the toasts followed thick and fast
Mukhtar Pasha's health WAS drunk. Sir Col

posed, in English, :" the health OF the splendid
army we have just SEEN" Thereupon Todle-

English army and navy, with " God Save the
Queen" and followed by Osman Pasha and
the English officers serving In the Turkish
army IN third edition Of "God save the

exhausted the party broke up.

and that 1t Is total change Of issue on the

TO acknowledge the wrong it has DONE
What Administrator McCaffrey proposed to

call your attention, gentlemen, to the fact
that It liz not the first time I have said 1t. You
will remember that something over q year
ago proposed thorough examination Of all

accountability Of public officers to thoee
whom they represent the proposition, reason"

were ordered spread on the minutes:
DEPARTMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS Cry HALL,
New O9leans, september 27, 1878.
To the Honorable the City Council:
Ge1atJeme,-I esesire to call the attention Of
the Council to a. grave charge which was re-
Gently made in one of our city papers. It will
&c found in the New Orleans Times of Last
Wednesday, the eighteenth instant. That
paper asserts positively that four thousand
loads OF garbage were hauled away By the
street contractors from the damping grounds
and used for filling streets In the froaa por-
ton Of the city.
This charge is aimed nominally at 5he con-
tractors, but really at my department. The
statement is that outrage was pegpetrated
during the current year and was still Ia pro-
gress when the yellow fever appeared.
The charge Is very specific and very abso~
Lutte. That paper deliberately says: "It CONES
to OLE knowledge upon authority abundanbly
reliable, etc. say that it did not come to
the knowledge Of the Times, and thaS the
charge Is absolutely baseess. Il is cleag that
the contractors could not have done this fla
grant wrong without connivance on nv part.
On reading this article ! Immediately adj
dressed Letter to his Honor the Mayor DENY
ing the statement and asking an investiga-
ton. Upon this communication 10 action has
been taken as yet, and in the meantime the
journal which originated the SANDER now
seems inclined to dodge the issue. The Times
urges In its edition Of Tuesday last ''the

WESTERN IMMIGRANT LABOR.

A correspondent writing to an ex-
change from West Carroll, relates as
follows the result of an experiment in
that parish with white laborcrs from
the West
A short time ago, nearly all the
white labOrers imported here by DIR.
Gaddis, suddenly determined to quit,
and return to Indiana. Their crops
were in good fix, their health fine, and
general contcntment seemed pervatling
their community, but they were bent
on going back this month, and sacri-
feed everything not portable. This
was a severe blow to those who adj
vanced them supplies and teams, as
they had no recourse but to take the
growing crops, and no hands to be had
to work them. These people were in
such haste to get back, that those who
were out of debt sold their crops for
$40 and $50. Some of them having as
much as twenty acres of cotton and
fifteen of corn, in good fix. They gave
as their reasons for leaving, that pro-
visions were too high, didn't like to-
give liens on their crops, ETC., but the.
truth cked out of the young men and
it was that they were going back to be
in time for the strike, which they as
sert will positively take place this
Summer, and they insist that it will be
carried through this time. They say
the South will be called upon to take q
hand too, sometime soon. Anyhow
they arc gone out oftwcnty-f five fami-
lies, only three are left, and they are
old men with children. So much for
Northern emigrants.

distributed. Do not our anti-constitu-
tional friends see the absurdity OF
either friend or foe to a new Constitu-
ton. making the tenure of Office of the
Governor a test? No Convention
would retain Gov. Nichols in Office
and turn out all the remaining State
officials, and no thinking friend of the
Governors would ask it. But that is
exactly what the anti-Convcntionists
are doing.
We do not see, and have never seen,
what Office has to do with the framing
of new organic law for this State. If
there arc those who do, we claim not
to be one OF them. Long before the
highest official in this State was thought
of for Governor, the TELEGRAPH was
pledged to itself, if to no ono else, in
behalf of the reclamation OF Louisiana
from the calamity which befcll her
when the Radicals overran her borders.
We are on that line yet, and shall fight
it out to tho best Of our humble ability,
even though we may have to fight an
age yet and under the present infamous
Constitution.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1878-07-19
THE CONVENTION QUESTION.

The first argument we have seen i'll
opposition to tho constitutional con-
vention is an editorial in the Union
Record of July 9TH and We do not
consider it good one. The Record
assumes that the new Constitution
would be Objectionable to tho colorcd
voters pei, sc. There is no reason why
it should be Objectionable to any reason
able and intelligent person, if It is
framed by honest, intelligent and
patriotic men. 1t certainly could
scarcely be more Objectionable to any
class Ut persons than the present one is
to the best class of our citizens, for it
would be hard to frame one that could
talk about deferring to the whims of
unreasonable creatures to the dctri-
ment of the public good.
The Record considers tho advocacy
of the Convention more a matter OF
sentiment than argument. Sentiment is
a very good thing to be guided by, if a
matter of fixed principle and c0nvic-
ton of public will is meant. But we
think there are many very strong
| arguments in favor of the Convention,
one of which, however, is sufficient for
us; and that is, that tho present con-
stitution is not fit for free people to
live under, and all the amending and
patching that can be done to it will
never make it fit.
| 1t is much better to prevent disgust
and discomfort in our own ranks than
! to cater to the unreasonable whirns OF
those who do not belong in our ranks,
in order to try to catch u few Radical
votes. It is Well-known fact that
disgust and want of confidence, caused
by failure to carry out pledges made
by our party, has caused some of the
best men in New Orleans to organize a
third party, in the hope of obtaining
the relief which the Democrats should
have afforded and there is danger of
their example being followed all over
the State.-Zcichlnsatl Beacon.
Junius said that the people might
be wrong in their opinions, but are
always right in their sentiments. A
sentimental Constitution is what the
people demand.

Tho Lake Charles Echo lectures the
Democracy of that section for its GRIM
inal Indifference to political matters.
They are not registering, and are thus
throwing away their votes and assist
ing the Republicans. The Senatorial
District is Democratic by 1000 MAORI
ty, and yet, the Echo fears it will go
Republican, simply because the Demo-
Gratis will not register. That journal
warns us, that if other sections do not
do better than Calcasieu, that the Re-
publicans will carry the State.

WHAT THE PARISHES ARE SAYING

We learn from the Colfax Chronicle,
in an article headed "3ang !-Prepar-
ing Thunder for the Coming Tempest, -
that the delegates from Grant to the
Baton Rouge Convention, arc in
structed to support constitutional
convention. We'll done for Grant, and
the parish that has been tried by fire
and bullets
In Point Coupcc, tho Democrats
held mass meeting on the 18th, and
appointed delegates to Baton Rouge.
Among the resolutions ssalopted by a
large majority" was the one following,
which we should say, is very en-
phatic:
Second-Resolved further, That said
delegates be instructed to vote in the
State convention for a resolution plcdg-
ing the party in favor of a State con.
stitutional convention and against the
proposed amendments.
We refer the reader to tho proceed
ings of Democratic meetings in jack
son and Tensas parishes, to be found
elsewhere, wherein there arc decided
Expressions of opinion in favor Of a
new constitution. jackson is as strong
In its advocacy as Point Coupee, if not
stronger.
! Lincoln has also come out nobly il
favor of a now Constitution. Claiborne
favors the call for constitutional con
vention cat as early a day as the leg
islature, in its wisdom, may deem saf'
to the interest of the State"
Now, Ouachita, here is what 20,
have said, and we give it withou
comment, mlcl, as we have cause t.
complain of your separation from {
friend who has stood by you wher
friends were few and precious:

dining, and after discharging that nee
essary Misunderstanding a session of
three or four hours-turns out, full, to

Bless your verdancy! ask that ques-
ton of the ticket vender at the Varie-
ties, st. Charles, or the Crystal palace,
or at the door of the Pickwick or Bos-
ton club rooms. There is where the
experienced legislator generally goes to
inquire.
All these calls on legislators time
in New Orleans in the course of day
amount to nearly all of the day-cer-
tainly to moro than Il day legislative,
and thus leave him no spare time to
introduce bill, or make a motion, OK
cept at the heel of the session when he
has become fairly exhausted with bus
mess calls, and takes to legislation as a
recreation. Thus it was that the last
Legislature was deprived from passing
any important acts, until 80 days or
more of the session had elapsed.
Baton Rouge can claim that legisla-
ton can and may proceed there with
out distressing private cxactions upon
the time of the General Assembly.
Baton Rouge is rural. The poorest
pedestrian can walk all over the place
in time to attend the mornings call OF
the roll. 1t is large enough and pretty
enough for. a State capital, and if Baton
Rouge does not claim it for herself, we
do for her, that the legislator will there
be compelled to attend to his duties
for the reason that he will be unable tC
find anything else to do.
