Senator Blaine is making but little capi-
tai out OF the Southern question. People
generally believe that he has personal ends
in view rather than the good OF the
country. What the business world most
wants just at this time is rest from
: political strife. Speaking Of the committee
appointed to conduct the investigation. the
stock Report" says: ~ very fair idea
Of the estimation in which the Blaine pro-
posed Investigation is held by the indi-
viduai members Of the Senate, may be had
by observing how dificuIt it was to get
Republican Senators to serve on it, and
finally the 'caliber Of those who accepted
the position. Senator Teller. one Of the
weakest Of Western Senators, Chairman
Cameron, OF Wisconsin, kirkwood. Mitch
oil and Plumb were the first selections.
Of these Mitchell and Plumb positively
declined, and Hoar AMI McMillen were
then actually compelled to serve. The
Democrats are beaded BY Bayard, and Re-
pnblicans are free TO admit that the tail
end Of the committee is the strongest.
Another dispatch says that Blaine was
much dissusted at his failure to get any
I. Republican Senator Of prominence to serve
on his committrc---a failure, however.

than the real one"

The constitutional amendments, after
the Senate, were tsraiiroaded'' through
that body Without dissenting voice.
It is matter Of congratulation that
there has been no executive session OF
the House, and that Mr.. Wise of Caddo
could say truly: ,a- ta.st .in,s! (
We came to legislate for the people,
not to construct a constitution for them,
or to remedy defects in this uusubststn-
tial and unsatisfactory manner. We
have no authority to do any such work.
Our constituents expected that we
would carry out their requests-aye, i
might say their demands, and call a
constitutional convention. 1t Is USE
less to deny that the people, with great
unanimity, desire that this General
Assembly should call u convention. j
admit that large and respectable
class of people in the city of New
Orleans, and many good men outside
of the city, may differ upon this point,
but it is almost O unanimous senti-
ment that convention should be
called. / have taken pains to ascertain
the feelings of the people of the section
to which belong, and assert that
there is not respectable minority of
people in the upper Red river country
that opposes u constitutional conven-
ton, and yet, Mr.. Speaker, there are
members upon this floor who believe
this to be u fact, and refuse to obey the
instructions of their constituents. t'
A few days ago, In conversation with
members upon this subject, L was told
that whilst this was true they did not
think that the people themselves were
capable of judging, and that, therefore,
they would not be bound by their in
structions. The same good fortune
which led the people to send these gem
tlemen to occupy places on this floor
should attend these gentlemen in q de-
sire for convention. L believe it to
be the duty of representative to re-
feet the sentiments of his constituents.
If his conscience will not allow him to
carry out their views, I think that in
honor and good faith he should resign.
Whilst / may not fully subscribe to |
the proposition that the voice of the
people is the voice of God, do say
that there is no safe rule other than that
of abiding by. the will OF the majority,
else we are Mt sea- Hence it would be
sanwis7 to refuse to listen TO the de-
naands of the people that a convention
should be held. In the campaign of
1876 the Democratic and Conservative
speakers declared that the consultation

THE RETURNING BOARD CASE.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. E11.--Louis
Montplaiser and James Prince, the col
ored jurors in the Anderson case, said
to responsible parties that their verdict
of .guilty, but recommended to the
mercy ofthe Court was given under
the impression that this was tanta-
mount to an acquittal, and were so in
formed by the other jurors. Both are
extremely young men, neither over %,
and it is claimed that Prince is dis
qualified as u juror, having been born
in 1858. Anderson has dispatch
signed by John Sherman, Stanley Mat
thews, Hale and White, earnestly pro-
testing his innocence of any fraud, and
denouncing his trial as an exhibition OF
bitter sectional partisanship. j. Madi-
son Wells was released on $40, 900 bond.
The dispatch to Anderson is as fol-
lows: "Washington, Feb. 4, 1s7S.-Col.

der present circumstances, to assure
you of our unhesitatfng belief that in

accused and maliciously Prosecuted !;
that the proceeding against you, though
in the form of law, Is without the sub
stance OF justice; that we hereby tender
our earnest sympsthies, and express

IS Welnotice that the Senate has passed
joint resolution proposing amend
ments to the present constitution.
There was great unanimityin the vote,
and the utmost harmony and good
feeling prevailed. There was not u
single dissenting voice, only four abb
sentees, and the joint resolution pro-
posing constitutional amendments had
ga happy time' in passing through the
Senate. Possibly Demas may have
arisen to.a point Of order, or Senator
White may have discovered u slight
defect in the resolution, or Senator
Robertson may have made little dill
atory motion of some kind, but the
resolutions had little trouble in getting
through the Senate. In fact, the vote

Meanwhile, the House Of Represen-
tatives is considering the question OF
amendments, or a new constitution.
This body does not appear to be so
unanimous as the Senate. A few
members OF the House manifest dis
position to redeem the main pledges
made by the Democrats to secure the
vote of the State, to-wit, its full re-
demption; but their numerical strength
does not appear equal to the task before
them. Possibly, they can defeat the
resolution submitting amendments, but
the unanimous voice OF the Senate will
defeat any movement in favor Of call

preparations of both the Russians and Turks
around Constantinople continue.
The Porte has issued a circular to its
representatives abroad. 1t recognizes the
treaty of San Stefano the result of re-
verses sustained by Turkey in the late war,
and expresses a determination to carry out
loyalty the terms of the treaty, but de-
clares that the Porte would nevertheless
regard as opportune any notifications
which might be made by benevolent inter-
ventiOn Of the Powers and moderation of
Russia. The circular concludes by stating
that whatever may be the issue of present
negotiations the Porte pledges itself to carry
out projected reforms.
London dispatches show that a quieter
feeling existed throughout the European
capitals, the general impression prevailing
that WAT would be averted in some way.
A Constantinople dispatch of the 18th
says: The Porte is removing valuables, arms
and Munitions to Scutari, and considering
the question of transferring the Government
there, to avoid being forced into an al
lance by one of the belligerents occupying
Constantinople, in the event of war.
