THE CONVENTION.

We print in another column petition
signed by u large number Of business men Of
this city, protesting against q constitutional
convention, alleging as the grounds Of objec-
ton the expense which convention would
entail, and that the needed reforms can be
obtained through legislation. What these
gentlemen refer to, in speaking
of legislation, Is not entirely clear
The DEMOCRAT recently published a reform
platform, and it was Immediately shown by a
very eminent and influential member of the
General Assembly that every suggested re-
form was impossible of accomplishment by
ordinary legislation because of constitutional
obstacles. If by legislation the memorialists
mean constitutional amendments, we are not
disposed to dispute the superiority of their
plan Of reform, If they will give US any evil
dence that any amendment Of Importance can
obtain q two-thirds vote in both Houses of the
present Legislature.
Either way we regard this petition as an
evidence Of the absolute necessity OF import
ant constitutional amendments or OF con-
vention. It is an utterance Of the most con-
sentative body Of citizens In the State, and 1t
explicitly admits that great reforms are
necessary. We agree with the memoralists,
and while willing to accept the reforms
through amendments, we protest that we dc
not believe they can be had save through a
direct appeal to the people and the assembling
Of q convention.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Sun has sent that journal a very sensa-
tional and untrue article relative to Major E.
A. Burke and the attitude Of the Louisiana
leaders in the Presidential imbroglio of 1867.
The Sun and its correspondents have long
since lost all repute for integrity with the
intelligent public, and little need, therefore,
be said in respect to the recent
attack upon the Louisiana authorities
The story that Gov. Nichols appointed
Major Burke to represent his government at
Washington, at the intrusive suggestion of
the latter himself. is simply absurd. Every
one who knows anything of Gov. Nichols will
laugh at the statement that he was ever
prompted in this or any other matter save by
his own judgment and most resolute and UNI
bending will. For this quality he is pre-emi-
nently distinguished, and it is notorious in
| the State that he always acts upon his own
matured Judgment, carrying a soldierly reti-
cence and resolution into his. civil administra-
| ton Of the government.
| The story in the san that Major Burke re-
ceived 500 per week from the national COM
mittee during his stay in Washington is
without the slightest foundation in truth.
We deem it simple justice to a gentleman,
who worked assiduously in our cause from
beginning to end to present the real truth in
a matter which an interested slanderer has
SO misrepresented. Both Senators White
and Texada positively declare that Major
Burke was agreed upon, without his knowl-
edge as proper person to go to Washington
| In the interest OF the Nichols government.
Col. Louis Bush, chairman Of the Executive
Democratic Committee. warmly resents the
slanderous charge against Major Burke, q

Give Chance.

The announcement of the rules, regula-
tions and charges that are to prevail the
Working Women's Hotel was drawn
forth considerable criticism, and some
not of a favorable character. 1t Is insists
ed that the prices to be paid for rooms
and accommodations are too high to en-
able the poorer class Or even the general
body of workwomen to become inmates,
and that the rules are oppressive. But 1t
seems to be forgotten that the institution
while 1t will not suit one set of female
employees, may fill the wants of another
set, aid that to those who can afford to
pay for its accommodation 1t may prove
a very great advantage. The late Mr.. A
Il. Stewart when he concoived the idea
of the hotsl evidently intended 1t for wo-
men who earn fair salaries and can pay
a fair price for board, but who in suet
a home might have comforts they could
not expect elsewhere, and especially es-
cape the danger of entering strange lodg
ing houses IN large city. MIR. Stewards

CynOphObia.

While we are deploring the utter con-
tempt of the law which led in West
Virginia to the numbering of a murderer
by mob, we are called on to chronicle
the extraordinary doings of party of
dog-lynchers upon Bergen Heights, in
neighcoring State of New Jersey. A
ferocions dog last Thursday bit and Sc
verely mangled child. The citizens
became excited ,and gang of men, mask
ed like the people down South and out
West who take prisoners from jails and
hang them to trees, made an onslaught
upon all the dogs of Bergen. We do
not admire the average town dog : we
loathe the white-coated Spitz therefore
we can be acquitted of any false senti-
ment in the matter but a masked band,
armed with clubs and pistols, slaugh-
tering dogs by the hundred, some OF
which, no doubt, were valuable animals,
looks little wild, within few miles Of
New York. Hydrophobia is a terrible
thing, but you must kill all the dogs il
you will abolish 1t. 1t will not be
enough to'kill half or thrae-quarters, or
nine or ten of the dogs of Bergen, but
you must kill all the Bergen dogs,all the
Jersey dogs and the dogs of all the States
bordering on Jersey. This is too much
of task for any masked gang. "Thor-
, ough" is the most impossible of political
or social maxims. The French Revolu.
tionists took to cutting aristocrats' heads
off to abolish aristocracy, but they did
, not cut enough to prevent the fresh crop
