There s no possibility Of misunderstanding
the meaning Of the popular vote on the
amendments 1t has convinced and satisfied
all the dubious and wavering as to the popu-
lar desire. Those few papers that opposed a
constitutional convention, q few months since,
unanimously acknowledge this and are now
az earnestly pro-convention AZ any IN the
State The Union Record, Claiborne Gnor-
dim. and Thibodeaux Sentinel pledge them
selves to support an early convention, and
call upon the Legislature for short session,
the passage Of an act calling convention. and
then adjournment In those few parishes OF
the State where the amendments received 2
majority. both the papers and people are now
eager to explain that this vote was not
due to any opposition on their part to con
vention or any Endorsement Of the action Of
the late Legislature in the matter Of amend
ments. In Baton Rouge, for instance, the
Adrocafe explains, the people being cut off
from the rest Of the State by quarantine we're
ignorant how the vote Of the State would
stand. and many If them fearing a constitu-
tional convention might be defeated and pre-
vented voted for the amendments, thinking
that these would secure them some slight I'm
provement I'm our government They are now,
and claim that they have always been, for a
convention In Webster 1t was the same story.
The people voted for the amendments with
the understanding that If a constitutional
convention were possible II should he called ;
II not, 1t were best to fall back on the amend
ments Not more than six Democratic par
shea In the State give the amendments ma
joritiea: and II Is extremely doubtful whether
the amendments secure a Democratic major
ity even In these parishes, as the vote for them
was made up Of the solid Republican vote,
with that OF few Democrats. As near az

In an excess Ut virtue Mr.. Hayes ordered
the suspension Of Supervising Architect Hill
when II waa ascettained that he had been In
dicted by the Chicago grand jury for frauds
connected with the building Of the new Gus

the course IF the administration when Tom
Anderson was indicted. tried and convicted Of
forgery in this city last winter. Instead Of be-
ing suspended after his indictment. Anderson
received letters Of sympathy fromthe author
