The New Orleans daily Democrat., 1878-11-10

Last week we printed an interview with
Capt. s. II. Gilman, relative to an enterprise
now on foot Of tho greatest Importance to
the commercial interest Of New Orleans and
the planting region tributary to New Orleans.
AS some inaccuracies occurred in the inter-
view, we reproducoit this morning with Capt.
Gilmans emendatons Either the state
ments of possibilities are true or false. IL
they are true, the enterprise represented by
Capt. Gilman will enrich the cotton
planting districts tributary to New Or-
leans over six millions per annum, and
therefore draw nearly the whole cotton
crop Of the South to New Orleans. Ii they
are not true they can and will be easily ex-
posed and disproved. But they seem to us
SO convincing that, in tho interest Of the
commerce Of the city and of the cotton
planters of the South, we reproduce the inter
view this morning as corrected by Capt
Z Gilman and invite public attention to It,

the capital OF this State from one city to an
other and back again.
The results Of the election this year teaches
us clearly the same lesson as the elections OF
1874 and 1s76--the impossibillty OF obtain
ing the views Of the people OF the State on
proposed changes in the constitution by
submitting to the popular vote series OF
amendments along with State, parish, city
and ward offices. It IL apparent already that
but o small minority Of the voters OF this
State have voted either one way or the other
on these amendments In New Orleans the
vote on the amendments Is 10 per cent less
than that for city offices, while In st. Charles
and several other parishes not single vote
was cast either for or against these amend
ments. The present election shows, however,
that 10000 voters Of this State are not in To-
vor of patching up our old constitution with
amendments. and demand some other way OF
reforming It's abuses. m~. ..

zens OF Essex county, n. j., called just before
the late election upon the two candidates for
sheriff OF that county and demanded q pledge
from them that, In view Of the large and inu-
entail German population Of the county, SIX
Germans should be put upon each grand
jury and fifteen ON each petit iury-a pledge
which was readily given by one OF the cand-
dates. This demand for race recognition has
become quite common nowadays, and no
ticket enters the field without it's German or
Irish representation; but the demand Of the
Essex Teutons was rather unusual. Should
1t be accepted us O. precedent, it Is probable
that voters will become bolder In future, and
demand that ali candidates for judgeships
shall pledge themselves In advance what
decisions they will render when elected; Gov
ernors what appointments they will make,
ETC. Candidates pledges, although often not
kept. are all very well in their way, but there
Is such thing as asking candidate to pledge
himself TO too much.

Heretofore it has been our custom, In com

To publish on the first of September Oh an

Justice to afford her an opportunity In our

Grant. 1t is said has been ordered homeby
his friends and supporters. Such, at least,
was the announcement made the other day,
at the meeting of the Federal Army Of Ten
nessee It was there publicly stated by Gen.
Heckenlooper that Grant had finally decided
to give I'D his grand scheme Of circumnavi-
eating the globe and would return to his
native country In @ few weeks or months.
There is no doubt that Grants course, and
particularly his European tour, was planned
for him by his supporters and followers. 1t
was thought that these would insist uponhis
remaining In Europe to within q very short
time before the next presidential election, and
for many reasons; the receptions rendered
Grant by European sovereigns would un-
eloubtedy give many people OF the North g.
higher opinion Of his greatness and repu-
tation; it was impossible, also, for Grant
while In Europe to. make those little mis-
| takes, unfortunate remarks, etc. that
| he was In the habit Of making here
and which would hurt his cause,
and, lastly. the distance of Europe prevented
| his elow-citizens seeing that little weakness
OF Grants which his friends used to make an
excuse for his more serious errors.

| Ulysses should, be kept out OF the
way until the presidential race Of 1880 was
ready and then return in triumph to secure
the Republican nomination The informa-
ton that this plan has been suddenly changed
and that Grant will return here at once is of
great significance. Evidently tie Republican
campaign has been suddenly modified; its
line of battle greatly changed. Every one
knows that the moment THAI Grant lands
here the presidential contest will begin. Ii
calling him home at this time, therefore, the
Republicans are evidently determined to In.
vite the Democrats to the fight. The Hayes
faction of the Republican party has long sinee
disappeared; that party is now wholly under
the dominion and control of the stalwaxts
and ready for Grant. II Ulysses obeys this
appeal of his friends and returns VIC shall un

THE AMENDMENTS.

The contest between New Orleans and
Baton Rouge for the State capital is likely to
be closer than was thought at first. Full re-
turns of the vote on this question have come
In from nine parishes -BienvlIe, Concordia,
East Feliciana Iberville, Lafourohe, Pointe
Coupee, st. Charles, st. Tammany and West
Feliciana-w which may be considered as, fair
representatives Of the country sentiment on
this subject. The returns show D majority OF
1888 for Baton Rouge, an average OF barely
two hundred majority to the parish. Had
New Orleans cast o solid vote infavor OF re-
tanning the capital here there would not be
the slightest doubt on this subject but only
one third Of the voters Of this city apparently
cared to vote on 1t. Instead Of having ma
iorty Of twenty five thousand, New Orleans
leaves the city only 1856 votes ahead OF
Baton Rouge. AS 1t Is, the question where
the State capital will be located In future, de-
pends not on the views and desires Of ma
iority of the people of this State, but on the
chance whether more friends Of Baton Rouge
or of New Orleans thought of voting ON this
question
The same negligence was shown here in
voting on the amendments. There was a
full vote polled for constables. Everybody
thought it his duty to vote on the grave
question, who should occupy these important
offices; but fifteen hundred voters did not
care who was Treasurer Of the State, and
twenty Thousand were wholly indifferent and
| unconcernet about the heritags Of amend
ments left us by our la+ae Legislature. Tt is
not just, however, to charge these twenty
Thousand voters with more than negligence
| or carelessness. Thousands OF them were
unaware of what they were voting for ol
against when they cast their ballots for OF
against these amendments. The practice Ii
the North, as well as in our sister State O.
Mississippi, Is to consider all votes not cast fol
o constitutional amendment as cast against
it. on the ground that the constitution of {
State should not be changed OR altered excep
at the demand of majority of its people
No such rule however, prevails here
There is no reason to doubt that the amend
ments are defeated, but q strange possibility
is presented as regards this capital question
The vote of the State will be found rather
light this year. Of this vote, however, less
than one-third seems to have been cast on th
capital amendment. A simple majority of thi
vote, or one-sixth of the voters of this State
have it In their power, therefore, to chang

Lake Charles gives positive intelligence OF
the election of George FL. Wells, ESQ, the
Democrat nominee for the State Senate In the
Tenth District. Mr.. Wells was opposed by q
boiling Democrat, and some local disaffec"
tlon In St. Mary and Vcrmillion parishes
caused fears to be entertained for the result.
The solid vote Of Calcasieu and Cameron,
however, redeemed tho district. 1t will be

only by sterling Democrat, but by genial

A Senatorial Joker.

Senator Edmunds says there are SC
many Presidential candidates on the
Committee on Judiciary, that business
is very much behind. He says that on
the day when the committee meets
Conkling will come in first, and find a
slim attendance. He will sit a little
while, impatiently, and say:
"Well, don't suppose there will be
a quorum this morning, and | have
other matters to attend to. If Davis
and Thurman would drop their Presi
Dental aspirations and attend to com
mittee business we could do some
thing"
And he will go out. Then Thurman
will come in and ask:
Where's Conkling?
When told that he has been in and
left to look after other matters, he will
say:
Where's Davis?
"Davis hain't come"
"Well," Thurman will say, "Conk'
ling and Davis have got the Presidency
on the brain, and of course we can't ex
pect ANYTHING of them. Call me wher
you get a quorum.
And he will go out. Then Davis will
come in, and say:
"Well, Conkling and Thurman are
absent again. Those two men are Sc
busy working up their Presidential
campaigns that they neglect their Sen
atorial duties"
And so it goes, every week, Edmund:

What Democratic Rule Means,

THE House of Representatives has
illustrated its ideas of civil service by
doubling the number of its offices and
lessening their efficiency; by withhold
ing the appropriations necessary to the
proper conduct of the public business,
and lavishing the Treasury upon rebel
claimants, and upon Investigations that
have disclosed nothing, and whose only
effect has been to give employment to
Democratic dead-beats and bummers.
And this is the party that appeals to the
American people for the power of the
Government which it vainly attempted
to overthrow in the field, and under
which it now attempts to reap all the
benefits that it lost in that failure
