LETTER FROM COL. GREENE, Elk
STATE SENATOR. s.......

.a- GREENEsBoIso, La, Jan. II, 1878.
Editor Ouacitita Telegraph
have noticed with great interest
what you have said In regard to u con-
stitutional convention, but more par
ticularly in the last few numbers OF the
TELEGRAPH. 1 can only say that
know by experience that you are right.
Your party, the Democrats, have prom
ised the people reform; they have
gone into power by and through that
promise. The laboring and property
holding people of the State are loaded
down with taxes to u condition of pow
erty and almost goaded to desperation
under the new administration. They
have borne it patiently aud have paid
their taxes manftliiy, awaiting time for
relief. But bear in mind that necessity
knows no law, and when poor tax
payers children shall cry for bread and
have not whereWithal to be cOmforted,
this patience will cease to be u virtue
and these exorbitant taxes will not be
paid and then of all men on earth to
be hated, these promising, reform OFF,
GERS aud politicians will be hated the
worst. 1. t. i
When I, with my two friends, all
native Republicans, voted for and
elected Hon. j. b. Eustis United States
Senator, it was said by many leading
Republicans and Democrats that this
act was the starting stone to the final
success OF the Democratic party in this
State. Neither OF US did not care a
i cent, for we too had become disguised
at the extravagance and high taxes,
salaries, etc. The Republican party
read US out of the party. We cared
put little about party, but OF course
there was no other liue to fall into but
the Democratic ltne. But, 10! and
behold is it possible that we must fall
into line with a party that from pres
ent indications will prove as bad OF

With this number of the Observer my
connection with tho paper terminates. This
resolution In n sudden to me ~ it can be

circumstances over which have no con-
troll. A month and a half ago when I
assumed control OF the paper, thought
I hnd enter ed into AN engagement that
would be permanent at least for one year.
Tho contract which I signed with the
proprietors OF the Observer, was for a term
extending to LIST January, 1879. Since then,
indeed less than two weeks ago, the pro-
prietors informed me that they could mot
carry out their contract with me-. Aethey
made me no offer which I could accept,

draw. from the editorship of the Observer.
me, not because I Imagine that can edit
the paper, or please this people better than
another. but because have tacitly entered
into q contract with those OF tho subscrib-
era of the paper who have paid their sub
scriptions In advance, to furnish the paper
to them for one year. This engagenlent
hope the proprietors will see carried out,
but not being apprised OF their intentions,
cannot promise that. it will be-. II leave
the Observer out of debt, and its adVertis-
ing contracts executed so far as paid tor.
And, IL 1t is any consolation to those who
have placed their faith in me, can assure
them that have not willingly deceived

CONSERVATION has, perhaps, seized upon
the souls ofthe people at the Union Square
Theatre in regard to the difficulties about
the authorship Of s'The Bankers Daughter"
but they try to hide their dismay and are
to some extent successful. In fact, they
laugh the laugh of mockery at the appeal
for justice made on the part of dramatic
author. This is extremely like them; for
it is precisely the way the managers Of
theatres amuse themselves at all times.
Our plenipotentiary who waited upon these
potentates yesterday recounts his adven-
lures, discoveries aud observations in
another column. One of his discoveries is
that there now actually exists in this coun-
try, unknown to the people generally. an
enormous body of dramatic literature. This
is what the people have called out for this
great while, and why, therefore, do they not
enjoy the knowledge of its existence? Be-
cause the manager Of the Union Square
Theatre hides it under his half bushel-
keeps it, in fact, under lock and key. In q
dark and secret recess of that theatre are
kept seven hundred and twenty-seven-
note the mystic numbers-American plays
which they obstinately will not play SO
long as they can get good French ones.
That is where the genius goes to- 1t is
said that the author Of 1.-The Mighty Dollar
has already made over ten thousand dol
lars from that play. If we suppose that
each Of the plays kept in that closet would
have produced that modest sum we see at
once the money the manager has kept out
Of authors pockets No wonder these
managers get rich.

The Bulgarians are said to be looking to
the United States for king, and in this
they show good sense. While we are very
republican and are always prepared to re-
sst any real or imaginary attempt at au-
tocracy at home we take kindly to court
fashions, titles and all the paraphernalia Of
monarchy, and seldom turn up our repub-
lican noses at royalty and nobility when we
90 abroad. There is no good reason why
an American gentleman should not accept
q foreign crown as readily as an American
lady accepts q matrimonial coronet. and as
the old dukedoms, earldoms, marquisates
and countships Of Europe are benefited by
the infusion Of little warm American blood
into their ancient veins, SO an Old World
kingdom may expect to be improved by
accepting a sturdy, well-posted republican
rs its monarch.
There are pressing public reasons why
we cannot spare Ulysses s. Grant to the
Bulgarians. We may want him ourselves,
and, at all events, he is q citizen whom the
people of the United States prefer to keep
at home. In the words Of Mrs. Toodles, it

we can and do offer them substitute in
the person of Augustus Schell. We who
deny them Ulysses will give them Angus
tus. Mr. Schell can have an excellent
character from his last place. Tammany
Hall will certify that his rule as Grand
Sachem has been kindly, liberal and
patriotic. His venerable head and
his benignant eyes, shining through
his gold spectacles with the un-
dimmed lustre OF younger days, will
win for him at once reverence and affec-
ton from his new subjects. His reputation
as q warrior is established by his famous
campaign against the stalwart Norris
sey, and although victory did not then
perch upon his banner the gallantry with
which he engaged in the battle is conclusive
evidence Of his personal courage. Mr..
Schell has had his UPS and downs in life:
