become the money centre Of Louisiana and
surrounding States the strong, vigorous
life-giving heart of those States, feeling. In
simultaneously, their needs, their growth,
their strength and their weakness,
and invigorating and strengthening them.
Our planters could then more certainly
borrow money, and upon easier terms.
Our wonderful lands, which are now worth
less because Eastern capitalists will not
advance money on them, would be accepted
by our local banks, who know their value, as
security for liberal loans, and hence we would
soon see rapid appreciation OF their value
and Of the taxable value Of the property of
the whole State, with q rapid increase in
our trade and the advancement of our
public and private enterprises. Besides this,
these banks would impart q fexibility to the
currency which would go far TO prevent either
a redundancy or distressing scarcity of
money, the banks being able to adapt their
issues to the needs of commerce and industry.
Again: the re-establishment of our State
banks as banks of issue will fix the credit Of
the State upon solid basis and render the
debt an easy burden to bear. The larger por-
ton of our bonds will be Withdrawn from
speculation and made the basis Of a
sound bank currency. The Importance Of
this fact must be apparent to all bust
ness men who know that public and pri-
vate credit are closely allied, and that the
rise and fall of State credit affects the credit
of the commercial community to very great
extent. Hence the strengthening of our State
credit, through the operation Of this measure,
will greatly strengthen the private credit of
our business classes generally.
Finally, it is said that the silver dollars our
Mint Is to coin will be inconvenient to handle,
and that our planters, when they come to
New Orleans to get the money to pay their
hands, will have to ship it home in barrels.
etc. Now, were our State banks again to be-
come banks of issue, these ponderouS but
precious silver dollars would pass into the
vaults of the banks, and bright, convenient
and equally precious bank bills would appear
on the streets and elsewhere in their stead,
and representing their value.
We believe we have outlined the true tinan-
cial theory of this country, which is the true
Democratic theory, We think, therefore,
that the Baton Rouge convention will act
wisely In letting the greenback mania alone
for the present while it pronounces unquali-
fiedly in favor of the repeal of the Federal tax
on State bank circulation.

We are glad to see that Hon. j. d. Ham
mond has been re-nominated for the Legisla-
ture from Morehouse which parish he repre-
scented in the last Legislature. Mr.. Hammond
proved himself an able and worthy member,
We have at times commented upon the failure
of our late Legislature to give the people all
those reforms they demanded, but Mr. Ham
mond was not one of those members that
could be complained of for neglecting the de-
mands and wishes Of the people. He always
acted for the good of the State and in the in
terest of reform. With such tickets as st.
Landry and Morehouse have placed in the
field, we feel confident that the people will get
from the next Legislature all the many re-
forms they have demanded so long in vain
and that there will be no further postpone
ment Of a call for a constitutional conventit n
We are glad to see that the people of West
Baton Rouge favor constitutional conven-
tion. They do not say this in so. many words,
but demand reforms and changes in our
constitution that it is absolutely impossible
TO obtain save through constitutional con-
yention. The reforms asked for by the De-
mocracy of West Baton Rouge are many and
important; they include complete change
In our judiciary system and the abolition of
many constitutional offices. The late Legis-
Iature, which tried to patch the old WORKOUT
constitution with amendments would, never
think of attempting these reforms in such a
way. The resolutions adopted by the people

The New York Tribune says that John
Sherman has denied everything in his testi-
mony and that should be an end of the whole
matter. It enumerates what Sherman says
and calls it, what he Shows" what he
s'proves," etc, and thinks it conclusive. That
is about the position Plymouth Church and
the weeping Sherman take in regard to
Beechers denial, but somehow the world has
never been in the habit Of accepting a crim-
nails plea of "Not guilty" as conclusive Of his
innocence. The Tribune concludes with a
personal appeal to Mr. Potter:
There is q question of personal fairness
here. Mr.. Potter has charged Mr.. Sherman,
publicly and officially, with conspiracy; the
charge has been completely disprOved VIII
Mr.. Potter, who is esteemed as fair man, be
just and retract a false accusatiOnH
We can't see exactly what authority Mr.,
Potter would have to stop an investigation
ordered by Congress, but even If he could do
so, we imagine that, like all other judges, he
is not apt to accept the bald statements Of a
criminal on trial as the most irrefragible of
evidence

GOV, NICHOLS AND THE C0NVEN
TT0N,

without an exception the parish conven-
lions and meetings have fully, freely and cor
daily Endorsed the administration OF Gov
Nichols. The people have unreservedly ex-
pressed their confidence in their governor
Gov. Nichols deserves the noble tribute his
people have paid him. He entered upon his
Office under circumstances OF the most extra
ordinary character circumstances demand
ing the courage Of action and reticence. NO
human being could have occupied the guber-
material chair of this State without, by any
course he might pursue, exciting opposition
and fierce hostility.
1t was indeed post requiring the highest
courage, the highest discretion, and almost
the fortitude Of martyr. The Governor has
acted wisely and well, and the people of the
State have risen up in q body and done him
honor No man ever deserved it more. The
universal Endorsement of Gov. Nichols adj
ministration which has come up from every
portion of the State is the due of true, pa
tient, conscientious, patriotic and able Exec
utive.
A very iniudicious effort was made by the
anti-conventionists to identify Gov. Nichols
with their cause. Indeed, they so loudly
proclaimed that the object of the constitu-
tional conventionists was to unseat Gov.
Nichols and destroy his administration, that
many good men who favored q convention
hesltated in their course.
We took the earliest opportunity, In behalf
of the conventionists, to disclatm any such
purpose and to cordially and fully indorse
Gov Nichols and his administration, 50 sue.
cessfully conducted under the most adverse
and difficult circumstances. We repeat now,
that the convention Democrats indOrse
Gov. Nichols and will under any and all
circumstances sustain his administration,
We believe, indeed, and we know that the
conventionists throughout the State coincide
with us, that no more unwise thing could
be done than to curtail, or attempt to curtail
Gov. Nichols term of Office. The convention
Democrats have never thought Of such a
thing, and 1t Is only the superserviceable
sheets and politicians who have raised the
question In their frantic and puerile efforts to
defeat convention who have ever created any
such impression Gov. Nichols, as the record
shows, has no truer friends or stauncher sup
porters than the convention Democrats, and
no more injudicious and dangerous friends
than the empty-pated fellows who are at
tempting to create the impression that the
constitutional convention movement Is an
anti-Nicholls movement.

The little folks are having hard time in
maternal aspirations. Minnie Warren, the
wife of the dwarf Major Newell, and sister of
Tom Thumbs spouse died in childbirth a
few days ago. The child died when born.
Only few days before, at st. Louis, Mrs. W.
Ell. Bristol, better known as Fannie Burdette,
who Is but thirty-two inches high, or eight
inches shorter than Minnie Warren, gave
birth to a child that weighed eight pounds,
the mother herself Weighing but fifty. The
Child had to be sacrificed, however, to save
the mother. The little lady's husband is six
feet high and weighs 145 pounds.

Interpretation was placed upon them when
adopted or not. The delegates from that

Macbeth.

This play of Shakespeare, so de-
servedly celebrated, as that master Of
critics, johnson, says, for the propriety
of its fctions and the solemlity, gran
deur and variety of its action, was rem.
dered last night to Wheeling audience
bv the excellent and popular trsgedienne,
Miss Louise PomerOy, as Lady Macbeth,
assisted by very good company. The
lsdys reputation tor superior talent IN
her different roles had preceded her APP
pearance here, and those who had the
pleasure of witnessing the performance
last night heartily sttestcd 1t.
Her power of holding her sudl-
ence spell. bound was well demonstrated.
by her strong and admirable portrayal
of passion when Macbeth, overcome by
the murderous deed he had done, would
not, at lady Macbeth's bidding, return to
Duncan's chamber with the bloody dag
gers and therein leave them. The
anguage here may be quoted verbatim
to show how rich Is the opportunity for y
display of fine acting
NucJeth:-
III 90 no more.
Look on Z again, dare not.
Lady MacJeth:-
Intirm OF purpose!
Give me the daggers: The sleeping and
the dead,
Are but as pictures; It's the eye OF child
hood,
That fears painted devil. Ifhe do bleed,
III gild the faces OF the grOOms with it,
For IL must seem their guilt.
The contrast between the faces of the
two al this iuncture, the fear Of Macbeth
and the determination of Lady Macbeth,
as she desperately wreDches both daggers
from him and rushes back to the scene OF
murder, is indescribable, and simply
places the lady wonderful ability beyond
question.
Mrs. Pomoroy-we say Mrs. because
we have heard the lady Is the divorced
wife of the noted "Brick" PomerOy-on
the stage, is as personally attractive as
her acting is excellent. She psrtskes OF
the delicate blonde style Of beauty, has
very Symmetrical physique, has rather
dignifed though graceful bearing, and
will, in the character OF the beautiful
Imogsn, in Shakespeare Cymbsline,
which she lmpersOnaIes IO'uLSh1i
be ones true Ideal of y
perfect aft" for the part
She is to play Cymbaline is one OF
Shakespeare's most charming dramas,
and as it Is the first, it may be the last
time q Wheeling audience will have an
opportunity TO see Louise Pomeroy sp-
pear in it.
We hope to see Washington Hsli
packed tonight, and give this lady and
company the reception they deserve.
The Fraser Pantomime troupe, which
appears at the Washington Hall We'd

More orthe Rogers ThcGt.

Yesterday Chief of Police Ripley re-
ceived q telegram from the Mayor OF
Pittsburgh stating that certain sus-
picious looking person had been arrested
in that city, with jewelry in his posses
sion Mr.. LANCE, son-in-Iaw OF Mr..
Alex. Rogers, from whose residence
large lot Of iewelry was stolen last week,
was informed of the fact of the arrest,
and in company with Officer Detiibaughr
left on the 4 o'clock train yesterday
evening for Pittsburgh, tor the purpose
of identifying the property. We learn
that the property stolen some time ago,
from Charles Sesbright, was sent to Pitts
burgb; also the church property stolen
from st. James Cathedral. There is a
regular clique OF thieves who are banded
together here for the purpose of stealing
articles and shipping them TO other cities
where they are sold.
After writing the above, we received
the following from Pittsburgh:
The Chief Of Police Of Pittsburgh re-
ceived a dispatch from Wheeling about
2 O'Clock yesterday, requesting him to
arrest the jewelry thieves. He lmme-
diately thereupon sent detectives to the
Union Depot to await the arrival OF the
train from Wheehng. On their arrival
q. the depot tdey heard that the
thieves had already passed through to
Allegheny, and they Immediately re-
paired to the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad depot IN Ale
gheny, where they cspied the men. In At
tempting the arrest one OF the roughs
made n desperate effort to escape, and
would, no doubt, have succeeded had 1t
not been for the timely appearance OF
officers Merrimsn and SeI!rIdge OF Ale
ghcnv. The prisoners were rough Gus
TONERS. and resisted all the way over TO
the Pittsburgh lookup. The Allegheny
officers put on the handouts, and even
then the fellows showed fight. In the
tussle Officer Merriman sustained severe
injuries 70 his hands, and on reaching
Smithfeld Stree. he WAS tripped by some
unknown party, who followed the prls-
oners and attempted TO rescue them.
While crossing the suspension bridge
one of the prisoners threw a quantity OF
iewelry into the river before the officers
could stop them. On their persons, we're
found bracelets, rings, &c. A sachel in
their possession is still at the depot. 1t
contains u chisel, some chlorotorm, ether
and quantity of wearing apparel. They
were locked up and will be taken to
Wheeling to-day. They arc supposed
to be members of the notorious Reddy
Waxter gang, well known in Pittsburgh.

Col. Inscr,oII and the Atheists.

The lecture last night of Professor
Mecbeth on "Ingersoll and the Atheists, ="
at the Second Presbyterian Church, was
very poorly attended. The lecturer
took 3 number of disputed points in the
Bible for his subject, and discussed at
length their truth and the shsliowness of
the arguments brought against them by
Colonel Ingersoll. He said that the only
opltaph suitable for the latter would be,
"Revilcr of Christ and wbltewasher of
Thomas Paine" When Ingersoll at
tscks the strongest, he Is in reality the
weakest. The arguments OF the Learned
gentleman were excellent, but his rapid
speaking and broad Scotch accent made
it almost impossible to understand him.
