The state Debt.
ICalcasleu GazettA.l

Many will favor q thorough sitting Of the
debt, with view to eliminating therefrom
al fraudulent debts, and this. we think, the
best course, II practical.
Whilst we believe that the State should do
Its utmost to pay Its just debts, 1t should not
be held to pay that for which 1t received no
benefit. We think that Immediately after
the Assem- bling OF the convention, COM
mittee OF Its ablest men should be appointed,
with power to send for men and papers,
charged with the duty OF thoroughly examin-
ing into the State debt; they to make a COM
plete report to the convention Of the charac-
ter OF the State debt and the benefit derived
by the State This we think would reduce
the debt to a reasonable limit, which, with q
low rate of interest, the State would be able
to pay, and at the same time do justice to its
creditors.
We advocate this view from sense Of JUS
tice, believing that the honest creditor should
be paid, and not because we are at all alarm
ed at the sad picture which has been drawn
of the woeful plight In which the State will
be placed by injuriDg her credit. Indeed we
think provision should be incorporated In
the constitution forever prohibiting the State
from contracting any debt beyond It's reve.
nue.. In the past years OF extravaganza and
reckless expenditure OF public funds want
OF credit proved an incalculable benefit. Had
this State been without credit we would never
have known the dark days OF carpet t-baggers
and Warmoth and Kellogg would have
sought more profitable fields Of their peculiar
talent

WAsBTNaToN April TO- The postponeinent
OF the remaining election cases In New Or
leans till fall is IN consequences Of events here
and by order from the Department Of Justice.
Similar orders had been issued In regard to
the Maryland and Florida cases nearly o
month ago. but for some reason the Louis
lana cases were allowed to 60 on. The pres
ent action. however, may be- considered as
postponing them indefinitely indeed, ac-
cordng to present indications here, the post
ponement means practically the abandon
ment of them altogether.
A caucus will be called tomorrow, immedi-
ately after the.announeement Of committees.
for the consideration of the question whether
general legislation shall be proceeded with or
not. liz impossible to predict what Will be
the decision of the caucus, but the general be-
lief seems TO be that II II is decided to take
Mp other matter than the appropriation bills,
II will also be desired ID oconfine the additional
legislation to the bill outlined the other day
by Alex. Stephens. providing for free coinage
of silver the Issue Of bullion certificates
based upon silver OF gold alike. the substitn-
tlon Of greenbacks for national bank notes.
and prohibiting the further Increase ot Inter-
est bearing debt. Such a bill will undoubtedly
receive the sanction Of a majority Of the Dem
ocratio Caucus and would be likely TO pass
both houses Of Congress. Az appears from the
above description, 1t Is designed TO be an on-
nibns bill, embracing In one form sr other all
the leading financial propositions now before
the country.
The recent gratifying result of the Demo
cratic-G -Gieenback coalition In Michigan, cut
ting down the Radical majority from 10000 to
less than 5000, has encouraged that portion oi
the Democratic party which favors M
tional alliance with Greenbaekers. Thus II
Ia probable that the bill above described.
which is designed as a platform Of the pro-
posed coalition, will be brought into Con
gress this session In order to force the ad-
minletratlon to make record for The Repub-
liean party on II before the fall election.
There is not particle of doubt that the Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers will unite in Ohio

Political Excitement In Cincinnati = Al
Improperly Naturalized Citizen
Elected Mayor.

CINCINNATI, April 10.--Some excitement
was created this morning by the statement
that G. jacob IT,. just elected mayor, had not
taken out naturalization papers, and there
is Ineligible. The records seem t. sustain the
statement, and the public is anxiously walt
ing for Jacobs to show up.
CINCINNATI, April 10.-The matter Of Jacob,
the elected mayor. has taken another turn.
This morning 1t was alleged that he was incl
igibie because he was not naturalized. II
appears he made oath that he was q years
old In October, 1856, when In reality he could
not have been q tiff the following November.
The Democrats say the naturalization papers
are therefore fraudulent, and he Is not q citi-
zen, and cannot be installed as mayor.
