An amendment to the original re-
port of the minority Of the commit
tee was adopted, i'll regard to the
rute Of interest to be paid, which
establishes the rate at three
per cent for the first fifteen years,
and four per cent. for the remain
der Of the time. The only good
accomplished by the Convention,
therefore, has been to secure re-
duction in the rate of interest. But
previous to the securement of this
pitiful concession, another amend
ment was adopted. striking out sec
ton one of the minority report,
which claimed that "tbe principal
of the consolidated bonds issued bv
the State is declared to be valid
obligation, and shall remain invio-
late" Thus We are presented with
the anomalous declaration that
while the debt is not considered to
be valid obligation" yet we must
pay every dollar of it, with three
per cent interest for the first fif-
teen years, and four per cent. there
after. This may, by a miraculous
elongation of the imagination, be
considered consistency. But we
fail to recognize anything consist
ent in the proposition. 1t is claim
ed that the Convention has secured
q vast amount of relief TO the tax
payers for the present, and that the
burden of the debt will eventually
be borne. in more prosperous days,
by their children. We do not be-
lieve that the bond-holders, ms a
class, are any longer lived than the
taxpayers. Therefore the inherit
ance Of taxation and debt which the
Taxpayer is expected to bequeath
to his children. must ultimately be
paid TO the children of the bond
holder Aud yet it is urged that
this shifting Of penalties and bene-
fits onto the shoulders and into the
hands of future generations is alb
solutely necessary, to secure the
present prosperity and preserve the
public credit of our great State.
When the new Constitution il
submitted to the people, the public
debt question will doubtless receive
due consideration at the hands of
the voters and taxpayers. It will
then be- seen whether they are to
have "chalk" or cheese"

THE FXTRA SESSION.


last. The following sumuary. Of
the fruits of the extra session is
taken from the New Orleans Demo
crat:
The extra session was ostensibly
called for Congress to pass the
army, executive, legislative and
Judicial appropriation bills.
The contests concerning the pas
sage of these bills, with certain
amendments attached, between the
minority, backed by the President,
and the majority III Congress. was
marked by Lo brilliant victories ON
either side.
By II strict construction of the
legislation enacted and a future to
provide Tor extra Judicial purposes,
the use Of the army as it was used
1T the polls III lo72-74 and 1876, is
prohibited; the jurors test oath is u
dead letter. aud no more appropri-
atoms we're made for the employ
nent of Federal narshals and their
deputies for election purposes.
The Democrats part IL, succeed
eel in destroying the force OF GER
tain obnoxious measures they wise
y attempted to repeal
The Republicans were foiled in
their desperate efforts to retain the
Instruments OF Federal judicial
power ut the coming fall elections.
This failure they concede to be a
disastrous political defeat. 1t has
already caused dissension and dis
cord among tie party leaders, and
has apparently reopened the breach
between the President and the stall
warts of his party, who accuse Mr.
Hayes of surrendering to the Demo-
Gratis to Leip his own wing of the
party; but how he viii help it is not
specified.
The most important bill passed
during the extra session was that
appointing and providing for the
Mississippi river commission. 1t
is to regretted that Hon. Randall
Gibson's amendment to this bill,
taking the virtual direction of the
commission from army engineers,
was not made law. 1t failed,
however, for want OF quorum. 1t
will be introduced at the regular
session, when its passage seems to
be assured.
One of the most important bills
for the South which was pass d was
that taking off the import duty from
quinine. The pro rata consnnp-
ton of this drug in our section is
greater than in other parts of the
country, and our people are bene-
fitted accordingly.
What was considered by large
class of people i'll the Western
States rs the most important bill of
the session, the Warner silver bill.
died in tue Senate, as many other
important bills have died or been
killed purposely before, by defer
ring them until the expiration OF
the session. The silver men will
resurrect their measure early I'D the
regular session, when they expect
to push it through.
Among measures Of minor i'm
portance passed by Congress before
its adjournment were bills making
additional appropriations for the
postal service, fixing the pay OF let
ter carriers, and the yellow fever
bill.
