on the State debt should also be
placed at a figure to enable the
State to meet it promptly. Some
are fearful that if the present rate
is reduced our public che lit will be
injured; but it seems to us that it is
better to make small promises and
fulfill them, than to make large ones
and fail.
There will doubtless be many as
pirants for the position of delegate
to the Constitutional Convention
in our parish, and We hope that
when the day of election arrives,
st. Tammany will decide to send

BAYOU LA COMBE.

New ORLEANS, Jan. Is, 1879.
EDITOR FARMER:
I am frequent visitor to Q por-
ton of your parish, known as Bayou
La Combe, and being highly pleased
with its many attractive points, 1
ask the favor of being permitted,
through the medium of your valua-
BILE paper, to comment upon what I
think may prove of some interest to
many of your readers.
/ have from time to time noted
the march of improvement which
has steadily been going on there.
The village is situated directly on
the bank of the Bayou, about six
miles from the mouth, and its APP
proach from the Lake is easy at all
seasons, owing to the depth and
width of this beautiful stream.
The first object of interest to the
stranger, and one of great advantage
to the inhabitants, is the Bordeaux
saw mills" which, being kept con-
stantly running. gives employment
to many. In conjunction with the
mill is q fine two-story store-house,
stocked at all times with an assort-
ment equal to any country store in
the State. A good fiat has lately
been built, and gives accommoda-
ton for crossing the many teams
which frequent the place. All of
which is under the management of
Mr.. ]. R. Toomer, most popular
and esteemed gentleman, Capt. W.
II. Toomer. his father, having late
" retired from the business ia favor
of his son.
Situated IN high plney-woods
country, and the water most excel
lent. the health Of Bayou La Combe
is most worthy of consideration.
Not q single case of yellow fever oc-
Cured there, although there was
constant communication with the
city during the late epidemic. This
fact has induced some parties to
commence soon the erection of a
house suitable for the accommoda-
ton of the many persons who are
expected to visit the piney woods
during the summer months.
Yours truly, OBSERVER.

rCURE FOR EAR AcHE.-There is
scarcely any ache, to which children
are subject. SO hard to bear and SO
difficult to cure as the ear ache. But
there is a remedy which, it is said,
was never known to fail Take u
piece of cotton batting, put upon it
pinch of black pepper, gather it
up and tie it, dip tin sweet oil and
insert into the ear. Put a flannel
bandage over the head to keep it
warm. 1t will give immediate relief.

EDUCATING THE ARMY.

The Secretary of War speaks ap-
provingly of the law providing for
the establishment of schools at all
posts and permanent camps, as
many of The soldiers sadly need in
struction;" and he recommends that
the authority of Congress be asked
for the erection of buildings for
schools and libraries at the differ
ent posts.
As a measure for the advance
ment of the cause of education and
the diffusion of intelligence, this ap-
pears to be move in the right di-
rectipp.
But where is the necessity for an
army of scholars? The business OF
the soldier has little in common
with states and books. The, degree
of his usefulness is entirely meas
ured by his knowledge of military
discipline, and his proficiency in the
use of the implements of war. The
best scholar in the ranks, SO far as
the necessity of his being there and
the interests of the country are con-
cerned, is he who can handle his
gun or sword the best. Are We to
have an army of hardy "Hotspurs,
whose sweet incense and most
charming music consists of the
smell of burnt powder and the din
of battle, or shall they be like the
fastidious and delicate Count"
who thought it twas a pity, SO it
was, that villainous saltpetre should
be digged out of the bowels of the
harmless earth, which many a good
tall fellow had destroyed" and who,
''but for these vile guns" would
himself have been q soldier?
What possible benefit can result
from this conversion of our military
posts into Government free schools?
From whence is to come the recon-
pense for the increase in the appro-
priation for the support of the army,
which it will be necessary to make
in order to erect these school build
ings at the various posts, and sup
ply them with teachers, school books
and Libraries?
If this measure is adopted by
Congress, we suggest that the title
of the Commanding General be
changed to that of Professor"
and that the term of service of pri-
vate soldiers be changed from three
or five years, whichever it may be,
and the time of his enlistment ex-
pire "when he graduates" By this
means the money appropriated for
military purposes will be converted
into o sort of o National school
fund, and it will then simply be
in order to secure food
and clothing for few years. a good
education, and o moderate salary in
the bargain, to enlist in the army

THE CONVENTION.

ed the House bill providing for the
calling of Constitutional Conven-
ton. 1t now merely requires the
signature of the Governor to be-
come a law, and there is every rea-
son to believe that Governor Mich
oils will promptly sign the bill. The
defeat of the proposed amendments
and the passage of this bill is, with
out doubt, the greatest victory
achieved by the people of Louisiana
since the defeat of Packard and his
pals, who disappeared as soon as
the United States Government re-
fused to sustain them. Although
the snake was dead, the evil effects
of his venom still remained, in the
shape of a Constitution conceived
by pretenders with view of rob-
bling the State, adopted and estab-
lished by usurpers. with the sustain
ing power of Federal bayonets.
The bill passed the Senate by o
strict party vote, some Democratic
Senators voting for it who express
ed themselves as being personally
of the opinion that it was unwise to
hold q Convention at this time, but
who yielded their personal convic-
tons to the popular demand, SO
signally expressed by the "voice of
the people" at the late election.
In many parishes throughout the
State the proposed amendments
were rejected by voters of all politi-
cal compilations, who voted against
them regardless of party issues.
The election of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention will be
next in order, and it is to be hoped
that the same unity of action will
prevail, and that none but the very
best citizens-men noted for their
wisdom, craftsmanship, intelligence
and honesty-will be chosen. The
Convention should be composed of
men Known to be true representa-
tives of public sentiment. who have
the best interests of the State and
people at heart, and who will do all
in their power, without fear or
favor-and in spite of the pressure
that will be brought to bear upon
them by the money of monopolies-
in assisting to frame new Consti-
tuition and wise organic laws, found
ed on justice and economy.
The advent of the present Admin
istration witnessed the withdrawal
of one army, yet another and very
expensive one still remains-an
army of useless petty office-holders.
distributed throughout every dis
trict and parish in the State, whose
existence is superfuous and whose
duties are myth, and yet they alb
sorb the substance of the taxpayers,
and their further continuance, while
productive of no beneficial results,
tend to keep us in perpetual p%-
erty. Many of these offices must
go" with the present Constitution.
They were created by our Radical
rulers, not that they were necessary
for the efficient execution of the
laws, but rather as a means of pro-
viding for those who served their
party best" 1t is estimated that
the saving to the State in this one
item will be no less than $500, 900
This fact alone should
silence those who have been op-
posed to the calling of Conven-
ion on account of the great ex-
,ense it would incur. The interest

POLICE COURT.

The following cases were disposed of yes
terday:
State vs. Samuel Hughes, found guilty of
vagrancy, was fined $50, and goes to jail for
% days. Hughes was arrested on the above
charge some two weeks since, found guilty,
and permitted to go on his own recognizance
until the following day, when he was to have
been sentenced; but when the appointed time
arrived the defendant did not put in an ap-
pearance. Yesterday morning he appeared
before the Court, throwing himself upon its
mercy and asked for sentence He stated
that he tried to get work, but was unable to
do So The fact of the matter is he de-
livered himself up to keep from starving.
City vs. Timothy Corpy, accused of max
ing an unusual noise in the street in the
night time, was found guilty. He was let 60
on his own recognizance until tomorrow,
when he is to appear for sentence. Judging
from Corpy's conduct in Court it is to he in
ferred that he is of unsound mind, and that
an insane asylum would be a more proper
place for him than Jail.
State vs. George Tronllitz charged with
by Armer i Co., of Virginia,
who accuse him of getting goods from them
under Misrepresentation of facts, while he was
keeping the Ellsworth House. Upon hearing
the case the Court decided that the offense
was felony, but as the complaint had not

ALL ABOUT TWO AND HALF CENTS PER BUsHEL
FOR CHARCOAL

| Recently the mine managers at Eureka de-
cided that thirty cents per bushel for char
coal was too much, and they refused to pay
more than 275 cents in the future. To this
reduction the Charcoal Burners Association,
numbering several thousand men, objected.
They declared that the original price must be
maintained, and refused to permit any of the
coal burners who do not belong to the Union
to supply the mines with coal. Several days
ago affairs were assuming very serious aspect
and it was generally believed that trouble
would ensue, which eliminated yesterday.
The coal men, the majority of whom are IN
naturalized Italians, took possession of the
town of Eureka, and threaten to do great dam
! age if their terms are not acceded to. About
clock yesterday afternoon His Exceilency
