HOUSE.
April 10.-The vote by which the
House bill to refund evenu bonds
in bonds of small denomination was
lost, was reconsidered and the bill
laid over informally. These small
bonds would most certainly be very
acceptable. In all probability they
would be collected as interest paying
investments and not form a part OF
the circulation of the state. Even il
this were the case they would bring
great relief in our present financial
embarrassment. They are most i'm.
portant as a be ginning in the right
direction, and if their issue is a sue
cess as there is every reason to be-
Ileve it will be, it would be an encour-
agement to q future Legislature to
provide for the entire debt of the
state in the same way. The bill in
troduced by Mi. Muld, of Lincoln,
providing severe penalties for candi-
dates who offer to discharge che duties
of the offices to which they aspire for
a less amount than that provided by
law was taken up and read a third
time and passed. Mr.. Lesuer called
up the bill for the propagation and
protection CT food fishes which was
read a third time and passed.

CANDIDATES
For the Next Presidency /.

1t is yet-altogether too soon to an
nounce presidential candidates. This
much may be said however, we ex-
pect to advocate the claims of the
nominee of the next National Demo
cratic convention. At the same time
we may be allowed to add that we
have no idea who will be the favored
recipient of its selection. II there is
a prophet in the land, let him rise and
speak.
Before the end of this year the
claims of all the gentlemen now oc-
cupying prominent positions as presi-
Dental candidates in the public mind
will be thoroughly calvassed, and il
is possible that by that time some
new names may be presented. 1t is
evident that the printing machinery
of the country will soon be at work
furnishing the rural roosters with
ready-made, less than cost, patent
back candatorial articles struck from
the most elaborate and latest Of
modern presses.
Agreat deal of what will be said
will be based upon the idea that to
secure Democratic victory it will be
essential to CARRY the state of New
York, and on the other hand, great
stress will be laid upon the proprie-
ty at least, of winning the cam
pain without reliance Of any sort on
the empire state.
Since the last presidential election
very important changes in the finan.
ces and industries Of the nation have
been consummated. Then there was
q recognized necessity of riskine
every thing ON what, for want Of 9
better term may be called personal
availability. Now there Is a wide
and strong sentiment against agar
-donitting to New York dictation'

SENATOR JONAs's SPEECH.

| The friends OF Mr.. Jonas must feel great
qualification at the manner In which he ac-
quilted himself in his maiden effort In the
Senate of the United States. From the
meagre outlines Of his speech which have
reached us by telegraph, we have no doubt
that 1t was forcible presentation of the In
iquitous operations of the Federal election
laws In the South.
To the United States Senate this was, per-
haps, the most interesting feature of his
speech, yet, in respect to augmentation.
quick and effective repartee and specially In
the accuracy OF his Information and the self
possession with which he stood the cross-fre
Of such veterans as Blaine, Conkling and
Hoar he deserves even greater measure Of
credit. 1t Is very plain that there was good
deal Of apprehension in the Republican camp
In regard to the effect that was likely to be
produced by Mr.. Jonas's speech, and that
these worthless had entered into conspiracy
with Kellogg to throw him off his feet by a
resort to that most ungenerous but, ordi-
narily, most effective expedent for discon-
certing inexperienced speakers and Destroy
ing the force of whatever they may say. to
wit: the constant interruption Of them with
specious questions and irritating comments
It is not very great matter of surprise
that 50 experienced a lawyer and public con
troversialst as Mr.. Jonas should have
kept his head under the provocatlons offered
by Kellogg and his coadjutors, but 1t Is great
ly to his credit that he should have answered
them SO APPLY and 50 conclusively. His de-
molition Of Blaine and Conkling was partic-
ularly able and effective.
Mr.. Jonas has proven himself quite as able
to take care of the interests intrusted to him.
and Of himself incidentally, on the floor of the
Senate as elsewhere.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-05-23

The newspapers have lately discovered q
very unpleasant coincidence. The cholera Is
Just now raging In the holy town OF Hurdwar
Htndostan. at the foot of the Himalayas, anc
ig reported to have killed already 100000 per-
sons. The last time this disease visited
Hurdwar was just seven years ago, and 1t
travelled thence direct to this country The
route Of the cholera is almost always the
same. 1t is carried from India to Candahar,
to Tiflis lin Persia), to the Black sea, through
Turkey. Austria and France, and carried
thence across the Atlantic to America. AS 1t
takes more than a year to make this long
journey there is not much to be feared Its
onward march from India, however, will be
carefully watched, and IL 1t begins to creep
along Ito old pathway, measures will doubt
less be taken by the European governments
to stop Its course.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-05-23

According to the latest particulars OK the
late election In California 1t was the farmers
who carried the new constitution of that
State. 1t Is stated that they gave two thirds
OF the affirmative votes They voted this way
because the instrument contains law pro-
vfding that unimproved lands shall be taxed
the same as cultivated farms. There are So
600 farmers In the State who own only 60oo,-
goo acres of land; while 5000 ranchmen
and spectators own 5o,O0o000 acres,
which heretofore have escaped almost
all taxation, or have been taxed
70 very small degree. Then there is another
clause In the new constitution which filed the
farmers with admiration 1t provides for the
election OF three commissioners. who shall
nave fuii power to fix the rate of railroad
iares and freights in the State The farmers
claimed that they have been obliged to nav
three times as much for freights aadfares "a

St Louis Ia greatly apitatad over the nros

st. Louis is greatly agitated over the pros
peetive trip Of the United States man-o war
Waehusetts up the Mississippi river to that
place. The total number OF boys authorized
to be enlisted In the navy this year is $50, and
the Secretary of the Navy desires that large
proportion of them shall be boys Of Western
birth. 1t is to obtain such boys that the Wa
Chusetts takes her river trip. Already "the
future great city of America" has begun
making preparations for the reception Of the
Wachusetts and her crew. although 1t must
be many months before the vessel can reach
st. Louis. The ladies Of the town seem de-
lighted over the promised arrival, and even
the business men are carried away at the
probability of St. Louis becoming great
naval depot, which. they seem to think is
Secretary Thompsons intention. The only
difficulty IA the way Is the depth of the river,
which will prevent the Wachusetts going to
st. Louis unless there Is an extraordinary
rira
