| for the Fiscal Year, Ending June 80,
- 1879. -
The following in regard to the ChebOy-
gan harbOr is from the annual report of
Major Harwood, engineer in charge of
the improvement. tits to be hoped that
the recommendations therein may be
carried out. We think that the growing
importance of our harbOr demand that
they should and at an early day. Private
enterprise has done much toward per-
fecting the harbor and we think it no
more than right, considering the impor-
lance of the harbOr to the lake commerce,
that the government should complete
the work:
Since 1875 the project of obtaining a
channel 200 feet wide from the mouth of
the river to the Straits of Mackinaw has
been steadily prosecuted, and depth of
thirteen feet of water has been obtained.
Last year operations were continued till
the appropriation was exhausted, with
the effect of nearly completing the chan
mel, and 1886 cubic yards of material
were dredged. A stretch of 600 feet in
length by % in width is still undredged.
The $1,000 lately made. available will
complete this work during the coming
fiscal year. Owing to the low stage OF
water this year the steamers of the
Western Transportation Company have
been unable to touch at this harbOr. In
order to give them, as we'll as other YES
sells, the requisite facilities for entering,
turning and leaving the channel, width
of seventy-6ye feet about its axis should
be dredged to clear depth of fifteen
feet, at cost probably of $3.50. To
make the channel a complete one, pro-
tecting pier, to, break off the seas from
the northwestern storms should be built
on the western limit of the channel.
Besides what has already been built by
private enterprise, there will be needed
$500 lineal feet of pile and edging pier
ing at probably cost of $4,000. There
fore to complete the ChebOygan harbor,
i'm manner to satisfy commerce, $685.
600 could prOftably be expended during
the season of 18S0-81. ALI of 81 900 have
been expended already on thif work, ex-
cepting $3,033.05. -e.a,t,,..

The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-03-18

The citizens of New Orleans and Of the
State have devolved upon them to-day the
duty to vote for delegates to O constitutional
convention. Upon the manner In which that
duty is performed the interests Of the city
and of Louisiana depend for at least o gene
ration. At such an important election there
should be q full outpourlng of the people and
a large vote polled. No citizen should fau to
cast his ballot, and especially no Democrat
should remain away from the polls. The po-
litical complexion Of the convention Is virtu-
ally settled, but the delegates thereto should
have at their backs majority OF tho voters
of the State. reckoned by ballots actually
thrown. They will have more confidence In
the result Of their work II they know that
they are sustained by public sentiment. For
this, among other reasons, we should have a
full vote. 1t Is hoped that every citizen is
alive to the importance OF the issues involved
In the election and the great questions al
stake, and that full and fair expression o
opinion is had. Let everybody vote. Louisi
ana is about to enter upon new era, and nc
good citizen shotld fail to give this fact his
complete Endorsement. To do this he must
go to the polls.
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-03-18

The Times Is exceedingly anxious to have
MIR. B. r. Forman defeated by Don Pardee.
And for what reason? Some very powerful
motive must inspire the cagerness OF our
neighbor t. have Mr.. Forman defeated
since II is willing to support an Office holder
Judge OF district court-rather than see
him elected Some days since tho Times
made furious opposition to the candidacy
of Lieut.. Gov. Witt, solely on the ground
that he was a public officer, and no public
official, it said, ought to go to the convention.
Now, however, its tune Is changed. It still
opposes the Lieutenant Governor, but we find
1t vehemently shrieking for the election of a
public official, and one whose attendance upon
the convention would seriously interfere with
the public interest. And this Is not the most
remarkable part OF the business. Mr. Forman
who Is not public official, but who Is a
staunch and true Democrat and most worthy
citizen and able lawyer, the Times says must
be defeated the public interests require 1t
But Judge Pardee, who is an ofiice-holdtI
and bitter and notorious Radical, whose
skirts ur5 10y n6 means as clean as they
ought to be, II report be true, is the very man
to suit the Times idea OF first class dele
gate. Notwithstanding the Times, the Demo
Gratis of their district will to-day vote solidly
for Gov. Witt and Mr.. Forman.

The election for delegates to the constltu-
| tonal convention to-day, does not promise to
be a very exciting contest. In large ma
jority of the parishes there Is but one ticket
| In the field, which will be elected without op-
position. In not more than a dozen parishes
will the contest assume the form Of regular
campaign.
| In Avoyelles there are two tickets In the
| field, the regular Democratic ticket, and
another styling itself "The Peoples Ticket, .
composed equally OF Democrats and Repub-
/ licans.
In East Baton Rouge the Republicans have
nominated some candidates for the conven-
ton, but it is not thought that they have any
idea OF pressing their election. There will
also probably be some Independents In the
field In this parish, due to the opposition to
the manner in which the Democratic ticket
was put up by the Parish Executive Commit
tee, instead of by a parish convention nomi-
mating 1t.
In Calcasieu and Richland there will be
| free fights, no nominations having been made
by the Democrats.
| In Concorda the contest will be between
two Republican candidates and Dave
Young.
In West Feliciana the split In the Demo-
cratic party that originated Ia 1873 has been
continued, and two Democrats, Messrs. Leake
and Butler, oppose each other rs representa-
tives of these two Democratic factions.
In IoervIle and st. Mary there are splits In
the Republican ranks, one party of Republic
cans supporting a combination ticket COM
| ~ 70 nd ipon 10
and the others favorlng astraight Republican
| ticket.
In not moro than half dozen parishes
Grant, Iberia, Plaquemines, ST. Bernard, st.
Charles and St. John the Baptist there
be square fight between the Democratic
and Republican parties. Elsewhere, with but
few exceptions, the delegates to the CoDsti-
tutional Convention will be unanimously
elected, and thus fairly entitled to represent
the whole people OF the parishes from which
| they come.

Mr.. Cayanac, the State Registrar of Voter

Mr.. Cavanao, the State Registrar Of Voters.
issues an important circular OF instructions
TO commissioners Of elections this morning
He evinces a very eommendabe purpose to
secure fair and impartial election and to
have an honest count Of the votes. With this
view he instructs commissioners to give every
facility to Interested persons who may desire
to witness the casting and counting Of the
ballots, SO far ~ this may be compatible with
the proper c, nduct and supervision of the
commissioners. Under these instructions
from MIR. Cavanac every candidate has the
right to be represented at the various polls,
and see for himself that the votes actually
cast for him are not counted for somebody else.
IL he fails to attend to this he will have only
himself to blame for any sharp political prac-
tice which may follow, and which the Regis
trar of Voters seeks to guard against. Mr..
Oavanac has done his duty In providing for
q fair election II there are any crooked
methods employed In the count it will be be-
cause the candidates themselves do not pro
vide against them. Tho means are furnished
in the circular alluded TO- and the RESPONSE
bility for a failure to employ them will rest
upon those most directly interested Candi-
dates should govern themselves accordingly.

ANOTHER BURGLARY,

DR.. AtwOOds Residence Gone Through in
Scientific Manner.
a remarkable burglary took place at the
residence of DR.. Atwood, No. 1874 Ninth
street, night before last, or early yesterday
morning, which demonstrates that the gang
of experienced crooks whose recent exploits
have made them notorious, have not yet
given up their nefarious operations in this
city. few days since DR.. Atwood and fam
lily removed from Elmo, taking up their
temporary abode at the Metropolitan hotel,
their residence on Ninth street having been
closed for repairs.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs.
Atwood had occasion to visit the family resi-
deIce at the location above designated, ard
to their great surprise she found that the
house had been burglarized. The scene pre-.
sented was at direct variance with the order
~ condition OF things when last viewed by
the family, as the house had been completely
ransacked and nothing had been
left unturned from basement to attic.
A glance at the demoralized condition of
the household furniture assured Mrs.
Atwood that the premises had been thor
oughly burglarized, an further investigation
resulted in the discovery that with the ex-
ception of one revolver the perpetrators had
not carried off any booty. The real inten-
tons OF the thieves may be inferred from
the fact that the bureau drawers and num-
Der of small be- xes contained therein were
broken open and their contents scattered ct
random around the rooms, the object of the
burglars being to procure bonds, money or
jeweIry, which they evidently considered
locked in the drawers, while they were
too sharp to take the chances of
being caught with weightier booty.
A fortunate circumstance, now that the af-
fair has happened, was that all the silver
and plated ware had been put elsewhere for
safe keeping, while personal articles of value
were taken with the family to Elmo. En-
trance to the house was effected through
cellar window, from whence the door of the
ground hoor was broken open, which gave
free access to other portions of the house.
The affair has given rise to unlimited COM
ment and up to midnight 1.o clue, had been
found to the perpetrators.

Hennepin Comfy Man.

Messrs. Warner & Foote have completed
and are delivering their new map of Hen.

able map is to speak altogether too mildly.
1t is the best county map we
have ever seen, and it would be difficult to
improve upon it. 1t gives the name and To-
cation of every man in the county, and is a
birds eye view of the territory depicted.
Every road and lake are given, and in fact
man who knew nothing of the county by
studying this map would know all about it.
The same publishers have also issued an
admirable map of Lake Mlnnetonka and its

to make that success as complete and perfect

the attention of the world to our resources
