ROWELL OUT OF THE RACE
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-07-30

The Washington Star has detective on the
track OF our public documents to find out
where they go and what becomes OF them. II
has discovered that fully three-fourths OF the
fiery orations delivered in Congress, instead
Of finding their W. y to the constituents OF the
eloquent members who speak them. are sold
at two cents pound to the junk dealers OF
the capital. There, at the junk shops, amid
old iron, pieces Of rope, and the odds and ends
Of creation the grand productions OF Blaine,
Garfield and Conkling can be purchased for
packing purposes al extraordinary low
rates. Many OF these documents afterward
find their way to the constituents and sup
porters Of these gentlemen, but it is when
wrapped around a mackerel or pound OF
cheese. How this comes about 1t Is impossi-
BILE to say, save that there Is base treachery
somewhere In the capitol. Some employe In
that building has betrayed his trust, and in
stead Of franking these speeches to the farm
ers of Maine and New York, wheelbarrows
them away out Of some back door and secures
his two cents pound for this eloquence wit,
patriotism and poetry.

New York is lucky In finding SO promptly
successor to Chastine Cox In Portfolio, the
Italian who murdered Bollender because the
latter would not give him employment. Por-
tello promises to become even more OF lion
than his colored predecessor. He Is 9 young
man, q desperate villain, forbidding looking
and very stiff and tragic In bis manner. BE
added considerably to his reputation yester-
day by trying to cut his throat with spoon
which he had sharpened for that purpose.
Portfolio is consequently the hero OF New
York Just now. Crowds visit the Toombs
daily to look at hlm. He has not yet received
any bouquets like his eolored fellow murderer
but as soon as all the horrible details OF the
murder reach the public mind, and when 1t Is
further known that Bollender left widow and
six little children without means, we may ex-
pect to see his murderer he public hero, the
lion Of the day, courted, capessed and bou-

Jere HARRISON, eolored, who SIT In Congress
from Alabama for two terms, has some mag
nificent ideas on the exodus question. He Is
going to lead an army Of negroes n orth next
year fully $1,000 are going from his district
aione). while Alabama will furnish contin-
gent OF 100000. Jere IS opposed to Kansas
that is, he does not think that all the negroes
ought to crowd into that one State. They
ought to dispense through the West, and set
tie Ia Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, where they
would be able to find work. Gen. Raum, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue. has joined
hands with Jere on this proposition, and tells
him that there Is room for several thousand
negroes in his own State tIllinoisl. II the two
can arrange terms, we may expect to see
Iowa, Illinois and Ohio, and the other invaded
States, becoming reliably Democratic. The
hard working farmers Of these States will
scarcely be able to stand the invasion 81 al
army of 100. COO negroes

The rival claims Of Grant and Sherman are
being fercely debated just now among the
faithful Id certain sections. The other day the
twelfth ward OF Baltimore called meeting to
settle the differences In the party and decide
which OF the two should receive the support
OF the ward. Baltimore does not seem TO be
q good place for meeting Of the kind, for
there were present only three policemen, two
reporters and colored man. There was not
much enthusiasm, and the important object
OF the meeting seems to have been lost sight
OF, the eolored man not having an opportunity
to express his preference. Evidently there Is
not much Republican electricity in the atmos-
phere OF Maryland.

The general regret that Congress failed to
bring Minister Seward to punishment will be
revived as a consequence of certain disclos-
ures recently made by Col Mosby, consul at
Hong Kong. Seward, it will be remembered,
escaped because Of the filibustering tactics OF
the Republican minority. The administra-
tration now seems disposed to come to his
further relief. Col. Mosby reports that $4,000
Of fees collected before his arrival had never
been accounted for, and expresses the opinion
that the government has been defrauded Of not
less than $4,000 In the last seventeen years.
Instead of receiving the thanks Of the admin
istration for his zeal 1t is intimated that he is
too officious, ana will probably be recalled.
1t lis evident that there is considerable crook
edness about this Chinese business. It is also
evident that Mosby has not been In the fold
long enough to know his duty as good Re-
publican. He has too much conscience, too
many scrupIes and too long tongue.

The Chicago Tribune is shouting with glee
over what it styles the deposition Of King
Cotton. For the first time In American his
tory, cotton last year vas not our leading
export For the eleven months ending May
80, 1879, our exports Of grain were valued at
S192,000,000 and those Of cotton at only
Sl59, 600, 600. The Tribune thereupon declares
that the Southern planter must give way to
the Northern farmer This sequel does not
follow at all from these facts. 1t Is true
King Cotton is no longer sole ruler Of this
country, but, at the same time, this increase

THE CONVENTION AND THE CITY.

The PicnUine censures the late Convention
for It's omission to take In charge the reorgan-
ization Of our city government, and to apply
the proper remedies for Its numerous troubles
and embarrassments.
This is unreasonable, hypercritical and I'M
just
The Convention acted wisely in referring
this whole subject to the Legislature. That
Ia the proper body to revise all municipal cor
porations. The profound investigation, COM
prehensive knowledge and large research
needed to perform this duty and labor would
have added To the other engrossing duties OF
the Convention more vexatious and laborious
one than even those in which they were SO
earnestly engaged during their eighty days
session.
Such labor could not have been performed
satisfactorily, In hasty and superficial
manner, by body composed of three-fourths
delegates from the country, who remltted this
whole subject to the city delegates. And these
were seriously divided In opinion upon the
leading questions which arose In the consld-
erations OF the needed reforms and changes
In our city government.
Had either Of these divisions succeeded In
interpolating into the constitution the provi-
sions necessary to embody their proposed
changes In the city charter, 1t would have ex-
tended that instrument, already double the
length OF any previous constitution, to an In
ordinate volume.
Beside as part Of the constitution, the
Legislature would have been disabled from
making the necessary changes and amend
| ments In the charter which time and expe
| rience may suggest. For these and Other
reasons we conclude that the querulous ant
hypereritical illusions Of the Picagu1,e to the
Indifference and neglect OF the city's
interests by the country delegates are
not justified by the facts. And In alb
staining from any interference with the city
charter the Convention conformed to the pre-
cedents of all previous State Conventions
which contain no provision in regard to thu
city, except a guarantee Of the rights OF TIL
corporation to elect Its own officials and con
duct Its own government It Is for wiser Il
refer this whole subject to the Legislature 10
careful study, investigation and consultation
with those familiar with the history and ex
perienced in the administration OF municipal
corporations.

The New England papers are pitching lnto
the New York police just now for their In
efficiency In tracking up the murderer OF Mrs.
Hull. and the Western journals are rattling
them for their style Of clubbing Innocent
citizens. That these charges are unjust 10
clearly shown by the course pursued by
park policeman the other day In the Cottler
case This policeman saw young LOOKING
couple wandering around Central Pafk III
very lover-ltke style. The couple nnally
wandered over toward q cool, seqnesterea
bench, we'll Swallowed by the overhangfng
boughs of mighty monarch OF the 1orest,
and there seated themselves, the young gen.
tleman with his arms around the iady
waist. Finally, the gentleman bent over his
comrade and imprinted glowing kiss upon
her ruby lips. He thought himself unob-
served In this, but, alas park policeman
had his eagle eyes on him, and the couple
were astounded by a big man In gray uni
form breaking In upon them. Their conduct
was indecorous, he declared, Immoral, horrl-
BILE and against the law. Before the unhappy
| lovers could complain they were marched OIL
to the station, charged with disturbing the
peace. and locked up In the station all night
At an early hour next morning they were
| brought up before the police Judge for trial
The lady was deeply mortified, and seemed
almost to break down at the idea OF appear
ing In q police court along with the drunk
ards, tramps and thieves usually accumulated
there. When placed on the stand she ex.
planned all. She and her companion were
Just married and on their honeymoon. They
had thought themselves out OF sight q
everybody In that shaded glen, and really die
not think 1t wrong to kiss each other. The
fact Of their marriage was clearly proven d
a host of witnesses. The policeman was
Mortified at the discovery and offered profus'
apologies How was he to know that they
were husband and wife. He had been on dut.
in the park for years and had never befor
seen married couple kiss each other.

Lord Lorne began his administration In
Canada with o blunder, and his persistence
In 1t has largely disspated the friendly senti-
mept with which he was received as the SON
in-law Of the Queen. The blunder consisted
In his refusal to dismiss from office Lieut..
Gov, Letellier Of the province OF Quebec,
who attempted to carry things with h1gh
hand, setting at defiance the provincial rep
resentatlve council by dismissing the pro-
vinclal ministry, which had the sympathy
and support Of the representatives OF the
people. In the new election that followed
Letellier was defeated, the opposition secur-
ing a majority OF one In the new council
That small majority was converted to Letel-
lier's interest, 1t Ia charged, by purchase, and
for time he held his own against the popular
will, The case was carried to the Dominion
Parliament, and here the people OF Quebec
won signal victory. Letellier's course was
disapproyed of by vote, and the Dominion
Ministry advised his dismissal. just here
Lord Lorne committed his first great fault in
administration. He refused to dismiss the
obnoxious official, and referred the case to
London. The instructions received In reply
that he should "act upon the advice OF his
ministers as far AS possible showed that the
home government dlsapproved his course,
He fastened to act upon the suggestion, and
appointed q successor to Letellier. But his
1 tardy and reluctant yielding to the advice o
| his advisers and the wishes of the people has
deprived him Of most OF the popularity with
which the early days Of his administration
was received, and which it will take time ant
careful management to regain. Taken alto
gether, Lord Lorne does not seem to be
born ruler Of men.
