The convention after It assemblies will
readily perceive how all the expense OF the
State government, interest tax included. may
be promptly met by limiting the rate Of taxa

accepting the bondholder's view, nor yet that
Of the officeholder, and yet 1t is exceedingly
simple 1t consists in paying the one what
the State owes him and no more, and In lop-
ping OF the other. OF course the sufferers
by this process will not approve 1t, but the
great body Of the people will. They have
been victimized as long as they proposeto be-
and as the remedy 10 In their hands they In
tend to apply 1t. 1t Is mistaken notion In
some quarters that the delegates represent
any one else. They represent the body Of the
people. As such representatives they will
afford the needed relief. This will be found
In limitation OF the tax rate for all purposes
to five mills. A sound. healthy and honest

BRUTAL JOURNALISM.

In It's Issue OF Sunday the New Orleans
Times printed a letter, signed Catharine Cole,
which gossips of ladies' and gentlemen with d
familiarity which must be exceedingly Often

tainly 10 disgusting to the decent public at

liar letters for some weeks past, and seems to
be quite proud OF Its indecent little limo
walton In New Orleans urnalism. In
some of Theses letters the names Of
well known citizens have been men
toned In very offensive manner.
But the last one outstripped all the others In
the TRADE Of falsehood and abuse which It
poured out On Mr.. Percy Roberts. We do not
think we have ever seen In public journal
80 gross violation OF truth and deceney. or
course the Times promptly apologized In its
Monday editlon--in other words swallowed
Its own dirt. But nothing can OK Guse the
publication OF such q letter. IL the para
graphs offensive to q gentleman who resented
the outrage appeared without the knowledge
81 the editor, the paper Ia not the less respon-
sible for the outrage upon deceney. The de-
bauchery OF journalism consists In printing for
sensational purposes that class OF letters. In
the particular letter before us wrong was
done Mr.. Roberts, and That Ii matter which
Immediately concerns single citizen; but the
introduction OF such journalism In New Or
leans ID an outrage on the community; II ID
debasing the manners and the tone and
character OF society, and all good men should
resent it.
Certainly, these sort Of publications will
give paper which will print them con

Kansas does not want any negro emigra-
tlon from the South; 30, at least, says Sena-
tor Plumb, Of that State. Plumb has been
interviewed by the New York Herald on the
subject and views the Kansas immigration
movement In far from roseate colors. Kansas
not suitable for negroes, Its climate IL too
cold, It's lands unsuited to them, It's agricul-
tural products not adapted to negro labor.
Indeed, he can see nothing but suffering ahead
FOR those negroes who are now pouring into
bis State. The movement, he also thinks, will
be checked within very short time,
There has been good deal Of negro immi-
grafton Into Kansas, he asserted, since the
war, but most OF those who came into the
State left IL soon afterward The two largest
negro colonies came about year ago from
Kentucky and Tennessee. The one from
Tennessee stopped at Topeka, and was shell
tered and cared for by the people OF that city.
The negroes suffered a great deal, became
discouraged, and finally returned to Ten
nessee. The Kentucky emigrants settled In
Graham county, In the extreme Northern
part of the State. They were very destitute,
and suffered as much as those from Tennes-
see, but being far from any railroad. they
could not get back when they wanted to. and
remain In Kansas to-day, with their condition
but slightly improved. Senator Plumb's sum
ming up was, that Kansas was unsuited for
the negro and that the KaDsans did not want
him. The Indian Territory however, was
he thought, just the place for him. The ell.
mate was mild, and the negro and the Indian
would get along together. Let him 90 to the
Indian Territory.
It may be noticed that neither Window moi
Plumb nor any other of these would be friends
of the negro ID anxious to have him as neigh.
Dor. Window wants him to 60 to Utah

Gen. Walker, superintendent Of the census,
Is anxious that we should initiate the example
OF England In the way Of taking census and

not published until 1868. and the census of
1850 only appeared in 1859. There ID no ex-

Baltimore, Sept. 12-The republican state
convention was held to-day with an unusu.
ally full attendance. Milton q. Urner was
made president of the convention.
The committee on platform made the fol-
lowing report, which was adopted:
1. The republic of the United States is
nation aud not league. The allegiance Of 8
citizen is due primarily to the nation. The
doctrine Of state sovereignty is the baleful
mother Of notification, secession and an
archy. Republicanism stands for national
supremacy in national affairs and state rights
in state concerns. Democracy stands for
states sovereignty with all its old time here
~, that the union is mere confederacy Of
states.
2. We arraign the democratic reprcsen-
tatives in congress as guilty both OF revolu-
tionary attempts and nullifying schemes and
reprobate their action as calculated TO sub
vert the constitution and strike at the exis-
tence Of the government itself.
8. The safety of the republic demands
free and pure elections, but the democratic
party 10 this state and throughout the coun.
| iry has persistently and systematically
eonght to overthrow all safeguards Of free
suffrage for years past. In this state the
democratic rutfians and repeaters have by
