NEW ENGLAND and the Northern
States have been given the purchase of
all the government bonds and premium
thereon, and now John Sherman sends
the manufacturing of all the government
bank Lote and bond paper there too.
And accordingly several government Off
cials have been at Glen Mills, Chester
Co., Pa, for several days removing the
property, consisting Of registers, safes,
desks, tables, clocks, belonging to the
Treasury department. They are shipped
partly to Dalton, Mass, where the Gov
ernment Bank Note is being made by
Crane & Co., and part of it to Washing

GONE ToWoRK. The city Democrats
have gone TO work. The organization
was completed OH Saturday night by the
election of officers of which Esquire
William ii. Brady, was chosen
President. Now let each Ward do its
duty in nominating the best and most
competent men and their election will
no doubt be secured. The present
Democ ratio Council has opened the
way for more economical administra-

ions uttered by himself upon the income
tax law. 1t was very unpopular with
the people while enforced under the Re-
publican administrations of lincoln and
Grant. But . New York paper the other
day said that Mr.. Ewing was In favor OF
the re-enactment of All income tax law
and insisted that this was so odio'ls with
the people of Ohio that 1t would damage
his prospects there very considerably.
The New York Herald which had pre-
viously been very sarcastic in its refer
ences to Mr.. Ewing, at once came To his
rescue on the income tax law. Whether
it intended TO- injure MFR. Ewing's pros
poets by so doing or not We do not know
but IL Is so curious to see this papers
sudden change to Ewing from Foster

remarks below, having given an article
from IL on the same theme the other
day. The Herald Of yesterday has the
following: .4 t...t,.t .,arft.4m is.'

CHESTER like all other cities feels the
burden of taxation. Its water works are
not as economically conducted as they
should be, and it refers to our city works
as follows:
"The Wilmington Water Works last
year cost to run them $.2,0oo, and the
revenue was $57,0OO-a clear profit OF
$4,000. We wish Chester would make
such a good showing. When is our re
port to be published, so that we can tell
how much il has cost to run our water
works ?"
1t is pity that Wilmington has no
city gas works so that it could rea'iz'
other $4,000 profit and dispose of ga
at less than 81 per thousand beside.

for the year ending July !, 1879. These |
reports are no, confined TO the crmi al
records, but every instance OF a death by
violence has been reported together with
summary of the evidence, showing the
circumstances. The district Is in what
| is called the "black belt" of Alabama

of 1870, was, white, 32,350; colored,

twelve months above mentioned the to-
tai number of homicides was nine. OF
these there were two white and seven
colnred. The number Of whites killed
by whites was two. The number OF blacks
killed by whites was one. The number
of blacks killed by blacks was six. The
causes of the killings aere as follows:
Personal msur,ers andings and diff
cuI,ies and in the heat of b'ood-Two
whites by whites, one negro by white
and one negro by negro.
jealousy negroes by negroes.
In the case Of the negro killed by q
white man the evidence Oh the investi-
oaiion showed that the killing arose from
a personal difficulty and in the heat o
t blood and that the white man was one
, armed. The Grand Jury investigatin!

THE NEW ORLEANS MER-
CHANTS.
lMarksville Bulletin,


The canvass Ia New Orleans has assumed a
complexion and malignty that calls for de-
cided halt. II the purpose OF those engaged
have adopted the most effectual means to ac-
compiish it. In no other sense is the whole
sale and scandaIous abuse and vfffficatifDn Of
Mr. Witt and his candidacy to be construed.
Upon what meat the New Orleans mer-
chants and their organs feed that they pre-
sumo to classify Mr. Witt and his supporters
as a lot OF bummeTs and MeTcenarie6, we know
not. We beg these gentlemen to believe that
there is something quite as respectable TO be
found outside the purieus Of Magazine or
Carondelet street as was over found in them,
as overwhelmingly respectable rs those thor
OughfareS may be.
I1 requires no stretch OF the imagination to
see what oil this wholesale abuse and yillifi-
cation will lead to. THERE'S not decent man
In the State to-day who will not resent 1t as
an outrage upon decency. Before the canvass
ia done the authors and abettOrs Of it will
be made to feel that there Is a public opinion
In this State that does not tolerate such
things.
We are glad to see that the supporters OF
Mr.. Wilt have not patterned after Caronde-
let street, but always in their public and other
tuterances refer to Gen. Ogden with the re-
In this respect the difference between tho
merchant prince and his drayInan is In suffl-
cient contrast to be marked. In all conscience
we are bound to say the advantage Is On the
side OF the drayman.
There seems to be fatality that attends
the political movements OF commercial peo-
pie. They never fail TO put 10 q corporate
appearance at every election. and they never
. fail to get Just as regularly whipped, % mat

Arsument In tn. Cappero case.

New York, Sept. 29.-Argument to compel
the Calvary Cemetery authorities TO inter the
body OF Dennis Cappero, which they refuse /
to do on the ground OF his being q Free Ma
son, was continued to-day In the Supreme
Court before Judge Westbrook. Counsel for
the cemetery trustees argued that the cenne-
terry was for the burial OF Catholics alone !;
that it was not shown that Cappero attended
any Catholic church, and that Protestant
rites were read over him. That the receipt OF
the purchase money OF the plot was not in
the nature of deed or conveyance, as re-
quired by law, and gave no right to land, and
that the heirs or devlsees, and not the execu.
tors, were the parties to come into court and
claim DuriaIfor the body. Counsel for the rela-
tives OF decedent in reply argued that the
next OF kin, in the absence OF an express testa-
mentary provision to the contrary, we're the
proper parties to begin and sustain such ac-
tion, and that Vicar General Quinn's opinion
In regard to excluding Free Masons from bu-
rial in consecrat ed ground was far from being
well founded, as reference to the DEGREES and
laws OF the Second Plenary Counsel OF Balti-
more would show. Judge Westbrook reserved
his decision.

WHY THEY WANT wILTz.
caldwell Herala.1

That Lieut. Gov. Witt Is well qualified to
fill the gubernatorial chair no man can denv.
He has splendid administrative taleuts and is
d eonsnuIaate organizer; Is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the public uffairs OF the State
and in every Way we'll qualified to inaugur-
ate the return OF THAT prosperity for which
the heart OF every Louisian.an has 50 long
yearned, and bring about the dawn oil that
happy day to whose advent the eyes of Lou
isiana's SONS and daughters have so long and
So earnestly been turned. Louis A. Wlltz is u
young man in the early prime OF life, full OF
energy, life and vigor, and is perhaps, better
aeauainted with public affairs, both State and
nationaI, than any other man ia Louisiana.
III one respect he resemble that grand old
apostle Of Democracy, Andrew Iackson-he
never forgets q friend. H.. A. Witt is O man
of the people, accessible ut all tiDes to all
classes, and treating with equal poiteness
the man In the check SHIFT with horny hand
and sun-burned brow, and the wealthy and
high bred OF polite society. Mr.. Wiltz has
we'll deserved honor at the hands OF his party.
He has ever been 81 true and consistent worker
in the Democratic ranks, and has contributed
largely to the grand success that has at
length been fully achieved. His eminent
ability In the management OF men, and the
prompt and correct dispatch OF business, was
fully evinced in the mastarly manner In
which he conducted the deliberations Of the
Constitutional Convention, the success OF
whose iaburs is largely attributable to his
judgment In appointing committees and his
tact i'll preserving gOou feeling between the
delegatss. He was Speaker OF the House OF
Representatives when De Trobrland invaded
il with Federal bayonets, and showed then,
rs he has at all tiIues since, that he knew how
to contend for tho rights OF his beloved peo-
pie and State. 10 snort, Louisiana has no
trner son than Louis a. WiitZ, and but few
who would prove his equal In the executive
Gnair. Should he be the next Governor, as we
have no doubt hs will, ws hope to ses the
State rehabilitated, and an era OF prosperity

Why THEY DO NOT WANT Oa
DEN.
Baton Rouge Capifolian.,

We believe that O constitution which Is to
become the fundamental law OF u State ought
to be administered at least for few years by
u Governor who is in accord with the spirit
that framed it,
Every one knows that In the communica-
tion sent by Gen Ogden to the convention he
took the strongest grounds against any step
that locked to q scaling. or what he termed
repudiation, Of the State debt.
On the question OF suffrage his position was
diametrcalIy opposed to the clause contained
Ia the new constitution, which provides Tor
den favored q poll tax OF at least tmo dollars
and fifth cents, or ten dollars for the privilege
OF voting ut the general elections occurring
every four years.
As d mernber of the Convention we voted
for every clause giving protection to the tax
payer against the abuse Of unscrupulous
legislators, by limiting and d-tining their
firm, too, to maintain the right OF the poor
devil to cast his ballot for the men who are TO
govern him without exaetiDg a Zee from him.
Il it Is held that In time OF war he owes his
blood to the defense Of the State 1t is but Just
that b. should have voice In governing 1t III
time OF peace. That's the way we understand
true Democracy, :, e., protection 70 one class
agansst The possible encr0aCigRent Of another,
but equality ut the ballot box.
We differed with him on the debt question,
and voted for Capt. Kidds majority report,
though we afterward acq1ie5ced In the pres
ent debt ordinance, for Ine purpose OF har-
monizing the various differences existing
among the Democrats In the Convention.
For these reasons do we feel Justified la op-
and believe that his friends have COM mitted
a blunder In their anxiety to reward him for
the gallant conduct he dislayed on the Four
teensh OF September.

Excitement Among Jersey CITY Catholics

NEW YORK, Sept. 29-There is considera-
BILE excitement among Roman Catholic resi-
dents of Jersey City on account OF the action
of Rev. Father Hennessy, of st. Patrick g
Cathedral, In closing the doors to a funeral
party because they violated the order OF the
Bishop prohibiting the use OF more than
twelve carriages. Yesterday the body ef
Bridget O'Rourke was brought to the Cathe-
dral with a following Of forty. carriages.
Father Hennessy peremptoriiy rea1sed to ad-
nit 1t, saying he must obey the Bishop >
orders, whether other priests did or not. A
promise was effected by sending away
thirty carriages; but after the ceremonies In
the church the carriages reioined the process
sion, Father Hennessy, from the pulpit last
pretentious funerals are for show only. Tn
most cases the long line Of carriages are not
paid for, and even when they are paid for,
the expense often takes bread and butter ont
