rus BATON ROUGE CONVENTION.

xr,as called to order at 1880 p. NJ. Mon T.
aav. by Hon. Albert voorhees,, presi- o.
1ant Of the State Central Committee.
Hon. Louis Texada, of RaPtdes, was q
chosen temporary chairman. A COM =
mittee of nine on credentials was APP
nointed and after various recesses and t
inexcusaLle confusion and tumult, an I
organization was effected on Tuesday,
and Louis A. Wiltz and F. N. Ogden
mt In nomination for Governor. The ,
Arst ballot resulted In favor Of Whtz
bv vote of go to 174. An adjourn
ment followed until Wednesday morn
ing. 8. D. McEnery, Of Oaachita, anu
Louis Texada, of Rapides, were placed
before the Convention for Lieut.. Gov (,
ernor. 8. d. McEnery was successiui
on the second ballot, but no figures
have been received up to the hour OF
putting our forms to press. The re-
mainfler OF the ticket is as follows.
For Attorney General-J. G. Egan,
of Claiborne.
For Auditor-Allen Jumel, oil loer-
Vile.
For Secretary of state-W. A.Strong'
of VIM.
For superintendcnt of Public Educa-
tion-E. III. Fay, of East Feliclana.
The contestants for the above posi-
tions are not known at this writing,
and no figures can be given. The con-
test in New Orleans has been exceed.
iuRly bitter between the Ogden ana
wiltz factions, but tho eloquent
speeches that succeeded the nomina
tions by Gov. Wiltz and Gen. Ogden
nv United States Senator Jonas, Con
eressmen Ellis and Gibson, and tn
good feeling and party devotion mann
tested. we presume buried all tn
hatchets, cicatrized all the wounds an
toned down asperities, so that VIC sha
see nothing in future but duty we
performed and general hand-shakin
all around. It will be relief if tn
people shall find that there will be n
more political nanipulatiOns for tt
next four years. Tho country neet
rest. and the Democratic party neet
cement. It may be In the power
Governor Wiltz to close the breach
It will require no power to widen
Revenge is sweet: 1t is not an ingred
emit of patriotism and is exceedingly
dangerous weapon. Justice and rig
will be in his hands and as he DEF
them out so the people will judge Al
estimate him.
The ticket as whole should be
ceptable to all the various sections a
interests of the State, as nearly eve
important geographical and polite
subdivision is represented by some Q
candidate. New Orleans gets the &C
ernor, the Ouachita country the Lie
Governor, Red river the Secretary
State, the Hill parishes the Attorn
General, the Florida parishes the
perintendent of Public Education, a
the Coast parishes the Auditor.
There will not be, we think, any
rious opposition to the ticket-only
sporadic ticket, if there be one at
Judge Taylor Beattie may turn out
candidate for Governor, as he
expressed his Willingness to run on
Republican ticket for that position,
he will turn out badly beaten.

Little Delaware is making great pre-
pa-ations to start the Bayard boom,
and viii give its favorite Senator and
candidate for. the Presidency, who is
expected to, reach home tomorrow
from Europe, q grand reception. At
Wilmington Republicans vie with DEM
ocrats in preparing a.hearty ovation to
their distinguished towsman. People
from adjacent parts will join in the GER
emonies, which will consist of a pro-
cession and address, and a reception at
the opera house, and an illumination at
night.

The Enterprise says that it is,the in
tcntion OF San Francisco merchants to
make the case of Nathan, a, drummer
arrested in Virginia City, test case,
and therefore, when the bail. was fixed
at $500, it was not given. He was
allowed to go to the County Jail, and
as soon as he had been placed therein,
and the key was turned on him, he was
taken out on writ of habeas. corpus.
AS license costs S26 per month in each
county in the State-btween 81. 600 and
So, 900 per year in all the counties the
drummers, and the houses they repre-
sent, think it is something worth. max
ing fight about; besides, they say they
have town license to pay in all ineorr
porated places.

STATE TAXES.

The returns made by the Assessors of
the fou teen counties of the State tothe
Controller indicate that the State tax
on real and personal property for the
year 1879 will not exceed $l54, 432.
This is q falling off Of nearly 500, 900
since 1878, when the State tax. amounts
ed to 1852, 400. The cause of this dis
crepancy is the reduction of the State
tax from 80 to So, cents. Under these
circumstances it is fortunate that there
will be no. session of the Legislature the
coming winter. 1t would be still better
for the tax payers of the State If that
body did not convene but. once in four
or six years. The expenses Of a session
OF the Legislature, including the print
ing OF the statutes. and journals, aver
ages over 100000. The tax payers.
receive no adequate returns for this out
lay. The State wonld not suffer if the
Legislature did not meet but once in
six years. The population of the whole
State does not exceed $4,000 people,
and it looks ridiculous, that over. $780,
600 have to be expended every two
years in making laws for the govern
ment of such a. small community. The
Constitution ought to be amended so
that quadrennial instead OF biennial
sessions should be held, as a few thou
sand tax payers ought not. to. be com
PEELED to support. such useless extrava-
gance, Unless great economy is prac-
ticed in the affairs of government, the
State taxes will have to- be again in
creased by the next Legislature, or the
State will have to. borrow money; and
one of the bes. ways to curtail expenses
is to limit the. sessions of the Legisla-
ture to thirty days, with. sessions every
four years. 1t may be argued against
this proposition that it is necessary to
bold biennial sessions. OF the Legisla-
ture to elect United States. Senator's,
but that can be remedied by the Gov
ernor, who can appoint men to fill va
cancies until the Legislature convenes,
or by selling the Office to the highest
bidder and applying the proceeds OF the
sale to defraying, the, expenses of the
Sta e. Only millionaires can be elected
to the United States Senate, in. Nevada
under the present. system, and, as Cali
fornians like Sharon are eligible to the
office, few hundred Thousand dollars
might be realized from. the sale. This
would be far more beneficial to the
State than the SYSTEM now in. vogue,
which only benefits individual men,
bers of the Legislature, and as the sale
should be made at public auction to the
highest bidder for cash, it would d &,
pense with bribery and corruption at
elections and in the Legislature.

TELEGRAPmC ITEMs-

Of the New York eleeSon the Her
aid says: At Republican headquarters
the greatest confidence was expressed
that the entire Republican ticket had
been elected, even Soule, candidate for
State Engineer and Surveyor. The
Suns returns give Potter (Dem.l a.ma-
jority Of about 1000; Horatio Sey-

MR.. EDITOR Last Saturday found us
vending our way to Asbury Church to at
tend quarterly conference at that place.
These quarterly meetings are one of the
chief pleasures of Methodism We arrived
there just as the services were being opened
The II o'clock sermon was preached by
Rev. s. B. Jones, d. D., who il considered
one of the towers of strength in the Meth
odist Church. His address was directed
chiefly to the members of the church, tell
ing them their duty to their church and to
their God. We wish every Methodist in
the land could have heard it. We trust
those who heard it were instructed and
benefited thereby. The conference was
unusually interesting. as there was business
Of importance transacted. Delegates were
elected to attend district conference, which
will meet in Grcenvile On Sunday DR..
Jones text was Luke "a 5l-52. His sub
jec the crucifixion, resurrection and as
cci- .on of Christ-was delivered in an clo-
quent manner. His description of the
crucitixion was solemn and impressive
willie his description of the ascension was
grand and sublime beyond description.
While listening to him you could, in your
imagination, see Christ slowly ascending
from earth to heaven, looking down, talk
ing to, and blessing His disciples, until He
almost reached the port ais of heaven. You
could see too, after He had entered the
celestial city, and hear shouts and praises
of thousands rs they welcomed Him hcme.
We left Asbury with feelings of devotion,
resolving that we as n church member
would try to discharge our duty more faith
fu lily, and to live nearer Christ than ever
before. METHODIST.
