AS the fact of the adoption of the

AS the fact of the adoption of the
new constitution becomes each day
more certain, a matter Of almost as
great moment agitates the public
mind. We refer to the omission
in this document Of the manner by
which Police Juries are to be chos-
en-. Why our representatives fall
cd to make provision in the organ
jc law for electing this most impor-
tans executive body has been to US
a matter of great wonder. Was
.he omission accidental, CIR did the
Convention wish to invest the Gov
ern or with a.fa thcrIy duty and endow
him with the prorogative Of choos-
Tag for the people of each individ"
val Parish a Board of Commission
ers to direct its local affairs? We
are forced to believe that the omis
sion vas accidental, especially
when we consider that the object of
the people in calling a convention
was, principally, to remove from the
Chief Executive a powerful ap-
pointive privilege.
On the adoption of the new Con-
stitution this question, of necessity,
will come before the General AS
sembly, but in leaving this all-im
portant matter to the Legislature
gives rise to the thought as to
whether it will see proper to leave
to the people of the several Par
ishes the privilege of eIecting men
as Police Jurors no arc familiar
with the wants, &c, Of the differ
ent wards, or in confdiug way,
give to the Governor and tue Sem
ate the power to appoint.
From our roint of view-from
Democratic stand -poiut-there is
but one way in which to settle this
matter. Our legislators, bearing
in mind that the government is
made for the people and by the
people, will perform but a simple
duty in returning to their consiit-
uents the right 10 che ose their own
officers for this branch OF govern
meDt.
We would very much like to
lay before our readers the views Of
others on this all important matter
A few explanatory words from our
candidate for Senator and ex- dele
gate to the Convention would be in
order as it may be in his power to
explain the non-action of the body
in which he represented us, on this
point.

|A special from Washington says ::
President Hay es is exerting his official in
fluence to have "a corps of prominent Re
publican speakers from the North go
down to Louisiana to take part in the
canvass. He says piously that he thinks
they could go safely into every district
of the State; that the bu!ldozcrs would
not venture to interfere with them, and
that they would have y great influence in
arousing the colored people from their
apathy and inducing them to vote the
Republican ticket. Efforts have been
made to induce Gen. Garfield, Secretary
Sherman, Blaine and other stars to 90
down and stump the State. If Blaine
goes it will be to try and capture the Re-
publican vote in the next Republican
convention. 1t is said that twelve or fif-
teen Republican speakers will 60 down
to Louisiana. There is the best reason
to believe that every effort Will be put
forth from this quarter to carry the State
for the Republicans. The Democrats may
as well be prepared for desperate strug-
gle with the Williams who have had their
feet on their necI1s for so long q time
Kellogg goes home shortly by way Of
New York, and will be in New Orleans
next week. He is reticcnt as to what is
going on in reference to Louisiana, but
this very silence IS significant. It is be-
lieved that his visit to New York is to
raise funds for this campaign. He will
get plenty OF money for this purpose.

THE MODERN DROMI0S.
The Mistakes Which a Similarity in
Names Occasions.
New York Tribune.


There are two men in Washington
who for years have been like two bro
MOS, crossing each other and colliding
in business and personal matters, to
their mutual inconvenience. Their
names are respectively William Bowen
Moore and William Bennett Moore.
The former comes from Urbana, Cham
paign county, Ill, and the latter from
Urbana, Champaign county, Ohio.
Several years ago both these gentlemen
became prominent officials in the Treas
ury Department, and then their mutual
troubles began. The one was Chief of
the Supervising Special Agents, and the
other Deputy Fourth Auditor. Mail
matter seemed always to reach the
wrong Moore first, and official and
family secrets became common prop
erty. When Special Agent Moore left
the department, two or three years ago,
he felictated himself that in the long
run he was one point ahead of his
namesake. The son Of the latter had
sent from Norfolk to his father barrel
of exceptionally fine oysters, which fell
into the clutches of the wrong Moore,
and before the error was discovered
they had been devoured. The troubles
continue.
Recently Deputy Auditor Moore re-
ccived letter from Il person il ONO,
who is said to be the private secretary
Of Gen. Ewing, requesting, in familiar
terms, some information, which the
writer asserted, would damage the po-
litical prospects of General sherman.
Deputy Auditor Moore is not in that
business, md caused the letter to be
forwarded to the ex-Special Agent. BY
some means ITS contents became known
to an enterprislng western correspond
ont, and were Published in Ohio, much
TO the chagrin of both he writer and
the person to whom il was addressed.
TX Special Agent Moore now threatens
dire vengeance against the Deputy Au-
dtor Moore for the betrayal OF his Sc
clets, and is said TO have taken legal
steps to secure his punishment. The
Deputy Auditor, a man Of nnimpeach-
able veracity, declares that he has no
knowledge Of the manner in which the
contents of the letter came to light, and
the correspondent who Published the
letter asserts that he never knew the
Deputy Auditor in connection with the
matter
