A DELICATE POINT sETTLEg.'

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY The New Orleans
Times. the organ of the Gen. Nichols Demee-
rasy Ia Louisiana. is outspoken II Y, opposition
TO the nomination oil either Mr.. Tilden or ex-
Gov Hendricks for the next Presidency. Mr.
Bayard. however. tho Times intimates, would
bs acceptable at any rate. IL says he comes
nearer the mark TRAN any other public man
that h1s yet been mentioned.
The above, from the Baltimore Sun, con-
clusiyely disposes Of q question that has been
disturbing this community for some time
past, and which has even been a matter OF
dispute In the Senate Of the United States, to
wit: the political status Of the New Orleans
Times. We now know exactly where our
CONSOLIDATED" contemporary stands.
Some time since, ID response to direct in
terrogatories proppunded by Exodus Win
dom, Senator Jonas and "Brindle Bin" Kel-
logg undertook to define the exact status Of
the Times. They differed essentially in re-
gard to the matter. Mr.. Jonas emphatically
asserted that the Times was not a Democratic
paper; that It was owned and edited by Re-
publcans, and that 1t did not represent public
opinion in Louisiana. Kellogg, on the other
hand, declared that it had the largest circu-
lation In the Southwest; that 1t stood In the
front rank Of Democratic journals, and that
the fact that Clinton, his ex-Auditor, owned
and directed It proved that he-Kellogg was
becoming very popular and much beloved
individual in the State.
The consolation ]" unanimously adopted
Kellogg's version, Especially that portion
which related to the largest circulation in
the Southwest, and, without any expostula-
tions In regard to the inference Kellogg drew
from Clinton's proprietary interest of his own
growing popularity, lit went for Mr.. Jonas
with beautiful enthusiasm. OF course the
paper which is owned and directed by Clin-
ton, and which stands as q living testimony
to the love and veneration for Kellogg that is
gradually overcoming the good people Of
Louisiana, is bound toIbe Democratic organ
OF some kind, and whatever it says In be-
half Of Louisiana Democracy Is necessarily
authoritative.
But, unhappily, Louisiana Democracy is
not as harmonious as it was and will be in
1880. Tt is thing Of many and varied
shades, compilations and temperatures. We

TEE WEST FELIOlANA DEMOCRACY.

We published yesterday q special telegram
from our correspondent, Vidette, at Bayou
Sara, concerning the proceedings OF the par
ish convention of the Democrat in West Fe-
liciana.
All true Democrats OF the State will be glad
to learn that the factions into which the party
in West Felciana has lately been divided have
disappeared, that the political differences ex-
listing in that parish have been harmoniously
settled, and that the party promises to pre-
serve the excellent organization and show the
solid front in 1880, which were conspicuously
manifested in the campaign of 1876, when
West Felicana and the other Florida parishes
contributed greatly to gaining the signal vic
tory Of the party that year.
The election Of Mr.. j. F. Irvine to the chair
manship of the Democratic Parish Commit
tee was step which we think will meet with
commentator. Mr.. Irvine, beside being one
OF the most enterrrising and liberal-minded
members OF the mercantile community of the
State, is public spirited citizen, possessing
a high order Of political ability, and will
prove most competent campaign manager.
Our correspondent informed us that the
convention passed resolutions expressive Of
the people Of the parish being opposed to re-
pudiation, Ii favor OF a reduction in taxation
and OF retrenchment In the expenses of the
State government.
The Democracy Of West Felieiana appears
to have placed itself on record with reference
to the vital questions Of the day, and stands
squarely upon the platform Of 1876 and 1878.
We feel that it's voice will be heard as its
votes are appreciated.

These are words. which should be takento
heart by the delegates In the Constitutional
Convention now engaged In framing an
organic law, that touches In Its bearings oil
those questions involved ii the social COM
pact which bind together the dead, the liv-
Ing and generations to come In Q common
history.
The most painful Impressions created dur
the session or the Convention, have been pro-
duced by the yascillattpn and moral weakness
displayed by delegates whose names have
stood high In the htstoryof our State for
learning, courage andl patriotism; men who
In many public contests in the past, both
State and paToctiaf, PLANNED afaa led their
people to political Victories, but who now
shrink into silence, or whisper their opinions
with bated breath and ifurtive glance OF the
eye. II
We have often heard and read Of the cour-
age born of mans convictions and we have
been taught to honor and respect all able
exhibitions OF 1t, even though we should dis
agree with the opinions Expressed, but there
liz kind of courage 10 which we are strang-
ers, and the exhibition but fills the beholder
with shame and modification that his race
and hls State should witness the display.
We refer to that holiness which sustains
men In supporting by their votes and In their
speeches, doctrines and measures to which
they express themselves In their private and
personal relations with dlen, as bitterly op.
posed.
1t ID to us incomprenensible that men
should declare their belief that the peace
Of the State, and its honor and welfare
demand settlement OF the question
pending between the State and her creditors
klpon certain basis, and when the time ar
lGlves to give expression to their convictions
they pause, and as Il overcome by some
motal dread, east their votes for the defeat Of
that which they are known to regard as just
and within the ability Of the people.
Those delegates whose minds have beer
clouded with misgivings upon the great ques
lions before the Convention, should arouse
themselves to the necessity Of asserting theil
individuality, and acting upon their ownbes1
