The many friends Of the Hon. J. G. EgaI

THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

We desire specially to call the attention OF
the Democratic central clubs In the city and
the parish organizations In the country to the
great importance of selecting the best men to
represent them on tho State Central Commit
tee, which has been called to meet on Monday
next, the twenty seventh instant, at 7 o'clock
.. m, at No. 36 ST. Charles street. 1t is essen
TALLY necessary that the party should have
good and able representatives on the commit
toe upon which devolves SO much OF the re-
sponsibility and labor of the campaign, and
we trust that the voters of the various wards
and parishes realizing the importance at
taching to the election, will work ear
nesty to secure the end desired.
The president of the Baton Rouge Conven-
tion has under instructions from that body
made appointments from the six congression-
al districts, and, we hope, those who may be
elected as members Of this committee will be
unexceptionable The election for delegates
In New Orleans must take place between this
time and Saturday evening next, as the com
mittee Is to meet on the Monday following to
effect Its organization. There Is, therefore,
but little time to lose and the wards cannot
act too promptly In the matter of choosing
their delegates.

BUROH ON KANSAS.

We notice that the great and only Burch-
| j. Henri-has been airing his emigration
theories In the form Of q somewhat hysterical
report to the Republican Convention. Burch
thinks that the Democratic party Is not
worthy of the confidence Of the man and
brother, and undertakes to give fair warning
that things must be changed unless the com
munity wishes to see him pack his saddle
bags and take the middle Of the Jackson Rail-
road track, heading north. We are not in
formed as to what Burch proposes to do with
this fascinating Observation-Disclosures he de-
sires to have it Incorporated In the party
PLATFORM or whether he Is merely
shooting off the chasm which he calls his
mouth. 1t doesn't make much difference,
though. We are not specializing on Burch's
course with any devouring solicitude, and his
plans do not occupy an appreciable space In
our hopes and fears. He Is at liberty to
bundle up his plumber and get into the road
whenever he sees fit, SO far as we are con
cerned. In fact, we are Of opinion that it
would be very good advertisement Of
Louisiana good humor and forbearance II the
people Of the United States were to see that
person like Burch could squat on Louisiana
for eight or ten years and then leave 1t
with a whole skin. It would pay
the State to advance Burch's travelling ex-
penses and to disseminate him throughout
the nation accompanied By an able-bodied
lecturer and carefully -prepared record If
our Northern fellow-citizens can only be made
acquainted with Burch, in his moral, social
and intellectual respects, they will acquire
very profound respect for the long suffering
meekness and self-restraint for the Louisiana
Democracy.
The truth is that this oopper-colored carpet
Dagger is simply venting his rancor toward
the white people of this State without regard

occupies the fine working position OF having
absolutely nothing to lose, and he can there

THE FLORIDA CANAL.

It is very evident that the great project Of
digging canal through the State of Florida
to connect the waters Of the Gulf of Mexico
with those Of the Atlantic ocean, is being
vigorously pushed, and that 1t will not be
many years before the canal will be an ac-
complished fact.
| The public Is assured, upon the authority
of Gen. Lloyd, OF Asptnwall, and of Gov.
| Drew, OF Florida, that the parties who have
taken hold Of this important matter are not
only deeply In earnest, but have ample means
TO prosecute the work to early completion
Most OF the preliminaries nave been arranged,
and only some minor details remain to
be settled before the Governor Of Florida con
venes the Legislature in special session to
grant charter to the corporators of the
proposed canal company. AS the entire work
will be within the limits of the State, there
cannot arise any complications with either the
Federal or foreign governments and the only
difficulty that presents itself is the securing
OF such a charter from the Legislature as
will enable the men who invest their money In
the vast enterprise to reap fair reward.
This difficulty would not be great, as the peo-
pie OF Florida are represented as being almost
unanimous In favor of a canal. were it not for
the fact that there are two parties, one favor
ing barge canal and the other ship canal
To be twenty-five feet Deep The barge peo-
pie, who are represented by ex-Gov Gleason,
of Florida, and who are presumably In the
interest Of the railroads-which naturally an
tagonize ashtp canal, advocate their project
very earnestly, and will no doubt make a
desperate struggle to control or influence the
Legislature in their favor. but the Governor
Is very pronounced In his views on the subject,
Is strongly In favor Of the ship canal, and as all
the arguments sustain that plan, the pre-
sumption Is that it will be adopted by the
Legi stature. The advocates of the barge
scheme propose to make continuous canal
from New Orleans to the Atlantic coast.
which startling, not to say absurd, idea, is
thus explained by ex, Gov. Gleason In an in
terview published in the New York Herald of
the fifteenth instant:

Pittsburgh Commercial Of yesterday.
According TO the agreement between the
iron manufacturers and the puddlers, the
latter yesterday presented the sliding scale
Of wages Of last year for renewal. This
action was determined upon at a meeting
held Saturday a week ago, which was
published the following Monday, andnot,
as an evening paper had 1t, on last satur.
day, The action Of the puddlers in
adopting the sliding scale Of last year Is
simply an expression on their part that
they will not agree 10 any reduction
In wages. Under the existing agreement
the mill owners will have until Saturday
next, the end Of the month, to sign the
same sliding scale again. lit is not signed
by that time, the puddlers will stop work
and a lockout will ensue, which will stop
the mills. While but little appears on the
surface, there is q strong under.current,
indicating that trouble Is ahead. The EN-.
plOyes, so far Us can be ascertained, are dc.
duCtion in wages. On the other hand,
the manufacturers have declared in d
resolution adopted after mature delib-
Grafton that u reduction Is absolutely
necessary, and individually, so far as can
be asCertained, each manufacturer propo.
SEES to carry out the spirit Of the fesolu.
ton. 1t may be taken almost as q certain.
ty that the sliding scale will not be signed.
II it is not signed then the arbitration com.
mittees from the Manufacturers As
ISOLATION and from the Amalgamat-
cd Iron Association will meet and en-
deavor TO effect a compromise. Ifthey
cannot agree a lockout must ensue. The
developments Of the next four days will
be anXiously awaited.
