LONDON, May 14.-The statements of the
Standards correspondent at Lahore on two com
sIicuous occasions, when he reporfed an ad.
vance OF the British troops on Cabul, and when
ne announced the terms of a settlement with
lakoo6 Khan, proved to have been utterly un-
1ounoed. Not much Importance, therefore
should be attached to his report that fresh dif

We quote the following very peril
nent paragraph from the New Orleans
Democrat:
''Thr habit many parties Interested in

and every public official who ventures to
tltf.r with them as to the S:,nctity of the
stat" debt, or the proprirty of expressing

validity has reached a point at which it
must and will u" resented. According tt,

shame and poverty of Louisiana, have
AS little care for the real interests of the
State as Il Sruega,ub:an.'
There is more truth than poetry
| contained in the above remarks. In
asmuch as the whole drift of the cry
for reform is based solely on the re-
duction OF the salaries of public Off
calS and the adjustment of useless
offices, we deem it proper to add,
ClslC LlleSe ucSlf1Dle measures, winch
we endorse, are not sufficient to re-
lieve the tax-paying public. 1t ought
to be we'll known that 81 mills are
paid to the State yearly for interest on
bonds, bearing screen per cent. interest.
These bonds can now be bought for
about fifty cents OH the dollar There
fore, we deem it to be 'prctty steep"
that the people should be made to
pay bond holders and spectators
fourteen per cent, especially when
these bonds are, in large proportion,
the result Of the swindling operations
of the Radical regime, aided by some
good men of our side, who did not
hesitate to enter in these little schemes
with the corrupt legislators.
We say cut down salaries to ante
beAum standard do away with super
t1uous offices throw out the fiuudu-
lent bonds reduce the interest on the
bona tide debt to a nominal rate, and
do away with the 81 mill taxi!

SENATOR JONAS.
(CincinnOti IsrQelite.)

He stands to-day the foremost Jew
in the country, and his co.religionists
can feel assured that not only will no
stain ever attach to him, but that
wherever are found purity of official
life, sterling integrity and spotless
private character, there will also he
found the name of Hon. Il. F. Jonas,
of Louisiana.
AS a matter of interest to the ladies
we might add that what Mr.. Jonas
will be in the council of the nation,
his beautiful wife will he in it's social
circles. Endowed by nature with a
superior intellect, she is as charming
in manner as she is lovely in form
and feature.
We congratulate the Jewish people
on the good fortune of having two
such worthy representatives at the
seat Of government.

SENATOR KELLOGG CHARGED
WITH PERJURY.

1t is more than likely that Senator
Kellogg, of Louisiana, may have a
disagreeable experience before many
days. 1t is distinctly charged here
that Kellogg committed wilful per-
jury when before the Potter Com
mittee last summer, in the matter of
the Richland protest. Evidence of
this in his own hand writing exists, it
is said, in the hands of Louisiana
politician now here, who is no friend
of Kellogg. The intention is said to
be not only to bring the subject to the
attention of the Senate during the
present session, but to procure Kel-
1ogg's criminal indictment in this dis
trict.-N. Y. San.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE PARISH
OF EAST BATON ROUGE.

Rooms OF AT1c-CoNsERvA11vE
PARISH CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
Baton Rouge, Feb. "a, 1879.
On the 18th day of March next, YOU
will be called ON to select represent
atives to the Constitutional Conven-
ton, which meets in New Orleans on
the 21st of April, 1879.
A new constitution is to be framed
for the future government of our State
| and the veal or woe of our citizens
depends entirely upon the honesty,
ability and capacity of those entrusted
with the making of the organic law of
| this Commonwealth.
In the selection of representatives
! to be clothed with this great response
bility, it becomes the duty of every
good citizen to aid and assist, in every
possible and legitimate way, the efforts
Of those whose only object is to benefit
the whole people.
In view of the delicate and embar-
RAISING circumstances attending the
proper selection of men to represent
this parish in the Constitutional Con-
ventiOn, the Democratic Conservative
Parish Central Executive Committee
assembled on Saturday, the 22d inst,
and, after mature deliberation, de-
clined to make nominations by Parish
Convention, deeming it wise, just and
proper simply to suggest or recommend
for your suffrage three worthy gentle
men, whom we all know and esteem,
leaving it to the good judgment of the
people to reject OF elect them.
The Committee made no nominations
but hare earnestly recommended the
following names as most suitable at
this time:
Senatorial candidate-Col. ANDREW
S. HEBRON.
Representatives. LEON JAS
TREMsKI and ROBERT r. You've.
In behalf of the Central Committee
now offer these true and faithful men
to you, hopefill-yes, confident, that
they will receive your support. Party
should be lost sight of in the desire for
good to our entire parish and State the
slogan of factions should be replaced
by the watchword Aunity," and for
once our people should rally under
one banner.
Let us all do our duty

HOW WE STAND,

The So"fher" (Miss.) States, in it's
very complimentary notice of the ad-
vent of the CApIToL1AN in the jour
llalistic arena, says
''Mr. Jastremski yields a virile pen,
and his selections arc capital. We with
hold our endorsement from his posi- ton
i'll regard to universal suffrage, but in
all other respects, he is a heart-of-hick-
Dry Dem"rrat. and deserves the support
OF the Pelican people,"
In another column of that paper We
find the following plank in the politi-
cal platform Of the States:
awe believe that the NIVth and XVIII
Amendments arc unconstitutional, and
should be repealed, aud repealed forth
with.''
In reply to the above sentiments,
we desire to state, that while we were
not yet IL voter, our ticket in 1860
was that of Breckenridge and Lane,
and we were ''fOr secession" We
took up the lnnsket in defence of that
cause, and fought il out OH that line
till the war ended. In keeping with
the traditions of our youth, we went
back to our first love, and voted as
we fought. However, through the
force of circumstances, reluctantly at
first, We accepted in good faith the
political changcs--thc inevitable
brought about by the war. The DEM
ocratic party, which is ours, recog-
nized the rights OF citizenship of the
enfranchised slaves of the South in
several platforms. AS we don't be-
lieve in fighting over and over again
through the ''dark and bloody
ground" we are for the maintenance
of these vested rights, and will ever
stand for the principle Of universal
suffrage. Now, especially, that we
are rid of carpetbag rule, we find
our colored citizens improving daily
and identifying themselves with the
interests of the country, and living in
peace and friendship with the white
population. In view of these unde-
niable facts, we are for giving them a
chance in the race of life, and for
lending them a hand in elevating
and educating them as freemen.
Such is our Interpretation of Demo-
cratic principles platform.

HOW He FOUGHT 1oBLY And
BLEED (?) Oh BOTH SIDES.

THE On1rcrIONp TO Mr.. GREvEo.-He
was the peoples attorney in thsfr fight
against the proposed Judgements tax
AdcO0ate.
Under this head, our neighbor across
the way, in his enthusiastic support of
the gentleman in whose favor he says
60 many pretty things, deifies him in
the sun-burst of his admiration, by
causing him to appear as the unselfish
defender of the peoples interests in
the matter Of the judgment tax.
In this connection, we remember
very distinctly to have paid Mr..
Greves, when he passed the list around,
our pro rata of the assessment required
to pay fees and other costs of the suit.
We have it for certain also, that
later on, Mr.. Greves, q professional
man, consented to be the attorney of
Mr.. John O'Connor, a claimant for a
judgment against the parish, for tic
sum. of $2427, with interest, for which
a decision was rendered by Judge
McVea for &245.45, on April 9th,
1873, in favor of John O'COnnor, q
former tax resister. Appeal has been
taken for client by his attorney, Mr..
Greves.
We do not intend to cast any reflec-
ton upon the attorney, who merely
did service ON both sides ut different
times, employed as he was by them !;
but we do object to have the advocate
present his name to the consideration
of the public upon grounds that are
not sustained by facts. Let him he
made patriot on some other issue.
