The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-01-22

The Alabama Legislature is discussing the
question whether it would not be well to have
the presidential electors elected by the Legis-
lature, as was done in South Carolina pre-
vious to the war, and in Colorado in 1876, in
stead OF by the popular vote. 1t claimed, in
behalf OF this measure, that 1t will prevent
any false counting or returning board bust
ness, and prevent also the possibility of any
interference in State elections by the Federal
government. The question has reached
Washington and is being discussed there
The New York Herdlfs correspondent de-
clares that very large number of Democrats
were disposed, on first blush, to favor this
change, but, upon q further consideration Of
the matter, had come to the conclusion that
1t was unnecessary, unwise and dangerous
just now. 1t would be an invitation to the
Federal government to interfere in the cleo
tions for members of the Legislature. Them
too, the Legislature, as In New York and
New Jersey, might be of different political
party from the ma jority Of the voters OF the
State. The Democrats, moreover, expect to
secure the Presidency In 1880, when they will
have no reason to fear anything from Federal
interference In State elections. Should the Re
publicans secure the next Presidency, this
South Carolina system Of the Legislature
be adopted in those Democratic States where
the Federal government interferes, but until
that unlikely event occurs, 1t is probable that
all the States will go on voting for President
as they do at present.

A CORRESPONDENTS MISTAKES.

In the New Orleans Times OF yesterday
Tuesday, under the head Of Public Schools. >
In special correspondence from Plaque
mines, dated January Is, there appears the
following phrase:
1t does seem to me that the parish Of Orleans
has now educational advantages enough over
the country parishes, without asking more.
There schools are kept open through the whole
year. year after year. except vacations, and the
teachers are paid for them.
The correspondent evidently labors under
some erroneous impression. Ii he would
take the pains to refer to the annual report OF
the State Superintendent, he will see that the
teachers for the parish OF Orleans have not
been paid for the month Of December 1877,
nor for the last four months of 1878, and fur
thermore, the correspondent will ascertain
that the city cannot pay the sum of the pay
rolls for December 1877, amounting to 5000,
and for the last four months Of 1878, aggre-
eating 100000.
The correspondent aforesaid also goes on
to explain that:
The avails OF the Peabody fund have all been
~ appended on New Orleans school with, be-
.love. put one exception. l think $500 has been
appropriated to school in East Baton Rouge.

Mr.. G. O. Coffin, Of Boston, made curious
showing. the other day, before the Hewitt
committee, OF the effects ana advantages OF
labor-saving machinery. When machinery
was first introduced In England, it will be
remembered, the workingmen and mechali-
les generally were bitterly opposed DO it Oh
the ground that 1t would decrease the de-
mand for labor and cheat thousands OF work
ingmen out OF employment. Many we're the
manufactures burned by them on this
account, and IL became necessary fol-
the manufacturers to call on the gov
ernment for troops to protect their prop
erty. Mr.. Coffin demonstrated the advan-
tage OF machinery In the cotton manu-
featuring business by some startling fig
ures. There were DOW, he said, Il, 900 900 per-
sons employed In cotton manufacture
throughout the world. Were none Of the i'm
proved machines used In this business
known, and the old loom and hand system Of
the last century followed, the whole working
population OF the world, men, women and chill.
dren, would be insufficient to manufacture
the cotton-cloth now made by the cotton Oh.
eratives. The invention OF the Gotten gin alone
saves 5OO,0CO,OOO days work. Before its in
vention the amount OF cotton cleaned by
hand per day was only four pounds per indi-
vidual 1t would have taken nearly two mil
lions persons an entire years work to gin the
cotton raised In the civilized world-a work
that Is now easily performed, thanks to the
cotton gin, by 1914 persons.

The militia convention held at New York
last week was quite largely attended.
Among those present were the adjutant gen
erals Of South Carolina, Missouri, Iowa, Ill
inois, Ohio and Louisiana. The convention
adopted, with some few changes, the ma
tional militia bill, Of which we have already
spoken. The President Is authorized by this
bill to select board, partly from the army
and partly from the State militias, to draw
up rules and regulations for the guidance
OF the militia, to suggest proper uniform,
etc. Only when called into the service OF the
United States can the President designate
the commanders OF militia brigades and di-
visions. All other matters relating to the
militia are left to the various State legisla-
lures. The number Of men provided for is
not to exceed seven hundred to each con-
gressional district Tho bill further provides
that the Federal govern ment shall give 81 ,OOO,-
900 annually for armiug and equipping the
militia of the various States, and for annual
encampments, rifle atches, drills, etc, and
other military exercises TO encourage the dis
cipline of the State troops.
The Southern delegates seem to have taken
a leading part in the convention, discussing
all the measures that affected the rights Of
the States, whereas the delegates from the
Middle States and New England had but
little to say on any subject. After adjourn
ment the delegates effected permanent or
ganization, nominated an executive commit
tee, consisting of one officer from each State
and Territory, and adjourned to meet at St.
Louis September 80, 1879. Gen. w. J. Behan
of this State was selected to represent Lou
isiana on the executive committee.

Friday and Saturday nights. the 18th and
10th, when will be produced for the first
time in Wilmington that celebrated work
of the French authors, Messrs. Victorien
Sardou, Eugene Nus, and Prince Lubor-
niersky, (adapted by l.. X. Shewell)
"The Exiles," which was played ut the
Walnut Street Theatre and the Boston
Theatre for over 200 nights to crowded
houses, thousands having been turned
away nightly, not being able to obtain
even standing room. This grand roman.
tic play which has earned such an envi-
able reputation for the hold 1t takes ON
the feelings of the audience, on account
of the good acting and fine scenery,
will be given here by the same strong
cast and all of the original scenery. The
ballroom scene IL one of the finest ever
produced, and the great snow scene in
the third act is marvel of scenic paint
ing, while the fire scene Is one of the
most realistic and thrilling scenes ever
put on the stage. We would advise every

here, brings with him an experience OF
eight years at the head OF a thriving busi-
ness in Connecticut, and with his pleas

of Mr.. Russell, eleven OF which were in a

Cast Iron Trees.

Some time ago two venerables trees, on
the premises of Lamotte DUPONT, Esq,
near this city, being snfeebled by the
sncroachmsnts of years yielded to the
fury of a storm and were blown down.
Both trees were very old, one of them
over hundred years, and as memento
Of their honOred existence it was decided
to place two cast iron fac sim,les of a por-
ton of their tunks on the sites the trees
80 long occupied. These cast-iron stumps
were made at the foundry Of K. G. Stot-
senburg & Co., at Front and Washing
ton streets, and one of them has just been
put In position. 1t has been painted to
resemble nature, and in size and contour
is exactly slmilar to the older of the two
trees that we're blown down. 1t is about
feet high, and nearly five feet in dame
ter at the base, and at liItle distance
looks just like genuine tree stump. The
other casting is now in the foundry, re-
ceiving the finishing touches, and will be
| completed in few days.
