to to secure their ends.

The London Pail Mall Gazette of March
q, said: ''It would be useless to remain
silent longer respecting the uneasy feel
ing that exists in the city. To those
who are accustomed to feel the pulse of
Lombard street and viciuity, the aspect
presented during the last week has been
such as to remind one of occasions with
which we are far from instituting a
comparison. Names of institutions of
high standing have been made free
with in a manner to alarm those who
easily lose their heads, and rumors,
arising out of very little perhaps, have
become more and more serious by repe-
tition. We do not mean to deny that
there may be grounds for some uneasi-
ness. Trade generally is notOriously ly
depressed. The eastern trade, in par
ticular, has been in collapse for years.
BAD business, losses, and the lookup of
capital were, therefore, to be expected
and prepared for. But we would re-
mind those who may be discomposed
by the rumors, now too general to be
any longer disregarded, with what facil-
ity, in the present temper of the public
mind, scare can be got up. Only two
months ago a few people stopping to
talk at the door of one of the greatest
of the London joint stock banks actual
ly caused a run upon it. Another point
that should be borne in mind, is that
disasters that do happen are scarcely
ever forsecn. How many persons heard
anything to the detriment of the City of
Glasgow bank before it closed its
doOrs?'

PLATED silver is obtained by rolling
together plate of copper of the first
quality and one of silver; these are
either welded or simply united by plac-
ing their hot and clean surfaces to-
gether, wetted with a concentrated So
luton of nitrate of silver. The two
metals are reduced and drawn out
about equally by the pressure of rolls,
and long sheets or bands Of silvered
metal are thus obtained.

CONVENTION GOSSIP,

Curiosity to hear the debate on the report Of

the State House and the Convention hall the
largest audience which has ever ret attended
the session of the body.
The lobby was racked. and the crowd even
gathered on the floor OF the Convention itself,

cards Of admission from the members.
The discussion was listened to with an atten-
ton which manifested the interest felt by all In
the solution OF the great question.
The debate will be resumed to-day. and will
probably be opened by Delegate 6emmes. who

We commend to the careful consideration Of

Hon. Don Caffrey, Of st. Mary, to Hon. g. +.
Kidd, chairman of the Committee on State
Debt. From the majority report Mr.. Caffrey
dissented in a minority report, which reflects
he represents IN the Convention It is a
sound, conservative, legal refutation of the
pernicious revolutionary and Mexicanizing
doctrines enunciated In the report Of the ma
jority, and we sincerely hope there will be
Convention to lead the unqualified rejection
of the majority report, even II presented by
a majority Of the whole committee. II, as
the New Orleans DEMOCRAT says, we are to
have reputation, let us put it on some other
ground.
ST. Landry stands to-day as she stood
when the convention met here in April to
nominate delegates to the Convention. But
one candidate then came before the Conven-
tion avowedly in favor Of reputation of the
State debt He was VIGOROUSLY the most
popular man, personally, in the parish. He
possessed every qualification necessary In
a delegate; yet he was defeated on the first
ballot, and for the avowed reason that he
was In favor of reputation. Yet he never
could have been brought to advocate the wild
scheme on which the majority of the sub
committee base their report.
II this scheme at Mexicanization and re-
puulaIlOn Is 20 succeed, 20 Lne eternal shame
and disgrace of our State, we rejoice to think
there will be found one true son Of Louisiana
