BONDS AND BANKING,

An impression prevails in some quarters
that the DEMOCRATS advocacy OF currency
bonds was confined to O proposition to fund
the floating debt into securities Of that char
acter. This Is a mistake. Our proposition
was and Ii to include in the settlement OF the
funded debt OF the State q clause leaving 1t
optional with the holders Of Louisiana con-
soils, In refunding them, to exchange them for
currency bonds or bonds OF large denomina-
tions. We have frequently presented the
great advantages the conversion Of the debt
into currency bonds would confer upon the
trade Of New Orleans and the agriculturists OF
Louisiana and neighboring States. The only
argument we have heard advanced against it
IL, that 1t is calculated to restore the old sys-
tenn Of free or wildcat banking.
This Is simple nonsense. IN the first place,
our proposition does not look, at this time, to
the issue Of State bank notes, but to the con-
version Of twelve millions OF less Of debt into
small bonds convenient for circulation, and
which will be held by our own people and
neighbours. In the second place, even IL our
free bank system were restored we would have
no wildcat banks.
The free banking system Of Louisiana,
similar to that OF New York, was as safe
aud secure a system as human wisdom
could devise. 1t had no resemblance to Wild
cat banking. It was framed by wise and
able finaneiers to guard against wildcat
banking and to afford New Orleans all
| the facilities her trade required and the
agricultural districts tributary TO her
all the aid they needed Wildcat banking,
under the Louisiana law. was and is abso-
lutely impossible We believe that 1t may be
safely said that no considerable sum was ever
lost through the currency Of our free banks.
They were suspended and crushed by war,
and II every note they had In circulation hnd
been made of gold, they would have been
just as etfectually crushed.
We urge the Convention to give this propo-
sition The maturist consideration. New Or
leans wants commercial emancipation from
the East. The currency bonds will give It to
her. Our planters, farmers, and real estate
owners require system Of banking from
which they can obtain assistance. The con-
version of our bonds into currency will fill
this requirement.. It is important that
in settling the debt all possible provis-
ions should be adopted calculated to keep
the debt, or the largest portion Of 1t, at
home, that the Interest may be paid out to
our own citizens instead Of being sent abroad.
The conversion Of the debt into currency will
accomplish this et1ectually.
Hence, viewed from every standpoint, the
proposition to convert our consols into cur
rency promises to Tighten the burden Of debt
and confer large benefits upon the city and
State. We know OF no argument against IT.
We therefore once more press it upon the at
| tenti0n OF the Convention.

In another columnWe publish a vigorous
protest from Mr.. w. aF. Herman, OF East Fell
ciana, against the License system. We do not
believe that this method OF taxation is the
burden on trade and commerce which Mr..
Herman represents tito be. Nor do we see the
Injustice or impolicyIof exactin9 license tax
from coffee-houses, bankers, brokers, insu-
rance, telegraph and express companies and
similar moneyed corporations. On the con-
trary, we have pointed out time and again,
as the most conspicuous defect Of our
present system of taxation, the compare
tive exemption OF these corporations from q
just and equitable participation in the public
burdens resulting from the uncertainty and
crudities Of the revenue laws. We have in
sisted that the unjust discrimination in favor
of these institutions be corrected, and that
some equitable method of assessment and
taxation be devised by which they could be
forced to contribute their share to the public
treasury. We still hold to these views, and
SO far differ from chose expressed by Mr..
Herman that we hold that the Injustice Of the
present law results from its leniency rather
than its rigor IN respect to the taxation OF
this class OF institutions.
Aside from the question of expediency, we
believe In the justice Of this system OF taxa
ton. A man in the active pursuits of life can
better afford to pay taxes on the capital he Is
working On and increasing every day, than
can his widow and children on the home and
real estate be has provided for their support

THE SARATOGA ROWING MATCH.

In the rowing regatta which took place at
Saratoga On Wednesday, our Southern oars
men. though they achieved no victories, made
for themselves good record. Probably had
they not been subjected to q change In eli
mate, which Ia held to affect muscular action,
they may have gaindd the few seconds In
time necessary to overcome their aecimated
opponents in the rowing matches. In the
first trial heat Murray OF Portsmouth, Va,
among five contestants, secured the first
place In ii .s51tg, with Musgroye second one
length behind.
LII the third race twd prominent Southern
oarsmen were participahts ~ Mumford, OF New
Orleans, and Uretty, of Galveston three
others from NurthernI States LII this race
Mumford and Crotty both made better time
than the victor In the frst match; Mumford
being second in the Thrift race, with a record
OF 10 :53l14 and Orotty third In II ISL.
The record OF championship among the
rowers Of the Gulf States still remains with
q New Orleans oarsmfani
While the patrons of aquatie sports In our
city are disappointed that our oarsmen were
not winners Of the races, they are by no
means dissatisfied with the results achieved,
and are firmly convinced that with little
longer rest from their travels and residence
under a new climate, they would have won
signal victories.

CAPT. EADs AND. THE RIVER COM
MISSION.

We learn that Capt. Eads still holds In
allegiance his acceptance Of the Mississippi
river commissionershp.- We hope he will
conclude to accept thh appointment. For the
first time after mahy years Of effort, the
men whose interests| are identified with the
Mississippi river have succeeded in procuring
the passage Of a bill whose provisions are
calculated to inaugurate o system OF i'm
provement commensurate with the interests
involved. Under this bill appointments have
been made by the President which fairly rep
resent the differnntI scientific theories urged
Tor It's Improvement. A report from COM
mission thus om1osed will certainly COM
mand the acceptance by Congress OF Its recon-
mendations and sufficient appropriations to
carry them out. The facilities offered by the
provisions Of the bill for investigation should
certainly enable any body of scientific men,
bringing good sense and good temper to the
work, to arrange their differences of theory
and detail SO as substantially to agree upon
and recommend ona plan.
But IL the composition OF the board Is not
fairly representative III every respect, their
report may share the neglect and want Of con-
iidenee awarded to previous commissions 1t
will then be doubtful If an opportunity Of
river Improvement over recurs.
1T IS for these reasons that we hope Capt
Eads will accept. His professional record is
SO identified with the Mississippi river, and
the application OF principles by him to its
management has been SO successful, that we,
who are not welded TO any particular theory,
as well as those whoIare fully in accord with
his theories, feel as II we were rightfully en-
titod to his services on this most important
duty

press considerable surprise at the manner In
WHICH strike Is conducted In Sweden. The
moment that the men leave their work and
begin the strike for higher wages In that
country, they go around to all the officials
and beg them to shut up all liquor shops In
the district, in order to prevent any riot Oh
difficulty. Thestrikers then spend their time
in prayer-meetings, etc. In this country the
usual fashion Is for the strikers to visit The

begin riot.

that the citizens of our village receive

the news of our neighboring villages

from others it would be selfish to with
hold that which would he of import
ance to those who read your worthy
paper. In the village of Christiana
there are two churches set apart for ths
work of Christ to save the fallen by
pointing them TO the Saviour of man
kind, who taketh away the sins of the
world, while, on the other hand, there
are two hotels, where men drink that
which destroy both body and soul. Oh,
that men would cease to drink strong
drink and be wise. 1t is the work of
Gods people to admonish, reprove and
encourage the weak.
Bro. Il. Davis, our worthy pastor of

ly by appointment of Conference, we
believe will do us good in Gods name.
He and his family intend to give us a
