WE desire to call especial attention to the
communication of SUGGESTED" ON the
water question, which appears in another
column. II presents the case in clear and
cogent manner and must convince the
public mind that the increase of water rates
under the fiat of the Commissioners is
justified neither by law nor necessity, and
is bold fraud upon 10000 disiranchised
and abused people Of mismanaged and
oppressed city, through the petty arrogance
and tyranny of its irresponsible rulers.

AN EMPHATIC PLATFORM.
There Is necessarily little talk yet as to the
platform which the convention Is likely to adopt
but IL is known with considerable defnteness what
Its general tenor will be. The Presidents attitude
In his vetoes and in all his resistance of the en-
croachments of Congress will be approved, and that
too, with the utmost cordiality. ALI the questions
in the controversy with Congress will undoubtedly
be touched upon-the election laws the question OF
State Rights as opposed to the National authority
the threatened Withholding Of appropriations, etc.
There will be plank upon the corporation problem
In the spirit Of the suggestion made edtoray on that
point by THE tribune. The resumption plank will
ring loud and clear and claim for the Republican
party tho credit which 1t deserves for the work
accomplished. The presentation of tho dangers to
tho country to be expected from return of South
ern rule will be made as forcible as the truth de-
mands State issues will also receive attention;
Republican demands for reforms will be reiterated
and Republican achievements be proclaimed. IL
will be platform on which the whole convention
can stand, and the more easily because last years
differences of opinion have ceased to exist.

The delegates to the Republican State Con-

Of the Convention very fast. A remarkable
Gathering of the leaders of the party is taxi

that Mr.. Cornell will be nominated for Gov
ernor. His nomination seems now to be taken
for granted. 1t is said that he can only be
defeated by prompt fusion OF the

that such fusion does not now
seem probable. The rivalry for the nomina-
ton is devoid of acrmony. Mr.. Wheeler is
expected to be president of the Convention,

needed not the sunlight or shade,
As trod the em'rald lea;
For my thoughts had drifted to the past,
When began the Indians woe;
When dread fate on them its shadow cast,
Not hundred years ago.
On the banks of the Suwanee I stood
The scene not the same as then.
A home where nestles the planters brood,
Stands in the wooded glen.
Where palm and cypress grew side by side
The husbandman YIELDS the hoe;
The deer no more in the coverts hide,
Like hundred years ago.
The pale-face came and envied the land.
The Seminole's hunting ground,
And one by one pass'd the Indian band
Scarce any now to be found.
When Osceola thro treach'ry fell
Captive to his Saxon foe,
Thro' the bright everglades rang theiI
knell,
Half a hundred years ago.

For Salt River!
DEPARTURE OF THE DE-
FEATED.

The above large and handsome
vessels put out last Wednesday for
that haven of perfect rest and COM
plete retirement, Familiarity known
to all political gentleman who have
mistaken their calling, as salt
River" 1t will be observed, that
with eminent propriety, they have
secured low-pressure steamers, in
order that everything might be in
strict accord with their present state
of feeling. They Dupart-ed quietly
and serenely, as soon as the returns
were all in, without any ostenta-
tious preparations. They were very
docile and orderly, at last accounts,
and will doubtless remain so, as the
eagle eyes of Sheriffs Shoultz and
Phillips are upon them. Should
any outbreak occur, however, Coro-
Ler Dicks, who also accompanies the
expedition in his official capacity,
will be on hand to tender his ser
vices when required.
Some of them will probably re-
turn in 1884, as there will doubtless
be another conquest" abont that
time. Only four long years to wait.

Gambling, in its various forms,
seems just now to be attracting the
attention of the city fathers, but
there does not seem to be any way
of stopping the evil, SO long as the
young men of the city frequent such

the persistency that they now do.
Even when the police pull" n den,
not one of the frequenters can be
made to give evidence, SO the case
falls to the ground. Keno Is the

ment is intense, leading men to play
hour after hour, in the hope of win

EDITOR ST.. TAMMANY FARMER:
Since you have so little in the
way of eloquenee in your religious
services. perhaps it would be inter-
esting to know that Ames Mstho-
dist Episcopal Church has minis
ter who, for eloquence, clear and
concise delivery, and minute ex-
plicitness, has not an equal in the
South. / know this is saying n
great deal, bnt such is the verdict
Of the public, as proved by the
crowded state of his church, ut the
two services Oh Sunday, and the
Thursday evening lecture or prayer
meeting. The last corners are gen.
orally obliged to take seats very far
back, and sometimes are forced to
go into the galleries. Like every
good thing in this world, though,
visiting this church has it's draw
backs, the worst of which is the
choir; and only last Sunday the first
hymn of the service was very near q
future. 1t was atoned for, how

hymn, Consider the Lilies"

Der of them here, on business and
otherwise.
Little Lolita, New Orleans favor
lite actress, has been here for the
past week, and am not sure which
has had the most patronage from
the children and newsboys, Lolita
or Coles Circus, which has been
here also. Indeed, New Orleans
is very gay now, and there seems to
have fallen on our dear old pride
of the South" shadow of her for
mer prosperity and brightness, and
it is to be hoped the shadow will
soon become very substantial
reality, which will be reflected all
over the State.
