THE DEBT SETTLEMENT.
Lake Charles Gazette.

IIuh6 suhIl6S ddAUtgSsJ
The Convention have at last reached vote I
upon the question Of the State debt, and have
decided to recognize The principal OF the debt
and reduce the rate Of interest to per cent
for fifteen years and per cent thereafter. we
are glad to see that this question has at last
give Immediate relief to the tax payers, and
at the same time by such proposition as, we
feel assured, will be accepted by the bond,
holders, SO that 1t Is to be hoped this yexed
question is now forever set at rest.
Lake Charles Echo.l
Our State Constitutional Convention has at
last succeeded In avoiding the seriously
threatened reputation OF q large portion o.
the State debt, and at the same time has
given immense relief to our over-taKed people
by reducing the annual interest thereon from
per cent (the present rate to per cent for
fifteen years and per cent thereafter. The
principal OF the debt, as recognized under the
existing funding act (which requires the Fund
ing Board to issue consolidated bonds for old
bonds and warrants at the rate OF sixty cents
on the dollar, and prohibits the board from
funding any debt Of doubtful legality until SO
is to be paid in thirty years, and can easily be
paid long before under the beneficial operation
Of our new constitution, with anything like
an honest administration OF the State govern
ment
The Convention will now have no difficulty
in soon completing It's labors, and We are sat
isfed these iabors will prove OF lasting benefit
to our State.
Justice to that large and respectable mem
bership Of the Convention, always In o maior-
ity up to this week, who favored d reduction
Of the principal Of the State debt from some
thing near twelve millions to something near
three millions, requires the acknowledgment
that no one could successfully deny that a
large portion OF the State debt had its origin
In fraud and corruption. It was also, how
ever, conceded by all that it was impossible
to define exactly what portion Of the debt
was fraudulent, and therefore 1t was better
every way to avoid the reproach and the
grave evils Of Reputation. We congratulate
the Convention and the State on this honor
able and wise settlement Of question which
fora long time threatened either lasting In
jury to the fair fame Of Louisiana, or dis
ruption Of the Constitutional Convention.

According to the Boston Journal OF
Commerce. the leadidg industries In
Massachusetts continue to show im-
provement in many instances. and to
hold their own in all. In all the great
manufacturing csnters there is an in
areased activity, and a consequent
improved demand for labor. The
Lowell factories are all busy, and
several are on extra time; the Essex
County Mills are, with one or two ex-
cepiions. kept fully employed in or
ders; and throughout the shoe towns
there lie, late as it is in the season,
plenty OF employment for willing
hands. In word, manufacturing
help Is we'll employed, at prices
which. IL not up to the high rates pre-.
vailing few years ago, are far pre-
ferable to the wages Of idleness.

sion: The true issue for 1880 is ma
tional supremacy in national matters,
honest money, and an honest dollar.
The rifle clubs and shotgun plat
oons in the South are composed Of
veteran Confederate soldiers. They
are to be permitted, under the Bour-
bon policy, to take charge OF the
polls. In other words it is the Con-
federate army. and not the United
States army, which is to have charge
OF things down that way.-National

A committee waited on the Presi-
dent few days ago, to know on
what terms he would compromise
with the Democrats. He properly
informed them thae IL was not his
business to legislate or to state in
advance what bills he would sign OF
what he would veto. He told them
in effect, to 60 ahead and pass laws
that were in accordance with the
constitution and the spirit OF our
form OF government and he would
not veto them.

The editor OF the State Register,
published at Springfield. Illinois. is
Gen. John M. Palmer. ex- governor OF
the State, whom the New York Sun
thinks should be the next Democratic
candidate for President Palmer
says he will not be candidate. but
he throws cold water on the Judge
Davis boom and the Ohio "idea" in
the following language: 'If the
Democratic convention in 1880 should
indorse any other than hard money
views, the party would scarcely carry
q State IN the Union. The Palmer
boom. it may be admitted. does not
amount to much, but no man who
entertains any other than hard money
opinions will ever be President OF the
Union States" Palmer says Judge
Davis merits the thanks OF every man
In the country. but be Is radically
wrong on the money question.

An Irishman. charged with q grave

iabers" said Pat. "thats what I am
afraid Of" The Democrats in Con-
gress are In the Same condition to
day. Rifle clubs in the South shoot
down men who dare to vote any
other than the ticket that the old
slave drivers dictate; plug uglies,
thugs and shoulder hitters, vote from
ten to fifty times each in the city OF
New York, and In other places 1t is
almost as bad: yet the Democrats are
scared and nervous and are afraid
that their party will wait to do even
worse thingsat the next election than
has ever been done before. and that
troops will be used TO prevent men
from voting more than once. and to
give to every man entitled to vote
the privilege OF voting II he wishes.
They are making a terrible fuss; the
President tells them not to be alarm

William Lloyd Garrison, the veteran
anti-slavery agitator, died in New
York Saturday night, after linger-
ing Illness. Few men have been more
widely known than he. A native OF
Massachusetts, and printer by trade
be became a convert to aSoliti0nism
in early life. In 1923 he began the
publication OF an anti-slavery paper
in Baltimore, for which he was indie
ted and thown into prison, where he
remained nearly two months. In 1881
be commenced the publication OF the
LiJerdtor in Boston. It's utterances
against slavery were so strong that
the Legislature OF Georgia offered
reward OF $1,000 to any person who
would arrest him and bring him to
trial under the laws Of that state. In
the first number OF the Liberator he
said: Il am in earnest. / will not
equivocate, / will not excuse. will
not retreat single inch, and will
be heard" He kept his promise, and
as long as slavery lasted devoted all
his energies to its destruction. He
was a radical on all questions and
never for a moment would he enter
tain an idea OF compromise with what
be believed to be wrong. In the
course OF his life he had some thrill
adventures with the advocates OF
slavery, but lived to see the hated in
stitution swept away. He was rs
years old at the time OF his death.

Mr.. Lee the Consul General OF the
United States at Frankfort ON the
Main, furnishes the Department OF
State with an abstract OF the pro-
ceedings OF a meeting Of the German
Political Association recently In

were about equally divided between
protection and free trade. 1t was
said that the government OF every
nation IL based on protection. except
England: that England has long es-

sorry school law. and allows children

The Democrats in Congress now
talk about passing the army apprO
priation bill, with proviso, making
the use Of the money appropriated to
transport, pay and subsist the army
contingent upon their non-interfer-
ence with elections; and II the Presi-
dent vetoes this bill, they will pass a
resolution extending appropriations
for the army six months or probably
adjourn without making any pro-
vision whatever. 10 other words rifle
clubs may be used to intimidate voters
and men may be murdered to prevent
their voting the Republican ticket.
but United States troops shall not be
used to prevent these outrages, and

Fernando Wood declared at a meet
ing OF the Ways and Means commit
tee few days since. that the Demo
Gratis could never carry New York so
long as the election laws remained
unrepealed. That Is why the Democ-
racy compelled an extra session OF
Congress and why they remain In
Washington doing nothing, refusing
to pass the appropriation bills, and
mourning an expense OF more than
ten thousand dollars a day. Their
leader in the State OF New York, Fer
nando Wood, chairman OF the Ways
and Means committee-the leading
gambler and lottery swindler of the
Of the United States-says the laws
must be repealed, or In other words
unless the repeaters can have full
swing in New York City the Demo
Gratis can not hope to carry that state.
How many OF Marshall county's bus
mess men or sturdy sons OF toll are
ready to vote for men who admit
that they are opposedt to fair elections,
and spend ten thousand dollars day
to enable the thieves aud gamblers OF
New York City to rule the state and
nation contrary to the will OF the peo-
pie fairly expressed at the ballot box.
A Democratic Congress has put it
self on record as opposed to any cleo
ton law which gives to every legal
voter the right to vote once aud only
once. and the party proposes to go
before the country and ask the peo-
pie to sustain them on this issue.
We do not believe the people will do
any such thing. Democrats as well
as Republicans are interested In the
purity OF the ballot. A government
like ours cannot exist IL a mob is TO
be allowed to take possession OF the
ballot box with no law to prevent
them, and cast and count as many
votes az they please, to enable the
thieves and gamblers OF New York or
any other state, to rule, con-
trsry to the will of the people fairly
expressed at the ballot box. The
Democracy OF this country has put
itself on the record In favor OF mob
law At the polls.
