THE QUESTION OF THE TIME

In another place We reproduce from
several of our country contempoora-
ries editorials and COMMUNICATIONS
on the State debt, some Of them de-
man,'ing its adjustment eooln',, the
basis of the elimination ofthe fraud
ulent portion and the reduction lgtt Of
the rate of interest 70 four per CENT,
aid others demanding a sweeping re-
pudiation. We have previously re-
produced articles of the same tenor
from other country papers, VII while !! I
from the Parishes farmers arm rs, Planters
M 'rcha.,ntts,l professional linen fsnd
members Of tAe Lesggisl!astuFs7 whom
sc have seen and, talked with, we
have but neaexpression OF opinion,
and that is in: accord with wh at We
print this morning. In the city
there seems to be greater diversity
of opinion. But we have taken pains
to inquire into the real views Of the,
great mass of the voters here, and
we find them to, be; lin accord with
those of the country. .sThe, vast
amonnt Of thescapital represented by
the bondholders, or rather by the
spectators in State and city bonds
and the monopolies, enable them to
make a formidable display and to
control able. and influential profess
sional aid; and We have no doubt q
tremendous movement is on foot to
control the city delegates 1.-The con-
yention, by able counselors.. among
the delegates, and by other Emeane,
the convention itself, in tho interest
of the holders of9the State debt and
the spectators in State securities
But we see little prospect of til:
, movement succeeding. The inter.
T ests concerned in maintaining the
, State debt may, il Is true, represent
twenty five or thirty millions Of or
ganized capital, and that is a ire
mendous power, inviucible, indeed
under OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. But
