The New York Tribune proves
that the Bland silver bill was sup
ported by Democrats, and that it
was opposed by Republicans in
Congress. The effort is to lead the
money power of the East against the
Democratic nominees, but in many
other portions of the country the
record OfDemocrats on this question
should secure them support, where
they have met with opposition. The
TiI65tne'S statement is as follows:
Vote on the '.act to authorize the free
coinage of the standard silver dollar. and
to restore its legal tender character" in

We thank our contemporary for the

votes to the visit of our editor-in-

An Extra Session.

A number Of the newspapers of
Louisiana, led by the New Orleans
Ereniny States, are agitating tue ques-
ton Of an extra session Of our General
Assembly. The Marksville Regieu thus
sets forth some Of the reasons urged
Ivy these papers why sucl, a session
is, in their judgment, desirable and
necessary:
Why do we need an extra session
For almost every thing; for the city
of New Orleans, her charter, debt, etc. +;
tn provide II more efficient system Ut
revenue; to make setne provision by
which assessments caa be revised and
equalized throughout the State; to
reconsider the lottery bill; and last,
but not least, to make some decent
and necessary provision for public
education. These are only few Of
the many things that need Immediate
attention. The last Legislature was
!. disgrace to the party; SO much SO,
inleed, that the Democracy can not
afford to drag tl,ougl, two years with
such a responsibility attached to it's
record. There never has beet :, time
in tile history Of Louisiana when our
laws we're SD defective. When Re-
publicans were in power the fault was
not so aRuch in the laws as in the
failure to- execute them. Now that
we have Democratic amae throughout
the State, u contamination we have
sought. hoped and prayed for through
aong, dreary years of misrnle and ol.-
preston, where is the prosperity and
happiness we hoped to attain, where
the truition IF Democratic promises
aud party struggles I Where? How
stands the credit of the Statee How
are her servants paid What are her
warrants worth? How are the elu-
cati"nal needs Of her poor children
I'r"vided for9 Can the party, can
the people afford to wait two years to
srmcdy these crying evils We will
reserve for another issue the answers
to these qnestinns.

Executive A Appointments.

The decisiUn Of the Supreme Court
at Opelnusas il the Case Of the c0n-
testants iii this city for certain Offices
the occupants Df which are appointed
by tile Governor, il very important
one, and il a severe rebuke to the ar
bitrnry spirit which has been too
prominent characteristic four Dung
Governors administration. The fact
that most Ut the important appoint
n,ents in the control Of the Governor
were delayed until the last days Of the
session Of the Legislature, aud the
Senate thereby deprived of it's consti-
tutiuual power to pass upon them, was
generally and unfavorbly commented
OH ut the time.
It was thought chat the Governor
exhibited Al arbitrary temper and d
determination to make appointments
Ut favOrites and retainers regardless
If the CO ordinate rights and duty Ut
the Senate.
There seems to be little doubt that
many IF the appointments made
would have been rejected by the Sem
ate had that body had an opportunity
to exercise it's constitutional functions
in the matter. By this decision Of
the Supreme Court it is established
that the Senate Cut, not be thus arbi-
trarily ignored in matter of such great
Importance. The appointive power
is dangerous one, aud more liable
than most functions Of an executive Il,
be abused. Hence, wherever Consti-
tutional Conventions and Legislatures
have deemed it necessary or polite to
bestow this power they have guarded
it, ms far as possible from abnse, by
requiring that it shall be exercised BY
and with the advice aud consent of
the Senate. When, therefore, the ex-
ecutivc neglects to make his appoint
ments during the sitting of the Legis-
lature, aud thus usurps power wise
" divided between himself md an
other department of the government,
he violates the constitution, and his
appointments are illegal aud vui.l.

On tho slopes Of Amethyst Mountain,
III the Yellowstone Park, are exposed ct
different levels large number Of silici-
fed trees, many being rooted in the po-
sition in which they grew, and from
twenty to thirty feet in height. Some
lying down are of immense size. The
series of sandstones and conglomerates
in which the trees are imbedded is moro
that five thousand feet thick, forming a
vertical mile of fossil forests. The woody

the wood they are filed with crystals Of
