The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1880-01-09

Lieut. Gov. Hickanl Copper, OF Ohio, threat
ems to resign. although he Inns not yet taken
his seat The reason is furnished by his
party associates. The Republicans In the
State Senate have determined to take out OF
the hands Of tho presiding officer the appoint
rnent oil committees, pages and such other
scraps Of patronage az have heretofore been
conceded TO the office. Hieksnlooper looks
upon this IA an attempt to snnb him, and
does not intend TO stand IT, At least he says
SO. II Ia probable that he will conclude that
he can best worry his party enemies by re-
mining where he Ia, and that the threats to
resign will not be carried out.

Some Of The delegates from New YORK 70
the late Socialist convention returned To their
homes very much Disguised With themselves
and their party With themselves for being

delegates were present from twenty elites,
and they pretended to represent an Ofganba-
tlon national In It's character, and which has

The field next year Although this was de-
tern,lned upon, the re5urnlng delegates let 1t

The Republicans, who just now are 50 much
sgitated over the strict construction placed
upon the law by the Governor and Council Of
Maine, and who contend that the will of the
people should not be overturned by any mere
informality, would do we'll 20 turn their ut
tention to Ohio for o brief season. The law
OF that State requires that all ballots must be
printed on white paper. 1t appears that In
Henry county the Democratic ticket was
printed on paper having blush tint. These
ballots being counted elected a Democratic
Senator. IL they had been thrown out @ Re
publican would have got the certificate. The
only question Is whether any ballots printed
on other but perfectly white paper should DO
counted. Following the letter OF the law they
are clearly illegal. This is admitted on all
sides, and such papers as the Cincinnati Go
settle are now calling upon the Senate to eject
the Democratic member and seat his Repub-
lIcan opponent for this reason alone. The
same papers which demand strict eonstrue-
tion of the law In Ohio are the ones which are
ana loudest lii their demands that the will
and intention of the people should be given
fun effect without regard to the law, In

The managers of the Grant entertainment

on the happy financial showing Of their enter

New York has scarcely given the GENITAL
system fair trial. II went Into effect January
and was abolished yesterday by the New
York Produce Exchange, by vote OF vi TO
1863. There is no denying the fact that the
GENITAL system presents many advantages
over the old way of transaGting business. but
It Ia claimed on the other hand that the time
Ia not ripe for 1t just yet. Its adoption In
New York compelled The merchants Of that
city to reduce the grain shipped to them from
bushels 10 new divisions and measures, and
entailed on them considerable loss OF time
In doing this. sufficient, they claimed, to in
terfere with their business and damage the
grain trade Of New York short time ago
a bill was introduced In Congress looking TO
the adoption Of this Genital sytem throughout
the country, and II seemed likely that 1t
would pass. The Il-suooess Of the change In
New York, however. will probably dssuade
Congress from endeavorna 10 force on the
people new system Of weights and meas

PAYING THE PIPER.

The good people II the city ri "Rrotherly

moat magnificent manner 10 their overflow
Ing loyalty and patriotism In the reception Of
the "eonuuering hero" Grant, now find that
they have been mnst egtegionsly humbngged
and sat upon In the matter of paying The
piper
IL was distinctly understood, before the
CITY Council of Philadelphia took action on
the matter Of rendering Grant formal lnvl-
tation to visit the city, that few oi the ex
Presidents enormously rich friends would
themselves pay all the expenses attendant
upon the great jubilee. and the management
OF The whole affair was left TO the millionaire,
Geo. w. Uhllds. who was Grants beet man on
the occasion. II now appears that the city
has had to foot little bill OF $4,000 for
gloves AMI music and hotel bills for invited
and distinguished guests, and theirs is not
only savage growl Of anger thereat but
perfect howl of anguish: for the admira-
ton for Grant, among the average residents
Of Philadelphia, would never impe them to
put their hands ii their pockets to the tune
of any SUM resembling the one mentioned
above very curious Fact s that the
city was made to pay the sum OF one
hundred dollars for the brass band that
dlsooutsed sweet music al the banquet given
by Mr.. Uhilds 10 Grant at his private resi-
jaflee This causes very general and some
what excited comment. and the citizens desire
the benevolent millionaire to rise aud explain
why they should be made TO pay for music Mt
