Mr.. B: F. Schroeder, one of
the publishers of the Norehouse
CLARION, on his Way home from u
business trip to New Orleans,
stopped off at Baton Rouge to
spend a day with his relatives
and numerous friends in this city.
He left here on the steamer
Blanks Thursday morning. We
were glad to see him, and to
note the fact that the hand of
time had dealt gently with him.
We scarcely expected to see a
fine round face with rosy cheeks
and goodly proportions of body,
yet twas SO with our friend Ben,
and we wondered muchlY thereat,
for the country printer generally
Is just OF the opposite type.
The only reason We car find to
account for it is that Ben has a
better class of patrons to deal
with than the general run of pub
llshers have and that he doesn't
have to wear out the soul of his
body as we'll the soles of his
shoes in desperate effort to COL
lect what he has earned by the
hardest sort of work. Friend
Schroeder speaks very encour-
aglngly of his section and people.

The Hon. John F. House of

The Hon. John F. House, of
tennessee, one of the shrewlest
men i'll Congress, made a speech in
the House of Representatives on
the 18th inst. upon the subject Of
civil service reform. In that speoc h
Mr.. House reviewed the frands
and rascalities perpetrated bv the
Republican party in 1876, DURING
the suspense of the presidential
election which depended upon the
Returning Boards appointed to
canvass the votes of Louisiana and
Florida. Mr.. House gives the Re-
publican party severe fits through
out his entire speech. He proves
conclusively, to any sane mind,
that the officials of Louisiana were
bought by Hayes, through sher-
liiall, ny q positive promise to give
those officials fat office, and that
the fulflllment of that promise con-
summated Hayes idea of civil SER
vice reform. In fact, such an act
constitutes the Republican partv's
conception of what it's duty and
mission are. If the people endorse
the Republican party in 1880, the
people will condone the frauds of
that party in 1876, and our great
Republic, which is admired and re-
spected by all nations, will sink
into disgrace and oblivion.
The duty Of the American peo-
pie is to fight against the success of
that party, whose escutcheon is
tainted with the stains of the 1876
fraud.

The State Democratic Conven-
ton, whose Office is to elect dele
gates to the National Convention
in Cincinnati, which convenes on
the ed of next June, will meet
in New Orleans on the 18th Of
next month. 1t is imperatively
necessary that the people
throughout the State take an
earnest interest in the selection
of delegates to the State Conven-
ton. The State Central Com
mittee have decided that the
number Of delegates to that Con-
vention from each parish shall
be based upon the number Of
delegates that assembled in
Baton Rouge in October 1879,
''except when the Democratic
vote was increased at the election
on December I'd, 1879, in which
case that vote shall prevail"
We urge upon the Chairman
OF the Parish Committee Of
Morehouse the Importance of
calling an election at once to Sc
lect delegates to that convention.
We also urge the Importance Of
the election of the very best and
wisest men of this parish to that
convention. Morehouse is en-
titled to seven delegates, and We
prefer men to represent this par
ish in that Convention who are
"teeth and toe nail opposed to
the nomination OF old Tilden at
Cincinnati. We have not much
time, and we insist upon an early |
action.

he would make the nomiuatiO,
for the Supreme Beuch as 500,
as he was inaugurated. Tn,
reason assigned by the Cover
nor's friends for an immediat,
appointment Was that he woult
be anxions to avoid the con
tinued solicitations and persist
ent suggestions of certain par
ties in behalf of certain men. [
was our purpose, as a journalist
to keep quiet upon the subject
believing that the ve,y best men
in the several districts would be
the men of the Governors choice.
Indeed, We did not think it the
duty, nor within the province OF
a journalist to urge the claims OF
any man to a position fraught
with such dignity, such respon-
sibility and such obligations as
those which will devolve upon
the appointees of Gov. Wilt
to the Supreme Bench Of the
State Of Louisiana. But we find
the press Of the State holding
up the claims of certain men to
that position. We find the Gov.
ernor disposed to indulge the
full length Of time granted him
by the Constitution to make
these appointments. If the press
Of the State has right to die
tate and suggest to Mr.. Wilt the
particular man or men who are
most 6tly qualified to sit upon
the supreme Bench of this State,
then the CLARION feels that it
has for this district a choice in
the person Of one Of the ablest
men in Louisiana. It is to pre-
sent the claims of this man that
We write this article.
In the last issue of the Clai-
borne Guardian, one of the
spiciest and most earnest news
papers in North Louisiana, the
editor has written a fervent ap-
peal in behalf Of Capt. Mutt, of
Shreveport, as a candidate for a
seat upon the Supreme Bench,
The Guardian states that every |
lawyer in Homer, except Gen.
Young, had signed a petition to
the Governor asking Senator
Nuts appointment. Young re-
fused to sign the petition, we
suppose, because he preferred
man whom he regards better
qualified for that distinguished
position than Mutt. At all events,
zen. Young prefers Col. Robert
B. Todd, Of Morehouse, to Sem
stor L. N. Mutt, of Shreveport
This prominent citizen of More
louse is the choice of the CLA-
ZION for many reasons. We do
lot intend to disparage in the
east the abilities Of Senator
MUTT. He may be a very able
nan-no doubt he is. His ap-
might meet the ap-
probation OF the bar in Northwest

le is the choice Of the people Of
