CONSTITUTIONAL REVISION.
Senator Georges Letter on tho Prob
lem Before mississippi

senator Georges lteGter on tn9 PrO0-
lem Before Mississippi
NEW ORLEANS. July 5.--A special to the
Times Democrat from Vicksburg says:
A letter from Senator George formula
ting his plan for revising the constitution
Of Mississippi will appear in the CONNER
cidL Herald tomorrow. It is Of great
length. about 5000 words, and correspond
ing ability. After summarizing the diff
culties of the situation, he indicates four
cardinal principles that must govern the
constitutional convention.
1. Good government in Mississippi can
come only from predctnihance of influence
and political power In the white race.
2. That such predominance must be
formed on the essential truth of equality
and voting power Of all who are entitled to
suffrage.
3. That the civil and political rights of
the colored race, as guaranteed by the con-
stitution of the United States, are not to be
denied or abridged, but protected. Their
incapacity must be acknowledged again, to
the. end that the rights of the other race may
be projected.
THE END TO BE ATTAINED.
4. That the end sought to be attained is
the framing of a government subject to
the limitations of the constitution of the
United States, with such forms and en-
dowed with such powers as shall make iU an
instrument to protect life, liberty and prop
erty and secure the advancement and well
fare of all the people of Mississippi.
In order to secure these essentials he ad-
vocates a return TO city and township
representation as under the constitution of
1880. This principle, he thinks, might be
extended so as Co embrace other sub-divis-
ions of counties. In this way these counties or
sections which would lose in their relative
political power might be very largely COM
pensated. The object would be to secure
safe constituencies in which the legislative
powers of the state should be vested, and of
equalzing, as far as may be, the political
influence and power of the different sections
of the Stafa.

The Silver Bill Conferees Play While

WASHINGTON, July 5.-While Boss Reed
is away the silver conferees will play. So
far they have not carried out Speaker
Reeds instructions to agree upon q COM
promise silver bill. They will probably
daily along in the same unfruitful way
until Speaker Reed gets back next week
contention in conference is not over free
coinage and full certificates, as proposed in
the Senate amendments. The Senate
amendments were only meant for a bluff
and bunoombe by the Senate republicans.
The republican senator's who had voted for
the Senate amendments came over to the
House afterward and exhorted the republic
ans from their states to vote against them.
DEPENDED ON REED.
The republican senators depended on
Speaker Reeds nerve and muscle to keep
the amendments they had adopted from be-
coming a law. No one would have been
more distressed than they if the bill had
slipped through his fat fingers, but the
silver men are trading on the extreme
amendments adopted by the Senate to get
the conference to-report in favor of buying
4, SOC, 900 ounces (insbead Of dollars, as in
the House bill month and of making the
silver certificates legal tender and redeem
them in legal tenders. Instead of the
bullion redemption clause in the House bill
(unless Speaker Reed can break the silver
men DOWN they will get this much, at least.

Dor ever since the disastrous hurricane in

property, and superintend the applications
OF the proceeds to the payment of the taxes

Mr.. Sewall also made an address, in
which he reviewed the heroic conduct Of
the Samoans during the hurricane, and ex-
pressed the gratitude of the American peo--
pie and their wish for lasting peace and
prosperity to the new government of
Samoa. King Malietoa expressed the
deepest gratitude for the gift. Consul
General Sewall has appointed ex-Vice

time preceding the return of the present

ernment are rapidly passing away, and a
more cordial feeling is shown among the
representatives of the two governments who

BUSINESS PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Dun s. Co.'S Report for the Week
Makes a Favorable Showing.


NEW YORK, July 5.-This weeks review
Of trade by r. G. Dun & Co. says:
with the beginning OF the new fiscal
year We have heavy disbursements and
easier money. better crop prospects and a
continuance Of larger trade for the seaso n
than has been seen in any previous year.
The monetary apprehensions excited by ex-
ports of gold have been allayed by heavy
disbursements in dividends and interest,
said TO be the largest ever made at this sea-
son, and exclusive of government payments,
estimated at $74, 900, ,000, against SCI 900, 900
last year. The interior money markets are
all firmly supplied at the usual rates.
THE VOLUME OF TRADE.
"The volume of trade shown by the
clearing house returns at all cities outside
of New York is IA per cent. larger than
last year for the month of June and 1870
per cent. larger for the half year. The last
week or two have witnessed a smaller in
crease, the extreme hot weather having de-
pressed trade at many western points.
"The railroad earnings thus far reported
for June show a gain of 10 per cent. over
June in last year, but these show a lower
gain for the latter than for the first half of
the month.
THE IRON TRADE.
''The iron trade is more steady, but rather
dull.
Reports from the south are very favor
able as to growing cotton, and in Texas it is
estimated that the yield will be the largest
on record, but speculation has sustained the
price for early deliveries.
"In general the speculative markets have
been rather inactive, and the level of prices
for all commodities July 1, though a shade
lower than a week ago or Jan. l, is fully 2
per cent. higher than at the same date last
year.
THE MONEY SUPPLY.
1.-THE government reports make the de-
crease in the circulation of all kiRds Of money
in June less than $27, ,000, 900, but for the year
past the increase has been $40 900, ,000 For
the first time the public debt. less the cash
on hand, falls below 81 900, 900, 600, but ap-
preparations of Sl67,O00,0O0 for pensions
during the new fiscal year render it less
likely that the surplus will be Troublesome.
STOCKS STRONGER.
"The stock market has been stronger
with July disbursements, and the alliance
of the Atchison and Missouri Pacific has also
helped.

the week number for the United States 1S1,
and for Ca ada Is, as compared with 202

PRINTERS ON A STRIKE.
An Attempt 60 Force Two Offices into
the Union.

CHICAGO, July 5.-R. w. Donnelly Sc
Sons Lakeside Publishing Company is
working half-handed to-day on account Of
a strike of the typographical union printers
on information received from Now York.
Out of sixty-two men working yesterday
only thirty are still at the cases. All these
are non-union men. The strike is due to
trouble in the Trow Publishing Company's
Office at New York. The Trow company
publishes the New York city directory and
has always been q non-union office. When
the new directory manuscript was
hung on the hooks, about a month
ago, the printers, some of whom
were union men, concluded that the time
was ripe for changing the concern into a
card office, and they struck. The Trow
Company sent their work to Donnelly &
Co. in Chicago, and the latter's men struck
when they heard the reason for it. Mr..
Donnelly says ho can get plenty of men,
and will finish the work on hand. He took
the job because he supposed the Trow Com
pany were rushed.
