CINCINNATI, Sept. 19.-The CONNER

There seems to be no doubt about
Colonel Breckenridge making a fight
for the nomination before the district
committee. Breckenridge has made
public a. statement in which he says he
secured a majority of the legal Demo-
cratic votes of the district and fraud
was practiced against him in several
counties. The following is Breckin-
ridges statement:

who Ia the nominee, and until that
declaration is made no one is the NOM

Our state Constitution.
cThe Norfolk LedgerD


Several Of our State papers have re-
Gently urged Governor O'Ferrall to cali
an extra session Of the Legislature next
IAN or winter for the purpose OF taking
the preliminary steps toward holding Il
state convention TO alter the present Con-
stitution. but in view OF the fact that the
members Of the General Assembly at the
session last winter expressed themselves
I'm opposition TO convention, and that
nothing has since occurred 10 induce tle
belief that they have changed their minds
on the subject. We do not think That an
extra session for the purpose named.
would be productive Of results at TINS
time.
There IS a growing sentiment throughout
| the State that constitution more In con-
sonance with the needs of our people
should be- substituted Tor that framed
by Underwood, Bayne. Hodges. and
others, and while this sentiment may
not be strong enough at this time 10
effect a change, il Is more than probable
| that such arguments as were used last
winter hy Delegate Withers will be pro-
| ductive in the near future Of an emphatic
demand on tn part OF the masses for a
constitution suited 10 the wants Of our
people.
In the mean time the facts and figures
adduced by Mr.. Withers in support OF
! his proposition should be spread broad
east throughout the Commonwealth.

One Man in Charge of Four Forts.

At Charleston Is. c., according 10 the
News and Courier there Is presented the
singular spectacle OF four forts. all his
tor1c. all famous. all important for the
defence of the country In time Of need,
all under government control, two of
them armed. and one man 20 garrison the
lot, though miles apart from each other!
cit IS a dismal showing for cur system Of
coast defences,' adds the News ana
Courier, "and very remarkable cne
really for a government that has spent so
much money and Is spending so much to
build "A navy at the same time, and that
maintains garrisons year in and year out
In far inland towns
Yes. the government ought to do better
for Charleston than it IL now doing. Its
present course towards that gallant city
looks as if IT were the result of spite
growing out OF the war.
The Charlestonians have inauguratcd a
movement to ask the government 10 gar
rison Fort Moultrie with at least one
company, and we wish them all success
in their undertaking.

Helm from Afar,

The Santa Clara, of San Jose, Cal. has
come up to the help of the Dispatch in
its effort TO convince the public that
churches ought not to be taxed. That
monthly copies the whole Of one Of our
articles on this subject, and says that
"the good. sound sense of the argument
Will recommend il TO every fair-minded
person" The Santa Clara then epitom-
ICES it's own argument as follows:
Churches have no selling value, yield
no income, are constant tax to the
publc-spirited people who build them
and are for the use Of the entire commu-
nity. 1t IL a niggardly and small-souled
community indeed that would not eX-
empt church property from taxation, as
being outside the pale of what the spirit
of Americanism designs TO be revenue
producing sources. If a community isn't
publc-spirited enough 10 run its govern
ment without drawing on its churches
for taxes il ought to farm out the va
cant plots in the cemeteries and rent its
court house lawn to the county officials
for "A COW pasture"

Governors Dissent from DR.. Cave

The st. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat criti-
cises DR.. Cave severely for his speech
at the unveiling here, but it does not
believe that he speaks for the South,
and it quotes replies from several south
ern Governors TO it's telegraphic question.
The Governors Of Florida. South Carolina,
Tennessee. Louisiana, Alabama. Arkan-
sas Mississippi and Georgia all regard
the speech as unfortunate.
SO says the Atlanta Constitution. We
failed to see the paper in which these
kilograms were published.
AS we have hitherto remarked. DR..
Cave told the truth in his address here
but more polite man would have d.
Iuted IT, or sugar-coated ii with fine
fraternal phrases and grand panegyrics
about the old flag. &c. &c. The Doctor,
however. is not a man TO mince mat
ters; nor are our people disposed To Join
in the clamor against him, especially az
he Is made the target for many arrows
which are really meant for all eX-"rebels."

We are in favor. and have been for

a mistake for the last session Of the Legis
ature not TO take the preliminary steps
to that end. hut We are not i'm favor OF
an extraordinary session Of the General
Assembly for thai purpose, because we do
not believe the exigency requires II, nor
that public opinion would justify the call

purpose any more than it would for the
purpose Of tinkeripg with the election

should decide the work Of the last Legis-
lature 10 be unconstitutional We can
very easily await another regular session
With the peculiar experience Of the coun-
