THE CONVENTION.

The delegates to the Constitu-
tional convention should give up
the idea of making constitution,
they lack the ability, honesty or
pluck.
Can it be possible that a body
of men representing the entire
people of a great state cannot
frame constitution because
there are too many members rea-
dy to pass laws that are open and
calculated to fraud?
So monstrous have been the
sections that were submitted in
the suffrage bill by the committee
that nothing is left of if after the
honest element of the convention
got through kicking at it.
It is evident that there is a CO.
terie of politicians in the conven-
ton who are ready to disregard
their oath of office and resort to
anything that will perpetuate their
class in power, but thank the lord
there are some honest members in
the convention, and upon them
the people depend for protection
against such Infamous laws as the
understanding clause of South Ca
rolina as was proposed by some
Foster statesmen. If such law
is to be incorporated in the con-
stitution of the state it would be
simpler and less expensive to the
people, for the convention to sim
ply say Foster will appoint the
registrars and the registrars will
elect Foster, or do whatever he
tells them to do, and in this way
save the expense of elections.
The ring is evidently determin-
ed to engraft a clause in the con-
stitution that will allow fraud and
manipulation, which is the only
hope of the dishonest politicians
to remain in Office.
1t would not be difficult to frame
a suffrage clause if the idea was
to make an honest law, and our
idea would be to give the right of
suffrage to all citizens of the Uni
ted States who are twenty one
years of age, owning in their own
name property to the amount of
$500 or qualified by education,
with a poll tax, the receipt of
which should be exhibited before |
voting.
According to statistics very few
negroes would vote under this
law, as the number owning pro-
perty and qualified by education
is very small compared to the
whites, and in the future the right |
of voting would rest upon the peo-
pie themselves, because they
would be left to qualify them
selves or not, and they would have
no one to blame but their own
|aziness or ignorance.

The construction train to be here
last Monday to commence laying
the ties and rails on the
Arnaudville extension, was de-
layed until Monday next. The
grading is complete to Breaux
Bridge, and it will take about a
month or SO to complete the road
to that town; in a short time we
may expect the train to make re-
gular trips to Breaux Bridge.

COST OF RETURNING
 THE SPANlARDS.
A Spanish Company Given the Contract to Take the Prisoners Back to
 Their Native Land.

Washington, July 22. Final arrange ments for the transportation of the Span ish prisoners at Santiago from Cuba to Spain have been made. The contract was awarded to the Spanish Transatlan- tique company, represented by J. M. Ceballos & Go. of New York. The company agrees to carry the prisoners from Cuban ports to Spain at the rate of $90 for each enlisted man and $55 for for each commissioned officer, subsist- ence to be furnished by the company on the army ration basis as provided for in the governments advertisement for bids. The award provides also that the company shall have five ships at Santi- ago by July sl, two by Aug. and enough to complete the transportation of the prisoners by Aug II.
 On the basis of 24, 600 enlisted men and 1000 officers it will cost the govern ment $530, 900 to transport the prisoners. The ships will fly the colors of Spain md will be manned probably, entirely 1 iy Spanish crews.
 It was remarked as one of the curious ( developments of the war that the Unit C d States government should enter into friendly contract with a company, Il amy of whose vessels are auxiliaries to u le Spanish navy and some of which h. we been captured or destroyed by the nf wy of the United States
