Democratic Parish Conventlon-Third


Day.


The convention did not assemble until
near half-past twelve o'clock yesterday, and
then adjourned, it being understood that
the committee on credentials was not pre-.
pared to make a report. Rumor had it that
that committee had partly considered the
contest in the second ward, and had quite
completed the third ward, but nothing like
reliable statement was made public. All
the members of the committee and the wit
nesses, and all who are in attendance are
sworn to secrecy until the veil is lifted. The
intention is to keep the entire proceedings
strictly private until the committee shall
be able to make formal report to the con-
vention, but there are people who think
that the most important events will leak
out, despite the greatest vigilance.


An impression exists that the committee
on credentials will not finish its labors be-
fore the end of this week, and if such is
the case, or is not, our readers will probably
care but little. The usual number of
hangers on loitered around the State House
yesterday, and the casual observer was per-
fectly delighted in noticing how entirely
confused they we're by reason of a lack of
even remote rumors Of what was transpiring.


Late in the day it transpired that the
committee on credentials had agreed to re-
port in favor of granting the Wizard dele
CATION the third ward.

The Attack Upon School Girls.


EDITOR REPUBLICAN:


The Times. with q provoking satisfaction,
tells Of the shameful attack upon two inno-
cent little colored girls. sent without their
own fault by their parents to the Paulding
School There is surely NO chivalry in
white people looking quietly on, even with
brutal satisfaction, at the pelting with mud
and stones of little children, without any
one to prevent such an outrage. What is
most provoking to me personally in this
affair is, being Jew myself, to see that
three Jewish boys distinguished themselves
ty being the foremost in this naughty
affair. Surely most of the blame falls upon
their parents, who did not instruct their
children with the history of their own peo-
pie, and the moral commands of Moses; or
the children would know that their own an
ces:ors have been slaves in Egypt, and that
every IsraeIite has daily in all his prayers to
thank God that He brought him out of the
bondage of Egypt; further that according
to the Bible the Jews and negroes come
from the same ancestors, as Ham and
Japhet have been brothers.


am convinced that the same indignation
against the bad behavior of these three
Jewish boys animstes the hearts of all en-
lightened and righteous Israelites, and
should like to see that the Rabbi of the
different congregations of our city would
also publish their disapproval of this affair
and give warning to their coreligionists tt
prevent their children from committing
such acts of intolerance and persecution.

The Naturalization In the Sixth District


Court.


The report Of the case Of Antonio Zarico
before United States Commissioner South.
worth was not Intended to indicate that
naturalization in the Sixth District Court
was conducted in any irregular manner. 1t
was simply tho detail of the confession of
Zalico, who had falsely sworn he was
minor in 1862, when he was twenty seven
years Of age, and his excuse.


Judge Saucier has now presided with
ability over the Sixth District Court for
nearly four years. His reputation for con-
scientious labor, patience and integrity is
unexcelled. If possible, his proceedings in
the matter of naturalization are more strict
and careful than in any other cases. No
such looseness as Zarico describes could
have occurred before MIN or in the office of
Mr.. O'Brien. Before Zarico received his
certificate he was examined by the Judge in
open court and swore to the facts in his
case with full understanding of them.

The private market men have found
Judge Lynch inexorable, and yesterday he
pressed them into very small corner. Mr..
Barthe stated that he was in the habit Of
late of supplying customers by carrying
meat, on their order, to their houses; that
he purchased his supplies at the Magazine
Market, and sometimes carried them to his
house before distributing them.


Judge Lynch told him that this was .
violation of the injunction; that he would
be in contempt Of it if he did his business
in cart or even in basket No one could
sell any meat except the public market
men.

The chamber Of the House OF Representatives

Some people have wondered why our Henry

We are not insensible to the compll-

We do not concur in all the Bulletin says

Republican campaign funA will be large
ly reduced.


The campaign opens on the question
OF retrenohment and reform, and we
commend the attitude Of the Demo
cratic House and Of the Republican
President and Senate on this particular
matter to the country. We find the
House-the first Democratic House we
have had since 1861-making Q brave
8, nuggle to reduce the cost OF govern
lnent and save the people thirty nine
millions OF dollars; and we find the
Senate and President making o fierce
fight to defeat this movement OF the
House and keep up the old system OF
profiigacy and extravaganza.


The House should stand firm. 1t has
made a splendid record for the Demo
cratic party, and performed good deed
for the suffering country. The President
and Senate should be forced to concur
in this wise and healthful action OF the
House, and il they persist in defeating
it let the whole responsibility rest upon
them
Year: 1876

The President and the Senate are
making determined opposition to the
appropriation bill, passed by the Demo
cratic House. which reduces the appro-
priations something more than thirty
nine millions compared with those OF
the current fiscal year.


Every stratagem has been resorted to
by the President and Senate to force the
House to recede from its position. The
President has sent message on the
subject, and Mr.. Kasson, Of Iowa, an
Administration member of the House,
speaking, doubtlessly with authority,
has declared that If the diplomatic
bill Is not passed by the first Of
July the Secretary Of State will tele-
graph to every foreign minister and
consul that their drafts against the
Government will be protested after
that date. The House proposes TO re-
duce the appropriations for the Consul
lar and Diplomatic service only $42S,-
137 so, but the Administration is deter
mined that this shall not be done, and
has attempted to intimidate the House
be- the threat made through Mr.. Kas-
son.


We trust that the House will firmly
stand by It's thirty millions reduc-
tion. The country needs more economy
and vigor in the Government, and ifthe
Senate and President insist upon having
their way or defeating the appropriation
bill, the responsibility will be theirs.


This matter shows very clearly that
the Republican party is bent upon re-
sisting all reform and retrenchment in
the Government. The retainers and
henchmen OF the Administration must
be provided for, and to do this the people
must be taxed. The trade and indus
tries OF the country may suffer, but the
Babcocks, the Boss Shepherds, the
Grants, and all the vast army Of Office
holders must have money, and therefore.
the Republican President and Senate
are determined that the thirty-nine
millions the House proposes to save the
people shall not escape the clutches OF
the party. The Presidential canvass,
too. Is on hand, and there must be mil
lions spent to carry the election for
Hayes; and il the appropriation bill Is

SOME DIssATIsFACTION.-The Democratic
county ticket for this county is not salts
factory to a majority of the party in this
section, SO far as we can learn. We do not
mean to convey the idea that there is any
thing like open rupture in the wind; there
is not. But still there is a quiet-quiet so
far-under current of displeasure with the
Legislative branch of the ticket that crops
out now and then among the faithful.


The main discomfort is with the Senate
rial candidate, J. Frank Denney. He is a
young farmer living ain the Neck" and
has had no experience as a legislator. lie
was nominated over Capt. Mustard, of this
town, who has served two terms in the
| Senate, and is a thoroughly practical man,
i ripe in such experience as only age and
clear judgment can give. Mr.. Denney, as
Levy Courtman, was efficient and rem.
dered acceptable service, but in business
way he is rarely thrown with representa-
tive men, and his youth necessarily keeps
| from his possession that experience that
| It takes years give. He was nominated
by one of the county delegates, but ever!
one of the Duck Creek delegation, saw
this one, voted for Capt. Mustard. Inas
much as the Senator was conceded to Ducl
Creek, it seems strange that its delegatio
was not allowed to name the candidate
Some Of the old wheel horses in the part
think that the delegation were a little lam
at this point. The delegates from th
lower part of the county carried the nom
nation of Mr.. Denney, with view
results in the U. S. Senatorial election

told. .. tI..


As a result Of this unexpected nomin
