THE STATE CONVENTION. On the 18th of the present month an election will be held throughout the State for the election of members to make a new Constitution, to replace that which has been the source of so muuch disaster to our State. The election will undoubtedly be the most important, so far as our interests are concerned, of any that will take place for the next twenty years, and it is necessary that we should select proper representatives to advocate and maintain the views we entertain. It is more than probable that there will be a great diversity of opinion in many of the questions which will come before the Convention, and we fear from the tone of many of our exchanges that Conservatives will be at a heavy discount, and that many of the delegates to be elected will be influenced by extreme views on the subjects of finance and the State debt. Our taxes are heavy, too much so for an impoverished people to pay; yet we must recollect that there are two sides to every question, and in looking from our stand point and attempting to carry out our peculiar views on these subjects, we must also bear in mind that the holders of a portion of our bonds have a right which cannot be ignored.

At this time it is difficult for us to say which bonds are fraudulent and which are good, yet we know full well that the State has received but little benefit from those issued since the war, yet we have by the decrees of our Courts sanctioned the legality of a large amount of these bonds, and it will be difficult under these circumstances to cast off this responsibility. If the mon ey invested in bonds already passed on and approved by Courts be considered a vested right, the Constitution of the United States will come to the relief of these parties, so far as a final judgment is concerned. It is a matter of impossibility to force a State to pay a debt against the will of her representatives, yet this fact should make us more anxious to keep up our credit, and throw no obstacles in the way of our just debts. The general and certain knowledge that our State has been swindled to a large amount in the issue of bonds from which she has received little or no benefit is good and valid grounds for a compromise with her creditors-we know full well that the holders of these bonds bought them at very low rates, and the circumstances under which they were issued have never added to their value. We doubt not that a fair and satisfactory compromise can be effected by the Legislature, both as to the amount of the principal, and the annual interest-in a word, the State debt can and should be placed on such a basis us to enable us to pay the annual interest and provide a sinu iug fund for its final payment.

The State of North Carolina has recently made a compromise of her large debt, by which she has placed herself in a condition to maintain her creAlit in the future. To some persons with old fari. oned notions of honesty, the idea reducing a State debt by le.is'ative act may seem irregular; twi, would have been the general vpinion some years since, but Rwe live and learn, and there is no rt ason why in the, general shrinkage in the value of property throughout thecountry, the bondholders should not abate some of their pretentions and bear a portion of the general burden. Compromises are often made by individuals when their circumstances become straitenied, and the State is only an aggregation of individuals, so that, what is right and proper in one case, is certainly allowable in the other. This is a knotty question, and should be settled with an eye on the interests of both parties.

We should be just and not abuse the power which we shall be authorized to exercise, and the fact of possessing this power should put us on our guard against extreme measures. Senator Benuamin F. Jonas. The credentials of Hon. Benj.

F. Jonas elected United States Senator from Louisiana for a term of six years from March 4, were laid before the Senate day before yesterday by Vice Presi- I dent Wheeler. This event is one in which all the Jewish residents I of the West and South feel a just pride. Mr. Jonas was born in Williamstown Ky.

His father, Mr. Abraham Jonas, was Grand Master of the Masonic Order in that State and afterward moved to Quincy, where he became a bosom friend and staunch supparter of Abraham Lincoln. His influence as an elector at large for that State was of great service. Mr. Lincoln afterward made him postmaster of that city When quite young Senator Jonas went to New Orleans under the patronage of his uncle, where he began the study and afterward the practice of law.

In due time he married a young lady of great beauty, intelligence and actual worth. By assiduous attention to his profession, and by a natural adaption to it, he has since risen to the foremost rank among New Orleans lawyers. Strong in his convictions, he has always taken a prominent part in local and State politics. For a long time he was in partnership with ex-Governor Hyams, of Louisiana. During his political life he was city sollicitor for a number of years, and also represented the parish of Orleans in the State Legislature.

Senator Jonas is the first of the Jewish who adhering to his religion, has attained political eminence. It is. true that both Benjamin and Ynlee, who have occupied seats in the Senate, were born in the Hebrew faith, that they married out of the pale of their religion and did not in after years follow the teachings of their forefathers. Mr. onas, on the contrary, married a Jewess, and he is now a member of the congregation in New Orleans, ministered over by the Rev.

Jas K. Gutheim, himself a former resident of Cincinnati, attached to the congregation of the Rev. D. Wise. Mr.

and Mrs. Phineas T. Moses, of this city, sustain the relation of uncle and aunt to the Senator- Cincinnati Commercial. THE STATE OF LOUISIANA. In the Fifteenth Judicial District Court.
