' The Chicano Tiibne, Saturday Morning, August 30, 1873, NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS, Tho presauro npon our columng on Sunday morning 18 80 great that we aro compolled to roquest advertisors tosend fn thelr advortisements for that lssuo at s early anhour aa posaible, in order that they may with cortainty seouro the proper classification, The Khivana took advantage af the absonce of Gen. Knufmen a short time ago to get up an in- purrection. It was easily quolled by the Rus- eian troops, who, in retaliation, destroyed the town of Khivs, the Capital of the Khanato. Bix handred of tho ringleaders of tho movement hinve been fined hoavil The Carlists and Communists in Bpain are making common canse with each other. All tho Carlists imprisoned ot Cartagena by the Ropub- licans when thoy had possession of the town ‘havo beon liborated by tho insurgents, and the Corlists aro roleasing all tho Communiat prison- ors thoy coma across, and aro recruiting thelir ranks with Communist refugeos. Mr, Huniington scems to bo upheld by tho peoplo of Cauada in his refusal to appear before tho Royal Commission. Popular meotings are being hold in evory direction to strengthion Lia hauds, Two such meetings are reported this morning,—ono at Loudon and audther at Nor- folk,—both of them addrossed by eminont mom- Dbors of the Opposition. [ — ‘The report of the Commission which invosti~ gated the Wawassot disastor hus beon submitted to tho suthorities of tho Treasury Dopartmont for approval. Its findings are not authoritative- 1y known, but it is belioved that the extent of the ponaltios recommonded aro the rovocation of tho liconse of the engincer and sentences of censure upon tho other officers. Another murderor,—the first who has followed Driver to the gallows,—waa hangad in this State yostorday. The men who was oxecuted at Cairo yostorday was a nogro, who killed the mato of o rivor boat, last April, with whom lo hed somo difficulty. Mo waa obdurate to tho last, ropel- ling oll nttempts at coneolation and all religious offices, and died protosting that ho was hanged unjustly, If President MacMahou could trust his sub- Jocts to meot in public for any purposo, it would be, one would suppose, to colebrate the anniversary of the Republio, of which ho ia the liond. But his Minister of tho Interior has is- sued an order prohibiting any public celebration of this occasion, which occurs Sopt. 4. It is but n short timo sinco the Govornment forbado tho inhabitants of the provinces ovacuated by tho CQormang to indulge in any public rojoicings over that welcoma evont. Railronds are not the only corporations the nesessment of whoso property will give the Btato Board of Equalization some trouble. In the roturns made to tho Board from Cook County they find that no sccount is taken of tho capital stock of any of the corporations in the county. Not moro than one-fourth of tho countica of tho Btato have mnde any assessmont of such proporty, and even in those that have done so it is said that the sssessment by no means covers all the stock. ———ree Thoro is no doubt that s trafio has long been earriod on in the bodies of the unclnimed dead of the Philadelphia Morgue, This fact was brought to light by tho discovery in tho dissoct- ing-room of a modical college of the body of a wealthy Pennsylvania farmer who bad been drowned in the Schuylkill River, and sent to the Morgue. At the judiclal investigation now in progress, it was shown yeaterday that tho Coro- ner wag in the habit of solling the bodies in- trusted to him for burinl, Dr. Hodges, of tho MMedical Collogo, testified that ho was in the habit of buying theso unclaimod corpaes, and could seo nothing reprohounsible in so doing. Nothing yot made known showa that the anthori- tics of tho Morgue are implicated in this ghastly trade. Thero {s cause for congratulation that there Is to bo a thorough tost of the new * fireloss loco- motive," alroady described in Tpe Trmuxe. Its eppliention to the Hydoe Dark strest- cars, ieretofore run by dummy engines, will af- ford an opportunity to judge whothor tho new machine, which Is propelled by stoam furnished at the end of the route, will answor the do- mands of rogular streot-travel ss well as tho trinl-trip prowised. If this shall prove to be tho caso, & vory important stop will have been mnda toward the application of stoam toall streot- card, The necossitfos of Intramuval travel do- mand some Improvement on the prosent aystem of horse-cars and stages, Stoam, of course, Ia the most desirable propolling power, if it eanbe usod insuch & manner as to provout the fright- onlng of horees, disponse with tho noiso and smoke, and occupy so littlo room that its ma~ chinery can be mado part of a streot-oar of or- dinary dimonsions. All this the * firoless loco- motive" promiges to do, Its rogular use on the Hyde Park oars outsido tho oity limits, will fur- nish an opportunity tor practical improvements which may atill bottor ndapt the nmch‘luu to ugo fn moro crowded thoroughfares, ¥ e e The oxpodition of Sir Bamuel Bakor, about which s0 much has been snid and writton, during the past throe years, turns out to o n failuro 10 evory respect. It in stated thnt ho has returned to his starting-point aftor a loss of throc-fourths of lis soldiors, furnisbod by tho Khodive of Egypt, and the wastivg of an immenso amount of money, Tho abjects of his oxpedition wore the abolition of slavery in tho provinces lylng botwoen Gondokoro and the Lnakes Albort and Victoria Nyanzs, and tho soltling of cortain goographical questions conuected with thoso lakes, to facilitate which, ho was furnished with throo iron stonmers built in scctions, It is now aflirmed that ho hos lost his stosmors, eottled no geograplifeal quostions, and, instend of abolish-~ ing slavery, thnt Lo undortook to onslave na- tives who rofused to help him ecarry his heavy froight, —_— Tho publio havo alrendy noticed Judge Holt's card sotting forth that ho bad roturned a full record of the procecdings of tho court-martial which condemned Mrs, Burratt to bo hangod, In- cluding s rocommendation for her pardon signed by five mombors of the Court. Tho Washington corrospondont of the Loulsville Courier-Joure nal now makos tho statoment that ox-Prosidont Jolngon, when last in Washington, told him that this recommondation was not in its propor and usual placo, and that, it Lo had soen it, ho would probably have commuted Mrs, Surratt's eentenco. Tho discussion is not likely to knve any boneficial rosult. Thoso who lave taken 8ides in tho mattor of Mrs. Surratt's death will bardly chango their minds, and tho listory of tho cnso, along with that of ali othor incidents growing out of the war, will lave to bo written aboIntor day. Ono thing s pretty cortain, It President Johnson Lad commuted tho sontence againat Mrs, Surratt, sho would have been par- doned boforo this time. . The Now York Sun Lins brought Mr, Orville L. Grant to the surfaco agein, Ho hias not been bonrd of since the publication of a lotter Lo wrote to his Prosidont-brother, rogulating somo revenuo appointmonts in this Stato. It sccms, from tho statement in tho Sun, that he dissolved Lhis businoss partnership in this city about tho timo that his businoss partnor vacated the office of Collecior of Customs. Ho then moved to Bt. Louis, where o Custom-Houso is to bo built, The contract for furnishing tho atono, amounting to £800,000, has bocn awarded to Mossrs, Snyder & DBrown, Mr, Walsh, tho local architect, is represonted to bo n friend of Mr. Orvillo Grant. Tho Sun now chargos that Mr, Orville L. Grant hes socured from the contractors an appointment as * their clerk, at a salary of §5,000 o year, in addition to which My, Grant is slso to receive o commisuion of 10 per cont on the amonnt of their contrnct,— thatis toeay, around sum of $50,000 over and abovo his salary,” Five women were killed and twonty persons wounded on tho Dotroit & Milwaukeo Raflrond,and sevoral porsons badly, somo of them porhaps fa- tally, hurt on the Mudson Rivor Railroad yoster- day. Theso two casualties wore both tail collis- ions, and tho causes of both were idenlical, In oach caso & train stopped on the main track, and the conductor neglected to take tho esson- tinl precaution of sending o flagman to tho rear, Buch conduct oy this ronders it impoasible to call cither occurrenco an accidont, and 1t does not Inck ovon tho element of criminal intent to justify ono in calling it murdorous, for overy man is logally and rationally held to in- tond the natural consequences of his actions. For tho conductor of an expross train to stop on the track, nas in the cago on tho Hudson River Railrond, when ho Iknow that n second oxpress train ‘but twenty minutes bebind was rushing towards him at full apoed, and yot negloct to flag it, is conduct fully as criminal as that which has ox- cited such indignation sgainst Conductor Beane. The Chicago produco markets woro activo yos— torday, excopt in provisions, nnd grain was stronger, Meoa pork was dull and 10@200 lower, at $15.75@16.00 cash and soller Soplom- bor.

Rye was nctivo, and 2 higher, closing at 700, Barley was moro active, snd about 1o lower, at §1.08@1.10 Hogs wero activo and steady at £4.20@4.75. The cattlo trado showod some improvement in polnt of ac- tivity, but prices remain woak and unsottled, with enlos at 81.76@6.1234. Shoop wore firm at $3,00@4.50. The account publis] y Tae TrRinoNE of tho 22d inst.,, of an attompt by n band of Missouri ‘bushwhackers to rob a passonger train on the Missouri Pacific Road, is donled by the obicers of tho Company. Tae Trinuse dorived {ts in- formation from tho pnssenger named in tho dis- pateh, Mr, Warren Timmons, a wholeselo mor~ chant of Lawrence, Kan,, who was on the train at the timo when it was bosrded by the robbers, Mr., Timmons did not see tho obutructions on the tractt, but, when tho train stopped, henrd tho cry passed through the cars that tho track wad blocked. e is authority for tho statement that tho conductor declared at the time that his train had beon boarded in o slmilar way throo or four times previously, Peoplo in Lawrenco who know Mr. Timmons, wo oro nssur- od by our correspondont, beliove his story, and boliove that the Company wish to hush the mat- ter up for foar of ita oifect on tholr bunincss, It might naturally enough be supposed that so im- portant a pieco of nows would reach the public through moro than a single channol, but its fallure to do ko may bo accounted for by tho fack that tho travol by this train was mostly local, o — Wigconsin bag an unusually clear record on tho ealary-grab, All tho mombers of the Ifouse from that Btato, excopt one (1ldridge), aro ro- portod a8 having roturned their back-pay. Tho two Wigconsin Bonators, however (Carponter and Howe), aro both salary-grabbers, and tho former a notablo defender of tho grab. Itis worthy of notice that nelthor of these gentlomen put in an appearauce at the Btate Convontion bold in Madison on Weduesday, though the oceaslon was one when the two Benators, both aotive political loaders, would maturally be ex- RDAY, AUGUST 30, d : 1873, peotod to be progent, Perhapn thoy folt, by in-~ tultion, n diend of boing (roated g Mr. R, Milton Spear, o sulary-grabbing membor of the last Congress, was trented in the Ponnsylvanin Domooratie Convenlion the samo dny.

Mosora, Cnrponter and owo woro wiso onough not to put in an appearanco at Madison. Iad thoy dono 8o thoy would not have escapod tho rebuke thoy so richly desorvo. As it was, tho question of Mr, Carpontor's successor was dlg- cunged, a8 though it was dofinitoly sottlod that ho could not bo his own muccossor. e THE CORN-OROP, Wo yostordny publishod a sorios of raports from somo sixty pointsin the corn-producing portions of this Btate and of Towa. Tho goneral import of thom was that tho ares of corn plant~ od wasless this yoar than last yonr, nnd that, owing to the lnto planting and tho drought, tho ylold does not promiso moro than lalf or two- thirds tho averago yiold por acre. Tho impor- tanco of tho corn crop to tho poople of this Btato may bo ostimated whon it is known that moro than half tho ncroage under cultivation in this Stato is in corn. The consua roport of 1870 givos as tho yiold of corn for tho yonr proceding (1869) tho sum of 129,021,805 bushels, and of wheat, 10,188,207 of spring and 19,995,198 of win- tor,oran aggregato of 80,128,405 buehels wheat. By referonco to tha roparts of the Stalo Auditor, wo fiud that in thot year tho acreage {n oultivation wag: Whent, 2,680,214; corn, 5,103,747; and othor flold products, 1,620,538, Tho averngo yleld of corn per acre in 1809 was n fraction ovor 25 bushels, and of theat a fraction short of 13 bushels, Two years luter, in 1871, tho acreagoe dovoted to lheso two crops, wheat and corn, stood thus: Whoat, 2,004,303; corn, 6,923,070 ocres, with an fncreaso of tho area in other field crops to 2,470,049 neres. In tho interval, 535,000 acrog had been taken out of wheat, and 1,750,000 additional acres put in corn. In 1872, theso areas wero still furthor increased, and tho ro- turns for 1873 show tho following rosult: Whoat, 3,093,308 acrcs; corn, 7,037,040; onts, 1,819,463 ; bay, 2,178,237; pasturo, 8,807,062; orchard, 820,702; othor flold products, 866,60, It will bo scon, ihoroforo, that, notwithstanding tho grodt increnso in tho acroago undor cultivation, tho number of acres in corn tlis your is but slightly in- creaged over that of 1871, and is kuown to be less than that of 1872, ‘Tho acreago in whoat, which had fallon in 1871 to 2,000,000 neros, has incroased to 8,000,000, while tho acrongo in onts exceods tho whole aren devoted to nll-othor fleld produets in 1871, Tstitoting tho corn orop of 1873 at the aver- ngo of 25 bushols to the ncro, as in 1871, tho yield would bo over 177,000,000 bushols. But, whilo corn is produced in overy county in this Btato, and produced largoly, tho product for ox- portation is grown in about 80 countics, In the other 72 counties, the surplus, if any, is com- paratively small, while in many there is a dofi- cloney; but in theeo 80 countics is pro- duced the corn which Illinois bus to ox- port. While the unfavorable nspect of tho corn crop i8 general, it is more eapecially so in thoso counties whera comn is the main product, Any eorious loay in tho corn crop in thoso coun~ tics notZonly affects the general product of tho Btato, but would leave theso localitios without o fair romunoration for their yoar's labor, were It 1ot for the fact that a short crop is usually ac- compnuied by an ndvance in price. A fow ox- amples will show how a failure of tho corn erop would affect the corn-growing system but for this compensating advantage. In 1871, the num- ber of acres in corn, whoat, and othor crops was . s follows iu the countios named : Counties, In Mnson, Fulton, aud Knox Counties, 66,948 acres wero in wheat, 848,134 in corn; in Peoria, Stark, Marsholl, and Patusm, 29,220 in wheat, ond 200,787 in corn; in Woodford, Livingston, and LaSallo, 25,431 in wheat, and 641,694 in corn, How far the deflclency will affect prices is n mattor to be detormined by tho nctual harvest, which is yot to bo ascertained. In Tows, from which Stato there is a large export of corn, the growing crop las the same goneral indicationa 08 iu Tllinois, ————— THE COAL-MOROPOLY, The Philadelphia Press, which I8 a resolute champion of tho proteciive monopoly in overy form, has been compolled at Inst to denounco the ‘“combination of monopoliea engagod in the mining and traceportation of anthracito conl.” That papor declares that gradually a fow giant corporations have been buying up tho collieries and conl lands until at last thoy control the wholo business, Thore are numerous small col- liories ownod by individuals or firms, but those aro compelled to soll thoir coal to tho fow larger corporations, which own all the means of trans- portation, and thus coutrol the pricos at the mines nud ot the market. Publio feoling in times past has beon oxcited agninat the miners and workmon for obstructing productlon, by strikes and othor proceedings, and hes rejoiced that tho minivg companies were ablo to ovorcome tho minors, but the victory of the lattor has boon at tho publlo exponse; undor tho protext of do- fonding thomsolves from the workmen, they have soizod tho wholo arcu of anthracito coal, nnd ovory route by which tho coal can bo moved from tho minos. Tho practico has been to havo monthly sales Ly way of fixing the prives, but theso salos, and especinlly the ono at the begin- ning of August, sro roprosented by the Press as froudulent. When tho blg corporations dusiro to dopress the prico 80 ns to koop tho #uallor oporator from mining, and compol tho Inttor to mell or loaso thelr colliorios, tho loty wold at nuction are disposcd of at oxceedingly low prices, and aro bought by tho agonts of the mammoth corporations, Consumors nover gob tho bonolit of tho seomingly low pricos, Having, by theso and all othor moenus, got n practical monopoly, the combination this year has steadily advancod tho pricos far hoyond thoso of last year. This advanco Lad by tho firet of Auguut ronchod ©1.41 por ton, on an avorage monthly production of two millions por month, At lnst yonr's prices theso companios mado largo profita; -ono company—n woak one—whioh has ouly forty~ vovou milos of railway worked by ufationary enginos to oporate, and which only produces 1,200,000 tons n yoar, divided on last yom's prices 20 por cont on £4,000,000 of capital, and poid tho Interest on §1,000,000 of dobt. Anothor company paid a dividend of 10 per cont on $16,000,000 of eapital aud intorest on $18,000,000 of dobt, The Dolaware, Lackawanna & Wostorn Tallrond paid a dividend of 10 por cent on £20,000,000 of cenpitnl, and interest on 89,000,000 of debt ; whilo the Randing Rallway paid 10 per cont on €84,000,000 of capital and interest on $20,000,000 of dobt. The eapital stock on which theso dlvidends wore paid aggrogatos $74,000,000 of which one-half roprosonts * water,” issuod na oxira dividonds. If theso and tho othor com- bined mining and transportation companios could moko At Inst yosr's pricos theso cnormous dividonds, tho advancoin the prico of conl of 91,40 to $1.80 por ton ovor last yonr's rates, with no incronse in the cost of production, can only bo charactorizod as robbery, Tho Press adviscs, as tho best means to bronk down this monopoly in anthracite, tho moro gonoral weo of bituminous. In 1873, tho pro- duotion of coal in the United Statos was 41,000,~ 000 tons, of which 22,000,000 tons were anthra~ cito and 19,000,000 bituminous, Tho wholo aren of tho anthracito ‘conl doposit i comprised, within threo countios In Enstorn Pennsylvanin, and doos not extond over 480 equare miles, whilo bituminous coal is to be found in largo quantitics in all parts of the country. Porhaps the advico of tho Press to use bituminous coal instond of anthraclto would bomoro offectivo at tho Enat it tho duty of 50 conts porton on bituminous conl was ropealod. If that tax, which produces little or no revenuoe, were ropoaled, it would.onable bituminons coal to compete with tho anthracite, and by the reduction in its prico oporato as a check on the prico of anthracite, But the ropenl of that tax would bo resonted by tho Press as o blowav the rights and liber- ties of Ponnaylvanis. Nevortholess, the cosl monopoly has beon fosterad and built up under tho protection of that tax, which until last year was $1.25 por ton in gold. THE BUTLER CAMPAIGN. Although the opposition to Gew. Butler in Mnssachusotts is based upon his bad reputation 8 a blackguard, rufilan, and brute, it appears to bo concodod that thero is no way of defealing him oxcept by depriving him of tho Ropublican nomination. It scoms mover to have occurrod to his opponents that, it he is ns black as they say, ho ought to bo dofeated just as much after ho rocelves & Republicon nomination s be- foro. But thoy will mot bolt. One remson why thoy will not is that the Nationsl Ad- ministration is giving Butlor its effectivo support. Harper's Weekly hns taken its cda, and comes out this week with o full-page wood-cut, reprosenting tho gallant Butler, attired in o Major-General's uniform, and with, folded arma and marlial air, standing on a raised platform, with a columu at hia side, facing n scowling mob bolosw, which looks a8 though it had beon ropro- duced from & picturo illusirating tho Now York riots, This work of artis accompanicd Ly the words: “‘Doyouscemo?' Gen. Butler dofy- ing tho Rebols at Now Orleans.” If thiuis remark- abla for anything bosidos its disgusting sorvil- ity, it is becaune it showa that the varty man- agers boliove that Butlor must bo sustained in Massachnsotts. This much is likowiso indicated Ly tho confident fone which Butlor Las assumod in his atump-spoeches. Bennwhile, Mossrs. Hoar, Dawes, Claflin, and othors havo issucd thelr long-promised address, calling upon tho Republicans of Massachusotta to rally nganinst Butlor, It was neithor so olabo- rato mor so pugnacious as it was expected to bo; bub this is probably becauso Mr. Honr's porgonnl lotter wes sssumed tohave furnished enough aspority for tho time, T'ho nddress sete forth that it has boen tho cus- tom of Massachusotts to retain ab least threo yonrs a Governor choaen by the Republican party. This wos done in tho cases of Banks, Androw, Bullock, and Olaflin, The precedent is urged a8 o reason why Mr. Washburn, who has boon Governor only two years, should bo re- olected. The address then procaeds to describo tho characteristics of MMr. Washburn, which are undoubtedly the very antipodes of Batler's charactoristics. For Instance, it is said that Mr. Washburn will not use the proroge- tivos of Lus high offico to bribo men to servo his porgonal ambitions, which evidently means that Butler will. Mr. Washburn will not use influ~ enco or power to gratify Lis hatreds or rovengos, which means that Butlor will. Mr. Washburn will not spoud his timo plotting for hia own ad- vancomont, which moans that Butlor will. AMr, ‘Washburn will not bo fonnd enriching himself by moans of his omployment in the publio sors vice, which means that Butler will. And much moro antediluvian nonseneo which is firmly bo- lioved by the writars down to tho day of the Con. vontion, but nover after, It ischarged that Butlor is trying to found o porsonal party upon con- tracts, jobs, snd tho bostowsl or promiso of offico, This, aleo, I8 trno, ns Mr. Brooko enid, “Up to & cortain point,"—tho point being tho ndjournment of the Worcester Convention. Aftor that, it will be falso it Butlor is nominnted, ‘he rosult, whatovor it may be, will havo somothing of & nntional interest; for tho nomination of Gon. Butler, aftor all that has "been dono to provent it, aud when his personal charaoter is mado tho issno, will show that the cnucns rulos tho Stato of Massachusotts just as easily an Ponnsyivanin, EMILI0 OASTELAR, Tho friends of thoe Bpanish Republic for the flrut timo have solid grounds for encouragemont in tho clection of Emilio Gastelar to tho Prosl-’] doncy of tho Cortes, by the very substantial voto of 184 to 73, If it were o corfaluty that tho Cortes would adopt and the peoplo sanation his polioy, tho 8panish Republic might yot bo an ac- complished faot, and rest upon a more solid bnsls oven than that of France, Tho record of tho Ropublie, howovor, and the history of every poiitical strugglo in that ill-starred country couvoy no assuranco that the Spanish poople will adopt his polioy, er that thoy will not undo all tho good thoy have dono in Lis eloction nt tho very first opportunity. .

In 18066, ho took a lond- ing part in tho rovolution ot Madrid, which was supprossed by Sorrano, and was condemnod to death, but ho succeaded in eseap- Ing, and sought refuge firat in Gonova, whoro ho dovoted bis time to studying tho Bwiss Ropublio, and nfterwards in Franco. In tho rovolution of 1808, ho reappoared in SBpain and was ono of the most onergotio londors of tho Ropublican movement, Io laborod hardtio cstablieh tho Republio, but, at tho genoral election for the Conatltuent Cortos, in Fobruary, 1869, although ho was oleoted, ho found but very fow Re- .publicans nssociated with him in that body. In the disoussions of that yoar, with roference to tho new Bpanish Constitution, Castelar advocated tho Republio with great abil- ity and oloquonco, but he was unsuccosaful, In Juno, 1809, ho vigoroualy opposed tho proposed Tegoney, and, in tho following October, Lio was engaged ia the Ropublican insurrcctions, Aftor tho abdication of Amadous and tho ostablish- mont-of the Republio, he labored zealously to placo tho Republic wupon a fm bosls, and he has g0 far improssed himself, if not his convictions, upon the poople of Bpain, as to soouro his oloc- tlon oa Presidont of tho Cortos. Like M. Thiors, the ox-Prealdont of the French Republio, ho is o man of great literary and intellectusl ability. For o timo ho was Profossor of History and Phi- losopby in tho University of Madrid. He hos writton gevoral works on political and phitosophi- eal subjects, showing very accurate and scholarly research in English and German philosophy, a8 well as in gonoral his- tory. Ho is bost known to tho goen- oral publio, however, by his brilliant contri- butions to the liberal journals of Europe, and to somo of the lending papers of this country also, in which ho has not only drawn some very graphic piotures of the condition of things in Bpain, but has discussed Ropublicaniem in its various bearings with consummato ability. His idea of the Ropublic is crystallized in the new Oonatitution which was rocently adopted by tho Iborinn Osntons—an instrumont which is clearly modeled upon our own Constitution and Declaration of Indepondence. It declares tho inhorent rights of man, provides trisl by jury, freedom of worship and education, the completo soparation of Church and Stato, the abolition of titles, domiciliary rights, ond tho clection of & President and other offlcials, according to tho Amorican system, Horo, then, is o man at the hond of tho Cortes who has made Ropublicanism the study of his Itfo and has drafted a conatitu- tion which contains the very essenco of Republicantsm, Whether it will be of nny advantage to Spain depends upon tho ability of Castelar aud his frionda to unito tho various Tepublican factions and suppross tho Com- munists. If bo ean accomplish this, short work will bo made of Carlism, which {s now living upon the fouds in the Republican ranks. Pros- peets, however, are not vory favorablo to such a result. r——— Senator Morton, in his, speech ot Athens, O., gave his hoarers tho niost comforting assurances of the political condition of Louigians. IIe ree- ognized the Kollogg Government in that State 28 *“valid aud logal,” becauso, as ho stated it, this Governmont had beon recognized by tho Progident of the United States, by the United Btatos Court, and by tho Supremo Cowrt of tho Btato. Ho sald, morcover, that tho vaat majority of tho citizens of Louisiana givo tho Kellogg Government thoir sympatly and support, and that the McEnory Govorn- ment was o “ criminsl protension,” set up by forco and without warrant in tho suffrages of tho people. These assortions would be sufficiently remarkable if Benator Morton had nover expross- od any other sontiments about the Louisiana controvorsy ; but, in viow of tho position which hio took In tho Senato during the investigation, it must bo concluded that Mr. Morton ndapts Lis uttorances to tho political exigoncies of tho occasion that calls thom out. To show this, the londing foatures of the Loulsinna investigation in tho Benato may bo briefly recapitulated. The investigation was placed in tho hands of the Committeo on Privileges and Eloctions, con- sisting of soven Ropublican Senators, with Mr. Morton ag Chairman, The investigation was very thorough, and tho result was tho reporting of tho following resolution : Resolved, That thoro is no Stato Government at prese ent oxisting in tho State of Loulsiana, If wo should go no further, this park of the roport wonld bo suflicient to show the judgmont of his Republican colloagues upon that Commit- tee. Thot tho Bouate took no definito action in regard to Louisinna affairs waa the result of o political combination in tho Intorests of tho Administration, not beeause the majority of the mombers doubt- od tho conclusion which the Committee had roached aftor & long and laborlous investigation, Mr, Morton now gives, 88 one reason of the va~ ldity of thoKellogg Governmont, that it was rec- ognized by tho United States Court. Concern- ing this featuro of the Louisiana complioation, tho Committoo adjudged tho matter wholly be- yond tho jurisdiction of the United Btates Court, and came to the conclusion thatthe McEnary Gov- omment would bave been the de facto Government it Judgo Durell had not usurped powora not ba- longing to him, and had not ordored the -intor- position of tho United Btates troops, Benator Morton himself enid: *‘Tho conduct of Judga Duroll, sittingin tho Circuit Court of the United States, cannot bo justified or dofonded; ho groasly exconded Lhis jurisdiction, aud sssumed tho oxeralse of powors to which he could Iay no olaim,” Yot Judge Durell's action Mr, Morton now cites as one of tho reasons why tho Kollogg Govornment is 'valid sud logal.” Another reason which ho gives is, that tho Prosldont of the United States hins froquent~ Iy rocognized tho Kellogg Govornment, But ho sooms to forgot that tho Prosident’s recoguition and support wora baged directly upon the doc- wino that it wao his duty to sustain the deolsion ot the Fedoral Court, 1If, thon, as Sonutor Mor- ton eald,. *“Judgo Duroll grossly oxcoedod his Jurisdiction," ho can scarcely rofor to tho Presi- dont's pupport of this oxtra-judicinl action s o ground for rocognizing tho validity and legality of tho Kellogg Govornment, Tho third remson which Mr, Morton gives is that the Buproma Oourt of Loulstana birs rocognized the Kollogg Govorpmont, Thore were just two dooisions of tho Bupreme Court of tho State which camo bo- fore tho Bonato Committee, In one, that of tho Htato vs, Wharton, it was found that the Bu~ prome Oourt had no testimony bofore it showlng Topublicaniym. It hes boen the dream of hia life to ostablich 6 Republio in Bpain, aud thore 18 no man in that country who hag suok a correol the charactor of tho procecdings by the Lynch ‘Roturning Board, and the Committao, after oxsmining thoso proccedinge, decided thay mo Court could hold the canvags by tho Board o bo valid, In tho other cago, that of Morgan v, Kon- nard, tho Conrt moroly passed upon tho queation whather Morgan or Kennard waa ontitled to the office of Assoclnto Justico of tho Snpromo Court, in tho placo of Iowe, who had resigaed 5 and the Court did ot pass on the oontrovorsy ho- tweon Warmoth and Pinchback, or MoEnery and Kollogg, or tho two or thrco mombors of the Logmtature on both sides. Tho decleions of the Bupromo Court of tho State were.adjudged by tho Committoo not to cover tha caso on thobrand ground that * fraud vitlates overything,” Mr. Morton's agsortions that tho majority of the Louisiann people givo tho Kollogg Government tholrsupportand sympathy, and that the McEnery Government is & ** oriminal pretenslon,” are in« consistont with tho roport of tho Sonate Com- mittoe, of which ho was Chnirman, to the offect that thoro was no Btate Govornmont oxisting at that time in Louisioua. That the MoEnory Gov- ornmont {s o ** criminal protonsion,” which at- tompted to sot itsel? up by forco, is inconalstent with tho fact that the forco was omployed by tho othor sido, tho United Statos troops having beon called out by Judgo Duroli’s doclalon, which Benator Morton said * cannot bo justifled or de- fondod.” Bonator Adelbort Ames (son-in-law of Ben Batler) has, with the powerful ald of Preaiden~ tlal patronago, seoured tho Ropublican nomina~ tion for Govornor of Misslssippi as n step to his own re-election to o full torm in the United Btatos Bonate, which this election will decido. In the Convention, Aug. 27, Ames had 190 Yotos, and Gov. R. 0, Powora 40.
