The morning hour having expired the Cuan called up the unfinished ousiness, being the cheap iramspor'ation resolution of Mr. Windom, Mr. ANTHONY, (rep.) Of Re , gave notice that to-morrow he would ask the Senate to proceed to the consideration of the biil to provide for the olextra copies of paplic documents and for aistribution of regular omMictal edi.ions thereof. Mr. Su ERMAN Said it Was his intention tocall up the motety bil to-day, but on accoant of the sickness of one of the Seuators he had consented to let it go over uabil to-morrow. The Senate then resumed the consideration of te transportation resolution, Mr. HAMILTON, (dem.) of Md., opposed the reso- ie iuuon, and said there was a great movemert tn | 2 West kuown as tbe Granger movement, This olution was for the purpose of capturing it. sa democrat he could tot recognize the right ot isnment of such @ system of improvements. He c.d pot care tor party, but looked to the ioterest wot the whele country in this matter, and would ‘vote against the resolution, T, FRELINGHUYSEN, (rep.) gf N. J., said one dred years ago this Wester! aliéy wag a wil- | rness. Now in ten States and four Territories there are 15,000,000 of people, With 28,000 miles of | railroad, which cost between $1,400,000,000 and 51,500,000,000. They have every variety of cil- | ate and productions, with the noblest lakes | nd rivers in the worl. Tie productions. were so | ,Teat that it was almost impossible. to find means <0 bring them to market. ‘the State of New York had expended 339,000,000 upon such improvements, | and this great nation should not hesitate to spend a iew hondred thousand. The country now had 67,000 miles of ra.road, constructed at a cost of $3, 160,000,000; but they dia not afford cheap trans- portauon, tor two reasons—first, the productions | Ourmumbered tue facilities aforded by these raii- | roads, and sec nd, in these latter years railroads ad been built with ponds which did not represent capital. Two at evils followed this, first, a fictitious value | was created; and second, the existence of unpaid sock gave the roads an excuse to make enormous | charges to pay it. Fortunateiy, there were but | w such roads, and they were in the West. He | ed @ great mistake would be mane to tr! system of canais. Peunsylvanta had trie ais across the Allezheny Mountains, and had | m compelled to abandon the work. He be- | ved the true remedy was py railroads, to be | lt by private enterprise, under charter by Con- | xiess,” Nature had provited tne only two water- vays which could be used—the great lakes in the | North and the Gulf of Mexico im the South, the vvo connected by the Mississippi River. He ia- vored the construction of a canal at the mouth of | ive Missis-ippi River, and another across Florida, | whici would bring New Or.eans 600 mules nearer to New York. CONGRESS WITHOUT THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER. Mr. Bayan, (dem.) of Del., opposed the resolu- | tion and referred to the experieuce of Pennsyiva- nia in construciing canals, which involved great expense and loss, and then the work had to ve abandoned. He would not now discuss the pro- priety of entrusting such great works as those pro- posed to government officisis under our system of government, but would address himself to the ab- sence of power in Congress to enter into States ior | the construction of railroads and canals. Would the States surrender their right o/ eminent domain to allow Congress to enter into them for the pur- pose of constracting and regulating railroads? As yet there had been no precedent tor the exercise of such power by Congress, and the decistons of the Supreme Court were periectly clear against it. ‘The iederai government aid not depend upon the Wii of State Legislatures jor its powers, and on the other hand the States did notdepend upon the federal government for theirs. They were sepa- | rate and distinct. This measure contained the elements of centralization tar in excess of any- ibing heretolore proposed.

The first amendment was fo tu- sert inthe preamble the words “‘or competition encouraged by government aid,” and the second to msert tae Words “or by the extension of gov- ernment aid to private Corporations.” so trat it would read, “Tne following are the most feasibie and advantageous channels of commerce to be created or injproved by the national government or by the eXtension ol government aid to private corporations,” &c, Mr. Hany! (rev.) of Kansas, urged the pas- sage of the lution aud spoke Of the wants of | his section, He believed to enter upon tis sya | tem 01 improvements would be the best way to | foster commerce, votn foreign and domestic. He | would have been glad if tae amendment of Mr. ‘Tipton for the improvement of the Missouri River | had been adopteu, Lut hoped that the river would | yet be improved. ‘The amendments of Mr. Gordon were rejected. HOW THE OOST IS TO BE SUPPLIED. Mr. WINDoM, (rep.) of Minn., said the whole | country would be benefited by these improve- | ments—the railroads a8 weil as the people. He | did not desire ‘o strike down the railroads of the | country. He desired to see this question acted | upon from @ national point of view. In answer to 4 question of Mr. Pratt, (rep.) of Ind., as to how revenue was to be raised to carry on these um- provements, Mr. Windom said he wouid do it, first, by ret bg Lae tax On tea and coffee; or. ti that should not be deemed advisabie, he would | issue bonds to raise it, All that was Waoted was courage and iaith in the country. Mr. boGY, (dem.) Of Mo., argued in favor ot the resolution, and sald the question o1 money was of no consequence when the great beneilt to be de- rived from those improvements was cousidereo, He was @ strict consiructionist and a State mghts man, but was in favor 0! the proposed survey, though ne would have been giad if tie amendment of the gentieman from Georgia (Mr. Gordon) had been adopted. the question of the power of Con- ess tO Make improvements could be discussea | ater surveys should be completed.

Constant Meyer Is at work on a charming pastoral | scene which is fullof sentiment and tenderness. | The subject is a simple one and old as the world. It represents a young maa and maiden under the summer trees whispering of love, There is some- | thing exquisite in the composition of tne work, | which tells of passion, bat pure and lovely as | an angel’s dream. The scene of this ‘Idyl” is | laid in Italy, and the costame ofthe country serves | to lend picturesqueness to the scene. Itis painted | in Constant Meyer’s best style, and will sorma desirabie acquisition to any collection. L. E. Wiimarth, the attentive and intelligent di- Tectorof the drawine classes of the Academy of Design, has well nigh completed @ nude study of a female figure, which he intends to exhibit on an early occasion. It will be called “After the Bath,” and will continue the effort’made by Perry in the into our exhibitions. Mr. Wilmartn’s work is well painied, the flesh tints having been rendered with remarkable success, The figure lies at tull length, resting on the leftarm, and a book has been intro- duced to give the study the interest of a composi- tion, Tnis work marks another step in the ad- vance of art in America. We are gradually leav- ing the period of rags and shapelessness behind to enter into that of form and color. E, W. Perry, to whom is dua the credit of dar- ing to exhibit a nude figure, 18 at work on a sub- Ject which wili please much better the “unco! | lady reading a | good.” It represents an old very large book, that may be the Bible—perhaps it is—but, as the matter is not of much import- ance irom the point of view of art, we shall allow the purchaser to decide whether it is “Gil Blas’’ or the Bible the old lady is interested im. For our purpose it is sufficient that the figure really ap- pears to read and be interested in what it reads; in this the artist has been remarkably successful, for, although there is a peacciulness and qaiet- | reason no cognizance was-tuken of it. District | ness about the old lady becoming old age, she ap- pears wholly absorbed by the page she scans. In drawing and color the work is eminently satia- factory. There is an abundance of cool grays on this canvas which is quite refreshing.

CLOUDS IN ROYAL SKIES, (From the irish Times.) What is the matter? The..Emperor of all the Rassias looked distraught at the Guildhall banquet, and the Queen hurried of to Balmoral fo us, simple people, it looks strange; but these poten- tates move in spheres far above us, and their orbits are as eccentric apparently as those of comets. Of course, everything is quite correct and kind, and there is a regular medical certificate to the effect that the beaith of Her Majesty nas sul- fered from the excitement attending the arrival | of the Czar lol'owing s0 soon upon that caused by the marriage of the Duke o: Edinburgh—sv that an | immediate change of scene and the quiet of Bal- | moral are necessary for her.

Why, too, did NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1874.—TRIPLE SHEET. POOR LOUISIANA. The Opinions of Dr, Thomas Cottman, the Commissioner of the Government to Examine the Condition of Louisiana. Carpet-Bag Rule Worse than the Flood. “There Must Be a Change or Civil War Is Inevitable.” —_— ‘The desire to upferstand, and, if possivle, better Qppreciate the condition of Louisiana since the terrible devastation by the Mississippi overflow, has been universal. The peopte of the North could not well understand why Providence should at the same time send two such curses asa carpet-bag government and a deluge upon the poor, suffering Citizens of one State of the Union. So, when the news of the latter calamity came, the people hastened the more readily to give their aid to the suffering, because 1t was hoped that in it the dire- ful calamities then burdening the State might be washed away. The departure of Dr. Thomas Cott- men, an old resident of Louisiana, for the deso- lated country was understood to indicate the | @uthoritative promise of governmental investiga- tion and reltef, The report of Dr. Cettman to the Executive Department at Washington § only tended to confirm this opinion, The Doctor re- turned to the city last evening, when he was met | by a HERALD representative. The following in- teresting conversation took place:— THE DEVASTATED COUNTRY. “You have just returned from Louisiana, I.be- leve, and the HERALD would be glad to print the result of your observations there. How did you find the State generally?” “Between the food and the complicated condl- tion of its politica,” repded Dr. Cottman, ‘1 must say tnat I think Louisiana je in the most unfortu- mate condition imaginable. In fact, itis a qups- tion in my mind which is preferable of the two— namely, to be drowned out or to live in anarchy,” “First, I should like to know the result of your observations regarding the devastation py the overflow,” said tae HERALD representative. “The water Js rapidly receding,” began the Doc- “The whites have food enough, but they have ot sufficient to a own the negroes, The gov- ernment supplies rations regularly to the latter. I was m Poland many years ago, and then saw the frightful ravages of famine, but I saw nothing equalling the condition of the poor whites and ne- groes in the inundated districts of Lonisiana. Misery, wretchedness, want, despair, are the con- stant companions of these poor wretches."” AID MUST COMR FROM OUTSIDE. “What are the business men of the South doing “The New Orleans Chamber of Commerce will send ex-Governor Hebert and Professor Forshey to this city. They will lay their statement of the condition of the people before the New York Uhamber of Commerce at its meeting on Thursday next, and ask the assistance of that body to keep the laboring population out of want until the planting season begins, This will begin about six weeks hence. The assistance must come from out- side. There is no money in the State.” “What. will be done to prevent a recurrence of this fooar” “The general government must take charge of the levees. The State of Louisiana cannot furnish the means. It will be several years before the country can entirely recover." THE OYTTON AND SUGAR CROPS. “flow are the crops beyond the overflowed regions ?”” “Where the country has not been overflowed,” replied Dr. Cottman, the crops are the best they haveseen since 1828 Ihavein mind the sugar crop, especially. The cotton region is all over- flowed and the crop literally aunihilatea for this year. Ifit had been planted before the flood there would be trom three inches to fifteen feet of sand and sou on eet it. In regard to the cottn crop, have. noti that wherever it 1s planted just alter the decline of the water the leaf is eaten up | a8 soon as it ce by a small black bug. The corn, likewise, is stripped by a worm. ‘This con- | dition of things exist turoughout the entire region of tne flood, ‘The pariatos of Ascension, St. James, Iberville, Assumption and St. John the Baptist are but slightly affected by the overfiow. tain most of the sugar plantations. In tne pai of Avoyelles, West Baton Ronge, Point Coupee, St. Mary’s, La Foucve, interior, Terre Bonne, St. Ber- | nard, Plaquemine and Vermillion more than halt the sugar oven is destroyed. In ali the large cotton growing parishes there 18 no crop at all and the People are on the verge of starvation.” PUBLIC CENSURE OF THE LRVEB OOMMISSION. “Flow do the people live ?” was asked. “Pne people live the lives of beavers, and from their appearance you would bed elo that they be- longed to an ampmipious class of humanity. They wade in the water and wailow in dirt, For the most part they subsist on fish’? “Who do the people biame for their unfortunate condition ?”? “The teeling against the Levee Commission is the bitterest conceivable, and numerous suits have been begun ior damages by the overflow. Against one Of the commissioners alone twenty suits have been iustituted, Nothing will come of this, how- ever. Nobody ever gets a judgment against a State official in Louisiana.” THE PROVLE GKATEFUL FOR GOVERNMENT AID, “How do tne people stand in respect to the rule of the federal government *”” «They ali complain more of governmental tnter- ference than of the devastation by the flood. There exists throughout the State a system of satraps. With only one exception, which I shail cite Jurther along, there are no oficials under the eneral government who were residents of the tate prior to appointment.” Soe ree diay 18 giving upon the citizens ’”’ asked he HERALD man. “The citizens of the towns and villages have ernment if possible, as it is now assisting them. ‘They are anxious to reciprocate recent tavors, All are repudiators however. The negroes expe- cially are in favor of the repudiation of all State deots. They have been taught that the propri tors will not beable to pay them iftney (the emplo, ers) are compelled vo pay the taxes, ‘ne negroes do not care about any other hind of politics; they belleve just that much, and do not care to know more. REPUDIATION THR NEXT ISSUE. “This 1s likely, then, to be the next issue in Louisiana?’ “It certainly will be the issue in the next elec- Won; but it will not be confined to Lousiana. It wili spread wherever there are negroes—all over the South. The work of the negroes is the only aneans at hand ior the whites. to pay the taxes. This the negro knows, and he naturally feels tuat the money 1# to come out of him and that he has the upper hand of the argument and can dictate his prices. The employer is to vlame for this state ofatfairs. He has taught the negro to believe that the tax must come from a reduction of his w: But, as I 8: the great trouble ia that there ts solutely no money in the State, Last year negroe: could earn fF pe onth, while now they are glad to get $13 for tl ine amount of service. the reason for this is that, whereas the proprietor could last year borrow the $20 to pay Ins man, he now finds tnat he has not the credit to acquire the $13 which he must have before he can cugage his help.” FUNDING THE STATE DEBT. “Js the condition of the State finances as bad 1’ “The State will never be able to pay its bonds,” replied the Doctor. ‘Kellogg is coniing on with the funding commission to try to jund the State debt. The interest on sixty per cent of the Jace of paid if the bondholders are willmg to fund their mit ae remaining jorty per cent must be ropped. “Are there many of these bonds held in the North? “Yes, A prominent banker who went into bankruptcy a jew months ago held $2,000,000 of them, ‘The general impression throughout Louist- ana seems Ww be that if the Governor ucts uate in this matter of funding the bonds, and does not go into Wall street to speculate on his own account, he will get the united support of both parties. The bondholders would, oi course, array themselves against any such a course.” GENERAL GRANT'S LOUISIANA POLICY. “What ao you regard as General Grant’s policy re- garding tue Louisiana peopie ¢” asked the HERALD representative, “One of conciliation,” replied Dr. Cottman. “The appointment of Burthe to a Collectovanip has done much to create good Jeeling throughout the State towards the general government. Burthe was @ Creole, very widely known aud & violent opponent to General Grant's syatem of carpet-bagyers, He was the first ana only appoint- Ment made of a citizen of the state. In the over- flowed disiricts of the State the feelings of the People are those of extreme gratitude (oF assist- ance.

Norcan I be so acct when I say that | think Kellozg is a much better man for tue position he now holds than is Mcko- ery. These remarks sound strange irom a memoer of Tammany Hall, but they are my candid opin- tons,” WHIOH SIDE OF THE FENCE? “What side would Warmoth be forced to take t” asked the HeraLp man. “Phere would be no middle ground in case of a revolt and Warmoth would be compelled to against the near, althuugh he 1s a candidate for negro votes. Another opinion which bas gained currency throughout the State is, that as soon as Governor Kellogg leaves for the north Lieutenant- Governor Antoine will make ail the appotutments just as Dunn did when Warmoth was away. The white popalation would ike to see it, because it would briog a spilt of the Republican party. They are watching the state of atfairs with great care, and, a8 | said, I believe the crisis will come about September.’” “Where will Pinchback stana ?” “Pinchpack is now prominent among the conserv- ative element.
