Condition of Affairs In Louisiana


OF late, the Radicals have represented af-
fairs in Louisiana as in deplorable con-
dition-disloyalty increasing and growing
more rank. Hon. JOHN HUTcHINs is one
of the pioneers in the Abolition move
ment. His politics are decidedly West
ern Reservish. Therefore, he is not
man who would undertake to gloss South
ern matters over. If anything, he would
be inclined to set little ''down in malice
against the Southern people. The follow
ing is from the Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th
inst, and we respectfully commend it to
the consideration of that class of our peo-
pie who will make themselves miserable.
by believing every report prejudicial to the
South that is being manufactured:
Hon. John Hutchins, formerly member
of Congress from the Western Reserve, has
been in Louisiana for some months past,
and has lately returned to his home in
| Warren, Trumbull county. To the Chr0ni-
| Gle of that place he has contributed four
letters, giving his views ofthe condition of
affairs in the Southwest. He left the South
too soon to Judge of the effects of the Pres
| ident's veto, which he regrets, but does not
believe it will be very disastrous in its re-
suits. He thinks that up to the time the
veto was announced things were gradually
changing for the better; that the prospects
were far more favorable, the enmity toward
the North being less, in January than in
| November. The freedmen have falsified
the gloomy predictions of the Southern
whites, and are generally working well.
| Among those classes OF the whites which
| formerly despised labor OF all kinds, the.
spirit of industry seems to be awakened.
He regards it as now hardly possible that
1 the right of suffrage in qualified form
| could be extended to the freedmen, but be-
lieves If the President had required it a
short time ago, majority of the late rebel
States would have as readily adopted this
| as they did the Constitutional amendment
abolishing slavery. 1t was nomore dis
tasteful to them. -ftf,5 sa ..r.t

agsA-At the session of the American
Scientific Association at Buffalo last
week, Professor WincheIl read let
ter on the fruit-producing belt Of
Michigan.
The equalizing climatic influence
of the great la!ges upon the State of
Michigan and especially upon the
western slope, was remarked by the
speaker. Lake Michigan, body of
water three hundred and fifty miles
long and an average of seventy-fil Q
miles broad, with a debth Of about
nino hundred feet. is enabled to pre-
serve something Of that uniformity Of
temperature which characteri2es the
ocean, and cXerts similar influence
upon the contiguous lands. The tenn
Perctpro in the open lake never rises
above. forty five or fifty degrees, and
probably does not sink below thirty
five on forty. The great body Of tho
lake is never frozen over. The winds
moving over its surface are conse-
quently warmed IN cold weather and
cooled in warm, The speaker had
directed special attention to the Tln4
ter climate. His observations salts
fed him that the Grand Traverse
regio possessed uniformity often
eraturc not enjoyed by other sections.
During the severest weather of win
ter he had noticed that at Traverse
the thermometer showed a more fav-
orable temperature than several other
localities on the same parallel. His
Investigations satisfied him that the
Grand Traverse Bay region is most
favOrably situated for drawing out
the utmost capabilities Of the soil,
and he doubted wheathcr any other
portion of the United States, east Of
the Rocky Mountains, will be able to
compete with it in the production of

GEN. SHERIDAN's DIsPATcH.-There
is no longer any doubt but President
Johnson caused the dispatch CT Gen
Sheridan respecting the New Orleans
mass acre to be mutilated and garbled
before permitting it to be published.
BY an order of the War Department,
no military officer is allowed to make
public any dispatches he may send
to the War Department. Thus Sher-
idan cannot publish the complete
dispatch. The Jersey City On. j.
Times says.
"a gentleman just from Washing
ton informs us that he knoWS that the
following is a part of what Gen Phil.
Sheridan said in Lis despatch to tho
authorities ct Washington, in refer
cnce TO the riot in New Orleans.
Gen. Sheridan used substantially the
following language "This is one of
the greatest outrages that ever oc.
Cured in any country. ! refuse to
obey the order Of any Confederate
| tender my resignation, and shall
keep New Orleans under martial law
until further advices." If that is
what General Sheridan sent, and it
sounds just like what he would send,
it is no wonder that his dispatches
were mutilated or suppressed. We

Importance of the FAN Elections.

The Atlantic Monthly for Septem-
Der discusses the logic of the Presi-
dents position, and the effect of the
coming elections, in o timely and
we'll written article. 1T says:
It is computed that the gain in the
approaching elections of twenty-five
districts now represented by Union
Republicans will give the Johnson
party, in the noxt Congress, a major
ity Of the House of Representatives,
should the Southern delegations be
counted and it IS proposed that the
Johnson members legally entitled to
seatB should combine with the south
ern pretenders to seats, organize as
the House OF Representatives OF the
u. s., and apply to the President for
recognition. Should" the President
comply, he would be impeachca by
an unrecognized House before an Gin
complete" Senate, and, if convicted,
would deny the validity Of the pro
ceeding The result would be civil
war, in which the name of the Fed
eral Government would be on the
side of the revolutionists. Such is
the programme which is freely dis
cussed by the partisans Of the Presi-
dent, considered to be high in his
favor; and the scheme, it is contend
ed, is the logical result of the position
he has assumed as to the rights Of
the eXcludedStates to presentation.
1t is certain that the present Con-
gress is as much the Congress of the
United States as he is the President
of the United States but it is we'll
known that he considers himself to
representtho whole country, while
hethinks that Congress only repre-
sents portion of it and he has in
his character Just that combination
of qualities, and is placed in just
those anomalous circum stances which
lead men to the commission of great
political crimes. The mere hint of
the possibility of his attempting a
coup-G etat is received by some Res
publicans with look Of incredulous
surprise; yet what has his admins
tration been to such persons but q
succession CT surprises.
