expected, IL las transpired that Senator
Carpenters speech in Exposition Hall, In
New Orleans, Tuesday night last, has been
accepted as encouraging the McEneryites
to oppose the kellogg State government,
and the Governor has repeated the request
made two weeks ago to give him the aid of
Federal troops to keep order, as the State
government Is not able so to do. 9 The At
torney General plainly says ftbe Federal
government must assist In maintaining or
der 10 Louisiana, the sooner the better for
al concerned. .''raT fraq,ra - ta5lf1fg gs5 s
A Republican Senator, in sympathy with
the Grant administration On every question
except perhaps that of Louisiana, goes to
New Orleans and makes speech and forth
with Grant issues 4 proclaim iiion on the
ground that Carpenters speech is calcula-
ted to give aid and comfort to the support
ers of the legally elected State government.
This revelation lays bare Grants hypocrisy,
aud shows that be is simply sustaining the
Kellogg usurpation because it pits Radi-
cal government in power. The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
paercidl Whites, May q; ffE Httst#lE
"The Presidents proclamation, issued at
late hour this evening, commanding the
armed partissns of McEnery to disperse
within twenty days, has caused genuine
sensation here to-day. For long time
kellogg has held out to both friends and
eUemies that his government had all the
vitality which cou1u be expected from it, on
accoant Of It's being acceptable to the ma
jority of the voters of the State. Several
members Of the Cabinet, some weeks since,
even went 50 far as TO admit that the Kel-
logg Government should not be su tanned
unless it demonstrated that it had the capac-
ity to cope with if not TO suppress, domestic
insurrection. For the past few days
the rumor has been current here that Kel-
logg had made a requisition on the FEEDER
al Government for troops to assist in pre-
serving the peace. Inquiries at the proper
Administration quarters in this direction
were met with stern and positive denial.
Telegrams were sent to Kellogg himself
from here as TO whether he ha made
requision on the Federal Government, and
he, too, denied either the possibility or the
probability of such an event; but the proc
lama ton comes forth to-day, and its neces-
sity and the policy which just fed it can be
judged by ali who read. 1t was written by

SUMNER COUNTY.

Crop and Fruit PrOspects-Live Stock.
From the Gallatin Examiner, May "a.
WHEAT.-The wheat fields of this coun-
ty evidently manifest Improvement in ap-
pearance, though the average sown is be-
low past year. In many lOc lities it looks
thin.
OATs.-The bread'h of ground sown
was large, and the promise for full crop
good.
CoRN.-The cut-worm has been at work
vigorously aud repl&nting has been the
work of the farmer In some sections whole
fields are to be worked up again.
BARLEY.-There is but little rails in
Summer, but what has been soWn looks
well.
RYE-Looks only moderately well, and
but title sown, and Is backward like wheat
on account of cold weather.
The GRASSES. The meadows have had
the army worm upon them and the pros
poets are so bad that many farmers have put
in Hungarian grass for certainty of feed.
The Timothy is not very promising. Go
yer fields suffered so mu"h by the drought
of last fall that they are not recovering, and
great reliance must be placed upon Hunga-
rian grass.
HoRsEs.-There are no shipping stock
scarcely in the county. The supply of
farm horses is good. Fancy horses are in
demand, and would bring. good prices.
Much breeding to fine stations was done
this sp'ing.
MULEs.-There is a good average of
sucklngs and one year olds on hand. There
was large breeding this season to good quail
ity of Jacks. Nearly all the three year
old and upwards have gone to the markets,
and the stock on hand is very small. Good
mules are worth $l25 to $3.50.
SHEEP.-There is always an annual in
crease IF sheep in Sumner, though this
year they have been imported from else
where. There are but few lambs Of th s
spring as the winter was very severe on
them and many died. Common 81 to 81 so
and fat from 81 to &c per pound. Cotswod
and Southdown from $50 to $50 per pair;
wool 30 TO Soc.
HoGs.-The stock of hogs is not as large
as usual, and six months pigs will be push
ed from the start to mako pork.
CATTLE.-There is a full average of
grazing cattle on hand but few in order for
market. The fat ones are rather scarce
and bring 81 5.
FRUIT.-Here and then a little fruit is
left after the frost. Plums, blackberries,
and raspberries are the only fruit which
may be in plenty. We never knew black
berries to fail, and great deal of "jam"
will be made this season.
