LOUIS SOULE.

We have RETAINED hitherto from making
any reference, beyond the statement of the
mere fact, TO the unacc0untGblc absence of
Mr.. Louis Soule, one of the representatives,
from this county, at the final vote in legisla-
ture at Springfield, on the river Improvement
bin. We have been hoping that Mr.. Soulo
would condesccnd 20 explain that absence,
ana assign some satisfactory reason for it.
It is well known that the bill failed to pas,
solely for want OF his vote, and that he knew
a week beforehand exactly when the vote
would be taken, and exactly how fatal to the
measure would be his failure to be present
and vote. All this being well known, as we
have said, and freely commented upon, a
personal cXplanation' from Mr. Soule has
not only been strictly i'll order for a couple OF
weeks past, but his failure to give 1t, justly
gives rise to unpleasant suspicious.
The Ottawa Republican mildly suggested,
two weeks ago, that Mr.. Soue was absent on
account of sickness in his family; but on in
qury we find the excuse too thin, Tor the
reason tlat he did leave home in time 10 have
reached Springfield early enough to have
voted on the measure and had half day to
spare yet he 50 timed his movements as 10
reach there just three hours too late. If Mr.
Scale could leave home and sick family
with propricty at - o'clock on Wednesday,
just too late to meet the noon train at Mar
settles, he could with equal propriety have

WHAT the farmers, who talk Of reversing

pect Of the Supreme Court Of the United

Yet the Supreme Court of the United States

that Chief Justice Chase, and Justices Field

The first fruits of this policy of crushing
ouj the will of the people have ripened in the
parish Of Grant In this parish, as well as
twOthirdS of all the other parishes in the
state, the democrats or "fusionsts," last fall
had, by large majorities, elected their parish

board ha0 thrown aside the fusion vote and
given the offices to their opponents. The OPP
posing candidates, however, had no taste to
take the Offices to which they knew they had
no just claim, and failed to qualify, upon
which Kellogg ordered the officers rightfully

these officers were McEnery men, or antiradi-
Gals, but in spite Of the order of their own

the parish determined they should be kept

REDUCTION OF FREIGHTS.

The managers Of the New York and
Pennsylvania Central railroad the Hudson
River, The Erie and other eastern trunk lines
have had meeting in New York and agreed
upon u reduction Of frcights for the spring,
amounting, on an average, 10 IL per cent
below present rates. The Erie New York
Central, and Hudson River railroads have
made greater preparations than ever before
for shipment of freight by the lakes. The Erie
will have fleet of dirty propelcrs plying
between Buffalo, Chicago, and intermediate
ports. The other two lines named have also
lgrge fleets plying between the same ports.
