THE KELLOGG Observation-Disclosures Tue
corner, on Drvades street, when the Leghla-
ture is in session, you may see the la"-llak-
ing body which is upheld by tue Executive
Department of the United States. Around
the doorway of the Mechanics Institute one
'or two negro policemen, armed with cuCs
and revolverS, are standing; mounting 8
staircase covered with old and tobacco
stained mating, you may enter long nall
carpeted with dirtier mating; and there, at
clumsy desks, sit the laW-makers---a hetero-
peneous mass of negroes standing outside
the railipgs, and listening with open mouths
to the elouuence Of their fellows who have
been digniied with Office. Nearly all the
honorable representatives are black and
their opposition is instant and determined
TO ANYTHING which is likely to better the
present horrible condition of white society
in Louisiana. To the Senate chamber the
same scene is repeated; If q colored man Is
in the chair he is constantly falling into the
profoundest errors with regard to his
rulings and decisions" and finds 1t ex-
tremely difficult to follow any bill the mo-
mept it becomes the subject of dispute; ana
there is always the black man who Is per-
petualIy hopping up to say, Ono, sir no,
Sir; I object to that, sir !" and the lean
white man, dressed in the extraoFdlna,,
rily new clothes, aud with general
mushroom aspect about him, who smiles
whitening smiles Of contempt on the STRIVING
negroes, as he endeayors, from carpe!-Dag
point OF view, to show them where they
are in error. The scene would be ludl-
crous were it not SO saddening; had 1t not
already been enacted for five weary years,
while the State has mean time gone nearer
and nearer the verge of ruin, deeper and
deeper into the abyss of crushing taxation.
Even the Governor, who has to do with
this Legislature, must now and then wish
that he had better material to work with

HIS FUNERAL William Wheeler, of Newark,
got drunk in New York and telegraphed to
his aged parents, in Colchester, Conn, that
he was dead. He signed bis wife's name to
the dispatch, and it asked them to come on
to Newark at once. The aged couple, leay-
ing daughter on the point Of death at home,
started on their melancholy journey to
bring back their sons corpse. Previous to
their departure they ordered grave to be
dug In the family burying-grounds, pail
bearers selected, and the friends of the fam
lily invited to the funeral. When they
reached New York they engaged the Rev.
Mr.. Curtis to conduct the funeral service.
Having travelled all night they were met by
Sarah, the sons wife, whose name was
signed to the dispatch. 1t was with much
modification that she was compelled to say
that her husband had been on drunken
spree for several days, and that she supposed
in his debauch he had perpetrated this cruel
outrage.

The Duty Of the Hour.


The Republican party will never
have better opportunity than the
present to place itself squarely in q
position for long control of the af'
fairs of the nation. The nation is
not in the hands of General Grant
or in the keeping of Congress. It's
fortune depends on the attitude Of
the Republicans who labor in the
fields, the work shops and the mines,
and conduct our legitimate traffic
and trade. 1t is for them to declare
what the creed of the party and the
policy Of the administration of na~
tionSl and State affairs shall be. If
they decide for reform, thieving in
high places, corruption in politics,
injustice in business will no longer
flourish in our midst. There is no
wrong public condition which the
party and the Administration can.
not either modify or wholly remove.
They not only carry and WELD the
purse and the sword of the country,
but they have the support of the
political sentiment and the good
wishes of the great body of the peo-
pie.
But the party is the support of
the Administration, and individuals
support and sustain and form all
there is of the party. The duty of
tho hour therefore primarily lies
with the Republicans in the private
walks of life. Republicans ia the
county districts are especially urg-
ed, TO the end that whatever is
needed of reform in the public service
may be accomplished, to attend to
their greatest duty as electors. The
great cry for reform comes from the
rurai districts, and that farmer who
fails to attend the polls on election
day fails in that important duty.

The Railway Ticket.

The Milwaukee Journal Of Com
MERGE 10 speaking of the gubernator-
ial candidates says:
We have nothing TO allege against
the estimabIe gentleman who oppos>
ed Washburn in this campaign.
Either ticket is on the whole an
honor 10 tho state of Wisconsin. But
We are afraid OF the frmer who has
been put forward by the Milwauk &c
and st Paul railway politicians.
Whenever that corporation goes inc
to politics we hope to see it beaten.
The Journal If Commerce is not in
the habit of making assertions which
facts do not support, and in this case
it touches the keynote of what
should be the opposition TO the pre-,
tended reform ticket. It's statement
that farmer Taylor is the nominee OF
a railway company is one which
will be supported by every one cog
INFANT Of the history of the conven
ton which nominated him. The
raising of the already excess We
freights on grain, may be taken as
the initiatory step of the kind of re-
form which this party proposes to
give the Wisconsin Changers.

The Result in Iowa.

According TO the latest returns
from the various counties of Iowa,
tho Republican majority will be con-
siderably above 10000. The legisla-
ture is surely Republican, the Senate
by some 10 ma GRITTY, and the House
by nearly as much.
OF the opposition quite a number
undoubtedly count them elves as
still in the Republican ranks, having
run upon independent tickets with.
out the purpose to sever their rela.
tons with the party, and many Of
their supporters voted for them for
local and personal reasons. In Iowa,
the shepherds of the Granger fold
were deceived by the Democratic
wolf in sleeps clothing, which hav-
ing gained admittance used the pow
erful and effective agency of that so,
eiety for the accomplishment of It's
own purposes. 1t is safe to predict
that the Changers will discover the
real character of the intruder before
another election and summarily ex.
pei him. The Republican majority
though reduced, is still large and no
doubt will again reach its old figure

EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
The Controversy on Inter Communion Among
Christians Bishop Cummins Defends the
Course Taken by the Dean OF Can.er.
bury and Himself.

New York, Oct. Ia The fact that
on last Sunday the Dean Of Canter-
bury ard Bishop Cummins, of Ken.
tuckey, in attendance here at the
Evangelical Alliance, joined 10 the
communion services in Presbyterian
churches, contrary to the spirit and
custom of the Episcopaiians. aud, as
the High Churchmen say, in VIOLA
ton, of the ecclesiastca order of the
church, has given rise to spirited
controversy among the Episcopal
ians
BISHOP CUMMINs' vINDICATIoN.
The act of the English Dean and
the Kentucky Bishop having been
publicly animadverted upon, Bishop
Cummins has written letter vindi
eating his own conduct and that of
the Dean OF Canterbury in the mat
ter of their communion in Presby.
terian churches He says: II deny
most emphatically, that the Dean
of Canterbury or myself has violated
an ecclesiastical order OF the Church
of England or of the Protestant Epis
copal Church in this country, or has
been guilty of any act of open hos
tllity TO the discipline. There is moth.
ing in the ecclesiastical order of dis
discipline of he Church of England or
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church
in this country forbidding such an
act OF inter-communion among Chris
tian people who are one in faith and
love, and one in Christ, their great
Head. As far as | know, the LibeT-
al Episcopalians of New York rejoice
in the action of the Dean of Cante, :
bury, and thank God for it. When
the Episcopal Church of EagIand
and the United States has been able
to clear herself which may God in
His infinite mercy soon grant, of the
deadly evil of ritualism, whose last
development is the revival of the
confessional, then, and not till then,
may she become haven of rest TO
manned souls, who would rejoice to
see her unite in one common bond OF
organic unity all Protestant chris.
tendon.
