CORN IN KANSAS.

We learn from reliable source that %
oranges in Charlton county, Kansas, bave
100000 bushels Of corn for sale. Farmers
are still burning this grain for fuel; and
large quantities are being shipped to South
Carolina and other cotton raising States.
Oranges in the West find good customers in
Southern oranges whose members cultivate
other staples. Producers in many branches
Of industry are exchanging commodities
without the intervention Of middle men.
This practice is susceptible of indefinite ex-
tension. Oranges that row buy their coffee
at wholesale prices of merchants will soon
purchase it directly from the planters who
raise the coffee. We live in an age Of pro-
gress; and before man gets a dollar, he
must produce something that is worth it.

GRANTS EXCURSIONS.

The Harrisburg Pa.) State Journal, q
Republican organ, says:
"Grsnt's spring and summer excursions
are the themes which now engage the at
tention Of the Democratic press. The idea
that the President should presume to visit
his farm in Missouri is shocking and abom-
Unable, and then it has leaked out that the
Long Branch cottage is being renovated,
painted, and possibly refurDished. All this
is the cause of much annoyance TO the De
mocrscy. who insist that the President
ought to remain on duty like third-class
clerk, and never absent himself from Wash
ington. But the President does not agree
with these scribes."
Of course, Grant does not. But men Of
mind and qualification for the position who
filed the Office before Grant did, when it
was no more important than it is now,
could not find time 10 absent themselves
from the capital for weeks and months at a
time, because their duties required their
presence in Washington. 1t is strange, if
they could not find time TO take "spring
and summer excursions" and seaside re-
creation, that Grant can. But Grant said
only a few weeks ago that he could not
visit the South because of the pressure of
official duties; and then on the heels of
that he took a pleasure excursion TO New
York, and is now on q similar excursion to
Colorado Territory. Such conduct is hard
" consistent, to say the least Of it.

While Europe sends her hundreds OF
thousands of industrious people to our
shores every year, to remain and become
citizens, every vessel arriving at San Fran
cisco from China is crowded to excess with
emigrants. The last steamer had 1000 on
board. The March steamer brought the
same number. The February steamer 700
and the January steamer 600. These fig
ures give $500 by four arrivals. As the
semi-monthly service to San Francisco is to
be renewed this month, the number OF inn
migrants will doubtless increase rapidly
hereafter. These people are likely to
schange the character of al labor
on the Pacific coast. They herd
together, live with great frugality, are quite
clannish and seek to monopolize any trade
or industry within their control They
have absorbed the sugar trade, and have
the manufacture of shoes and boots in San
Francisco in their own hands. -Four years
ago there were about 1900 white shoe
makers in that city, earning from $15 to
$50 week, working asjourneymen. They
were doing well, but wanted to do better,
took the "striken medicine, and Cinnamon
took their places in shoe factories.
Hardly on, American ever recovered
what he lost by striking; and
most of them returned 20 the East.
So soon as the Chinese learnt the ways of
the shoe trade, they bought stock and made
shoes and boots on their own account, re-
tanning all the profits; and they are now
without competitors. They work as jour
neymen for fifty cents day, and board
themselves. Colored men in the South
who want Is cents face for shaving and
80 for cutting hair, can zee the coming bar
Der in the Cbinaman, who viii be only too
happy to shave and black boots all day for
fifty cents. If colored people we're wise,
they would not compel the introduction of
this kind of foreign labor into the cotton
and sugar States. China can
supply indefinite working millions.
San Francisco is soon to be great labor
market, drawing on a nation for supply
that has an annual surplus from its four
hundred millions, Of ten millions. The
multiplication of people will be promoted
in China by the relief afforded in emigra-
ton to America. The pressure from that
quarter will increase with the lapse of
years. Bees that find a plenty of food,
with fair chance to swarm often, and all
collect honey, do not stop propagsting their
species. a crest deal of interest will soon
be awakened in China and Japan by the
aid of steam, the press, and other human
izing influences now al work. The Japanese
talk of adopting our language, and their
friendly intercourse with America viii in
fuence China.

The Bureau of Statistics reports the for
eign trade of the United States for the eleV-
en- months ending with November, 1872, at
s6S3, 900, 597, against 550,545,174 for the
eleven months during the same time in
1871. The specie value of tie exports fol-
theeleven months ending with November
1872, was $492, 1922, 800, against S463121,-
594 as compared with the same time in
1877, thus showing large excess ofimports.
Allowing for the difference in warehouse
account, the imports for the above named
period are in excess Of the domestic
and foreign exports combined to the
mount of S117,767, 227. Since the begin
ming of the present year the heavy imports
into the leading seaports of this country
had attracted general attention, and the
New York Shipping List remarks that "the
foreign trade of the United States has be-
come altogether too one-sided for healthy
condition of commerce and the finances.
The imports greatly preponderate over the
experts, and the adverse balance has to be
Professionally settled for by the sale of
bonds, national, State, municipal and cor
porate, which have the unlucky faculty of
constantly drawing interest"

LOUISIANA.

THE New York Journal Of Commerce
thinks it "hopeful sign," in the Louisiana
troubles that the Administration is keeping
cool and evincing a disposition to avoid
unnecessary interference. The War De-
partment instructions to Gen. Emory are
also commended as 'Judicious." In the
case ofother States this course has been
the prelude to very mean and vindicive
persecution. lift does not turn out SO in
the present instance, then there will be
reason TO praise the Administration.
As confrmatory of the suspicion that the
apparent inactivity of the Grant administra-
ton touching the affairs of Louisiana,
boded no good for that State, we copy from
the Washington correspondence (April PAY
of the Cincinnati Commercial as follows:
"The Administration has lately given
New Orleans parties TO understand that if
the people of Louisiana consulted their best
interests they would submit at once to the
kellogg State Government. No relief is
expected from the next Congress, as the
Republican party will then have a greater
majority than during the last session.
Still more confrmatory, the Washington
correspondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal writes, April 25, as follows:
aThe Mr.. Shannon who was United
States Commissioner under Judge DurelPs
appointment, and shares the bad reputation
of his superior, after sending number OF
living dispatches to the New York Times, is
here on a mission to Attorney General Will
lisms, and It is reported that the two are
busy connecting schemes of hatred and
vengeance against the white population of
Louisiana. 1t is believed that the recent
order of Kellogg to his encouragement Tor
tbe arrest and trial of Governor McEnery
and the leading f1sionists Of Louisiana for
a pretended treason was designed to precip-
tate conflict of arms and races which
would fire the Northern heart and give the
excuse for measures of greater severity
against the white population OF Louisiana"

IS THE ENFORCEMENT ACT CON.
SIITUTIONAL?

1t appears that the late opinion Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States on
what is known IS the New Orleans slaugh-
ter-house case, has SURPRISED the Republi-
cans in more ways than one. 1t has not
only established the Democratic doctrine
of State rights, but serious apprehensions
are entertained by Republicans in Wash
ington, that il has indirectly decided the in
famous enforcement act unconstitutional.
The Washington Republican, an Admins
'tration organ, says in its issue of April "a:
"The recent decision of the New Orleans
slaughter-house cases by the Supreme Court
has Occasionad considerable excitement in
political circles. 1t has been discovered that
the decision virtually declares that the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution are ap-
plicable only to the lately enfranctised col
ored citizens Of the South. If this con-
struction be correct, the enforcement act
and other laws enacted for the purpose of
securing the reconstruction of the South,
by virtue Of those amendments, are only
constitutional as applied to colored citizens,
or in matters wherein that class is directly
interested, and are inapplicable to white
citizens. On the other hand it is held that the
decision, relating, as it does, to an entirely
political question, does not vitiate the force
and effects of these acts, for the reason that
Congress and the Executive, being the po-
litical power OF the Government, will be
enabled to construe them in their general
application to the country at large, while
the Supreme Court will merely be able to
construe them in their special application TO
parties interested in any suit that may be
brought. 1t is not improbable that further
decisions on this may be sought by parsons
who are inimical to the execution of these
acts. At any rate the political lawyers are
bothering themselves to nc little extent
about the matter. Our best constitutional
lawyers, however, hold in support of the
views of leading commentators that the
Supreme Court has no authority over ques-
TORS of a political character, or, having
such authority, its execution and effect are
ephemeral. They hold, further, that Con-
gress alone has the authority and power to
construe political questions, the execution
of which devolves upon the President, and
that the judicial branch of the Government
is powerless to interfere"

SOME of the Memphis snti-funders have
manifested much solicitation about tie
calling of an extra session of the Legisla-

call an extra session when he thinks the in

preciate the credit of the State upon any
