The Situation in Louisiana.

New Orleans despatch says that the
recent compromise contains 4 provision
allowing the Republicans twenty days to
carry out the terms Of agreement, and if
during that time, they do not in good faith
recognize the Kellogg Government, keep
the peace towards the negroes and cease
from the acts of intimidation, the Repub-
licans will be absolved from making the
appointments agreed upon.

In an editorial on prohibition the Bos-
ton Journal says:
That the sale by the glass of Intoxicating
drinks ought to be done away with is point
which, we believe, has been reached. and will
be sustained by public sentiment. That the
sale of the liquor for household use or for the
use of guests at hotels, can be prevented, is
the dream only of those enthusiasts who allow
their better judgement to be carried away by a
theory. Up to this point very large majority
OF the voters are prepared to go.
The effect of such law as suggested by
the journal, provided it could as rigidly
enforced, would be to give monopoly of
the retail liquor trade to hotels-a very
good thing indeed for hotel proprietors

The DeGolyer contract business has turned
MP again; this time in Chicago. The urbane
Mr.. Chittenden sues McClelland s. jenkins the
ood-pavement firm. This firm is the successor
OF that OF DeGolyer s. jenkins, with which
Chittenden made a contract in 1871, by which
be was to get 80 per cent. or the net profits on
Gil work that he might get for them for the
states east OF the states OF Michigan and Ohio,
south Of the Ohio river, and east of the Missis-
sppi river, south Of lis confluence with the Ohio
river. Chittenden claims that under this agree
ment be procured q contract for laying 200, 900
Square yards Of wooden pavement in the city of
Washington, at $3.50 per square foot in a
f'thOrOuRh" workmanlike manner. They put
down 81 Geo feet of the 2O0 600 in such way that
the Board OF Public Works refused to let them
lay any more, paying them, however, s199, 500
for that which was done. Meanwhile one of the
McClellands and David l.. DeGolyer died and
the firm Of McClelland & jenkins, which sue
ceeded them in business, took upon their hands
all the assets and liabilities of the old rm as it
is alleged. The new firm re fuses to pay Mr.. Chit
tenden his one-third profits, and he brings suit

they received, but of the whole $500 900 profit
which he holds they would have made il they

for 500 GOO as his share.
