COMPROMISE IN LOUISIANA.

After numerous conferences and
much delay, compromise has been
effected between the two factions at
New Orleans which promises to-and
will, if its provisions are carried out
in good faith-bring to An end the
difficulties in Louisiana of which the
people of the country have become
heartily tired. The Conservatives
agree, on their part, to cause to
cease all violence and intimidation of
voters throughout the State, and to
assist the constituted authorities in
maintaining peace and insuring a fair
and impartial registration and peace
full election. They also agree to use
every effort to subject to the penalties
of law all persons who may commit
acts of violence or intimidation OF
conspire toward such acts. Gov
Kellogg and party agree to act on
the suggestions Of an advisory COM
mittee-which has been selected and
consists of two Republicans, two Con-
servators and fifth member jointly
chosen as an umpire-so long as the
advice and suggestions Of the COM
mittee are in consonance with and
permitted by the existing laws of the
State. The supervising and carrying
on of the registration throughout the
State, in behalf of all parties, is to be
done by this committee. The Con.
servatives are to be allowed to select
two persons to be placed on the re
turning board to fill vacancies which
shall be caused by designations.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
AS Described by Correspondents.

KELLoGG-He is not a bad look
ing man-this "carpet-bagger, Kel-
logg;' he is very quiet, unassuming
gentleman, with nervous manner, but
sort of an air about him and look
in his face that makes one confident
that he would not willingly do any
harm and let alone, people say he
would make very respectable Gov
ernor. His enemies like him person
ally, but cannot sit still under his
power. A man of ordinary size, full
beard and shrinking gray eyes; full
black whiskers, unevenly trimmed,
and a scanty amount of hair on his
head; round shoulders, with slight
stoop; an ordinary suit of clothes,
and nothing about him to attract at
tention.
Penn He was a very courtly
gentleman-such a man as one finds
on the Board Of Trade in Chicago
and in the Stock Exchange in New
York. A man with the air of good
breeding, and clothes Of a fashionable
cut-a pair of white pantaloons, spot.
less linen, with diamond studs, nc
vest, a loosely hanging blouse Of navy
blue. The day was pretty warm, as
all days are in New Orleans, and he
wiped the perspiration from his face
with an elegantly embroidered silk
handkerchief.

dignifed gentleman of the old school,
who wears ruff1ed shirts, and a fob.
chain dangling on his nankeen trow-
sers. Grayish-sandy side-whiskers,
and head that is just bald enough
to add to his dignity. A deep set,
small blue eye, with bushy eyebrows,
and deep wrinkles running across
from temple to temple, that look as if
they had been cut there by sculp-
tors hand.

THE hard times are felt very Sc
verely in Chicago, especially by the
laboring classes. Labor is so cheap
that the expense of building has been
reduced fully one-third from what it
was one year ago. The entire cost of

cost of mortar, is only SO per 1000.

frontage Of 1876 feet and depth Of

A Missouri correspondent Of the
St. Louis Democrat, abiding to the
general restitution and especially to
the scarcity of feed in Kansas and in
Western Missouri, caused by the
drought and the grasshopper raid,
states that eff all the wheat bran and
shorts could be saved for the animals,
and if plentiful supply of good
clean straw be fed in addition to what
hay may have been or may still be Sc
cured, it would bring the stock
through in pretty fair condition." He
says few of the real sufferers will be
called on for taxes.

MORE ABOUT THE WHEAT MARKET.
The Opinions OF Leading Papers.

The New York Tribune regrets
that the Western farmers are. holding
back their wheat, and thinks they
will do we'll to send it forward freely
to take advantage of the nearly two
months still left of the season of lake
and canal navigation, and also of the
low ocean, lake and canal frei ghts
now ruling, and which cannot be ex-
pected to continue through the win
ter.
1t prints two tables (which, inter-
preted by the light Of we'll known
facts, settle the average or permanent
price of wheat for the next ten months
beyond cavil. We know to moral
certainty that Great Britain, France,
Germany, Turkey, Russia, California,
and the Northwestern States, all
have crops of wheat larger than the
average, and, with the exception Of
Great Britain, all these countries
have wheat to export" The Tribune
further says: "The United States in
1872, 1878, and 1874, sent to Great
Britain direct, and through Canada,
over 26,000,000 cwts. of wheat and
wheat -four each year. To do that
the current harvest year we must I'M
dersell the French, Germans, Rus
slams and Turks; but if our wheat is
held back, and the French, Germans,
etc., are allowed to take possession of
the British markets, we may not ex-
port more that 100000 cwt., which
would leave us with an enormous stock
to depress prices next year."

previously unknown in the history Of

yesterday, lower in New York, Of the

Mr.. Donnelly, in the Anti-Momopo-

A London dispatch of September
2Sth says: "The Mark Lane Express,
in its review Of crop prospects, says
recent rains materially benefited root
crops. There has been too much rain,
however, for late potatoes, which have
shown commencement of disease.
This will cause greater demand upon
lower descriptions Of wheat, and pre-
vent their further depreciation. Grass
possesses verdure Of spring, which
will help growers to carry their stock
through the winter, Notwithstanding
the deficiency in hay and straw. The
wheat trade shows neither encourage

in France are a shilling lower, but
elsewhere on the continent they are
unchanged, except at Odessa, where
the market is frmer, in hopes that
the fine quality of the crop will evil
