LOUISIANA ApFAIRs.


The complication Of political Of
fairs in Louisiana are peculiar, The
contest seems to be between MG peo-
pile Of q sovereign State ON the ono
part and the President Of the United
States, backed up by Tho army, on
the other part, 1t was evidently the
intention of the trainers of our fed
eral system of government that, to
the people Of each State should be
reserved the right to control their own
local affairs that is to say, that no
power outside of the State govern
ment should ever bo invoked to de-
termine who was entitled to hold n
State office, We are well aware that
the lato civil war afforded many OPP
portuniies, and APPARENT Necessities,
for the usurpation over State authori-
ty by the federal government Of these
reserved rights, but in common with
the people of those suffering States
we have been led to believe that the
time would como when such usurpa-
tions would cease, and the people DO
left to the FREQ and untrammeled ex-
ercise Of the rights Of solf-goyern-
ment. But it seems we have in these
fond anticipations given President
Grant and his Cabinet credit for pat
Tiotism and a regard for the Consti-
tuition to which they are not entitled.
That Kellogg has been for two years
a usurper, aeli-constituted governor
Of Louisiana, is fact patent TO all
acquainted with the history Of the
gubernatorial election Of that State
in 1879; that President Grant as
sumed to decide that Kellogg was
the legally constituted governor Of
Louisiana Is another fact patent to
the world; and but the other day as
Eamed to say that all who do not ac-
quiesce in his imperial decrte and
hail Kellogg, the usurper, as Cover
nor Of Louisiana, ale Insurgents.
In turning our attention TO the
federal Constitution we seek in vain
for the authority assumed and oxer-
cised by President Grant in INSTALL
ing into Office by tho use Of federal
bayoneta, q man as Governor Of a
sovereign State (who never claimed
That he was elected To the otiice) over
he head Of one legally elected, and
40 solemn protests of tho talent
I'D wealth Of the State.

Tho Republican side Of the Con-
ference Committee to arrange for
joint supervision and bontrol of the
machinery of the November election
in Louisiana has adjourned without
accomplishing any results. We invite
the attention of tho reader to the fol-
lowing telegram, which appeared in
Wednesday, Portland papers;
The Conference Committee that
has been holding daily sessions since
Thursday last had their final inter
view this afternoon, The object of
the conference was to arrange for a
joint supervision and control Of the
machinery Of the November election
Everything apparently progressed
satisfactorily until the question of the
composition Of the Returning Board
'was reached. This Board which
is the key TO the whole eloc-
ton scheme consists Of Ave mem
bers elected by the last Senate. .-
The law provides that vacancies shall
bo filed by the remaining members
of the Board. The NcEueryites
proposed that three vacancies should
be created, two to beiilled BY them
and the other to be filed by Joint ac-
tion OF the two parties, who should
select some gentleman Of irreproacl-
able character, without regard to his
party connections. This proposi-
ton was positively declined by the
Republican Committee, and the Con-
ference Committee finally adjourned
results
The above dispatch discloses the
reasons why no arrangement could
Be effected. TTho proposition for
! fair election and honest returns was
ust what the Republicans did not
rant.

OF manhood in more senses than one.
Born among the pine hills and rich
valleys of Virginia, he is endowed
with strength of frame as well as Of
mind which admirably fit him for his
chosen PROFESSIONALISM of physi-
cian--and make him true type of
the forcible Western statesman.
Senator Lee is 35 years Of age, and
though Republican in politics, his
broad Virginian instincts and Wes-
tern education will ever prevent him
from evincing toward his political
opponents any Of that partisan pro-
scription and Puritanical arrogance
which so frequently display them
selves in many other members of
his party. Blunt in speech, fear
less in debate, powerful in frame and
Of the "don't care a continental"

THE WHEAT MARKET.

A New York dispatch of Septem-
ber 18th, says:
The World has been interviewing
the grain exporters, and from their
estimates and statistics Of foreign
markets concludes that this year there
is apparently but one customer for
wheat, viz, Great Britain; and that the
estimated requirements of this con-
sumer is 75,C00,000 to S5,000,00G
bushels, while Russia, Germany,
Turkey, Hungary and other Europ can
countries have a sufficient surplus
this year to satisfy the requirements
Of Great Britain. In addition to this,
we are ready to export some 10000
600 TO S0,0O0,000 bushels of wheat.
1t appears, further, that wheat has
fallen from 81 GO in Septem ber, 1873,
toSl 30 in September, Isl 4; and what
is Of more vital importance, farmers
are holding back their crops, in order,
as it seems, to secure higher prices.
So short-sighted policy on the part
Of the farmers is Unfortunate. The
fact that there IS AN over-supply of
wheat all over the world, and a short
demand in Eu gland, seems to be fully
established, Its therefoe obvious
that the earliest sellers are likely to
getthe bes, prices II England needs
SO,OO,0O0 bushels Of wheat and finds
herself sa Pphed as early as November
or Deceulber with 10000, 900 bushels,
all addit ional supply must necessarily
be depr essed in price, and If we allow
Russ,a Hungary, Turkey and Germany
TO tak the Keen edge of the demand,
we viii only in the end force our
grea' wheat surplus on an overstoeked
market.

Much was said during the late po-
litical campaign in this State upon
the subject Of "retrenchment" in pub
lie expenditure and reform" in the
public service, and no doubt many
members Of the Legislative Assembly
have been elected upon these catch
words, honestly believing that great
abuses had been practiced in the
several administrative departments
of our State government, and that
unwarrahtable appropriations of the
public funds had been made by the
two last Legislatures. A careful
study Of the Governors Message, in
the light of the reports Of the several
departments will lead the members
Of this Legislature to the source Of
oil, if any abuses there have been,
in the Executive or administrative
departments Of our State govern
ment. The Governor, in his Mes
age, gives expression only to trl-
ism, when he says, "retrenchment in
public expenditure belongs to the
Legislative department Of the gov
ernment." From this standpoint we
ask ourselves the grave question, and
every member of the Legislature
doubtless will ask himself the ques-
tionAfirst, are the people Of Oregon
heavily taxed to support our State
government? Secondly, has there
been any increase of State taxation,
except one mill for school purposes,
within the past four years? The first
of these questions the people have
answered in the negative at every
election for the last ten years if we
except the present, and Of course
no one will hazard his reputation
for intelligence by saying taxation
for State purposes has been increased
for the past ten years.
Now the question addresses itself
to us, in what department is a reduc-
tion in the expenditure of public
moneys to be made? Is it in the Exec
utiye department. Does any one be-
heye that the Governor can perform
his. onerous duties without clerical
aid, and if not, can he afford to pay
it out Of a salary Of 81 800 a year2
IsHit in the Judiciary Department.
Our Supreme Judges in the perform
ance Of Circuit duty and holding the
requisite terms of the Supreme
Court are necessarily compelled to
spend seven months Of each year
away from home. Will any but mig
gardly, parsimonious man say these
Judges ore overpaid? The addition
al labor imposed from time to time
by the Legislature upon the Secreta-
ry Of State, since the adoption Of our
State Constitution, should be paid for,
and to refuse that office clerk would
be great wrong. II the compensa-
ton allowed tho Assistant State
Treasurer is too great it should be
reduced to proper scale, but to
abolish the Office we think would be
bad policy. True political economy
is to pay all public officers u fair
compensation for the time, labor and
the responsibility assumed "a parsi-
monious policy will never command
the best talent.
