KELLOGG DEsCRIBED.-Kellogg, in Loui-
siana. governs only in name. a kind heart
was misled by cupidity and ambition. Pack
ard the seducer entered in and took posses
sion OF his prey. That is the story OF kel-
Iogs's fall. The poor fellow is sorry for bis
political crimes, and fears the vengeance OF
The outraged people. He will tell you with
tears in his eyes that God knows he means to
do right, and that God knows he wishes he
was cut Of this scrape. But it is too late to
retrace his steps. Packard and his gang are
ever at his ear, because they cannot trust
their tmid and conscience-stricken creature
out Of their sight. They tell him that the
tate of the Republican party rests in his
hands that the "loyal North" is at his
buck; that the President will "see him
throu sh .; that retreat will brand him as
traitor; that his own life and that of every
Republican who has held Office in Louisiana
will be lost in the overthrow Of the usurpa-
ton; and that the enforcement OF the inil-
nous registration and election laws will lead
TO an apparent Republican majority in the
approaching election, TO which he can point
with pride as vindication Of his course.
Thus they play alternately upon his hopes
and his fears, and make him appear now as
bully, DOW as a craven, now as knaye.

{ RADICAL TAXATION IN LoUlsIANA.-Before
leaving the steamer took pains to inquire
of several planters from the river parishes
as to the condition Of affairs In their respec-
tive nelghborhoods. The story was the same
in every case: Ignorance in power, corrup'
ton in office, excessive taxation, untrust-
worthy labor, scarcity of money, and appa.
reutly hopeless future. "My place would
not bring $4,000 in the market to-day" said
one mar, "and yet it is assessed at $4,000,
and on that assessment my taxes must be
paid" Another, reputed to be one of the
richest men in Louisiana, said "Last year
my rent-roll in New Orleans amounted to
$4,000, aud my taxes to $4,000; this year
the yield from rents is only $4,000, while
my taxes amount to sl6,000-S2 900 more
than The income" -L0ulsiana letter in Neao

ONE GREAT CAUSE OF SOUTHERN TROUBLE
lFrom the Special Correspondent OF the 1Tl'
tune. / -New Orleans. October 3.-Te gel
right at the root Of the matter, the prime
cause of Republican misgoyernment and
popr,!ar discomfort in the South is the char.
acter of the men who fill the Federal offices
This is a fact that cannot be too plainly
stated nor too often reiterated. We might
90 back ten years and find much to condemn
and much that Was evil in effect in the re-
cons ,ruction acts and in the spirit of those
southern whites who held aoof olong from
political alliance with the newly enfran'
clised. But these mistakes are OF the
past, and are beyond control. The
abuse of Federal patronage is thing OF
the present !; it is a disease even now poison
ing the Likelihood of the South. The remedy
is apparent and easily available. If the ply
stefan can only be induced to apply it, the
cure is as certain as the complaint is dan
gerous. Moses, in South Carolina, Is bad
man; his name has become synonym OF
official corruption; but Moses Is not the real
Governor of South Carolina. The power
behind his throne, and which has expelled
him from it because bis crimes have become
too notorious, is welded by Wallace the
marshal and Worthington the collector
Officers appointed by President Grant-Who
DO the bidding Of Senator Patterson because
they recognize in him political trickster su-
perlor even to themselves.

Fraud in SCULPTURE.

Mr.. STEPHEN WESTON HEALY. Qhe distin-
suished American paiuter) has undertaken
the rather unpleasant task Of exposing the
frauds Of more than one northern man who
have contrived to establish great regulations
at the North for genius as sculptors, and
who are steadily engaged in the art OF
deception. They employ the poor artists
of Italy to make designs for them, and
the humble workers i'll marble TO chiSel
them out, aud claim all the credit for these
creations. This kind Of fraud has grown
into trade, aud sharp northern men are fol-
lowing it with much pecuniary success!
The principal person attacked by Mr..
HEALY is Mr.. LAEEIN 6. MEAD, Jr., who has
been employed to make monumental work
for the grave of the late President LINCOLN
at Springfield, Illinois. The principal part
of the design for this monument was offered
nine years ago by MEAD to the city of Bos'
ton and rejected. 1t now forms part Of
the Springfield monument. 1t was not con
ceived by Mr.. MEAD. and is Il fraud 50 far as
he is represented as the maker. The design
is the work of Siguori PAssAGLiA aud BoR
DEAuX.
PIERCE FRANCIS CONNALLY comes in for
share In the exposure. He is put to shame
by Mr.. HEALY's slater cnt, containing names
dates, and contracts. which it will be very
bard for Mr.. CoxNALLY to explain. He Is
one of the traders on Italian gcnius-a pro.
fjtcr upon that genius aud the skill CT poor
Italian artists, while he is at home much
boosted Of.
To these two it is unfortunate that many
Others may be added. Even STORY, the son
of the renowned juri>t, is said 10 profit, by
the genius Of the humble artists of Rome
and Florence, who, though not widely
known in their own land, are yet possessed
of genius superior to SToRY's, and capable
of producing DIES ignS that fill the moderately
competent judges of art in this country with
admiration. We may add the gifted" Miss
HosMER to the number that thus ride upon
the fame of other peoples achievements.
The people of this country are easily
deluded in the matter of the fine arts
and they are much yictimized by stbei1
own countrymen. See how WINNIE REAM
bamboozled the whole Congress and sci
the liberty TO exploit her marbles and
J her genius in the capitol Itself Persons dc
say that VlNNIE's personal charms and per.
suasive appeals had more to do with her sue
cess than her merits as.an artist. When 4
man goes to Washington and beholds the
abominu Bile statuary that is there stuck about
In prominent places he will not find it hard
to believe the REAM story.
| The impostors in Italy do not 60 from this
part of the Union, yet we feel some degree
of national shame at the exposure Of the
practices abroad of artists who bear the name
Of American" .,..r
1t is due, however, that we should say thai
while these charatans go from the North
that section may truly boast Of many men o.
real genius who have won fame in the supe
rior schools of. Italy,. The exposure put fortl
by HEALY is approved by such men as Lone
WORTH POWERS, HART, CLIFFORD, BALL, ant
