New STYLE of Voting.

What does this mean? The White League
of Louisiana have issued an address in
which they say that in the impending war
of races it behooves Democrats to "protect
themselves by any means in their power"
They add significantly that in case Of secur-
ing such tuli registration as they desire
they will "deliver their votes in new style
without waiting for election day" There
is a significant prophecy of cold steel here
which is simply diabolical.-Ne,r York Com

The White Leaguers of the parish of St.

and driven away from the parish nine col

White Leaguers with belonging to the par

party Of that parish, and for this reason,
through the great grand cyclop Of the khan,
they were ordered and commanded to leave

Raising Weatern Rates ON Grain.

On Tuesday evening an important meet.
ing Of Western railway managers was held
in Chicago. 1t was attended by repre-
sentatives from the Chicago and Alton,
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, Chicago
and Quincy, Illinois Central, Hannibal and
st. Joseph, Kansas City and Northern, and
several St. Louis roads. 1t resulted in q
determination to increase the rates of
transportation of grain from the interior to
Chicago to those exacted year ago. As
reasons for this advance, the companies ad-
duce the present prosperity of the farmers
and the prices they are receiving for their
grain. The increase is from ten to twenty.
five per cent over the present rates.
The new tariffs for freight are not fully
completed, but the rates from the chief
points to Chicago are to be as follows:

Rates on all points on the Mississippi
river have been raised five cents per 100
pounds over the old tariff This applies to
all grain in car loads excepting wheat and
other mill stuff. The three pooling Iowa
roads increased the grain rates west OF
Chicago five cents per 100 pounds several
weeks ago.
The new rates are to be exacted imme-
diately. An increase of those for carrying
live stock from Northwestern points to
Chicago was also discussed and is expected
to be made. The changes are believed to
have been adopted in unison with q pro-
gramme marked out by the recent confer
ence OF the managers Of the trunk lines and
western railroads at Saratoga; when, ac-
cording to the statements of the secretary
OF that occasion, commissioners were ap-
pointed to establish rates on Eastward

A striking fact, strongly illustrative OF
the condition to which We have been
brought by bad government, increase OF

meet its obligations, and distrust OF
those who control its affairs. is to be
seen in the difficulty thrown in the way

drawback, the London managers of the

and the probability is. that they have
secured the capital required, and will
push forward the enterprise to compile

The company shows pluck and good
judgment in disregarding the obstacles
which confronted them on the stock ex-
change, and in resolving to cope with
tho graver distractions to success which
they will have to face here in the demo.
ralization of labor and the troubled
state of Affairs generally in the State.
Their action seems to say that they are
determined to overcome oil impedi-
ments, and bend adverse circumstance ces
to their will They conceive that it is
worse than useless to wait for better
state OF things. They resolve, there
fore, to put their own influence and ex-
ertions in to produce it. This action is
as exceptional as it is gratifying. Iu
fact, we may say thai the prostration of
great interests here, the depreciation of
landed estate, invite, to some extent,
the investment of capital and attract
enterprise that might not come, if the
country was in its normal condition of
prosperity. But the other obstacle of
ruined credit aud soiled character, is
one that ought not to be added to those
that spring from the desolation of war
aud the changed system of labor. This
is an injury which, with others that we
are more familiar with, is fairly to be
saddled upon those whose rule has been
the ruin of the State. It adds i'm
mensely to the difficulty of repeopling
it. It increases the proverbial timidity
of capital and tends to form a settled
sentiment of distrust and fear of invest.
