The UNNATURAL WAR.-For one to

that Lincoln had but 1867 $40 votes,

cause the fraud was too apparent

MORE ABOUT WHEAT.

From the New York dispatches of
September I'd we copy the following:
The Tribune editorially refers to
the decline in the price of wheat and
says the importance of thorough
knowledge on the part Of the people
of the causes now at work to produce
extremely low prices for agricultural
produce, cannot be overstated. The
harvest is not sufficiently advanced
to enable a statement to be made of
the grain crops OF Europe and North
America, which are above the aver
age, the transition from the high
price of grain to lower than average,
is therefore inevitable. In the Lon
don Times Of August 10Th, Mr.. H. K.
jackson, an unimpeachable authority
upon matters OF which the writer
treats, publishes an elaborate esti-
mate Of the results of the present har-
vest in England and elsewhere. The
principal conclusions arrived at by
MIR. jackson were the following:
First, that the British crop will yield
from 1900, 600 to 100000 quar-
ters or 112,000,000 to 120, 900 900
bushels, after allowing L 900, 900
quarters loss by blighted and laid
fields, the effect Of frosts during the
blooming, and thunder storms of the
last six weeks. Second, that in addi-
ton to the home produce, not less
than s or more than 8 million quar-
ters will be wanted for the 32, 900 900
inhabitants of Great Britain. Third,
that judging from all accepted pres
ent estimates, California and other
States Of the American Union, Rus
sia, Hungary, Germany, France and
Turkey will have 100000 quarters
which they must sell to supply 8 or 8
millions required by the United
Kingdom, and for which that coun-
try will be the only competitor with
those buying grain for speculation.
Fourth, that the average price ofEng-
lish wheat will probably fall below
fifty shillings per quarter. In the
course of the fourth week ending
August 18th, it was 5S shillings.
Fifth, that the price to be paid for
wheat imported into England the
coming harvest, dating September 1st,
will probably reach a total of$110,-
600, 900 against SITS, 900, 900 paid
in the year just ended In the Lon.
don Times of August oath, James
estimates the. yield of the
British crop at 12,500,000 quarters;
but the facts are sufficiently we'll es-
tablished that England will want
less wheat from foreign countries
than she has taken for four or five
years past, and that France and Ger.
many, instead of being compelled to
purchase with England for American
wheat, will be sellers with America
in the English market. These facts,
with all their possible consequences, |
however disagreeable to contemplate,
cannot be exaggerated.

The LOUISIANA BRous. The Demo
cratic and Conservative State Central
Committee OF Louisiana has issued
an address to the people of the State,
in which, after reeiting the usurpa.
ton by Kellogg Of the State Govern
ment, and the wrongs and outrages
inflicted by Government on tho peo-
pie, they declare that all this has not
been sufficient to force the people in.
10 a revolution. and that all the sto-
lies circulated to that effect are falsi,
ilcations OF Kellogg and his partisans;
Or, when outrQges have occurred,
they have melted them for the pur-
pose Of getting United States troops
into the State, not to protect the peo,
Pile against outrages, but to control
the pending election. The address
declares that the people Of Louisiana
DO not object to Tho United States
troops being stationed in the State,
but they protest againat their being
uuder the control Of the United States
Marshal, who is Chairman OF the Re
publican State Central Committee,
and OF tho United States District At

senator Chandler, Of Michigan, is
Chairman Of the "Republican Con
gressional Committee" and is the
man Of "blood-letting notoriety--not
that he ever let any Of his own pre-
cious fluid run for the good Of the
country-but he was profuse in his
declarations that "the Union was not
worth saving without little ''blood-
letting" Such was his language to
the Governor Of Michigan when
writing upon the subject Of appoint
ing delegates to the Peace Conyen-
ton, called in the winter Of 1860-61
to derive means to avert the impend-
ing conflict that burst upon the coun-
try in April Of the latter year. This
same Senator Chandler has recently
visited Washington again, and his
professed object was to set on foot O
plan for "further reconstruction of
the Southern States;" but the obvi-
yious meaning is to inaugurate meas
ures for ga little more blood-letting, "
as the following dispatch, will, we
think, fully demonstrate:
WAsHINeToN, Sept. G.-During a
recent visit to Washington by Sena-
tor Chandler, Chairman of the Re-
publican National Congressional
Committee, it was agreed to aid and
support call for o convention Of
Republicans of the Southern States,
to meet at Atlanta on the 18th of Oc-
tober, 1t is expected that the most
thoughtful, wise and fair-minded
men from each State will be appoint
ed as delegates to this Convention,
the object being to set forth to the
nation the true condition of the
South and suggest reforms necessary
to secure perfect reconstruction Of
those States. 1t is expected that the
President, Vice President, and others
Of national reputation, will be pres
ent. Owing to the short notice, it is
agreed that the Executive Committees
Of each of the Southern States may
appoint delegates. This movement
has tho Endorsement and cooperation
Of prominent Republicans in all sec
tions.
The 0regonidn, in commenting up
on the above dispatch, says:
"Every person who has paid the
slightest attention to political mat
ters Of late will agree at once there is
need Of measures to relieve that un-
happy section from its present dis
tressing situation"
Cur own opinion is, that every
State is the better judge as To- the
proper remedies for the evils that OK
ist, and that each should be seyerally
let alone until it needs help and calls
forit in the pointed out by law,
and If they 1can DO let alone until
they can officer each State with hon
est men by n fair election they will
thereafter not need any measures for
their relief.
