THE PRESIDENT AND LOUISIANA.

Here ia the New-York Third Term Conven-
ton clamoring for the summary suppression
Of reyolts against "a duly organized State
h" government Here are the friends of the
President applauding his promptness in send
ing troops and gunboats to restore law and
order in New-Orleans. Here are party organs
living in the most outrageous manner about
tbe duty of the Federal Executive to sustain
the decisions of the courts, and the utter
inability of Gen. Grant to take the response
bility of deciding between Kellogg on the one
side and McEnery and the people on the other
What is the truth about this matter We
purpose to show that Grant himself was the
prime mover in the Kellogg usurpation; that
he never followed the orders of the courts,
but went before them.
At the beginning of December, 1872, WAR
moth being then Governor), the two canvass
ing boards, known as the Wharton and Lynch
boards, had both been superseded by the
PRONUNCIATION of q law passed at the previous
session of the Legislature, under which the
De Ferret board was subsequently appointed.
This, according to the report Of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, was thereafter the only
body competent to make legal canvass of
the votes. Warmoth had called the Legisla-
ture to meet in extra session, Dec. o. Thus
far there had been no canvass of the returns
for Governor, and Durell had taken no action.
There had been of course no resistance to the
courts there was no reason to believe that
there would be any; it does not appear that
the Marshal or any other officer had asked for
troops; yet on the Sd of December Attorney
General Williams telegraphed the following
extraordinary message to Marshal Packard !:
You are to enforce the DEGREES and mandates
Z" of the United States Courts, no matter by
"whom resisted, and General Emory will fur
"nish you with all necessary troops for that
purpose" Mr.. Williams evidently knew
what was coming. On the night of the 9Th
of December-still no trouble and no demand
for military aid-two batteries of the First
Artillery were moved into New-Orleans. On
the same night Judge Duren issued his
famous midnight order, made illegally, out
of court, without even the form
of judicial process, commanding the
Marshal to take possession of the State-house
and prevent the assembling of the Legis-
lature,-an order of which Senator Carpenter
said, sit is impossible to conceive OF more
irregular. illegal and in every Yay mex

business in adultery or libel suits. We give
these things the curt notice of our civil
indifference; the current talk Of the street and
the club fingers on trout fishing, or camping
out or it has flavor of tarry ropes and salt
water. We drop in at the theater and find our
favorite actress stacy and her little tricks stale
that deli lighted us 80 much last Winter. We go
out with yawn and try a shot or two at
billiards but the air is close and nauseating.
Surrey the rooms were better ventilated last
season, and little POtters interminable cackle of
gossip was not so nasty in flavor! IL does not
seem possible to us that month or two out of
doors can have so whetted our relish for purer
air and purer morals.
City people anxious to detain the parting
Summer on their threshold by every rational
device have inaugurated floral shows or hOrti-
cultural exhibitions for the later days in Sep
TENDER, cousins germane to the agricultural
fairs we referred to the other day. But the
horticultural fair as seen in Philadelphia and
Southern cities is its country brother,
with most unpleasant smack Of town man
ners and dress. Instead of the open air and
sweep of grass underfoot, there is hall, with
pillars wreathed in pine, and tropical scene
compounded of palms which grow in pots,
MOSES, and beadlong waterfalls descending
from spigots. Airs from Offenbach and Verdi
descanted by full brass band jangle against
the rattling windows back to our vexed ears.
The air of the close room is heavy with
tropical heat and hothouse smells. so far the
conventional limits and difficulty. Apart from
these are the masses of wonderful bloom ana
beauty, the great display Of vegetables where
the farmer rejoices IN gigantic tomatoes and
abnormal egg-plants, but the artist sees only
an indescrbable, inimitable wealth OF color.
The people are, as always, the part of the
show best worth study; the professional hor-
ticulturist with his Seeding grape out
of which he intends to make a for
tune, the gentleman's gardener and
the gentleman himself lettering anxiously
about their table of roses or geraniums, the
Vineand Committee ready to convert man
kind to belief in their new raspberry or
theory of dress reform, and lastly, the lovers
of fiowers-for the most part, oddly enough,
not young girls, but middle aged, homely
women and specialized men, who confer
gravely together on budding and grating
Sometimes State-Kansas or California
takes table and sends a greeting In the
shape of incredible pears or plums, the very
smell of which curiously convinces us of the
integrity of the Union. The enterprise is,
apart from its practical value, wholesome
one, as it keeps the pleasant season with us a
day or two longer and brings mass of
towns-people near to Nature-though to
Nature in full dress, only.
So in one way or another we cling to the
skirts of the departing Summer, in which we
breathed fresh air and learned cleaner wider
habits of thinking, too idle to consider if it
be possible for us to bring any part of the
pleasant air and cleaner thoughts into shop
or Office or homes during the long coming
Winter.

but it is obvious that they must increase II
the Constitution is to be regarded as ANYTHING
better than waste paper A tax of two mills
per dollar is levied for the Bounty debt alone.
This tax produces about S4,26O,OOO year,
The amount of the debt uncovered by the
Sinking Fund on the 30th OF September last
was only S1t,3 900, on which the interest at
seven per cent is S793,17O, leaving nearly three
millions and half to go to the Sinking L unu
in q single year. The bonds fall due In 1871
and the contributions to the Sinking Fund,
under uniform tax applicable to the pay
mept of interest and the extinction OF the
principal at maturity, are necessarily very
great as the time of payment draws near. we
suppose that the contributions to all the
Sinking Funds for the fiscal year now closing
will be not less than five million dollars,
exclusive of the proceeds of the special tax
first levied in 1872, and not yet we THINK,
entirely paid in to the Treasury. The imam
cial exhibit is a creditable one, but let the
credit 60 where it belongs-to the trainers OF
the Constitution Of 1S48.
V. We will not now 60 into the subject OF
canals, prisons, asylums for the insane, MONIES
for incurables, and reformatOries for the
vicious, but it is pretty well known that the
insane, the incurable, and the vicious have
had a good deal to do with the enormous ex-
nenditnres for the purposes named. The
taxes, in truth, have been well maintained
The rate for the current year is 725 mills,
against sos mills in 1S73 and 6S7i mills In
1872, deductlng from the levy of that year the
81 mills inserted for the democratic de-
L" ficiency,n so called, though the Democrats
are not solely responsible for it, the Repuo-
leans being at least guilty of sitting In
the Capitol year after year without entering
an audible protest against the tax-dodging
policy of their opponents.
In conclusion We must add that we would
not detract an iota from the merit OF Gov.
Dix, Controller Hopkins, and Messrs. Alvord'
Wood, and four or five other members OF the
Legislature, upon whom devolved the task OF
bringing the finances of the State into that
condition from which, had the Constitution
been regarded, they could never have de-
parted. The opportunity was ready made for
them, and they as honest officers and shrewd
politicians made the most of it. But we have
seen that they have not succeeded i'll bringing
the taxes within the bounds of moderation,
and no party will succeed in doing so as long
rs the power of the Canal and Prison Rings re-
mains unbroken, and the intellectual and
moral standard of Senators and AssemDlymen
continues to be what it is.

TIE LAST OF SIMMER.

A fortnight ago the dust rose out of its in
significance and took rank with Kellogg or
the Indian war in public notice. The least
dog claims his day, some time. The dust, like
the frogs and flies of Egypt or the scandal
mongers of to-day, became, for short space,
not mere Disagreeable as usual, but Hor-
Tor to all decent humanity. We ate, drank,
and breathed the dust. 1t lay in heaps on
the streets, crusted the house fronts and dried
yellow trees in the squares, and rose in sitting
clouds on the roads to drive you back If you
tried to fly from it into the country. The
very fields, scorched dull brown by the long
drouth were gray with it. Added to this,
many of the cities found their supply of water
so scant that an extensive fire would have
been certain destruction; even the clearly
Philadelphians were obliged to forego their
chief delights of baths and washing,
and the city looked as if abandoned to heat
and dust and premature decay.
Now, the drenching rain of days has not
only washed and recolored the sky and fields,
and freshened every court in the towns, but
it has driven home all the gay vagabOndizing
human birds to their nests again. They find
the naples at their doors rustling with the
same note as their brothers in the woods the
streets are daintily clean underfoot; here and
there late rose looks out with tardy bushes
from the bed between the doorsteps, or Yir
ginia creeper covers the brown lntels and cor
nice with its waving crimson. On out of the
way corners old women make the pavement o
parterre of gorgeous dahlias, of chrysanthe-
NUNS, or the brilliant gladiolus. The quiet
street dresses. even, begin to warm and color
under the late September sunshine and cold
winds. Violet plumes and crimson ribbons
flutter and wave about the delicate pretty faces,
with the cheeks burned INTO n sure rose color
and the eyes frightened on mountain or sea-
beach. Even the men adventure barbarc
hints of splendor in jewelry or neckties at
which they would have shuddered in the
mid-aired Spring We have dragged Nature
indoors with us in other ways. We do not
give ourselves up easily again to town or to town
habits; we are 10th to admit that the true
weights of life lie in the Stock Exchange. Or its

n resolution approving President Grant for a
Third Term.
II. The Republican Convention for the
State of Nebraska in its recently adopted
platform declared decidedly against Third
Term for the President.
iii. The Republican Convention for the State
of Kansas in its platform declared: "That the
"unwritten law enacted by the example of the
al Father of his Country in declining reelec-
" ton to the third Presidential term is as con-
"trolling as though it was Incorporated In

Term movement there by nominating for
the Presidency in 1876 a candidate of its
own, as follows: Entertaining the fullest
coincidence In the high personal integrity,
liability, and craftsmanship of Gov. John f.
" Hartranft, we unhesitatingly present him to
"our Republican friends throughout the Union
" as a candidate for nomination to the Presi-
"dency in 1876"
V. The Administration Convention for the
State of NewYOrk lodged the question in its
resolutions, for the openly avowed reason
that the subject would have been firebrand; ;
but the Administration spokesman, Mr..
Conkling, made speech deliberately de-
signed to pave the way for Third Term
movement and in one or two passages almost
openly declaring for it. The immediate repre-
sentatives of the Administration controlled the
Convention on the platform and resolutions,
but failed to control it on the ticket
Gov. Dix on the other hand was able
to defeat the intrigues of his Administration
opponents and force the denomination of the
old officers. Was he, or is he, unable also to
secure utterance for the voice of NewYork
on the Third Term question:

dates at New-York, Boston, Chicago and St.
Louis, under the Civil Service regulations, are

If we can believe a telegram coming from
London there is no truth in the story that
proposals were made for admitting Denmark
into the German Empire. The denial is posi-

is not stated. However, the report was so
improbable that it is no difficult matter to
accept the denial in good faith.
