THE HlNDCUFFED STATE.

While Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. Edmunds and
the rest who see, and can see, nothing but
that the people of Louisiana are rebelious
and traitOrous in refusing to be governed by a
Legislature which was never elected, are talk
ing about the murderous designs and the trea-
sonable purposes of the tax paying citizens of
that manacled State, the citizens themselves put
up their hands and offer the most telling argu-
ment that can be offered against their op-
pressors. They make no disturbance they are
calm and patient; they even make no threats.
Weak and helpless, they first put up imploring
hands and say to the Committee of Congress
which was sent them by Radical majority
to report upon the situation, "Just look at us
land say what we ought to do" There is not
even a sentiment of opposition to whatever
this Committee may report. No better COM
ment upon the situation could DO offered than
the proposition which finds such ready assent
among the Conservatives, that the whole subject

There is one point in the Louisiana middle on
which all parties are agreed. 1t is that Gov.
Kellogg is able to maintain his place only by
United States bayonets The people Of the State
did not elect him. He is imposed upon them from
without, and, if be were left to himself he would
not remain for "a hours among the people by whom
he pretends to have been elected Governor This
may not be Republicsnism. but we do not see that
the Administration people have any occasion to
complain 1t is the thing they have themselves
sought TO perpetuate. It is Grantsm.

Gen. Sheridan said to a reporter on Tuesday that
If the President would indorse him" he would soon
settle the trodbles in New Orleans. You cannot

marked where secretly armed bodies of men exist
without puctfng them down. propose to do it,"
Aud when he was questioned about the law for such
a summary proceeding he replied that there was a
law for it, though he did not call to mind exactly
where, We can satisfy the General on that point.
He was probably thinking of Article ii. of the
Amendments to the Federal Constitution. which
reads as follows: "A we-fegulated militia being
necessary to the security of free State the right of
the people to keep and bear arms shall not be
abridged"

been Mr.. Smiths own purposes, We can hardly
doubt that the persons who gave him this
power expected him to make just the use Of

An cutlery is raised in this city against Mayor
Wckbam on account of his efforts to purify the De-
partments. Every complaint against an official
whom no believes unworthy or incompetent is met
by the excited declaration that he is struggling to
get patronage into his hands, and is prostitutng
his power to mere partisan ends. Meantime, the
party whose journals and leaders make these COM
plants proposed yesterday in Albany to take
from the Leuteuant-GovernOrt the privilege he has
heretofore always enjoyed, of appointing the eight
pages of the Senate. The Northumberland is
Liberal Republican, and there was danger to the
country in leaving the amount of patronage in
volved in the places of these eight pages in Liberal
Republican hands. But it is mOnstrous for Mayor
Wckham to seek to use the patronage he may BIO
able to get.

A singular mistake made in cable dispatch
from London yesterday, announcing the removal Of
Bishop Martin from an ngish See. The Bishop re-
ferred to was DR.. Conrad Martin, Roman Catholic
Bishop of Paderborn, and he was removed by the
German Ecclesiastical Court. There Is no bishop OF
the name on the English bench Bishop Martin was
fined last Summer for violation of the Fak laws,
and without his consent the fine was paid by
friend He requested the Imperial District Court OF
Paderborn to refund the money to the payer saying
it was contrary to all idea of punishment that an
innocent party should suffer It, against the will OF
the ono for whom it is destined and under protest
from him. This request was refused, and the
Bishop carried the matter to higher court. He has
since then been prosecuted on other charges end
fined again. A number of the noble ladies of West
phaa presented an address of sympathy to DR.. Mar
tin. and were arrested and fined on the charge OF
using seditous language in it. An appeal to higher
court affirmed the sentence The removal of DR..
Martin by the Ecclesiastical Court has been ex-
pected.

Controller Hopkins's report, which was sub
mitted to the Legislature yesterday, and is
printed in full on the second and fifth
pages of to-day's TRIBUNE, is the most
able and interesting as well az the most
complete which has proceeded from that de-
partment of the State Government for many
years. It's discussions Of the various subjects
which come within its scope are not 80 long
as to be tiresome nor so technical as to be
obscure. They appear to be wholly free from
partisan bias and commercially frank and
open. The vices as well as the virtues of our
present State Constitution are amply illustrated
in its pages. The credit of the State is per-
feet, and its indebtedness small and rapidly
diminishing. On the other hand the results of
divided responsibility in the management of
the Canals, Prisons, and United States Deposit
Fund, in the erection OF public buildings, and
in the assessment of taxes. are as bad as can
be imagined. The remedy must be sought in
a complete change of system, and it is to be
regretted that the plan proposed by the Con-
stitutional Commission was rejected by the
Legislature.

THE CROPS FOR 1874.

The ST. Louis Democrat has procured
from J. L. Dodge. the sanitarian Of the
bureau of agriculture, the footings of his
forthcoming statement Of the crops of
1874. as follows:
On the LIST Of January. 1874. the num-
Der Of swine Of all ages in the United
States aggregated nearly 3l.0O0,OO0 as
deducted from returns Of county cores
pOndents, of which fully 100000 were
in the eight states Of the Ohio aud Mis-
souri, valleys. In September last returns
were received showing the comparative
numbers and condition Of fattening hogs.
A decline from the amount of stock fat
teniug in September Of the previous year
was reported in every Western state,
amounting to twenty-four per cent. in
Kentucky, thirteen in Ohio, eight in
Michigan, seventeen in Indiana, fifteen
IN Illinois, fifteen in Iowa. seventeen IN
Missouri. and twenty in Kansas in
these eight states the average decline
from last year being seventeen per cent.
Their condition at that date was also low,
the depreciation below a fair average be-
ing eleven per cent The returns were
very full. and these deductions doubtless
represent with reasonable accuracy the
status Of swine fattening In September
last preliminary estimate Of crops
makes the principal aggregates as fol-
lows Corn. Sl2,OO0.O0O bushels: wheat

There's charm in the four-lcai
clover
If that be SO. will find that charm,

For, oh who knows. If they tell me true.
What four-leaf clover for me will do
So down on the meadow she sped away
To search for the charm there grswing.
Nor needed the sun that kissed her cheek.
Nor the wind her golden hair blowing.
But over the fragrant grass bent low,
To see if the prize hid there or no.
But was it the bird in the old elm tree
Who few with the secret laden.
And carried to Somebody near at hand
The news Of our little maiden?
Or was it that Somebody wanted too
To see where the four-leaf clover grew q?
For soon it happened that t,co heads bent
In search of the wOndrous clover.
The while that a pair Of dimpled cheeks
Were mantled with bushes over.
But what if their secret proved all for
