THE PoTATe BUG-A New AND CHEAP WAY TO
DESTROY HM.-As farmers and others will no
doubt be again troubled with the Colorado Pc
tato Beetle this summer, it is time to be think
ing about the most effectual and cheapest plan
tie get rid of the pests. In the following man
ner farmer in Republic county, Kansas, saved
his crop: "In the spring of 1872 planted
three quarters of an acre in Peach Blows, in
rows both ways, the same distance apart as
corn. | cultivated them well and kept the
ground free from weeds and paid no attention
to the beetles until the first installment of eggs
were Matched and the young were we'll under
Roadway; then, one day, the ground being dry
and quite hot, and the vines we'll covered with
bugs, /, with an assistant, each armed with an
old broom, event for" those bugs and brushed
them on to the ground into the furrow in the
centre of the row, and it was encouraging to
see them crawl few inches toward potato
hill then turn over on their backs, lie there
short time and then they would burst open !;
and in half an hour you could not see the sign
of bug, except few that fell near the vines
and get into the shade before they were over
come by the heat. Two applications of the
broom in the middle of very hot days saved my
potatoes, and the bugs were as thick on my
vines the first time, l think, as I ever saw
them"

tactics. They, IN order to get majority,
proceed to admit three OF the five disputed
members, and then ordered the five conscrva-
Itives that had been admitted to leave the
house. They refused TO do so; upon which
Gen, TrobrIand, under command of Gen.
Emery, appeared in the house with a file Of
L. $. soldiers, and Selling the five conserva
tive members, expelled them by force. There
upon the conservative speaker, and all the
other conservative members, entering their
solemn protest against this revolutionary ect
of an officer of the L. 5 government, in a
body also withdrew. The SO radicals who re-
manned then proceeded also TO elect speaker
-ex Governor Hahn,-and being supported
by T. S. troops, still hold possession of the
state house.
There is but one comment to be made on
this action on the part OF |. 5. army officials
under direction of President Grant. The act
was gross outrage, as reasonable and revo-
luuonary as if it had been the act of king
Kalakaua or Senior Canaes, at the head OF a
troop of Mexican greasers, Grant has no
more right TO enter the legislature OF Lollsi-
ana and declare who shall and who shall! not
b recognized as speaker than he would have
had 10 enter the Illinois Legislature in the
same way yesterday or TO enter the French
chambers and designate whom they shall
elect their President. 1t may be true, that the
conservatives, in admitting the FIVE members
before the house was organized, acted hastily
and illegally, and although legally elected
quorum voted at the election of Witt, there
may still have been doubts as to the strict le
gality Of his election, but these were questions
with the decision of which President Grant
and the L. S. military officers IN New Orleans
had no more to do than the Captain General
of Cuba Grant, like Sheridan, has rot only
bundered in this business but has committed
q crime for which an honest congress would
impeach him.

about 8 o'clock, the house of Richard keefe
living in the edge of Grudy county, about
miles northwest of Seneca, took fire, and
was burned TO the ground with all its con

were the only occupants Of the house, and
barely escaped burning up with it, Both
were badly burned. Mrs. Keefe, it is feared,

THE LOUISIANA MIDDLE.

. Any persistent attemyt in this country 10
set up and maintain government against
the will of majority of the people must
lead to disorder and anarchy. Such must rs.
pecially and inevitably be the case if the gov.
eminent thus forced upon the people is noto-
riously corrupt and oppressive The Kel-
lOgg government in Louisiana has been but a
modified state of anarchy from the hour OF
its midnight inauguration year ago 1t is
the government of a robbcr chief, with
his band of five hundred thieves and
cut.throats around him, held in position as
head o. burlesque safe government by the
support of federal bayonets. That the people
of Louisiana, in attempting TO rid themselves
OF such domination, should be somewhat
bold and INSCRIPTIONS as to means, is GER
tainly but natural
Last November the people of Louisiana
went through the form ofholding an election.
1t is admitted that the election was quiet and
peaceable in all he parishes except two OF
three, and that all voted tina, wanted TO. The
election, however, we have said was but a
form; for, whatever might be the state of the
vote, it must first be manipulated by "board
of canvasors,' appointed by the robber chief
called governor and they would ultimately
declare who was elected Now as a matter
of fact, it was plain and palpable that the con-
seryatives had carried the state by III, 900 ma
jority, and had elected - of the III members
OF the legislative. But the "board of canvas
sers, after spending six weeks IN doctoring
the returns, reported that 90 conservatives
and % republicans were elected, and, as to
the other five, they referred them to tse leg.
islature to decide for itself. OF course in
tins decision same - conservatives were
ruled out who had been as honestly elected
as any OF The other %; and some 20 republi.
cans were counted IN, whom the people had
as clearly voted ont.
/ Last Monday was the day fixed for the
meeting OF this curiousIy fixed up legislature
The hour OF meeting was II o'clock. and by
accident it was found, at tina, precise mo-
ment, that all the - conservative members
were present, but that two republicans were
] absent. In" conservatives hastened to take
advantage OF the circumstance. They imme-
dlately elected one Of their own nuQber-
: eNmayor Witt, of New Orleans sneaker
pro 'e"t' then seated the five conservatives
whose eases had been referred to the house
/ by the board of canvassers, and then proceed
cd to organize the house by elccting speak
err clerk, &c, % votes being cas-, for Wilt
for speaker and two for Hahn. The vote
showed that even excluding the five mem
bers admitted To seats, a quorum CD of un-
, disputed members had voted and that Wilt
was fairly elected speaker.
3 The radicals, however, seeing they we're
trapped, slctermlred to undo BY force what
the conservatives had fairly won by superior

THE Pacific MAIL pLuSDER
The committee, during their Investigations
IN New York, struck slight lead which has
led to high hopes of yielding some rich ore.
After tracing $4,000 INTO the hands of eX-
postmaster King, of the House, in following
up that scent they traced $4,000 into the
hands OF Congre ssman Schumaker, of New
York. Here was something like genuine
ore, at last, and as Schumacher happened to
be an opposition congressman he could be
investigated" without that delicacy that was
necessary to be observed if the delinquent
was a good loyal radical. Mr.. Schumacher
having been summoned forthwith to appear
before the committee, it was found. however
that sudden business had called him to Eu
rope, and it might be some time before they
got his evidence.
Such at Il asst, was the story while the com.
mi,tee were yet in New York; but on We'd
nesday the house was somewhat taken
aback to find Mr.. Schumacher in his seat,

Meantime Irwin, for refusing to answer
questions propounded by the committee,
was brought before the bar of the house on
Wednesday in custody of the sergeant at

er he was ready to answer the questions
which had been addres ,ed to HIM by the

FINANCE BILL.
The House banking and currency commit
tee on Wednesday unexpectedly called up
the senate finance bill, which had been made
the special order for Thursday, and gave no
tice that the house would be permitted to vote
on three amendments, to-wit To strike out
the section proposing to substitute silver for
the postal currency and the section providing
for the free coinage of gold; and to add the
words land cancel after the clause pro-
viding for retiring greenbacks. The adop
ton OF these amendments by the house, it was
believed, would kill the bill, as the senate
would in no case accept these amendments
But these speculatons were disappointed
The moment the bill came up on Thursday,
the gag was applied and even the amend.
men's which the committee the day before
agreed should be offered were ruled out.
Randall called Maynard, chairman of the
committee sharply to account for this breach
of faith, but he replied only by bullying
sheer. The bill was then put through under
whip and spur, and passed by vote of 1856 to
50, only - republicans, such as Dawes, Haw.
ley, Hoar, &c, daring TO defy the caucus ty.
ranny. Before the bill passed, however, an
assurance was whispered to the weakened
that the President had agreed to sign it.

fought shy Of the question, but when the
democrats began to bear down SO heavily ON
Grant as the author of the whole iniquity,
they could no longer in decency remain 81
lent The best they could do was to take
blame to themselves for not passing a bill
at the last session TO relieve Grant of this in.
cubus, and to promise the passage of bill to
order an honest election in Louisiana nj this
session. No one ventured to defend Kellogg
or the QiuXolic cavortings of Gen. Sheridan.
