The Senate ofthe Louisiana Legislature
failing to act on the charges of embezzle-
men brought against Auditor Clinton
before adjournment Governor Kellogg
has instructed the At.orney.Genera
to bring suit against Clinton and his
sureties. This is a healthy sign. 1t is
the first time that a Republican Official
in Louisiana has ever attempted or pre-
tended to investigate charges Of corrup-
ton brought against one of his "
party. The policy has been to %eonnive
and rob, divide and conceal. 1t is Ger.
tainly something new under the sun for
a csrpet.bag Governor to take any notice
Of stealngs, large or small, among his
subordinstes. Whether this is to be q
genuine prosecution remains to be seen.
II Kellogg is in earnes he will get more
credit for honesty Of purpose than has
reached his ears since he went into poll
ties, and there will be an unusual CON-
motion among the villains hat have fat
tened in Louisiana for the last six years.

Members of the Assembly who
have recently been home, report that
there is very little division among
the people of the rural districts in
regard to Louisiana affairs. Every
where the wise and prudent course
of the President in preventing blood
shed at New Orleans is approved.
At first, the Democratic falsehood,
indorsed, I am sorry to say, by Gov.
Allen, who, L think, means generally
to be right, that the military had in
terfered with the organization of the
State Legislature, somewhat con-
fused the public mind. Now that
the facts clearly show that the only
was to preserve order,
and to enable the Legislature to re-
gain control of their hall, of which
White League mob had taken pos
session, there has been great reae-
ton in public feeling. The frantic
rebel and Democratic abuse of that
brave and patriotic soldier, Gen
has contributed to the ef-
feet, and has aroused deep indigna-
lion among his old comrades in arms.

If the Democratic skull is not too
thick for an idea to enter, the follow
ing statement of the Louisiana case,
from the N. Y. Times, should awak-
en- serious thoughts of repentance
for their misrepresentation of the
facts:
This, beyond all doubt, is what
happened on the 4th of January:
The Democrats in the House-haying
as they alleged, fully organized the
the House-appealed to the Federal
troops to preserve order, the Speak
er officially declaring that he was
unable to do so, and that violence
would ensue if the military did not
interfere. This, then, is the very
state of affairs in which the Federal
Constitution makes provision for the
interference of the Federal arm.
The Democrats solemly alleged that
then constituted the House of Rep
resentatives, and the Speaker de-
clared that he was legally elected.
And, under these circumstances, they
appealed to the United States for
protection against domestic vio-
lence." In what position does all
this leave the Democrats? And what
right have they to declare that the
events of Jan. 4 were brought about
by Republican conspiracy?

That Democratic body known as
the General Assembly of Ohio IS
still in session. The amount of good
it has accomplished for the past

correspondence of the Cincinnati
Commercial:
1 thought of saying something,
by way of review, of the Legislation
adopted during the past week, but,
come to think of it, there has been
no legislation for the benefit OF the
State of Ohio worth mentioning, as
the two Houses have had their hands
full of Louisiana and Phil. Sheridan
and President Grant, and have used
up the past week paying off old
scores held by the Democratic party
against prominent Generals of the
Union armies, and in attempts to
manufacture political capital for the

Democracy, outside of some OF our
corrupt cities, are afraid to indulge
vigorously in patting the Southern
rebels upon their backs in commenda-

a faint recollection of having nibbled

great rebellion, and what the conse-

Correspondence of the New
Letter from Nebraska.
ELMwooD, CAss Co., Nebraska,
Jan. 13, 1875.


J. L. BoARDMAN-DEAR SIR:
take the privilege of sending you a
few items from Nebraska, believing
my friends in old Highland will be
pleased to hear from me through the
columns of your paper.
Your readers are no doubt gener-
ally aware that Nebraska is chiefly a
rolling prairie, with very little timber,
and no description of the country is
necessary. The weather here at this
time is very cold, the thermometer
standing at thirty degrees beloao zero.
The ground is covered with snow to
the depth Of about three inches,
hardly sufficient to make good sleigh
ing.
Our farmers are having hard
time this winter, owing to the visit
of the grasshoppers last harvest.
They arrived in Nebraska in time to
destroy all the corn, but a plentiful
wheat crop was garnered. Our
farmers are not discouraged, but con-
sole themselves with the thought |
that the grasshoppers do not come
every year.
Corn is selling at IS cents per
bushel, wheat 60 cents, and oats
45 cents.
The schools here are in flourish
ing condition, when we consider
that Nebraska is young State yet
Omaha, Lincoln, Ashland, Peru, Ne
braska City, and Plattsmouth, all
boast of good graded schools. The
State University is situated at Lin
,oln. This institution is so arranged
that young men attending the school
md not having means to pay their
BOARD, may work for their board out
If school hours, thus having no ex-
oense to bear except their tuition
md books.
The State Normal School is stu {
tied at Peru, in the southeastern {
part of the State, on the Missouri
River. In this school all are admit
ed free, there being no charge for
uition. Prof. Freeman, formerly of s
Kentucky, is the Principal of the I
ichool. This school is sending out I
eachers yearly to all parts of the
United States, west of the Missis-
ippi river.
In Cass Co. the district schools are
bout two miles apart, and average
rom twenty five to thirty scholars,
10 each district.
The religious people, outside ofthe
owns, are mostly of the Christian,
Baptist and Copgregationalist demon
nations. But in our cities and large
owns are seen fine Methodist and {
Presbyterian churches.
I will close my scribbling, hoping
,efore another "merry Christmas" to
,e with my friends in old Highland. :;
Respectfully yours, 8

it would be well, in the process of

House to be organized in lawful
and regular manner"

miss hearing this master production of
a literary genius. the Court House
will doubtless be crowded with citizens,
and large sum will thus be secured
for the poor and needy.
