Writing from New Orleans
to the New York Herald, Mr..
Nordhoff mentions, as an illus
tration of what the Louisiana
taxpayers have endured, that
the legislature, of 1869, which
sat a month, cost 5000, 100.
Each member is said to have
pocketed $1,000 for the ses-
sion, and it is related that a
single committee of the House
had 81 clerks, who were paid
$40 a day each.

Lieutenant Governor Nor
man j. Colman, of Missouri,
has this to say of the Texas
wheat crop.
We have just passed through
Texas from its northern limit,
and have bad a good opportu>
nifty to inspect the wheat crop
of that state. At the State
Fair at Houston, we met reps
resentative farmers from all
sections of the state, and talked
with them of the prospects for
wheat, and from our Observa>
ton and the best information
we can gather, we can state
there will be by far the largest
and best crop OF wheat har-
vested that has ever been pro-
duced in Texas. There is a
very large acreage sown, and
those that think the wheat
crop OF Texas does not amount
to much, will be greatly mista~
ken. We thought we were
pretty we'll posted in Texas
agriculture, but we found more
than ten times as much land in
wheat as we expected to find,
and a great many millions OF
bushels will be added to the
general product from that
state. 1t is already we'll head
ed, and in a week more the
noise of the harvester will be
heard in most of the wheat
fields of Texas. Texas is to
become a great wheat produc.
ing state, and thirty bushels
per acre is a very common yield

The white property holders in

the South who complain so bitter
~ of the disorganizatiOn OF labor
and the ruinous effects of negro
rule, will find the surest remedy
for these evils in conciliatOry and
pefsevering efforts to educate the
blacks to a proper understanding
of their own interests, which are
plainly identical with those of
their white neighbors. In some
sections OF the South this may re-
quire a great deal Of patience and
forbearance, since in many CON-
munities where the colOred ele.
ment predominates, the negro un-
der the teachings of their carpet
bag leaders have become exces
sively aggressive toward the
whites. But this should be as
cribed to the bad influence OF their
political teachers, who for their
own selfish purposes endeavor to
create strife between the races,
rather than to the disposition OF
the blacks themselves, who belong
to an atfectionate race, WHO still
naturally look to their old masters
for assistance and advice when
they are in difficulty, though the
terrorism exercised over them by
the secret leagues of the p0liti-
clans, and the lies that have been
told hem regarding projects to
reduce them again to slavery, may
have made them unyielding sup
por,ers at the polls OF candidates
for office who are the worst enc
mics of both races. That such a
policy as we have indicated can
be successfully pursued even under
the most untayorable circumstan
ces, experience plainly shows.

ware stolen therefrom. The Rev. Mr.. Mark

fact yesterday morning by Captain Flana-

aware of his loss the property was recov-

By frsmen returning from fire, and they,
suspecting the men, proceeded to take
hand, but the burglars understood the stu

The fire boys took possession Of the bundle
and handed it to Officer Schill, explaining
the capture. The articles were taken to the
sixth precinct stationhouse, and were yes
terday delivered to Mr.. Markham. The
name of the fire company making this for
tunate seizure was unfortunately not ascer-
tanned. Last evening Homer Bird, young
man, was arrested, as circumstances point

was promulgated. The Injunction which
had been asked for by Mr.. Van Hooten had
been dissolved, and nothing stood in the
way of perfecting the lease. Late in the
evening after the contract was signed and
delivered, Justice WHY issued rule nisi,
which was served on Mayor Leeds and the

that the writ was served too late to inter

felt secure. However, it lie possible that
