ton. He remembered that many OF the
publican party condemned and denounced
the breaking up of the Louisiana legislature
Therefore, he must feel his way carefully be-
fore penetrating a kindred outrage in
Mississippi. But the people will soon
settle these Southern troubles without
the Intervention of the president. They
know that the Republican party has had
almost undisputed sway in that section of
the country since the close of the rebellion,
and that its reconstruction measures have
totally failed to pacify and unite the people.
These measures have not brought the peace
and prosperity their authors promised.
In fact, all the legislation OF the Republican
party on Southern affairs has been
prompted by hatred of the South and de-
sire to continue in Office the carpet-baggers
and scalewags that have nearly ruined the
finest portion of our country. Under the rule
of these men, the beautiful plantations In
those states where the sun shines
so warmly, have gone to waste.
Their cotton fields and sugar
farms are growing up in weeds and briars.
and where there should be peacs and plenty
is found poverty ard distress. The people
Of the North and West are realizing the fact
that a condition ofaffsirs that produces these
things Is not what they want, and that it
should pass away Radical domination
caused them; Democratic rule will remove
them; hence the mon of the whole country
have determined that the Republican party
shall no longer hold the power it has so
grossly abused. They are tired and dis
gusted at the annual return Of manufactured
outrages. and will soon place in power the
only party that can give peace and quietude
to that distracted section of our country.
California has spoken loudly to that effect.
Maine echoes the shout Of victory from the
Golden State and soon Ohio will take up the
refrain and add to 1t such song of rejoicing
over Democratic victories won as will carry
CONSERVATION and dismay to the ranks Of
that party which asks for confined power
in the interests CT class legislation and polit-
icsl debauchery.

The European wheat NJ arket.

Mr.. Alexander Delmar, well known in
this country, as a professional in statistics OF
high character, claims to have achieved re-
suit never reached before in estimating the
supply and deficit of wheat in all Europe
for the current year. He has prepared for
the New York Bulletin and published a
concise report of his conclusions, based on
Trustworthy data. The facts set forth are
of deep interest to the Uuited States, and
especially to the West. They bear directly
upon the prospect of the wheat market
for the coming year, by show
ing what the probable demand will be
in Europe for wheat to be imported, the
principal dependence being on the United
States. Granted that his statistics are only
approximately accurate, they determine one
factor of the market price, the demand. 1t
then only remains to ASCERTAIN wlat re-
sources this country has to meet the require
ment to form pretty safe judgment about
the price OF wheat, which, as before said, is
a question of commanding importance at
this time. Mr.. Delmar states that the
sources of his information are in
private correspondence of which he
organized complete corps In all
theprincipal continental countries while on
his official journey to Russia, in 1872, as a
delegate to the international Statistical
Congress. These data OF Information are
considered more trustworthy and accurate
than statistical Information obtained OFF,
cially under requirements of government.
Experience in this country sustains that
view. 1t is convenient to give here only q
few of the more important details OF Mr..
Delmar's figures, emitting the estimates by
which his results are reached. He
first takes up the Austro- Hunga-
risn Empire, and shows that

The Demand Of soy. Ames for Troops fu
Mississippi.

The letter of Governor Ames. of Missis-
sippi to The attornel general, published in
the Sentinel of yesterday, is a confession OF
the failure of the reconstruction measures
of the Republican party. Without insur-
rection, without rebellion or any internal
connection in the state, he asks that
federal soldiers be sent him, giving as a
reason for this request that the political
contest preceding the election demands their
presence. He has not the temerity 70 say
that these soldiers are needed to put down
instruction, for he knows there Is none,
neither does he claim that they should he
there to preserve the public peace, for he
knows that the public peace is In
no danger of being disturbed unless it be
done by men such as he, but he
wants them there on account of the ''po-
litical contest" now going on In that un-
fortunate state. He knows that il tho peo-
ple of Mississippi are not over-awed by fed
eral bayonets he and bis friends have 10
ops Of Office, and therefore, no chance to
steal the public money, for carpet bag oihce-
holders and public thieves are comfortable
terms, meaning one and the same thing.
His cry of "help me, Cassius, or sink" is
the wall of one who knows his days ofoffice-
holding are about to end, unless he can be
kept from political death by the interference
of power outside the state he pretends TO
govern.
Gov. Ames Is true type OF the Southern
csrpet-bagger. He was brought prominently
before the public on account of the war OF
the rebellion, and was educated ia The
school of Ben. Butler and other ststes-
men Of that class. cardinal
doctrine OF these statesmen Is that
the people Of a state shall not
be permitted to rule the state, unless 1t Is
done in the interest of the Republican
party. The second grand principle oil their
nolItical faith Is, that they steal ali the money

THE ROYAL DIADEMS.

AN ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE JEwELs OF TIN
ROYAL FAMILY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.
The London Daily News publishes the fol.
lowing with sensational interest, no doubt:
The southeastern division of the Bucks
police, under Mr.. Superintendent Durham
and Inspector Pearman. of Elton College, are
at present investigating very extraordi-
nary matter. About the 9th of this month
in order to permit some building operations
upOu the premises OF MIR. Goodman, the
boat-builder near Windsor bridge. the waters
OF the Thames were drawn off, lowering the
river by several feet While the stream was
thus lower than usual, man who was walk
ing near a back cut jjscent to Cuckoo Weir,
which is about hall a mile from Windsor
bridge, and on the B dcks side OF tbs river, OBJ
served piece of string fastened to the lower
branch of bush Overhanging the water
course. His curiosity was excited, and see
ing something attached to the string be
pulled il up, and found that it was gentle
mans Japan ed dressing case. Turning the
small KEY he opened the case, and found it
codtained large number of keys and other
things. He at once placed the case in the
hands of the police, and Mr.. Superintendent
Durham, upon examining Its contents, found
that in AL there were twenty-five keys, the
larger ones having been fastened in a bunch
at the top of the case. Upon one side of the
the medium-sized keys are the words,
"Equerries stables, 100 steps," and on the
other side the word, "Porter."
THE KEYS VARY IN SIZE
from such as would open gates. posterns,
aud room doors, to small ones fitting the
Jewel cases in the royal apartments of the
castle, Besides this extraordinary collection
OF keys, there were in the case pieces of wax
bearing impressions of the key wards, two
bottles of gold liquid, for smearing the keys
in order to ascertain the shape of the locks,
a box of vestas, and two large canvas money
bags, such as are used by bankers. One ap-
nsrently from the coin marks had contained
gold and the other silver. 1t is the belief of
the police authorities that the dressing-case
and its contents were intended to aid some
person or persons In effectiDg an entrance
from the'hundred steps to the private apart
ments of the palace occupied by her majesty
and the royal family, and to sweep off
the priceless jewelry. Whoever designed
this daring scheme has been frustrated in a
most singular way. Those who placed the

night favorable opportunity might arise for

At the late Texas Pacific Railroad

Sherman, Brauregrrd, and Johnston
were invited to seats on the platform,

tumultuous and long-continued cheer

These were the inquiries that it was the
duty of the commissary of police to make,
in pursuance of the French law.
But the witnesses, though numerous,
gave but little information.
The depositions Of the neighbors were
empty, incoherent, and unsatisfactory. No
body knew anything of the victim; she
was an entire stranger to the place. A
gardeners wife, who had been friendly with
the Widow Lerouge, and a milk-woman,
whom she dealt with, were the only people
who could give any information of pre-
else and tangible nature.
At last, after thres weary hours OF ques-
tioning and ross-questioning, after having
listened to all the vapid gossip Of the vii
lage, received the most contradictory evil

tattle, the following contained the only re.

Everything appeared, rs the commissary
bad already stated, to have been scattered
pelln,ell, as by the hands Of IL madman.
In the middle Of the room stood table
covered with q fine damask cloth, white as
the driven snow. At the farther end was
magnificent antique goblet of cut glass, an
ivory-handled knife md a plate. Next to
these was placed bottle Of wine, hardly
touched, and a bottle of brandy, from
which about five or six liQueu glasses had
been taken.
To the right, along the wall, stood two
handsome oaken presses, one on each side
of the window. Both were empty, and
their contents strewn about the floor. These
latter consisted of wearing apparel, linen,
and other articles Of clothing, all rllmpled,
unfolded and thrown in heap together.
At the other end of the room, near the
chimney, large cupboard, containing
crockery, was wide open, and next to it an
old secretary, with marble slab, had been
broken open, and then smashed in various
places, evidently with the intention of dis
covering its innermost grooves. The shelf,
half torn away. still h ng by single hinge,
