The whole affair is fitted to disgust the
American people with Louisiana and all that
pertains to it. The people of that state ap-
pear to have lost all capacity for self-govern-
Eent. The constitution of the United States
seems no longer applicable to their condition.
They show themselves to be capable of no
government but that of military force. wheth-

Congressman Schumaker's' performance
before the Pacific Mail committee disgustsd
the Democrats and Mr.. Beck said to him
bluntly as they were leaving the committee
room, "Wel, Schumacher, am bound to say
you have made an ass of YOURSELF"
The effect of those dispatches from the
lieutenant-general reaches beyond his own
reputation. They seem to say to the people
that they are not to expect justice from tie
national government. Living under what
they honestly believe 10 be an usurpaton, they
are notified that, if the military commander
of the department can have his way, all who
protest against the usurpatiOn will he treated
as outlaws. As they know that Sheridan
either fails to understand the situation or
misrepresents it, they can have little respect
for the government which sends him there.
They do not hesitate to charge him with fal-
styling the situation, and the number and
standing of those who protest against his
statements give the greater weight 10 their

time of the manufactures, and the disposal
of the stocks in the hands of New York mer-
chants, have brought the market into a
healthful condition, and prepared it for
rapid improvement in all its branches when
renewed activity springs up. This is view
of the situation that the business man has
the best of ground for taking; and from
which he can gather justifable hope for the
future, even though his balance sheet for the
year 1874 does not show that large sum OF
profit which it had displayed on previous Jan-
uarys.-N. Y. Times.

the passage of law declaring that state

1t is folly to assert that life is as safe and
personal rights as much respected in New Or

NEWSPAPERS, with their accounts of duels and
deadly encounters between men of influence

not Worcester Spy.

exceptions to the charge that the office of
General Inspector in the Kittery Navy Yard
is sinecure. He quotes the statement
made by the late commandant of the yard in
his letter to the Secretary of the Navy, and
SAYS:
Now but very few persons outside Of Navy

ceiyed and used by the Yard during the year.
In the months of August and September the
greater portion of contract articles are re-
ceiyed, but more during some months than
others. The General spector's duty is to ex-
anime every article that comes into the Yard,

THE Intercollegiate Literary Association
is already addressing itself to the work Of the
contest next year. The addition of COM
petitive examinations in the classics and
mathematics 10 the contests in oratory and
ESSAYS has been determined upon, and in
time examinations will be established which
shall cover the whole field of academic cul-
ture. The classical examination next year
will be based upon Greek play, and the
contestants will be required to translate at
sight from some Greek author into English,
and from some English author into Greek.
The examination in mathematics will be in
analytical geometry. Any college may enter
the Association. If more than eight colleges
send contestants, the number will be limited
to one from each college; but eight colleges
or less can send two contestants apiece. 1t
is proposed to form state associations, and
send the victor in state contest as state
representative to the intercollegiate contest.

CERTAIN Western papers are, in view of
subsidy legislation, beginning again to talk
about be necessity Of providing cheap and
easy access to the untold millions of dormant
wealth in our Western territories. The
argument is a weak one; for the wealth
appears to be so very dormant that the last
trump can't awaken it,-much less loco
motive whistle. The aid plains of the
Northern Pacific give no promise OF agrieul-
tural wealth. So long as the farmers of
Illinois find it difficult to sell their crops for
enough to cover the cost of production and
transportation, it is useless 10 attempt to raise
corn for market in the frost-bitten belt
thousand miles beyond. The existence of
mineral wealth is doubtful, and certainly a
great transcontinental railr Dad is not needed
to work the mines.

DEMOCRATIC state committees are sound
ing the ponderous hew-gag all over the
country, and sending out calls for indignation
meetings on the Louisiana affair. A little Of
this indignation can with great propriety be
visited upon the New Orleans White League,

entertainments, to which people are invited
irrespective of party" some sound advice
may be given to the Southern malcontents.

IT is to be hoped that the sewing machine
monopolsts who are now besiegng the COM
mittee rooms of the national Capitol, petit
tioning for renewal of patents, will be sent
away with very large fleas in their ears. The
poorer classes, working women especially, are
deeply interested in this matter. Already the
patent, which is simply for feed attachment,
has yielded millions in the shape of royalty.
Should the extension be denied, sewing
machines will soon tumble to twenty dollars :
sum which will then leave fair margin Of
profit to the manufacturer.
