NEW ORLEANS.

Toe Republicans Dissatisfied With the
sub-COmmittee's RepOrt-The Radi-
cal Programme for the Coming Com.
mittee.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 16.-The following
is from a Republican source:
The Republicans assert that TIE report Of
the Louisiana Subcommittee goes outside
the record, and that no testimony was
brought before them to show the funding
Of Illegal legislative warrants, displace-
ment Of judges by kellogg, on the seizure
Of arms by the police without process of
law. They assert that specific evidence
will be adduced 10 disprOve these and other
allegations Of the committee, which they
say are based solely on the brief of the
Democratic counsel.
The PicdRule says: "At the State house
Kellogg has been clOseted with Packard
and few Of the leading spirits Of the
Radic Il party, supposed for the purpose Of
consultation to devise the ways and means
Of bringing as many witnesses as possible
favorable TO their side before the COngres-
siOnal Committee. The plan, as understood,
IS 10 summon one prominent Republican
from each parish, with accidental witness
from particular points.

THE Cincinnati Commercial says of
the report made by the Subcommittee
from New Orleans:
The iniquities o, the Returning
Board are fairly stated, showing that
the Democracy were clearly entitled to
the majority of the Legislature, and
counted out by a process that was un-
questiOnably fraudulent. 1t is a pity
that the Democracy did not allow the
case to 60 before the country unincum-
bered By their strategy on the 4th inst,
which placed them legally IN the wrong.
Is it no pity that the great and good
United States, through its presen- un-
worthy Chief Magistrate, used It's
troops to consummate "the iniquities of
the Returning Board?"

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-A Boston dis
patch states that the Fanueil Hall meeting
TO protest, as the call had it, against the re-
cent outrage on the Louisiana Legislature,
was not by any means a harmonious affair.
After The advertised speakers had cOnclud-
ed their addresses, loud calls were made
for Wendell Phillips, who, by invitation of
the chairman of the meet NJ, made his
way to the platform amid a tumult
Of applause, shouts and hisses.
He made somewhat long
address, although frequently interrupted,
asserting that President Grant and Gen.
DeTrobiand complied with every requisi-
tiOn of the Constitution and the law. As
a citizen Of Boston, he protested against
the adoption of the resolutions. Ny
anxiety was not for the Administration,
but for the oppressed people Of the South.
Should you pass these resolutions, the
blood Of one hundred black men and of one
hundred white men would BE- on your
skirts. Four millions of negroes were
called into freedom to save the nation, and
now you refuse to allow the President to
protect these persons Who were brought
into this condition Of danger by that very
act Of the nation.

How is this for Pedigree.

A very searching Investigation was
carried on Il few years ago, in in the
north of England, by two families who
were searching up their respective an
cestry.
The strife was great between them,
each one determined to look back into
antiquities farther than the other.
One of the families, whose name was
Spencer employed an artist to paint a
historic scene representing the building
OF the ark, and the loading up of the
ship by Noah and his sons with its mul-
tifarious and various cargo.
Upon the gang-plank leading to the
deck of the ark, two men were seen
rolling up large box, on one side OF
which was painted in large letters,
"Relics, insignia and papers belonging
to the Spencer family.
This was considered a coup d'etat,
hard to beat, but the other family, de-
terInined not to be OutdOne in the an
tediIuvian pretenses of their name,
prepared at great cost and research a
record of their antiquity.
In describing the exploits of one of
their ancestors, at a very early day,
who was represented asa man OF some
authority, this remarkable passage &C.

Raising Potatoes.

1t is generally supposed that potatoes
should not be planted, at most, more
than twice in succession on the same
ground. We know of an instance where
the ground has been planted for over
ten years in succession, and last year
bushels of the potatoes weighed a
pound apiece.
Put only one eye in place in drills,
six or seven inches apart and three and
half feet in the row. A light sprinkle
of manure every year was made on the
ground, and the tenth crop was as good
as the first.
