The elections which will he held
IN the State Of Ohio the coming fall
will be looked to with special interest.
Already parties are getting ready for
the contest. 1t appears to be gener-
ally conceded, that Gov. Allen will
be the Democratic nominee for re-
election. We find the following state.
ment, as to what the Republicans are
doing, in a special dispatch to the
Cincinnati Gazette, of the 22d:

TuURLow WEED has written n
characteristic letter to the New York
Tribune, in which he discusses the
extravaganza ofthe present generation
in these words:
There are 10000 New York ladies whose
costumes, when in full dress, cost at least
81 600 each. Fifteen years ago the same
number of fashionable ladies would have
appeared adorned quite as attractively at
an average expense of $3.50. Ten thousand
children under ten years of age are now
deliberately and fantastically srrayed at An
expense from 500 to $3.50 each, while
children of wealthy citizens, fifteen years
ago, were simply but appropriately attired
at an expense of $50 or S25 and it is pain
full to reflect that in consequence of this
lavish expenditure upon a class that never
earned dollar, there are other tens of
thousands without employment and suffer-
ing for fuel, food, and raiment and last,
though not least are the millions of gold
sunk by Americans who idle away both
their time and their money in Europe.
Ireland is not now the only country de-
moralized by absenteeism.
There is, no doubt, much truth in
this statement. If our people had
lived more economical since 1863,
there would have been less talk about
hard times in 1873.

GRANT AND THE LOUISIANA CON
sERvATIYES.
The President TeIIs Them what IL.
Would Have Done As Governor.


fhe President Tells Them what lie
Would Have Done As Governor.
The Washington Republican, of the
23rd, says:
Messrs. Burk, Zachary aud Leonard.
the Conservative committee from LON
isiana in the Interest of the proposed
compromise between the contendiny
factions in that State, called on the
President yesterday and were intro
duced by Col. Casey, Collector of the
port OF New Orleans. The President
received the committee very cordially,
and listened patiently to their state
ment. The committee asked the
President whether in case they should
agree to accept the Wheeler compro-
mise he (the President) would use his
influence to induce the Republican
party of Louisiana to keep faith with
its promises, they, at the same time,
frankly confessing that Mr.. Wheeler's
proposition was not exactly what they
hought they were entitled to.
In reply, the President stated that
he could not take official cognizauce of
the negotiations pending between the
conlending factions; but that he
would be very glad to hear that the
difficulties which had for a long time
marred the peace and prosperity of
Louisiana had been settled ON basis
to command the support of both of the
contending factions. The President
urther stated that be had every con-
iidence in the judgment of Mr.. Wheel
er that he was eminently a fair man,
and he had no doubt would do them
f1ll iDgffau T.,
versatiOn on the Louisiana question
the President remarked that, had he
been Governor of the ate, he would
at the first movement of the insubor-
dinates, have arrested the ringle 4ders,
and turned them over to the courts /;
and further, that ne would have faith
fully executed the sentences of the
courts that he would never have con-
suited his opponents as to what course
he should pursue, or as to what ap-
pointments he should make.
To which Major Burke, the spokes-
man of the delegation, replied Mr..
President, had you been Governor, the
troubles of which we now complain
would never have arisen" The Presi-
dent acknowledged the compliment,
and the delegation withdrew. Suisse
quently the delegation had an inter-
view with Mr.. Wheeler, and proposed
to compromise on the basis of his
original proposition, slightly modified
in accordance with their views. This
Mr.. Wheeler declined to accept, giving
the delegation to understand that they
must accept his original proposition
otherwise he would drop the matter.
After further consultation among
themselves, at late hour last night, il
is understood, the delegation have con-
cluded to accep; Mr. Wheelrr's propo-
sitiOn, and the matter vii, accordingly
be settled to- morrow.
There is no sort of doubt but what
proper measures will he taken 10 en-
force the acceptance of this settlement
by both Of the conteuding factions in
Louisiana.

White League organization, whose
highest ambition is to murder unpro.

murderers and assassins we cordially
endorse. Hemp is an indispensable

aspire to leadership in the Republican

Our Nashville special Of yesterday
gives q brief synopsis Of a circular
jusj issued by Treasurer Morrow,
wfjoh is anything but cheerful read
arg. He fixes the total Indebtedness
of the State at S25,89O,9O4. He es-
Inmates that to meet the interest and
pay the current expenses Of the
State will require for this year 81
G55.592. With the present rate Of
taxation he estimates u deficit Of
s230.5s1. We alluded TO this ele-
phant occasionally last summer,
and urged upon the people to elect
none but capable men to the Legisla,
Uure. Uur auvlce was not taken IL
every instance, and the result is that
we have a Legislature wholly unable
TO grapple with this question. We
are sorry that it is true.
