Tuesdays State Register, and sundry cor.
respondents of Chicago and other papers,
find ground for strong suspicious in late
movements of the republican leaders at
Springfield, that a conspiracy is formed to

L. s. SESATORs.-Thc senatorial contest IN
Minnesota ended on Friday of last week by
the election of Judge Mcmillan, chief jus
tlce Of the Supreme Court of that state. The
judge is a moderate republican, and admitted
to be man of ability. He was born in Fay

In West Virginia the three weeks squabble
over the senatorship ended on Saturday IN

The Ottawa Republican, we observe, Is
greatly alarmed at the election of Caper;on.
because he was a rebel during the war. We
don't see how this can be imputed as a fault
against Mr.. Caperton or the southern people
by the radicals. If they didn't want the south
to send any but scalawags and earpet.baggers
to congress, they ought not TO have passed
laws to remove the political disabilities of
such men as Caperton. Doubtless one of the
first movements of Caperton, on taking his
seat in the senate, will be TO offer resolution
to dissolve the Union and renew the war Let
an army be sent 10 the south Immediately, to
prevent the people from sending any more ex-
rebels TO congress or the senate

There are several rules for measuring corn
in the crib, but the most common is what is
called the twenty-eight-lnch rule; that is,
upon the presumption that box one foot
square and twenty. eight inches deep will hold
one bushe when sheled. THIS rule applies
only to the dent or gourd seed variety OF corn.
The cubical contents in feet are first ascer-
tanned, and this multiplied by three and di-
vided by seven, which will give the bushels
of shelied corn of fifty-sIx pounds. Thus
CRIB that is thrty-two feet long, eight feet wide
and thirteen feet high IN the average will
hold 1926 bushels, and two of them 1850
bushels 4 common wagon bcN, eleven feet
long and two feet high, would hold twenty
eight bushels of corn in the car Another
rule for the farmers boy is 10 reduce the con
tents to cubic inches, and divide by 4,0S2.
which will give him the bushels.-Toledo

The Joliet Sqa's Springfield correspondent
thinks the Illinois Legislature is in deplor
able condition, because it has reached the 9Th
week of the session and but two bills passed
and less than fifty on third reading This
is according as one views things Generally
speaking, the fewer new laws a legisla-
ture passes lie better. A long session of con.
gress seldom passes as many bills as shor,
session, and seldom does as much mischief
If our Legislature, after a session of three
months, adjourns with the addition of less
than 100 new laws TO the statute books. the
people will very likely have abundant reason
TO rejoice.

LOUISIANA.

Dispatches from Washington announce
that the Louisiana radicals and conservatives,
though failing signally at New Orleans in
all attempts to compromise their difficulties,
have succeeded in patching up a compromise
at Washington. Mr.. Congressman Wheeler,
of the treaty of peace and the chief instru-
ment IN bringing the parties together. The
main terms Of the agreement are, like those
proposed at New Orleans, that the conserva.
tives shall have their twentyeght honestly
elected majorty in the lower house of the
Legislature, and the state treasurer whom they
honestly elected; but that no steps shall be
taken by the conservative Legislature to dis
turb the present Kellogg state government or
impeach any of Kellogg's official acts, or to
deny his proper exercise of authority as gov
ernor during the balance of his term.
The compromise, although favored by
Grant, is said to have made the negro men,
bcrs ofthe Louisiana legislature whom il I'M
seats wild with indignation, while Kellogg
hiihoeii ioi' looeiiiouS, 'houSh ho u"io no'
run counter to the wishes of Grant. On the
other hand, it is equally distasteful TO the
conservatives, as it virtually continues in
Kellogg the power to cheat them at future
elections, On the whole, however, the con.
servatives confess that they cannot afford to
allow their enemies to say that they stand in
the way of peace, and bitter as the pill is,
will probably quietly swallow it.

From Washington.
THE DAWES REVENUE BILL

The house on Tuesday, after protracted
and laborious session, passed the Dawes bill
to add $50, 100000 TO the present taxation o
the country. The bill passed almost in the
exact form in which 1t was originally pre-,
sented by the ways and means committee.
The tax on whisky is raised frpin so to 80
cents; there is an increase IN the tax on wool
ems and some other goods, and the tax on sl.
gar is increased 90 per cent. A proposal to
restore the tax on tea and coffee was voted
down by large majority.
NEW FORCE BILL.
Contrary to general expectation, deermn.
ed effort was made on Thursday to force &C.
ton by the house on the caucus third term
bill for the southern states. The democrats
exhausted every filibusering expedlent they
could devise to prevent the bill from coming
before the house; but finally, after a contin
uous session of % hours, the bill was report,
ed and read II first time upon which the house
adjourned The bill, in its present shape,
however, is so monstrous, that i. is not be.
leved the radicals will dare to force il
through without very material amendment
MORTON's COUNTING SCHEME.
AS of piece with the force BILL the senate
on Thursday passed Morton's bill providing
a new mode of counting the presidential vote
The original bill was so amended as to de
prive 1t of its worst features, yet under it the
senate has startling powers to change the &C
tual electoral votes of states.
EXTRA SESSION.
There seems to be no doubt that congress
viii be able to get through with all necessary
business before The 4th of March, unless the
attempt is persistently made to pass the new
force bill. Much as the democrats dread an
extra session, they will hight that iniquity to
the last, though every appropriation bill may
be defeated. The President, however, seems
to want an extra session, and if he does, VIII
find ways to make 1t necessary.
PACIFIC NAIL.
Both houses have united in SO amending
the post Office bill as to repeal the subsidy OF
100000 year so corruptly voted in 1872 to
the Pacific Mail steamboat company.
PINCHBACK.
Poor Pinohback, having been thrust out OF
the senate, applied for admission to the house
on certificate Of election to that body given
HIM by Kellogg under the election OF 1872
The house committee voted that he was nc
more entitled to a seat there than in the sen
ate.

VALIDITY OF CONFEDERATE STATE
LAWS.

"CaN corporations created by the
laws of Confederate Legislatures be
recognized as having II legal existence,
with capacity to own cotton and to
sue in the Court OF Cisims:" This
question being before the United States
Supreme Court, it was held that:
All the cnactments Of the de .ttcto
Legislatures in the insurrectionary
States during the war, which We're not
hostile to the Union or to the authority
of the General Government, and which
were not in conflict with the Constitu-
ton of the United States, or of tho
States have the same validity us If they
had been cnactments Of legitimate
Legislatures, and any other doctrine
than this would work great unnecessary
hardship upon the people of those
States without any corresponding
benefit to the citizens OF other States,
and without any advantage to the
National Government.
This may now be considered an
established general rule. 1t would be
we'll for the General Assembly of Loui-
siana to cause the acts of the
Legislature which assembled in Baton
Rouge in 1862, in Opelousas in 1868,
and in Shreveport in 1864 and 1865, to
be republished. They We're regularly
printed in book form, but arc now
would not be admitted in courts, unless
recognized in some way by law. The
originals would probably be received
as authority on all matters coming
within the rule above quoted.

The Cincinnati Commercial il not
much impressed with the nominations
made by the Republican Convention
in Ohio. Referring to the action of
that body the Commercial says:
The candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor are not OF the
prickty persuasion as to Sunday, or
the Bible, or the Bottle. There is still
II chance for the fanatical to fight the
party. The candidates were chosen as
negations-tO cvadc, not to meet, the
rugged issues. Hayes is impressed be-
cause the squads of wirc-pullcrs
thought him The most prominent Of in
offensive citizens, and Tom Young is
expected to serve as oil on the troubled
waters. The nominations may please
the employees of the General Govern
ment, and seem to the country editors
of their party to represent the highest
wisdom attainablc upon earth but the
man for the hour was rejected not for
the sake OF any principle, or upon any
plea worthy of manhood, but through
a false pretensc of policy, and with II
false cry OF cxpcdicncy.
