Hon. c. F. Clarkson, the agricul-
tural editor of the State Register is
in attendance on the session of the
National Grange, at Charleston,
South Carolina. In a recent letter to
the Register, Mr.. Clarkson thus
speaks Of political feeling in the
South, as he has observed it:
The upper crust of white popula-
ton here are not in the least resign
to the situation. They have not the
conviction that the present status Of
the negro, poliucall y and socially, is
an established thing. They say, and
evidently believe, that so soon as
they again have Democratic Presi-
dent, things will be righted accord
ing to their notions. And they say
the Democracy of the North is with
them in sentiment and sympathy.
They are sanguine that by some no.
Gus pocus, the negro will be again re-
stored to servitude, for which they
think they are only capable. But
these people never propose to secede
again. They are now for the union,
but believe that by terrorism in the
South, aided by Northern Democra-
cy, they will gain control of the
Government, when they will make it
so warm for Northern Radicals that
they will rebel, when they propose
showing the North the sweets of be-
ing whipped into submission. This
is no sensational paragraph. This is
the idea here, and is talked of freely.
Last week, when we were in Rich
mond, Va, the State Grange was in
session. We conversed with a stur-
dy, industrious Patron, a member of
the State Grange, living some sixty
miles southwest from Richmond.
He said the South was ripper for re-
bellion than it was in the fall of 1860.
But he said they did not propose to
effect their object this time by going
out of the Union, but by driving out
the radicals, and then by the aid of
the strong arm of the National Gov
eminent, whipping them into submits
sion. This man said this was their
plan-that it was freely canvassed in
his region in private clubs and pnb
lie discussions, and that he desired
only to live long enough to see it.

TIE Conservative is so fond of
quoting the Chicago Tribune in mat
tiers of fact and opinion, perhaps it
can find place for the following short
item from Il recent issue of that pa
per:
1t is understood that Democratic mem
bers of Congress telegraphed frantic dis
patches ID the fire-catcrs at New Orleans
to prevent the adoption of the proposed
at all hazards, as it would de-
stroy their political capital in trade in
Louisiana. They telegraphed to keep the
wounds open and prevent peace
and reconciliation between the parties.
They were greatly frightened at the pro
spective loss of grievances, and seem to
have labored successfully in maintaining
the state of confusion and disorder

New York Hotels.

New York is the city of magnifi-
cent hotels. But few people know or
understand, however, the qualities
necessary to the management of .
tirst-class hotel in New York. Great
tact, rare judgment, fine nerve, and
what the Rev. Robert Collyer calls
"true grit" all must be displayed in
the successful management. Some
times all these fail, but perhaps the
most notable instance of immediate
and permanent success is found in
the steady and increasing popularity
of the Grand Central Hotel, on
Broadway, New York. Combined
with its management, to a great de-
gree, the Grand Central owes its fine
success to the liberal plan of adjust
ing its rates according to the location
of the room occupied. This, with a
bill of fare hardly equaled by any
hotel table in New York, six meals
per diem, is secured at the rate of
from $500 to $4.O0 per day, accord
ing to choice in selecting the floor
desired.

The Louisiana Investigating Com
mittee have returned to Washington,
and their report will be given to the
public in few days. Their work
has been most thoroughly and con-
scientiously performed, and they have
spared no effort to arrive at a correct
knowledge Of the condition of affairs
in that State. Their investigation
has pursued no narrow channel, nor
have they been afraid to hear the
whole truth, or to rigidly sift all tes-
tlmony submitted to them. What
ever may be the tone of their report,
these facts are established. The
committee have not yet given any
official exposition Of their views, but
enough is known to indicate that on
material points they arc radically diff.
ferent from those expressed by the
Foster committee after a superb
cial and one-sided investigation
The Chicago Zri6one's special from
Washington says:
st is known privately, that the
Republican members of the Commit.
tee, who were suspected of Conserva-
tism, are outspoken in advanced Re-
publican sentiments. They say that
the terrible condition Of affairs of
Louisiana cannot be descri6ed.-
There is practically no Government
there. Kellogg they find weak
rather than wicked. He has no
strength, and could not maintain
himself a day if the troops were with
drawn. Sheridan Is despised by the
White League element, but his pres
ence has good and perceptible eff
feet. The best element among the
Conservatives favored the first pro-
position of compromise, but they did
not dare to openly advocate their
sentiments, and were overawed by
the controlling clique. The donai-
mant force of the democrats is a
small cabal of acild, violent, reckless
men, who control affairs throughout
the State. They can dictate to the
masses, and manage them for danger
GUS purposes. Their influence is such
that the best Conservatives dare not
speak. 1t is noteworthy that the Re-
publican members of the Committee
are much less conservative on the
question of the proposed suspension
of habeas corpus than some Of their
associates here. They seem to think
that some additional Legislation is
necessary to keep in check the dan
gerous classes"

JowN B. DRAKE, proprietor of the
old fremont House for 20 years, has
assumed control Of the Grand Pacific
Hotel, Chicago, and has associated
with him in it's business and manage
mcnt, his old standby of the Ire
mont, Samuel w. Turner, and Il. b.
Gaskill, of the Revere House, Rosv
ton.
No stronger combination Of hotel
men, or one more certain to command
the confidence and patronage of the
great public could be made in this
country, and, taken in connection
with the unsurpassed accommoda-
tons and appointments Of this grand
hotel, and the reduction in prices to
So and $3.50 per day, to meet the
times. 1t is easy to predict for the
management most tlattering and
substantial success.

CONGRESSMAN SHANKs, of Indiana,
was the man who offered the extract
for the Democratic platform of 1872
as preambleto the Civil Rights bill,
whereupon the New York World de-
clairs that Mr.. Shanks was guilty of
s'the most impudent thing done in
the House that day" Well, perhaps
it was little trough" thus to bring
the Democracy face to face with a
record they are now repudiating and
to remind them of dishonest declara-
ton of principle, made with the sole
view of catching Republican votes,
but in consideration of the light
thrown upon the consistency Of that
party, the "impudence" of the act
will be readily condoned.

The Dubuque Herald is apparently a
good deal excited over the "nigger ques-
ton" as seen through the Civil Rights bill.
1t evidently has negro on the brain. 1t it
could only get little more brain ON the
negro problem, it might be happier
Davenport Gazette.
In the cause in which the Herald
is interested, brains are entirely su-
perfluous. The one potent weapon
which the Democracy has always
found best suited to its hand, and
which it yields Oh all occasions, is
prejudice.

EXAMINATION of the causes for the
failure of the effort to compromise
the difficulties in Louisiana shows
that it is due in a large degree to the
influence of the Democratic leaders
in the North, who desire no present
settlement of the points at Issue, but
would rather that the reign of an
archy and bloodshed and public dis
order should continue. These cor
rupt leaders, ambitious for political
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, would make the
Louisiana imbroglio do service in
the campaign of 1876, and therefore
they will use all the influence they
possess with their political brethren
in Louisiana to have them reject any
fair compromise or arrangement that
will give peace to the State and re-
lieye the Government from the nee
cssity for preserving order. They
are unwilling to be deprived of a pre-
text for bowling at Grant and Sheri-
dan, and torturing plain and impera-
tive though disagrceablc acts of du-
ty into usurpation and tyranny. But
the people will know soon enough
who it is that is defeating peace and
<,bstructing Justice in Louisiana, and
the unscrnpulous Democratic leaders
will not profit by their scheming.

O1SESOAs
One of our subscribers hands us a
copy of the Drovers' Journal, with q
request that we publish a letter there
in. from an Illinois man travelling on
the Pacific coast, said letter being
we'll calculated to make farmers in
this middle region contented with
their lot and to subdue any inclina-
ton to remove to the far west. The
correspondent referred to, after Civ
ing an account of his travels in south.
ern California, which he pronounces
too rough and mountainous, and de.
scribing his trip to Portland, Oregon,
says:
After stay of a few days in that
city, we took the railroad for Albany.
AT the latter place we purchased
horses and have been travelling over
the Willamette valley ever since
This country is good for raising small
grain, such as wheat, oats, and barley,
but not for corn growing. The
apples and pears here are the finest l
ever saw. This valley is some l75
miles long and about sixty wide, with
the Cascade mountains on the east
and the Coast Range on the vest

runs its entire length, and is naviga-
BILE to Eugene City, distance of
about 100 miles. Our object was to
look at the farming portion Of the
State. This country has been badly
overratcd in that particular; the land
IN this valley is rather whitish and
poor, and not to be compared to the
lands of old Illinois. This valley
and the Umpqua and Rogue River
valleys embrace about all the good
farming country in the State. Land
that can be cultivated is held at very
high prices here, say from twenty-five
to fifty dollars per acre. These val
leys are thickly covered with butes
(small mountains), as the natives call
them, some covering only small
section, while others cover many
miles square. Snow can be seen at
all seasons of the year, from this val
ley, on the highest peaks of the Cas-
cades. The weather has been mild
and warm here, since our arrival, I'M
til within the past two week, it has
since been very cold; snow fell to
the depth of one foot, and the rivers
blocked up with ice, so that navi ga

may protest, the party must go with
the South. The Democrats of the
North might have prevented the re-

One of the witnesses who appear
ed before the Congressional Commit
tee in New Orleans for the purpose of
explaining away the terrible features
of the Coushatta massacre, has come
to grief. His name is T. w. Abney,
and he is leading Democrat Of that
Parish. In giving his testimony be-
fore the Committee, he used the word
"we," in referring to the White
League. Mr.. Frye, Of the Commit
tee, took notes of the testimony, and
upon the cross examination Of Alb
ney, SO pressed him that he convict
ed himself of being the leader of the
gang that murdered Twitchell, Dew
ees and the colored Republicans.
Upon these admissions Abney has
been placed under bonds of $4,000
to appear before the next term of the
United States District Court, and
from information disclosed III his tes-
timony, warrants have been issued
for others Of the gang. So MIR. Alb
ney's testimony for the White League

We fear that the Republicans of the
lower House in Congress have been trim
ming cudgels with which their own backs
may yet be made to smart. They have
changed the old rule by which minority
makes itself felt in legislation with the use
of what is called "dilatory motions. -
This is all very well for 'us folks" now,
but after the 4th of March when the De-
mocracy will have majority, We shall be

The effect Of the new rule in the
next Congress was fully taken into
account by the Republicans Of the
House, and it was adopted with this
consideration in view. 1t is wise
and just rule, and it is source of con-
graduation that the Republican ma
jority had honesty enough to do a
right thing, even though it might be
used to their embarrassment in the
future. We hope that Republican
representatives will never start a tune
that they are not willing to dance to.
