CAPT. TALL, of the Coast Survey,
who has been stationed three years in
Alaska, has addressed to the Commits
sioner Of Education at Washington an
elaborate account of the country and it's
inhabitants. He reports that little prog
ress has been made in any direction since
that northern province came into our
hands, and that the condition of educa-
ton is especially discouraging. The
present condition of the natives is less
favorable than it was under the Russian
regime. Capt. Hall goes SO far as to in
innate that there is in Alaska no civil
law, no government, no redress for in
jury, no protection for whites or natives,
and no punishment for crime. An of
fender against the Revenue law can be
seized and sent 1900 miles for trial, but
the murderer of revenue officer could
not be punished. Capt. Hall pronounces
the Alaska Commercial Company more
powerful monopoly than the old Russian
company, and says that the natives are
practically the slaves of that company,
without protection or redress.

PERMISSION was recently ODCa1ned from
the Supreme Court at Madison to bring
suit in that court for an injunction to
restrain the city of Eau Claire from pro-
ceeding under the Dells bill that was
passed by the last Legislature. The
point mainly relied on is that it is not
competent for the city of Eau Claire to
go into the booming business, or any
other branch of industry, except to
carry on the municipal government.

THE COTTON FACTOR AND THE NEGRO
LABORER.


So the planter and the barometer do not
make all the cotton. There is labor en-
ployed in its culture and preparation for
market. We learn this authentic fact from
the report of the Cotton Exchange. In
Louisiana the picking of the cotton has
been postponed by san unprecedented
sickness among the laborers." In Ar
kansas it Ibid not begin as rapidly as de-
sired because Of sickness in certain coun-
ties" In Mississippi picking has been
progressing slowly, owing to wet weather
and an unusual prevalence of sickness
among the laborers." We learn from other
publications that the political disturbances
which have driven the negroes into the
swamps or assembled them together for
safety have aided the rain and the cpl
denies. In Tennessee and Alabama the
amount of sickness among the laborers
has diminished the prospective yield of
the crop.
The South is greatly indebted to the
organized cotton exchanges. For the
first time the interests of the planter
have representative. Heretofore all pub
lished cotton statistics were compiled in
the interest of the consumer. The cotton
exchanges have taken charge of the grow
ing crop, and publish authentic reports of
the variation in the condition of that most
sensitive and variable staple. 1t has a
most valuable influence in giving stability
to prices and checking speculative move
ment.
The cotton exchanges, however, have
fallen into one great error. They have
sympathized with Southern politics so far
as in effect to suppress the services of the
colored laborer. The politician has been
DESTROYS to repeal or annul the political
rights of the negro. He has argued to
show that the negro was ignorant, turbu.
lent, indolent and vicious. These PROPOSE
tons, if proven, might have convinced the
Northern philanthropists that they had pre-.
maturely bestowed upon this class rights
which they were incompetent to exercise.
The means which the White League DEM
ocracy have taken to nullify the negro,
show to civilization that the Leaguers are
themselves turbulent, and render it prob
able that if the colored people should
ever be deprived Of the right of suffrage
on the ground alleged against them, that
the Ku-Klux would be included in the
same disqualification. But the cotton
crop has always come up as grand refu-
tation Of the charge that the negro was
idle, thriftless and dissolute. Notwith-
standing, the reports Of the Cotton Ex-
changes give the credit Of the cotton and
sugar crop to the planter who ats with
his barometer on the portico, and 10
regulates the rainfall that it comes or Ia

WHERE ARE THE CONSERVATIVES

The lower law doctrine taught by the
Southern Democracy is at war with every
theory of republican obligation. 1t makes
every man "a law unto himself" in very
different sense to that in which it is com.
manded. This doctrine founded the Ku
Klux clubs and caused a stringent law for
the punishment of offenders. The prac-
tice of intimidating the voters ceased. 1t
was substituted by intimidation and assas-
sination Of public officers. The colored
voters were to be punished by discharge
from employment, and many of those
whom they elected were notified that they
had to resign, leave the country or take
the consequences.
This doctrine has been intrusted for
execution to men in good part without
regular employment and ready for deeds
of violence. They will do the bidding of
their political advisers, but are not con-
tent with the limited employment and
consideration afforded them. In the inter-
val between elections, with the murder or
expulsion Of officers elected, these Kali
mucks will make raids on their own &C.
count.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that Judge Steele fined several par
ties found guilty of carrying concealed
weapons, instead of sending them to the
Parish Prison, as the REPUBLICAN an
nounced would be the fate of all such
offenders without distinction. We do
not know who the parties are thus
escaping the pronounced policy of the
court; but whoever they may be, we re-
gret that they found sufficient favor or
influence to modify and perhaps break up
the only policy which will ever rid New
Orleans of the great curse so sternly
reprobated by the law. We shall watch
with some concern to see if these cases
were exempted from the rule by reason of
exceptional circumstances, or whether
they indicate q departure from policy
whose announcement won emphatic and
unfeigned approval from almost the en-
tire community.
