LETTER FROM GOVERNOR EcEAERY.

We have been kindly permitted to use the
following extract from private letter of Gov.
Nc emery to friend in this city. The Gov
ernor's search for q compromise in n orth
Louisiana bids fair to be quite as fruitless as
was that Of old Diogenes for an honest man
MONROE, La, March 10, 1879
Since my departure have been locking for
somebody who iavors the compromise, and |
have yet failed to find that somebody. SO
far as | can ascertain, the public sentiment
throughout all North Louisiana condemns the
course pursued by the Conservative Repre-
sentatives who voted for the compromise, and
she people have seen and conversed with on
the subject do not speak in the softest or
most complimentary terms when discussing
their action. If any people in the world
were willing and ready to endure and suffer
still longer, if necessary to vindicate and
uphold the great PRINCIPLES involved in the
elections of 1872 ard 1874, that people, as a
unit could be found in North Louisiana, and
believe that this sentiment pervades the
great body of the conserv ttive people of the
entire State, and the gentlemen who voted for
the Wheeler compromise will, sooner or later,
realize this important tact.
Your friend, etc, JOHN McENERY.

Oar guests of the Press Association Of
Indiana were rendered last evening hop at
the st. Charles Hotel, by the hospitable pro-
prietor Col. Rivers, and Judging from the
pleasant faces and sparkling eyes crowding

this recreation from the trials of travelling not
little. Rich tolettcs and gxaceiul forms
TILED the room. The daughters Of Louisiana
in rich brunette gliding between the rosy
beauties from Indiana in the mazes of the
,quadrille, made UP Kaleidoscope picture of
much beauty.
The dance was kept up until a late hour,
interrupted, however, by a delightful supper.

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1875-01-08

The Republic of Spain was very suddenly
wiped out last week, but in fact no Republic
ever existed there. A few leaders, without
other than usurped authority, called their
governmental Republic, but never gave the
people chance to rule, or to determine their
form of government, or to elect their rulers
But for year or two past the government
was called a Republic, ruled by aristocratic
and titled grandees. These waged war du-
ring the period of their authority against Il
part of the nation who recognized Don Car
los as king. Ten days ago, the General COM
manding the army in Madrid, the capital,
declared in favsr of Don Alfonso, boy Of
seventeen and son of the expelled Queen Is
abela, as King. All the arme. and states
men of the Republic" acquiesced, including
even the brawliug "patriot" CASTELAR, 1t is
also said part of the Carlist army will join
the forces of the new King. The govern
ments of Europe will all recognize him. in-
cluding the Pope of Rome, and the Carist
war will probably end. The Cuban govern
ment has also acquesced.
The French fraud calling ITSELF kepub-
lie, will sooner or later follow suit There
is no Republic there 0nd the government
known by that r.tine is only suffered to exist
while the rival monarchial interests hold
each other III allegiance. No important news
from other countries in Europe, unless it be
that several of the couptries have prohibited
the importation of American potatoes, for
fear the bugs would come along with them.

We are indebted to Gov. Hartranft for an
advance copy of the annual message, but
have room only for very brief synopsis.
The State debt is stated at $2i.5GS. .G3j 81,
and cash balance in the Treasury at 81 .054-
55l 60. There has been diminution of
revenue during the past year of over one
million of dollars, which the Governor says
is altogether to the benefit Of large corpora
tons. The establishment of industrial
schools and compulsory education by the
State are urgently advocated. lie commcnds
the new Constitution in guarded terms, APP
peals for more candor in the treatment ot
public men, deyote3 a chapter to banks,
saving funds and trust companies and desires
to prohibit them from receiving more than
six per cent interest and from paying inter-
est on deposits. He advocates the substtu-
tion of poll tax instead of tax upon occu-
pations, trades, &c, A commendable chap
ter on the propagation of fish follows and
and au act to prevent the waiver Of exemp-
ton laws is urged. Various other subjects
Of minor importance are treated of and the
message appropriately winds up with an APP
peal for Divine assistance for himself and
the Legislature.

While that huge but elegant monopoly,
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
Company, and its illegitimate bantling, the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company, are slowly and surely raising the
prices of coal to consumers, they have hau-
tily and dctatorially reduced the prices Of
mining, nominally ten per cent but in reali-
ty much more As consequence the mi
ners have struck, result possibly if not
probably desired by the msnopslists.
This country is fast coming to the point
where either the people or monopoles-yast
aggregated capial-must rule. The former
cannot but by the destruction of the latter,
or in other words by limiting their power to
the legitimate purpose Of their creation,
That purpose is only to enable a combina-
tion of individuals to prosecute such proper
enterprises as cannot be reached by unincor-
porated or personal energy-the corporation
in all cases to be closely confined to single
pursuit and to be permitted to hold only cs-
tate enough to carry it on. We do not pro-
pose in the present article to discuss ths sub
ject but merely to call public attention to
what is being done by powerful corporations
to crush the spirit and absolutely control the
great laboring interest Of the country.

Cash Pnliticlnna.

The late elections have ended the labors
of that class of politicians who "go for
cash."
The Democratic party must begin at once
to end forever the business Of those men who
have lived so long on "the cash" which they
ask, demand, or take for political service.
The curse of the Radical party, or rather
one of its curses, Was the gang Of creatures
it brought into life who where known as al
ways "going for the cash" Votes, bills, leg
islation, contracts were to be had for cash,
and these creatures were the agents to buy
or sell.
Offices were put up for sale and he who
had he most money was most successful,
"Put up your cash" was the demand made
ON every occasion TO every applicant for Of
fee from the man who applied for a police
mans badge to him who asked the nomina-
tion for Governor, Judge, or any other post
of high public trust
The Democratic party must now put an
end to this business.
Let the first question that is now asked of
candidate be, "did you put up your cash?'
and if it can be shown that he even propos-
ed to do it, defeat him on the spot.
No greater good than this could possibly
come out of the return Of the Democracy to
power. 1t would end the men and the par
ty lately known as 'the Radical gang,"--

The Constitutional Senatorial Question

The Harrisburg Patriot of the 9th instant
contains IN article purporting to be on edi-
torial, in answer to the constitutional que5
ton that has lately been raised, concerning
the eligibility of a member of the State Len
islature to an appointment rs United Se~cek
Senator Either the writer in the Patriot
has not seen the pamphlet on that subject,
and has attempted to answer it in the dark,
or he has totally failed to apprehend single
point contained in it, 1t is but natural that
those who desire Mr.. WallafAto be apr"int-
ed United Stakes Senator, Nsu'i consider
the argument of that pamphlet defective IN
several particulars" The writer says, "ln
the first place the United States Sen tor is
not anoouted, but he is elected by the repre-
sentatives of the people," and this simple
contradiction is the sole argument on which
he relies to overturn the weight of extracts
from the Constitutions of fourteen States, Of
the United States, and from the Articles Of
Confederation, all of which SHOW unques
tionably that an election,by State Legisla-
ture is an appointment. No one presumes to
say that election and appointment are synony-
nous, but any one who has carefully exam
ined the question cannot fail to say that an
appointment is consummated by electing an
individual to an Office. Election ia more
specifically employed to denote choice by
the people; appointment is used where the
power to choose is placed in the hands of
one or more persons, j.. e. representatives, by
the people. 1t is precisely in this sense that
these words are employed in the several con-
stitutions, &C., referred to. From this it
would seem chat some one else, rather than
the writer of the pamphlet, has "miscon-
ceivod the meaning and spirit of the Consti-
tuition"
The Pltrt0t champion says "the provision
Of the Constitution which is quoted for the
purpose of preventing the Legislature from
electing Mr.. Wallace to the Senate of the
United Senate Is in the exact language of
the Constitution of 1888" Not quite In
that Constitution, after the words "any civil
office under this Commonwealth" occurs
the following, (which shall have been ere
ated, or the emoluments of which shall have
been increased during such term" This
last clause il omitted in the new, which
makes quite another thing of it, The
remainder of the editorial is of too trivial a
character to deserve any attention, until tn e
last clause is reached. The writer fixes the
point that a United States Senatorship is
not held "under the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania" by asserting such as a fact.
Will the Legislature of the Keystone Q
State allow themselves 10 be bambo0zled by
aay such whipped syllabub as thisf Some
thing more than mere assertion or denial is
necessary in the discussion of question like
this Let there be fair argument and ful
examination, and if it be found that tn c
point raised by this "Rloomsburg publicist''
be well taken, then let the Fight preced ent
be established, no matter whom it m ay
decapitate.
The argument TO which the Patriot refers
Is published ON the first page of the Col LuM-
BIAN.

CONGRESS re-asscmbed again on Tuesday.
No business of importance has as yet been
transacted. The leading issue now pending
is the Senate finance bill. Having passed
that body by u party vote thossame result sub
stantislly will no doubt follow in the House.
The only relief the passage of the bill will
afford or good that i! will do will be in the
assurance such action will give that there is
to be no more Radical legislation on the
subject. In fact the most decided act of public
relief that this Congress can sdopt is to ad-
journ finally. Ii the people were once as
sured that it no longer existed, we believe
there would b. general revival of business
to large eXtcat, ~ there are no fears that
like mischieyous body can ever exist
again. But there is no hope of getting rid of
the concern before the 4th of March, when

The Bellefonte Republican can not whiten
Massachusetts, nor lift her from the position
of the least patriotic and therefore least re-
spectacle Of American States; nor can its
editor dignity King Calico with a black
skin. Sandwich Islanders are represented
to vary in shade from olive to lemon, and
the cross prodsced by Massachusetts, yam
kee and a Sandwich Island wench would
therefore scarcely be black; rather a blue
clay mud, or something more offensive. Nor
is the editor happier in his pronunciation of
Kalakaua-it is plainly Calico and can be
nothing else, however arbitrary the pronun-
citation of proper names. He was named,
as is usual with savages, from some circum-
stance attending his birth and Calico was
eminently proper considering his reputed pa
rentage and the promiscuous character of his
mothers loves. The peculiar spelling was
introduced only after the adventures who
control the Islands determined to make
king of him and does not bear the usual
characteristics Of native Sandwich Island
names.

Can il be Possible ?

1t is no wonder the people Of the United
States, those who work for a living, are ex-
cited over this subsidy fraud in Congress.
Can it be possible that Congressmen have
voted the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
a subsidy of TEN millions Of doilars' Yes,
that is So The first grant was five millions
of dollars. Then there was an additional
subsidy of five million dollars, making ten
millions of dollars of the peoples money Civ
en- to q corporation. No wonder we have to
pay taxes, tariffs, and stamps, No wonder
tea and sugar and coffee have to be taxed,
The poor man has to pay for the subsidies to
these insolvent corporations. We expect
one day to see ths people rise up to defend
their rights Commonwealth.

Senator Lewis in cauel, Of republican
Senators attributed the ruin o. his party in
the South to the bad character some of its
self constituted leaders aud to tn, iniqntous
civil rights bill. His allusion to he south
ern leaders could hardly have been 'egArdel
by Patterson, Spencer, Clayton, conoycr
and the rest Of that gang as reHectag on
them. In regard to the proposed increae Of
the regular army he declared that the Soth
could only be carried by the republican p,--
ty under its present organization by sending
down enough soldiers to keep the people
from voting, This seems to be precisely the
view taken by the carpet bag senators of the
matter in asking for the increase of the
army.-ErchaHge.

On the 26th ult., Mr.. Byerly, the business
manager of the New Orleans Bulletin, attack
ed eX-GOv. Yarmouth of Louisiana, on the
street with club The blows proving in
effective, the parties olinched and fel! to the
ground, Byerly on top. Yarmouth imme-
diatcly drew knife from his pocket and in
fiictcd four fatal stabs in Byerly's body. The
latter died in few hours and Yarmouth
was arrested, but was soon released on the
ground Of acting in self defence. There had
been no quarrel directly between these par
tics but duel was pending between War
mouth and Mr. Jewell, the writing editor
Of the Bulletin.
As a rule of action we certainly do ncs ap-
NWpye of killing newspaper publishers, but
if one man strikes another with club, and
loses his life in con7cquence thereof, we in
sist that he h;Hiself alone is to blame. The
act is p,c only brutal but murderous one,
and we know of no code of morals that re-
quires man to be battered nigh unto death
or run the risk of being entirely disabled or
killed before adopting even extreme modes
of defence. The attacking party rarely de
serves sympathy, and certainly not in this
case, even though he be a printer and a

PROPOSED NEW Liquor LAW IN OHIo.-
An act has been proposed in the Ohio Lcsis-
hture to repeal all acts restricting the trade
in intoxicating liquors, and to create new
system which, in brief, may be stated as
CLASSIFYING al places whore intoxicating
drink l. sold in. five classes, requiring them to
register and TO pay tax according to their
class; the tax in villages to be one-half the
rate in citi's; the tax running from 5000
year for places Of the first class, where all
liquors are sod, to $40 fer places of the fifth
class, "for tn sale of light malt liquor on
drausht, and soiawater mixed with liquors"
1t furthermore provides fines for selling
drinks except at iegstered places, and for
bids sale to minors or m credit, and makes
sellers liable for damages to the amount of
$500 in any one case.

1t strikes Us the Washburns are getting
a little too numerous. Here is one, with the
scriptural name Of Israel, wants to succeed
Hamlin, of Maine, in the Senate; another,
W. ID. Wa.hburn, of Minnesota, thinks he
could fill the seat of Senator Ramsey; anoth-
er, G. g. Washburn, would like to succeed
Carpenter, of Wisconsin; while a fourth,
L. b. Washburn, Minister to France, has
his eye on the Presidency. If these brothers
could be bough. at their actual value, and
sold at their own estimation, the man who
purchased and sold them would be as rich
as Jones of Neyada.-Erie Observer.
