THE SOUTHERN INVESTIGATING COMMIT
TIES. The congressional investigating COM
mittees in Mississippi and Louisiana have
been busiy employed for week or more
past, in examining into the causes which
have led to the disorganized condition of af-
fairs in those States In Vicksburg, the recent
outbreak is directly traceablc TO the negro
sheriff Crosby and Governor Ames and the
ring of dishonest officials with whom they
have been acting in concert. The taxpayers,
Republican as well as Democratic, objected
TO Crosby holding the Office of sheriff, for the
reason that he could give no bond for the col.
lection of taXcs-shelifs in Mississippi, be.
ing collectors of lakes. Crosby, Mt the dc.
mand of the citizens, resigned. The negroes
and carpet'baggers cndcuvored to rc-inslate
him; hence the collision.
In New Orleans, the committee, consisting
of lIessrs, Potter, Phelps and Foster. have
heard n mass of testimony, which Showed
that under the administration of Kellorg and
his co-conspirators things have been going
from bad to worse Taxation has increased
to an enormous extent, until property can
not be rented for enough to pay the taxes.
Thousands of people are DESTROYS of leaving
the State, but are too poor to do 50. Bust
ness is at stand-still and there is an utter
want of confidence in business circles. 1t
seems plain that Kellogg and his band are
not the choice of the people of Louisiana,
and are only kept in their places by the pow
or of federal bayonets.
The committees, when they conclude their
investigations, will report to Congress.

General Sheridan's inqiuitous course at

THE END OF THE Republic OF SPAIN
The Spanish republic had but Il short life,
and withal not merry one. 1t has suddenly
ceased to exist by the restoration to the
throne of Alfonso, son of ex-Queen Isabella,
with the title of Alfonso XII He has been
recognized by the armies of the late republic,
and also very generally by the Spanish peo-
pie. The Captain General of Cuba tele-
graphs TO him the adhesion of the "ever faith
full ISLE and it is more than probable that
the young King-for he is only seventeen
years old-will be recognized by the Europ-
can powers and the United States. Unhappy
Spain is constant to one thing never but if
King Alfonso can succeed in putting stop
to the business of cutting one another's
throals, the Spaniards will be much better
under his rule than undera so called republic.
