THE Misunderstanding commit
/ tee in New Orleans have had before them
Col. Harry A. Morrow, whom Gen. Sher-
man has highly commended for trustwor-
thiness. Among other things Col. M. tes-
tified': '1 have been through Coushatta,
Lincoln, Washington and Caddo, and all
parishes to the north of Red river, and have
never heard any citizens express hostility
to the United States. | attribute the un-
certain condition of the State, IN the first
place, to a deep seated opinion on the part
Of the people that they have been defrauded
OF their rights at the elections secondly,
that they feel themselves to have been i'm
posed on by some of the processes of law.
There is also a feeling on the part Of the
people that is more imaginary than real in
relation to the negro. They do not regard
the black man as exactly entitled to the
position that he occupies. For instance, i'm
the parish of Natchtoches jury of black
men, not one of whom could write his
name, had sat in a case involving $3.50, 900,
that was regarded by both parties as some
thing that was not right. | found else
where that there was an opinion that col
ored men had been placed in positions of
more Importance than their education en-
titled them. | talked freely with all classes
of people in relation to the negroes, aud
thinking at that time that the election here
bad been carried by the Conservatives, /
Wds anxious TO KNOW what effect 1t would
have on the condition of tho black man,
whether the power they bad acquired would
be nsed to Cypress him or whether he would
be allowed to go forward and enjoy privi-
leges guaranteed to him by the general laws
of the land and the constitution. With few
exceptions L was answered that the negro
would have none of his rights taken from
him. These rights would be guaranteed
him that there would be no effort to cur
tail them in any respect. There were ex-
ceptions, where it was said that the darkey
would have to take a back seat, but as a
rule the best class of people Il could name
some of them if necessary expressed the
former opinion
Mr.. Zacharie-From your observations
throughout the State do you think that if
under free and fair election, Republicans
of ordinary ability and honesty were elect
cd would tue people submit to officers so
elected.
Col Morrow do believe so, for The rea-
son that in Natchitoches parish the sheriff,
being fair man and fairly elected, told me
that there was 10 disposition to interfere
with his work.
Mr.. Zacharie-Did Conservatives ever
claim more than they were entitled to be
indicted into offices to which they were
elected
Colonel Morrow-They claimed nothing
more.

The Secretary Of War has sent to the
House of Representatives the reports of tho
Quartermas.ei General aud Commissary
General of Subsistence, from which it ap>
pears that the cost To these departments of
tho hodoo war amounted to four hundred
and eleven thousand dollars. We suppose
that this is only tithe of the whole sum
which it cost the government to overawe
Captain Jack and his ragged 'banditti'' of
the Oregon lava beds into submission.

WE were in error last week in stating
that Carpenter, of Wisconsin, had been re-
elected to the U. s. Senate. Althoug Il
nominated by the Republican caucus, his
election still hangs fire i'll the Legislature.
Oh CO urse no Democi attic me Der will touch
hin. and the Republicans themselves must
unite the Gordian knot, if they can. Pre-
cisely the SAME state Of things exists in the
Minnesota Legislature, about twenty rad>
ical refusing to vote for the recollection of
Ramsey, the Republican nominee. In
West Virginia the Democratic majority for
,everal days past have been patiently try
ing to select a candidate from among half
dozen unknown and obscure men, but
thus far without success.
p. 5. On the ele verth ballot, taken on
"Wednesday morning, Carpenter was de-
feated by Hon. Angus Cameron, the vote
standing Cameron 6S, Carpenter SO,

BEFORE the election last November Mr..
Dawes, the chairman of the committee of
ways and means, and Mr. Garfield, the
chairman of the committee on appropria-
tions, declared iE congress that the revenues
would be twenty-six millions of dollars in
excess of necessary expenditures. The
same illustrious persons are now bending
their energies to the devising of new taxes
amounting to forty millions Of dollars to
make Ell ds meet.

JOINT RESOLUTION passed both bran ch
cs of the Legislature last Friday. fixing
the 18th of March as the day for final adj
j)urnment. This resolution would have
been all right and entirely CO );abe 10 the
people were it not that it has rail to il in
the following words, ''to meet in adiourned d
annual session Oh the first Tuesday ef
January, 1876" Under u clause in the
new constitution it is in the power of the
Legislature to provide sor holding these
adjourned annual sessions untif1S7S. but
not afterwards, If so important a resolus
tion as this gave rise To- any debate in either
of the two branches, as it is natural to sup-
pose it should, the report Of their proceed
ings utterly fails to show it. and it would
seem to have been adopted without dis
cussion. To hold an adjourned session
next January was not what the peoDle
bargained for when they adopted the new
constitution. What valid reason can he
assigned for it None thatve can possilIv
M agine. II the Legislature cannot finish
It's business by the 18th Of March, which
the adoption of this resolution admits the
people would infinitely prefer that it should
remain IN session unit! tie 18Th of Ami,
rather than that il should meet again next
January. fhe movement is uuwise and
without necessity. The Democrats of th,.
House seem to be sadly in want of leader
The mover of the resolution was the Re-
publican manager Of the House, and it is
surprising how gracefully the Democrats
danced 10 his music.

ANoSG the list Of delegates from Phias
delphia TO the next Democratic State Cons
veution we find the names of William Nc
Mullen, Lewis c. Cassiday and William V.
McGrath. 1t is notorious fact that
these three men, with others of the same
stripe, while Os;ensibly acting with the
Democratic party, are it's most insidious
enemies and as a general rule exert their
influence to secure the defeat of its can
didates. To send them to q convention to
nominate candidate for Governor with
the almost absolute certainty that they will
oppose his election, is an insult to the De-
mOcracy Of the State. They belong to
William B. Mann's political household and
have no sympathy with, nor are they re-
cognized by, tie genuine Democracy cf
Philadelphia. Sam JOsephs trains with this
guerilla crowd, and it would have been in
accordance with the ''fitness of things" is
the virtuous Samuel had been elected as
one of their colleagues. The Democracy
of Philadelphia must rid themselves Of this
piratical crew if they wish to maintain the
integrity of their organization and preserve
the respect Of their political brethren
throughout the State.

FIRST class row occurred in the House
at Harrisburg during last Monday nights
session, growing out Of the refusal Of M
Wolfe, Republican member, to take his
seat when repeatedly ordered TO do so by
the Speaker, Who decided that Wolfe was
out of order. On Tuesday the difficulty
was discussed pro and con, Wolfe and his
friends attempting to have the journal cor
rCcted, which was successfully resisted by
the Democrats. The matter was again
before the House on Wednesday without
final settlement, Wolfe in the mCautine
being in tie custody of the Sergeant at
Arms. The whole affair was highly dis
graceful, and if it is true as alleged that
pistols were drawn on Monday night on the
floor of tue House, the members Who thus
outraged every rule of docency and pro-
priety ought to be dealt with without fear,
favor or aft ction.

Prices Now aud Before the

Prices Now aud Before the War.
The indications in regard to the spring
business are not very decided one way or
the other, There is good deal Of croak-
ing in some Of our exchanges-notably in
the New York TFibme-as to the outlook,
aud the tendency seems tobe to not repeat
the mistake that was made lust spring on
the part of many pcrsOns who, expecting
arevival Of trade, invested their means in
Improbable enterprises. Indeed wCshall
not be surprised to see mistake made
in the other direction this spring, This is
usually the case after public expectation
has beCndisappointCd in its anticipations.
The disposition under such circumstances
is to look upon the dark side, or Ut all
events to be apprehcnsive, Some people
think that prices have not to uChed bottom
yet, and that we must needs go down lower
before getting on q firm foundation. This
too Notwithstanding the fact that many
articles are now selling not only for less
than the cost Of production but for less
than they sold before the war. The fol-
lowing table, which wO find in the Gin
ciunati Gazette Of Wednesday, presents an
interesting view OF prices aS they stood at
the close OF January last as compared
with tho same period in 1860. Weqaote
