The Editor of THE TRIBUNE transmitted
Yesterday two thousand six hundred dollars,
by telegraph, to the respective State Commit
tees of Kansas and Nebraska for the benefit
of the sufferers by the Grasshopper devasta-
ton. Full explanations of the manner in
which the money hitherto sent has been used,
and of the continued need, have been for

subscription begun by THE TRIBUNE so quietly
last December, has now risen above Ten

swelling, so long as the need is known to

Whatever may be said in favor Of the
posthumous publication of the diaries of those
who have been on intimate terms with prom
inent persons, it is undeniable that this is
frequently the means of proDagating much
undeserved obloquy. The "Greville Memoirs y
played sad havoc with some regulations, and,
as will be seen by reference to our eighth
page, an effort has been made at their vindi-
cation How far this purpose has been ac-
complished it is difficult just now to de-
termine. But the article which we give is
worth reading, on account of the additional
light which it throws upon the events referred
to, If for no other reason.

attended as any of its predecessors-and they haye

Judge Hoar and his associates Of the Com
mittee now investigating Louisiana affairs are
eminently successful in eliciting testimony
sustaining the report of their predecessors in
the work There came before them yester-
day representatives of each of the three great
classes of citizens of Louisiana: white ma
tives, cOlored natives, and Northern resi-
dents, and their testimony agreed in every i'm
portant feature. 1t was shown that the rela-
tions between the two races, when free from
the interference of office-seekers, are amicable
and steadily improving; that an honest Re-
publican in or out of Office is respected and
kindly treated; that. the people are wonder
fully patient under misgovernment and
official robbery that the late election
was fair, free and peaceable; that many
colored voters have quit the Republican
party in disgust; and that the Kellogg Gov
ernment has no friends except those who get
their bread and butter from it. The state

The Railroad meeting in this city yesterday
was fully representative of the interests
which have been associated in me- ntaining a
uniform standard of rates. 1t was animated,
as was to be expected, and the Western men
objected fOrcibly to the fixing of rates by
Commissioners, claiming that the lines out
side the combination were taking away their
business and leaving them little but losses.
The Eastern managers argued for the objec-
tionable system and wide difference of
opinion was developed. Oil was poured on
the troubled water by resolution, which sus-
pends the power of the Western COmmIs-
sioners concerning freight-rates, leaving them
to control passenger traffic only. The meeting
would seem to show very plainly that there
can be no firm and lasting union of the di-
verse interests sought to be united.

The oft-recurring and somewhat puzzling
Choctaw Net Proceeds claim is intelliglbly
explained in a letter printed to-day on our
second page. 1t appears from this statement
that the only just claim the Choctaws ever
had against the United States Government
was honorably adjusted long ago, and that a
receipt in full was given. by the holders Of
the claim. The bill now pressed by an i'm
Fortunate lobby, for over two million dollars,
looks very like job of the most outrageous
pattern, and every member of Congress vot-
ing for it must expect to be held to rigid
accountability after such fair warning as has
been given by the press and the officers of the
Treasury Department.
