The New Orleans Democrat., 1876-03-18

A genuine sensation, says Washing
ton correspondent. has been made by
the speech OF Senator Gordon on the
subject Of revenue reform. That the
country is likely to be thoroughly
stirred by the matter is evidenced by
the deluge Of letters which has already
poured in upon Senator Gordon, com
mending what he has proposed. The
Senator claims to have shown from the
records of the Treasury Department the
startling fact that the Government has
been robbed OF not less than 81 200, 900,
600 in the past thirteen years, no matter
what has been the political stripe of the
several administrations in power during
that time. In this connection the cal
culation is made that, had the money
thus misappropriated been put where
1t belonged, the questions Of the
currency and Of the national debt
would not now distract the country.
Had the thousand millions stolen by
these officials and the hordes OF place
men under them been honestly handled,
the national debt would be less than
half its present size and the finances Of
the country would be on specie pay
ment basis. Even now the sources Of
revenue are SO broad and yielding that
an honest collection of the revenue,
such as Mr.. Bristow's efforts would
bring about, is only necessary to insure
the easy payment of the national debt,
the reduction Of the taxes and the re-
storation OF the currency to specie
standard.
The movement initiated by Senator
Gordon promises to become a revolution
which will sweep out political lives in
the next Presidential elecsion.

THE WORK OF THE SESSION.



Speaking OF the last session Of the
Legislature, the Union Record says:
The people of Louisiana have been
anxiously watching the movements of
the General Assembly, and how weary
and sad must their hearts be. now that
the Legislature has adjourned. and
nothing accomplished. 1t appears that
the people of Louisiana come nearer
being misrepresented than represented
i'm the General Assembly. Republicans
lcgislate solely for the benefit Of party
The Record, after rendering justice to
the efforts of our Conservative members,
rendered unavailing by the action, or
rather non-action, of the Senate, con-
tinues as follows:
The question naturally arises, what is
to be done? How long are we to sub
NIT to the present condition or affairs
1t is evident now that no State legisla-
ton, under the present administration
of State laws, can give relief, and Fed
eral Intervention is beyond the pale OF
hope, unless honesty and constitutional
law could once again WELD the sceptre
of power.
In conclusion, tho Record states the
only means of salvation to be in stead
fast and energetic action under the
Democratic banner.
The Bossier Banner says:
The people of Louisiana have at last
the satisfaction to know that the Leg
isIature of the State has adjourned. 1t
might have done more damage than it
has done, 1t is gratifying to know that
its power for evil is ended.
It then sums up the work OF the ses
sion. and finds that it amounts to moth
ing, as every reform bill passed by
House representing, rs none before
since reconstruction, the property and
intelligence of the State, was defeated
by the Senate. It finds that at 'the
root of all the evils under which the
State now groans lies the infamous cleo
tion bill, by which a corrupt board of
Radical returning officers can nullify
the will Of the people. To pass every
other needed bill and to neglect to re-
peal this law, is simply to do a vain
thing, since another set Of Radicals,
elected by Matt Wells and Tom Ander
son could, in one hour, undo the work
of o session. This law the Radicals
nave perSlStently refused 10 repeal, and
do not hesitate to avow their object to
be to prevent the election Of 4 Demo-
cratic government next fall.
THE action Of the Radical Senate
throws the responsibility of failure upon
that body, and being obliged to go
into another campaign with a Return
ing Board, we must go into 1t with the
determination of winning. Let the
Radicals denounce the Red river
plan,' OF any other "plan," they must
understand that we are not to submit to
Radical domination any longer. With
the memory of 1874 before us, let our
organization be completed at once. We
have severe contest ahead of us, but
there is every indication that we shall
win both State and National victory

A Conference Concerning It-ImpOrtanCc
of Russian Flax opportunities
for American Farmers I'm
Flax-RaiSing.
Now York Tribune.

Now York Tribunc.l
Messrs. Miller and Fleming, Of Dun
dee, Scotland, the former one of the
largest flax spinners of that city, and
the latter extensively engaged in the
importation of Russian flax, last week
met Peter Cooper and other gentlemen
interested in the subject of American
flax culture Specimens Of flax, hemp,
jute and ramie grown in this country
were examined by Messrs. Miller and
Fleming, and pronounced to be OF ex
cellent quality. equal to the best Rus
sian fiber. Mr. Miller said that he could
use annually in his business 81, 200, 900
worth of American flax of the quality
exhibited. Mr.. Cooper introduced Mr..
Watson, who has made the subject OF
tlax-growing and the manufacture Of the
flax product u study for twenty years.
Mr.. Watson submitted comparative sta
tistics showing the rapid gains the
United States had made over Russia in
the expectation of wheat in the past
few years. In fifteen years QS5S 72)
the United States shipped to England 27
per cent of the wheat importations of
that country, and Russia "a per cent. In
nine months of 1874 the United States
supplied Great Britain with So per cent
of her wheat, and Russia only II per
cent. The same land that yields
wheat will yield flax and hemp, and us
this country has surpassed Russia in
she can also surpass her in expectation
of flax. Yet this country annually inn
ports from Russia $50o00,O00 worth of
flax and hemp, which could be raised on
American soil. That flax is the most
profitable crop for the farmer is shown,
Mr.. Watson says, by the agricultural
statistics. In Morrow county, Ohio, for
example, flax yields $37 OS per acre,
wheat S14 81, oats $40 81, and corn
$11 II; and in all soils adapted to flax,
from Minnesota to the Gulf, it was the
flax sells freely in the New York market
at about $500 per ton, and a leading
importer in this city states that when
he can obtain the Western flax in the
quantities which he wants he will cease
importing from Russia. With the new
machinery the tlax-puller and decorti
Gator for preparing flax Mr.. Watson
believes that u revolution will be effect
ed in the business, and that the ma
chimes will do for flax growing what the
reaper has done for the grain trade of
America. He confidently expects that
when the culture and value of flax are
understood by American farmers they
will successfully compete with Russia.
Mr.. Cooper, who has also given the
subject much attention for number of
years, and particularly the improvement
of flax machinery, fully supported Mr.
Watson's views, and his great faith in
the development OF this industry. Mr..
Miller expressed much interest in the
statement made, and was convinced
from his investigation that American
flax in the not distant future would be-
come leading staple of foreign expor-
tatiOn.

The Bee comments upon the loose
workings of the Funding Board us de-
picted in the report of the House com
mittee appointed to investigate its
affairs and examine the books. The re-
port itself has already been commented
upon in the DEMoCRAT. As for books the
committee found none and affairs were
SO handled in the first years working OF
the Board as to allow members OF the
ring to exchange worthless scraps Of
paper against several millions Of State
bonds. The Bees review of the report
is to be continued tomorrow.
The Republican sees in the Republican
victories in New Hampshire, Maine,
Vermont and New York the verdict of
the people recorded against the Demo
cratic party, and especially the South
ern branch thereof.
The same paper discourses at great
length upon delayed reforms, and as a
matter Of course throws the whole re-
sponsibility upon the Democrats. The
denunciations against Belknap have
also made way for attacks upon the
Democratic committee that exposed
him. Belknap is now proclaimed an
innocent and injured man. =r.
The Picdy,u,e, referring to its edito-
rial of the previous day on the Kellogg
pamphlet Bourbon Faith" says that
it took for granted the assertions there
In contained merely for the sake Of ar
gument, and cites numerous instances
of misstatements destroying the whole
weight of the pamphlets argument, and
also explains that the merchants me-
mortal was signed under n misappre-
hension of the nature of the prosecu-
ton, and also that Mr.. Stafford, though
voting against impeachment. denounced
Kellogg in no measured terms, and
even Gov. Hahn explained his vote re-
cognizing the legality of the action of
the House. .a.
The Bulletin exonerates the War De-
partment Investigating Committee from
the blame that the Republican side of
the House Is trying to fasten on them
for the flight of Marsh, the witness in
the Belknap case. 1t shows conclusive
ly that the committee acted according
to law and precedent in discharging
Marsh after he had testified, and that
it could not have been the fear Of again
testifying before the Court of Impeach-
ment that prompted Marsh to fly to
Canada, but the action of the President,
at the meeting of the Cabinet, ordering
the prosecution of guilty witnesses as
well as their principals. t= ..
The Times deplores the scandalous
controversy of the Newton jury, and
thinks our jury system radically wrong
in allowing such men as Musse and
Seaton, and, according to their sworn
statement, nine others Of the same
stripe. to be found in one and the same
jury panel. But as juries are, as yet,
the best safeguard found in modern
legislation, it thinks that the error is
more in the application than in the law
itself. Professional jurymen should be
dispensed with, and the exemptions on
account of a so-called formed opinion
should be granted, not rs now prac-
ticed, but according to the letter and
spirit OF the law, which exempts merely
for we'll specified reasons.

IRELAND AND THE IRISH.

Our Irish fellow-citizens yesterday
celebrated st. Patrick's Day by bril-
liant military and civic procession. In
every city in the world, where there is a
considerable Irish population. the day
was doubtlessly observed rs it was here.
This unconquerable race, through CEN
turies OF wrong and oppression, have
preserved In their original vigor a
passionate love of their country and a
heroic faithfulness to its cause. its
habits and its principles. Wherever the
Irishman and the Irish woman may be,
on their native soil or on a foreign
strand, Ireland first and last has the
dearest place in their thoughts and
hearts. Every emblem OF the Green
Isle, every name associated with its
romances, is cherished with a deep
and fond devotion. A people whose
love Of country centuries of oppression
have not quenched, and whose devotion
to their country's cause nothing has
been able to corrupt; who have been
born under oppression, who have lived
and fought and died unconquered, I'M
corrupted, challenge the admiration of
mankind. The history of Ireland is n
heroic romance. No one can read it
without feeling his heart stirred to its
profoundest depths; without glowing
with indignation at the outrage perpe-
trated upon the Irish people; without
thrilling with admiration at the fortitude
with which they bore and the heroism
with which they resented those out
RACES. The story is one of suffering. of
war, of poetry, of oratory, of misfortune
and OF grand and generous heroism.
The Irishman is the typical last
ditcher." He has never given up. He
proposes to concede nothing. He will |
win for Ireland, or he will die for her.
He wants no combination with her enc
mics, and divide of offices and patron
age. The proud banner of Erin, which
fioated over the kings of Ireland cen
turies ago, is his banner to-day it SYM
bolizes the cause Of his country. 1t is
flag Which to him means free Ireland
or a battle t. the very death, and a war
for an hundred ce-uries.
Such people haS. NOT lired .,d
fought in vain, and if tn. bava IA,
made Ireland free, they have g., an
exami0e Of heroism and devotion =.
principle, useful and ennobling to man
kind.

Hon. b. H. Hill, of Georgia, prefacing
it thus: "There is a woman living in
Philadelphia who sympathizes with
Hill. of Georgia, in his TRADE against
the North for cruelty to Confederate
prisoners. My motive was certainly
misunderstood. My husband and bro
ther served the country in her hour of
need, and / rendered all the service in
my power by attention to the sick and

my fortune to pass much time in the
South, and / feel sure, could the people
Of the North know the Southern people
better, the prejudice kept alive by am
bilious politicians would be powerlesS
longer to distract our country. No
brave man follows his opponent after he
has laid down his arms and acknOwl-
edges himself powerless, more particu-
larly after he has fought manfully. When
the skillful surgeon has cut away a dis
affected part, he uses all his power to
heal that wound for the preservation Of
