HELD TO ANSWER.

Marshal Pitkin was on Saturday last
held to answer before high commits
sioner of the New Orleans Times both as
to what he has done and intended to do
in regard to the duties of his Office at the
approaching election. He proved refrac-
tory, contumacious and silent. 1t is a
wonder he was not subjected to the feline
forte ct dure of the feudal ages.
In reply to the questions in chief and
cross to which he was required to reply,
MIR. Pitkin made absolutely no definite
reply, and even held the high position
that he was not under any obligation to
the scribe with the note book, who, in
dignant at such liberty, folded his paper
and departed.
Apparently the disappointed commits
sioner sought better treatment at the hands
of the Democratic headquarters" but
was equally unfortunate:
Scrupulous regard for the public interest,
coupled with tho fact that every item OF
news published in newspaper affords
valuable Information to q political oppo-
nent, scale every lip.
The Bulletin might have triumphed in
this unceremonious dismissal of the Times
collector, but was signally foiled IN at
tempting to induce various candidates for
the Legislature to disclose their inten-
tons as to that great work of internal inn
provement, the New Orleans and Texas
railroad. If Marshal Pitkin was reticent,
or the Democratic headquarters a sealed
book, the exalted applicants for public
favor are imperial in their contempt for
the inquisitor Of the Bulletin. They snub
the inquisitor, they evade his inquiries.
They hold that no one has right to know
what they intend, and though the right
of suffrage upon the tax on property may
be pending, and the construction of q
roadway to the last Western territory left
to New Orleans at stake, most of these
candidates meet the inquiry with an abso-
lutte refusal to say wha. they will do when
this mOmentOuS question Shall come be-
fore them.
1t would not be possible to deprive the
average reporter of his place in the
columns, and accordingly, what with
speculation and imagination, the inter-
views are so head-lined and expanded as
to present the appearance of something
very important. They, in fact, contain
only SO "much trash as may be grasped
thus" and compressed into the term
"bosh."
We apprehend the day of conventions
and interviews is approaching its close.
Men no longer abide by the packed and
purchased verdict of Democratic thugs,
nor do they pale before the anathemas of
police gazettes The resolute refusal of
public authorities to disclose their business
purposes for publication with the number
of Independent candidates who have dared
the intemperance and intolerance Of their
Democratic masters, demonstrates that
the reign Of terrier" is about at an end.

Speaking Of the prospects governing
the wheat market for the present season, the
New York Produce Weekly says the crop Of
1873 was probably much larger than the cs;i-
mate OF M7, ,00O, 900 bu. and was probably
265, ,00o, coo to 275, ,O00, 900 bu. The acreage Of
the crop Of 1876 was larger than that Of 1875.
California held more surplus this year than
last. The United States and Canada will

The spring-wheat crop Of Iowa, Wisconsin,
