YANk EE LAND.



The result Of the late election in II is
State quite astonished and depressed
the Democrats in and around Washing
ton. They expected Mr. Belknap'3 fall
to carry down the Republican party OF
Yankee land. They do not know the
people Of New England as well as some
OF u.s. 1t is land peopled by very in
teligent lot Of voters. The Belknap
corruption was nothing new to the pa
triots Of New Hampshire. They have
known all along Of the corruptions at
Washington But the New England
people are commercial rs well as intel
Iigent. All those having money have
invested it in the Administration, and
all those without means sell their votes
to those who have. Votes were cheaper
this year, as the times are hard, and
the quotations ranged from ten dollars
"a vote early in the morning, and ranged
down, as the day advanced, to rs low as
twenty-five cents. Ifany one suppoScs
he can disturb the New England moral
stomach by an exhibit of moral corrup-
ton, such person does not comprehend
The internal structure Of u Yankee.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SALARY.
The Price III Royalty In England.
It'llicago Tin"s.l

Grant may not be worth more than
$25 900 per annrm, but 1t would be par
simony to contine a respectable Prcsi..
dent, who abandons outside dickers and
declines gifts, to that amount. The
Governor General Of Canada receives
twice that amount. England's queen
has an annual income ~ nearly 81, OOO,-
900, drawn mostly from: public revenues
In one way or the other, and members OF
the royal family ele paid as follows ::
The Duchess Of Cambridge, $50, 900 /;
Princess Augusta, $4,000: Duke Of
Cambridge, $1,000; Princess Mary, 49,.
600; Princess Alica Maud, Of Hesse,
O,OOO Prince Of Wales, $500, 600; Prin-
cess Of Wales, $50 900; Duke OF Edin-
burg, 100000: Prislce Arthur, $4,000,
Princess Helene, $4,000; Marchioness
Of Lorne. $4,000; Prince Leopold, $45,
900; Princess Imperial Of Prussia, $40,-
900 The queen receives about $245, 900
additional per annum from the duchy
of Lancaster, and Wales from the
duchy Of Cornwall. OF course, we don't
want to ape royalty, but we can afford
to pay good President good salary.

Some years since, while tarrving a.
Shanghai and Hong Kong, the write,

OF the hlghly respectful bic firm Of Messrs
King * Co, doing business ut Shanohas'
Mr.. King had recently returned Ssma'.

way they stopped for II few DAYS nj
Hong Kong. After ensconsing thor'
selves in comfortable quarters tbo
couple were visited by rich mandarin
The latter regarded the lady very n,ten
lively, and seemed to dwell with delipb,
upon her movements.
When Mrs. King at length left ,bs
apartment he said to her husband in
broken English (worse than broken

A great deal OF feeling has grown out
OF the controversy In relation to the
passage OF the bill incorporating the
North Louisiana Railroad. The Shrcve-
port Times is very severe on the action
Of Mr.. Whcelook, In tearing up the bill
In the Speakers Office, and the impress
sion prevails among some Of our people
here that the Shreveport people are an.
tagonistic to the New Orleans Pacific.
The damage caused by the destruction
OF the North Louisiana Railroad bill
has been repaired. The bill was en-
rolled Immediately, and is now before
Mr.. Kellogg on Its merits. As to
the New Orleans Pacific. we know
there is no hostility to 1t among
Shreveport men. Indeed, 1t Is regarded
there as the road most important 70
their interests, and we venture to say
that majority Of the Shreveport incor-
porators Of the North Louisiana road,
IL they had to choose one OF the two
roads, would prefer the New Orleans
Pacific. Both these lines are important
to the development OF Louisiana, and
both, we believe. IL built, will largely
benefit New Orleans. The st. Louis Con.
vention recommended that both be sub.
sidized blythe Government. and the North
Louisiana delegation in that Convention
gave all its influence to have both lines
included In the bill. We see no conflict
In the two roads. Indeed, II the North
Louisiana Railroad were built by Its
present incorporators. 1t would be large
ly controlled In Shreveport, and would,
Of course, become feeder for long
distance east OF Red River to the New
Orleans Pacific.

The universal determination expressed
by the people Of our parish to allow no
opportunity to pass by which TO dis.
cover and punish the party or parties
who committed the dastardly murder Of
the poor inoffensive coIored boy near
Jackson, recently, should forever give
the lie to the accusations Of the enemies
If our people, who have repeatedly
charged that the murder of negro IN
our parish was utterly disregarded
Let them know that in this instance
las in all others the white citizens Of
East Fellciana have taken the lead and
that they have, and will continue 10
be nobly seconded by every law officer
in the parish.
Had the poor unfortunate colored boy
have been as white as the driven snow,
or as rich as Rothschild, those charged
with his murder could not have been
more promptly arrested or more thor
oughly and closely examined before
any tribunal Of justice than they have
been before that Of his Honor Judge
Lyons.

mind by the unpriDcipled accusers OF a

CONkLlNl: AT HOME,
Nis Friends Dubious ~ to His Chances
for the Presidency.

New York Times Albany Letter.
Roscoe Conklins will have the seventy
votes of his State SO long as there is a
chance of his nomination. But strict
adherence to truth requires the addi-
tional assertion that hardly any of his
friends suppose that he has the slight
est possible chance OF securing the
prize, and this fact leaves the State as
much at sea as ever. Mr.. Conkling has
powerful, earnest friends men who sin
cerely believe that he has fairly won the
highest honor his country can bestow,
and they will do all in their power to be-
stow it upon him. But they, in common
with every one else, know that his
chances are so dubious that the State
must be forced to take the alternative
into consideration. His warmest friends,
therefore, as we'll as his coolest, are
considering what New York should do
next. And these facts bring up the
questions whether there should be a
pledged delegation to Cincinnati and a
unit rule established. The weight OF
opinion in the party seems to be very
decidedly against both propositions.
