LOUISIANA.

The v. Y. Tribune, through its stafi
correspondent at New Orleans, under
date of April Sth, reports that the
Commission. by their brief labors.
have reached the follow ing conclusion
lst. That the Packard government
has the best. il not the only de jare IL
tie. The Supreme Court of the State
has never declared the law creating the
Returning Board unconstitutional, aud
hence the Nichols party had no right
10 bnild mp a government on their own
doubts as TO the constitntionality OF
the statutes under which the Board
acted.
2d. That the Nichols government
exercises complete de G;ietO authority
throughout the State aud in every acre
Of it's soil, except within the walls OF
the old hotel used by Packard rs a
State House. Packard's statement
that nearly all the Circuit Judges in
the State recognize him, rests solely in
the fact that these judges we're COM
missioned by Kellogg. and is disprov.
eel by the oaths Of ofiice fled by them
with the Nichols Secretary OF State. -
The negro population believe ia Pack
they will not raise finger To aid while
the white population is in active and
determined hostility to his pretensions.
81. That the Nichols administration
is maintaining order throughout the
State and protecting the rights OF both
races, and that peace and prosperity
would resnlt from it's continuance.
4th. That Packard cannot he estab-
lished Governor 10y n simple recogni-
tion on the part OF the President, but
that il will require the use of large
force OF federal troops TO crush ont the
acting government, and the mainten-
aDce Of a garrison in the State during
Packard's entire term. Provided this
we're practicable, IL would only keep
alive the race conflicts in that State,
create social and industrial disturban-
ces aud business depression which
characterized Kellogg's administration.
These are said to be the conclusions
which the Commission will reach. al-
though their report Is not made public.
They are now trying TO make one Leg
islatare out OF two, aud their desire is,
NJ is that of the President whom they
represent, 10 have them settle their
own State affairs amicably at home,
aud not look 10 authorities in Wash
ington to srbitrate for them. The
Nichols party claim that the Packard
government will vanish IN thin air
When the Commissioa leave, il they
give him no encouragement.

American Inventive Progress.

tific American OF May 7th has long
aud interesting article, from which we
make the following extracts:
To show with what rapidity inven-
tors made improvements ON inventions

the writer, IL may be noted that in the
early days Of the sewing machine ll6
patents were granted for improvements
thereon in a single year; aud ont Of
the 1910 patents issuej ia the year
1857, lJ2 were for improved cotton. gins

preseut the total is lsl,0lj.
And curiosity here leads us (adds
the editor) 10 review our own work, ex-
tssdiDg back, say, twenty years, or 10
1857, q period daring which 10. Ti5
patents have been issued. We find, by
actual count. that s., ,c62 applications
have been made through the Scientific
American Patent Agency for Patents in
tue United States and abroad. This
averages almost ten applications per
day, Sundays excluded, over the entire
period, and bears the relation Of more
than one quarter 10 the total number
Of patents issued 10 this country up 10
the time Of writing.

Indian Runners.

A correspondent from the Sioux
country writes
This system of Indian runners seems
10 be understood. II Important news
is to be carried, an Indian gorges him
self with meat and takes a short nap,
mounts one OF the heetest Of their po-
MES and rushes along like wind until
his horse requires food, when he mods
a few times while his horse satisfies his
hunger from the luxurious meadows,
when the ride is resumed. The runner
needs nothing for his pony and takes
nothing for himself but his arrows aud
his blanket, and will in the manner in
dicated ride two or three days aud
nights, passing over sixty to one hum
dred miles in each twenty-four hours.
When the nearest camp is reached his
story is taken up by other Indians. and
ia like manner carried in every direc-
tion. The speed with which the news
travels depends upon it's importance,
but in this way the Indians often beat
the telegraph. and their first reports, II
they come direct are generally 10 be
relied upon. The runner who brings
great news is feasted from one tepee 10
another, and il is not until the story
begins to grow old that he lets loose
his imagination and adds 10 the origi-
nal in order 10 keep mp the interest in
him as the bearer Of great news. There
are always volunteers. and frequently
two OF three will start for the same
point, but the one that gets in lsst is
bound 10 tell the biggest story, il he
has 10 deny the statements OF his rivals
or cut his story out OF the whole cloth
IN order 10 do 40. Hence the conflict
ing reports.

New York, April 16.--A Herald re-
porter at Lockport, N. u. had an in
teryiew with Eliza Webb, mother OF
Ann Eliza, recently divorced from
Brigham Young. She was one OF the
original Mormons in 1893. The report

replied.

ready to strike anybody at the lifting
Of Brigham Young's fiuger, even at

noso. She described the butchery as
brutal, aud misguided resentment and
blundering military policy, encourag-
ed by the fanatical desperation OF the
Mormon priesthood next under him, ut
that third or fourth time by the power
OF the United States Government.
The first news of the massacre was a
secret IL had been carried 10 Califor-
MIA by the other travellers who passed
along the trail and came on the unbur-
led bodies, perhaps weeks in advance
OF our information. When my husband
first brought the news TO me the whole
butchery was generally laid to the In

People residing in the Northern
States are usually impressed with the
idea that living is extremely dear in
the lower South. This is decidedly n
mistake. One eau make his living ex.
pensive here, il lie desires to do so,
Just as he can in almost any other sec
ton OF the world, but there is no rul-
ing necessity for anything of the kind.
Among the greatest advantages claimed
by ms is our cheap living. A few arti-
cles in the provision line are somewhat
higher than at the North, as -four and
pork, for instance, but even these are
not so high rs most OF our Northern
friends are apt TO suppose. At this
writing dec. y, We can buy in Mobile
a very good article of family -four at
six dollars per barrel, while the most
fancy brands known do not cost us
over eight dollars. Side pork is sell
ing at from nine 10 ten cents per pound,
aud all other articles brought from
distance are rating about in proper
tion.
Very few Of these articles need be
bought, IL we are disposed 10 produce
them ourselves. We can always pro-
duce them with profit, and the reason
why we send North fnr rirm lies in the
fact that there Hrr "iir"r crops peculiar
to our climate that al, c.nsidered more
profitable than tnt'-e
To far more than balance of the ex-
ira amount that We pay for our honr
aud pork We may point you to veg
etable garden the year round, 90 the
ease with which we grow our immense
crops of sweet potatoes, To the mild
ness Of our climate calling for very lit
tie fuel during winter; To our stock
running ont aud finding it's own sup
port at all seasons; and 10 hundreds OF
other advantages enjoyed here bat not
known north OF the Ohio river.
In word the Gnlf coast region is
emphatically the lazy mans country. -
People can live easier here than in any
other section Of the world, perhaps. =
And that's what's the matter with Han
nah. Too many Of the men whose
country this region is have found it,
We don't want any more citizens Of
that class. What we want IL n filling
up with industrious men who have n
desire To become rich. Give ms pop
ulatioL with higher aspirations than 10
live merely for the sake of eating, and
we will soon give 10 the country the
most prosperous section within her
boundaries.
The North has n surplus OF just the
kind ~ people we stand in need Of
economical and industrious farmers
who are looking forward To the day
when they shall be in easy circumstan-
ces. but who cannot get start in the
region where they are located. This is
the place for tbem-a region blessed
with the combined advantages Of both
new country aud an old country.
