EASTERN DISPATCH Els
The Louisiana COmmissiOn-AL Let
ter From Nichols.

NEW OhLhANSg w.
The commissioners reported to the
President by telegraph to-day, inclnd-
ing the following letter from Nichols
referring to the joint resolutions here
tofore telegraphed:
Executive Department, State of Louis
lana; New Orleans, Apr! 10, 1877.
To Hon. Charles r Lawrence, and
members of the Louisiana Commission,
Geptlsmen- have the honor to trans
NIT herewith copy of the Joint reso-
lutions adopted by the General Assem-
bly, Of Louisiana. In 80 doing. | desire
to say that they express not merely the
abstract idea, but the conviction, of our
people which will be practically exc
cuted by them through their represent.
atives, their courts, and their executive
government. AS chief magistrate OF
the State, it will be not only my pleas
ule but my bounden duty to give every
assistance in my power to lead to that
end. am satisfied that any course OF
political action narrower than the good
of the whole people must inevitably
lead to disaster Every days expert
ence fortifies me in the belief that
policy founded on these principles
must result in the attainment of the
ends tor which all just governments
are established. / have earnestly
sought to obliterste the color line in
politics and to consolidate the people
on a basis'of equal rights aud common
interests, and it is source of gratifi-
caticn to me to be able to say that this
great object is about to be realized. l
feel that do but speak the sentiments
of the people when declare that their
government will secure, First, a vigor-
GUS and efficient enforcement of the
laws for the equal protection of all
persons and property, and should oc-
casion require it. it will proceed in
person when any disorder may menace
the public peaee'or political rights of
any citizen; Second. the establishment
of a system of public education, to be
supported by uniform taxation. so that
all, without regard to race or color.
may receive the advantages thereof;
Third. the fostering OF immigration in
order to hasten the development of the
natural resources of the State.
Having thus committed our govern
ment and the people to these great
principles, i desire to add the most en-
phatic assurance that the withdrawal
of the troops to their barracks. instead
of causing any disturbance of the
peace or tendency to riot. will be a
source of profound qualification to our
people and will be accepted by them as
a proof of fhecenfdence of the Presi-
dent in their capacity for self.govern-
ment. The people of Louisiana can
not fail to appreciate that their good
fortune is largely due to the magnani-
nous policy so wisely inaugurated and
so constantly maintained by the Presi-
dent of the United States.
I have the honor to.be your obedient
servant, f. T. NICHOLS.

A letter written by Charles Francis
Adams to Governor Tilden on the 9th
of March, has just been made public,
and reads as follows:
Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, New York
Dear Sir: On this day, when you
ought to have been President of the
: United States. sieze the opportunity
to bear my testimony to the calm and
dignifed manner in which you have
passed through this great trial. Its
many years since.I cared to be party
man; hence | have endeavored to
j Judge OF public affairs and men rather
by their merits than by the name they
take. 1t is a source of qualification to
me to think that | made the right
choice in the late election. | could
never have been recopcied to the ele-
walton, by the smallest aid of mine, of
a person, however respectable in private
life. who must forever carry upon his
brow the stamp of fraud, for the first
time triumphant IN American history.
No subsequent action. however
meritonous, can wash away the letters
of that record. Very respectfully
yours, CHARLES Francis ADkl1s.

Slaughter of Cattle Thieves.

A special from Leavenworth, Kansas,
to the st. Louis Globe Democrat says a
private letter, received at Fort Ellis,
gives an account of fight between cat
tie thieves and a party of pursuers IN
the Cheyenne country, Kansas, some
days ago. 1t seems large number of
cattle had been stolen during the past
summer, and it was finally determined
by the herders and owners to put stop
to it and make an example of the thieves.
In this instance it is said some 1000
cattle were run off from Western Kan
sas and Colorado by twelve robbers,
who started North with them. A party
of fifteen rangers, well armed and
mounted, started in pursuit, and, after a
hard ride of five days, came upon the
thieves in the extreme northwestern
part of Kansas, surrounded them while
at supper, killed seven of them, hanged
another to tree, and recovered all the
cattle. None of the rangers were hurt,
the surprise being so complete the rob-
bers had no chance to return the fire or
make any resistance.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

individuality is everywhere to be
spared and respected as the root of every
thing good.
Watch for opportunities of usefulness.
Every days brings them, and once gone
they are gone forever.
It is safer to affront some people than
to oblige them; for the better man de-
serves, the worst they will speak of him.
The reason why people SO seldom
know how to do their duty on great oc-
casions is that they will not do their
duty on little ones.
Deceit is the false road to happiness
and all the joys we travel through to
vice, like fairy banquets, vanish when
we touch them.
1t is only by making much of our
minutes that we can make much of our
days and years. Time must be made
use of as it flies.
Many people utter falsehoods in order
to be agreeable, to give pleasure or to
avoid giving pain; but this betrays a
great want of courage.
Our customs and habits are like the
ruts in roads; the wheels of life settle
into them, and weiog along through the
mire, because it is too much trouble to
get out of them.
A man who would thrive in the world
has no such enemy as what is known by
the term sensibility. Tt is to walk bare
foot in mob; at every step your toes are
crushed by the iron-shod shoon of crowd
ing vagabonds, who grin from ear to ear
at the wry faces you make-at the cries
that may escape you.
Deal gently with those who stray.
Draw them back by love and persuasion.
One kiss is worth a thousand kicks. A
kind word is more valuable to the lost
than mine of gold. Think of this and
be on your guard, ye who chase to the
grave an erring brother.

Cranes i'm n Jail Yard.

In the court yard of the county jail
stands grape vine trellis, just under
the grated window of the first ward.
Turnkey Blakely says that all manner of
devices are used by the prisoners to
coax the fruit within their reach. Broom
handles are split with knives, and con-
vict will strain and wrench himself for
hours at time in the endeavor to cap
ture a stem of grapes in the cleft, break
it off with an adroit twist, and safely
land it on the window sill. Strings are
weighted and slip-noosed, and swung
back and forth, until they Irvine them
selves around a bunch and reward the
patient thief within. Many grapes are
also devoured by the prisoners as they
pass to and from the court room in
charge of the officers, and the latter
wink at these trifing breaches of law

Why He Carried q Wooden Pistol.

A war correspondent writes from
Varna I found crowd of officers who
were examining a rough wooden revolver
that had been taken from the belt of q
dead Russian lieutenant. 1t had no
trigger, neither were barrels followed
out, merely block of wood shaped out
as revolver. An old Pole was asked
for q solution of the mystery, and his
opinion was very soon given. The
young man had been gambler, had
sold his revolver, and to hide the fault
from his commandment had had wooden
ones made to fill up the holsters.

irving from its rental quite hansome
amount. For the past four years it has

reaped from it some of the best crops
ever raised in this section. This spring
Mr.. McCrea bought the farm out and

$4,000. Our reporter obtained from

Four men with seven horses do the
work, and they are now engaged m put
ting into shape fifty acres of ground,
which will this fall be sowed to rye.
The farm comprises 500 acres, half OF
