STREAMING of the success of Nichols
in Louisiana, the Davenport Gazette
says:
1T must be confessed that the adj
vent to power of a man of the ante
cedents and associations of Nichols
in such a state as Louisiana, is not
one to be regarded with complacency.
The fact, which we regard as abso-
lutely indisputable, that he really
owes opportunity for his claim to the
governorship only to fraudulent
votes and gross outragcs on the col
ored people, does not at all heighten
satisfaction at the success Of his efforts
AL this, however, does not really af.
feet the action of the President. 1t il
not the duty of the National Execu.
tive to see that the states choose good
Governors. The people of the states
must settle such matters for them
selves. If the fact were otherwise
we confess that entirely aside from
the principles they represent, we are
unable to see how, on the score OF
high merit and eminent goodness, the
Packard crowd have very -palpable
claims on the SOLICITORS regard of the
country at large. Hence while we
might well shed tear for the Re-
publican masses who may be har'
raised under a poor government
headed by Nichols, we can regard
the merely personal defeat of Pack.

During this negotiation, several par.
ties went over to the Packard Legis-
lature, and, beyond all reasonable
doubt, the Packard Legislature was
then legal one. At this stage why
were not the troops withdrawn? Why
was it that the President could never
find it consistent to withdraw the
troops, until by some means "thost

somebody else, had induced a few
men to join the Nichols Legislature,

singular that this should only have

Another Report.

CHICAGO, April 2l.--The Times has
nearly seven columns of crop reports
from the great wheat growing Sec
ton Of the Mississippi and Ohio val
leyss, concerning the condition OF
winter wheat of which the following
brief analysis may be made:
A larger average than usual has
been sown in all quarters, with fine
prospects of abundant harvests. The
southwest is especially hopeful and
the northwest has no fears except
from grasshoppers, which it Is
thought will be less destructive than
heretofore. The Kansas farmers
think they have Matched SO early that
they will not be able to await the
coming crops. n ts
The report which the Times pub
fishes from California is to the effect
that the acreage Of the wheat crop il
about one million tons which was the
crop Of 1874, but the prediction il
that this year not more than half a
million tons will be raised, and that
the effect together with the bad con-
ton of the stock market will be dis
astrous to the State.

A DRFAULTER's RUsE.-On Sun
day, the Sth, Prairie du Chen and
McGregor were thrilled by the an
nouncement that one Frank Kyle,
treasurer of Howard county, Iowa,
had been drowned in the Mississippi
river. The missing man had been
for some time stopping at Prairie du
Chen ostensibly for the purpose of
testing the medical qualities of the
artesian water Of that city, claiming
his health to be bad. On the Sun
day named. he, in company with a
youth named Tryon, went in skiH
on an excursion to Pictured Rocks,
on the Mississippi shore, and in the
afternoon young Tryon returned
home and reported that his COM
panion, Kyle, had been drowned
while bathing in the river. The re-
ported drowning very naturally
created intense excitement, large
numbers of people congregated on
the fatal spot, the river was thor
oughly dragged, cannons fired, and
every device resorted to to recover
the body, but in vain. These eff
forts wero continued until Monday
evening, in the firm belief that
Kyte's body was concealed in the
muddy waters of the Mississippi.
On Tuesday the Sheriff of Howard
county appe AIRED on the scene, with
suspicion that something was wrong.
The treasury vaults at Crcsco were
locked and no one but the missing
Treasurer understood the combina-
ton +; the valise of Kyle was missing
from his boarding house; young
Tryon had assumed an air of indif-
ference over the fate of Kyle, and
other indications pointed to the be-
lief that Kyle, with the aid of Tryon,
had attempted to cover up proba.
bic crime and escape justice by a
ruse. The Sheriff, together with his
brother officers of Crawford and
Clayton coundes, succeeded in get
ting Tryon over the river to the
McGregor side, and there by very
persuasive measures drew from
Tryon the real facts in the case.
Kyle had bribed Tryon to aid his
escape and report his death as above
detailed. When tho artillery was
trying to raise his body he was on
his way down the river 10y land
not by water as was supposed. Kyle
was seen by two women on Sunday
afternoon about half way between
Pictured Rocks and Clayton. At
the latter place he hired a man and
team to take him to Gutenberg,
there he had his moust;,che shaved
off, aud hired a boy to take Inn
across the river to Cassvillo. Tele-
graph reports him at Dubuque on
Monday.
