LOUISIANA. washington, a April specials
from New Orleansto Northern papers Represents
the Nichols showing before the commission ma
fatally superior to Pachard's in yest terday' pro-
ceedings. It is thought the inevitable result
will be reached much earlier than was expected.
: Packard himself has forced the fighting to his
own discontinue.
The Ifmes has the following editorial: ..The
Louisiana commissioners have entered upon their
task Of ofconciliation and compromise, and already
begin to 6nd it uphill work. Governor Packard
exhibits a disposition as far removed from Com.
promise as could well be imagined, and will hear
no proposals whatever which do not proceed up-
on the assumption that he is the legally elected
Executive Of the State. If the commission can
point n flaw In his title, he 10 willing to have the
Legislature reconvened in order 10 recanyass the
vote, but net otherwise. If the United States
troops ore removed, Packard promises to test
his ability to keep his place by force Of arms,
and he happens to be n man who in a matter of
this kind can be trusted to keep his word. As
it is equally certain that the President will leave
the contestants to themselves as soon rs all pos
sible means of bringing about q settlement have
been exhausted, the dangers of civil conflict in
Louisiana are by no means at ON end. That
consideration will lead tho country to regard tho
labors of the commission with some additional
solicitude. ,%sN

The Straight Republican Candidate for
1880 So. 5s 81

One of the most credible political
rumors of the day is that the eyes ofall
the discontented and disappointed ma
chinists of the Republican party are
turning rapidly to Gen. Grant as the
candidate whom it will be best for them
to put forward in 1880, the one who is
most likely to restore their fallen for
tunes, and, indeed, the only one With
whom the party is likely to have much
chance of success. They argue, and
with considerable force, that even I'M
der ordinary circumstances the faults of
his Administration would be forgotten
during the coming four years OF private
life and foreign travel; that this is
rendered doubly probable by the mag
niicent reception which he has met
with in England, and which proves that
he is what his administration Circles"
always said he was, the greatest Lying
Amercan-the man who, after all,
reflects most honor Oh the country and
has done most for its safety and welfare,
that, whatever objections there may be
to three terms in succession, there can
be none to three, terms with intervals
between and that IN any event it is not
likely that any other man can be found
in the Republican ranks who will com
mand SO many votes, or offer the Dem
ocratic candidate, who will come next
time with the solid South, Returning
Boards and all at his sack, so formida-
| Bile an opposition. - .+@

Who Will ShenandOh support.

This question is propounded to sal
most every day. Shenandoah will sstis-
tain the best Valley man presented,
and falling in that she is not likely to
do less for the best man from some
other section. Shenandoah knows how
to resent perfdies and local indignities
becomingly. Last week we took occa-
sion to remind some persons by gentle
hints that exhibitions of too much sus-
picion, and two much intermeddline
with our affairs is not the way to man
age campaign. We meant to say
that we have not forgotten some things,
bat can perform the part Of Valley
county nevertheless. 1t may not be
amiss now to repeat that what we dc
will be entirely Of our own volition, and
from no regard for the wishes and wills
of manipulators whose conduct is
better calculated to bring reproach than
honorable success to their candidate.
Our little knowledge of public matters
has bred in us charity which inclines
us against visiting the sins of friends
upon the head of the man, at least with
out some proof of guilty knowledge
Shenandoah is no performing elephant
to be run by ring masters in big shows

Hays issued an order to the officehold-

abstain from taking any active part in
politics, and directing them to attend
strictly to their official business. He
then started off on an electioneering

Secretary ofState, the Secretary of the
Interior, the Postmaster-General and
the Acknowledgement along with him

Rev. 7. Messplle. for thirty wears

Rev. J. Messplle, for thirty years a
Catholic missionary among the Indians
in Oregon, Washington and Idaho, says
the present Indian war is the result of
the failure of the government to nego-
tate for the purchase of the reservation
left by the Indians when they emigrated
to the Walla Valley, and to the unre-
strained intercourse between the whites
and the Indians. He also says that the
war will be prolonged one, as the In
dams can bring force of some eight or
ten thousand men into the field, and
that they have resolved to fight to the
last. They laugh, he says, at Gen.
Howard and his fine speeches. -...i.

81 PEACHEs.-Accounts still agree that
the peach crop will be immense, ais
though in some parts Of the peninsula
the yield will be very small. Not one
half Of the crop will be sent to market
in the natural state, owing to the great
excess Of the supply over the demand.
Last year experiments were made in
drying the fruit by intense heat, and
this year that branch of the business
will be prosecuted extensively, especial
ly in Delaware. A bushel of peaches
contains two gallons Of water, which
can be driven out in few hours by
evaporation, and the slices, when
brought into contact with water again,
are found to be not materially altered
in taste.-Emope is the market to

GEoRGIA's WHEAT CRoP.-The
Atlanta Constitution says Of the wheat
crop in that State that not only is the
acreage greater than it has perhaps ever
been IN that section, but the yield per
acre is magnificent. Many farmers will
harvest from twenty-five to thirty
bushels of plump white wheat to the
acre, and there are farmers in every
county whose respective products of
wheat will run up into several thous-
ands of bushels. The Georgia farmers
have evidently concluded that cotton is
not entirely king, and with wise fore
thought they have determined to raise
their own bread.

Altogether, the Republican prospect
in Pennsylvania is no better than in
Ohio, and the Administration and the
Camerons are both likely to get a fall
from which neither will be apt to re-
cover. The Republican managers are
evidently alarmed, for they have post
poned their convention until after that
Of the Democrats. They have always
heretofore led the way, and thrown
down the gauntlet of defiance to their
adversaries. Now, they timidly hang
back and wait to see if there be an
opening for attack. This is destined to
be bad year for frauds in and out Of
the White House.-N. Y. Sua, 49,.

''THE ELECTORAL CONSPIRACY
Judge Blacks article in the North
American Review for July, under the
above title, is ably written. 1t draws a
vivid picture Of the carpet-baggers, the
Louisiana returning board, its villainics
and forgeries, and Of ex-President Grant
as an accompHce, the pettifogging of
the electoral eight, the thimble-rigging
in the Florida and Louisiana cases, and
the betrayal of the nation. While show
Ing up the unworthy processes by which
the result actually reached was pro-
claimed, he undertakes to vindicate the
democrats who co-operated with the
conservative republicans in framing this
device. He thinks that they were not
deceived in the constitution of the COM
mission, but in the organization of the
commission, after it was constituted.
Whether, as Judge Black contends, if
the plan Of the electoral commission had
been fairly carried out, it ''would have
added strength and grandeur to our in
stitutions," is question which admits
of doubt and is no longer pertinent,
The main point now is to provide legis-
lation by which the recurrence of cri-
sis such as occurred in the last presiden-
tial election, fraught with peril to re-
publican principles and the peace Of
the country, can be prevented here
after.
