TELEGRAPH SUMMARY.

vailing at Washington that Evarts
and Schurz will soon withdraw
from the Cabinet the formers to
go to the Court of st. James and
the later to Berlin. Judge Mack
ey positively asserts that by the
10th of April Hampton's authority
will be undisputed. Morton in a
conversation with Kellogg said
that Eustis would be seated as
Senator; that Senator's Mcmillan,
Edmunds and himself (Morton) had
decided to vote for Eustis.
THE Presiden; fluids it difficult
to obtain the consent, of suitable
parties to serve On the Louisiana
commission, as it is regarded as the
mere agent for concentrating a
bargain and sale.
DR.. Hugh Kennedy is promi'
nently mentioned for collector Of the
Port of New O rIeans.
President Wheelock has re-
ceived assurances that the Texas
Pacific bill witt: the New Orleans
Pacific as branch will be passed at
the extra session of Congress.
Hayes plan is said to be for
the Commission to designate who
wee elected to the Legislature
according to the original returns
without regard to the Returning
Board counD and he will sustain
either party declared elected Gov
ernor. by the Legisla ture thus or
ganized.
A telegram from "prcmirent
and reliable gentlemen" to Maj.
Burke, dated Washington 25'h.
lays: Everything gees all righs.
| am able to assure you positively
your policy is to wait.
Under date OF March 10th,
Kellogg telegraphed Packard -
"President Hayes said yester-
day to Ellis and others, 10 presence
Of Congressman Blair, that Mich
oils has no legal courtS.'
Hon. E. John Ellis telcgraphs
the N. O. Democrat, per coatra:
Kellogg lied as usual. Hayes said
to ne "In South Carolina there
seems to be no Supreme Court
whose legality is conceded, while
in Louisiana you have no Supreme
Court whose authority is undisput~
ed" His remark was one Of in
quiry, and applied equally to the
Nichols and Packard courts. !
hope our people will, by no act,
give even a coloring of acceptance
of any decision Of Louisiana pat
ters by the Commission. We
must prepare to resist the decree if
it is unfavorable. The House is
uuquestionably Democratic, aud
will never give one dollar for the
army until our people are free.
Patience and a bold assertion of
our rights will bring us victory in
the end.
The Commission is losing
ground; it is coming to be under
stood that there is no authority for
it in law, and no money to pay the
expenses; il has no power to ad-
minister oaths, and its decision
will have TO legal force whatever.
1t is positively ascertaired that
Wheeler will not serve upon it.
The following order from the
Secretary Of Var, dated Washing.
ton, March Goth, has been receiv-
ed by Geneneral Argur and by him
transmitted to Gov. Nichols and
to Packard
A commission will shortly visit
Louisiana. In the meantime
the President desires that the stu
alton remain unchanged. Please
report what changes ia the situation
if any have occurred since the close
of the la1e administration.

IMPORTANT ENACTMENT.

General Assembly and prom
ulgated in the official Journal,
designed to arrest elicit traf-
Gck in seed cotton. Its pro-
visions are similar, with a few
material points of difference,
to those Of the celebrated Gair
bill introduced in the Legisla>
ture Of 1874 and which met
with strenuous opposition at
the hands of radical leaders,
among them d. L. Weber. anu
which finally sustained defeat.
The radical organ here, the
DUNN LEADER, was particular
ly pronounced in its opposition
to and denunciation of that
measure. The suspension Of
the nefarious traick which was
robbing the planter Of his
rents, besides encouraging
thieving practices among a
large class of our population,
found no favor with that 2e-
lecta bic journal. On the con-
trary, it bitterly denounced
the measure designed to ac>
complish that object, openly
invited and encouraged the
Of the criminal
practice, until it became so
general and oppressive that
the people, white and colored.
determined to regulate the
matter in their own way
with what success every one
is we'll aware.
The motive Of SELF INTEREST
has been repeatedly charged
against E.. L. Weber, editor,
as the one prompting the
course of his paper in oppos-
ing the operation Of a law
passed by the Police Jury in
1872, prohibiting the sale Of
seed cotton or unbaled lint
cotton, between The hours
of sunset and sunrise
This is one of the most serious
among the endless list of in
dictments found by the people
against Weber and his CO.
workers, and forms one of the
specific charges preferred
against dim by the Mass Meet
ing of January 26th, 1876
The following extract from
the Feliciana REPUBLICAN,, Of
18th, 1872, edited
and controlled by d. \. Web
er, brother Of E. L. Weber,
and who was undoubtedly in>
timately acquainted with his
brothers plans and motives,
puts the seal of reality upon all
hat has been said of him in
connection with this most mi
1uitous practice:
Had the editor Of tie DUNN
LEADER. 81. l.. Weber, been
better informed, or had he not
oeen interested in this, that
re has recently put up a grog
shop at the forks Of the road
or the avowed purpose Of do
ng a smashing cotton business
by candle light, we feel certain
hat he would claim, as does
every fair-minded citizen, that
he law was enacted as a pro>
ective barrier to theft.

We are informed through the
New Orleans papers that the suit
Of the majority Of the tax payers
of the Parish, enjoinipg the collec-
ton of special taxes, sought to be
enforced by Messrs. Picard & We'll,
the succession of VIM. D. Winter
and others, has been decided ad.
versely to the tax payers. The up
shot of this decision is. that the
claims and judgments of Picard &
We'll and others, are decided as
valid against the Parish, and they
arc ordered to be collected by the
proper authorities, upon new as
sessment: The Court virtually
holding the assessments sought to
be enforced, to be excessive. This
adds to the present debt Of the
Parish further debt Of at lest fif-
teen thousand dollars. We trust
some arrangements may be effected
with these creditors of the Parish
by which this Indebtedness may be
divided up into two or more annual
instailments. It would certainly
be great relief to our already i'm
poverished tax payers.

says the subsidy was voted upon the

erected its Texas domicile at Marshall
and that the road has complied strictly
