The subjoined Associated Press tel
egram from Washington will serve to
disabuse some minds of the impress
sion that Senator Blaine has assumed
a position antagonistic to the new
administration-made a declaration
of war against the policy of President
Hayes, as it were. The dispatch reads
Senator Blaine dined Saturday night with
Secretary Evarts and Secretary Schurz.
These three gentlemen are said to have had
a hearty laugh over the reports that Mr..
Blaine had been trying to defeat the con-
firmatiOn of Schurz and Evarts in the Senate.
In the afternoon Mr.. Blaine attended the
reception at the White House, and was re-
ceiyed with very marked cordiality by both
the President and Mrs. Hayes.

GOV, KELLoGG's CASE POSTPONED.

GUN. kGLLUGGS UAOh 7 UN1 YIN ILL.,
Great confidence was felt by the
friends of the Republican government
in this State that speedy and favor
able solution of existing compllca-
tions would be had in the recognition
by the United States Senate of the
title of ex-Gov. Kellogg to seat in
that body. But like many another
hope which has been entertained by
each of the contending parties in the
pending struggle for supremacy, this
one was disappointed. When the
Senate was called together at the be-
ginning of the extra session, Gov.
Kellogg accompanied Messrs. Lamar,
Hill, Morgan and other newly elected
Senators to the Vice Presidents desk
to be sworn in. Objection was made
in several cases including that of Gov.
kellogg, and after an animated de-
bate, led by Blaine and Morton upon
the part of the Republicans and by
Bayard and others for the opposition,
the credentials of the Louisiana claim
ant were referred to the committee on
Privileges and Elections by vote OF
IS to 20, several Republicans siding
with the affirmative. After consulta-
ton this committee decided by party
vote to report favorably upon the Gre
dentials and recommend the immedi-
ate seating of Gov. Kellogg, the Dem
ocrats on the committee of course dis
senting and preparing a minority re-
port.
Unfortunately for the Republicans,
several of their Senators were ill and
two vacancies had been caused by the
withdrawal of Hons. John Sherman
and Simon Cameron, hence they could
not hope for success in the event OF
pressing the matter to final vote,
and it was allowed to go over to the
next session.
Senator Conkling and one or two
other Republicans opposed the admis-
sion of Gov. Kellogg on the ground
that it might embarrass President
Hayes i'll framing or carrying out his
policy for the settlement of the Louis
lana problem.

The members of the new Cabinet
were sworn in and assumed their du-
ties Monday. At their first meeting,
which was held on Tuesday, Secre-
talies Evarts and Schurz were ap-
pointed rs committee to draft civil
service rules for all the departments,
in harmony with the we'll known
views of President Hayes and the
enunciations of the Republican plat
form upon the subject of reform in
the civil service. Postmaster General
Key, desiring to demonstrate his en-
tire sympathy with the administra-
ton by selecting representative Re-
publican as his First Assistant, ten
dered that position to his predecessor,
Mr.. Tyner, who at first declined to
accept but subsequently changed his
mind and assumed the functions OF
the office, where his experience will
be of great service to the new Post
master General. Mr.. Fred. w. Sew
ard, son of ex-Secretary VIM. H. Sew
ard, has been appointed by Mr.. Ev-
arts as Assistant Secre tary of State.

Gov. Nichols has recognized the
Jealous party service of Mr.. E. A.
Burke by appointing him Tax Col
lector of the First District of New
Orleans. Mr.. Burke has assumed the
position to the extent of taking pos
session of the room occupied as an
office by the recent Collector, but the
books and tax rolls are in the State
House, where Nichols officials are not
recognized or admitted. Collectors
for the other city districts have been
appointed by Gov. Nichols and will
proceed at once to the collection of
licenses and capital tax, as Mr.. Burke
has done.

The New Orleans correspondent of
the Louisville Courier Journal having
communicated to his paper the SANDER
that ID. A. Weber, recently murdered
in West Feliciana, was man of no.
toriously bad character who had gone
about with a shotgun threatening
the lives of citizens, was severely
taken to task by the New Orleans
Republican. The correspondent called
at the office of the latter journal and
expressed regret that he should have
been misled by untruthful represen-
tations into cruelly OBTAINING the
memory of the murdered man; he
said further, that having received in
disputable evidence OF the falsity of
his report, he had at once telegraphed
complete refutation. The Repub-
tiean justly remarks that such fair
minded gentlemen as the representa-
tive of the Courier Journal are credit
to their profession.

The Nichols General Assembly has
passed, and Gov. Nichols has signed
a joint resolution extending the extra
session nominally to April 30. 1t is
thought, however, that an adjourn
ment will take place in about ten
days. The extra session of the Re-
publican Assembly will expire next
Wednesday, but Gov. Packard will
issue a proclamation reconyening the
body Immediately. The Senate lacked
but two of a quorum Yesterday and it
was thought the necessary number
for the transaction of business could
be obtained, but the expectation was
not realized. Senator Allan of West
Baton Rouge persists in refusing to
attend either Senate and his strange
course is generally ascribed to ex-
trelnely unworthy motives.

We are glad to announce that the
New Orleans Republican has resumed
daily publication, and we hope its
conductors will see their way clear to
avoid another such faur pas as the
recent suspension.
N. B.-fhe foregoing was written
for publication in our issue of last
week, since which time the Republican
has again crawfshed, and now APP
pears only on Tuesdays and Satur-
days. The course of the proprietors
is severely criticised in Republican
circles at the capital, as it is the gen
eral opinion that the paper has made
enough money from patronage be-
slowed by Republican authorities to
justify the proprietors in running it
at loss an entire year, if necessary,
at period when it's services are SO
peculiarly essential to the interests of
its party as at present.

Extre,nes OF laent amid COLD.

In climate subject to the sudden and
severe changes 50 frequent in ours, it is no
wonder that multitudes in every community
are afflicted with Catarrh, Bronchitis Rheu-
matism, Neuralgia. and such chronic all
ments. But if all who are thus suffering
were acquainted with a reliable remedy for
such diseases, our valuable and uncertain
climate would lose half it's terrors Tor those
inheriting delicate constitutions or enfeebled
by disease. Such remedy has been dis
covered in the SEVEN SEALS OR GOLDEN
WONDER, which has been used with singular
success by thousands of sufferers from dis
eases produced by exposure, and sudden
changes in the atmosphere, and all others
that can be induced to try it, will assuredly
experience the same benefit. This purely
vegetable preparation is Il certain cure for

4 sensation was caused in Wash
ington this week by the resignation
of Senator Simon Cameron of Penn
sylvania, the senior member of the
upper branch of Congress, to which
he was first elected in l845. He
served from this time until 1849, was
reelected in 1857, resigned in 1861,
was again elected in 1867, and yet
again in 1872 for the term expiring
March 3, 1879. Mr.. Cameron has
reached the advanced age of 70, and
although he retains in great degree
the energy and strength Of earlier
years, a respite from the cares and
duties of official life can not prove
otherwise than agreeable. And any
regret that the aged Senator might
feel at terminating his public career
is softened by the fact that his son,
Don Cameron, ex-Secretary of War,
will succeed to the vacant Senatorial
chair. The Republicans of the Penn
sylvania Legislature held caucus to
settle upon candidate and the first
ballot stood Cameron 100, McMichael
l. The election will probably occur
on the Goth instant.

applauded who declared that Mr..
Barrett should be prosecuted by the

THE WEBER MURDER,

Nothing has yet been made public
to throw further light upon the das-
tardly assassination of Mr.. Don A.
Weber, Tax Collector of West Fell
ciana. 1t is said Gov. Nichols has
sent detectives to St. Francisville for
the purpose of ascertaining the iden-
tity of the murderers if possible, and
if these officers work in good faith it
seems almost inevitable that they
should be successful, at least to the
extent of hemming in parties who
were near the scene of the mmrder
with web of circumstantial evidence
that will ultimately lead to the ex-
posture of the real culprits.
The vilifying statement that Mr..
Weber had threatened the lives of
citizens and paraded the streets armed
with a gun, which as we said last week,
bore the impress of falsity upon its
face, is conclusively refuted by the
following card from well known and
thoroughly responsible citizen of West

A State election was held in New

was substantial triumph for the Re-
publicans, who carried the State by
majority of from 5000 to 1000, and
elected two out of three Congressman.
The contest in the first Congressional
District is so close that it will require
an official count to decide it. Benja-
min F. Prescott is elected Governor
over the standing Democratic candi-
date, Daniel Marcy, and the Legisla-
ture is overwhelmingly Republican.

The Crops.

The most gratifying accounts come
from all parts Of the country respecting
the grain crops and the harvest prospects,
FROM the West the reports are magniti-
cent Illinois is expected to yield BOO
| 000,00O bushels OF cereals, Iowa 175, 900,
600 and the other grain States in similar
| proportion.
| OF wheat the four States of Minnesota,
Iowa. Wisconsin and Kansas will give an
estimated return of III 900, 900 bushels
The wheat produce Of Michigan, Indi-
anna, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee
VIII probably exceed last years aggregate
by forty million bushels, giving those
states an increased export OF eighty mil
lions of bushels
These figures are equally gratifying to
producer and consumer. They insure the
former full return for the labors OF this
year and the losses Of proceeding seasons:
they furnish the latter with the first
ntcessarlcs Of life at price within the
reach Of his limited means, and the over
plus beyond the Joint consumption of pro-
ducerS and consumers represents SO much
additional capital to be employed in the
various arts and industries
There are some facts in connection
with this increase which qualify the first
impression of a superintendent natural
weld In Minnesota, for instance, we find
that her thirty-tivc millions of bushels
are the produce of two millions Of acres
ot land under wheat. The average of
eighteen bushels to the acre is not what
good farming should be contcnted with
1t indicates large holdings poorly titled.
Michigan. which has been longer settled
and where farming is more Systematically
practlsed, gives the excellent average OF
thirty bushels to the acre. But even this
leaves something to be desired, large as
ii is. An average of from thirty-tye to
forty bushels should be the farmers stand
ard. We note in our Southern exchanges
that several farmers have attained this
maximum, and We see no reason Why in
stead of existing in isolated instances, it
should not be the general average of all
our wheat growing States.
But a bountcous supply OF cereals means
abundance in all its protean shapes. 1t
includes, in the coming twelve-months, |
cheap stock feeding, cheap hog raising,
cheap everything that emanates from the
farm. not excepting cheap whislley. The |
only exception we would wish to make is
cheap labor. OF that and the starvation
that brought it about, all OF our manu-
tactulng centers have had more than
their fill. The misery the mechanical |
portion OF our population has passed |
through during the last twelve months |
should teach even the duliest that the |
farmer is the country's best friend, and |
that the first aim of our Legislation should |
he to cmancipate the land and its pro |
ducts from every artificial restriction. |
The South.
