greatly alarmed at the promising pros
pect that the days of their monopoly
are ended. Between Thurman, Chaffee
and Lamar in the Senate, there is a
unity OF purpose that will break the

job. Thurman demands that they shall
pay up, ChsfTee that they shall pro rate

that they shall share the transcunti-

publicans from South Carolina. two
from Louisiana, one from North Carolina,
and one from Virginia. OF these, the three
seats from South Carolina, one of the two
from Louisiana, and the one from Virginia
are contested by Democrats. There seems
little doubt that Messrs. Acklen. Tillman,
Richardson, ct al, will get their seats as soon
as o committee has investigated the manner
In which elections in these districts were con-

The glorious fight the Philadelphia militia
made ct Pittsburg during the riots, when II
fred into q crowd Of women and children and
killed several Of them, has resulted in its com
plete decentralization and disorganization
Col. r.. d. Benson and all tho officers of the
First Regiment Of Pennsylvania National
Guards the crack regiment of the State, have
resigned The cause of the trouble is the
manner in which the regiment was treated at
Pittsburg, and the discourtesies shown to the
regimental commanders by the superior Off
GERS. On the other hand, complaints have
been made against the regiment, and twenty
five members who refused to go to Pittsburg
are now under court-martal, while those who
did GO are being indicted in Pittsburg for
murder. This and other facts have thorough
iy demoralized the Philadelphia militia, and,
tits believed, will bring about the disorganza-
tion of the first division of the National
Guard (the Philadelphia troops We suppose
this will serve as an additional reason to
make the Pennsylvanians call for an increase

The decision Of Judge Rogers In the sui
Of the City Railroad Company against the
city, relative to the assessment of the prop
erty Of the company, involves an important
question under our State assessment law.
The question arose on mandamus by the
company to compel The city to accept and
abide by decision of the arbtrators in case
Of disputed assessments. The city contends
that the award of the arbitrators Is too low
that this award greatly undertakes the
assessable property of the company, is not
In accord with the law, and would give to ex-
perts and arbitrators judicial powers and
enable them to exempt property from taxa
tion powers which they cannot exercise
The mandamus was discharged for these
reasons. 1t is suggested by the Judge that
this decision does not prevent the company
from disputing the right and justice of the
assessment the city may make of their

The French Republican vote is announced
as 4,696, 1877. The Republican majority will
be about 100000. In forty-eight constit-
uencies not single vote was poled for the
government candidates. It was announced
the other day that the MaeMahonites had
carried thirty-six Republican seats. This is
an error. The Conservatives gained 1t Is
true, thirty-six seats, but the official candi-
dates were not quite as successful In twelve
OF these districts the official candidate was
beaten by another Conservative candidate
In this manner three Bonapartists, two Or
leanists and eight Constitutionalists were
elected. The Constitutionalists, who sup
ported MacMahon in the last Assembly, sue
ceeded, notwithstanding the Ill will of Mac.
Mahon, in gaining a number of seats. Only
two of them were selected as official candi-
dates by the Marshal, but they succeeded,
nevertheless, in carrying nine districts.
The official candidates gained only twenty
four seats. with some thirteen second cleo
tons necessary, majority of which they
will probably carry.

The Department of Agriculture Of the Uni
ted States, which a short time since pretended
to believe that it was possible to introduce the
cultivation and manufacture of beet-roct ST.
gar in this country, has wisely concluded that
this is both impossible and unnecessary. as
Louisiana is fully able to supply the whole
country with sugar and save 1t thereby nearly
hundred millions year, if she be only
granted the few requests she makes.
The Department Of Agriculture says in o
late report:
The summary of correspondence Of planters
| with the department shows that the United
| States Ia raying annually to other nations i'm
mense sums Of money for staple article Of
and support being afforded. might be pr ,duced
at home; that an improved system of abor. in
vovng the diyi,on and cultivation of smaller
tracts by individual owners and a more thor
ough and scientific handling of the cane
would very large ~ increase the sugar product

cuped and abandoned sugar lands in Louisi-
| protection afforded by good levee system the
establishment of central factories. an the con
struction OF REPRESENTATIONS way. and that n
which, is now being encouraged will give
growth, to individual in1ependencs, draw
ences. and build up and energize new and
thriving communities such as exist wherever
self-reliant intelligent labor fiour,shes.
The United States sends nearly hundred
million dollars out Of the country each year
for one article alone that can be produced in
this country il but one-fifth of tho sum spent
annually for sugar be expended in fitting
the Louisiana sugar country for cultivation.
Such a drain as that must impoverish any
country in the world unless it be stopped at
once.
Here is document in favor of the national
protection of our levees, that comes from a
branch of the government itself. 1t is the ap-
peal, not of the people of Louisiana for levees,
but Of the government of the United States,
and this appeal shows that not only will
Louisiana, but the whole country, be benefited
S1O0, 900, 900 a year by our levees here. And
yet in spite Of this some Northern papers
still insist that the proposed aid to our Ievees
is a mere local affair, a COB" for the benefit
of Louisiana alone and not for the whole
country.

Senator Cameron, Of Wisconsin, seems to
give up Wisconsin to the Democrats. He
is particularly mournful and alarmed about
the coming election. and has no hope OF
success in his State. The Ohio defeat will
do great damage to the Wisconsin Repub-
Leans, he declares; in addition to this,
| there are thousands of dissatisfied Repub-
| leans who will refuse to go to the polls,
because they are dissatisfied with the
President-not with his so-called Southern
policy, but rather with civil service reform.
Lastly. the melancholy Senator declares
thousands of Republicans have gone off to
the Greenback ticket which will draw its
strength mainly from the Republican ranks.
In view Of these facts, and the additional fact
that the Republicans at the late election boast
ed of the very slmmcst of majority in Wiscon-
sin. there seems to be no reason to doubt that
the Democrats will carry that State by fine
rolling majority. AS the Republican major
ity in Wisconsin in 1876 was less than that in
Ohio, there seems to be no reason why Bish-
ops Ohio majority should not be exceeded in
the Badger State. such contingency SEN
ator Angus Cameron is evidently preparing
himself for, and with good cause.
