THE MARSHA AND THE Log
MEN.

MEN.
United States Marshal Whar-
tons mission to Calcasieu achieved
no other practical result except
that of completing the inventory
of the logs seized. The logs were
at last inventoried, as ought to
have been done months ago, under
the administration of Marshal Pit
kin. The inventory shows 10000
logs seized by the government, OF
which $4,000 are claimed by in
tervenors.
Thus far there have been no
claims set up to the 10000 in the
hands of the marshal, and yet
these logs must have been the
product of a great deal of labor,
and the question in which We feel
a sympathetic interest is, whether
this labor is to be unrequitted,
whether the poor, hardy axmen,
who, by the neglect of the govern.
ment officials were led to bestow
their severe toll and incur the
great hardships Of cutting and
squaring for expectation that large
amount of valuable timber, will be
compensated or sent adrift. So
far as the spectators and mill
men are concerned, they appear to
be able to take care of themselves.
Their rights are amply protected,
and we presume they have paid or
secured the wages OF the laborers
employed by them.
They have their Intervention and
some of them appear to have Sc
cured the favor of the government
agent, as an order was sent to the
United States Marshal to release
lot or lots of the logs in his pos
session. and claimed by one OF Il
ring o. mill men who are charged
by the other claimant and the log
men with being in cahoot with the
government. Both the marshal
and his deputy hesitated to carry
out the order for this release,
rightly apprehending at least the
suspicion of some coalition OF this
character, until the government
agent, Carter, came to the ground
and directed the release in person,
This naturally excited suspicion
and discomfort. 1t was under the
influence OF this feeling that Col.
Wharton's proposition to all par
ties, to allow the logs to be trans
ferred to the mills, sawed and held
in the form of merchantable lum-
ber until the final decision Of the
United States Court, was rejected
and the status quo ante bellana re-
sumed. Meantime the claimants
abide their application to our Con-
necticut Court to be permitted 10
bond their logs. We are gratifed
to lealn from Col. Wharton that
the condition of affairs in Calca-
sieu is peaceful and orderly, that
he met with unbounded hospi-
tality and coul teous treatment,
and that the much maligoed citi-
zens and logmen OF the good old
democratic parish constitute Q
class of citizens who will compare
tayorably with any other in this
Or any other State /; that the au-
thority Of the United States is re-
in the most cheerful and
cordial manner. All that the peo-
pie ask is that the government
will protect them against the OPP
