ANOTHER SAFE BROKEN OPEN.

Last night, some burglars, evidently
a portion Of the above gang, enterad the
coal Office Of Benz. Hirst, at Thirteenth
and Market streets, by breaking open the
front door. They then cut the safe door
off its hirges and broke open a desk
drawer, but beyond few postage stamps
they obtained no booty.

sAFE BURGLARS

ABLES STOLEN

ABLEs STOLEN
Between IL and O'Clock, last night,
some thieves entered the Office of Lewis
Zebley, lumber merchant, at Fourteenth
and King streets, by forcing the back
door bolt, and then proceeded to operate
on the safe. They drilled hole in the
door, and filed the inside space with
powder, which, at the proper time, they
exploded.
The explosion was very heavy and
was perceptably felt around the entire
neighborhood.
The safe, which stood under desk,
was blown from its position, and thedesk
was dashed to pieces. The safe door
was blown from its hinges up against the
ceiling, breaking a large hole in the
plast ,ring. The floor was also somewhat
broken, and various articles were scatter
ed promiscuously around the room.
The noise of the explosion alarmed
officers Springer and Jordan, who hurried
to the Office and arrived there in time to
keep the burglars from returning to CON-
plete their work. Nothing was stolen
and even had the burglars completed
their efforts they would nothave obtained
any considerable booty, as the safe con.
tanned only deeds, books and papers. The
key was underneath the safe, and had
the burglars searched around they would
have effected the robbery without the aid
of powder.

WASHINGTON. April 24.-The members
of the commission have arrived this
morning, and are now laying their re-
port before the President and Cabinet.
The report will be simply compila-
tion OF advioes sent from time to time
during the operations OF the Commits
sion In New Orleans, with some modifi-
cations designed to head off the policy
OF the extreme Radicals as recently
foreshadowed In the published letters OF
Blaine and Ben Wade. The nomination
of Judge Spofford gives great satisfac-
tion to the President, on account of
their associations in early life in Ohio,
and is generally regarded as we'll

His Offer Of q Compromise is Politely
Declined.
No Possibility Of His Being Seated In the

Especial 10 N. o. Democrat

WASHINGTON, April "a. - kellogg's
hopefulness OF getting Into the Senate
rests upon peculiar foundation. just
before the adjournment OF the Senate,
ln March, Morton. In conversation with
prominent Louisiana Republican poll
tician, said that he should support the
claims OF Eustis when his credentials
came up, on grounds cognate to those
Dn which he urged tho seating Of kel-
Iogg.
subsequently 1t transpired that over
lures were made to two or three Demo-
Gratis, known TO be particular friends OF
Eustis. to induce them to abstain from
voting and let Kellogg in. the considera-
tion being that after Kellogg was seated
for the long term Eustis would get o
favorable report from the Committee
ON Elections, and be seated for the short
term. This munificent offer was re-
iected, and count OF noses having
shown that OF the utmost stretch Kel-
logg would lack two and perhaps three
votes OF being seated. Morton smother
cd the report onTKellogg's case.
1t is not knSwn whether knowledge
of this offer oeme to Eustis himself or
not, but the Impression Is that 1t did,
and that Eustis dictated the declination
OF the offer, not wishing to mix his case
with Kellogg's or be party to any bar
gain whatsoever.
Notwithstanding this rebuff, the san
guine Kellogg still believes that the
scheme can be made to work, and that,
by yoking himself to Eustis. he can
demoraIize the Democratic vote In the
Senate sufficiently to slide in by the
skin OF his teeth. The Republicans In
the Senate who would have voted
against Kellogg last March, will vote
against him next session, and ho cannot
possibly be seated II all the Democrats
are Ia their seats and vote solid against
him. BUELL..

settlement of tbe Louisiana question.
IN, T. Heraldl
After sixteen years the great war is at
last over. The last rebel laid down his
arms In 1866, twelve years ago, but In
one way or another the constitution has
remained suspended since then and the
country has been kept in q condition of
constructive war, until now, at last,
Federal soldiers cease everywhere to in
terfere in the State governments, and
the people Of all the States are once
more happily to rule themselves in ac-
cordance with the fundamental organic
law Of the land, and thus the great war
is over; the people Of the United States
live once more under the shelter OF the
constitution.
The withdrawal OF the Federal troops
to their barracks In New Orleans will
deserve to be remembered as great
event in our history. 1t signalizes the
final and complete return to constitu-
tional government. When the Federal
interference ceased in Arkansas at the
command OF Congress, In 1875, the peo-
pie Of that State, Of both parties and
joyful Thanksgiving for the restoration
Of peace, security ana prosperity

Of self-government to Louisiana by a
similar celebration, for President Hayes
undoubtedly, by this last act Of his,
gives a new lease Of life to the Republic,
q new feeling Of permanence and se-
curity to all interests In every State; he
adds to the value Of every piece Of prop.
erty In the Union, because he opens the
way to renewal Of confidence and to q
revival Of business. He has made the
future safe, as 1t has not been safe in al
the long weary years since the first CUR

The President has redeemed his frs
