NEW ORLEANS, Thursday, April &c, 1877.
Through all the South, for two days past, great
guns have been firing and church bells ringing to
celebrate the victory of the White League, to
give notice to the world that by outrages the mo.t
inhuman, by the practice of revolving cruelties'
by the preparation of atrocities wthou. name
by systematic fraud, by murder, violence anu
bloodshed, the republican majorities of all the
Cotton States have been overcome, and perhaps
forever placed under the control of desperate, a
lawless minority. And even while the guns are
booming and the bells ringing to commemorate
this triumph of might over right, men, women
and christian clergymen are giving thanks to the
Supreme Being for having overthrow what they
are pleased to call the ,hieving Radicals the cow

politicians, who have robbed them and disgraced
their country. And are these charges all true

the Packard Court. The appointment OF King
seems to solve the difficulty. The Packard Court
under the Constitution, should be composed OF
five members. but only three were appointed by
Ke!logg-John +. King, Leonard and Ludellng
These three constituted quorum. without qao-
rum the Court cannot exist, without the attend
ance of each one Of these three quorum is i'm.
possible, as the two remaining judges who should
technically make up the quorum can never be ap
pointed. siuce even if Packard, assuming to oe
Governor. should nominate two persons, he would
have no Senate that would confirm them. 1he
abandonment Of the court, therefore, by any one
of these three members works its efcctusl disco
luton.
King will accept the position Of Collector. Thl'
leaves only Leonard and Ludelng in the court
but Leonard il already elected to Congress from
a district in which there is no contest, and would
of course, be seated. Now that King has aban'
doned the court, and that body is destroyed, Leon
ard will claim his seat in Congress, and by thai
act also abandon the court. This leaves only
Ludeng.

& The Chicago Tribune condemns the
speculation which has sprung up in bread
stuffs. 1t says: "This speculation will
do the country no good. 1t is only the re-
yival of bad habit that will be followed
by precisely the some consequences in all
cases. IL is the renewal of debauch,
common enough some years ago. which
will bring on headaches and heartaches
The country will derive no benefit from it.
The material advantage to the American
people of this foreign war will depend
upon its duration. and the consequent for
eign demand upon American production
and industry, but this speculative mania
will make the material disadvantages APP
parent from the first. Flour already costs
81 so per barrel more to the consumer
than it cost a few weeks ago, and other
commodities will follow in the some di-
rection. The farmers, having parted with
the bulk OF their 1876 crop. will get no
immediate benefit from the increased
prices, and the war may be over before
they will be able TO realize on their crop
of 1877. Meanwhile the cost of living
will have been increased to all by the
speculative excitement, and the dollar
which is earned in actual service will not
be worth as much to the man who works
for It, but whose compensation has not
been enlarged by the speculative move
ment. Some men may grow suddenly
rich and others suddenly poor, but this ex-
change of money on bets will be only del-
rimental to the community at large for the
time being. and will nowse affect the ulti-
mate influence of the war upon the bust
ness of the United States"

Accounts from various points in Mime
sofa, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska
aud Missouri are encouraging with respect
to the prospects tor wheat and corn. A
vast amount of seeding has been done
within the past two or three weeks, the
farmers being moved to extra efforts in
order to offset, as far as possible, the raw
ages of the grasshopers, so that the acre
aye will largely surpass that Of previous
years. Good crops will find the North
west in shape to reap the full benefit Of
high prices.

BILL-POSTERS.

Take him wherever you find him, and
find him wherever you may, the bill
poster is a peculiar genius. Possibly it
is the suIreptitious manner in which he
is forced to ply his vocation in silent
nocturnal wanderings, with paste-pot
and brush, that work upon his charac-
ter and sharpen his wits, but it must be
confessed that he readily overcomes all
obstacles and does just about as he
peases. What does it matter that you
caution him with a conspicuous sign to
"Post No Bills ?" In the darkness OF the
night he cometh like thief and a rob-
ber, and, in spirit of impudence bor-
dering upon the sublime, he plasters
your warning over with yellow poster.
At midnighps holy hour, when other
men slumber in blissful repose, he
moves about stealthily, ornamenting
their front door-steps with little pla-
cards which adhere with the persist
ency Of Aunt Jemimas Plaster, or illu-
minating their back gates with the most
gaudy of flaming showbills. He makes
his rounds as silently and accomplishes
his work as mysteriously as the iniml-
table Jack Frost, and he is no doubt re-
sponsible for as much mischief.
Many time the population OF our city
arises in the morning, rubs its multitud-
inous eyes drowsily, and looks about
upon the wonders which the bil-poster
has performed while it slept. One would
imagine that whirlwind of paste and
posters had come upon us in the night,
scattering its paper snow-flakes all
about and sticking them up in the most
inconceivaDle places. They cling affec-
tionately to telegraph poles, and are
thickly strewn on cellar-doors. They
cover with glory the dilapidated ash
barrel which was left out over night,
and the despised garbage-boX is clothed
in them as with fine raiment. The bill
poster has been abroad, and everywhere
left traces of his master hand.
Bill.posting, like most other pursuits,
is not what it was in other days. 1t has
been systematized and reduced to sci
ence, so to speak. Formerly there were
many independent bill-posters, each one
of whom carried on business of his
own, and thus earned precarious live
Iihood, but in later years a few enter
prising individuals have monopolized
most OF the trade and driven the smaller

A BROOKLYN man, one Mr.. Isaac
Chomel, has invented plan for pro-
pelling vessel by utilizing the rolling
motion of the ship at sea. In working
model he has constructed a water tight
compartment in which he has placed a
movable platform, which, in yielding to
the motion OF the vessel, turns the shalt
of a propeller. When the platform is
inclined to an angle Of thirty degrees
the propeller has made eight revolu.
tions. Passengers will be more content
to suffer the pangs of sea-sickness when
they know that the motion of the ship
is the motive power that drives it for

IN all the struggles of the last three
weeks no name has been brought as
prominently forward and as clearly
stamped With The seal Of greatness as
that of John Young Brown, Of Ken
lucky. He not only showed himself a
patriot, but by his great eloquence was
able to impress his patriotism on all
around him. To his speech, in great
measure, was due the good sense of the
men who prevented the Democratic
party from committing an error from
which it would never have recovered.
Men of all parties admit, that when
he turned to his Democratic friends with
the appeal, 'Be patient, be moderate,
be prudent. We can accept defeat, we
can not accept dishonor," the impracti-
cable efforts at obstructlng the work oi
counting the Electoral vote were virtu'
ally at an end.

fry out of the business. They employ
many men and make contracts on a
large scale with the managers OF differ
snt places OF amusement, and extensive
advertisers, to do their posting.
In New York city riust of the work of
this kind Is divided between two firms,
and, as is generally the case with rivals
in trade, these two houses are inveterate
enemies. They keep up continual
warfare, and frequently indulge in
pitched battles, which are far more
ludicrous than serious. 1t is not an un-
usual thing for the two factions to en-
counter each other while in the pursuit
OF their employment, and an ARRAY is
the inevitable result. They pummel one
another with brushes, empty the con-
tents of paste buckets on rival heads
and batter them with the buckets.
One party often follows in the wake Of
another, and either secretly tears down
his freshly pasted posters OF covers
them with others OF his own. In this
manner the managers of Booths Thea
ter had about $1,000 worth of fine bills
destroyed in a single night. So fre'
quent, in fact, have occurrences of this
nature become, that managers are be.
coming discouraged with the system OF
bill-posting, and are seriously consider
ing a change to something different and
better. Some are introducing small
board. neatly finished, for their bills
which are intrusted to cigar dealers and
prominent places OF resort. Others con-
| template the distribution of small bills
aud the abandonment altogether o
either printing or posting the large ant
expensive ones.
