The Louisiana Commission.

Hon, John G. Brown, of the Com
mission sent by the President to
Louisiana in the spring of 1877, sent
to Secretary Sherman a letter on the
18th instart, enclosing a draft for
SS27,63 to pay his share (one-fifth
part Of the expenses of that Com
mission of five, saying he supposed
when he accepted the place, and be-
lieves now, that the President had
power to appoint the Commission
and order payment for their services.
Since the Senate questions the legal.
ity of the disbursement, he desires
to pay his share. Secretary Sherman
replied to day, saying: 81 am direc-
ted by the President to return this
draft to you uncOllectcd, as he is of
the opinion that Congress will yet
make provision for the expenditure
and at all events you ought not to
pay any part of it," After a review
of the circumstances under which
the Commission was appointep, the
Secretary says: "In this case | have
assurances from Senators that the
money would have been appropria-
ted, but that the amendment propos-
ed was at SO late a period of the ses-
sion as to delay and endanger the
passage of one of the leading appro-
priatiOn bills. | cannot doubt hat
Congress, at its next session, when
this subject will be again presented,
will make the necessary appropaia-
tion but if it does not, the Presi-
dent VIII feel it his duty to contribute
from his own means this important
expenditure for the public service,
without rermitting you to reimburse

Yesterday wuz glorious day for

covered from the depreshn NV the

We found we he'd sperit enuff left
to decorate the graves NV our fallen
heroes-the confedrit heroes NV
course.
We went and strewed flowers over
the graves NY our slane heroes, and |

to the immediate possibility NV my

for that last pare of boots !" sed an
other, and almost every man in the
assemblage testified to his interests
in me.
/ remarked that it wuz about ez
plane ez anything could be that the
heroes we Wuz standing over he'd not
died in vain. Conkered at Vicks-
burg, we were conquerors at Wash
ington. These men he'd not died in
yane. They had taught the south
| the important lesson that while it is
yooselis to attack the north in the
field, the south kin still govern so
long ez there is a northern dimocrat
wich wants to be president, and an
other Wich wants a postoffice. They
he'd taught also the folly NV attempt
ing to destroy the government. Why
destroy that wich yoo kin own? Ez
a warlike help the northern dino
crat wuz uy no value; to count one in
congris he is invaluable.
Hey these men died in vane? :?
Look at their comrades in Washing
ton. Where are they? Is there a
federal soljer appointed to any place
in the house? Does a confedrit hold
down his head now in the capitol NV
our country?
Did they die in vain? Look at the
appropriashen bills now before the
house.

Our soljers will be penshund +! The
gray will stand beside the bloc, and
we shell be on common level hence
forth. We shell make our penshuns
date back to the close Nv the war,
which will give a middle-aged south

potency for his children. And when

this money, don't pay none of the
taxes, the gorgeousnis NY the pros
peck kin be appreshiated.

The Berlin correspondent Of the London
Times, writing under date OF July Sd, gives
the following as the language OF Prince Bis
marck In reply to remark that Europe
was convinced that he earnestly desired
peace:
~ wished for peace, and contributed as
much rs possible to it as soon as 1 could
clearly see my way-that is to say, from
the time of Count Schouvalof's first visit to
me at Furstenburg. / sincerely respected
this man for having left London courage
ously to tell his master the truth, ana VINO
on arriving at st. Petersburg incurred the
risk Of disgrace and exile II not sllccesSful
in fulfilling his patriotic and Humanitarian
mission. Despite my feeble health, despite
the imperious commands CT my physicians,
I did not hesitate to undergo the fatigue i'm
nosed on me as president OF the congress; but
il duty calls me to bear these fatigues in the
interest of peace it does not go to the length
of bidding me do so II peace is not likely to
result from our deliberations. England has
here achieved magnificent success. She
has made Bulgaria end at the foot OF the
Balkans; she has restored to Turkey the
-Egean Sea; she has covered Constantine
ple by the Balkans, and the question OF the
Straits will be settled to her satisfaction.
But it must be remembered that Russia was
victorious, and that serious account must ne
taken OF the concessions she has already
made. do not wish to recall my COMPARE
son OF the whale and the elephant. Eng
land has doubtless proved by the pre-
parations she has already made that
She might become military pow
er, that she might sustain war last
ing several years. But herein consists our
sole interest, which is that Of peace, and
which guides our efforts. a war between
two great Powers like England and Russia
would grievously affect the whole OF Eu-
rope, paralyze all interests, and menace
every one. The danger is that, despite all
efforts. the conflict would become general,
for no one knows the incidents which
might arise during prolonged struggle,
not to mention that universal commerce
would be harrassed and the paths OF the
ocean become uncertain. I say this be.
caus am now convinced that we shall
sign, peace. After seeing the Bulgarian ques-
ton settled l was certain we should nave
peace. On this question saw the English
would 90 to war; and when, on Friday
the 21st OF June, the negotiations between
England and Russia broke down FASTENED
10 the plenipotentiaries CT both Powers and
caused negotiations to be renewed on the
subject of the Withdrawal Of the troops.
Neither the English nor the Russians rem
dered Justice to the brave and patriotic
efforts Of their representatives. The Eng
Iish ought not to forget that they have at
ta;red great success without war and with
out spending the blood and money which
great war would have cost them. Count
Schouyaloff certainly does his best, and i
cannot but admire him in the congress"
