\ REPORTED LOUISIANA CONFESSIONAL
Washington dispatch says:-There is a rumor
current here to the effect that Levissee, one
of the Republican Electors of Louisiana, re-
Gently asked for an Office in some of the
departments, and, being refused, lost his
temper and blurted out that his name had
been forged to the official return or decara-
ton of the vote of louisiana and that he
would make this fact known to Mr. Tilden.
The rumors say that Levissee asserts that
the original certificate of the Louisiana vote
was found to be lacking in some of the legal
forms; that 1t was sent back to New Orleans
to be corrected; that when the new paper
was drawn up Levissee was not at hand to
sign it, and that one Kelley, an employee I'M
der Kellogg, forged his signature, aud finally
that some Louisiana Republicans have taken
Levissee in charge to prevent his making the
matter known to Mr.. 1ilden's friends. The
story, whether true or not, Is, of course of
not the slightest importance as affecting the
President title.

HIS FRAUDULENcY.-It is given out
from Washington that the President shows
no disquiet whatever in view of the pend
ing proceedings in the House concerning
the alleged election frauds, but exhibits
the same apparent equanimity of temper
that has marked his conduct ever since
his Inauguration. VIII he be able to
maintain this serenity when all the facts
exposing these frauds are of record? If
so, it will prove him to be as callous and
insensate as the most casehardened Grim.

once said :-"Whenevera young man with
patrimony reaches his majority, in this

his legs, lights his cigar, buys fine horse

goes to protest, and never rests until he Is
bankrupt and has spent every dollar. +"

PRoFITs OF ONE SHEEP.-Mr. Angus
tus Young, informs the Hagersto,cn Maj
that he owns a eve which has produced
FIVE lambs at three yeanings, namely, in
February and August, 1877, and Februa-
Fy, 1873. These FIVE lambs, at $500
each, are valued at $500; the wool sold
for s6.12; total s2112. The value of
the original eve was $500 Here is an
increase of seven fold. Mr.. Young pre-
serves his sheep from dogs by penning
them, at night, within high enclosure.
What will pay the farmer better than
raising sheep? His profits may not in
crease seven fold, but, with proper care,
he can double his money annually.

0. s. Life-saving Service.

Alta meeting of the Baltimore Board Of
Trade, on the 9th inst, a series Of resolu-
tons were unanimously passed recommend
ing the adoption of the report of Hon. Chas.
b. Roberts, Chairman of the Committee
on Commerce, instead of that offered by
Senator Sargent, in regard to the transfer
of the United States Life-Saving Service
from the control of the Treasury Depart
ment to tat of the Navy Department.
The following is report of the proceed
ings:
The Committee of Commerce, to which
have been referred the various papers relating
to the proposed removal of the United States
Life-Saving Service from the Treasury to the
Navy Department, respectfully report, as fol-
lows:
The Life-Saving Service ofthe United States
has been from its organization under the con-
troll of the Treasury Department. Whatever
allegations have been made in regard to its
ineffieiency are clearly proven in the very
able report of the Hon. c. B. Roberts, and
the accompanying Official Documents from
VIC Nohuittcc VI Commerce OF the House oil
Representatives, to have resulted from mad
equate provisions on the part of the Govern
ment rather than from any defect in the sys-
tenn as it exists. In the opinion of this Com
mittee, it would be wiser to correct these de-
fects than to undertake the experiment of so
radical change as the transfer of the Service
from Its present.control.
Your Committee would therefore recon-
mend the passage of the following resolutions:
Resolred, That the transfer of the United
States Life-Saving Service from the control of
the Treasury Department to the Navy De.
gariment, as proposed in Senator Sargent $
Bill, Is. 777,) is, in the opinion of this Board,
unwise and inexpedient
ResOtred, That this Board recommends the
passage of the Bill III. r. 3,9SS) introduced
by the Hon. C. B. Roberts from the Com
mlttee OF Commerce of the House of Repre-
sentatives, as providing the requisite remedies
for any inadequacy or inefficiency of the pre-
sent system.
ResotUed, That an Official Copy of this Re-
port and these Resolutions be forwarded to
our Senators and Representatives in Congress.

The Republicans in Congress charge
that the investigation into the Presiden-
tial frauds Is only to make capital for Mr..
Tilden in 1880 So far is this from the
truth that consideration for Mr.. Tilden
enters not into the case at all. Mr.. Blair
himself has given this charge emphatic
denial. Outside of very small coterie
of New York politicians, he seems to be
scarcely thought of for 1880.
