given him away, as 1t were, in his testimony
at Washington by saying he was financially

Anderson says he could not get away with
THAT $500OO0 SCHEME,
because he was in Jail In Washington at the
time mentioned, under the orders of the Ser

Senate until he returned, which was some
time in April. Then, in regard to the State
House and levee jobs, he said he didn't have
anything to do with them.

LONDON, July 13.-A dispatch from Vienna
says that Austria now manifests desire to
become the guardian and protector of Turkey
In Europe, as England has become the guar
dian and protector of Turkey In Asia.
Count Andiassy has had a number Of long
conferences with the Turkish envoy at Ber-

nople has been closeted with the Sultan and
his prime minister on several occasions.
It was supposed that these conferences had
for their object the adjustment Of the arrange

Preparations for q Grand Reception to
Earl BeacOnsfieId On his Return
from BERLIN.

LONDON, July 13-The arrangements for
the reception Of Earl Beaconsfied on his re-
turn from Berlin next Tuesday will be extern
sive. A special train for his conveyance from
Dover to London will be provided, and a COM
mittee of the Carleton Club will meet him at
Dover and accompany him up to town. At
Charing Cross station another committee of
the Club and many members will meet him,
and the popular enthusiasm will manifest
itself in various ways. The time for the ban
quet at the Club Is not yet fixed. 1t will de-
pend upon the state OF Earl Beaconstield's g
health upon his return.
It is said that his indisposition has been Sc
rious, but that he is now as well as usual.
The railway authorities heartily cooperate
with the committee Of the Carleton Club In
making arrangements for the reception Of the
Premier. The reception will fall but little
short of that given to the Prince Of Wales on
his return from India. The floor Of the great
station will be covered with carpet, and vast
quantities of native and tropical plants and
flowers will be placed in rows, and elevated
seats will be arranged for those invited to at
tend. Many of the houses along the route will
be handsomely decorated.

We have received the Louisian sugar crop
report for 1878 OF that well-known statis-
tician, NJ. Alcee Bouchereau, the true son Of
his respected father, and we can commend its
contents to our sugar growers and factors. 1t
Is replete with thefullest statistics of the late
crop, giving parish by parish. The work is
one most carefully compiled, and its figures
are as accurate as those of any previous edi-
tion. 1t contains a careful review of the
weather and sugar crops for the year,
the markets, as well as the recent action
of the government on sugar interests. In ad-
dition to this it gives suocinct account OF
the proceedings OF the Louisiana Sugar Plant
ers' Association and the Mason process. The
work is one which every merchant ought to
have and every planter consult.

REPUBLICANS I'M COUNCIL.
4 he Custom -HOuse officials Discuss the
AitmAtlNn.

AILMAGhbns
On Friday afternoon the various heads of
the Custom House, with the exception of one
or two perhaps, held quiet little caucus in
one of the rooms of the building, the session
lasting nearly two hours.
The original idea must have been to map
out, as leaders, some line or policy to be pur-
sued during the present campaign and com
Ing election, and that such matters were
discussed is known, though perhaps no con-
clusion was arrived at.
One subject under discussion, and one which
it is said caused no little debate, was the
proper course for the leaders to advise in re-
gard to the subject Of the constitutional con-
ventiOn, various arguments being offered for
and against it, and no definite line Of advice or
policy being agreed upon.
The necessity of an organ was spoken OF,
and the views Of those present were unani-
nous that the Republican party should have
daily newspaper in the State, but how to
raise 1t was the question, and even that was
undecided when the caucus adjourned.
Rumor has 1t that the Republicans have
agreed in this and other Southern States to
combine with the National party, the ALI
ance, the Socialists and all other organiza-
tions outside of the Democratic party In order
to carry the election but even with this COM
bination they see anything but guaranteed
success.

ers Row In Order-Dids Kellogg
Make Mistake?
The average Custom -houser was bowling
mad yesterday over the Weber testimony,
and more especially those whose names had
figured conspicuously as having received large
amounts of cash from the big steals or jobs
referred to by Weber in his testimony Of the
day previous.
Bechtel, who Is reported to have received
$1,000, was met coming down the stairway,
and when questioned he denied emphatically
ever having
GOBBLED ONE CENT
OF that $1O0O but as times are dull he would
not, he said, object to windfall of about that
amount now.
The next individual declared that now the
"boys" in the Fifth Congressional District
had an elegant rig on Pinchback In that mat
ter of $1,000 or so which Weber said Pinch
gave him, and intimated that Pinch's enemies
had bought up all Of the extra copies
OF THE MORNING PAPERS,
and were marking them and sending them
into the district named, to defeat Pinch In his
race for congressional honors.
Morris, the agent who, as Weber said, made
the arrangement, declared that he had not
seen yet that 500, 600 nor any part OF it, though
he wouldn't object to taking some, nor would
he deny but that he had received brokerage
as Weber charged.
He did not have any of Webers testimony II

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The message OF Gov. Nichols, printed
in the DEMOCRAT yesterday morning, Ia
so clear and business-li document
that 1t requires little or no comment.
We find In 1t no suggestion to dispute,
and none that is not SO plainly pre-
sented that 1t requires no criticism.
The portion Of the message devoted
to the State debt Is perhaps the most
important. The funded debt, the Gov
ernor states, Is 81, 279, $50 &c, while the
outstanding fundable obligations may
increase the sum to $11, 7s5, 293 81. I'm
paid interest, due January, 1874, and
other unfundable debts to a compare
lively small amount, are outstanding.
and are provided for under the laws.
This shows very healthy financial
condition and one not calculated to
Cypress the taxpayers. The sentiment
throughout the State is, that the debt
as it stands, is q valid obligation and
should be paid. We have watched the
sentiment Of the people Of every Sec
ton Of Louisiana and we have not
heard from single parish voice
raised in opposition to the recognition
of the debt as it stands.
The recommendations Of the message
generally will, we feel sure. meet the
Of the people and the
Legislature.
