Beaconsfield, it is said, offered Russia Il
compromise, the other day, on the question
of the election of prince of Bulgaria That
prince is yet to be elected, and much depends
on whom Is chosen. In order to still further
cement the friendly ties between Russia and
England, the Duke of Edinburgh was sug-
gested as fit person for this princpality.
The duke is married to the favorite daughter
of the Gar, and Is SO pro- Russian In his sym
pathies as TO arouse the popular prejudice at
home His Russian sympathies, his English
birth, would, 1t was claimed, please both
those countries. The Grand Duchess Marie,
otherwise Mrs. Edinburgh, was sent on mis-
sion to her father to bring about this result.
It is thought, however, that she has failed In
her enterprise and that the whole scheme has
fallen through The Prince of Battenburg,
nephew of the Gar, is now the leading can
didate for the vacant principality.

A SHAMEFUL STORY.

In our Geographic columns this morning
viii be found the shameful story of the man.
ner In which Kellogg and Warmoth, In Their
own personal interests, have injured the credit
of this State and caused heavy loss TO those
who depended upon it. For several days past
we have had intelligence of this rascally
transaction, In which not only Warmoth and
Kellogg were engaged, but also Spencer, OF
Alabama, Dorsey, Of Arkansas, and several
other dirty carpet-bag and scallawag polit-
clans.
Happily the scheme of these fellows has
been found out and Immediately Louisiana
Consols went up. There Is no reason In the
world why our bonds should not go up to par.
The interest tax Is provided for In the eonsti-
tuition; and In the election of 1874 the great
mass OF the people accepted and consented to
pay the debt on It's present basis, and 1t can
not now be- repudlated or modified except TO
the dlshonor Of the State and the party which
does it.
The Fiscal Agent Is, as will be seen by our
columns this morning, ready to pay the July
interest, and under the law allowing the Fiscal
Agent or any other bank q liberal interest on
sums advanced to meet any deficit, there Is no
doubt that the January interest will also be
promptly paid. Indeed, the outlook in Louis
lana Is such, that, If the rings and menopolies
do not again interpose, in their selfish inter-
ests. to thwart the great reform measures de-
manded by the people, the credit of Louisiana
will be placed on a rock, and her bonds COM
mand, as they should do, q premium.

ISLANDERS, SIR"

MIR. Frederick Lauer, the oldest brewer in
the United States, recently delivered an adj
dress before the Brewers Congress, at Balti-
more, in which he said:
There are examples of nations that have
practIced prohibition, but it has invariably
been to their. great disadvantage. The Mo
hammedans adhered to total abstinence for
period OF 1900 years. They constituted the
principal Inhabitants Of Turkey on the three
continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and
the Turks as rule, have faithfully adhered
to their. prohibitory laws. We find that, of all
the nations on the earth, they are the most
stupid, sluggish, slovenly, and even the most
filthy. They are as far back in civilization to-
day as they were when they conquered Con-
stantnople, nearly 900 years ago. Being a
nation OF Water-drinkers, they have become
as stagnant morass-an offense to civiliza-
ton
He went on to say that the Russians were
solid drinkers. They are what might be
termed potable people," In conflict with
weak water-drinking nation they naturally
proved conquerors.
Says he:
The Germans probably whipped the French
for the same reason. The Germans drink
beer and good solid wines, while the French
do very little in the way of beer and are given
to light wines. The BritOas are nation of
drinkers. and they whip everybody that they
can lay hands on.
MI. Lauer goes on to apply his parallel to
this country in this wise:
In our own country we have seen how the
beer-drinking North walked off with the tenn
perance and light-tippling South. We might
go on IN this way multiplying examples in
definitely. There is evidently good deal In
beer.
Now, all thisis a very fine argument against
the barbarism of prohibition" and we are
naturally indisposed to controvert any argu-
ment on Mr.. Lauer's side Of the case. Yet we
must confess that all of his instances are
against him. For example, it cannot be de-
MED that the individual Turk, as soldier,
man Of courage and heroic capabilities, even
during the last war, was worth just about
three Russians. In the case of the Franco
Prussian war the instance Is just as bad, for the
reason that the failure of the French was due
to the drunkenness of Bazaine and the other
French leaders, and not to the sobriety of the
troops. AS to the comparison between the
Northern and Southern troops, we can only
say that the most lament4ble circumstance
contested with the fall of the Confederacy

The great Jackson route is the shortest,
quickest and best Northern line to New York
and the Eastern cities. During the heat of
summer the greatest comfort In travelling is
found on the route by Chicago or Louisville
and along the shores of the great lakes, or
through the grand scenery of the Allegheny
mountains. To pass through these regions
there Is no route so direct, oquick or so good
as the Jackson, with It's through cars, steel
track and short line, enabling its trains to
leave New Orleans one hour later than any
other and make the same time.
Excursion tickets are now on sale by this
route, good till October 81, to all the attrac-
tive and famous summer resorts of the North
west, best known among which are Wauke-
sha, with its celebrated springs; Oconomowoc,
the centre of the delightful lake district of Wis
consin; Green Lake, Grand Haven, st. Paul,
Niagara Falls, Montreal, Quebec, etc. The
rates are as low or lower than to watering
places in other parts of the country, and liv-
ing both at hotels and boarding houses cheap
and of the best kind, the couRtry around be-
ing highly cultivated and furnishing every
thing desirable for the table.
All are invited to call at the ticket office, 20
Camp street, under City Hotel, where guide
books descriptions, routes rates, etc, will be
furnished, and the fullest information given.

The Hon. Carter Harrison has no special
reverence for John Sherman, as is evidenced
by the following remarks concerning him at
workingmen's meeting in Washington few
days ago. This, said he, "is the man who
has been filling the Warehouses and poor
houses Of the country with the victims of his
diaboiical policy; man in whose veins the

says: Never in the South was the fear of a

Arrested for Murder.

Saturday, Marshal M. V. B.
Sheafor arrested q young man going
under the alias of John Miller, aged
twenty-five years, for q murder
committed in Owensville, Bath Co.,
Kentucky, in December last. He
was identified by a neighbor of the
murdered man, and taken in charge
by the Marshal, who telegraphed to
the parties in that State, and the
proper papers were sent on by the
rest. Mr.. Sheafor will leave with
his prisoner Monday. He had been
at work for J. Pieratt for the last six
months. and his real name was John
Upton. 1t appears the circumstan-
ces of the murder are as follows /:
Upton and the man killed, whose
name was CoTer, had a fight at the
blacksmith shop of Upton, in which
Upton got worsted. Upton, after
recovering saw Cofer on the streets
of Owensyille, and going to his
blacksmith shop got a pointing
hammar, walked back 10 where Co.
fer was standing and struck him on
the top of the head with it. The
hammer was buried in his skull and
the injured man fell dead, almost
without a struggle. Upton made
his escape from the State, and came
to Kansas, since which time he has
been going under the alias of John
Miller Upton. He is a good LOOK
ing young man, and does not look
to be hardened villain. He con-
fessed the full particulars of the
murder to the Mcrshal, and will be
convicted on his own evidence

The arrival of Mennonites in this
country has been noted for q year
or two past. The movement is ex-
planned by the fact that after 1880
the exemption from military ser.
vice which has heretofore been
granted them by the Russian gov
ernment will end, and they will be
liable 10 enrolment for military
service. They number about 200.
600 in Russia, and is is estimated
that the largest portion of them will
come to this country in the naxi
year or two. The sect Of Mennon-
ties was founded about the begin
ming of the sixteenth century, their
founder being named Nenno. Like
the quakers they are averse to oaths,
to war, and to capital punishment.
Their religious faith fs Baptist,
though they baptize by sprinkline
instead Of immersion, practice feet
washing, and forbid their members
to marry except to believers. There
are several sects Of them and they
make an honest industrious popu-
lAtIsn attending to their own afEairs,
and, a. rule, take no part in poll
tics and voting. They will be val

Not Entirelv Wild.

While 1t seems clear to US that the
Republican party in Kansas is just
as much in favor of greenbacks as
any reasonable greenback man could
ask, and that consequently there is
no need for any Republican voter
of greenback procliYities to leave
his old party and take up with q
new one, we must give the Lyon
county Greenbsck Convention cred
it for taking q more prudent and
sensible position on the greenback
question than the State or any other
greenback convention has done. 1t
added to the greenback doctrine of
making paper dollars absolute legal
tender, the proviso that their aggre-
gate amount should be limited and
regulated by the constitution. This
would prohibit congress from print
ing and distributing legal tender
paper dollars to an indefinite ex-
tent, and put some bar to their prob
able issue, for whatever regulation
the constitution furnished would be
difficult to remove. The Lyon coun-
ty greenbackers are therefore not 30
wild as those throughout the State
and other States. The theory that
legal tender irredeemable green
backs should be printed and issued
to any extent . greenback congress
might from year to year Judge "nec-
essary for the wants of trade" is
one that has never, until this year,
been seriously entertained by any
one. The greenbsck platform of
1876 contained at least the intercon-
vertible bond egalation-but this
year they throw aside all restraint,
and demand that congress print
enough now to cancel the national
bonds, to replace national bank cur
rency, to make various internal i'm
provements, and as many more as it
sees fit to Issue for any purpose, at
any future time. This is outdoing
the Pendletonian programme, beats
Wendell Phillips proposition to
lend everybody money on land, and
makes the Peter Cooper platform
of 1876 an old fogy concern. In the
midst of such q surging sea of legal
tender currency, the Lyon county
greenbackers have at least the bal
last to say-let there be q constitu-
tional limit to the Issue of those pa
per dollars, SO that we may have
some idea of where and when the
supply is to STOP, lest it become so
abundant as to be worthless for all
practical purposes. Too much mon
ey lie possible and an indefnite sup
ply will cause q speculative rise in
prices of ali articles that viii have
to stop at some point, or else it
would soon take q bashel Of curren-
cy to buy 8 bnshel Of wheat. We
really must give our greenbackers
credit for not haying lost their sans
es so completely Is their party in
general seems to have done.
