are considering a bill to abolish the
agricultural department. Whether they
will finally report such bill is not yet
decided; but the proposition is favored
by several members of the committee,
and ELECTS considerable commentator
among members of Congress at first
mention. If the department is abolished,
an agricultural bureau may be retained,
with power to accomplish all the good
work of the department, without incur
ring much expense. Still the matter is
not one to be decided without careful
investigation, and Congress will be pretty
sure to act in a friendly spirit toward
the agricultural interests of the coun-

land grants, introduced in the Senate
last week by Morgan of Alabama, would.
if adopted, restore to the public domain
about one hundred and twenty million
acres, granted to various corporations
which have failed to comply in time
with the conditions of the grants. 1t
would revoke grants of about eighteen
million acres to the Texas Pacific, some

MEMBERS of Congress have made so
much complaint about being paid 10 per
cent. in silver that Secretary Sherman
directed that the amount be paid in sill
yer certificates. On the Senate side of
the Capitol the 10 per cent. silver pay
ments make less commOtiOn. Twenty
five or thirty labOrers are employed, and
they take nearly all their pay in silver,
thus absorbing the per cent. which is
drawn from the Treasury.

MOsT to the point of all that was said
in the debate in the House, on the bill
for the removal of the Utes from their
reservation, was the pithy observation of
Mr.. Conger. of Michigan, to the effect
that what was wanted for the security
of the settlers was not more treaty-mak-

lection. With more soldiers and less
talk, the Ute troubles might be very

amount on the docks is 245OOOOOO feet,
of which 01,OO0,OOO feet is sold. The

consisted i'm the abstraction of that
amount from the assets of the company

matter was fully ventilated during the

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

From the address Of the Ogden En-
ccutive Campaign Committee, SO
styled, down to the country news
monger, the campaign against Mr..
Wilt has been carried forward with
Islander and inucndo. In their eager
ness to secure Mr.. Ogdcn's nomina-
ton, the friends of that gentleman
have forgotten that the name of Louis
A. Wilt is one dear to the heart of
thousands of L0uisianinns, and TINT n
feeling of just Indignation is being
aroused in the breast of every man
who wants to see fair play, that will
carry the vindication of his wantonly
assaulted character by his overwhelm-
ing nomination by the Convention.
In order that our readers may hear
boil, sides Of the question, and also to
resent the aspersions thrown upon
our chosen standard bearer and his
supporters, we deem it u duty to let
the Capilolian speak its loudcst to
show how unjustly, how shamcfully,
an honorable competition and true
Democrat, has been attacked by those
who were glad to support him for
Lieutenant Governor in 1876.

WHY CERTAIN PAPERS SUPPORT
GEN. OGDEN.

Egcrybody knows that the New Or
!euus Times conducted az it is under
;hc auspices Of Mcssrs. Charles Gin
ton, Henry G.. Dibble and others, is
nothing else than II Republican paper
in disguise. Another organ the Amite
City Independent, is ofa very shaky
temperament rs fur as Democracy is
concerned.
IN view of these premises itrcquires
but little political sagacity to discover
the motive that actuates these jour
nal5 in supporting Gen. Ogdcn's can
: didacy.
The Presidential campaign is about
to open, and the key note Of the Re-
pubiicnns is as usual, "blOod and thun-
der." Therefore, il tho renowned
chicitain of the Louisiana White Lea
&aers could be placed ut the head OF
Tie Democratic ticket, a twO-fOld OBJ
jcct could be attained. Under tho cry
that the darkics ara going to smell
Il /, the Republicans of this State
could be rallied to an extent warrant
ing the putting out of a ticket headed
rs some such man us Taylor Bcattic.
Of course, by warming the boys up u
little throughout the country, during
ne canvass, the hope is entertained
hat some excuses might be INDUCED
in by the hotspurs of the Democracy.
Then northern Radical shrickers
would be enabled to raise on high that
precious "bloody shirt which is the
"oritlamme" that alone can give their
cgumbling party another victory next
year.
These worthless know that the can
di1acy of Gov. Wilt will bring no
tcrrors to the hearts of our colored
people, the leaders of whom have had
occasion to note his impartial bearing
and liberal views in the late Convcn-
zion and elsewhere. Mr.. Wilt would
undoubtedly have walk over in II
campaign that would not offer the
slightest capital for Radical politicians
to work will, next year.
1t must seem as strange to others
as it does to us, to see that these pa
pers are takingtso deep an interest in
the nomination of their bitterest foe,
and organizer Of the White League
movement of 1874. What could have
excited their admiration for him SO
uddcnly, if it were not to carry outa
certain programme.
