LOGGING INTERESTS.

The Minneapolis Lum6erman has the
following to say of Mr.. Weyerhauser, of
this city. The article states as follows:
President Weyerhauser, of the Missis
sfppi logging company, reports from so,
600, 900 to 1000. 900 feet of logs in Little
Falls dam, mostly belonging to the Chip
pewa logging company. Slucing out of
the dam was commenced Saturday, and
the logs commenced arriving at Eau Claire
on Sunday. The men who are up on the
drives will be kept there until there is a
rise in the river and tributaries.
People are constantly changing their
homes from East to West and from North
to South or rice oersa, in seach of a healthy
State. IL they would learn to be content
ed, and to use the celebrated Kidney Wort
when sick they would be much better off.
The whole system can be kept in healthy
state by this simple but effectual remedy.

THROUGH TO SAN FRANcIsco.-A
Times Democrat reporter iu CONVEX
sation with an official Of the New
Orleans and Pacific Road, was in-
formed that it was very probable
that the first through train from this
city to San Francisco gould leave on
or about January 10Th.
"How many days will it take to
make the trip to San Francisco" in
quired the reporter.
"About six days, as the distance
is fully 2,400 miles,"
"Was it not the intention OF the
Southern Pacific TO put on through
train to San Francisco in the early
part of the present month";
"Yes, but the idea was abandoned
owing to the fact that certain por'
tions of the track ON the New Or
leans and Pacific road between Alex
andria and Shreveport had to be re
paired aud put in better condition
before regular passenger aud freigh
trains could run over it, Times

Thanks to Senator Luckett.

1t WAS mainly through the persis-
tent efforts of DR.. Luckett, our Sena-
tor, that DR.. Robertson was dis
placed from the Presidency of the
Senate. The next day the City Item
contained communication, stating
the real reason why Robertson was
displaced is that he is not member
of the Lottery ring. The writer of
that communication must be an in

joke to gravely assure the people OF
this State of the St. Landry Sena-
tors entire freedom from connection
with the Lottery ring. The next
thing We shall hear of will be that

The enterprise, push and progress Of
the New Orleans DEMOCRAT during
the past eighteen months have become
proverbial. No journal published in
the South has made such progress in

THAT $4,000 FEE.

we referred yesterday TO petttloh
that had been placed on orr desk, in
which it was attempted to justify the
payment of the enormous sum of $685.
600 for defending single case against
the State 10 the Supreme Court.
As was stated on former occasion
this case was but the winding up Of
long litigation, instituted BY Attorney
General Field nine years ago. During
this litigation eighteen caseswere car
ried to the Supreme Court of the State
and many millions Of dollars of in
debtedness declared illegal as i'll vio-
lation Of the law and the constitution.
In the first case carried up under the
old counsel, that Of the Citizens Bank
VS.. the Funding Board, 9Th Otto, l4O,
the syllabus reads:
"Where the record shows that q
Federal question was not necessarily
involved, the court has no jnrisdics
ton to reverse the decision Of the Su-.
preme Court of Louisiana. That the
act passed January "a, 1874, does not

373) for which this large fee is claimed
was tried twice in the Supreme Court
of this State, and won, and the bonds
declared invalid. The Washington
tribunal had therefore to follow it's
previous decision, and We doubt very
much whether there was any necessity
for the appearance of attorneys to re-
present the State at all. Itcould very
safely have been left to tho Court on a
brief of half a dozen pages. These at
torneys have already drawn $4,000
from the Treasury, we understand to
pay their expenses while in Washing
ton, and $500 or $1,000 each would
seem to be ample additional compen-
sation.
! The salary of the Attorney General
is only $4,000 per annum, and we res
pectfully suggest that it would be bet
ter to have, say, a dozen law officers
than to grant such exorbitant fees for
a single unimportant case. 1t may
be also pertinent to ask, in relation to
this contract with these special coun-
sci, why they have taken no steps to
protect the interests of the State in
the Gauthteaux defalcatiop, and Sc
cure as much as possible out of the
bondsmon of that official'-[ Picaynne.

The Condition of the People and What
IL Needed.

ST. Louis, March 29-The Government
steamer General Barnard, loaded with l5O,-
900 Government ratiOns meat and bacon,
ana about fifty tons of food ana clothing,
contributed by charitable citizens, left here,
last night for Memphis and Nicksburg, in
command of Captain Mullins, U. S. A.
General Beckwith has just received
report from Lieut.. b. II. Randolph, Of the
Third Cavalry, dated Delhi, La, in which
the latter sums up the situation as follows:
In the district from Red river to the Ar
kansas line, and about fifty miles west OF
the Mississippi, there has been no loss of
life except few children on Black river,
and there is no actual starvation or deStitu.
ton at present. The supply of rations, il
iudiciously husbanded, will supply all
present needs until April 10th, when, ii
stherefsuo improvement in the situation
before that date. there will exist general
deStitution among all the people, both
white and black.
Should the flood fall decidedly by April
10. at most there will be needed only about
one-half rations of bacon and meal to May
/, for 5000 people, who constitute a class OF
small farmers, white and black. II there
is no change for the better before the 10th
OF April, there will be about 5000 per
sons without food or credit.
Should the water fall decidedly by April
10th, the probability is that planting can
be done by May 1st, and with that prospect
large planters will prefer to feed their
own hands; whereas, if the water contin.
ues to rise. the whole system OF credit and
working will be upset. Commission mer-
chants will decline to advance TO the Coun-
try merchants and planters, and the latter
will not be able to feed the labOrers.

PITTSBURGH, March 29.-The called con.
vention OF coal miners assembled this morn.
ing in their hall, Carr's building, Penn
avenue. About GO delegates presented
their credentials. A party OF dclegares,
numbering ten, from the Fourth Pool,
telegraphed from California, Pa,
that owing TO the fact that
a train on the p, V. and C. road had jump
ed the track near that point they could not
be present at the organization. After the
presentation OF credentials the convention
proceeded to discuss the rules submitted by
the President III his recently issued cirCu.
lar On putting the matter TO vote the rules
were adopted. They are as follows:
FirSt-No pit in the district shall declare
a local strike without having heard the
opinion Of the President on the necessity,
merits or policy of such strike.
Second-No pit shall declare 0 local strike
without a two-thirds majority OF the miners
working therein.
Third-The voting on local strike shall
be by ballot.
Fourth-When any pit has conformed 10
the above three rules and declared q local
strike, the President shall have the power
to order levy for the support Of its min
ers; provided that the levy for each local
strike shall not I've more than 10 cents per
calendar month; and provided further,
that not more than two such leyies shall be
ordered in one and the same month.
The next business taken up was the dis
cussiOn of the following:
