LOUIsIANA'S MILITIA.-Ihere lshC
as much enthusiasm III military ma5ters
in New Orleans as there was lew years,
ago Members of military cTganlza-
tions there find that there is heavy
drain on their pockets and great inter-
ference with occupations without COM
pensating advantages. Only pride IN
their companies have kept many OF the
most influential members from resign
ing. The breakup in the militia OF the
State, however, has begun, and It IS nor
easy to see where it will end. On last
Friday night the Louisiana Field AT
tiilery, in some respects the hnesG FeSl-
ment in the service OF the State, was
mustered out and has ceased to eGlst'
The cause of this action OF the reSl-
ment was the inability of the members
Of the command to discharge the duties
of their various callings and occupa-
tiOns and at the same timA to comply
with the requirements of the State.
Last summer there was poiltlcal
disturbance in the parish of IBERIA. A
lot of officials refused to turn over the
Offices they held to those newly elected,
and the Louisiana Field Artillery was
ordered to go to the parish and install
those declared to have been elected.
The regiment was gene more than
week, OF course there was great
complaint among employers, and the
business interest of some of the mem,
bers suffered. That experience settled
the fate Of the regiment.
Another famous cOa9Cnand, the wash
ington Artillery, has appealed the
Governor to be relieved from all pollt--
ical duty. tits said that it the appeal
is refused that veteran corps Will ASK TO
ne mustered out. Many of the mem
.bers are leading business men, and they
cannot risk being called away from
their business at a moments notice to
be gone, perhaps, week or more. In
Louisiana the State does very little for
the militia, and the militia, therefore,
is not disposed to make great sacrifices
for the State.-Savannah News.

Kellogg is having a Gay time.

Ina recent letter to friend, Henry
Ward Beecher, the eminent divine has
this to say Of the Republican candidate
for the Presidency:
'Unsound in statesmanlike Judgment
uuscrupulous in political methods, dim
eyed id perceiving the distinction be-
tween truth aud untrutll, Accordingly
ambitious but bhortsighted as to the
methods Oh gratifying his ambition, but

brilliant rhetorical capacity, Mr.. Blaine

The first shock of the great political
battle took place on Tuesday last in
Chic and,West Virginia, and though no
decisive results were obtained by either
side, yet, when we consider the respec-
tive. claims made by the leaders in adj
vance, we think the Democrats have
the. advantage. The Republicans were
not only confident, of holding Ohio, but
they loudly claimed that they would
capture West Virginia, while on the
other hand the Democrats made no
claim to Ohio-a State that has gone
Republican in every Presidential year
since 1S56-but simply announced that
they would hold West Virginia by an
increased majority and hoped to reduce
the Republican majority in Ohio, the
election of 1880 being taken as the test.
They have accomplished both results,
and are therefore in no wise defeated
or disappointed in any respect thus far,
while the Republicans have been sig
nally foiled in their attemp to break the
solid South. The most that can besaid
of their "yictory" in Ohio is, that the
Dutch have captured Holland.
