that they have nothing bnt ootton, and
that cannot be eaten. The experience of

An open letter baa been addressed to
the Commission by Messrs. Thus. J.
Sommea, John A. Campbell and Henry C.
Miller, whioh, it appears to us, should
settle any doubts that may linger in the
minds of tbafeatlaawn oomposing that
body. The precedent alluded to by Mr.
Evarta in his latter of anggeation ia
brushed away at the outaet. The Uhode
Island ease in 1842 ia totally different
from that of Lonietana. The Dorr Con
vention whioh extended the right of suf
frage wu not authorised by any law of
the existing Government. The dual
governments of Bhode Island arose from
dual constitutions, and the controversy
involved the question whether the Dorr
oonatitation and government had super
seded the ancient charter, end the govern
ment whose exiatsne* wu depeodent on
it. Bnt in the use of Louisiana there are
no rival fionstitutiona; both parties claim

Under the Oonatitation of that State

Governor and Lieutenant Governor arq
to be aealed up and transmitted by the
proper returning officer to the Secretary
of Blete, who to required to deliver them
thus seeled to the Speaker of the House
of Representatives, tor the purpose of
having thorn examined and oonnted by the
General Assembly. In the ease of the
election of members of the General As
sembly the returns must be made to the
Secretary of State.
The election law of 1872 wbioh provid
ed for the Returning Board, whioh hu
occasioned all the trouble in Louisian*
by arresting the direst transmission of the
returns of election, made np at the polls
by the Oommimionen who actually held
the eleotion and counted the votes depos
ited in the ballot box, and diverting the
return, from their constitutional ohannel
to n tribunal whioh waa oreatod by a oor-
ropt Legislature and Governor, to per
petuate their power by manipulating tha
returns, la n palpable violation of the
Oonatttntion and is essentially inconsis
tent with the right of the people to select
their representativea.
The letter demonstrates that the body,
composed of persons indieeted on the
fees of tha return* u Representatives and
Senators, Is the only tribunal created by
the Constitution to examine and oount
the vote* for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, end hones it ia impossible that
there should be two Governors, for the
deotaion of this eonatitntional tribunal in
favor of s partionler candidete ia conclu
sive.
The number of Bepresentatives and
Senators returned aa elected on the face
of the returns, unquestionably estab
lished tbs predominance of the support
ers of Ih* Nieholls Government in both
branches of the General Assembly of the
State, and it la peat doubt that Nieholls
and Wilts were on the face of the returns
duly eleoted Governor and Lientenent
Governor.
The Betnrning Board, having no con
stitutional authority to ranvass these re
turns, or to oheuge or otherwise manipu
late them, it is manifest that the legiti
mate legislative power and exeontive au
thority of the State are vested in the
Nioholla Government.
It follow,, as e logioal sequence, that

In Liverpool is entirely owing to the very

prised if it waa reaohed this year in April,
certainly it will be reached mnoh earlier

wa folly expect that after July onr stock
will run deoidediy lower then Inst year.
There Is little doubt but that tfiff con

larger then the (apply, end we may resell
Ootober with the lightest atooks held for
gome years.
In the faoe of thia it 1* difficult to avoid
the conolralon that s decided improve
ment will set in sooner or later. Whether
we are now ripe for that improvement
may be questioned. The arrahing losses
on our present stook oause great financial
weakness; business is not fairly started
iu Manchester, and spinners ere not com
pelled to bay from bsrennasa of stock;
consequently it ia an open question
whether the time for a bona fide turn has
yet arrived, but we do not think it will
be long deferred, and oiroumstanoea
might occur whioh wonld entirely obange
the faoe of the market.
The political situation is still a oause of
anxiety. Russian polioy is so vaoillatiag
that it is impossible to tell from dsy to
day whet steps she will take, bat at the
moment it looks rather like e rapture
with Turkey when the season suitable for
warlike operations arrives. We do not
think any worse consequences will follow
from war itself than now arise from the
fear of it. In fact w* iodine to think
that soon after wet is declared we shall
see a revival of trade. There is little
ebanoe that any of the Great Powers will
intervene, ends war' between Russia and
Turkey oan hardly be of long duration.
The barbarious mlsgovernment of Tdr-
key, and her oynioal defienoe of European
opinion, have left her entirely without
friends, and many will look upon a war
as the only possible remedy for evils that
have beoome perfectly intolerable.
A Pkeaemnea Explains*.
A planter owning one thousand acres
of fair average land in the healthy por
tion of the ootton States ia n poor man.
He oonld not not sell his land probably
for more then $6,000. He looks to the
North, and finds land ranging from $60
to $200 per aore. H> looks to Eaglanjl,
Holland or Belgium, and finds it averag
ing from $300 to $600 per sore. Why
this difference? Iff the land In theee
countries better than oars? Not by na
ture—if it be better it to by the difference
in treatment Is their climate better
then onto? The acknowledged superiorly
ia on onr side. Are the prjoes
of their prodnots any better
thon ours? On an avenge not so good.
Are the taxes lighter then oars? If we
are compelled to pay their tax, either at
the North or in England, oar lend woa(d
at onoe be sold for taxes. Have they val
uable orops whioh they can raise end
whioh we cannot nice? There is not e
farm prod not In either Old England or
New England whioh we eennot raise in
equal .perfection ct the South. Is their
labor cheaper than onra? Tha coat of
labor at the North nearly doubles the oast
of labor at tha South. In England labor
to oheaper than with ra. Bnt tha differ
ence to perhaps oompenmted by the poor
and church rates and other exoeasi vs taxes
paid by the English %gmers.
U their climate to as good as that of
the oountrie* referred to, If onr lands tons
good u theirs, if onr products bring pe
good prioes, if our taxes ore mnoh lighter,
if we oan grow all tha oropa that they
grow, if labor to cheaper with ra than .it
to at the North, and if difference in taxes
compensate for the cheapness of labor In
England, why is it that their lend is so
valuable and oars so valueless ?
We shell find the map of use to na In 1
answering this question. If we take the
map of the United Statea, end pat onr
finger upon the Statea or parts of 8tal)ee
in whioh lend sells at the highest prioe, we
shall find that In those 8tates or parts of
States the greatest attention to paid to the
oultivation of the grasses and forage
plants. If we open the map of Europe we
shall find the same rale holds good. The
oheapest lands of Earop* are those of
Spain, where little attention is paid to the
grasses. The value of land rises exactly
in proportion to th* attention wbioh is
given to them, in England and Holland
reaehing sometimes for farming purposes
to $1,000 per sere. Holland to almost a
continuous meadow. This land veins
culminates in Lombardy, where irrigated
meadow lends rent for $00 to $100 per
sere. Without exception, in Europe end
America, where n large portion of land is
in grass or forage erope, the prioe of land
is high, reaching tha Agates above men
tioned. On th* other hand, without, ex
ception, wherever in either oontinent the
f grosses do not receive this attention,
