*" LOUISIANA VISITORS APPROPRIATION
LEFT OUT.
The deficiency’ bill that was before
the House to-day’ does not contain
the item to defray the expenses of the
President’s Louisiana Commission.
There was such an item in the bill as
originally reported from the Com
mittee on Appropriations, but subse
quently that bill was withdrawn and
recommitted, and, us reported back,
it omitted all reference to the Louisi
ana Commission. It is surmised that
this change of mind on the part of
the Committee was caused by a de
sire to avoid a text for a political dis
cussion that might be both dilatory
and excited.
SPOFFOHD-KELLOao CASE,
Special to Enquirer-Sund
Washington, Nov. 21.—The fol
lowing is an abstract of briefs ill the
Spofford-Kellogg case before the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections:
Judge Sliellnbargcr's brief for Kellogg
denies the power of the Senate to
question the award of the Returning
Boards and admits that the returns as
made by the commissioners of elec
tion, show that three of the Packard
Senators and ten of the Representa
tives, who jollied in electing him, and
were essentinl to his quorum, were
beaten at the ballot-box, but claims
that they were beaten by intimidation
and were rightly counted in by the
Returning Board. That the Sherman
and Howe testimony is ample proof
in the case that the Packard Govern
ment was the true government chosen
by the people, and after his election
was overthrown by criminal revolu
tion; that Long, of Desoto, was a
Democrat who denied his own elec
tion to aid his party.
Judge Spofrord rejoins that the
power of the Senate is plenary to de
termine which was the real Legisla
ture, and to that end to inquire whom
the people elected; that the admis
sions show that enough of the Pack
ard Senate and House were defeated
to leave hotli without a quorum
every day they pretended to sit; the
seating of Baker and Kelso was an
illegal farce; that Kellogg’s joint as
sembly contained only seventy elect
ed members—nine less than a quo
rum; that the Returning Board was
without constitutional power to sup
press a single poll, as the commis
sioners’ returns were required to go
unchanged to the Secretary of State ;
that, the destruction of polls by
taking evidence of intimidation
was a judicial act, which the
Constitution inhibited to return
ing officers; that their count was
illegal and void, because they looked
only at the Supervisors’ consolidated
statements and did not compile the
Commissioners’ returns; that they
trampled on their own law by making
forbidden inquiries without the
foundation that law prescribed; that
Kellogg himself instituted illegul
complaints and the Board acted on
them collusively and fraudulently ;
that the Vernon parish returns were
altered by forgery in order to
defeat Smart and elect Brown
to the House; that no other uets of
violence than those between the 28th
of Aguust and the 7tli of November
were exuminnble, and the murders
charged were chiefly outside of those
dates, and non-political, exaggerated
and often rebutted; that the Morrison
and Field testimony must be consid
ered if the Sherman and Howe testi
mony was, and that Long was a Re
publican and supported only by Re
publicans. In closing lie says:
The historian will look in vain for
that imaginary line, which Mr. Kel-

logg’s counsel was hunting for, where
tlie Packard government ended, and
where the Nicholls government be
gan. These governments, such us
they were, hud simultaneous birth;
thexine which my competitor seeks
to represent was still-born and has
been laid away. The other, which I
have tlie honor to represent, was born
capable of living, still lives, and will
continue to live through its constitu
tional term to restore peace and bless
a people who have suffered so long the
misery of being ruled by the hand of
the stranger.
FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
SENATE.
Washington, November 21.—Sev
eral private bills were considered at
12:20.
Conkling submitted motion to
adjourn, but at the suggestion of
Mr.Humilton withdrew itandon mo-
tionof tlie last named the Semite went
into executive session.
Silver bill was reported after Exec

Thurman’s resolution to discharge
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections from further consideration
of the Senatorial contest from Soutli
Carolina was discussed to adjourn

MR. IIILL, OF GEORGIA, SPEAKS.
In tlie Senate discussing Thur
man's motion to discharge the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
from tlie further consideration of the
South Carolina Senatorial contest,
Mr. Hill, of Ga., a member or the
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions, said, as a member of tlie com
mittee, he would vote for the resolu
tion submitted by tlie Senator from
Ohio, Mr. Thurman, but lie deemed it

to be his duty in justice to himself,
the committee and tlie Senate testate
briefly tlie reasons influencing him
for this vote, and he would endeavor
to do so without arraigning any-one.
He did not think the resolution of the
Senator from Ohio could be consid
ered as discourteous to tlie Committee
on Privileges and Elections and
according to his views of
tlie facts in the case he
thought the resolution a proper one.
He then reviewed at some length the
case of Mr. Eustis, claiming a seat as
Senator from Louisiana. Those of
Messrs. Butler and Corbin, claiming
a seat as Senator from South Carolina,
and those of Messrs. Kellogg ami
Spoft’ord, claiming the seat from
Louisiana, and said during the dis
cussion of the Pincliback case in the
Senate, tlie Senator from Indiana,
now deceased, Mr. Morton, distinctly
stated that if Pincliback was not en
titled to tlie seat Eustis was, subse
quently the Senate decided that
Pincliback was not entitled to tlie
sent. He had hoped at tile beginning
of this session that no one would want
to reopen the Louisiana case,
but that Mr. Spoflford would be seat
ed. In this lie was mistaken. In his
opinion the committee should have
considered these credentials in the
order of their date, which would have
brought the Eustis case first, the
Butler-Corbin case second, and tlie
SpofTord-Kellogg case third ; but the
committee deeided to invite Messrs.
Kellogg and Spoflford to present their
eases first, and of course Messrs. But
ler, Corbin and Eustis could not pre
sent their cases until invited by the
committee to do so.
Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, said the
credentials of Mr. Kellogg were
first referred to the committee on
March 7th, 1877. Those of Messrs.
Butler and Corbin were afterwards
referred on the same day, but the
Eustis credentials were not referred
until the next day.
Mr. Hill, in resuming, said he did
not oppose the consideration of tlie
Kellogg-Spofford case when the floin-
mittee took it up because lie thought
it would not consume much time.
He thought it could be settled in an
hour, as it was historically known
that the people of Louisiana had set
tled their own controversy, and, in
his judgment, it was needless for the
Senate to waste time to inquire as to
what body was the legal Legislature
of Louisiana. He then referred to
the action of the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections, and said this
was the first instance he ever
knew of where the judges in
sisted upon Inquiry into tlie
merits of a dispute, after the disput
ants themselves hud settled the mat
ter. He was guilty of supposing and
hoping, aye, and believing that the
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions would immediately say, “we
will not open a settled dispute; will
not revive u conciliated controversy,
but we will take this settlement us tlie
people of the State have made it, and
tie satisfied with it.” He bud built
air castles often in his life, and he
confessed that this was an air castle.
On tlie 22d of October lie offered in
committee a resolution to accept tlie
settlement in Louisiana, but it was
rejected. The committee cut itself
loose from the harbor of peace which
tlie people of Louisiana laid made
for them, and launched out the boat
on a very troublesome sea.
A majority of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, six to three
members, he hoped, would never be
come classical, resolved not to ubide
by the settlement made by the peo
ple of Louisiana, but decided to open
all those questions, of which the
earth ought to be sick, about return
ing boards,frauds, violence and every
thing else. Mr. Hill, on the 25th of
•October moved, in tlie committee,
take up the case of Eustis, but w
unsuccessful. He believed the cast
of Mr. Eustis-should have been con
sidered without delay, because Louis
iana bad no Senator on this floor and
there were important nominations
effecting that State pending before
the Senate, besides there was no con
testant for the seat of Mr. Eustis.
Mr. McMillan, of Minnesota, a
member of the committee, asked if
that very question was not now be
fore the committee?
Mr. Hill replied, it was not. He
knew that the Senator-from Minne
sota, Mr. McMillan, hud tried to get
it there, but no one voted with him;
and there could be no contestant for
Mr. Eustis, unless, contrary to all
usage, the Senate should refer tlie
Pinchbeck case to tlie committee. He
knew there hud been a communica
tion from Pincliback before the com
mittee, but the chairman was
directed to notify him that lie
had no credentials there and Ills
claim could not be considered. He
(Mr. Hill) agreed with the Senator
from Delaware (Mr. Saulsbury) that
the Committee could have disposed of
both the Eustis and Butler cases and
still have the promises of it in tlie
Hpoflbrd-Kellogg case. He did not
agree with the chairman of tlie Com
mittee (Mr. Wudleigh) that one case
should be settled before another was
taken up. 5Vas it right that a gentle
man whose credentials were before
the Committee, whose seat was not
contested, should be compelled to lie
around the Senate chamber and this
city for months because a contested
case happened to have been taken up
first? Was an unlitigated case
to be postponed until a iita-
gated case could be disposed of?
Tlie Shite of Louisiana had a right to
be represented oil this floor and it
would be better to reject Mr. Eustis
than to keep him waiting. Louisiana
thought she had elected a Senator,
but the Senate said not. He conceded
to the Senators on tlie other side a de
sire to see what was right, but lie dif
fered with them in judgment. He
was perfectly willing that this Soutli
Carolina ease should be settled up.
Tlie facts contained in the brief of
Mr. Corbin, tlie contestant of Mr.
Butler, botli gentlemen ugree as to
tacts, but differed in tiieirconclusions
and legal projMisitions. The brief tiled
by Mr. Corbin w’as a frank and manly
statement of facts. There was not a
single legal proposition in theCorbin-
Butler case, which any Senator would
call a difficult one and it should be
disposed of without delay.
Mr. Wudleigh, of New Hampshire,
said the question of what had been
done or wlnit should be done in tlie
Eustis case had nothing to do with tlie
resolution now before the Senate. That
cuse hud been the pack-horse upon
which to load charges against the
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions. Mr. Eustis imd not asked to
have his case taken up by the com
mittee in March last, when his cre
dentials were referred to tlie commit
tee. Mr. Eustis requested that they
should not be considered then, and lie
left for Louisiana on important person
al business. Hud his case been consid
ered then during tlie absence the
Democratic Senators would have
raised tlie cry that gross injustice was
done him. He repeated that the
Kellogg-Spofford case would soon be
finished, because all the material facta
had all been agreed upon. He said
no member of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections litui ever
hinted or whispered that the
motion would be made to dis
charge the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections from further
consideration of tlie Butler case,
though it should have been said that
such a motion would be made in the
Eustis case.
Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, said both
Messrs. Eustis and Butler had re
quested him, outside of the commit
tee, to have their cases considered
promptly, und he replied he would do
all in his power to nave them acted
on without delay.
After a long colloquul debate, Mr.
Conkling, of New York, said:. The
experience of this day had been ex
traordinary. The Senate had listened
to altercations between Senators as
to what took place on committees, all
of which was unparliamentary. A
Senator moved to lay tlie resolution
of tlie Senator from Oliioon the table,
which was entirely within the usage
and propriety of the Senate. A Sen
ator moved a resolution, representing
no committee, but doing soot' his own
volition, could not draw unto him
self ull the attributes of u chairman
of u committeeentitled to close debate
on an important measure. The yeas
and nays had been ordered on the
motion’ to lay tlie resolution on
tlie table, and he submitted
that the Senator from Massa
chusetts, Mr. Hoar, laid no right to
withdraw that motion now. For one,
lie wanted to see the sense of the Sen
ate taken us promptly as possible
upon what lie regarded as the very
extraordinary motion to discharge
the Committee on Privileges and
Elections from further consideration
of these credentials. As tlie vote upon
Mr. Hoar's motion was about to be
taken, Mr. Bumum moved Hint the
Senate proceed to tlie consideration
of executive business.
Mr. Conkling and others: “Oh, no;
let us have a vote on the motion to
lay on the table.”
The motion for an executive ses
sion was agreed to—yeas 30, nays 20,
us follows:
Yeas—Messrs. Bailey, Barnaul,
Bayard, Beck, Coke, Conover, Davis

London, November 21.—Reuter's
Paris dispatch says the new Ministry
will not lie gazetted before Thursday.
It is expected Gen. Grimandet De
Rhochuubet will lie PresidentofCoun-
cll and Minister of War ; M. Battbie,
Minister of Instructions; M. Pouyer
Overtier, Finance; M. DePeyer, Jus

Commerce; M. DeMontgoltier, Works;
Admiral Giequel Des Neuehes, Ma

Tlie Times' Paris correspondent,
commenting on tlie latest list of the
probable ministers, says such a Min
istry must either resign after its first
encounter with the Chamber of Deii-
uties or tlie Chamber must be again
dissolved. In the latter case a virtual
coup d'etat is inevitable, as another
Chamber could not be elected in time
to rate the budget, and the Govern
ment would, therefore, have to collect
taxes without authorization.
FINANCIAL CONDITION.
London, Nov. 21.—The Times' li-
nancial column says in consequence
of the low rate of discount at Paris,
business may now be expected to lie
diverted there and rates be corres
pondingly weaker, though no reduc
tion of the Bank of England rate of
live per cent, is anticipated until its
reserve is materially strengthened.
Paris, Nov. 21.—The Ilrpubliquc
Franeaisc, in view of the .Senate's pre
tension and the President’s refusal to
change his policy, it becomes the clear
duty of the Chamber of Deputies to
refuse to vote tlie budget. The
Chamber must save the country. No
budget must be voted as long as tlie
majority has not the ministry in
whom it can place confidence.
FRENCH CONDITION.
London, Nov. 21.—-The Times has
a long article on the French situa
tion, which concludes as follows:
“The moderate Right of the (Senate

ure arrayed against one another like

The Theatrical People Who Began Life
In Printing Ofllees.
“Printers?” did you say, remarked
Mr. Stuart Robson, inquiringly of the
Sun reporter, a few nights ago, as he
wus on the way toil Boston train.
“Why, my dear boy, all our leading
actors have worked with the stick
and rule at the ease. It’s the most
natural thing in the world for prin
ters to become uetors und for writers
and players to ruli elbows together.”
“How do you reason out your theo
ry?"
“Setting type is composition. A
pointer couldn’t write uu uiignim-
liiatieal sentence if he tried. So with
writers. Writing Is but another word
for acting. Both are tlie literature of
thought, if you will allow tlie expres
sion. Its art: und iIs the most natu
ral tiling in the world, i should fancy,
for printers to drift from the case to
the stage or the editorial sanctum.”
“Who of the actors of the present
day are printers by trade?”
“Let me see,” said Mr. Robson,
musingly. “There’s J. H. Stod
dard,one of our best ’old men;’ lie
was a typo, and a good one, too. Then
there’s Montague, of Walluek’s; one
wouldn’t think to see him bowling
up Fifth avenue behind his spun of
hang-tail thoroughbreds that lie was
once a printer.”
“Is that so?" queried the re|s>rter
“I heard that ho was in some way
connected with a nobleman, and that
lie has had the exceptional advan
tages of good surroundings and a
universal education.”
“You’vebeen misinformed, my boy.

SELECTION OF RREEDS.
Each breeder must determine, for
himself, the leading object, which lie
will keep In view, and adhere to It, If
he would attain success.
This object will depend upon his
surroundings, and tlie purpose for
which his hogs are to be used.
If bis object is to raise thorough
breds, with a view of selling the off
spring for breeding purposes, he must
consider, carefully, the need of tlie
farmers to whom'he expects to sell,
and select such pure breed us will lie
best suited to the circumstances of his
expected customers, whether bred
pure, or crossed upon tlie common
stock of the country.
If his object, as ‘ will generally he
(lie ease, be to raise the most profita
ble hog for bacon to be consumed on
tlie farm, bis surrounding must have
an Important influence in determin
ing tbe character of stock to lie bred.
If lie lias large forest range, where
the hogs are expected to find their
own living, on natural products,
which cost lint little, In’ will succeed
best with mi industrious, slow-matur
ing breed, which will keep healthy
on but little food, and have theindus-
try to seek it in the forest. The im
proved breeds, which mature rapidly
anil require much of their food sup
plied them by their owners will not
succeed under the above circumstan
ces.
If be expects to keep bis hogs ill
his fields, on crops planted for them,
a cross of pure bred Berkshire, Essex,
Poland Chinn or Jersey Reds, oil
large native sows, will liest suit bis
purpose. A cross of the Jersey Red
oil the native would probably succeed
as a “range" hog, and produce more
pork than the common grade stock
now used in Georgia.
The best hog, for general purposes,
in Georgia, is obtained by crossing
the large native sows with Berkshire,
Essex, Poland Chinn, nr Jersey Red
hours, and killing September pigs ut
eighteen, and the spring litters at
nine, or ten, months old. Tlie pigs
farrowed in September will make
large meat when eighteen months old,
suited lo feeding negro laborers; tlie
spring pigs, pushed through the sum
mer mid full, mid fattened the next
winter, will make smaller meat, and
admirably suited for tlie table of the
farmer. Pure bred hears should be
Used to cross upon the native, orgrade
sows for pork. If the grade lioaraare
used, degeneracy will be the result,
but the grades are abetter “farmer’s
hog” than the pure breeds.
For table use, great size is not desi
rable, but for laborers, large sides are
preferable. These the grades will
supply at eighteen mouths old. it
will liot he profitable to keep hogs
through two winters, unless they sub
sist mainly upon the productions of
the forest, and, hence, wo should
breed varieties Hint are capable of
being fattened at uny age.
The long-legged, rangy hog will
consume more food, in a give'll time,
tlimi the improved grades, and yet is
difficult to fatten before lie is two
years old. Even if lu nsunied no
more in two years than the other in
half that time, to produce a given
weight of pork, the risk of thieves
and disaster is greater, from the fact
that he is kept on hand longer. The
cheapest mid best pork tlnit can lie
raised is from spring pigs, forced
through the Hummer and fall, and
butchered the following winter. Wo
need a black, slate-colored, or sandy
liogln our climate, toavold tlie mange.
Hogs degenerate, perhaps more
rapidly from “in-and-in” brredin//
than any other animal; lienee, the
hoars should nerer he allowed to seen:
their own offspring: Imt, either re
placed by a new purchase, or ex
changed for another fulllilood of the
same breed. To insure success tbe
farmer must definitely determine bis
policy, both as to tbe type of hog be
wishes to breed, and tbe bestowal of
necessary attention to supply abun
dant fond at all seasons of tfie year,
and adhere, j/irsistrnlly, to Jixe.il
principles in both these respects.
The Introduction of improved breeds
will avail but little without due at
tention lo the true principles of breed
ing, and tile foundation of which is,
that “like begets like.” If, therefore,
tlie parents are inferior, and without
fixed and definite type, tbe offspring
will also be inferior, and profitless.
SELECTION AND CARE (IF BOARS.
The prudent planter is careful to
select Ins planting seeds from well
developed, prolific plants, and, each
year, saves the best seed for future
planting, recognizing tbe law which
pervades the whole vegetable king
dom, that “like beget like.” Tills
law is equally applicable In tbe ani
mal kingdom, anil should lie ns care
fully observed, but ha- been sadly
neglected by tbe farmers of Genrgiu.
it is tbe generally received opinion
among stock breeders, that tbe boar
exerts u controlling influence upon the
offspring. This is especially true,
when n pure bred hour is used with a
grade, or common sow, mid lienee the
selection of tbe male animal is of
prime importance to the Georgia
farmer, ns lie must look mainly lo the
introduction of full blood hoars lo be
used on tlieeommon sows of Ihe coun
try for tlie improvement of bis stock.
He must remember that (lie defects,
as well as the good qualities of tlie
parent, ure propagated in Hie oil-
spring. Tbe boar should, therefore,
be hcalthlg, rigorous, and, as nearly
as )Missiblc. pt eft el in form, having
the most desirable purls well devel
oped, mid lie should lie of a breed so
well established a- to propagate, uni
formly, liis peculiar type. The only
breeds, from which selections may lie
safely made,as being well established,
und adapted in characteristics, includ-
ilor, for farm hogs, are tin
sufficiently industrious to take the
necessary exercise to gather his food
from tlie crops cultivated for him oil
our farm.
The result of tlie first crossof a pure
bred boar on large native sows, will
often produce offsprings superior in
size und even appearance to the full
blood, and farmers are tempted to se
lect males from these grades for breed
ing purposes. This will invariably
lead to disappointment, since the
grades, while they have inherited the
good qualities of tlie male parent,
have not the powers of transmitting
those to their offspring.
The young hoar should lie fed all
that lie will eat until lie is a year
old, but not allowed to get too fat.
He should have exercise, anil varied
diet, such us grass, roots mid meal,
but not allowed to run with sows, or
serve uny, before lie is at least ten
months old, when lie may lie admit
ted to a limited number, but should
not lie allowed to jump more than
ouee ill a day ; nor should lie be al
lowed to serve enough to materially
reduce his flesh. One service is usu
ally sufficient to impregnate u sow—
more than two should not he permit
ted,us it is mi u 11 necessary (j rail i upon
the hour, und does not increase either
tlie number or vigor of the pigs.
If tlie boar is allowed to serve ut
irregular periods during tlie year, one
will answer for u great number of
sows, but as the service should lie
confined to a short period ill lull und
spring, in order to have the litters to
come us near us possible at tlie same
time, there should be a boar for every
ten sows. During the period of serv
ing. tlie boar should bo kept in ail
enclosure to himself, and tbe sows re
turned to him in tlie morning,
and removed as soon as served.
After the first year tlie boar
will not require very rich food, but
should be kept in good thriving con
dition, and allowed plenty of exercise.
He will be kept in full vigor gener
ally until three or four years old, and,
if very superior, may serve even longer;
but should never be allowed to serve
his own progeny. It is usually better
to either exchange for uyoung boar, or
convert into pork after tlie third yeur.
A liumberof small furmersiua neigh
borhood could purchase u boar for joint
use, und thus muke tlie cost light on
individuals; or if one owns a superior
boar, let ins neighbors bring their
sows to him, and pay a reasonable
sum for each serve.
English breeders pay a sovereign
($4.84) for such service. A'funner who
has only the common stock, hud bet
ter pay Jive dollars for ihe use oj' a
thoroughbred than twerp! the service
of a grade or common, boar for noth
ing.
A mistake very yomnion among in
experienced breeders, is to confound
cross-bred with thoroughbred. The
off-spring of a Berkshire hour upon an
Essex sow is cross-bred, not thorough
bred. It is neither Berkshire nor Es
sex, and is not capable of transmitting
tlie good qualities of either. They
make good pork lings, Imt ure not a
proper source from which to draw
stock lings for breeding purposes.
Tlie general use of Berkshire hours
ill tlie State would probably increase
the average weight, of butchered hogs
thirty pounds. There are about ],-
(Kin,imu lings butchered annually in
Georgia. An Increase of thirty
pounds per head would give an aggre
gate increase of 39,900,000 pounds,
worth ut 124 cents per pound. $3,750,-
000.

Ill tlie second week of May, 1877,
there was found in the Olympia tem
ple of Zeus, not fur from the portrait
statue of a Roman lady, a colossal
luurble statue of a nude youth. Tlie
lower portion of the legs and the right
forearm ure wanting. With the left
elbow lie leaned upon tlie stem of a
tree, supporting on his arm a little
boy. Of the latter figure, unfortu
nately, onjy tlie lower part remains,
ami tlie tiny hand Hint lie hud laid
confidingly on the shoulder of his
bearer. Over the tree stem on which
the arm that supports the boy is
rested fulls tile drapery on rich, deep
ly cut and wonderfully worked folds,
affording to the arm a soft resting
place, und gracefully hiding the sup
port of the tree stem, which in this
position wus technically necessary.
The body of the youth rests with uu
easy negligence on the left leg, so
tlnit the soft flush of the right
hip shows, in manifold displace
ments, the play of the muscles of the
blooming, youthful form. The head
is marked by the finest, most spirit
ualized youthful beauty, and some
what resembles the head we see on
the Vatican Meleager or the Hermes
of tile Belvidero. The body, too, re
sembles those figures, only it is slen
derer, softer, more vivacious. At tlie
first glance we are struck by the care
less execution of tlie liair, which, in
the parts thut were usually unseen by
the spectators, is only slightly indi
cated. The back of tlie statue is also
less thoroughly wrought. Now Puu-
siinlus reports that among the gifts
of recent date was a marble Hermes
carrying tlie I my Dionysus, and that
it was a work of Praxiteles. The sa
vants who have charge of the excava
tions have, therefore, and there is no
doubt correctly, inferred that our
statue is really the Hermes of Prax
iteles, and that we now, for the first
time, behold ail original work of that
great artist—u work that is equal to
the greatest treasures we possess of
ancient art, and which must ever re
main u corner-stone of our knowledge
of the history of Greek sculpture.
