From the New Orleans Democrat, aiat.J The UNt tirab of the Thieve*. The atrocious scheme put in opera tion during the lust tew days to ar rest upwards of ten thousand citi zens .ot New Orleans by the State and Federal officials, cun only be proper ly estimated when it is known that the arrests in this city are made on the simple charge that the accused are not residing in the same houses they occupied when they registered in 1874. The registration lists of 1874 onlv are used as a ground for these charges. A man who resided at any given number of a certain street iii 1874, and has, since he registered, moved to the adjoining building or to any other, is assumed by the Kel logg-Paekard-Pitkin party to bo guilty ot a crime; a policeman is forced to swear to an affidavit that such an individual is fraudulently registered, and a warrant is issued for his arrest, and he is seized by a United States Deputy Marshal and forced to appear before the Commis sioner and answer for the terrible crime of having changed his place of abode since 1874. In nine-tenths of the cases the accused parties have had their change of abode noted in the registration lists of the present year, and if the rascals who are en gineering this wholesale scheme of arrests had compared the lists of 1874 with those of 1876, this fact would have been seen. The question now arises, what does this outrageous business mean ? In nearly all the cases the parties ar rested are discharged unconditional ly, there being do case against them, while the few who have failed to have their change of residence noted are discharged on bond. No Demo crat or Conservative has been intimi dated, thousands are aroused and ex cited at the outrage and will work harder than ever, and a strong, bitter feeling has been awakened against the ringleaders and their party can didates. As apolitical movement, tho whole business seems silly. But the truth is, it is not a political movement; there is a political signiflcance in the arrests in the country parishes, but the movement against ten thousand citizens of New Orleans is simply a huge speculation. The costs, fees, etc., in each arrest amount to from $3 to $5, and the treasury will be by this business robbed by Pitkin and the other Federal officers engaged in it of $50,000 or $60,000. This scheme of arrest is, in short, the last desperate raid of the band of unmitigated thieves who infest the public places in this State. They realize the fact that the power of their party is broken; they know that the scepter is passing out of the hands of Grant and Morton and that it will never bo grasped by Hayes. They realize also that the backbone ot Radicalism in Louisiana is broken and that their reign of robbery and lawlessness is approaching its ter mination. Realizing these facts, they have originated the scheme of arresting our citizens by wholesale upon the most frivolous charges, for the purpose of collecting the costs and fees from the government, and dividing the swag among themselves. We believe this is all there is in this business. But if it has no direct po litical purpose, it, nevertheless, shows how, under Republican and Radical rule, the government has been degraded. It shows that the law is no longer the protector of the citizen, and that it has become the instrument of thieves add ruffians to plunder the State and outrage the people. Is not this a startling de velopment? An African Kina'. Itcceptiou. Col. C. C. Long, of tho Egyptian Army, now visiting with his family, friends in St. Louis,.gives the follow ing account of his reception at the Court of King M’tesa, to which he had penetrated with two attendants only: My reception by this strange and mysterious King was unique. Cov ering the hill-tops that characterize the mountainous districts of the lake regions were thousands of the peo ple of Uganda to wel come “the Great White Prince,” as they called me. King M’tesa, sur rounded by his courtiers and harem, os I arrived, sent a messenger to ask me to appear before him and show him the strange animal upon which I was mounted. I was riding the lirst horse that had been seen in Uganda. At a quickened pace, ad vancing toward the King and cour tiers, they fled precipitately before me, while I, turning my horse, re gained the hill from which I had de scended, and, throwing ray foot from tho stirrup, in the act of dis mounting, I was surprised to see the people scatter in every di rection in dismay. I learned from the interpreter that they had supposed, up to that moment, that I and the horse were one animal—that I was a kind of a centaur. I was presented the next day to the King—a tall, graceful man, dressed in a flowing Arabic robe, bound at the waist by a girdle to which a scimetar was sus pended, and with sandalled feet, who eyed my horse with affrightedglance, and retreated towards his throne. Prostrate bodies covered the entrance and floor of tho hut. It was here that the King held audience with his different Sheiks and chiefs, and the heads of the different branches of his government. The ceremony ended in a slight inclination of the King to his messengers, who, unrolling from their heads neatly bound cords, threw them around the necks of the assembled throng at the door, and dragged them, halloaing and strug gling away to an executioner, who, as the fancy struck him, had them poniarded or choked to death, or had their brains dashed out. This is a sacrifice which is made to all African Kings. A Forgetful .Van. Cincinnati Enquirer His wife sent him up town for ’‘sumthin, crruther” early in the eyening. On the way he met a friend, and they spent a half hour in an animated dispute as to whether Hayes or Tilden had the best chances for an election, and when he left his friend at the corner of Fourth and Vine streets he had entirely forgotten what Maria had sent him after. It was in vain that he tried to think up his forgotten er rand. For three long, weary hours he wandered around from saloon to saloon, trying to stimulate his un reliable brain and prick up his mem ory. ’Twas no use. The more he stimulated the more he and dn’t re member. He hated to go h me and acknowledge as much to his wife, and so just dropped in on his friends to gather a little sympathy. After he had managed to scrape consider able of the article together, and just as the clock on St. Xavier Church was chiming the midnight hour, the tele graph editor opened a despatch and remarked the Associated Press an nounced the death of Dr. , the famous phvsician of . “By the jumping of Juniper Jupi ter, I remember now,” said the visi tor, rising slowly from his seat and turning as pale as a cholera patient; “I remember now. My wire had the cramp colic and sent me to bring the doctor! D—n politics! I wonder if she’s alive yet?'’ And he shot out of the door after that doctor without staying to hear what the outlook was in New York. LAWYERS^ "W. L. LATHAM.

The following ia an extract from a description, published in tho New York Tribune, by the wel knownagriculturiat, Solon Robinson: . v '' ■ All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and aome of them, who have turned their attention to fruUs and market gardening.have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and aurfaco gently undulating, intersected with small streams aud occasional wet meadows, m which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland anrface, after it has been exhausted of its natural lertilitv. - 1 It ia certainly one of tho most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, aud suitable condition for pleasant (arming, that we know of this side of the Western prairiea. We found somo of the oldest farms apparently just as pruiitsbly productive as when Hrßt cleared of forest fifty or a hundred yeara ago. Tho goologlat would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country ia a marine deposit, and all through tho soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally iu the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct (onus of ancient shells, of tbs tertia ry formation; and this marly substauce is scattered alt through the soil, lu a very comminuted form, and in the exact couditiou inoat eatily assimilated by such plants as the farmer and sires to cultivate.
