Si.'iied.l 1. H. SiiFKiDAN-, I.ieut. Ueneral U. S. A. No such blood-thirsty and brutal requ2t as the above was ever Ix-fore made b a militarv tiPlcer in this Chris tian and civilized land. It is simply at roe of Su war or th itary careers. It will be observed that there are two suggestions in this mem orable dispatch. One is that if Con-j press woul 1 pass a bill declaring the ringleaders of the Whits League in ' three States (Louisiana, Mississippi; and Arkansas) -b mdilti," he (Sheri- , dan) would try them by military com missi mi. In this he writes himself down an ass, knowing as he ought and does, that tlie Supreme Court, of the j United States, in the celebrated Milli- ; gan cae from Indiana, decided that a j trial by military commission in time j of peace is unconstitutional and void. 1 'caring that Congress might not grat- ifv his barbsrous request, however, he thinks that if Ins dear friend, ti e President, woul I only issue a proclain- ation devd-iring them ' bandim," that no further f ction need te taken, "ex- ' eept that which devolves on me," (Sh:tidtn hiniiclf). His action of course would be a trial by iniditarv commission, which is always organ- ( ized to convict, and a fpeedy extcu- j tion of iU sentence. The preposterous idea that Congres.3 by a resolutiou, or (t ant by a proclamation, could tle clare certain persons in a State "ban J.L't" shows wliat Sherid m's notions are about the supremacy of the civil over militir' law. When he com manded at New Orleans, in 107. he attempted to place the military above the ciil authorities and was instantly rennved by An irew Johnson and , J , . T, .

The long list of tribulations and in suits which Louisiana has been made to sniftr by the mailed hand of the r.iili'.arv despot who sits enthroned in the White House, culminated on Mon i day, the 4th instant, by tiie perpetra- tion in the State House at New Or- leans of an outrage unequalled in the ! past history of this i , , . . is country, ana n ine! ! has but few parallels in modern times. On that day the State Legislature met and organized by the election of ex Mayor Wiltz, of New Orleans, as Speaker of the House, a chief clerk and other subordinate officers. Titer were all Democrats. This result was not included in the programme mark- ed out by the villainous Iletiiining UoarJ. nor was it ths cutertaiiimcnt J louse, was immediately sent for by Kellogg md received a written order from him directing thr.t officer to en ter the hal! of the House with a mili tary force and remove every member from Lis peat who had nnf. lu-cn in. (Jen. He irobnnnd executed this or der with a squad of soldiers, and eject ed .ti.v conservative members who were pointed out to him by one Camp bell, a henchman of Kcllogg's A gainst this military invasion of the hall of the Legislature. Sneaker Wiltz and t lie ejected members entered their sol- etnn protest and then withdrew in a bjdy to another building. As soon as this was done, the Iladical elected Michael Hahn Speaker and all the other olUcers. It is f.irtnntr thi blood was shed. Resistance to a force of eighteen hundred troops quartered n the city would have been madness, anj quiet submission to Buoerior force wan the onlv alternative. j It is a sad spectacle to content plate such a wanton and shameless exercise : of the military power of the govern , ment in a sovereign State in a time of j profound peace. It is a fundamental principle that a Slate Legislature has the undoubted and exclusive right of , judging of the election and qualiiica . tions of its own members. It is ne ; cesrfary that it should be so in order , to protect the vr-ry existence and lib erties of a State. It is home ruin in 119 uroa-iest simnfication rm.i it uro. serration is as"denr t; the people of Louisiana as to those of any other State. If Grant, can Iawfidlv Kiarch troops into the House of Hepresenta- tivea of Louisiana and dictate at the 1)0int of the bayonet who a r, and who Q;v, no( t3 members, he can do pre- cisely the same thing in Pennsylvania, and having exielled fire democrats. - he and u,s creature Kellogg did in Louisiana, could elect Dili Mann, Bill Kemble, or DibMackey United States benator. hen he can exercise such a power with impunity, he becomes tho meanest and most despicable of tyrants and the liberties of tlie people are Inst beyond the hope of recovery. We will then have a government of the sword instead of a government of law. 'I his Louisiana infamy reveals Grant bm in all its usurpations and lawless ness and is a fit sequel to his treat ment of the. Southern State? during bis entire Presidential career. He haa no mora just conception of tlie rights of a State or the perogatives of guaranteed rights of a Legislature he has no more respect than as a general he would have for a mutiny in a regi ment, to be quelled by the arrest and swift conviction by a drum-head court martial of those who incited it. If 2tiy additional reason were required why he should le driven from power amidst the execrations of the people, he has furnished it by his high-hsnd-ed and lav;ler;s conduct in the affairs of Louisiana. It is tiie last straw that will break the camel's back.

It wili be ob served that in the past year the revenues liavc sensibly diminished, and the receipts were only ?o,871 90.27. This diminution of $1,20-1, 754. i3 was occasioned by the re peal, iu lt!7, of the taxes ou grots receipts of railroads, net earnings of industrial and other corporations, and the tax ou cattle, aud farming implements. It is worthy of remark that the relitf afforded by the re peal of these taxes was mainly in the in tciest of corporations employing th.e great est number of woi kingmen. v ii b this re duction of tli a leveuue, and with an in creased expenditure of perhaps $500,0'.H, made necessary by the new Constitution in tiie additional outlay for schools, Legis lature and judiciary, it is manifest that t he t-evvifbt ecoiiomy must be observed iu all the departments of the government, and the appiopi iiitions considerately and wise ly made, or the State will be unable to meet its obligations under the existing tax laws. 15y tho Constitution, tlie proceeds of the sale of public works, and by tb j act of last session, approved May 0, ls74, the tax. ou the capital stock of ail corporations were assigned to the rb 11 king Fund, wbieh can only be applied to the payment of loans re deemed and interest ou the public debt. The receipts from other sources belong to the general revenue fund, and as ail the expciiuii uies of the government are paya ble therefrom, it will bo clearly tho duty of the Legislature to limit the appropria tion to the amount of this fund. UCMPlLIOaT EDUCATION. If a parent nogie.cts the education of a child or Ke'.tislmess demands it. em-nincs when the State ailords the facilities for 11s instruction, cau it be argued that it is des potic or destructive of tho principles of fiee institutions to compel tho attendance of that child .at school, and is it not a duty which tho fc'tate owes, not to the child alone, but tw her own safety, to rescue it fiotu that on'litioa of life t his indill'erence or greed may impose upon it, and prepare it, not only to be self sustaining, but a g'XKl citizen as well? Aii ignor.tut men are not paupers or criminals, out from this class are reeruited the greatest iortiou of tho..e who till our almshouses and jails. When, in certain sections of the United Slates, you find only seven percent, of t'.ie people, above the age of tan years, who cannot read and write, and discover eighty per cent, of all tho crime chaigeabie to ibeso' sections is committed by this igno rant seven per cent., it will not do to deny that ignorance ban most intimate relation to crime. The statist ics of pauperism like wise hhow that the illiterate and ignorant crowd our p'KU houses, and a very small propoiliun of the inmates of these institu tions have had any of the advantages of education. Will it be said the tit ate has 110 interest iu the suppression of an evil that is the prolific source of bo muoh mis ery and vica? Crime and pauperism are burdens which the State has to bear, and to make use of every preventive of these evils is the dictate of good policy and hu manity. INSURANCE. The necessity of an liisiirne.en DinnK ment, and its utility, have been cieariv shuwn, since its creation, by the discovery of a number of unsafe and insolvent com panics that were doing business in this htate, one of which resorted not only to fraud but to the crime of forgery to deceive the public. The published assets of these companies, in smic instances, amounting .1 i .... . . . to uuuureus 01 iuo,;sand3 of dollars, upou exainiualiou melted away to worthless se curities, the very possession of which was a convincing proof of an intention to prac tice fraud. The protection of sound com. panics, the retention at home of the capi tal invested in insurance, the interests of the insured, aud the honor of the State, alike demand the exposure of these fraud ulent compauies and the enactment of a goucral law so stiingent in its regulations that it wiil be impossible for adventurers. ; under the cloak of an insurance company, ! to rob the public. Every facility for the j detection of imposture should be afforded ; those charged with the examination of t - ... . involved in thia busmcs of insurance are ...u.-.v, j7n.,;o. tn immense interests I entitieu to tne utmost protection the State i can extend to them, aud its inquiries should , be so thorough that no form of deception ! can elude us scrutiny. j nilllU .ilrl llfA u - , , ; , J . i tienstve law. also, for the incnrnor.i..n ,.f ' '. , , : i ( i..-1 ,...v, .v ..in mo icmiuiiiwiiu, aLxiMinm lnsni-auco companies should be passed and ' of similar placards posted in conspicuous made to embrace all classes of insuiance, 1 rdaccs to int imidate nero voters were el n.l? cml''y should be allowed to or- i egrapbed North ; butit appeared on in ganizc, or exist, that did not give the am- vest igat ion that they were put out by the plest guarantees oi solvency and good faith, j Kellogg men themselves in order to give n JHtf KEW NST,Tt-Tios. color to the cry of terrorism, as spurious One ot the encouraging signs of the outrages in Alabama were fabricated for times is tlie growing disposition on the the same purpose.

Special legislation bequeathed to the State a legacy of wrongs that have been fruitful : t of injustice, and some of whose injurious , e fleets upon the jieace and prosperity of ', the Commonwealth will be perpetuated to ' ' posterity, and if the New Constitution had ! ; 110 other merit than to confine this kind of , legislation to its proper limits, it would sc- cure the allegiance and d'lty of our cili- ! zetis. The ready acquiescence cf our people j in accepting the provisions of the New , Constitution, aud the absence of all contest j on tlie part of corporations, many of whom ' were jealous of its restrictions, ate a grati- fying illustration of loyality to the best in terests of the State. The nllic sentiment ' that demanded and obtained these reforms ' must now take care that new or worse dis- I order do not creep into our political system, j livery weil organized government very properly provides against betrayal of trusts or abuse of Hnver bj- its llopreF.entatives. j The public has a right to expect honesty, i diligence and a conscientious discharge of ' d.ity from thoe whom it distinguishes by j flection or appointment, but 0:1 the contra- j iy are not its servants when they fulfill ; these essentials, entitled to confidence and 1 protection from detraction and abuse. 31n ' of character shrink from contact w ith pub- j l:c employment, beoau.se it involves suspi cion, mistrust and slander. To purify of fice we must, dignify not degrade it. Ke spect for law will not be increased by hold iuir up those who administer it to public contempt. The propriety and j ustice of official acts should be exnniined with more candor, and honest people ought not to take their opinions on trust, but fairly and dispassionately investigate for themselves. Good citizenship requires that we should scrutinize clos-dy the antecedents, charac ter and fitness of candidates for office, and if they possess the necessary qualifications, and are elected, it nhke exacts of us that we should give them a constant and tiust ful support while in the public service. BASK, SAVINGS FUNDS AND TKl'BT COMPA NIES. We have in the State one hundred and ninety-nine National banks, whose capital i about $52,000,000 ; and one hundred and seventeen State batiks and savings institu tions, whose capital actually paid in, as per Auditor General's report of 1874, was $8,370, lGS.b5, in ail three hundred and six teen banks and savings institutions, with aa aggregate capital of $00, (KM, 000. GttOtOCICAL faLUVKY. The suggestions in my message of last year in reterenco to a geological survey of tho Slate, were embodied in a bill tliat passed the legislature of 174. This act authorized the appointment by the Gover nor of a board of ten scientific and praclis cal gentlemen, to serve gratuitously, to i whom was to be entrusted the selection of j a geologist, and under whose direction the suivey was to be made. The great benefits of the survey will be j at once recognized iu this enumeration and jmtcular;y by those who desire to davelop, sell or leaio their lands. A mu seum of minerals will bo collected at Har risburg, and when assorted and arranged will be an invaluable contjibutiou to the exhibition at the Centennial. POLL TAX. The payment of a State and o-mtity tax is one of the qualifications of voters under our Con.slitutiou. Formerly the State im posed a tax upon trades, occupations aud professions which was repealed, and the light to lory a similar t.ii. for county and municipal purposes exists. Its imposition in soni.- counties and municipalities is nom inal, iu o'.Iicks it is levied at the full cash valae of tho occupation, and is a serious burden upon mechanics and wo: kir.gir.en, whose only property is the receipts of their labor, aud tt.iuU to prevent their exercis ing their riphts i f suifrage. It is not in harmony with our institutions that citi zens should bo dot. rived of exercising their franchise bj excessive taxation, or that the tax imposed therefor be unequal. This qualification lax of voters should bo uni form, and I therefore suggest the repcaljof ail laws authorizing the levying of taxes upon trades, occupations and professions, acd that a county poll tax be substituted therefor at a rate so reasonable as to bo within the ability of all to pay. IIIOT AT AUMSTItONO MINTS. T,1 unfortunate aud prolonged conflict in Vv'fcstmoielana Lity, between the Italian and revidout miners, wherein rvn. of tho Italians lost their lives and a nutn- ber were wounded, is a sad illustration of 1 the fatal consequences of a want of deci- j sion and energy, when a spit it of lawless- 1 ncss or disposition to riot discover them- j selves. The contest between these miners I was protracted over a period of weeks, with almost daily use of 8:e arms. Daring I all this time, life and property weregieatly endangered, tho pubhc peace was Woken, women aud childien were driven from I their homes, and 2et inquiry fails to reve?.l tlie fact, Ilia' a simr' warrant was issued ! for the arrest of any of tho patties impli cated. 1 here is nothing to show any ef licieut interference on the pait of the local authorities to chck these unlawful pro ceedings, and theie is no evidence that any regular or official iuvottigation in relation to these troubles was had, until" loss of life made it necessary. I fef l confident that prompt action 011 the part of the authori ties iu the vicinity would have speedily ter minated, if not entirely prevented, tbe'dis t in bunco. NAVIGATION OF THE OHTO RIVER. In .May, a commission wa3 ap pointed by the Governor of Pennsylvania, to act iu conjunction with commissions from the States of Wept Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana and Illinois, to determine what measures should be taken to secure the improvement ef tho navigation of the Obio river. Several con ferences were held and the event of their deliberations was the adaption of a plan to be submit Sed to Congres at tho preent session. This p'an, the result of continued inquiry aud experiments, was prepared by engineers of the United States army, is ap proved by the commissions for the improve ment of the Ohio, and is in its main features in practical opetalion in France, where it serves the ends proposed. The commis sioners of Pennsylvania have made a re port to the Executive embodying a brief review of their labors and the suggestions they have to offer in regard to this enter prise. They recommend that the Legisla ture of Pennsylvania pass a joint resolu tion asking Congress to appropriate suf ficient money to commence this improve- meit, and I heartily concur iu this rceoms tneudatiou.

We hope there is no American man who can read the news fiom New Orleans with out, a thrill of shame and rage. There is no doubt in the mind of any man in Lou- isiana that the five men for whose ejection De rrobiiand called yesiemay were the chosen representatives of the lawful voters of their distiicts.
