Citart.es Francis Adams, in a letter to

advice to the Conservative memlei-s nf
Louisiana Legislature in the present crisis
affairs in that State :
.. l,n w-it is to be done to-day? One
thing thfit I can see. and onlv ono. ran 1.a
dom;. Let the consevative legislature of i
Louisiana give solemn notice to tho whole
world that they are now subjected by force
to a usurpation, every act of wbi. h "is null
and void, and shall be so treated hereafter.
Let thetn publicly declare that so surely as

This one solemn notice civen. lot the con-
servative legislatnro hold up Vs bands in

The Congressional investigating commit
tee in New Orleans have bad before them
Col. Harry A. Morrow, whom Gen. Sher
man has highly commended for trustwor
thiness. Among other things Col. M. tes
tified": "I have been through Coushatta,
Lincoln, Washington and Caddo, and all
parishes to the north of Red river, and have
never heard any citizens eipiess hostility
te tho United States. I attribute the un
ceitain condition of the State, m the first
place, to a deep-seated opinion on the part
of the people that they have been defrauded
of their rights at the elections ; secondly,
that they feel themselves to have been im
posed on by some of the processes of law.
There is also a feeling on the part of the
people that is more imaginary than real in
relation to tho negro. They do not regard
the black man as exactly entitled to tho
position that he occupies. For instance, in
the parish of Natchitoches a jury of black
men, not ono of whom could write his
name, had sat in a case involving $180,000,
that was regarded by both parties as some
thing that was not right. I found else
where that there was an opinion that col
ored men had been placed in positions of
more importance than their edncaiion en
titled thfm. I talked freely with all classes
of people in relation to the negroes, and
thinking at tbattime that the election here
bad been carried by the Conservatives, I
was anxious to know what effect it would
have on the condition of tho black man,
whether the power they had acquired would
be used to oppress him or whether he would
be allowed to go forward and enjoy privi
leges guaranteed to bim by the geneiallaws
of the land and the constitution. With few
exceptions I was answered that the negro
would have none of bis rights taken from
him. These rights would be guaranteed
bim ; that there would be no effort to cur
tail them in any respect. There were ex
ceptions, where it was said that the darkey
would have to take a back seat, but as a
rnle the best class of people (I could name
some of them if necessary) expressed the
former opinion."
Mr. Zacbarie From your observations
throughout the State do you think that if
under a free and fair election, Republicans
of ordinary ability and honesty were elect
ed would the people submit to officers so
elected.
Col. Morrow I do believe so, for the rea
son that in Natchitoches parish the sheriff,
being a fair man and fairly elected, told no
that there was no disposition to interfere
with bis work.
Mr. Zacbarie Did Conservatives ever
claim more than they were entitled to be
inducted into cflices to which they were
elected ?
Colonel Morrow Tbey claimed nothing
more.
Deattt of a Self-Con kcss ed Wife
Murderer. Our readers will remember
that sonic time ago Geoige Peters called at
the Sheriff's office, at Lebanon, and made
a full confession of having killed his wife
many yea is aero, and voluntarily delivered
himself into tho bands of the officer. He
was for a number of years the keeper of a
tavern along the Union Canal, near Leban
on. He was put on trial recently, when he
lead "not guilty," under the instructions
of counsel, no doubt, and owing to a mistake
in tho indictment the jury returned a ver
dict of not guilty, as instructed by the
Court. At tho time of the trial the pris
oner was in feeble health. After his trial
and acquittal beseemed to be content, sat
isfied that be had made peace with God,
and seemed to believe he would soon be
called to render a final account to Him. He
was still in jail, awaiting the decision of
Court una proposition to institute new pro
ceedingsagainst him. Gradually he became
irnne feeble, and on Wednesday morning,
January 27th, he died. It is a very remark
able coincidence that he killed his wife ex
actly nineteen years ago on the same day
of the. month, January 27th, and about the
same hour of the day, 9 o'clock, a. m.
A Mississippi planter writing to the N.
Y. S'm, shows the effect of negro and carpet-bag
rule in that unhappy State, by an
exhibit of the taxes be pays. For the year
1874 his taxes. State, county and leveo,
npou property of an assessed value of
about $JVi,000, amonnt to the sum of $4,
80:1, which is equivalent to a tax of five
dollars per acre upon all of his land which
is under cultivation ; and for this enormous
taxation there is little besides a continually
increasing public debt to show. People
living m the "black belt" of Mississippi,
if they could have foreseen what was to
come, would have shown their wisdom by
abandoning their real property to the
blacks immediately afir the war and leav
ing the State which has become the theatre
of such rapacity. It is to keep official
roffnes like those in Mississippi in authority
that. Grant is violating the laws and the
Constitution by bis military interference in
the affairs of the reconstructed States.
His objects are power and plunder, the
same as those of bis confederates in the
merciless crusade upon the white popula
tion of the South.
It is probable, says tho Pittsburgh Ga
zettt, that ere long sewing machines will be
cheap enough for even the poorest families
to possess ono. Tho refusal of the House
committee to extend the patent on sewing
machines is a move in the right direction,
and in the interest of the laboring people of
the country. It will have the efiect to re
duce the price of sewing machines from
their present exorbitant rate as low as $20.
It is in evidence that the cost of the average
sewing machine is bnt $12, and that small
manufacturers are required to pay the sew
ing machine combination as much as $40
profit on each machine manufactured. It
is also a -curious fact that Wheeler & Wilson
sewing machines can be purchased in Eu
rope and brought to this country for just
one-half of the price they cost here, includ
ing all cost of freight, duty, etc., the reason
being that they have no protection there,
any one being allowed to make them. The
enormous amount of money already made
by the several companies ought to satisfy
them. At all events, Congress is deter
mined that the people shall have a chance.
A fireless stove, as it is called, is now
being tried by a street car company in
Columbus, Ohio. It is described as a small
iron box placed under the car seat. The
box contains the necessary pipes and valves,
and is filled with water. The heat is sup
plied at the depot. A small upright boil
er, not higher than a man of ordinary
stature, mid consuming no more coal than
a large heating stove, supplies the steam.
By means of rubber hose, the steam is in
troduced into the stove through a pipe
which projects from the outside of the car.
In a shm-t time the condensed tteam beats
tho water to 212 degrees, and the car is
heated and ready for travel. In a trip of
one mile and return, occupying about forty
minutes, the stove only lw?es 30 degrees of
beat. Then another charge of steam is
given, and the temperature of the ear is
kept pleasant constantly.
