MoL ) pf tijp Chester Reporter] writes from Dallas, Texas, a general | condemnation of the efforts for reform made in this State in the campaigns of j Carpenter aild B a tier and Green and Delany. He contrasts the suocess of Texas, A|abama and Louisiana with the fail uro in Booth Carolina. The former State, be ?ays, bae wiped ont of existence the infamous Rtdiuul Go? vernment that was foisted upou ber by Federal bayonets in 1870, and her| affairs are now iu tbn control of ber own oitizens. As the result, peaae und quiet prevail in all her borders, eco? nomy controls expenditures in all de? partments of ber government, the people are uot borne down by oner? ous taxes, and plenty and prosperity every where or own the laborer's toil. The mode of affecting a like resalt] here, he argaes, is to change our tactics, and for the people, "with a spontaneous impalse, to rally on the raoe line and determine to no longer be slaves of their old slaves. Igno? rance and corruption have never yet been able to utund tutnc ground when bravely assailed by intelligence and. honesty." 'Softly, friend. 'We have) done what we oould. We have more ebstaoles and worse elements than ignorance aud corruption to deal with. So, unhappily for her, bus Louisiana. And as for Texas, she had the votes which enabled her to get rid of an in? famous government. We appreciate j the value of determination to throw off burdens, and resolution to do all that tbat implies. But there i? a power whioh would delight to put them on us again and double tbeir weight. Our ooodttion would be made worse. The whole difficulty here may be summed op in a word. We need I votes and. a more friendly and less aggressive General Government. We shall get both in time, we hope. Our Southern question is fast assuming na? tional importance, and the oolored voters are getting their eyes open. Misrule and tyranny are having their effect even- upon them. Cotton Baa?BKa.?Our Abbeville exchanges comment unfavorably upon a claps of traders de nominated "cotton rVggerB," who induce deprecations by The needy and thriftless upon the farm? ing interests and receive the sjoleu eotton in trade. Mr. Albert Olink soalea, on the Savaunah side of the Oonnty'.'eatimutea theamount of cotton abstracted,from,his plantation at fifty bales, and others have _loat in similar proportion to their farming operations. I .The loss is reputed to be so heavy that few, if any, of the sufferers will be able to run their farms another year. One of the'offenders, as we learn from the Greenwood New Era, deliberately ex? hibits seventy-five bales amassed abont his little shop, all the result of dili? gence in flying hie trade in the dead hours of night. The effect of this ne? farious practice is not only to snspend ibe productive operations of the farm, bot to deprive hundreds of laborers of emplpyment and of the means of sup? port. These fellows are as predatory in tbeir contracted sphere as the car pat-baggers in their larger field. It is suggested, in the absenoe of- more ef? fectual remedies of the enforcement of law, that tbeir names be published to the world and branded with infamy. It* might exert some restraining in llaence to have their names inscribed [.oa a "roil of dishonor." QakBNWooD Gajsd Factory Fonds. J. B. Tarrant, ?iq., Treasurer of the Greenwood Card Factory Company, gives notice that, in conformity to an order of the executive committee, a dis? tribution of its funds will be made among the minor children of soldiers who were killed or died during tbu late oivil war. Claimants will make immediate application to the Treasurer at Greenwood. Bavb Heb from Hbb Friends!?It is charitable to suppose tbat the At? lanta Newt is cracked. Tbat sheet hopes tbat "the citizens of New Or? leans will take op the gage of battle," and "orosh to atoms Sheridan and his horde." Contrast this frenzied Ulk with the thoughtful words of the fear? less Gordon) "Yon oannot hotter sab j serve the interests of Louisiana, of the South generally, and of liberty, than by continued forbearance, even nnto death." In saying this, Senator Gor I don ntters the Centimen la of every true .friend of Lanisiana. No one would have the heart to blame the Louisi I aalans, if, In despair, they did rise op j in arms to be shot down by Sheridan's knows .that saoh a course would strengthen Grant and Kellogg, and atrip Louisiana of the tremendous ad? vantage tbat her constancy and for? bearance have given her. Now the game is in her own hands. 1 ? i l;. * * 1 ??1 Themoath that is always open?The month of tue Mississippi. ..Gentlemen on both sides of the United States House of Representa? tives are at fever heat on tHeLoulehna question, and avail themselves of every opportunity to disouss it. Some members say that if the questioh of sustaining General Sheridan comes up, strict party linen will be drawn, and this would seem to be correct, for Mr. Willard, of VermoQt, is the only Re? publican member Who has thus far ex? pressed a disapprobation of the course that has been pursued there during tho past few days. Mr. Rale's resolu? tion, directing the Jud'ciary Commit? tee to report a bill for n new elec? tion in Louisiana, is construed ai a rtfl'ctiuu upou the administra? tion's employment of troops, but Mr. Hale suid not a word to iutimato that he offered hit resolution because of dissatisfaction with tho course of the Administration in the premises. On the Democratic Hide the denunciation of Sheridan's course, and especially of liid tcirgi'ut? iii th? ScCTotury v>f SVtiT, recommending that the people of thu State be declared bauditti, was very positive. Mr. Tremaine was Gen. Sheridau's most ardent defender M my Democrats believe 'that tho re? sult of this Louisiana qnesti 'n will be eu extra session of Congress, unless suoh definite action shnll be takeu as will ourb the power of the military. The extra session will be brought about by a refusal on the part of the Demoornts to permit the passage of the army appropriation bill, l'hey contend that they would be fully justi? fied and would secure the approval of the oountry by using all ParlUmeutury tneuns to defeat that bill, so long as the army is used to interfere in the oivil affairs of eovereigu Status. They had determined to resist its passage, anyhow, until they had ascer? tained how and by what authority attorney General Williams had used the tmlitury power, and Geuerul Sberidttu'8 despotic action at Ne? Or? leans has not tended iu the least to bring the military establishment iuto greater favor. The advautage of ao extra session of Congress would be, that tha Democrats wonld have control of the House, and they oould dictate terms in the bill which the Repnblioan majority will not now permit. The bill does not become operative until July 1, 1875, and ruber than permit the appropriation to fail, the Senat?, with a largely in oreused Democratic vote in that body, oould, it 18 believed, agree to curtain restrictions which would preyupt the miliiury from acting in. malteks]purely local, and which belong entir-jly to the States. It i? also urged nuw, with considerable, foroe, that the Forty fo.irth Congress shall be organized at oooe, because the Administration would act with less recklessness and disregard of law if the fact stared it in the face that a Demo? cratic House waa alwaya ready to inquire into its action and conduct. In reconstruction times the Republi? cans considered it necessary to have Congress in session ready to Watch Ku Klux operations and what they alleged to be Southern, outrages, and to ourb Mr. Johnson. The Democrats don't cousider it any less important now that the Republican administration should be watohud, end in order that President Grant should be ourbed. A "Rbpubmcan" Foiim or Govern? ment.?Some modern politicians ap? pear to think that wheu the Constitu? tion says that "the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a repablioeu form of government," it means a government by the Republican party. Such is evidently the idea of Marshal Packard, of New Orleans, who informed the Congressional in? vestigating committee the other day that he "did not believe a Republican State Government could maintain itself in this or any other Southern State without the aid and protection of United States troops." It is a very obvious remark that a government whiob oan only be maintained by mili? tary force, is scarcely "republican," even in "form," in the sense contem? plated by the Constitution, and most people will be disposed to eay that a government which can only bo thus maintaiued ought not to be maintained at all.?Philadelphia Inquirer. Eatinq and Sdbbpinq.?It is a mis? take to suppose that eating before sleeping is injurious. Not at all un freqnently does it happen that people are sleepless for want of food, and a little taken either when they first go to bed, or when they awake sloopless, wilt be generally fouod far more eflicaoious, aud, of course, infinitely less injurious than any drug iu the chemist's phar? macopeia. These are the physical remedies for sleeplessness which have the best recommendation. As for the motul ones, there is certainly a good deal more to be said. Perhaps the most stringent of nil rules is, "Avoid auxiety." Chewing the bitter end of a quarrel is a thousand fold more in? jurious to repose than swallowing a whole tenpotful of the very greenest of green tea. Sheridan telegraphed on Friday to tho War Department thut he finds himself misrepresented in tho North? ern papers, as their comments are telegraphed to New Orleans, and smarts under criticism. He says he was instructed to report the actual coudi-ion of alf tira iu the Sooth, and thut he did so briefly. If neeeasarv he will send the names of 4,000 persona who have been murdered in the Sooth since the close of tha war, and that he ?an readily give as many names of murderers unpunished. When the despatch waa read by the President he said: "Peace shall be maintained iu the South even it it requires the econo? my of blood." l^ii.i iMxjWrwn *?>? **>r'' , I P Wofs .-rv.i,i #1m ? Ohio and Massachusetts Sound th? Aiuru. ? Governor Allen, of OS*io, baa sent the following message to the General Assembly, wbioh was referred to the Committee on Federal Rela? tions: I desire to call your attention to the grave oiroomstunoe of the inter? ference of Federal troops in the re-or? ganization and proceedings of the Legislature of a sister State. If the reported aotion of the military in nu eentiug persons claiming to bo mem? bers of tbo Louisiana Legislature, aud giving thfeir places tu persons contest? ing tbe BiniH, is true, und is legal and proper, then the same interference would he legal aud proper here, and it seoujs to be tbe duty of tbe representa? tives of the people of this State to at onoo enter a vigorous protest ugtiiut-t this action, that way he made a prnoe d?ut at Home future time for the over? throw of civil government here. If there is a law warranting tbe settling of contested election eases in State Legislatures by tbe nae of Feder?! troops, then, iu my judgment, you should request its immediate repeal. If there i* no law for it, then your in diguaut protest should he heard ut Washington, insisting upon such ao? tion by Congress as will prevent, in the future, snob flagrant outrages against civil liberty. (.lovervor Gaston, of Massachusetts, in his message refers to tbe Louisiana matter as follows: The preseucs of an armed force of Uuited States troops in the Legislature of a S'ate for tbe pur? pose of settling the election contests between political parties, is a matter of great concern to all the people of tbe State?, iu caaea where the possible effect of ?ueh presence may be to sub? vert the popular will, uud impose upon the people rulers whom they have not selected. I invite the immediate at? tention of the Legislature to this sub? ject. A Standing Arm v.?A late Wash? ington twlegram to the Ciuciuiluti Commercial says that "one of the plans of the Southern Republicans, which has been determined upou by tbe caucus committee, is to propose tbe inorease of the standing army to 100,000 men." Under, ordinary cir? cumstances, a correspondent who wonld attribute such a design to any man or set of men iu Congress would be considered a lunatic. Tbe Chatta? nooga Convention even did not get as far as this. It made u summarized statement concerning the White League, aaJ intended to supplement it with au earnest call for ''more troops," but this was struck out upou the reeommeudatioo of Senator Went. The army now consists of 25,000 meu of all arms, strong enough for all legiti? mate purposes. If all tbe organisa? tions in tbe service were recruited np to the maximum, tbe rack aud file of the army would number 45,000 men, whiob wonld be the largest number possible Without creating new regiments. There is no prejudice more deeply rooted in tbe Amsrioan mind than that against a large standing army, and it is not to be presumed that such a monstrous proposition as that mentioned by the Commercial's correspondent is seriously entertained by any one."

Our new Opera House is to be dedi? cated to-morrow eveniDg. Miss Pbil? lipps, the prima donna, has appeared before a Colombia audience, and waa generally admired. The "Barber of Seville" and the character of "Rosine" is thus spoken of by a musical critic: "The plot of the opera may be briefly summed up. Count Almaviva falls in love with Rosina, the ward of Dr. Bartolo, who desires to marry her himself, but the loves her unknown lover. The Gonnt confides in Figaro, the barber and confidante of the town, who helps on his cause. The Ooont enters Dr. Bartolo's house in the dis? guise of a drunken soldier, and after? ward that of a music teaoher, but is discovered each time. They elope and are finally forgiven and blessed by the guardian, on his learning the Count's identity. Suoh a plot, care? fully worked, leads, of course, to a enmber of pleasant situations, and their comic side is finely brought out. The musio is appropriate to the words, and with acting and singing as good as that of last night, the opera is oue sf the most delightful ever written. Sung, as it is, in Italian, the work of convey? ing impressions to the audience lies in a thorough interpretation of the parts and the faculty of expressing the va? rious emotions faithfully by singing aud gesture. As Rosina, Miss Phil lipps exoeeded the highest anticipa? tions of her most sanguine friends. Reqniriog not only a flexible voice but a mobile face as well, the part suf? fers no violence at her hands. She displays a vivacity and coqnettishncss that have never been excelled. Orlau dini makes a capital Figaro. His voice is rich and full, and is uuder tho best of control. His aotiug, too, is natural aud unrestrained, provoking mirth throughout. As the 'Mutual Friend,' he manages to be in the way at just the right time, and is equal to all emergencies. Tom Karl's pore sweat tenor fits into the musio of the Count's part as if it were its own. He sings smoothly and without those nn ? . Jl _1.1 _ I._ coum grtuiaeoo nuu cuui m ?>uivu *>? see in so many tenors. BsooelU, as Bartolo, the jealous, watchful guar? dian, also made many friends by hia very fine and faithful acting, and Looa tslli'a dsep bass voice made itself heard above everything. As a whole, a more satisfactory or agrseabls performance it is hard lo conceive." Clara.
