A goo4 deal of interest has been aroused by .a deeisten of the Supreme Court of North ariolina to the effect tt t the trial of a United Matra revenue officer for assault may be tranferred from the State it the Federal courts. The artest of Esxebldo ought to have a tuieting effect on Jim Blaine's nerves, and low that the government has shown that it cares lott at all who is President of Mexico, it is to be hoped that it will demand a prompt apology from Diar, for his insolence in regard to the irders to Gen. Ord. We publish in another column a communi cation from the editor of the Marshall (Texas) Iferald, who asks whether it is true that many of the leading men of our State are exercising their influence to prevent the prosecution of the membnrs of the Returning Board, and that the Governor himself is op vowed to it. The columns of the DEMOtRIIAT show, by interviews which have been given to the public and by its news columns in gen eral, that public sentiment throughout the Ntate Is in favor of the prosecution to the bitter end of the men who have attempted to steal our dearest liberties, and no word has been uttered by the (overnor tending to show that he is in favor of permitting the rascals to escape and letting such disgraceful bygone doings go without inquisition and punish ment. The log war still rags. All partles there unto are now in the city. That romantic and in ysterious personage, the chief conspirator. as he Is regarded by the logmen, Col. Carter is present. He is a handsome, intelligent, eZurteous young fellow, who appears to he "eolid" with the Interior Departiment; and afects to be a great Nimrod, though by the nature of the "game" he has hunted down and the devious manner of his chase, we are led to look on hin as a lon Roy, somewhat degenerated. There Is also in attendante at the Custom House Mr. Couturie, who represents Conmlis aloner Chamberlain and the other appraisers sent under the special order of Judge Billings to relieve the Marshal of the duty of investigating and appraising the lhgs, to which intrusion upon his high functions the Marshal protests, and is supported therein by the District Attorney. The milllmn are also represented by two very intelligent men, who want the matter settled so that the logs may move for ward to the mills and give their hands and machinery employment. Then the purchasers and claimants of the logs have two very shrewd and experienoed lawyers and merchants to protect the interest of the logmen. All those parties besiege and clamor around the genial, fruitful and inex haustibly eloquent and humorous United titates Marshal, who stands like an old buck up to his quarters in water, and tosses his various assailants with his long antlers right and left, making the Calcasiou river foam and rise into high waves, which threaten to sub merge and drown the whole caboodlle of in tervenors and resisters in their wanton en deavors to block the desperate game of a few blackmailers and political bummers in their very new and interesting effort at "log roling." Hartranft calls on President Hayes for 200, 300 volunteers, to serve for two months against the strikers, who appear to have' taken possession of a large portion of the property of the railroad companies and have -ent to disgraceful flight the valiant militia of Pennsylvania, which a short while ago this redoubtablecommander-in-chiefof 400.000 well-armed troops threatened to hurl against the White League of Lomisiana. Now, m citizens and taxpayersof the United tates, we protest against any such use of power on the part of the President of the United States, as this Radical warrior pro poses. President Hayes stated correctly and clearly the extent of his authority in furnish ing the military aid of the Federal Govern ment to Governors to suppress mobs within their States. They must show that they have exhausted their own means; that their own posse comiitatu has failed to enforce their own laws and prote t the property and lives of their own citizens before their requisitions upon the Federal Government can be heeded. To raise 200,000 volunteers to operate against the people would be a usurpation on the part of the President of the war making power which is vested in Congress. Let Mr. Hart ranft enforce the laws of his own State and , pay the expenses of his own ponse coma itatus. President Hayes has military force sufficient to protect the property and enforce the laws of the United States. If the President's force is not adequate to do this, let .idm send to Louisiana, and he (can in a day obtain a posse comitatu, s of mlen who will fight against all assailants of the rights and property of the republic, but who would regard it as neither their right or duty to volunteer to fight in Pennsylvania nor the protection of the corrupt and oppres sive monopolies of that State, as Hartranft i so magnanimously proposed to do, for the 1 carpet-bag plunderers and oppressors of our people. The militia and police of this State I are not apt to run away from mobs, but they do not readily volunteer to fight the battles of governments and peoples who hav'n't the r manhood to defend their own government'" and property. t THE BOTT' M FAUTS OF TIE. CAL bASIEU 0ASF. We have heretofore avoided the expression of any very fpaltitve opinion with reference to the Calcasleu troubles for the rr seon that we have found'it almost imnposeAh',e to obtain the necessary 'hata upon which to discuss the nmatter intelligently, so tie nsely has it been olscured by contradi4eter'y assertions of the most violent kind, as we'd as by mysteries of the most mItspleious ehwracter. At last, how ever, wetlilnk we see I) ght through the cloud of conflicting statements in which it has been involvedl. We find that the ease is one that will rest in the main on facts, which it weor usoloss for us to diseuss in anticpation, since the evidenee ptl ,which they depend is doeu mentary, ad,. therefore, of the most positive and certain w.haracter. It is idle for us, for instance, tiolpt the assertions of either Mr. Carter, tih government agent, or the parties defendant, as to the titles of certain lands. We, ttlhrefore, avoid this portion of the 3ase, and limit ourselves to the only legitimate sublects of discussion, the law and the inter pret~ion and execution it has received in this ease lt the hands of the officials of the gov eriment. Artir a most diligent anad thorough investi gation we are forced to the conclusion that great blame attaches to the government In this matter, and to its officers on account of (the irregularity and arbitrariness of their acts. r All of this trouble has arisen out of the ab Stsurd policy of the government in the disposi I tion of the public domain. Immediately after the war all of these lands, which are without any value save that derived from the timber on them, were withdrawn from the market with the object of reserving themn solely for homesteads, under the absurd idea that the negros, would rapidly settle them, and thus become a sturdy race of husbandmen and farmers. The slightest knowledge of the negro character would have satisfied Con gross that this proposition was absolutely impracticable; but that was a day when the negro question was the linltless utopia of every Northern sentimentalist, and the practical experience of the Southern men was but the guile of the serpent. The first fruits of the hlomestead act of ii66 was the entry upon the lands of the lumber men. who complied with the first requirement of it by making an actual settlement, but re mained on their entries only long enough to cut the timber ofl and then abandoned them for others. In order to put a stiop to these fraudulent entries, the government made certain regulations with reference to the amount of timber tlit could be cut; but, of course, thlles regulations could not be enforcedi, and finally it was deter mined to withdraw the lands from the market altogether. At the last session of Congress the act of 18166 was trepealed, and all of this finely timbered country will bm "oflered" at public auction in the fall at $1 25 per acre, so that, in any event, the lumber trade of Cal casien can suffer but a temporary interrup tion. But' in the meanwhile is it necessary that it should be entirely suspended. and is it not possible to relieve in some way the large interests Involved front the embargo that rests upon them and, at the same time, put an end to the suffering it entalil upon so many human beings? We are decildedly of the opinion that all this can be done, and if it is not done the government will be re sponsible for a great injusticeo and a nmuch greater inhumanity. In the first place we think that the presence of Judge Billings is absolutely necessary, and we insist on his return to the city. All of the vexed questions with roghmrd to inventories and bonds demand immediate settlement, and he is the only person vested with author ity to pass upon them. This is not an ordi nary case, which can just as well lie over till fall, but by reason of the human suffering delay unavoidably involves, it should be spoodily determined, and this consideration should bring the Judge back to his post at once. Otherwise we see but one way in which relief can be afforded, and that is by the gov ernment accepting the inventories made by the appraisers under an order of court, which we are disposed to believe, should be done, and allowing the property to be bonded at once. The principles of law applicable to the case are very few and simple. The intervenors in this case have the right to demand the re lease of the property sequestered on proper bonds, and to this end they have the right to have the same inventoried and appraised as speedily as possible. This, as we understand it, is all that they have ever asked, and this they have a legal right to demand. That there had been culpable delay on the part of Marshal Pitkin in making the inven tories there can be no doubt. He gave vari ous excuses of violent interference with his deputies and so on, none of which can be ac cepted. In consequence of his tardiness the intervenors applied for and obtained the ap pointment of appraisers, and an order of court authorizing and directing them to make the inventory, which has no other object than to serve as a basis for an appraisement and for the identiflication of the property seized. These parties went to work, and in a com paratively short time completed the inven tories and made the appraisement, and now the intervenors are here prepared to bond the logs under seizure, on securities approved by Commissioner Chamberlain, who was sent down to take affidavits of bondsmen as to their solvency and other qualifications. But the District Attorney and Govern ment Agent Carter decline to recog nize the appraisement and inventory made by.the appraisers, and insist upon the in ventory being made by the Marshal, in ac cordance with the law. The Marshal also insists upon making the inventory with as much earnestness as if he were, also, a guardian of the interests of the government, instead of a mere conservator and executive officer, who should have no interest in the matter and has no duty to perform, except to olbey the orders of the court. Now, this is all wrong. The duties of the Marshal are to both parties, and he should manifest no feeling, nor give expression to any opinion in favor of either party. A proper conception of the dignity and duties of his position requires this, and he has nothing whatever to do but to obey the orders of court. There is an order of court, presuma bly made contradictorily with the District Attorney, that the appraisers should make this inventory, and this order must maintain until it is revoked by the court. The District Attorney and the government, as well as the parties defendant, are bound by it alike. It is not obligatory on the Marshal to go on with his inventory since the order of court, j made, as we are bound to infer, by the con- 1 sent of both parties to the suit, has imposed I that duty upon other parties. If the inven tory made by the apnlir:isers in not a proper one, the blame redta entirely with the 1)is trict Attorney 'or allowing the order under which it is made. COrtainly the Marshal In curs no responsibility, and has no interest whatever in the matter. Indeed, so long as that onler stands the Marshal is going out side of his functions in making another inven tory or in interferring in any way further than to hold the property subject to the orler of court. Practically thi isn all he is doing or can do. JuTdge Millings is the only one who can sett~i the trouble,. aisd the continuance of it, with nil the un neossary suffering involvedl. is due entirely to his absence from his post. All that is necessary td be done is tdpass upon the bonds offered for the release of the property. li, alone can do this, and until he do(sn it the property must remain tiel up, unless thell District Attorney sees fit to withdraw his ob jections to the inventory of the appraisers and the bonds based on it. Judge Billings should enforce his order and release the logs, and should (do so peremptorily. THE RUSS AND TURK, Our domestic wars have served to with draw attention from the progress of the great struggle between Russia and Turkey. The accounts of the various conflicts and movements in the latter contest are nearly as confusing and inexplicable as the telegrams that reach us from Chicago, Pittsburg, St. Louis and other scenes of the great war ie tween the strikers and militiamen. There in one stubborn and certain fact which appears to be conceded by all accounts. This is, the safo passage of a large portion of the army of the Grand lDuke Nicholas through the Bal kans, leaving behind an adequiate force to engage and hold tihe strong Turkish garrisons of Shumla and Varna on the northern side of the mountains. Thlis being the military sit uation some great battles are imminent, of which we shall be happy if we do not receive the accounts belfore they occur and be coll pelled In twenty-four hours nfterward to cor n.t the sani3, anlld reverse theo Ireported glo rious victory f tihe llurks alnd nnihilating disasters of tile Rulssilans. The Russians. we I.'e aIssnred bly tlhat mnost intelligent of all thel Russophiles, our friend Frank of tile St. ('arles, a veritalle vandal whilo i familiar with the whole country as well as with the strategy and designs of the Russians, have advanced within tllirty miles of Adrianople. Thither the government at Constantinople has dlirecte all its lespl'rate forces, and assigned tihe victorious subjugator of the Montenegrins, Suleiman eBy, to the chilf command, with Mahonoet (the (terman General Schuster) ias the seRond in command. This hooks like a heroic resolution of the Turks to force a declsive conflict unwer the walls of their ancient capital, which they hild for over a hundred years against all the powers of Christianity, then installvcl at Constantinople. Old Aibdul Kerlin has been left behlid to hold the quadrilateral forts, if he has not been left still further be hind throu througI the intrigues anl dliscolntents of the cabinet at Stamboul, who have already Insured the inactivity or incomlprehllensi bility of his strategy. With a full knowledge of the enormous obesit.yof old Kerml, and Ills heavy draft on the collnissailat of a whole goat for his dally subs11itance, and his ilicapacity for cele'ritoll locomotion, the! IIIl tan has retained him ill chllief 'ommanlnnl of all tilhe Turkish forces which ought to have guardled the Balkan pnsses. Whilst he was feasting on his goat, the Grand Duke Nicholas, contenting himnself with a tallow candle for dinner, and a loaf o(f black bread for tea, has pushed his (Cosac(ks and his heavy infantry through the Balkans .and moves steadily on Adrianople. Here the fate of Constantinople and Tur key will be determined and when the decisive battle has been fought, and it will (Ioubtlmess Ie a terrible and sanguinary one, we shall probably hear somnething from Austria and England. And if they do not speak In em phatic and decisive terms, we may conclude that the time has arrived to inscribe on the pillar which the Russians will doubtless Orect on the scene of the final conflict before Adri anople, the eloquent epitaph that marked the aite of the ancient Troy, Illium Fuil. Moslem rule in Europe will thenceforth become a mere reminiscence, and the cross will wave over the whole of Europe as it did in the dlays of the great Constantine. One of the great evils and abuses of the tax system is the enormous exemptions of capitals and moneys of corporations, not pub lic, religious, educational or charitable, from the burden of taxation, which fall so heavily upon all private persons. There are three of these corporations located in New Orleans, which derive and divide immense incomes from their exclusive privilege of taxing the people, that (1do not pay a dollar of tax to the city. There is the Sugar Shed Company which collects an average charge of eighty cents for every hogshead of sugar, and fifty cents for every barrel of molasses landed on the levee, and estimates its capital at $180,000, making twenty per cent dividend among its stock holders per annum. This company has never paid city or State a dollar of taxes. Next, the Slaughter-House Company, which collects a tax of four or five hundred dollars a day from the fresh meat butchered in the sacred precincts of its abattoir and sold in our markets, is not required to divert from its stockholders, not one of whom is a butcher paying a license, a single dollar into the city treasury. Lastly, the Louisiana Lot tery, with an income from its franchises of a million or so a year extracted from th3 peo ple, is invested with the same immunity from city taxation, which the constitution provides shall only be given to religious, educational, or charitable institutions. And these are not all the corporations which enjoy these exclusive privileges of col lecting immense sums from the people with out contributing a dollar to the support of the municipal government, which gives them the same protection that is extended over the whole people. President Wheelock writes most cheeringly from New York of the disposition of capital ists to furnish the iron or steel rails and the running stock for the New Orleans Pacific, on first mortgage security, when the roadbed has been laid. All that is needed is to secure the $675,000 of subscription by our people to insure the early completion and equipment of this road. There is unemployed capital enough in this city to furnish this amount without cramping the movable capital in our city. The New York Sun says that "the Southern journals appear to be pretty nearly unani mous on in favor of Sam. J. Randall for Speaker." We have not seen one that was "unanimous" on that subject yet. uEITUIRMVNIN I BOARD INDICTEELNT4. Letter on the aubjeet from a Texan mEditor. lion. William L.

He is much intereatedl to know how Ohio will go In Octo her. He expressed the hope that the Ohio IRepublhians would not forget, forsake or neglect the poo(r, struggling Repuhlican or ganiration in Louisiana. 'There had been no dilsturbances of a political charactr n Louis iana for some time. Governor Nicholls seemed to be admlinistering the afflirs of Ktato to the satisfaction orf all parties, i[Cn cinnati ('oomnerclal. The above is from one of the most C(onser vative of the Republican papers of the North west. The animus of it is, that Packard and the members of the Returning Board are honest men and pure patriots; that they have been unjustly treated aud dishonestly driven from power. Do the people of Louisiana not know that this is the opinion of fully one-half of the honest, well meaning Republicans of the North ? Are Packard, Wells & Co., thieves and plunderers ? Have they feasted and en riched themsenlves by dlishonest legislation and debauching the public service ? How are you . nmeet this ? how vindicate yourseolves, andl ido justice to pure government unless you arraign thane men before the courts of the country, where the lufanmy of their conduct will be fully exposed ? It is a strange thing to chronicle, that when men are malefactors In the generic sense of the term and have outraged every principle which honest men hold dear and sacred, that they should be defended openly and violently by men and newspapers who profess to reject virtue, politically and socially. What of those that are denominatedl Bour hoin, chief among which is the Now Or leans Democrat? If I renad aright it was their policy, deternmination and courage which tacluorulslhedl this late victory in Louisiana. They are the ones to-day who are the real representatives of the Nicholls government. They have revived no doeal issues. and have instituted no measures that qui.etioneil the title of the President. Is it true, then, that nimany of the leading nmen of your State are exercising their influ cnce to prevent these prosecutions and that the Governor himself is opposed to them?
