STATE The misfortune of the Government of the State, of Western Virginia in not having a sufficient force to promptly vindicate its authority, has resulted in a serious public disturbance. When the rioting began at Matinsburg, a firm show of authority backed by a body of disciplined men might have been sufficient to check the outbreak, and the restoration of civil authority would have been followed by some peaceable arrangement. But the Legislature of the State had left the Government without even a militia organization. The Governor was powerless to maintain civil authority.

Themis-conduct of the company which did repair to the scene of the difficulty aggravated the evil instead of suppressing it. The triumph of the strike over the State authorities encouraged the sympathisers elsewhere te join in the movement, and! increased the excitement to fever heat. No doubt there will be much moralizing upon the Great3 Strike when quiet is restored. No doubt the philosophers of the time will draw from it abundant illustrations of this or that peculiar theory in political science. But St ate Governments learn from the history of present events the practical necessity of maintaining sufficient force to give some suppoir, in time of sudden tumult, to the dignity of the State authority.

1 The advocates of a standing army for the United. States Government will not fail to urge that the present difficulties show the necessity for keeping a considerable force of regular troops in the service of the Federal Government. But if the State governments relied upon themselves to4 maintain peace within their borders, there would be no necessity for Federal help, at least unless the rioting assumed the proportions of actual It could not have been contemplated by the framers of the constitution that a few hundreds rioters at a railroad depot would so paralyze and prostrate the Government of a State as to leave the Governor nothing else to do than to fold his hands behind him and call upon the President for help. There ought, at least, to be some show of effort to rally the people to the support of the State authority, before making a confession of absolute helplessness in the face of a few hundred or a few, thousand voters, forming but a fractional portion of the population. There is Gov.

Hartranf of Pennsylvania, who a few months ago was organizing bis State army in anticipation of a disturbance trrowimr out of the Presidential election. He could spare some 20, COO men, it was reported, towards maintaining the authority of the Government and despatching the "bulldozers" in Louisiana. Now, when he is called upon to maintain the authority of law in his own State, he collapses utterly before the railroad strike, and appeals to the President for protection. This condition of things is attributable, at least, partially, to the idea of "obliterating State lines" which was so popular in the last Administration. The disposition to interpose the central authority in the internal affairs of the States naturally tends to break down State pride and to destroy popular respect for State laws.

Under a constitutional Demo cratic Administration the States would soon recover the principles of self-government and the virtue of self-reliance, in which some of them are now 60 deficient. The Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Roads have been "reducing" since 1873. In their competition with each other and with the water Hues, they have been cutting down their rates from time to time, and cutting down the running expenses in proportion. The war which has been waging between these two great corporations has been hard on their employees, whose wages have been shorn fto effect the reductions in current expenses. The point seems to have been reached at last when the war must cease from sheer exhaustion.

There is no chance for another turn of the screw. The material will not bear the strain. The running expenses seem to have reached their minimum, and the struggle for cheaper transportation probably found its limit for the present. p. a a.

A special meeting of the Firemen's Oharitable Association was called last night, and took place in the office of the Firemen's Insurance Company. The object of the meeting was in relation to certain pecuniary matters of the association, and more especially as regards the scrip lately received by the association from the city, and distributed among the different companies. It was aeemea aavisaDie Dy the President not to dispose at present of the scrip at the price offered for them by brokers, as he was of opinion that they were worth more than the price offered and would eventually sell at a higher rate. Where Did Phelps Go? i At about 10 o'clock, on the night of the 22d intu Officer Evans, of the Fifth Precinct, attempted to execute a warrant from the Second Recorder's Court, on one George Phelps, on the lake shore, between MUneburg and Bayou St. 'John.

Phelps resisted the officer, and being armed with a shotgun, threatened to kill him. The patrolman, fearing for his life, drew his revolver and fired several shots at the man, who. 'in the meantime, jumped ioto the lake. Whether the shots took effect or not could not be ascertained, as Phelps has not been seen in the vicinity of the lake shore since. FRO EI THE LOG BOOK.

The True Relations Existing tween the Government and the Logmen. Be A Story of Oppression and of Ruin.

The Real Condition of Things and i People in Calcasieu. This is not-the first time that we have been compelled to correct the mischievous errors of our young neighbor, the Times, and to vitiate its efforts in casting calumny and reproach on the people of this State. -Charitably refraining from any allusion to the past, as a mark of courtesy to the craft, we will; merely speak of its tirade against the good people of Calcasieu, and endeavor to enlighten it upon the merits of the destructive war now being made npon them, not by the Government, but by a few officials, who, for tcrutable purposes of their own, are trying to bring as much poverty and misery, upon the people of that section as they possibly We do not say that these officials do this mischief for mischiefs sake alone; they have a deeper design, and it is our purpose to penetrate it. We have already explained the actual cause of hostilities in Calcasieu, and the grievous results they have wrought, but lest our opinions and deductions should be judged as biased favor of our own people, we yesterday dia patched a reporter to interview Judge Chamberlain, the commissioner appointed by Jndge Billings to proceed to Calcasieu and protect the interests of the Government. During his sojourn in Calcasieu Judge Chamberlain commended him to the people by his impartial conduct and his genuine anxiety to relieve the people and protect the Govern ment.

The reporter found the Judge communicative -and frank. It might seem to his interest to join with others in vilifying the people, but his sense of right, his experience in th parish, the wretchedness he has witnessed, and his belief, in the rectitude of the Jadge who appointed turn, combined to make him open and sincere in his statements. It is possible that this candid confession of Judge Chamberlain may not commend himself to the favor of certain small officials whose connection with the judiciary department hangs upon a slender thread, and he is therefore entitled to the greater credit for so boldly espousing the cause cf right. To make the interview the more connected and intelligible, we will briefly give it in substance An individual named Carter, (a self- assumed Niiorod), claimed to have discovered this great fraud in Calcasieu. How far his assumptions are justified may be gathered from the faot that the pnblio timber in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama has been a favored subject of sensation with all successive administrations for years baek.

Mr. Carter can not, therefore, claim a patent for originality. About three years ago a maa Darned Robinson was detailed (like Carter) to visit Calcasieu on a detective mission. He, too, was a hunter, and developed into a blackmailer, according to the information of Judge Chamberlain. He was armed (like Carter) with the power of the Government, and in order to qniet him and keep their business from interruption, the mill men agreed to pay him forty cents on the thousand feet.

Robinson said that the mill owners were receivers of stolen property, but he failed to show where the property was Btolen from, or what was stolen, but the mill men agreed to pay the tribute lest their mills should be stopped by dilatory proceedings. As a rule these mill men own little land they merely receive the. timber floated down to them upon the river and saw it. The tribute imposed by Robinson was then charged upon the purchasers, but after a few months Robinson's "game" being discovered, he was summarily abolished. More than that, he was arrested, convicted and imprisoned in Calcasieu.

In contradistinction to the wild statement made in the Times, almost all the logs now in custody nave been cut from private property. It appears that along the Calcasieu River and its tributaries, for a width of a mile and a half, the property is entered land, otherwise private property. The last eight or ten months being a season of drouth, the river was low in some places dry and is was impossible to float any timber beyond the limit in other words, none but timber belonging to private property could be profitably floated. It is not denied that in other years some Fob lie Timber may have been cut and sold, but the absence of a freshet or flood has this year prevented the poEsibility of using public timber. During the past eight months no freshet having takenplaoe.it would not pay to transport public timber to the rivers and.flcat it down.

The logs now held in custody must therefore be from partly nearly all private property. Judge Chamberlain roughly estimates the private property at nine-tenths of the whole. It is possible that the timber cut from public property might have been derived as much from State as from national lands, but Carter claims nine-tenths of the whole for the United States Government, with out being able to point to a single log as belonging to anybody in particular. The logmen state that if the Government is able to establish its claim to any part of the property under seizure, they will pay the entire cost of such property, so that the industry of the parish may net be impeded. There are now 50,000 logs under seizure, and a careful estimate does not place them beyond a valuation of from $35,000 to $38,010.

It is well to note hre that before the matter had passed from the Department of the Interior to that of -the Judiciary, that a committee of mill-owners waited upon Nimrod Carter, it being understood that he was empowered to compromise with the former department. They found that they could stop all trouble by paying a certain sum to Mr. Carter as agent, but for reasons of their own they declined to foot up the five thousand dollars suggested. Proceedings broke off here, and Mr. Carter soon found himself transferred to the Judiciary Department, where no compromises were suggested, i This sudden change in affairs provoked possibly A Desire ef Retaliation on the part of Mr.

Carter and his little subordinates, and Mr. Chamberlain states that these men have persistently need their utmost to ore vent a anwui adjustment or difficulties. They had the authority, and were supposed by law to make an immediate inventory. In the meantime the United States Court appointed appraisers to make an inventory. The marshals were ahead, and were offered all acilities by the people, bet they rejected all, evidently being determined to wear the people out.

The commissioners arrived and made their inventories, and by a singular fact they coincided, as far as made, with those iuade by the marshals, who rejected assistance. From the 13th of May till the 17th of June the marshals had never taken an inventory. By the 26th of June the appraisers had inventoried 82,000 logs, (in ten days) and at this time the marshals had inventoried only 797. In response to queries as to this phenomenon. Carter and his creatures only in- 6oitea tne people.

Jadge Chamberlain brought down witnnuntne bonds which he accepted for the approval of the District Attorney, Mr. Laoey. The latter yesterday naa mens in consideration, hut stated previously that he was going to accept such bonds only as were approved by the U. 8. Marshals.

Mr. Liacey did not say that he forgot that Judge Billings appointed appraisers for something; that they were appointed to put a valuation npon the property 'in dispute, and that the Commissioner was authorized to bond upon the appraisers' report. He ignores Jadge Billings's appointments so far and the authority vested in his appointees, and presumes to strike out a new course for himself. The majority of these millmen are able to get Dona in this city more than enough to qualify a man for a U. 8.

District Attorneyship. "Setting these good parts abide," The Present Condition of the people in Calcasieu must be con-sidered. They are reduced to the utmost extremity of want. Their chief, and in fact, sole industry has been stopped, and in the stoppage more of personal motives than of governmental ones have been the motives used. Those who survive live upon turtle and crawfish, never see a loaf of bread, but live in the hope that they may soon encounter one.

The condition of the people is pitiable. Fre quently men who obtained their necessaries at certain grocery stores, when mills were in operation, call at these same places for credit, but being refused by importunity, lay themselves and their little families on the doorsteps and declare that they are going to die there. This simple illustration serves to show the wretched condition to which the people are reduced, and the magnanimity of the Times in favoring the persecution. The conduct of the Deputy United States Marshals is most oppressive, and leaves little hops for relief. Everjtime a raft of logs comes floating down these fello ws ponces upon it, and without knowing whence it came, seize ic in tne case of the Selzare af tbe Alert, bronght before Judge Chamberlain, the loJowing decree of the court will serve as a fair sample of how the people are crushed and how an honest United Slates officer revolts against it I The evidence in this case discloses the following facts On the morning of the 12th day of July, 1877.

the Bteam tag Alert, in charge of the accused, Win. Home, was descending the Calcasieu River, having in tow a raft of logs. When near Gooseport, in the parish of. Calcasieu, the depnty marshal, John J. Gainey, according to his own testimony, without knowing whose logs the Alert had in tow, and without stopping to inquire, went on board the tag, and attempted to take forcible possession of her.

Indeed, accompanied bv his nriza crew, he proceeds to assign his men to their respective stations. He is met by the captain, who demands his authority for his proceedings, as he, the captain, had an undoubted right to do. Instead of complying with this very reasonable request, the marshal violently assaults, and. with a drawn weapon, jerks and poshes the accused, in a manner which looks to me as though intended to pro- uo a uuuixicb me witness uamey himself stating that he told the accused lie would make him resist, or give up tbe boat. i Article 4 of the amendments of 1791 to the constitution of the United States; (mar an tee to the citizen immunity from unwarrantable searches and seizures, and declares, in the most emphatio language that these rights of the people shall not be violated.

I In refusing to amend his affidavit, and say what process the marshal was in the act of executing at the time of meeting with tbe alleged resistance, the depnty marshal and the counsel for the Government closed the door to the introduction of any proof going to show that the marshal was in the act of serving any process whatever: a fatal defeot. for, without process, a marshal is but a private citizen. It is hta process of court which gives sanctity to nis person. In resisting this illegal and unwarrantable seizure of his boat the prisoner in this instance was bat discharging the duty imposed upon aim by his obligation to his employers and I canaot but commend in the warmest terms the moderation, dignity and maniinena of his conduct as tomDued with the violent and ruffianly proceeding on the part of the marshal. I cannot conceive now his su periors will be able to jaatifythe marshal's conduct when called upon torfko-connt therefor in a tribunal renowned alike for its love of justice and its knowledge of the law.

For these and kindred reasons let the prisoner be discharged. i Forwent of space we must defer till next week comment on some startling facts, developed under oath, on the examination of this case. An idea of the position of the Times may be gleamed from the following letter, published in the Lake Charles Echo, of the 19th insfc, by Om tka Appraisers To tbe Editor of the New Orleans Times With every dsaire to perform the du ties entrostea to me as cue of the ap praisers, without interfering with that which properly belongs to others, and to avoid an unfair prejudgment of what is called the Calcasieu log war, I have refrained from expressing any opinion at this time on tbe merits of the case. As an imputation, however, seems to be cast npon the appraiser- in th eles published by you, I deem it my duty to put tne pnblio in possession of the entire, facte connected with this matter, and shall do so on my return to Mew Orleans, after the completion of ray labors in this parish. In the meantime permit me to state that the article on Calcasieu affairs, which appeared ia your journal of the 11th insU, headed The Calcasieu Layout." is so gross a misrepresentation of the facts that I am compelled to believe, that, though published as an editorial.

It-is nothing more than a communication from some evil disposed person, dishonestly engaged in the nefarious pursuit of-4nnnholv purpose. I cannot understand what can have induced a paper of your presumed respectability to publish such idle and unfounded statements. Between now and the time that a full disclosure of all the facts connected with this matter shall appear, suffice it.to say, that the statement mane Dy your mendaoions informant, who Is evidently too cowardly to affix his signature thereto, and published under oo editorial a tissue pf unmitigated aad malicious falsehood from beginning to end. I have the honor, Mr. Editor, to subscribe myself always at command.
