One DAY LATER FROM CANTON. The ship
Lowell, Capt. Redmond, which arrived at New
York on Saturday, brings intelligence from Can
ton TO the 2lst of May, which is one day later
than that brought by the bark Florida.
We learn says the Journal Of Commerce, from
Capt r. that on quitting the Canton river he met
the British squadron from Calcura, with reinforce
ments, standing in. This squadron, it will he re-
collected, is under the command OF Admiral Sin
James Gordon Bremmer, and has on board Col
Pottnger, the new British envoy.
On the day Capt. II. sailed, he was informed
that the British residents at Canton had received
orders to quit the factory there.
Canton appeared from the British factory to be
nearly deserted. A Chinese soldier occasionally
was seen without arms, apparently observing the
motions OF the foreigners. The large encamp-
ment Of Chinese troops without the walls remain
ed in the same state, and it was thought that
should the British not drive them away, they would
prove very troublesome to the people of Canton.
Some difficulty had occurred in regard to secu'
ring one or more of the American vessels at CAM
ton, but the precise particulars we have no, been
able 10 ascertain. aI hn5I hr.a. -

vERMo FAR FROM LoCoFoColsM

The locos in Vermont and elsewhere, who have
glored more or less in the hope that old Vermont
the political star which never sets-was about
10 plunge into locofocosm, must feel their ardoi
essentially cooled by an inspection of the oTiciu
canvass of votes for State officers. MIR. Smile
has 2l,3O2 votes, being about thousand less than
he received in 1889, and 1893 less than Mr.. Dr.
iingham received last year Including the votes
rejected, the difference would be less by about
AGO. Again: Taking the Governor vote as test
the majority against Mr.. Smile is 5,33s; on It.
Governor, the majority against the locos is 5,3l2
and on Treasurer 5,337. We have but One infer.
ence to make it is that the wings of Vermont

| The late Duel in Louisiana-'The duel in Lou
isiana, between Judge BIG. Tenney, and Mr..
| Rowley, which terminated in the death of the
former, excites great deal of feeling throughout
The country. Tenney, writer in the Salem Ga
zelte says, was native Of Charlestown, Mass,
and Mr.. Rowley is said 10 have come from Troy
N. Y. The duel thus seems to have been be-
| tween Northern men, who gave themselves up to
a silly and wicked Southern custom, contrary,
il must have been, to their own educated sense of
right and wrong.
A New Orleans correspondent in the Salem
| Gazette, says:-
Judge Tenney graduated at Dartmouth College
in the same class with your talented Senator, Mr..
Choate. He came to this state in 1923 or "a,
and soon afterwards settled at VidaIia where he
for many years pructiced law with great success
For many years he represented the district in our
state Senate.
la the month Of October last on the decease
OF Judge Davis, he was elevated to the Bench.
which Office he filled with great credit, and to the
entire satisfaction Of nearly all the citizens of the
FDistrict
decision of his, rendered r June, gave UNI
bragg to one Rowley (as have stately in a suit
brought by his wife for separation OF property
and from bed aud board. Rowley was the de-
feated party and in order to crafty n feeling Of
revenge for what in fact was correct and con-
scientious decision, he sent challenge. The re-
suit you know.-Judge Tenney went 10 the
|
his best frerds for according TO the ruthless and
bloody rules OF the "code of honor he was NOT
bound to accept for the cause assigned, his cha
racter and the opinion of the public would have

ter impualion.
Report says they were placed at sixty (6O) pa

a large boTie knife; at the word they we've 10 ad--

fie failing in effect, resort to be had to the
pisols-both falling, the bo,oie knives were to he

killed on the spot.
Rowley advanced several PAGES toward the
Judge, took deliberate aim, his first fire the ball
entered The Judges rifle side Immediately below
the nipple and passed through his body he fell,
and merely said to S. S. Prentiss 81 am dying,
good bye" The Judges rifle not raised nor

termination to island shot" believing that il it

THE NEW APPORTIONMENr.

At the next session of Congress one Of the
most interesting questions as well as one OF
the mast difficult must be decided, and that
is what shall be the ratio Of repres enintion
under the cei sus Of le40l Various ratios
from $4,000 to 10000 have been proposed,
but the more general opinion is ,hat GO OCO or
somewhat thereabouts will he tho ratio adept
ed. by this the whole number Of represent
alton would be 25i nine more than o, pres
ent. The States Of New Hampshire, Con.
necticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maryland
and Tennessee, under their ratios, would
each lose one member; South Carolina and
Kentucky, each two; North Carolina three
and Virginia four. The following States
would gain-Ohio six; Icdiana seven; Illinois
four; Michigan two; Mississippi two; Alaba-
ina three; Louisiana one and Missouri four.
The following States, nt this ratio, will have
left fractions of over $4,000: Vermont, North
Carolna, Illinois aud Mississippi. The
small Suites will oppose a high ratio, and
will 90 for the lowest they can get tha, win
leave them the smallest traction uDrepreseht-
ed. The following table shows the present
representation of the several sections OF the
Union. and what it would be under O ratio Of
81, 900 aud G0000.
