The Protest.-Ten of the Senators who voted
against the admission of California, are in high
dudgeon because they were not permitted to spread

each member were to exercise this right of enter.

record of actions, not of arguments. As early as
1883, the matter was debated in the Senate, and
the right refused. The House of Lords is the only
deliberatve assembly where such right is tole-
rated. We observe that member in the Texas
Senate has entered his protest against the resolution

on this practice of protest.

Southern Press in NeD Orledns.-The Memphis
papers will have it that the Press of Louisiana
does not represent the feelings and opinions of the
State. Well, gentlemen, if you have any more
money TO expend in fancy stock, come down here
and establish Press which will represent the
enslaved and oppressed people. But don't think
of starring with $40, OOO-that sum may do for a
lberatlng expedition, when turned into 100000 of
sock-but it will not begin to do for the establish.
ment of a Southern Press in this city. The great
man you want to make President, must paw up at
least $4,000, in par funds, to manufacture public
opinion here. paper devoted to a section, rather
than to the Union, will find no favor nor support in
NewOreans.

| The iSsletrk CaraUQn--Mr. Ross trader from
the Sekrk settlement, 600 miles north of ST. Paul
whose teams helped to compose the train that has
recently arrived from the Red River of the North,
called on us last week and gave the following de-

He is native OF the Columbia river country, a
half-breed, and man of vigorous frame, good in.
tellect, fair education, and gentemanly address.
He and his companions have come all the way to
Sank Rapids, 100 miles above ST. Paul, with 176
carts.
The carts are most of them drawn by single

The Akeck Scot. - We are indebted to the
splendid steamer Aleck Scott, for late st. Louis
papers. Speaking of the Aleck Scott it gives us
pleasure to copy the following from the st. Louis
Republican of the goth:
Few boats have done better business than
this lavorite craft. Between the 2lst of March,
1913, and the 9Th of June, 1880, period of two
years two months and nineteen days, she has made
htrty-siG trips down to- and the same number of
trips up from New Orleans. In her thirty six
trips down she carried down 40044 tons freight
and brought up 16,S75f tons, making a total oil
their baggage, etc., etc. The average Of her s2
treghts on her down trips is fraction over 944
tons, and her up trips fraction over 46S tons.
These facts show the immense business done by
some OF the large class of the New Orleans boats"

waves running high, and their situation becoming
critical, they made an effort to return Il was too
late. After making every exertion in their power
for an hour, they were finally driven among the
breakers, where the hand of man could not save
them from watery grave. Parties were out OIL
