ksg. What has become of the ''Weekly
Comet" friend George? We have not seen a
number since your first ISSUE Has it, In Its
erratic wanderings, lost its course? or has II
gone in search Of the great comet that is to
make its appearance in 49,.
RETURNED. Friend Thuer, who has been
spending several weeks at the Hot Springs II
Arkansas, returned on Monday looking much
better than when he left us. Our thanks are
due him for specimens Of geological and mnera
productions Of that part of the country. The
society at and about the Springs, in our friend
estimation, does not come up to his standard O
refinement. The only requisite for responsibility
is to be fashionable sporting gentleman. NJ
other class ranciva half the attention bestowed
upon these individuals:
by The Hon. Louis Botdclon, the presen
e.,
nounced as candidate for reelection in No
vember next. Mr.. B. has thrice been elected
to that office, and as he has well and faithful.
discharged his duties as public officer, W.
cannot conceive any just cause Why the peorl
should not again elect him. We place his nam
at the head of our columns as our first choic'
for the Authorship.
re- We observe through our democTat
exchanges that the Hon. J. N. carrigan, tn
present State Superintendent Of Public Educa
ton, will be candidate fer reelection at TIN
approaching November election. If the wing
have no show for eiccting their candidate, Their
are none in the democratic ranks who we woul'
prefer to our friend the Judge G. Z. Grenaux
present State Treasurer, is also candidate befor
the democratic nominating convention for tn
Office which he now occupies The Judge is
clever gentlemen and a competent officer.
Rag We are panied to learn through our OK
changes that Jso. E, LAYET, late Chief Clerk
the Louisiana House of Representatives, die
at Baden Springs, Ala, in the early part Of tn
present month. Mr.. Layet was much esteeme
for his many private virtues and amenity {
manners; and was considered by all to hay
been one Of the most competent officers tina
ever occupied the important trust of chief cler
Of deliberative assembly. He leaves VIII
aud several interesting children to lament hi
loss.
