JUDICIAL ELECTIONS IN LoUIsIANA.--Hon. ThOs
j. Cooley, (the present incumbent) is the candidate
for Judge in the Ninth Judicial District, and Hon
Edgar D. Farrar, (also, we believe, the present III
cumbent) is n candidate for the Office in the
Tenth District of Louisiana The former is composed
of Carroll, Madison and Tensas parishes: the latter
OF Concordia and Pointe Coupce. Judge Cooley has
won golden opinions, both as a man and as a judge
during his term in office. Partsansllp may attempt
to defeat his reelection but we have yet to be per
sladed that the of his district will consent that
that attempt should be successful. His learning
urbanity and high character, acknowledged by all
and 1--WE should suppose his election would be un
doubted. [Natchez, Courier, 26th
True-as regards Judge Cooley-every word of it
We cannot think shis defeat possible contingency
Able, upright, faithful and true to his duties Judge
Cooley has proven himsefa judge the people of his
district would be untrue to themselves if they did not
keep on the bench as long as possible.

THE NILE ExrEDITIoN.-The expedition to the
sources of the NileI under the command of Count
Escayrac de Lautures, has not, recently report
ed, been abandoned The reports Of dssensions
among the expeditionst and the Incompetence of the
leader have been traced to certain American savans
who having been thwarted in their purpose Of con-
trolling the expedition, and failing in their efforts to
prejudice their companions against their leader left
the expedition and returned home. In letter to the
Leipzger Zeitung, dated Cairo, January Goth, Count
Escayac states that the vessels Of the expedition had
during the month of December, passed all the catar
acts of the Nile in safety On the 18th of October
detachment set out under command of the British
naval officer Twylord. 1t consisted of two steamers
and eight barques, and was accompanied by escort
of Turkish military. The passage of the cataract of
WadHalfa was comparatively easy but the assistance
OF four thousand men was necessary in ascending the
second, and the passage of the third was finally
complished on the 18th Of December. The vessels
having all received slight injuries they are undergo
ing repairs at Dongola, from which place the entire
expedition to start early in tile ensuing summer.
Beyond this point further difficulties in the navi
CATION of the Nile are anticipated The enterprise is
receiving vigorous aid from the Viceroy of Egypt.

DEATH IN A GREEN RooM.-On Saturday evening,
ever seen in America enjoying the splendid per-
fornance of Linda di Chamouni, in the Philadelphia
Academy of Music, there was scene of startling
contrast behind the curtain. 4 very worthy member
of the female chorus, whose services from her long
experience, very valuable, died suddenly in the
Green Room, just the opera was about to begin of
disease of the heart 1t was a shocking and solemn
incident and created great deal Of agitation among
the performers, especially among the chorsters who
had long been associated with her and accustomed
to follow her in the performances.
1t was some time before the singers could recover
their composre sufficiently to enable them to go on.
But the vast audience before the curtain knew moth
ing of the sad tragedy that had occurred and it
not deemed advisable to inform them of it. There
was delay of ten or fifteen minutes in the COM
mencement of the performance, but then the curtain
rose, and the Swiss villagers appeared, smiling and
gay in their rustic costume [Phil Eve. Bulletin 23d.

A POLITICAL PREACHER DENoUNCED.-The New
York Observer presbyterian Old schoo) notes Rev
Dr. Cheever's Sunday nullificaton discourse about
the bred Scott decision and says:
This preacher has taken more atrocious and trea
sonnble ground than the most radical newspapers of
the day. Whether we regard the decision of the
Supreme Court as sound or not, we should be re-
creant to the planes principle of the New Testament
should be false to the government of God and the
civil government under which we live, if did not
express unminged adherence of the doctrine of
resistance in this discourse 1t is disgrace to the
city and nation it disgrace to the pulpit and to tie
religion of Christ, that protesting the spirit of
the gospel should thus prostitute the sacred DESK the
ministerial character and the house of God.

Our RELATIONS WITH PARAGUAY.-Satisfaction
Demanded.-The Nocional Argentine Of Parana,
contains an official correspondence between Mr. Marcy
and Sr. Vasquez, Secretary of State of Paraguay
also between Col. Fitzpatrick, American special
agent and Sr. Vasquez in reference to the treaty be-
tween the United States and Paraguay. 1t appears
that the United States Senate made some thirtytwo
tr1ing corrections. In the original treaty, by the
carelessness of Mr. Pendleton Republic styled
The United States of North America, title which
| our government has never used. The title " North
American Union" is also interlarded in the treaty
| and of course could not be allowed by the United
States. Col. Fitzpatrick explained to sr. Vasquez
that the title The United States of America was
the OILY constitutional name of this republic, and no
other could be used in official documents but the
stupid Paraguayan despot chose to have his own way
Sr. Vasquez, in letter to Mr. Fitzpatrick, demands
| in very peremptory tone, to know if the United
States intends to render satisfaction to Paraguay for
the scandaous hostlities of the commanders OF the
| Water WITCH United States vessel-ofwar" and also
when our government desires to carry out the reca-
nation announced by Mr.. E. A. Hopkins, late Ameri
can Consul, against Paraguay. In conclusion Vas
quez says:
In all these transactions the government of the re-
public has been grievously offended and satisfaction
should be made to it, instead of recamations Of mil
lions of dollars with which Hopkins has endeavored
| to intimidate the government Of the republic.'
The treaty was of course refused assent because Of
the grievances alluded to by Fasguez

OFFICIAL ASSISTANCE TO FLEEING DEBTOR.
From the New York Times, Of the 2lst, We copy the
following paragraph:
Quite an excitement was created upon the steamer
George Law just previous to her departure for Aspn-
wall yesterday. 1t having been whispered that a
member of a certain South American house in this
city, well known in Wallstreet circles, which recently
become insoyent, intending to take French leave
of his creditors, enteprsng creditor resoAed that
if he could help it he would Just before the sailing
of the steamer accompanied by deputy sheriff and
lawyer he encounters the departing gentleman on the
wharf and attempted to arrest him, when it was
found that he (the departing gentleman) was duly
accredited as bearer of dispatches to foreign Gov
ernment-so no arrest could be made.

THE AMPHITHEATER.-Ih Nuiad Queen.--The
length of time that the Naiad Queen" has been per-
formed at the Amphitheater causes it to pass off
elibly now, or in much less time than at first. The
consequence IS, that the piece is finished early
to give the Marsh Children the opportunity of appear
ing in one Of their uproarious frces afterwards. The
great fairy spectacle is abundanty sufficient to fill the
house nightly, it has done up to this time but the
farce will be added hereafter, it being the policy Of
Messrs Spaldng Rogers to give as good measure of
