DEATH OF THE Presidents NErurw--Thc
Washington Union says:
The President received yesterday, by telc.
graph, the melancholy intelligence ofthc death
OF his nephew, Colonel Elliot Eskrdgc Lane, of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. lie died at his resi-.
dencc in Lancaster, yesterday morning in the
prime of early manhood, about 32 years of age
lie was unmarried. Col. Lane was native
OF Mercersburg in that State, but has resided
IN Lancaster for the last ton years, where he
has won universal esteem and respect by his
amiablc disposition and his generous and manly
qualities. His death was very sudden, for al
though he had been i'll for day or two, with
inflammation of the bowels, his condition was not
thought to be dangerous until few hours be.
fore nc died. OF course this sad intelligence
interrupted al official business yesterday at the
Executive mansion; and the President and his
family, we arc sure, will have the warm sym.
pathy of the country in the loss, which has
thus suddenly befallcn them, Of near and dear
relative

We copy the following from the Central
organ, published at Nlarksvilc, in the parish
Of Avoyccs:
Pursuant to announcement, on Saturday last
us instant meeting Of the subscribers of stock
to the Louisiana Central Stem Of the Great
Pacific Railroad assembled at Evergreen, in
our parish, for the purpose of electing II Board
OF Directors, q Treasurer and Secretary, with
the view of pushing forward this important
work. Through the exertions of Hon. Henry
Boycc, the originator of this projected road
nor than one hundred thousand dollars have
already been subscribed by less than thirty in
dviduals; and when it was made known that
this railway will run from the banks of the
Mississippi, near the mouth of Red river,
through the most productive and central por-
ton Of Louisiana, including the fertile lands of
Avoycllcs & Rapides, and will connect with the
Great Southern Pacific road, already begun
from the border of our State West Of Shrcve-
port, and destined, at no distant day, to
reach the golden shores of California, it is
not eXtrayagant to hope and expect that our
intelligent and worthy citizens will without
persuasion awaken to the vital Importance Of
immediate action and chccrfuly subscribe every
cent they are able to invest, to secure the rapid
construction ola road which affects so materially
their own pecuniary interests.

The New GRENADTAN DIFrIcuTY-The diff
Guilty with the New Grenadian Government,
growing ont the violence and murder at Pana-
ma OF Il number of American travellers on their
way to California, does not appear to advance
TO settlement. The American envoy had
proposed to the Grcnadian Government to
form two neutral districts of the territory OH
the nter.occanc transit, or the railroad across
the lsthmuS. In these the right Of trial by
jury and religious liberty to be guaranteed and
the right Of suffrage based upon property quail
illcation. The governments Of these districts
TO be subjected to New Grenada, but to have
power to aid the railroad company to travel,
aud in the event Of not doing 50 the United
state consls TO have the power TO raise bodies
of police and levy taxes on the railroad compa-
ny and passengers for the support Of the police
force. In ease Of necessity the United States
troops to occupy the two Districts several
Islands in the vicinity Of Panama to be coded
TO the United States for arscnalS and naval
stations. In consideration of these privileges
and grants the United States to give sum Of
money from which Is to be deducted the dam
a@eS incurred by the attack above alluded to.
These propositions are not fayorably rccciy-
ed. a report is current that they have been
peremptorily rejected There may be some
thing in them that is offensive to the national
pride or interests Of the Grcnadian Govern
ment, yet it seems essential to the peace Of the
two counties that some such arrangement
shall prevail, at least so long rs the ISthmus
shall continue to be the common pathway to
California. The United States Government
cannot permit its citizens to be slaughtered for
want Of protection, while they are travelling to
and from our own territories. If the Grcna-
dian Government cannot give that protection
the United States Government must, Anoth-
er such event as occurred at Panama, to which
it Els continually liable from lax government,
would obligc the United States to take and
hold forcible possession of the transit route.
Possibly the proposition would not be obec-
tionable if there were q limitation in time to the
privileges asked. Other routes to the Pacific
will doubtless be established before many years.
The government Of the United States would
then not;necd its consuls to have such prigilcges
as asked for, and which exceed even those Of
the legislative or municipal officers; nor would
it require the possession in sovereign right of
the islands in the vicinity Of Panama. Evil
IDENTIFY the Grcnadans do not wish Americans
to get foot hold upon their territories, whether
ostcnsiby to protect travel, or really to advance
the interest of railroad company, and the
proposition may be better received if Invested
ofany appearance of such a desire.--PhI. Ledger.

Tie JUDICIAL ELECTIONS IN NEW ORLEANS
The election for Judges of the Six District
Courts Of this city, and for IN Associate JUS
ticc Of The Supreme Court, was one of the
funniest affairs Of the kind that has taken
place for some time past. AS our readers are
aware, there were no nominations made by the
Democratic party, If there be such n thing as
q Democratic party in this city The Know.
Nothing party had ticket in the fed, Of all
the Courts, which ticket was elected, as will be
seen by the returns below. Judge Kennedy
for the Third Judge Reynolds for the Fourth,
Judge Augnstn for the Fifth, and Col. Dun
lap for the Sixth Court, are we believe, Dem
ocrats, and ran on their own hook. Besides
these Col Field and Judge Bawle both Know
Nothings, ran rs ndepcndent-Ficld for the
First and Bawc for the Sixth Courts. There
were, too, other asprants, making quite an in
tercsting tumble Of the whole affair
The people seemed to take no interest in the
matter, for out Of l2,OlG registered votes in
the city, but 4l2l were polcd showing that
1895 voters did nol approach the polls!
We are gratlied in being able to state that
every thing passed of, yesterday, in compare
tive quiet. We heard of no killings and of but
few cases Of tilugging Among the latter vie
tins we heard Of the names Of Col. w. A. HI
more, Mr.. Augustine Col Bob Woodbridge,
and Col Frazer, Of the legal firm of Mott &
Frazer " u, IrHc Dekta.
