JUDICIAL FRAsksEss.-An exchange says
that q Texas Judge was recently called upon
to pass sentence in = capital case. After
dwelling on the enormity of the offense, the
solemnity of the prisoners position and kin>
dred topics, he concluded his address a. fol-
lows:
"The fact is, Jones, that the Court did not
intend to order you to be executed before
next spring, but the weather is very cold, and
our jail, unfortunately, is in a very bad cons
dition, part of the glass in the windows is
broken, the chimneys are in such dilspidat.
ed state that no fire can be made TO render
your apartments comfortable; besides, owing
to the great number Of prisoners, net more
than one blanket can be allowed to each; TO
sleep sound and comfortable, therefore, is out
of the question. In consideration of these
circumstances, and wishing to lessen your
sutferings as much as possible. the Court, in
the exercise of its humane compassion, here
by orders you 10 be executed tomorrow
morning, as soon after breakfast as may be
convenient to the Sheriff and agreeable tc
tyou."

SUFFERING on THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
Mr.. Jewell, editor of the New Orleans
Commercial Bulletin passed through our
city yesterday on his way to New York,
on mission to secure aid and relief for
the suffering people of Louisiana. The
present overflow has been extremely dis
astrous-many of the planters being left
destitute of stock, and provisions to feed
the freedmen employed by them For
the past two years these people have
strained their credit to enable them to
restore the old production of their fertile
fields Their crops have failed, and now
their stores have been swept away by the
foods. They do not despair, but they
want help-food for the people in their
employ until they can, by their industry
and energy, evoke from their munifcent
soil the means to repuy.

been broken. On the contrary, they are
ready to come forth, and, as far as per-
mittcd, signalize their devotion to liberty
and the Union at the ballot-box.

Printing, against printing additional copies
of the report Of the Commissioner of Agri-

those heretofore ordered be furnished that
officer, to meet the demands upon him.
Mr.. Chandler said the Senate had been
remarkably liberal toward nominees. As
an instance how they expressed their graf
itude, he caused TO be read newspaper ar
ticle, in substance that a complimentary
serenade was, on Thursday night, rendered
to q. w. Frazier, recently confirmed as
assessor Of internal revenue for the first
district of Pennsylvania. This gentleman,
in acknowledging the honor, is reported to
have said that some of the Radicals had in
yited him to return to the fold, which he
declined. He did not feel under any obli-
cations TO the Senate, for he was appointed
to fill a vacancy. Politically he was still
Conservative, and in favor of johnson,
Grant and the Supreme Court, in contra
distinction to Sumner, Stevens and Butler.
He was against the Radical element tram
ping the constitution under foot, the
injury of the currency, etc.
Mr.. Sumner did not, as was expected,
call up his resolution for the expulsion of
Mr. Salisbury.

THE RADICAL COURT DRESS.

Since the Radicals have got into
power, and since the representatives of
despOtic America have come into contact
with the representatives of despotic
Europe, at the several courts of the old
world, they have aped the court-dress
fashions of despotism until it has dis
gusted the American people to such
degree that the Congress has interfered
and decided that ii reserves the right to
prescribe the embassadorial uniform.
The Radical hypocrisy has done abroad
like it has done at home-put on coat
of many colors,' playing the yirtuous
role of Joseph while it is depressing at
home, and harloting with the oppressors
Of foreign peoples. The Radical pleni-
pOtentiary abroad glitters all over in gall
vanized brass spangles, and gives the
most satisfactory evidences that there is
no ground to fear the ultimate influence
of American institutions on the stability
of the monarchies of the old world
Heretofore an American citizen, in an
American gentleman's dress, was all that
was required to secure the respect of
foreign nations towards our people and
country. Under Radical rule we have
ministers perked in the costume Of an
Eastern mOnarehieal plenipotent, with a
sword dangling between his legs, pros
trating his person in the presence of
anointed royalty, and going through all
the forms of that royalty which is hedged
in by rights divine. Congress " sees j"
and moves a reform to conciliate the peO-
pie; and Greeley adopts the expressive
Of Burton, the immortal
comedian, when playing the mummy,
and, getting out of the sarcophagus,
stalks to the foot-lights, saying "PlI be
damned if am not ashamed of myself I"

FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

From the Lebanon Herald. 9Th instant.
The time is rapidly approaching when
it will be necessary for the Conservative
party in the Fifth Congressional District
20 nominate a candidate to represent the
district in the fortieth Congress. As to
who will be the candidate we will not ven
tuIe an opinion, but if the unanimous voice
of the people of Wilson, and We believe Of
every other county in the district is TO be
heard, we do not hesitate to say that our
late Representative, Gov. w. B. Campbell.
will be the Conservative standaId-bearer.
Although Gov. Campbell has declined to
be candidate in very emphatic language
and has signifed his intention to retire 10
private life, yet We connot believe that in
the present emergency, be will deprive the
country Of his valuable services, especially
when the fact is becoming more apparent
every day, that these services are abso-
lutely necessary for the public good
The Radicals in this district have brought
out their strongest man-John Trimble-
and it is the plain duty of the Conserva-
hves 20 nominate for the important offices |
none but its best, ablest and most popular |
men, and the men who will exert the great |
est influence in shaping our national affairs. |
That Governor Campbell is our best, ablest
and strongest man in this emergency, no /
sne will deny, and We repeat that his ser
vices should not be lost 10 US at this time
