LOUISIANA In THE SENATE-The approach
ing election Of two United States Senators
from Louisiana, has long been an engrossing
topic IN that State, and is beginning 10 attract
attention outside its limits. The contest, on
the Republican side, seems to be between A. -
Mansfield, Thomas J. Durant, f. j. HERON,
and W. p. kellogg, with the chances largely in
in favor of the latter.
Dir. Mansfield, who is reported to be very
wealthy, was engaged in cotton and other
speculations during and since the war, and
was regarded as formidable competitor, by
reason OF his great wealth and shrewd man.
agement, but he is now under a cloud on ac-
count Of his arrest by an insurance company
for having procured the destruction of vessel
al sea- Mr.. Durant has been a resident and
practIcing attorney of this city for the past two
years, and is objected 10 on that account, al
though IL Is conceded that he would be an able
and fair representative. Heron and kellogg
both have good war record, and are men of
fair ability, adapted rather for strategy and
light diminishing than tor heavy work The
former is now United States Marshal and the
latter Collector OF Customs at New Orleans.
Two or three other aspiring gentlemen-no-
t1bly Gen. Mcmillan, formerly of Ohio: Gen.
A. L. Lee, formerly of Kansas, and Hon. John
Ray-are also in the field, but they are not con-
sidered strong.
The Legislature is so decidedly one way that
the Democrats do not propose any candidates
with hope of success. Nevertheless, for the
purpose of keeping up the organization and 10
afford a rallying point Hon. Randall Hunt
andJudge BOyce are IN the field. They will
b. remembered as the gentlemen who were
elected in fs65, but not admitted.

LAY DIFFERENTIATION.

Two important questions were adjusted by
the General Conference of the Methodist Epis-
CopsI Church, in session for several weeks at
Chicago. The Mission Conferenc es ~ organ
lied since 1860 in Confederate and disputed
territory, were received into full communion
and fellowship in the Church, and the ad vo-
Gates Of lay delegation secured the adoption of
8 report which gives the members of the
Denomination an opportunity to vote pro or
con on the question OF having lay delegates
sent to the General Conferences from the An
nual Conferences. This matter Of lay delegl-
ton has long been a bone of contention IN
the Methodist body. As early as 1924,
II was agtated, and resulted in a
meeting Of those favoring il IN Baltimore
IN 1871, and The preparation of q memorial
which asserted the right of representation to
the General Conference of 1S5S. That Confer
enCe, however, denied the right, and clai med
for the ministry the same absolute power in
matters of church polity as had previously
been exercised. A schism was the result, and
the Methodist Protestant Church was organ
lied, having its main strength in the Border
States. Though this withdrawal Quoted dis
6ussion for some time, there was yet a strong
feeling In favor Of lay delegation, and it again
asserted itself in the General Conference hell
at Buffalo in 1850.
The Chicago General Conference took Holt
OF the matter and appointed a committee to
prepare a report This report provides that
the ann ual conferences shall each be entitled to
send two laymen from their boundaries to par
ticipate IN the proceedings of the General Con-
ference. The members of the church can vote
upon the question, and the result being made
known by the Bishops at the next General
Conference, that body can then decide whether
or not to admit the delegates. A motion to
strike out the word "male'' from the resolu-
ton, specifying the qualifications of voters,
was carried by large majority, 50 thai the
female members of the church are permitted TO
Vote on the question. As amended, the report
wac adopted by a vote of 23i to 3. Though this
report does not by any means grant all the
friends of the lay delegation ask for, they be-
heye that it will go far toward bringing about
a reunion between the parent Church and the
Methodist Protestant ofishoot

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN ENGLAND.-Some
friends of female suffrage waited on the Board
Of Oyerseers for Manchester recently, 70 ask
them TO place on the register all women who
had paid their rates as directed by the Reform
act of last year. II was stated that 1000 wo
men in Manchester alone woHld, if that were
done, he enabled TO vote. Miss Lydia Becker
made speech, but the legal arguments by
which the application was justified were left
TO DIR. Psrkhurst THIS gentleman having oh
served that women fSOerly voted for rnem-
beTs of Parliament, and that the disuse of their
night had not inyalidated il, went on TO con.
tend that under the new Reform act, women
Were entitled 70 be put on the register. and IN
vote He contended that the word ..man- a.
used III law included swoman" also, and he
cited Lord ROmilly's act, by which il was en-
acted that, sin all acts, words importing the
masculine gender shall be deemed and taken 10
include females, unless the contrary as 10 gen.
der II expressly provided" The Chairman
SAID the Board would take time to consider the
arguments that had been advanced.

FIXING THE PRICE OF A BRIDE IN INDIA.-The
Indian DAILY Nesos gives an account of social
reform which has just been effected. 1t has
hitherto been custom among the Coles (Sing
.bhom) to sell daughters to bridegrooms-an
institution peculiar to the race. The prices
asked were so exorbitant (forty and fifty head
of cattle being common) as to cause for some
years past falling off in the number of mar
riages and an increased immoral intimacy
between the two sexes. Every district officer
who has taken any interest in the Coles has
endeavoTed to advise them to alter their GUS
tom OH this point, but unfortunately without
success. Colonel Dalton, commissioner of
Chota NagpOre, now reports that the people
have at last yielded their preiudices in regard
to it. The evils resulting from the exorbitant
demands for Cole ladies have been recently
very frequent, and in taking the opinion Of
the most intelligent of the Coles as to devising
remedy, it was discovered that they them
selves were prepared for change, bat that no
person would take the initiative. The COM
missioner, however, convened a punchayet,
and it was resolved by all the mankis and
leading men that the BRIDES pun or price in
future was not TO exceed ten head of cattle
this also was nominal, as the ten head will in
clude pair of oxen, COW and seven rupees,
and for the poor only seven rupees, without
any cattle. The change is very remarkable
event in the history OF the Coles.

ABYssINIAN TREASURES AND TRoPHIEs.-The
stolen treasures and trophies of the Tower of
London will receive considerable addition
from the Abyssinian spoils. Among Theo.
dore's Jewels are two crowns, one for State and
the other for ordinary purposes. The State
crown is of gold, rising to height of about
eighteen inches in three tiers; it is inlaid
either with precious stones or admirable imi-
tatiOns. The work is very fine, and the weight
such as only the head OF powerful man
could bear. The common crown is of dark
silk velvet, and was, no doubt, at one time
very fine, but age has dimmed its brightness.
The robes are gorgeous, the state robe being
made OF gold tinsel, worked in floss, and lined
with rich brown satin. The pattern is very
ohaste, and the workmanship can scarcely bs
excelled in any civilized country. The second
robe is one which Theodore expressly offered
to be made for her Majesty Queen Victoria,
but "unavoidable circumstances" intervening,
the black monarch kept it himself for some
time and finally gave it to one OF the German
artisans at Msgdala, who gave it up to Sir
Robert Napier. The materials of this robe are
not 20 rich, nor are the ornaments as chaste
and valuable as those of the State robe, but
the fligree work OF Indian pattern sexquisitely
done. The seal Of the king is one of an Ordi-
nary character, and bears the name OF Theo-
dore. 1t is supposed to have been made In
London. There are also the royal clippers OF
