District Electors
ALTERNATEs
A MERE IRIFLE.

The lower house yesterday indulged itself
in one of those little harmless whims, of
which it has lately had so many. 1t appears
that in the election of last April, Mr. Borge,
Democratic candidate for the House from the
eighth district. parish of Orleans, was elected
by majority of something over three hun
dred His election was, however, contested
by man called Maurice, a Radical, who as
serted that MIR. Borge was ineligible. The
House elections committee yesterday reported
on the case, stating that Mr. Borgs was ineli-
gible, he having registered himself an enemy
to the United States, and not having recanted
prior to his election, and recommending a
new election. Two members of the commit
tee, however, differed from this opinion, and
asked that, as the men who had voted for Mr.
Borge knew he was ineligible and only so
voted to obstruct the practical working of
the Constitution, their ballots be set aside.
and that the man who had been beaten by
three hundred votes, but who had the saving
virtue of being a Radical should be admit
ted. With alacrity the Republicans fastened
to the adoption of this suggestion, to propa-
gate their great principle that it is high
crime to vote for any but Radicals, and de-
cided that Mr.. Borge should stand aside and
Maurice take his place
This, however is but triAing exhibition
Of the animus of the God and morality party.
and as such is but ripple on the political
sea. Still it may be interesting to our Nor
thern friends to know how these things are
done down here, and we commend this to
them as an insignificant example of the naodus
operdndi Of Radical domination. It is but
just to say'that some of the Rads-McMillan
for one-opposed this infamous transaction,
but their voices were utterly disregarded by
the bulk of their party. So it goes, but No
vember is coming.

The LATE JUDGE ROsT.

In an epoch when the Judiciary of Louisi-
ana was, for character and learning, unsur-
passed, almost unequaled, Pierre Adolph
Rost, who died at his residence in this city on
Sunday last, was one of its brightest orna-
ments. A native of France, and educated in
Paris, he came to Louisiana upwards of forty
years ago, and made his home in this
State up to the time of his death. Hav-
ing risen to a high position at the
bar, be married and became a planter
in ST. Charles parish where his scientific
culture and his systematic habits made him
as successful in agriculture as he had been in
the practice of law. He was appointed to the
supreme bench in 1s45, along with George
Eustis, Thomas Slidell and George r. King.
and continued in that position until the elee-
ton of new Judiciary under the Constitu-
ton of 1852. He then again retired, and was
enjoying an honored privacy when the State
adopted the ordinance of secession
IN 1861. He was soon after called
to represent the Confederate government as
one ofits diplomatic commissioners to Europe.
accredited especially to Spain. He remained
abroad until the close of the war. Returning
home, he found his valuable!properties mere
wreck; yet, old as he was, bordering on 20, he
addressed himself with characteristic energy
to the work OF preparing the waste and decay.
Judge Rost was gentleman of fine physique,
of courtly address, and, though somewhat re-
served, by no means destitute of genialitv:
which, added to rigorous honesty and punctiii-
GUS honor, rendered him worthy example of
the dncien regime of Louisiana.
