WHAT SENATOR HARLAN SAYS ABOUT
GENERAL GRANT.--Senator Harlan, of Iowa,
has written letter to q gentleman in Florida
In reply to certain inquiries respecting General
Grant and his administration. The Senator
says that, although some Of the acts Of the
administration do not meet the cordial
approval Of number of republicans-the
recall Of Mr.. Motley, for instance-yet, as o
whole, it meets the support Of the party.
The Senator might have spared himself the
trouble of gratifying the curiosity Of his
Florida correspondent; for no doubt the
dreams Of General Grant at his cool retreat
on Long Branch will not be disturbed OF the
present time about whatever politicians may
write or think about himself or his admins
tratiOn.

CANADIAN ANNExATIoN.-Our correspon-
dent in Ottawa, Canada, gives, in an important
communication which we publish to-day, an
account Of the progress which the idea Of
annexation to the United States is making
among our northern neighbors, according to
which 1t would seem that the agitation for com
plete separation of Canada from the British
empire is on the increase. Its annexation to
the United States would follow as logical
political consequence.

In CONSERVATIVE "OLD KENTUCK," where
they run up democratic majorities by the
hundred thousand, Sambo voted for the frst
time yesterday. Strong efforts have been
made to secure his aggregate vote for the
republicans, but the democratic papers of the
State have offered him a fair show on their
side, and 1t is likely that his vote will be
divided. In Louisville yesterday, although
every darkey polled his vote, the democracy
sarried the city and county, and it is very
probable that the unterrifed still hold their
lmpreguable position in the State.

French Immigration 10 tho Uaited Statcs.
1t is probable that statistics would
show greater French immigration to the
of skilled labor and mercantile experience than
to Algeria since the conclusion of our recent
civil war; In New York alone the number Of
French signboards, announcing every kind of
industry and trade, has Of late surprisingly
increased. Even since the declaration of war
between France and Prussia-an event which
must temporarily check French as well as
German immigration--it is curious to learn
that one Of the most extensive schemes of
immigration from France is still being success
fully carried out. Thus despatch from St.
Louis, which was originally centre of French
colonization, informed US yesterday Of the
arrival In that city of the agent of the Human
itarian Society of France, on his way to south
west Missouri in search of location for two
thousand French families. After tho termina-
ton of the impending war In Europe we may
expect that Frenchmen, Germans, Swedes
Norwegians, Irish, Scotch and English; in fine,
Europeans Of every nation, will swell the
food of immigration to an unprecedented
height. With our present comparatively
sparse population and our vast area of terri
tory we can heartily welcome all, whether
from Europe or from Asia, who shall seek
homes in free America and aid in the develop
ment of It's incalculable resources of wealt
and prosperity.

1t will be seen, by comparing the survey we
have taken with the map, that France thus
literally encompasses the globe with series
Of strong positions 80 skilfuly pitched near
continents, straits, narrow sess and the mouths
of great rivers, that, in case Of any disabling
misfortune occurring to her great English
rival, she would but have to tighten her reins,
80 to speak, in order to crush almost any other
antagonist. The United States would soon
have felt this boa constructor clasp had French
domination realized its recent dreams in
Mexico and on the Isthmus Of Nhuantepec
AS it is, with Cuba in Spanish hands to-day,
in French hands, possibly, ere long, there re-
mains a mighty fulcrum close to our own
doors for lever, one end Of which might be
grasped aud pressed in Paris and the other be
prying away the foundations Of independent
strength in either North or South America.
1t is well that France is, indeed, our firm and
fast friend, aud that the coup Getas rcrterieur
or outside Sate-stroke which was. to follow
the one achieved on the I'd Of December,
1851, has never been directed against US, else
might we, too, have had sore reason to feel
the stranglng pressure of the great Gordon
which cumulative genius has drawn, for the
Intended France of the future, completely
around the planet. As it Is, we may escape
| the lasso for all time If We have statesmen who
'know hawk from hernshaw when tha
| winds southerly."

The Opelousas Tragedy.

In Thursday mornings Plea
vune we gave an account OF the
killing Of Capt. J. G. Hays, i'll the
iail of Opelousas, by T. w. Evans,
the tailor and deputy sheriff, with
brief mention of the events which
led to Hays Incarceration. The
murder was one OF the most bru-
tai and deliberate on record, and
proved the assassin to have been
of singularly callous nature
He had shown such apparently
kindly consideration for his VIC
tim, as we have subsequently
learned, as to have completely
lulled the latter's previons distrust,
though Hays friends continued
to warn him against Evans, know
ing Evans desperate character.
But to all warnings Hays would
reply, that he was in no dan ger;
that no harm could come to him
there, and that Evans had proven
himself most kind and indulgent.
They not only sat and chatted
together, but frequently dined at
the same table. Even Oh Friday
evening Hays shared his repast
with the man who was within Il
few hours to be his murderer, the
latter so completely masking his
bloody intent as to propose send
ing for a bottle of wine. This
was declined by Hays, as he never
drank We must turn to the
pages of the house Of Borgia for
murder parallel to this in cold
blooded deliberateness. We now
learn that Evans was at first ar
rested on suspicion, or circum-
stantial evidences; though he had
hardly been seized when the Gu
mulative evidence of his guilt be-
came overwhelming, and immedi-
ately upon the opening of the
preliminary examination he con-
fessed himself Hays murderer.
The desperate character of the
man-;.lready found guilty of muir
der in Calcasieu parish-the afro
cious nature of the assassination,
the general esteem in which the
victim was held, the laws delay
and uncertainty, quickly sealed
Evans fate. Without murmur
of dissent, or any semblance of
tumult, he was taken in broad
daylight to the public square and
hung by an outraged community.

elected by the Democrats to Con-

elected by the Democrats to Con-
gress, their inability to take the
Test Oath being a matter of no.
toriety at the time they were elect
ed. They presented themselves
to the House for admission. Con-
gress, by a two-thirds vote, reliev-
ed them of all disabilities, and
they were admitted and sat out
the 41st Congress.
Perhaps Mr.. Stephens noticed
also that the present House ad-
mitted Mckee and Harris, Repub-
licans, of Miss, both elected while
under disabilities, and admitted
also F. E. Shober, a Democrat, of
North Carolina, who was elected
while under disabilities, and was
relieved and seated avhile a contest
avas pending.
In fact, Mr.. Stephens is amply
justified in the precedents set by
Congress in giving the advice
attributed to him. There is not a
case upon record where it can be
shown that the present House
finally rejected a candidate be-
cause he could not take the Test
Oath, nor where it has been held
by tho House that the minority
candidate should be seated be-
cause of such inability.
