set aside all fears as to the building and

Trial Of the Fenians.
,e following dispatches to the American

The following dispatches to the American
Press Association are interesting:
CANANpA1GUA, N. Y, July 13.-The
Fenian trial was resumed this morning, at
nine o'clock The District Attorney called
Patrick Leahe. of Trout river. General Starr
occupied room in his house on the twenty.
sixth Witness not having arrived, General
Starr asked permission to testify on his own
behalf The District Attorney objected, and
the court refused the request. Judge Wood
ruff, in charging the jury, alluded to the I'M
pOrtance Of the case, AS involving main
tenance of peace and security. He con-
sidered, with prisoners on trial, that their
acts in foreign territory were not with n
the jurisdiction of this court; such acts, how
ever, might be considered as explaining,
and to show the object Of the expedition
organized in the United States. If prisoner
took command Of, and prosecuted military
expedition from the States into Canada, they
must find him guilty.
He then reviewed the testimony as to
Starr arriving on the ground, and making a
speech to the men, and Grinnets evidence
as to the substance was sufficiently clear.
He read statements in Buffalo papers, which
charged, according to these statements that
Starr led forward the movement from Trout
river in order to prevent the United States
troops from breaking up the expedition
The life and history of the prisoner, he said,
excites sympathy in the minds Of the jul
| rors and also in his own mind, but he
deeply regretted that he should devote his
bravery and military position to give char
acter and inspiration to so disgraceful an
enterprise.
The counsel asked the court to charge
| that if '.others set on foot the expedition
unknown to the prisoner, he was not re
| sponsible.'
| Judge Woodruff did not see that the case
| warranted such charge.
| Hon. A. J. Parker said he wished it I'm
derstood that the defence took exception:
to points in the Judges charge, which wert
not in accordance with the points requested
to he charged. =.

Clearing the Teche.

Mr.. bennett writes to the Planters Ban
ner as follows:
Captain Broad is at work with the Peer
less at the bend of the Teehe in front OF
Mr.. Roses plantation. He has made great
havoc among the snags, old logs, projecting
live oaks, and distractions to navigation
generally. In places, he has lined the banks
Of the bayou with these steamboat smash
ers that have threatened steamers ever
since the. bayou was navigated by steam.
He has done good work in this bend, and
in the bend just above Trainer & Hanson $
shipyard, and also between Franklin and
the mouth of the bayou. He has heavy
work to perform in Indian Bend, and in
many other places above.
Captain FOrgey, on the 7. D. Hine, is do
ing good work between New iberia and
ST. Martinsville. He has cleared out the
BAYOU about thirteen miles, nearly half the
distance. He and Captain Broad will put
the bayou in much better navigable cOndi
ton than it has ever been in before, by
the time the next crop is ready for market

A foolish story was printed the other day
denying that MI. Grinnell had resigned the

CALUaaNGRs OF A. C0RRBsRONDENT


Seufhern United Sfates Senators.
The New York Herald has slanderous
! Washington correspondent, who can find
nothing better for his venemous pen to do
than to write vile calumnies about Senator
Kellogg and other United States Senators,
whom he names. He says.
Every unprecedented and fair-minded per-
son who has given this sessions proceedings
the least attention, must have come TO the
conclusion that large portion OF Southern
Senators and Representatives do not, IN any
sense, represent the States that send then
here. Several of the Northern States have,
in effect. three or more Senator's, while many
of the Southern States have but one, and Ill
s0me instances none at all. Take the case
of Louisiana. for example. That State can
not be said to have more than one Senator.
William p. Kellogg is a man OF very mod
crate ability from Peoria, Illinois, who had
the good fortune to get the appointment OF
Collector Of the Port OF New Orleans IN
1865 and by judicious use OF the govern
ment patronage, was elected to the United
States Enthusiastically from Louisiana,
hut really from Illinois. His allegiance was
we'll tested when the Southern Pacific Rail
road bill was before the Senate the other
day. For awhile he stood up for Louisiana
interests to the best Of his poor ability; but
before the contest was over, ne was IOtnu
following the lead of Senator Trumbull, OF
Illinois, who managed to load down and
nearly defeat the enterprise altogether A
betrayal of the interests of the State has not
been exhibited for long time. 1t is quite
certain that Mr.. Kellogg will be permitted
to return to his home i'll Illinois on and after
| the fourth of March, 1873. He certainly
does not in any sense represent the state
| Of Lou:siana-nothing more than tail to
| Senator TrumbulPs kite.
Mr.. Revels represents Kansas as well as
Senator Ross, who is really Il citizen OF the
! State.
New Hampshire has in effect five United
| States Senators holding seats in the Senate
and voting for New England interests
| New York has but two, New Jersey one
and Pennsylvania three-Messrs Scott
! might extend the lists of misrepresented
and over-favored States, but this will do tol
a sample. While do not sympathize with
those who claim that Congressman must, III
all cases, be natives Of the States they
represent, think it can not be disputed
that they should have residence Ions
enough to get acquainted with the people
and become identified with their interests

The Cincinnati Gazette, of Wednesday,
says:
A steamboat will leave this port tO-mor-
row. bound direct for Galveston and
Houston. Texas. On board will be nearly
200 tons of through freight for Houston.
The boat is called the Diana, although her
name is not yet painted on the pilot house:
She is sidewheeler of staunch build, and
belongs to Captain Sterritt, who proposes to
run her as regular packet on Buffalo river,
between Galveston and Houston. The
Diana was built here.
