The Kentucky Elections.

The majority for Leslie, the Demo-
cratic Governor of Kentucky just cleo
ted, is about SO, 900, or about 7, 200 more
than the Democratic majority on the
Congressional ticket last year. The
vote received by Governor Leslie was
the largest ever cast in the State, and
and his majority is greater by 10000,
than was obtained by Seymour for
President in 1868! The Democrats
have majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature of only ninety seren.- J7rks-

Ouachita Female Academy.

We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement fthis well known
Institution, to be found in another
column.
1t will be seen that the next session
will open on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, under the most favorable cir
cuInstances. AS we predicted when
Mrs. Benton took charge of the Acade-
my-it is now evident that she, with
her husbands assistance, will make
this one of the best female schools in
the Southwest. And it is only needed
that the citizens of Monroe and North
Louisiana should properly appreciate
in order to secure in our midst every
educational advantage that could
possibly be desired.
Col. Benton's literary attachments
and ability to teach, are too we'll known
throughout this part of the State, to
need any commendation from us. He
has thrown his whole soul into the
work Of building up this institution,
and we feel assured that his labors
will be appreciated. In the time which
Mrs. Benton has had charge of the
Academy, she has won golden opinions
from her patrons, by the gentle firm
ness with which she has conducted the
school, and her peculiar capacity for
knowledge.
We are informed that Miss r.. n.
Mickle comes to the Institution with
the highest possible recommendations
for her scholastic attachments in the
English, Latin and French languages.
She has been engaged in teaching for
several years, with great success, at
Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Mrs. e. j. Slack, who has charge Of
the Department of Music, has no supe-
rior in the State or the South, and we
think Mrs. Benton has been peculiarly
in securing the services Of 2
lady, so well, and so f,avorably known
in the community. She is equally
Us teacher, performer
and composer of Music.
We are informed that Mrs. Benton
is at this time in correspondence with
a lady of Alabama, who has for many
years been engaged in teaching Draw
ing and Painting, and whose services
she will doubtless secure.
With such a school at home, there is
no reason why single girl; or young
lady, from North Louisiana, should be
sent out of the State, and we do trust
that parents and guardians will give
as its excellence deserves.

Our Bastrop friends will soon have
one of the finest livery-stables in the
State. Mr.. H. G. Dobson informs us
that he expects to open the new stable
built by Mr.. Phelps in that place, on
the 1st of September, and to stock it
with good horses, hacks, buggies, &c.
Mr.. Dobson knows all about a livery
stable and horse, and we have always
found him obliging, liberal and atten-
tive in his stable management here.
His stable in Monroe will not be closed.

After careful consideration, we have
come to the conclusion that neither
good taste, good sense, nor the inter-
ests of the Republican party, require
us to take any part in the little differ
ences that are now disturbing the party
in this STANDARDIZATION Journal.
That is, you have not been able, up
to date, to decide which of the two
wings will come out winner. Is not
that it. Colonel?

additional legislation" says the
Southwestern, sis necessary so as to
give more time to the country sessions"
of the Supreme Court. No legislation
is necessary. The fault lies with the
Court, in not giving but four or five
weeks to the Monroe term, when they
have four months to devote to it.
