lature from that Judicial District, and
more particularly to Senator Blackman,
who succeeded last year in having the
appointment rejected by the Senate.
It was confidently believed that the CO.
operation of the Democrats with the
Governor would effectually squelch
Mr.. Lewis chances, and in the end
good Democrat would be appointed at
the suggestion of Senator Blackman ana
his colleagues. But in this they were
disappointed. Having served the Gov
ernor in electing his candidate for the
United States Senate and in stripping
his rival Dunn Of his favor in the Sen
ate and transferring it to the Executive,
his Excellency had no further use for
Democratic votes, and feltat liberty to
violate and evade all of his pledges.
Hence disappointment of Judge Lewis,
who once before had been rejected by
the Senate, and subsequently declared
ineligible by the Supreme Court. In
this little arrangement then, the Demo-
Gratis were sold. How the interested
parties in the Penitentiary and in the
New Canal will fare, when it is pro-
posed to legislate upon these two meas
ures remain to be SEEM. '~

Death of General VIM. r. Peck.


unaffected regret, of the sudden and un-
expected death of that gallant soldier
and true hearted gentleman; General
William r. Peck. This sad event oc-
Cured at O'Clock yesterday morning,
at the late residence Of the General, in
Madison parish, La, and was, we learn,
produced by congestive chill. Gene
raj Peck was about forty-seven years OF
age and was possessed of as many noble
and generous qualities as usually fall to
the lot of man. He was widely known,
and where he was known the best, he
was most highly esteemed and warmly
beloved. He has hosts of friends to
whom his high qualities had endeared
him, and his death will produce pang
in many hearts now widely scattered.
General Peck was born in East Ten
nessee, but his boyhood was spent in
this city, with his elder brother, DR..
Peck. When he arrived at manhood,
he removed to the parish of Madison,
La, where, with the energy peculiar to
him, he engaged in planting. His sue
cess as q planter was signal and brilliant,
and few years saw him the master of
fortune, which his own judgment and
industry had accumulated. A Demo-
crat in politics, he took an active part
in the political struggles of the day, land
on several occasions was chosen by the
people to represent Madison parish in
the Legislature of Louisiana, where his
excellent sense, sound judgement, gen.
ial manners and generous impulses,
gave him commanding influence. He
had been warmly recommended for the
Office of Chief Magistrate of Louisiana,
and but for the occurrence of the war,
we doubt not that he would long since
have been chosen the Governor Of that
great State.
When hostilities between the North
and the South commenced, he saw
plainly what duty required, and like
the brave gentleman he was, he pre-
pared to tread in its thorny path. He
raised a company of volunteers, of
which he was unanimously chosen Cap
tain, and his company was assigned to
Colonel subsequently Lieutenant-Gen
eral) Richard Taylor, as a portion of the
9th Regiment. How he discharged the
duties of soldier, we all know. He
rose to the Colonelcy of his regiment,
became Brig. General, and if the war
had lasted three months longer, would
have worn the rank and title of a Major
General. Distinguished for personal
gallantry in the army, that of North
ern Virginia, where personal gallantry
was the rule, his tall form and Hercu-
lean proportions made him conspicuous
on every battlefield, and his plume,
like that of Henry of Navarro, was al
ways in the lead, and in the thickest
of the fight. TO his old comrades in
arms, the intelligence of his death will
come with the force of personal be-
reavement, and there is not one who
shared with him the dangers and the
glories Of the campaigns of Gen. Lee,
who will not drop tear to the memory
of General William r. Peck, as brave
soldier, and as generous gentleman,
as ever wore sword, or bestrOde a
horse. Peace to the memory of the
gallant dead.

LONDON, Jan. ga special to the
Telegram says that all the evening
journals confirm the dispatches pub
lished by the morning press Of the sur
render of Paris. The surrender was
made on terms suggested by Bismarck,
and is approved here by the press unani-
mously.
The Committee of Defence has in
trusted to Favre, it is stated on the
highest authority, to make the best
terms he can, but to bring the conflict
to close i'll any case.
There isl general agreement in Off.
cial circles that the end is momentarily
at hand, so far as the defence of Paris is
concerned.
The Imperialists are active, and the
English Government is known to favor
the restoration of the Bonaparte dynas
ty under the regency.
Advices are allowed to leave Paris
endorsed by influential residents, ap
proving this termination of the war.

LONDON, Jan. 25.-There. is tremen-
dous excitement in this city, at the west
end, over the rumored treaty for the
capitulation Of Paris.
Many doubt the truth Of the report,
and this disbelief is increased by the
rumor that Favre is actually on his
way to London to attend the Confer
ence, It is said he is expected in Lon
don at $50 to-day; this is improbable
On Change there is an effervescing
excitement. The members are gather
ed in groups talking eagerly, and
editions Of papers brought in are
anxiously scanned. Everything is ris-
ing yet, but little is doing as the men,
bers are too excited.
The West end clubs are crowded at
unusually early hours, and in the omni-
buses and railroad cars, the subject
forms the one topic Of conversation, and
calculations of all kinds are made.
Among the French residents general
satisfaction is expressed. Their opinion
is that the news of capitulation is we'll
founded, and they accept the fact of
Trochu's resignation as proof of its
truth.
The neighborhoods most frequented
by French refugees, LEICESTER square
and Soho, present just now, a singular
appearance; every street is filled with
e groups of people wildly gesticulating.

The Passive Po;icy.

mere Is one argument IN favor of the pas
slVe policy Of the democratic party during
the coming presidential election, which is
wholly unanswerable, and which is thus STATED;
by the st. Louis Republican:
Again, suppose the democrats should in
1oi2, be able to elect thclr candidate for the
presidency, such election would not settle the
question 1t would no more imply the inaupu-
ration OF the elected candidate than the IN.
doubted election OF many democratic can
didate Tor congress by majority of votes in
the southern states implied lis admission to
that body. In other words, an administration
and a congress that has repeatedly rejected
legally elected democratic senator's and rem.
resentauves, would not hesitate to refuse to
count and accept the votes of the majority
thaV might elect a democratic president.

NIackie,s Type Composing Machine.

This ingenious and philosophical piece of
mechanism is attracting more and more atten-
ton, and is likely to prove, as it comes to per-
fiction, the arguments which is to dissolve into
thin air" the predictions of those who have
always insisted upon the absolute impossibility
of setting type by machinery. 1t i. not reasona'
BILE to suppose that machine which is already
successfully performing the work OF the Graphic
newspaper, besides composing all OF lts inven'
tors publications. and doing Its work to the
satisfaction of both, that it has not the qualities
claimed for it. We take from London paper
the following description Of its characteristic:

MY. Redd;ck's Temperance Bill.


Senator Reddick has made good MS pied
ges TO the temperance folks in this district,
who voted for him in body, by securing
the passage by the senate of temperance or
anti-whlsky law quite rigid enough TO satisfy
the most extreme advocate Of temperance leg
islatlon. The law is the one known as the
Ohio law, It's lead ng feature being that it
holds the liquo. .-iler responsible for the
damages resulting from intoxication.-
The following brief synopsis Of the law &:
SEC. l. Liquor sellers to have license, and
to give bond in $1,000 TO pay all damages as
sassed against them, &C.
.. Dealers to sell no liquor to minors or
persons intoxicated "or in the habit of get
ting intoxicated" except on order from par
ent, guardian or family physician
s. All places where liquors are sold in vic.
lation of this act to be declared nuisances and
abated as such.
4. Liquor seller causing any person to be.
come intoxicated to pay for charge of such
person while so intoxicated
3. Husband, wife, children, employers, &C.,
to have action against liquor sellers for all
damages in consequence of intOXication Of
son, husband, employee, &c. and owners OF
property where liquor Is sold to be jointly Ii
able with the dealer for such damages.
G. Prescribos penalties for violation of pre-
ceding sections
T. Giving away liquor or other shifts tc
evade the law TO he regarded as selling
s. All the property, real or personal, of til,
liquor seller, held liable tor payment of an!
fines imposed, and the building in winch huu
or is unlawfully sold, no matter to whom be
longing, also held liable on execution forpay
nent of damages, fines, &c.
%. d 10. Further provisions fov enforcing
act by fines Imprisonment, sc.
This will do to give the reader clear ide,
OF the nature of the proposed law. OF cours
we shall give it entire whenever it passes tn
house, which it is said there is strong proba
bility it will.
The bill is another attempt, Of which few
nave heretofore ever succeeded to cure NOR
al evils by legislation. The Ohio law. and
similar one in Iowa, are said to work well
ii law like this can be quietly enforced il
Illinois, and cause as thorough and radical ,
reformation in the abuse Of strong drink a.
tAe law evidently eontemplates, tie consum
nation Is one devoutly to be wished.
The bill, 1t must be admitted, is somewha,
severe on those who rent or lease buildings il
winch liquor may be sold, even without thei
knowledge or consent. It Is still more sever
on those risky young bloods of G or IS wears

orders from their mothers. But the severest
sufferers doubtless, will be the poor devils
