ihe lecturer commenced by saying that
Centenary College was organized under
the auspices of the Methodist Church. sect
the most influential and numerous Of all re-
.iglOus denominations in the United States
Centenary College had educated some
Of the most learned scholars and leading
men IN the South and when the war broke,
out It was in dour;shing condition. At
home. he said, was the place to educate
the natives of any State, where they would
be subject to the influence of parents
brothers and sisters Louisiana should fol
low the example of other States. and estab-
llsh local institutions of learning. The first
four years Of college life should be spent in
the students native State. and after that he
might be sent to Europe to complete his
education.
1t had been asserted that the college in
question was conducted under sectarian in
t1uences. That was not the fact, for the
system OF education was the same as at
Yale College or the Harvard University
We had in New Orleans AS good common
schools as any in the Union, and at these
foundation could be laid upon which to
build slperstructure at any other State
college or university.
The lecturer expressed his regret that
there was not a more numerous attendance

FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, March II. The democrats
and conservatives of both Houses held a eau
Gus to-day of four hours duration, among
other business was the passage of a resolution
that declares it essential to the interests of
the people of this country, that the democratic
conservative members of this congress, be in
constant attendance upon the session until
the final adjournment, and that absentees be
requested TO return at once, so that the evil
legislation contemplated, may be avoided.
The republican members of the Senate held
a caucus meeting this afternoon, to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY of prolonging the session, in
order to enact some measures for the better
protection of life and property in the southern
States. There was long discussion upon
the subject, number of the Senators taking
ground that it would be impracticable to leis-
late on the question without opening the door
to general legislation, which was not de-
sirable ut this time a resolution was
adopted for the appointment of COM
mittee of five to confer and act with a
similar committee of republican members of
the House in forming bill for the protection
Of southern loyalists, and to report to another
meeting of the caucus next Monday, when
the subject will be further considered and a
conclusion probably reached. A resolution
was offered to-day and considerable argument
made in favor of immediate action upon the
bill to repeal duties on coal and salt, the Gin
cinnati and southern railroad bill, and several
others. but the caucus decided that no meas
ures shall be enacted this session except such
as relate to the condition of the Southerc
States

Especial despatch to the Daily hennebec journal
Gardner, March l2 The ice broke up
and has gone down the river to-day, (Sun-

for many years. The earliest account we
have of the Kennebec opening in the spring,
is March 10Th, 1906, but it is stated on good
authority that the river for nearly a century
has never been open so early in the spring.
Navigation has been closed about 81 days.
Accounts from Skowhegan and other places
on the Kennebec above the dam, say the ice
cannot last there more than day or two.
