Any number of gentlemen in Connecticut
seem to be ambitious to succeed Senator Ferry,
whose term expires March Sd, 1873. Among
those mentioned in the list of possible or prob-
able candidates for the senatorship, besides the
present incumbent, are Governor Jewell, ex-
Governor Hawley, editor of the Hartford
COurdnt, Henry b. Harrison, of New Haven,
s. W. Kellogg, Of Waterbury, present mem
bers Of the House, and G. H. Plat, OF Meriden
The legislature to be chosen in April will elect,
and the Springfield Republican thinks that the
chances are in favor of the reelection of Mr..
Ferry.

Kenyon College, which used to be one of the
most prosperous and excellent educational in
situations in the interior Of the country, seems
to be on the down grade. At q meeting of the
trustees last week it was voted to cut down sal-

one OF the fine halls connected with the college
for q hotel and place of summer resort.

Europe is adopting many American ideas in
the management of railroads calculated to rem
edy defects in andimProve the systems In vogue
there, but we are not acting in like sensible
manner. For instance, our trains In passing
through cities run on the grade of the streets,
endangering life and limb; on the other side of
the Atlantic the cars invariably pass above or
below the level OF the streets.

Notwithstanding the s....ss!ea statements from

Notwithstanding the s..s!!ed statements from
monarchical sources In England which reach
this country, ridiculing the republican move
ment, the fact remains that liberal ideas are
spreading among the middle classes throughout
Great Britain, and have so far prevailed as to
destroy much Of the old-fashioHed loyalty to the
crown and veneration for the nobility. On the
9th Of this month q republican club was organ
lied in Glasgow, Scotland. The constitution
proposed that the club should promote the sub
stitution Of the existing British monarchical
cratic republic, under which all citizens shall
enjoy equal privileges, and be equally subject
to the same laws, and be eligible to occupy any
Official position to which they may be called BY
the free suffrages Of their fellow-citizens The
club should also promote the abolition of he
reditary and privileged aristocracy, and of
state-fayored and endowed church: the ipstitu-
ton OF equal electoral DISTRICTS and the right of
every citizen who has attained p years Of age to
be represented legislatively. The constitution
further denounced and disclaimed all violence
of speech and action. The question as TO
whether woman suffrage should be promoted
Was decided in the negative. This constitution,
with q few slight notifications, was adopted.

Indiana volunteers during the war, and was

Those who denominate themselves the liberal
republicans of Missouri have called national
Convention, to meet in Cincinnati on the 9th of
May. The design is TO operate against Presi-
dent Grant, and this convention will develop
how much there is of the opposition. The St
Louis Democrat. a republican paper, says that
the movement does not amount to much, even
in Missouri; and the New York Herald says of
the coming convention:
"From present appearances, the Cincinnati
convention will be fiZZle, like the Intepend-
ent Conservative Tyler Baltimore Convention of
1874. and the Cleveland Anti-Lincoln Republic
can Convention of 1864, and the Andy johnson
Philadelphia New Party Convention of 1856
and, without doing much, il will, probably, ad-
journ to meet again at the same time and place
with the regular democratic convention. And
as every man who goes TO this Cincinnati coun-
Gil of republican soreheads will be taking new
departure, il is probable that, except the Mis-
souri, out-and- cutters, most of them will stay at
home until they can make a pretty clear calcu-
lation as to which will be the safe side, on the
principle that

The sixty-Nfnth Anniversary

To-day is the siXty-ninth anniversary OF
the first occupation of Louisiana by the
United States authorities.
On the thirtieth Of April, 1908. during the
rule Of the First Consul Of France. the
treaty was signed at Paris by the repre-
sentaGves Of France and the United States,
by which the French relinquished to the
United States their possessions bordering
on the Gulf Of Mexico, and contiguous to
the Territory Of Mississippi.
This territory, first occupied and peopled
by the French, had been ceded by France
to Spain, and was taken possession Of in
behalf Of the Spanish monarch by the reso-
Lutte and determined O'Reilley, though at
the cost Of some patriotic French blood, in
1869. Thus it remained until in November.
1903, Spain again transferred the province
to France, and the chivalrous Casa Calvo
turned over the government to the French
prefect LaUssat. 1t was a darling project
Of the first Napoleon to again repossess the
colony that France had founded, and had
committed great blundeF IN ever parting
with, But no sooner was the French flag
again flung to the breeze IN Louisiana than
war with England was threatened, and the
honor and glory OF empire had to give way
to military and financial necessity. Hence
the treaty of Paris.
On Tuesday, the twentieth day Of De.
cember, 1903, Governor Claiborne, of Mis-
sissippi, and General Wilkinson, of the
United States army, commissioners Of the
United States, had reached New Orleans.
and in formal manner, amidst imposing
ceremonies, at the old City Hall, near Jack
son square, the flag Of France was again
pulled down and the stars and stripes run
up on the flag staff in the square, amidst
vaIvos of artillery from the land batteries
around the city and the vessels lying in the
stream. Only twenty days had expired
from the time Laussat received the city
from Casa Calvo till he turned the same
over to the American authorities.
At that time there were nine thousand
inhabitants in the city Of New Orleans.
Etienne Boree was its Mayor, and to show 1
hat financial embarrassments are no new
hing, we may be excused for stating that
,ity paper was at that time worth seventy
;ents or the dollar.

Exercises at Girls, High school.

Notwithstanding the fact that the weather
was abomiaable, the exercises at the Upper
| Girls High School took place, and the at
tendance was greater than the rooms couIC
accommodate. An interesting programme
had been prepared. Each young lady ao
quilted herself with honor, which reflects
great credit on pupils, teachers and om
public school system. 1t was apparent that
the graduates had fully prepared them
selves for a severe test; and they were
equal to the occasion. Few schools can
possibly produce such evidences Of educa-
tional progress.
This school may safely compete with any
other for the honor Of excellent deport
ment, and as to perfection in studies, not a
single graduate stands marked under nine
ty three. This alone speaks world OF
praise.
The names Of the graduates are as foI-
lows.

den, Adele jackson, Annie McAllister,

Somerville, Ada Warren, Julia Guyther,

Fannie Well, Sallie Kearnes, Ella Godfrey,
Isabella Hoffman.
This is an usual number, for which all
concerned must justly feel proud.
Had a stranger entered the building dur
ing tie time, not knowing that it was .
public school, ne certainly would have CON
sidered himself within the walls of some
notable private institution, where none but
the highest branches were taught.
1t is gratifying to record the fac that the
school has not only kept up its former
bright reputation. but has excelled any of
its former efforts. The sight was cheerful
one indeed, and those parents who attended
the performance expressed themselves graf
fled beyond expectations.

Shreveport by rail. He said that the Re
pubEcans had been accused of doing moth
ing for the State. Let them pass this bill
and when the road is built to Shreveport
| they can point to it with pride as something
| that was accomplished under Republican
rule. He hoped gentlemen would not cause
unnecessary delay in the passage Of the
| DILL. Mr. Young said he had read the bill
carefully since Wednesday, and was salts
fed that his objections to il, expressed to
the House when the bill was first consid.
cred, were not well founded. He now
regarded the bill as one Of great import
ance to the State, and thought it should be
acted upon as speedily as possible. He
therefore, hoped the gentleman from Madi-
son tMr. Murrell) would withdraw his mo-
ton and allow the House to proceed with
the further consideration of the bill at this
time. He desired the bill to be considered
section by section. Mr.. Wilson wanted
further time. He was not in favor Of Mr..
Murrells motion to refer the bill TO rail
road committee, but he wanted the further
consideration of the bill postponed until
next Saturday. Mr.. Montaldo expressed
himself in favor of referring the
bill to a committee. Mr.. Gair took a
similar view. Mr.. Young again obtained
the floor, and expressed himself astonished
at the views and conduct Of members in re-
gard to the bill under consideration. Gen
tlemen had already been given time to in
vestigate it. If they had not done so it was
their own fault They were throwing un-
necessary obstacles in the way of a good
work. Capitalists from the North stood
ready to build this most important work
without cost to the State, and gentlemen.
members of the Legislature, are refusing
the people the benefits of a most i'm
portant railroad by refusing to pass
this bill. If the gentlemen connected with
the proposed enterprise asked for two or
three millions of dollars from the State Mr..
Young thought it quite likely there would
be no opposition to the bill. Butas nothing
of the kind was asked for they seemed in
clined to defeat the bill by repeatedly call
ing for its pOstponemenH. He, therefore,
hoped the motion to refer would not pre-
vail. A motion was then made to lay the
motion to refer on the table. and on that
motion the yeas and nays were called, with
the following result; Yeas thirty seven,
nays thirty-two. The motion 10 refer was
laid on the table. The first section OF the
bill was then adopted by vote OF sorty-
five yeas to twenty-five nays.
Mr.. Souer was called to the chair.
Mr.. Gair moved reconsideration Of Ghe
vote just taken, to which Mr.. Young OBJ
jected, stating that it was done TO embar.
rass the action of the House on the bib,
Mr.. Gair called for the previous question
and demanded the yeas and nays on MS
motion to reconsider. By a vote Of thirty
yeas to forty nays, the motion 70 reconsider
was lost. A motion was then made and
carried TO adjourn until to-day az Twelve
