RISING TO EXPLAIN.

The Kelloggites have held meeting
at which the ayes and nays we're taken
to ascertain whether Kellogg was legally
elected. The ayes had it ten to one.
So all doubt on that subject is removed
from the mind Of the average Kelloggite,
il any such doubt can be supposed for a
moment to have existed. They also
resolved " to send strong delegation
of colored orators North to disabuse the
public mind of any lingering doubts
about Kellogg, Packard, Durrell and the
rest of the crowd being mild-manRered
and Christian-hearted gentlemen. The
reports received fail to state whether the
hat was passed around for funds to pay
the expenses of these white-washing ora
tors, or whether they depend upon the
charity of railroads, hotels and saloon
keepers. That committee will doubtless
be as large as a regiment If the funds are
furnished in advance. The fear of the
cholera or yellow fever of course has
nothing to do with this exodus, and the
cool shades of Nothern watering places
no attractions for these volunteer ora
tors. But another evil troubles the
Kelloggists aside from misapprehensiens
in the Northern mind; New Orleans has
an Associated Press agent who neglects
many favorable opportunities for pra's-
ing Kellogg in his daily dispatches and
never fails to speak respectfully Of Gov
ernor McEuery. This is too sad; he
ought to be put out and some frst-class
imported liar put in his place; so that the
outside world would only have to read one
side of the question, and that the kellogg
side. This agent also has to bear the
sin Of being the editorial manager OF the
Picayune, paper that sometimes speaks
out and has not yet been suppressed by
King Kellogg. His removal and the
suppression of all opposition papers is
only a matter of time and expediency.
Too much truth has been told to suit the
views of Louisiana rulers, and hereafter
they intend to see to it that the indie
pendent press in that State shall be
mnzzled.

The loan market is now lazy, and all
indications are favorable for q steady in
crease in the supply of funds at this
point. Banks are anxious to place their

paper running into July or August is in
active demand, and on all sides the feel
ing is really comfortable for borrowers
The general condition of affairs is now
healthy, and unless some unforeseen
circumstances occur to distract the ten
dency of the different markets, the
movement in monetary matters premise

UNSETTLED FRANCE.

NJ. Theirs, the deposed President OF
France, was seventy-six years old on the
18th of April last, and has been more or
less prominent as a journalist, author,
historian and politician fer at least fifty
wears. He was President about two
wears and nine months, and during his
administration displayed marked execu-
tive ability and all the vigor of a man
under fifty. When an impartial history
is written in after years he will be
classed among the most sagacious states
men Of the age. He became President
when anarchy reigned and his
country was still in the hands
of the triumphant Germans
all was chaos and confusion. Out of dis
cordant elements he brought system aud
harmony. He recognized the army and
restored financial confidence and secu-
rity. He made the most out of turbulent
factions, and was displaced by bare
majority of twenty-niHe out OF seven
hundred and ten members who were
present and voted. Marshal Mcmahon
received only three hundred and ninety
votes as the Left declined to vote at all.
The future of France is very uncertain,
but we believe shat Mcmahon is the last
President of the present republic. A
regency is the next thing in order.

time only two have died. Several cases
have also appeared in the Fulton rail-

have been quite clear Of the infection

"D'ACRE," writing up the characters
he met at the Atlanta Convention for the
St. Louis Republican, speaks Of Duff
Green as follows:
General Duff Green, of Dalton, Ga,
was a delegate to the convention. This
remarkable man has perhaps had a
more varied experience in American
politics than any living man. He is now
in his eighty-third year, yet he stands
erect, walks briskly, and the fires that
light up those wonderful eyes Of his have
not zone out. General Green is tall
man, remarkably erect for one of his
age, with countenanee that would ar
rest attentioR anywhere. Venerable in
years. ripe in experience, vigorous still
in mind and strong in body, looked
upon this gentleman with feeling akin
TO awe and reverence. Nature made him
a nobleman, and be is spared-the de-
fender Of Fort Harrison Rearly sixty-hVe
years ago-as a link between the past
and the present, the living and the dead.
General Green was an editor IN 81.
Luis nearly ffty years ago. Perhaps NO
man had so much influence IN shaping
the policy Of the government as did
General Duff Green in the days Of
Jackson.

women near Bangor lately attempted to
settle a quarrel by retiring to grove and
firing at each ether with pistols. They
blazed away for sometime without effect
and then resorted to knives. One Of
them succeeded in drawing blood, but in
order to bring the affair to a successful
termination they had to take to clubs,
and when one face was completely de-
molished its owner gave in.

A strange case of religious monomania
has occurred in Leicestershire, En-
gland Some weeks ago the Rev. W.
March, formerly the curate of Melton
Mowbray, returned to Melton from an
excursion to ireland, and stopped at the
house of q friend named Anderson. The
next morning Anderson was reused
from his sleep by March with the request
to pick out his right eye. On accom-
panying March, Anderson found that
his friend had chopped of his right
hand and was Just attempting to pick
out bis right eye. Two physicians were
calledin, who amputated the arm, which
was shockingly mutilated During the
operation March displayed the utmost
self-possession, and complimented the
doctors on their skill Near him on
tsble lay a psyer-book and Bible, the
latter of which was turned mp at the
passage, "Hthy right arm offend thee,
cut it Of" etc.
