AN Important change in the wearing
apparel of the King of Dahomey is re-
ported. Seated on his throne, he re-
ceived scientific commission, not
long ago, his body ,prof,ssely decorated
with the blue. green and gold labels
which had been carefully peeled from
the medicine bottles brought by Euro-
pcans into his dOniinions. In such Il
picturesque garb the African prince
must have equalled even the glittering
costume of the Shah.

TIFF Louisiana REPORTS.

The members of the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
have submitted four separate and dis
tinct reports upon the Louisiana case.
The majority report, which is signed
by Senators Carpenter, Logan, An
thony and Alcorn, recommends the
adoption of two resolutions, one de-
claring that no legal State Govern
ment exists in Louisiana, and the other
that neither John Ray or w. Z. Me-
Millen are entitled to seats in the SEN
ate. The same Senators also recon-
mend the passage of a bill, prepared
by Senator Carpenter, providing for a
new election to be held in this State
on the second Tuesday of May, under
federal auspices, and appropriating
two hundred thousand dollars to defray
the expenses of the s;tme.
Senator Morton, who is chairman of
the committee, presents minority
report, which is an able and elaborate
document, and "favors the full re-
cognition of the Kellogg Govern
ment.
Senator Hill also puts in a minority
report favoring a consolidation of the
two Legislatures. the combined body
to choose the State officers.
Senator Trumbull presents minority
report number three, favoring the re-
cognition Of McEnery.
It is impossible to foreshadow the
action of Congress, but the friends of
Gov. Kellogg dclare their belief that
Mr.. Morton's minority report will be
the one adopted. There will be no
proceedings in the Louisiana case in
Congress to-day. m.

that have been bestowed upon the
CHIEF by its contemporaries OF the
press, none have given us greater
qualification than the following from
the St. Charles Herald, a new paper,
published at Hahnville, st. Charles
parish, by Mr.. Horace Vallas. The
Herald says:
Among the weekly papers in this State
none excel the Donaldsonville CHIEF, pub
lished by our excellent young friend, Linden
E. Bentley, in all that constitutes reliable,
honest, enterprising and wide-awake home
newspaper. Its inclinations are Republican,
but it, tone is not blinded by partisan feel
ines. It is conducted with remarkable abll-
,ity and independence.
Friend Herald, we owe you one. In
return for your handsome compliment,
we wish you unbounded success and
prosperity in the Journalistic arena
which you have just entered.
