WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The debate to-
day has been favorable to us. Carpen-
ter's speech absolutely demolished Kel-
|logg. The debate goes on tonight.
Your action relative to militia enroll
ment helps US. -
WASHINGTON, February 18th re
was an excited contest all day yesterday
on the Louisiana question.
Mr.. Carpenter was generally denun-
ciatory and quite eloquent. He, argued
that one of two courses had to be pur-
sued, either to acknowledge the Nc
Emery Government or to pass the Elec-
ton Bill. Fri
Senator Thurman, who represented
the Democrats, made speech fayoring
the recognition Of MeEnerv as the only
solution.
Senator Morton followed in a speech
favoring Kellogg by mastery inactivi-
ty. He regards Kellogg as able to take
care of himself, but if he needs assist
ance we know the President is ready
and willingto give it.
At midnight motion to table the bill
failed by vote Of "a to Is. a.a
An amendment was offered that the
Kellogg Government be recognized in
stead of restoring the old State Govern
ment during the new election.
The debate on this new point lasted
until 8 A. NJ, with many motions to ad-
journ and to lay the matter on the
table.
There surely will be a final vote be-
fore the adjournment of the session.
The amendment was lost: ayes 10,
nays 23-the Democrats all voting nay.
There is no indication of any move
ment being made tonight to reconsider
the vote on the Louisiana bill, though
very probably, an effort will be made
tomorrow. The following is the vote
on the amendment retain the Kellogg
Government. Yeas, 22-Nays 20.
The defeat of Mr. Carpenters bill set.
ties that there will be no legislation or
the Louisiana question.
The President says he will favor ant
approve the settlement made by thu
parties at New Orleans. lt
Senate-At hall-past O'Clock this
morning the bill reported by the Com
new election in Louisiana, was tabled.
Been up all night. Senate just adj
journed. Debate bitter. The election
bill defeated. Judge Trumbull will Cal

II On the fourth of March twenty

Il On the fourth of March twenty
four United States Senators vacate
their seats; sixteen retire to- private
life, Wilson becomes Vice President,
aud the others have been reelected for
fresh term. Since the death of SOME
of our latter Presidents, while in office,
it becomes a serious question who fills
the Vice Presidency, and although. the
South has certainly no reason to pray
for Grants continuance in office, vet
the alternative Of such a character as
Wilson is enough to make one pray
that the present incumbent may live
out his official days. Trumbull will be
missed, but taken as a whole, the
country will probably benefit by the
changes. There are, lmwever, some
contested cases. Patterson, Of South
Carolina, who takes the place of Say
yer, is u relative of Cameron, aud is
charged with buying his place in the
most fragrant manner. John P. Jones,
who succeeds Nye, from Navada, will
also probably be investigated, and it is
hoped that the election of Spencer,
from Alabama, will be declared illegal.
Ingalls,, who takes Pomeroy's place,
comes in by one of those popular revul-
sions at rascality that sometimes lift
common. place men into pOtoriety, be-
cause they are honest, but his friends
assert that he will be found equal to
the position.-[N. Q. Picayune.

DEATH OF JUDGE BOYCE.


We are panied to announce the
death, on the 1st inst, Of the Honora-
Bile Henry Boyce, at his residence,
Ulster, in this parish, in the nth year
of his age. For, soma months past his
health had been so feeble that his
death might have been expected at any
time.
Judge Boyce was among the few re-
naming residents of Rapides of the
olden time. He came to the parish in
the year 1927 and had resided here
ever since, acquiring his fame and for
tune amongst us. He was born in
county Ulster, Ireland, but came to
Louisiana and settled in the parish of
St. Martin about the year 1924. He
studied his profession in Louisiana,
practiced a short time at St Martins
vile, and then removed to Alexandria,
where he Immediately entered upon
a large and lucrative practice. With
in a few years-nearly forty years ago,
he was made judge of this Judicial dis
trict, aud for fifteen years he discharg-
ed the duties of the Office with great
ability. He was appointed by General
Taylor Judge of the United States Dis
trict Court for the Western district of
Louisiana and filed the Office until the
passage of the ordinance of secession
of Louisiana. In 1865 he was elected
to the State Legislature from Rapides
and during the session was elected
United States Senator but, as is we'll
known, failed to obtain his seat.
Judge Boyce was gentleman of
good natural ability, considerable cul-
ture, and was possessed Of great firm
ness and energy of character. His in
tegrity was never called into question.
He was endowed with qualities that
would have made him a leading citi-
zen in any community in the country.
Judge Boyce was twice married.
His first wife was the daughter of the
late John Archinard, Of this Parish,
and his second, who survives him, is
daughter of the late John Mullann-
ply, of st. Louis, Missouri, "....
There are less than half dozen men
now living in Rapides, who can num-
Der as many years as Judge Boyce. OF
the Rapides lawyers all who we're con-
temporary with him are long since
dead. Judge Billiard was On the bench
when he was at the bar. Richard
VIM, who acquired q wide reputation
and died thirty. three years ago, was
his JUNIOR by eight years. Dunbar and
Elgee were younger men than he
Brent and Ogden and Flint, who rose
rapidly and died young, belonged al.
most to another generation, having
been admitted to the bar long after
Judge Boyce had left it for the bench
The Oldest members now at the bal
were in their horn book when he be-
came Judge. We were right, then
in saying that he belonged to the old
en- time.

however, did not know the Court; and the whole as
