favor Of the former. If there were Senators
in this body who would 60 into the politics

sale of the Picayune.

The second attempt to get the peoples
paper" off the sheriff's hands was successful
yesterday at twelve o'clock. Mr.. DeArmas
commenced business by offering some prop
erty seized for taxes, but the large assem-
blage was too much interested in discussing
the event in newspaperdom to make any
bids. Then he read the advertisement of
the sheriff and other official prellminaries
and called for bids. Messrs. Forman, Ogden
and Leeds were clustered at his right. and
Judge Walker nonchalantly leaned against
the platform on the left. Mr.. Ogden started
the sale with bid of $1,000, which was in
stantly doubled by the other side Offers
were lively for five minutes, when Judge
Walker ended the competition with one of
$4,000, and the concern was knocked down
to him.
On being requested to come forward, he
very innocently inquired if he had won,
and then advanced. Mr.. Weed appeared
and handed him a slip OF paper. and again
disappeared. A gentle murmur of "ah b. h.
was heard, and Mr.. DeArmas announced
the sale was complete. The bond to the
sheriff was signed by Judge Walker for the
Herald Publishing Company, and by Joseph
Hernandez and Effingha Lawrence, Esqs.,
as sureties.

Hon. o. H. Brewster, of the parish of
Ouachita, State Senator, has arrived in this
city with his family, and is making arrange.
ments to remain here during the session of
the Legislature which commences on the
first Monday in January next, and con
tinues for sixty days. We have already
announced the arrival of Senator Black
burn and others, who come for the same
purpose. Members of the lower house are
also arriving, and from present appear
ances there will be no lack of a quorum
when the Legislature meets. Senator
George E. Bovee, from the parish of ST.
James, arrived in our city last evening, hale
and hearty, and will probably remain until
the next session of the Legislature closes
He informs us that on the thirteenth instant
Republican convention was held at the
courthouse to nominate candidate to fill
the vacancy in the House, occasiOned by
the death of Mr.. Hedgepath. The election
will take place on the twenty-seventh in
stant. Mr. Daniel King received the nomi-
nation. Mr.. Kings reputation and general
standing is Of the best, and there is little
doubt but he will be elected Indeed, it is
thought he will meet with no opposition.
