There's muss on hand concerning
tho Bayou Lafourche ferry, and as the
concern does not yield any revenue
to either town or parish, our citizens
can stand by and regard the conflict
with heroic equanimity. 1t seems the
lease of the ferry was sold at auction
last week by the attorneys of the sue
cession of Marx Schenberg, and Frank
Montero, Esq. was the highest bidder,
offering q fraction less than $1,000 for
the institution. 1t is claimed that the
terms of sale were not complied with
by Montero, in consequence of which
the ferry was sold to Mr.. Manuel
Fuentes, who at once assumed posses
sion. Thinking he had been treated
with injustice. Montero some days
since established ferry at the head
of Opelousas street, conveying persons
and vehicles across Bayou Lafourche
free of charge. The new institution
was doing fine business, in fact bid
fair to monopolize all travel over the
bayou, but Fuentes applied for and
procured an injunction restraining
Montero from interfering with his bus
mess, and this not being obeyed, q
writ of sequestration was sued out and
the ferry property of Montero placed
under seizure by the Sheriff. So the
pernicious monopoly; created by a
shameful piece of special legislation
in the interest of few individuals,
still holds sway over the limpid stream
that forms the northern boundary OF
our oppressed corporation. lover
particular people may object to the
application of such a term as limpid
to the coffee-colored waters of the
bayou, but it's pretty word and we
insist upon using it, We shall have
more to say of this ferry matter ere
many moons.

The nomination of Hon. Caleb Cush-
ing for Chief Justice having failed to
meet with the approval of the Senate,
the President has nominated Hon.
Morrison r. Waite of Ohio. and the
selection has been unanimously con-
frmed by the Senate. Mr.. Waite is
at present chairman of the Ohio Con-
stitutional Convention, and has long
occupied q leading position at the To-
ledo bar. In politics he is Republi-
can, but has never taken a very active
part in any Of the national political
contests. OF nnqnestioned ability and
irreproachable personal character, his
nomination seems to be fayorably re-
ceived by the people of the nation ir-
respective of party.

A personal difficulty occurred in the
House of Represen tatives on Tuesday
last between Hons. G. N. Lewis of
this parish and Cain Sartain of Car
rell. 1t appears that during the dis
cussion of the funding bill, Mr.. Lewis
charged Mr.. Sartain with receiving a
bride of $50, whereupon the latter
rushed at his accnser and it was only
through the interference of surround
ing members that an assault was pre-
vented. We hardly think Mr.. Lewis
would have uttered such grave ac-
cusation without some shadow of
proof to sustain it, and certainly Mr..
Sartain met the qharge in very un-
wise and hurtful manner to himself.

How truly refreshing it is to wit
ness the patriotic fervor with which
certain official journal filings itself
into the breach of the Souer-Lowall
contest after the battle has been
fought, lost and won, and the smoke
cleared away, showing who was vic
tor. How violently the fearless sheet
protests against the election of Souer
now that there is no probability
of such a contingency; how ardently
itsupports and praises Lowell since
he has whipped the fight and still
Yields the pen which signs away
printing contracts and with what
crushing force do the rebukes of this
astute oracle fall upon the heads of
the vicious papers that had the auda-
city to express any preferences before
they saw which way the cat was 60
ing to jump. We can imagine the
honest pride which fills the bosom of
Speaker Lowell when he peruses the
encomiastical outbursts of this brave
and very disinterested warrior whose
noble achievements upon the field of
battle-after the fight-did SO much
towards gaining him the day! The
very gods themselves might well feel
proud of praise from such source,
hence more can blame the Speaker for
his self-gratulation. Let us all pray
for modlcum of that wisdom which
teaches its possessor in ticklish times
to preserve golden silence until the
tide of victory has set in, then we too
can mount the rampant and shout our
selves hoarse and wipe the sweat
from off our brows as if we mingled
in the tliickest of the fray and the
glorious termination had hinged upon
our special efforts.

The managers of the Centennial Ex-
position intend having a monument
erected to chronicle the one hundredth
birthday Of our young Republic. The
monument will be composed of cir
cnlar column of metal rising to the
heighth of one thousand feet; it will
be one hundred and fifty feet in di-
ameter ali the base and thirty at the
top; it will have spiral staircase by
means of;which persons can ascend to
the pinnacle it will also be furnished
with elevators capable of taking four
persons up in three minutes and down
lin five. The contractors bind them
selves to complete it within year.
When completed this monument will
be 499 feet higher than the famed
spire at Cologne, and will tower more
than 600 feet above the dome of Trim
ity Church, New York.

NOTICES. or THE PRESS.

The everincreasing circulation of this ex-
ceIlent monthly proves its continued adap-
tation to popular desires and needs. In
deed, when we think into how many homes
it penetrates every month, we must consider
it as one of the educators as well as enter
tanners of the public mind, for its vast pop
ularity has been won by no appeal to stupid
preiadices or depraved tastes.-Boston Globe.
The character which this magazine pos
sesses for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth,
and literary culture that it has kept pace
with, if it has not led the times, should cause
it's conductors to regard it with justifable

The Siamese twins, Chang and Eng,
who for years past have been conspic-
pously before the public as monstros-
ices, died on the 10th inst, at their
home, Mount Airy. Surry County,
North Carolina. Since last fall Chang
has been partially paralyzed and much
addicted to strong drink, and lately
has been very feeble and greatly de-
bilitated. He expired about two hours
before Eng, whose death was probably
caused by grief at the loss of his
brother.

PASSAGE OF THE FUNDING BILL.

PASSAGE OF THE FUNDING BILL. |
We congratulate the General AS
the State Government, the
Republican party and the people of
Louisiana generally upon the passage
of that wise and much needed meas
ure, the fuhding bill, which was
adopted by the House of Representa-
tives and Senate during the present
week and has gone to Governor Kel-
logg for his official signature, which
it will assuredly receive.
This MEASURE, which is about to
become part Of the organic law of the
State, has been framed in accordance
with the Recommendations of the
Governors message, and will do
more at one swoop to correct the evil
legislation OF the past than any pro-
iect which has been suggested by
even the most prolific reformers of
the Opposition to the present admin
istration. The constitutional amend
ments provided for, and which will be
submitted I'd the people for adoption
at the next election, will reduce the
interest bearing debt of the State
from twenty-five to fifteen millions
of dollars, and the ratio OF taxation
from 2l5 to l4b mills upon the dollar.
1t is further claimed that within a
brief space of time after the workings
of the new: law have begun, total
abolition of all license taxes will be
possible, and as Gov. Kellogg and
his supporters are strongly in favor
of this abolition, we may safely count
1pon it's early occurrence. As soon
as practicable we shall publish the
new funding bill and thus afford our
readers opportunity to examine into
its merits for themselves.
For the enactment of this law, the
funding bill, the General Assembly
deserves The hearty and unqualified
Appreciation of the whole people of
Louisiana. There could have been
no stronger argument used with
Congress why the present State Gov
eminent should be continued in pow
er than this bill, and if in the face OF
it our National legislators arrogate to
themselves the authority to place all
the interests of Louisiana in jeopardy
by, ordering new election at this
season, they will merit universal de-
nunciation, especially at the hands
of the white people and property
holders of our State.
