IN THEIR SEATS.

After having discussed the question FOR
several days in its various bearings. the
Senate yesterday. with but two dissenting
votes. adopted the report Of the Commit
tee on Contested Elections in relation TO
the disputed seats from the First and Sec.
cnd City Districts. and Messrs. G. T.
G!audin and Emile 0eteisc were installed
il their seats.
IN this instance. Justice has been some
wia: !ardy. bu: perhaps j: is as well.
since every Senator has had ample timeto
examine the testimony presented by these
gentlemen IN support Of their claims. and
the body has been able 20 &C: with De.
.iberate Judgment.
The result arrived a: will be one sure to
cause rejoicing among the Republicans Of
the city. with whom, the newly seated
members are held in the highest esteem.

Messrs. Glaudin and Deteige are youn;
men OF talent and integrity. who bring to
the councils Of the State q thorough
knowledge Of the wants Of the people
among whom they were born and raised,
and if they do not prove themselves fitting
representatives of :hepeop!s We are greatly
deceived in them.
NJ. Detiege is seated for the long term.
as successor to Senator Pinchback. while
Mr.. Glaudin was elected to fill the unex.
pred term OF the lamenteJ Senator Fish.
We are sure the mantle that fell from the
shoulders Of the beloved dead VIII be worn
without dishonor by his successor. and
that Mr.. G,audin ill so endear himself
to the people Of his district by his !abor'

There is not one word of truth in this al

One hundred and twenty thousand dollars
is not paid for the work; tho books are
not mere copies of existing records, and
the old assessors received nye per cent,

fact is, that the amount received by each
assessor will be $4,000, from which will
have to be deducted at least $4,000 or $4,000
for clerk hire and office expenses. There
is some difference between $40 200 and

An Australian blue gum tree, otherwise
known as the eucalyptus, or fever tree, has
been planted ont at Kew, in England, and
is fourishing, and numbers of them are Gull
tiyated in the south of France and in For
tugal. This tree is known to have the ex-
celIent property of disinfecting swamps and
miasmatic places. 1t will grow well, even
in dry soil, and affords excellent timber.
There is no reason why it should not be
used to render habitable the swampy dis
tricts of the Southern States. We may be
Lea,.hy and happy yet, by gum!
