Louisiana Affairs.

New YORK, Sept. IS. --Seuator West, OF
Louisiana, in an open letter to Casey in New
Orleans, under date of yesterday, iu relation 10
the charges against him of unnecessary alb,
sence from the State during the late uprising
of the people, says: II Gov. Kellogg regrets
my abseucc be knows that | visited the North
at his written request to lay before the Presi-
dent the condition Of affairs in Louisiana, aud
to solicit Federal support for his government
when its integrity should be imperlled. If he
regrets my absence as an adviser or counsellor,
it is an indication to me that for the first time
within my recollection, since his installation in
1872, he is ready to give consideration to my
opinions as to his general policy. If he wants
his political friends who arc absent to assume
fighting garb they might prefer some other
leader. The Kellogg administration is en-.
vironcd with difficulties sufficient to dislnay the
stoutest heart, and it has of late received such
shock as to make its most determined sup
porters doubt whether it is competent to exact
obedience to its authority, even with the as
sistance Of the parent government"

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. ITO be or not to be, y
that was the question which Jennie Ross, a
darnsel who had seen better days but who had
stopped to folly aud become resident OF Fish
town, had long been bordering, until al length,
driven to desperation by the repeated Sights
and cruel neglect Of those who once were wont
to do homage to her charms, she realized the
unwelcome truth that she had passed INTO the
seer and yellow leaf, and that the world was
hers no more, and concluded rather than en-
dure present ills that she would lily to those
she knew not Of; for, having no one to minis
ter to her mind diseased, aud being abandoned
b7 her fellow M eSSe, she determined to be-
come felo de Sc, aud to apply the sweet OBJ
livious autidote of death. SO she protested
that she would taste the lucid cooluess OF the
food and Ego in and down into the depths OF
the dark waters Last mig ht all thugs seemed
propitlOus to the enterprise. 1t was the hour
when the finger upon the dial pointed hard
upon the stroke of twelve, and the moon threw
down from the lofty tops OF silent warehouses
huge shadows upon scene that would DO
credit to 6rst-class suicide But such it was
destined not to be, for whilst she sat upon the
perilous edge of high pier that overlooked
the deep profound, her liquid orbs, sutfused
with tears, FROM whence they dropped down to
the trcttul waves that surged below, tired
fisherman, who had resigned the laborious ct
fort Of his oars for the soft solace OF Morpheus
dreams was driitcd upon that tide which III
the affairs of men conducted him close under
the pier, concealed from mortal view. A
shrek loud aud shrill, uuearthly, wlerd and
wild, now sounded upon the drowsy ear Of
night as the sucldcst sprang to meet her fate,
but no parting waves received an unloveIy

down she came thump into the fisherman $
caLoc. Up sprang the startled surgcouist, but
finding the visitation was not from scaly IN
habitant of the Vastly deep, but a woman there
fore to be woed he undertook a few, mild per.
suasions to induce her to ioreeo her fell dc
signs, and at last succeeded in his desires; for
though whispering, she would nc'er consent,
she finally conscnted-to be rowed ashore and
deposited upon .crra firma, aud thence return
ed to her abode wiser, and, it is TO be hoped,
better woman.
