The Louisiana Election Troubles.

CINCINNATI, December 15.-The
Times New Orleans special says that at
the mass meeting of the people Of Caddo
and Summer Grove parishes, it was re-
solved to refuse employment to every
Radical, black or white, and to refuse the
countenance Of any planter or merchant
who gives aid or comfort in any manner
to the same, In Caddo it was also re-
solved that the white people of Caddo
parish declare that they intend to be
bound alone by the verdict of the people
expressed at the ballot box. They pro-
claim their fixed purpose to install into
Office, on the 1st of January, 1875, all
officers elected in this parish whether
they are so returned by the Returning
Board or not, and they call upon other
parishes, particularly in Northern Louis
lana, to take similar action, pledging
them their assistance.

THE FINANCE BILL.

AS finally patched up in the Senate
yesterday, the finance bill is a sort of
triangular compromise between Eastern
capital, Western want of capital, and
the Radical party in charge of the Fed
eral Treasury. Unable to stem the
West and South, the East has driven a
clese bargain The original title of the
bill called for free banking, but it will
puzzle the wisest to find anything in
this bill savoring of free banking. On
the contrary, it increases the national
bank monopoly. The amount
of the imitation is ninety
millions-forty-four millions in
greenbacks and forty-six in national
bank notes. OF the greenbacks, how
ever, twenty-six millions have already
been absorbed in the effort to help the
reyenuesinmeeting the heeStraYaganeesof
Radicalism. The inhationists have Sc
cured morepaper. Thenational banks get
more double interest circulation. And
a Radical Treasury is left at liberty to
squander the forthcoming sixty-four
millions, as it has already squandered
twenty-six millions. And yet the peo-
pie are not happy

APPRECIATIVE.

AS it may be the last chance we have,
and the major domo is off to Murfrees-
boro. we seize this opportunity for
smuggling into these columns the fol
lowing tribute from that prince of diet
tanti, the Lebanon Herald:
'We welcome, with sincere and hearty
pleasure, the return of Mai. Harry Heiss to
Tennessee and to Tennessee Journalism.
He has resigned his position as managing
editor Of the st. Louis Times and
will take control, in the same ca
paclty, of the UNION AND AMERICAN.
Maj. Heiss was for number of years
the principal working editor of the Nash
cute BUIneT, and gave to that paper a
sparkling freshness, vitality and vim which
have not since distinguished it. The in
huence of his presence at the head of the
UNION AND AMERICAN staffwill be marked
and immediate. He is, by odds, the
most thoroughly accomplished newspaper
man in Tennessee, or, indeed, with the ex-
ception of Henry Watterson, in the South
and the pleasure which is caused by his
return is equal to the regret which his de-
parture Occasioned us
Personally considered, it has not
been our lot to know a perfecter
specimen of mankind than Harry
Heiss. Honorable, chivalrous, filed with
generous impulses, quick in resentment of
wrong and prompt in its denunciatiOn,
warm in his attachments and steadfast in
friendship, urbaRe, courteous and dignifed,
he will be as appreciable and valuable an
addition to Tennessee society as to Ten
hessee journalism"

GOOd-Bye, Oyerbv,

W. D. Kellett, Sheriff of Chattooga
county, Ga, reached Nashville yesterday
and will start on his return home this
morning, taking with him the young man
OVERLY and the girl the latter brought with
him, Miss Lizzie Cox, and to whom he
claimed to be married.
Sheriff Kellett says that OVERLY has been
working for Mr.. Hicks, a boot and shoe
dealer, fifteen miles from Somerville, Ga,
for nearly two years, and that he is a first
class workman and highly respected in that
neighhOrhood. He formerly lived in East
Tennessee, and it is reported that he has a
wife living there, besides having another in
Georgia.
A few days before he ran away with Liz
Zie Cox, he told a son of his employer that
his (Overby's) father had been compelled to
pay out So on account of a shooting scrape
he (Overby) had got into in Murray county,
Ga; that he would like to borrow that sum
to pay his father, and that while he was in
Murray county, he would like to buy some
clothing for himself and wife. Young
Hicks thereupOn loaned him S25 in money
and gave him boots and shoes TO sell TO the
amount of Sl0.5O.
The next morning he got horse and
buggy, had negro drive with him a short
distance, then left the negro with the horse
while he went back, pretending he had left
a coat. When he returned he came from
an opposite direction, took charge of the
horse and buggy and sent the negro back
home. The next day suspicious were
aroused and kilograms were sent to various
points, Nashville among them. In the
meantime Mr.. Hicks had tracked him to
Rome and there lost all trace of him.
When he returns home, OVERLY will be
held upon the following charges: Aban-
doning his wife, abducting a young girl. and
disposing of horse and buggy which did
not belong to him. The latter he had bor-
rowed, and although be claimed he owned
the horse (Which he sold at Rome, Ga..)
another party had lien on him.

A BALD MOUNTAIN "MIRACLE.s

According to the statement of Miles
Higgins 20 the correspondent of the
Raleigh Nelos, the reported earthquake
prayers sent up by fervent Baptist
preacher. Mr.. Higgins Is thus report
edi
1t was about three days before the
fret shock that notice was sent over
that Rev. Posey OIensbyi sort of a
Baptist preacher that lived on the
mountain, would commence a revival
of religion at the school-house on a cer-
tain night. He came but met only a
slim congregation. He kept up his re-
vival three days and nights without
getting up the Slightest excitement.
On the night of the 9th of February
he made long and fervent prayer, in
which he said, 20 Lord, for three days
and nights hath Thy servant endeavor-
ed in vain to move the strong hearts of
this wicked people. Now; we beseeOh
Thee that Thou weuldst; in thy great
and omnipotent power, e;.ase the
mountain to shake and tremble beneath
their feet, that they might be brought
to 5ohscI0usness Of Thy power and
wrath" etc. The people stih remained
unmoved, but at the hour of ten O'Clock
next day the mountains shook and
trembled beneath the feet of the peo-
pie. The Reverend Posey was at work
clearing up new ground, when the
shocks came, enc after. another. Hur-
rying to the house he told the old
woman to make all possible speed, fof
an immediate evacuation. When the
sun rose next morning Bald Mountain

THE JOLLY SHERMAN AND THE
FACETIOUS BUTLER.

While the South Carolina delegation
of tax p ayers were junketing about
Washington and visiting the political
celebrities, they called upon Sherman
and Butler. A correspondent of the
Charleston Nelrs and Courier describes
the visit as follows.
1T will doubtless surprise most of
your readers to hear that among the
pleasantest of the many interviews
which the delegates have had here with
public men were those with Gen. VIM.
Tecumseh Sherman and Gen. Benjamin
F. Butler. Sherman was IN a particu-
larly good humor when visited, and in
dulged freely in jokes and reminis-
cences of Sulivan's island in the olden
time.
There were several of the delegates
with whom he had formerly been ac-
quainted, and as he stood pleasantly
chatting with them it was hard to real
ize that the hero of Columbia was be-
fore us. Ben. Butler was very cordial;
said that he knew things were very bad
in South Carolina, and promising that
when the memorial comes before the
Judiciary Committee of the House it
should have fair showing. This may
mean a great deal, or it may mean
nothing at ALL He said that whenev-
er he tried tOdo anything for the South,
some busybody in that part of the coun-
try would forthwith mail him a
scrap of newspaper telling what some
body or other at the South had said
about him.
He is beginning to think that it
would be a good thing for the country
if three or four of the Republican ed
itors of the South were hanged. He ac-
tually could not cross the floor of the
House of Representatives to talk to
Young, of Georgia, without people re-
that Butler is getting too in
innate with the id Rebels The
turned on the prospect of
getting the black voters interested In
reform, when one of the delegates de-
spOndingly assured the General that he
had made twenty-three speeches In the
reform canvass to meetings of his fel-
low citizens. Every speech had been
with vociferous demOnstra-
tons of applause and sympathy; but
when the polls were opened not five re-
form niggers could be found anywhere.
'Ah,' slyly replied the Essex states
man, i see how 1T is. 1t was all be-
cause you gentlemen willinsist on SPELL
ing nigger with two g's.' The visit
was not time lost, by any means.
