Yet his heart is all g!adness;

And welcome him home:
What statesman or ruler,

That he calls his. own?
Love lightens each burden,
And brightens each burden,
If only the dear ones y

HUNTING FOR HIMsnLF 1.-The Gree

day: sa5 70 Il % thf' b4o# 90.
The ludicrous spectacle Of "a: man
looking for himself and suffering the
keenest chagrin ut failing to- find
himself, was exhibited on the Union
Pacific Railroad not long ago. An
castcrn.bound train stopped at Rock
Creek station for breakfast One EN-
igrantF strayed away, and the first
section Of the, train started, without
him. He reached the second on time
and managed to get away. His
friends in the first section missed
him. and were seized with aadread
that he bad been killedodTh he econ,
ductor telegraphed to the second sta
ton to look for him and bring. him
or his body to Fort laramie. The
passengers turned ont readily to- aid
in the search. Foremost among them
and displaying. a terrible anxiety was
|the man for whom they were looking.
He hunted for the missing emigrant
with a zeal which could only be &C
counted for by the fact-unknown to
him-that he was looking for him
self. During the whole day and fol.
lowing night the searcl. was con.
tinued. When lie reached Laramie
the idea occurred to his friends that
the railroad, employees might still
be looking for the missing emigrant
when one bright individual startled
the crowd with the remark that OH
hero had been looking for himself

Kellogg and His Usurpation.

The Chicago Tribune, one Of the
ablest and most pronounced Republi.
can journals, thus holds forth on
Kellogg and the tricks Of his whole
political family: ''@ -
The Warmoth Canvassing Board
in 1872, upon being enjoined by
Judge Durell retained possession Of
the official returns of the election of
1872. The Kellogg Government has
tried every means during the last two
years to recover possession of them,
but has never succeeded. Their
place of deposit has been kept q Sc
cret, but it is supposed they have
been hidden Louisville, Nashville,
Baltimore, or elsewhere in the South
certainly outside of Louisiana
When the Democratic. Legislature
wants them they will be forthcom-
ing. When the Democratic Legis!a-
ture canvasses the returns, Of course
it will appear that McEnery was
elected Governor in 1872 and not
Kellogg, and that all the officers who
have been serving for two years were
never elected. Having declared this
result, McEnery will be recognized
as Governor by the Legislature, and
Kellogg will be treated as an usurp-
er, and busted.
In view Of this inevitable train OF
circumstances, Kellogg's friends are
appealing to Congress to interfere in
advance, and by some measure, re-
cognize the Kellogg Government as
the only legitimate Government Of
the State. Exactly how Congress is
to do this we do not. In 1873 the
House Of Representatives admitted
three members of Congress who were
elected with Kellogg. The Kellogg
Legislature elected Pinchback to the
Senate, but that body refused to ad;
NIT him. It is now proposed that
the Senate shall admit Pinchback
and thus have, the qnasi recognition
by that body Of the legality OF. the
Kellogg Legislature. No act Of Con
gress-that is to say, act Of legisla
tion-is proposed. .~iaa
! Here we have a complication il
which Kellogg and his, associates
seek to involve the Republican part!
Of the country. The contemplate,
proceedings by the Democrats Of th,
Louisiana Legislature are undoubt
eddy fagitious, wholly indefensib1e
but are they without precedent? Ho,
did the Kellogg Legislature act tw
years ago, when they invoked tn
judiciary and the Federal troops t.
!! install themselves Il n power, an,
when the Legislature elected every
body who was an obstacle to thei
supremacy !;
AS we said few days ago, W
