Another Fire.

The grocery house, bar-room and ten
pin alley belonging to Mr.. J. IT. Nc
Ginnis, and occupied by Mr.. Jno. Col
Inns, was set on fire last night, about
one o'clock, and was consumed with
all of its contents. The fire was started
in the inside, two hours after the house
was closed. A back window was found
open, but all the doors We're closed.
The large frame building Of Mr.. Hewson
caught on the roof and burnt half an
hour, but was speedily cxtinguished by
the Steamer, so soon as steam could be
raised, which, however, was not in s
minutes. Mr.. Collins was insured for
$500, about half the value of his stock
and furniture. Mr.. McGinnis had no
insurance, and sustains loss of about
$4,000. Mr.. Hewson's house and furn.
iture We're damaged. Those who first
visited the fire saw coal oil ON the front
gallery floor. The firemen were prompt
ly at the scene, and went ut their work
with the skill of veterans. The hook
and ladder truck was not brought out.
Had it been, the Hewson house would
have been sooner cxtinguished.
Mr.. lIewson says he is satisfied that
n fire was also set in tho second story of
his house, as he found there, on the
first alarm, 4 lot of burning rags which
he threw out of the window.

RECOGNITION OF yALOR.

The House of Representatives on
Wednesday performed a very neat act
of justice to very worthy man in a
very satisfactory way. During the De-
Blanc rebellion in st. Martin last sum-
mer Justin Bronat, Il member of Cap
tain Phil Taylor's cavalry squad of the
Metropolitan Brigade, received Sc
we're wound, which crippled him for
life. For time, in fact, his life was
despaired of and the wounded man
was even reported dead. His life was
saved by skillful treatment, however,
and bill was introduced in The House
for his relief. Wednesday afternoon he
appeared on the floor of the House, in
company with General Badger. The
crippled veteran was warmly greeted
by the members, and the event was
signalized by Mr.. Martinez calling up
the bill, and under suspension OF the
rules, without opposition, it passed all
its readings in the House and was sent
to the Senate for concurrence. The act
appropriates the sum of $500. Such
action as this on the part of the Legis-
lature will do more to encourage men
to do their duty than all the congratu-
latory general orders in the world
N. O. Republican.
And such acts ought, also, to encour-
age the Fusionists who oppose a new
election.
And here is another item equally en-.
couraging, taken from the same paper
The Senate bill, relative to the mill
tia, providing, that parishes shall pay
expenses, when disturbances are sup
| pressed in them, was favorably report
ed on by the Committee on Militia, ant
passed.

BLOODY WORK IN MEXICO.

CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. ia terrible
affair is reported in the State of Vera
Cruz. Aquarrel between the townsmen
of Quimixitlan and Huasacala, which
resulted in a fight in which fifteen per-
sons were killed. It is reported that
the Infatuated Huasacalans afterwards
went to Quimixitlan and began an in
discriminate massacre killing children
and cutting off the breasts of women.
The neighboring town of Chalchucom-
ula has sent a detachment of military
to the scene to put stop to the atroci-
ties.
The police have arrested forty-seven
bandits implicated in kidnapping
Senior Salvatierra. A large ransom
was demanded for the prisoner, which
was not forthcoming, and the unfortu-
nate man was murdered.

That the gentlemen who compose
the so-called Fusion or Democratic, or
a1nalganation or Bourbon, or Warmoth
party, are earnest in their endeavors,
we will not question, and if it is not
that the interests of every good man in
the State Of Louisiana were involved,
we would be inclined to indulge in a
hearty laugh ut the funny endeavors OF
would-be office-holders to ovcrturn the
State government of which Governor
kellogg ia the head.-iH,erpo1 7;le-
gram.
Our contemporary should not suffer sc
small matter rs "tf,e interests OF every
good man in the State" to deprive him
Of ''a hearty laugh.''

DURELL'S CASE.

A Washington dispatch furnishes the
following in regard to the case of
Judge Durell
Access has been had to the Durell
testimony; it covers $50 pages, and has
been referred to Wilson and Eltridge for
analysis and condensation. Proceed
ings in bankruptcy and Judge Durelps
personality cover many pages. In the
matter OF the great Federal order
which placed the State Government of
Louisiana in the hands of Kellogg,
Messrs. Packard, Beckwitf, and Bill
ings swear they had no intimation OF
the order. Billings wrote the order
from dictation. 1t was afterwards copied
by clerk and signed by Judge Durell.
Marshal Packard took the order to the
ST.. Louis Hotel, where he saw Gen.
Emory, and afterwards placed it in the
hands of a committee. There is no
return upon 1t, and the State-House, so
far as shown by the records of the court,
is still virtually in the hands of the
Federal authorities.
Marshal Packard, however, shortly
after the Kellogg Government was in
stalled upon verbal order, withdrew
his deputies and military posse. 1t
may be stated that after the order and
action upon it, both parties abandoned
the court, making no motions for relief
or restraint before Judge Durell.

THE FLYING JENNY.

The manner Of promulgating the
laws, adopted by Mr.. Kellogg, is very
much like the movement. of patent,
revolving ridy-horse. AS soon as one
title pony lopes by, here comes
another; and SO, some official journal
is publishing the laws every month in
the year. Here is the Republican pub
fishing the laws passed by the Kellogg
Assembly, this year, and the Madison
journal publishing those enacted last
year. THE Journal, although ~ months
behind the Republican, will be sending
out next February the very same laws
the Republican is printing now. By
this arrangement, any citizen can have
his laws any month in the year he
chooses: he can, take them with his
asparagus, his ripe corn, with the first
frost, or the last freeze, and the success
sion is so arranged, that no man need
be without either the new, or the old,
or both together, if he prefers it.
While this revolving season of laws is
going on, so grateful to the eye, the
perfection Of the arrangement is further
shown by a nice regard for the sense of
hearing-the music never stops. 1t
may, occasionally, fall to dimuendo
such as ssBillie in the Low-grounds''-
but then it will rise to strain of exul-
tation,: such as the celebrated Pump
Handle opera but, still, the grinding
never ceases. We have not been out o.
hearing of music within IA months
But what gratifies us more, is the fact
that under Warmoth's regulations, thi.
entire exhibition lasted but a few
weeks; while Mr.. Kellogg, rs HI
promised, has reformed Warmoth'
abuses, and the performance continue
q tweIve-months, with n liberal in
fringement on the second twelve; 81
that, no one is annoyed by intermissions
or by the cessation Of symphonies il
the orchestra. 1t is thus that the "Gov
ernor" provides for the enjoyment ant
prosperity OF his people, and becomes, i,
deed, as in professions, the benefacto,
Of his State. A people so liberally
provided with laws, and with lin
newspapers, ought to be extremely
happy. ..

LOUISIANA AIN CONGRESS-.

The Daily Nicksburger, in reviewing
the dcplorable condition of Louisiana,
has the following comments upon the
action of Congress:
The utility of ssmastcrly inactivity"
i'll this particular instance is we'll
known and appreciated at the Capital
by the Rcdical leaders, aud as it is to
them an easy solution in their favor,
arc now: and have been for weeks, dill
ligently doing nothing in the matter.
They discuss Mr.. Pinckback's right to
Il seat in the Senate; they weigh the
question carefully; they make speeches
pro and con, and they do nothing.
They discuss the Louisiana admi MIS-
tration; they decide it to be Il fraudu-
lent one; they discuss the election
question; they cause tue public jour-
nails to be full Of guesses about the prob
abilities ofwhat will or will not be done;
they talk about the best and fairest
way to hold the election, they discover
Il way to hold it that will be satisfacto-
ry to both parties and to the country,
! but when they come to the point to in
augurate the legislation, they do noth-
ing. They arc only in earnest to ear
nestly avoid any real action In the
! matter. When their leading organ the
New York Times, said the question
would be decided by parliamentary
delay, it only told the plain simple fact,
and struck the real key note of tho great
Radical party.

Monroe and Bastrop road is disgrace
to Ouachita and Norehouse parishes,
and that our Police Jury must have
but little pride to suffer this road to be
in such condition so near Monroe.
The censure is rather ssprevious." Our
Police Jury is at present engrossed in
the Agricultural College business, and
no one but NIorehouse man would
want road, before he got !: college,
especially when q college can be built
for $40, 900, with expenses added.

The reason the stock of the Texas
Central is worth five for one, is this !:
The original Stockholders have had to
pay in only $SOO,oOO to build the road
That is all they have had to invest.
The stock is now worth eight millions
of dollars. There are only twenty
seven stock holders, six of whom own
the greater part of the road. The ques-
ton has often been asked, and great
deal of surprise eVinced that the Gem
trail has never declared a dividend. The
reason for this, is the fact, that all the
earnings of the road have been used in
paying debts they had contracted in
building. No other road in the coun-
try eau make a showing like this
Dallas Commercial.

The President in communicating to
Congress, the report of the Centennial
Commission, says a failure in this en-
terprise would be deplorablc. Success
can be assured by arousing public opin-
ion to the Importance of the occasion.
To secure this end i'll his jugdment, Con-
gressional legislation is necessary to
make the Exposition both national and
international.

THE LOUISIANA QUESTION---DEMO.
CRATIC PROGRAMME.
New York Herald

New York Herald.
It is understood that the following
plan of action has been agreed upon by
the Democratic Senators in regard to
Louisiana matters: One of their num-
Der will, when the question is again
brought before the Senate, offer as an
an amendment or a substitute for Mr..
Carpenters bill providing for a new
election, a resolution looking to the re-
cognition of the McEnery Government
as the government elected by the peo-
pie of Louisiana. Should this fail the
Democrats say they will have acquitted
themselves of their first duty, and will
then support Mn Carpenters bill as
the only measure for the practical re-
lief of she people Of that State. It is
argued by the Democratic Senators that
the McEnery government is the only
legal government, and if the Senate
should refuse to recognize this fact,
there would then be, in their opinion,
no legal government in Louisiana, and
it would be their solemn duty to afford
! the people of Louisiana the means for
establishing a legal government.
This disposseses the matter of the bug
| bear of Federal interference, which has
| worried some Of the State rights advo-
Gates and makes the united action OF
| the democracy more Imperative. Sup>
porting them in the view only that
! there is no legal government in Louis
ana are more than enough Republican
Senators to carry the measure through.

Queen Victoria is gradually recov-
ering from the greif of widerhood. For
n long time after the death of the Prince
Consort she could not bear to touch a
piano, nor did she even allow one to be
opened in her presence. Now she has
resumed her old accomplishment, and
plays duets with her last remaining
daughter, the Princess Beatrice; and
Gounod has arranged some Of the music
of "Jeanne dare" as n duet for the
Queen and her daughter.

n NeW OrleatS utSpatth 70 INC " asi1l-
ington Republican says
OF the six daily papers published in
this city, in English, French and Ger

proves Of any feature of the funding

\ QUESTION OF FACT.

Gov. McIInery closed n recent letter
to b. +. Jonas, ESQ, with the following
postscript:
p. S.-We ascertained Mt New York
that Mr. Kellogg, during his visit to
that city last summer, made overtures
to n representative of certain capitalists
(Which were Indignantly rejected)
looking to the formation of ring to
make money in Louislana-where he
said plenty Of money could thus be
made. Ourinformant, = gentleman of
high financial and social position offers
to substantiatc this allegation before
any committee of investigation that
may have Jurisdiction of the matter.
JNo. NICE.
Mr.. Kellogg, seeing this accusation,
has published a card in which he says :
desire to say that the statement re-
ferring to me in this postscript is u6so.
lutely .talse, and challenge the produc-
ton of any "gentleman of high finan-
cial and social position" who will sub
stantiate tho same.
Gov. McEnery's language, as we'll rs
his character, leave no doubt that he
heard what he states and had authority
to make use of tho statement. Mr..
Kellogg will not, we imarin be long
waiting for the name of his accuser.

A NEW ELECTION.

Our brother of the Richland Beacon1
has run up at his masthead the words,
uOfacial Journal of the Parish" The
Delhi Chronicle of the same date of the
Beacon from which we gather this in
telligence,- informs us that the Beacon
was the first paper in the State to adj
vocate Col. McEnery's claims as a can
lidate for Governor. And the editor
of the Chronicle, who then edited the
Beacon, speaks as follows regarding a
new election:
We have no AK to grind, and there
fore, unhesitatingly and unequivocally
protest against the new election move
ment, in the name of the planters, who
do not want their hands demoralfzed by
an exciting political campaign while
they are struggling to make a crop tln-
der the disadvantages Of financial
panic. @ 80
Our contemporaries have right to
their opinions, and to the selection OF
whatever remedies they may consider
will result in the greatest ultimate good
to the State, but, like the Chronicle,
s.having no AK to grind" we protest
against such an emphatic use of the
preponderating class of voters known
as planters, in the effort to prevent a
new election, and, necessarily, the
overthrow of the Kellogg usurpa.ion.
So far as we know, the planters are
favorable to new election. They
know that an election must be held in
November, any way, and that the
campaign will begin in the very heat
and midst of farming operations. They
know, also,-or ought to know, if theil
opinion Is Of any value-that a new
election will hardly be conducted by
Kellogg and his tools, but that an
election under State laws, WILL. They
know-or ought to know-that an cleo.
ton under Kellogg will be tantamount
to the perpetuity OF the Kellogg fraud.
They know that an election under
Federal auspices is precisely what the
originators and beneficiaries of this
enormous fraud are working night and
day to prevent. They know that q
government OF blacks, such az tie Kel-
logg government is, will be the ruin OF
the State and the eventual and total
failure of whatever struggles and in
ves.u4 ents they may make to build NJ
homes in louisiana. ..-r ~
But suppose they do not know these
facts, is it the part of wise statesman
ship for those who arc not planters, but
have personal and political rights, son!
who are to be men and daughters wht
are to become matrons-who have
as strong ties binding them to thei
native soil rs if they planted each on,
thousand acres-to yield II great princi
pie, involving all their interests, (quitt
as precious as bales Of cotton and bnsf
els OF corn,) because the making of 8
crop may be jeopardized if they persist
in denouncing, opposing and fighting
this great outrage on Republican insti-
tutfOnSr
