The Last Move OF the McEBery LegisIa-
ture-Telegram Laid Before
Congress.
Bold and Fearless Arrangement OF
Federal UsurpatiOn Laid on the
Table In the Senate.

WASHINGTON. January S.-The chair
laid before the senate the following tele-
gram from a committee of the McEnefy
| legislature of Louisiana:
To Hon. NJ. C. Carpenter, President OF the
senate, and Hon. J. q. Blaine, speaker Of
the House Of Representative:
The legal legislature OF this State
assembled to-day in obedience to our
organic law. We beg you to lay before
your respective bodies the circumstances
under which we meet. The orders Of
the general commanding this depart
ment, a statement OF which we trans
nit herewith, who is acting under in
structions from the federal govern-
ment, are of such character as to pre-
vent large portion of our body from
taking part in this assemblage. Were
these orders withdrawn, and our people
assured that no interference would be
made, we would be at once placed in a
condition to discharge the duties resting
upon US. We earnestly beg that con-
gress, in the exercise of its constitutions
al powers, will afford US such relief as
the nature Of the case may require. We
are the victims OF a dreadful oppression.
The powers Of government here have
been taken from the representatives
elected by the people, and given to a
body of men who cannot even pretend
to have been elected. We make this
appeal not only in the interest of our
own people, but in the interest of the
people OF all the States, and in the inter
est Of public liberty. Our liberties have
been destroyed by the action of federal
court, supported by the army of the
United States. Will not the guarantee
article in the constitution enable you to
protect us? Judge Storey has predicted
that the erection of a despotism in one
of the States will bring on the destrue-
ton of the whole republic.
On behalf Of the forty-fOur representa-
tives and twenty senators of Louisiana
in general assembly.

that men in New Orleans had sent tele-
grams here. He moved that it be laid
on the table. Adopted by SO to %.

Six Million Tran saetiUR Of the Nash
vile. Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway - Mission OF
State Officers.

From the Nashville Banner.
Comptroller Burch ard Major Wilkes,
secretary to the governor, returned here
yesterday from New York, whittier they
went about ten days ago to transact
business in which the State and the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis
railway were interested parties. The
heavy payment made by that line to the
State has already been published in the
Banner, but there are some additional
facts concerning the mammoth trans
action that will bear noticing
now. That company, as hereto
fore stated, retired its entire in
debtedness created by the purchase
of the Northwestern road, TO the State,
by the payment of 81, 10, 600 in bonds,
and S245, 7C0 in past due coupons, max
ing total of 81 AIS, 100. In addition to
this, it has paid over to the State S375,-
O89 50 in bonds of the State, in satisfac-
tiOn of the debt due from it on account
OF bonds loaned it. 1t has also, under
an act of the Legislature providing for
such an arrangement, paid over to the
State 81 ,425, 600 of the first-moTtgage
bonds of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis railway lconsOlidated) for
the bonds of the company indorsed by
the State. Tuese transactions have re-
duced the State debt 50, ,215, 7S9, and, be-
sides, retired the entire secOnd-mOrtgage
bonded debt of the Nashville, Chatta-
noOga and st. Louis railway, amounting
TO S3,0O0,0Q0 And now the COM
pany has out only one series of
first-mortgage bonds, which will
rank among the first in the country. 1t
being required by enactment, the So, ,OO0,-
000 of second-mortgage- bonds were
counted and cancelled by Governor
Brown and Major Wilkes, at New York,
last Friday, the whole day being re-
quired in the performance of that duty.
The bonds paid over to the State for
the Northwestern road were received
here. Thirteen hundred of the bonds,
or 81 300, 900, paid in the cancellation Of
the debt of the company, were cancelled
here yesterday by Major Wilkes. Ma
jOr Wilkes says that New Workers ex-
press great confidence in Tennessee
bonds, aud regard them as good an in
vestment as most other bonds put upon
the market

CUSHING.
Nomination for the Chief-J -Justieeship Of
the Great Massachusetts, Lawyer
Surprise, Etc.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-The NOM
inatiOn Of Caleb Gushing, to be chief
justice, OccasiOned much surprise in all
quarters to-day, and was a matter OF
astOnishment to himself, as he made
| arrangements to leave this country on
the tWenty-fourth instant for Madrid.
When General Bs.bcOck appeared at the
main door of the senate this evening,
announcing a message from the
President in writing, every eve
was turned upon him, as it was generally
believed the package he held in his
hand contained denomination for chief
justice.
Senator Conkling, who sits near the
middle aisle, intercepted the messenger
on his way to the desk, and taking the
list of nominations from him, hurriedly
glanced over them, exclaiming in a tone
loud enough to be heard in the galleries,
"Chief-justice." At this a large num-
Der of senators jumped from their seats
and gathered about him, and in a mo-
ment the name of Caleb Cushing was
audibly whispered from senator
to senator on the floor. Sena-
tor Thurman remained man animated
conversation with Senator Conkling for
some time, and Senator Sumner and
Secretary Boutwell, had their heads to-
gether; and an unusual hum Of CONVEX
satiOn on the floor indicated that the
nomination created quite a sensation.
In view of the reports heretofore preva-
lent as to the nomination of Senator
Morton for .chiefjustice, it is proper to
say that he was neither consulted nor
rendered the appointment.

Have You Ever Seen Jones?

1t was only two days ago Jones was in
judiciously full. Being painfully aware
of his inebriety, he endeavored to con-
ceal it from the public by buttoning his
coat up very closely imparting an abnor-
NAL stiffness to his knees, and tripping
over his own heels He stalked up to a
street car, walked -briskly in just as the
horse started forward and instantly
tumbled out backward without unbend-
ing a muscle Straightway he recovered
the upright, splashed with mud, and re-
entered, seating himself beside an ac-
quaintance, making no sign of his mis-
hap. Presently he turned to this individ-
ual and queried:
"KhshnY'
mo"
He considered a moment and then
asked:
"OffetrackY'
NO"
More ehection-sleepily, then;
"Runoverprespice?9
"No."
l"SplozhnT'
mo"
Somnolent cogitation.
"Any acc dent?
mot at all.
He took this piece of information into
his intellectual maw, and, digesting it,
concluded that he must be very drunk
indeed. Anxious to cover up the dis
graceful fact, and turn the matter off re-
specially, he shortly turned again with
the bland observation:
"Well, if Id anone that, l woodena
got out"
He blinked off into an unconscious
state in little while, then woke up
with his eyes very wide open, to show
that he'd only been thinking, He rode
on about mile beyond his street, and
was finally taken home in hack.
