A. "Somethiug will surely be

compelled to resign, or Congress
will kick him out by an impeach.
ment or resolution. Col. Norton
will hang with him. He don't care
much about a new election, but

THE FEELING NORTH.
Q. "What is the feeling North
about the Louisiana case?"
A. every one is in favor ofsome-
thing being done. Congressman are
in favor of it, because their people at
home want something done. All feel
that the Kellogg Government is an
outrage and usurpation, and the
only question is, what is the best for
the people Of Louisiana. Something
certainly will be done.
The press, the people and Congress
demand it. What that is and when
it will be realized are open for de-
bate, and it may be some weeks be-
fore any action is taken, but when it
lis, it will be definite and decided. I
am convinced that the present state
of affairs will not be allowed to re-
main"

THEsp1ANs. - We acknowledge the
reception of Complimentary Ticket,
at the hands of the Business Mana
ger of the Benefit for the Colfax
Prisoners. By the time our paper
reaches its readers the benefit will be
over, and we sincerely trust in our
next to announce that the charity call
of our Alexandria young men, aided
and assisted by two talented and
kind-hearted ladies, will have been
nobly responded to, and glad and
substantial tidings waited to our
unfortunate and prosecuted friends,
who are lingering in the Federal Bas-
tile, on Orleans street, New Orleans.
If our wishes fail us, it will be the
maiden failure of Rapides' true peo-
pie. Our word for it Alexandria will
have done her duty in full and with
out stint.

u We are more than pleased to
announce that our young townsman,
Jack Goulden, who thus far has hung
out his modest shingle as House, Sign
and Ornamental Painter, now turns
out to be Scenic Artist Of no mean
pretensions. As a good citizen and
true to his people, he has directed
his new talent in sketching and
painting Drop Curtain and Wood
scene for the Thespian Association,
and especially for the benefit of the
Colfax Prisoners. And we can, in
our humble judgment, compliment
him in his maiden work, and give
the public assurance that this new
debut of his fully proves he is a tai
ented and tasty artist. who can and
will succeed in his humble efforts to
make. bread and meat and earn an
honest livelihood. Such men-work-
ers as Jack are bound to make their
mark-never say fail and put to blush
the non-producers and drones, who
infest our beautiful and great Parish:

THE LATEST.

OF certain political puudits hefea-
bouts, Governor Warmoth return
ed to this city on Friday morning,
at 4 o'clock, by the jackson Rail-
road, and Immediately drove to his
residence, on Camp street, where
he was shortly afterwards waited
upon by Picayune reporter, and a
conversation opened on current
events. OF course, the universal
subject of a new election came up,
and in reply to a query, if he
thought it would take place, he
replied:
ayes, doubtless it would. If the
question could come to a vote it
would positively do so. All the
efforts of the opposition were now
engaged in postpoaing the matter.
though what they had said would
not amount to much, as it is believ-.
ed Carpenter will urge his bill
through the Senate, and when it
comes to the House will then be
taken up and bravely supported
by Butler and Others"
Q.-"What is the principal oppo-
sition to the bill 2"
A.-"Nearly all of the Congress-
men think that there should be a
new election, but Gov. Kellogg. has
sent on dispatches, without num-
Der, to almost every Senator and
member of Congress, stating that
the people in the State do not want
a new election. He has also tele-
grabbed that the Chamber of Com
merce, merchants, Co ton Ex-
change, bankers, and all principal
citizens are opposed to new elec-
ton; and he has stated that every
one of the Fusion members who
were entitled to it could have
sought and obtained admittance
into his Legislature except one, aud
he is under an indictment, and can
not. Believing this, many Of the
members are of course willing to
abide by what they believe the peo-
pie want, and will oppose a new
election"
! @. "What would you do in such
a case ?"
A. II would at once advise a SOL
emn protest against these state
ments. Let people, the merchants
and others, in a mass meeting show
them to be false, and if the people
North are at once convinced these
are untruths, they will never be-
lieve the author of them again, and
it will greatly add to our chances
for a new election

il is now further proclaimed that Gen.
eral Sherman and his staff will remove
to that city on the first of June. No
definite reason fer this change has been
given, further than that General Sher-
man has long desired the change. The
Detrsit Free Press Of the 18th inst,
however, assigns q cause which may or
may NOT be true, but which We give
for what it is worth.
The mention Of General Sherman rs
a probable candidate for the presidency
in 1876, is not new to the people. It
has even been said that the president
favored the candidacy of Sherman and
that in case Of his succession to Grant,
seat, it had been arranged that the lat
ter should resume his old position of
general Of the army.
The Detroit Free Press affrms by
implication that President Grant is
jealous Of General Sherman's popular
ity, and that his sanction of the re.
moyal Of the headquarters Of the army
from Washington to st. Louis is but
one Of long series of annoyances 10
which Sherman has been subjected by
Grants jealousy Of him as possibly the
next president. d
Until General Sherman was pro-
NOTED to the head of the army, it had
been the custom of all army officers to
report to the secretary Of war. This,
General Sherman, with tho sanction of
President Grant, changed. Army off.
GERS were required to report to the head
Of the army "to avoid the absurdity of
general commanding the army with
his chief staff officers reporting to some
body else" Shortly after Mr.. Belk.
nap was made secretary of war, he d.
rected that the oldeorder of things
should be resumed. President Grant
acquiesced, it is believed not averse to
seeing Sherman, the popular soldier
and man, aud his probable rival in
1876, Inundated and annoyed. An
estrangement has grown up between
them, and the removal Of the army
headquarters to st. Louis is said to be
simply move on the part Of the pres
ident to degrade and annoy General
Sherman. If this is the secret history
of the removal of Sherman to st. Louis,
the palpable injustice to him will not
cause him to suffer in the estimation of
the people.
