The Succession of Andrew johnson,
A few days since the news was received

The Succession OF Andrew Johnson.
A few days since the news was received
that Governor Porter, of Tennessee, had
appointed D. N. Key, Of Chattanooga, to
the Senatorship made vacant by the death
OF Andrew johnson, but no further particu-
lars were received. A dispatch from Nash
vile, Tennessee, to the Chicago Times con.
tains more information:
Keys career is briefly told. He is about
hfty-one years old, was born in Green IAN.
drew JOhnsOn'sJ county, brought ND in
BlOunt, and went to Chattanooga to prac.
tice law, where he has lived ever since. He
was lieutenant colonel OF an East Tennessee
regiment in the Confederate ser rice, and
before the war was presidential elector for
his district. He was an active and promi-
nent member of the State constitutional con.
veption in 1870 with Governor Porter; was
elected chancellor OF the Chattanooga
chancery district at the last general cleo
ton, and has been attentively engaged on
the bench eince, commanding the admira-
ton Of the bar by his dignity and able deci-
sioDs. He ran for Congress as the nominee
Of the Democratic party in 1872, and was
defeated by split caused by Johnson's
candidacy for the State at large. Crutch-
cit, was eiested over him. Key lie man of
modest, dignifed bearing, and never open
to the charge Of office seeking. His friends
always did the seeking. He received few
complimentary votes IL the great senatorial
contest last winter, but was not candidate.
Governor Porter said to night that Keys
name was infnentially urged for the ap-
pointment from all East Tennessee, but all
bis friends had observed the utmost pro-
priety in prosecuting his claims. The ap-
pOin,ee is clear headed. firm. and of &C
knOwledged ability. There is outcome in
him: and the apo ntment will give salts
faction.

severe cnts were discovered on his forehead.
evidently inflicted with q knife, one on the
right arm and two very ugly wounds in the
back. Close under the chin the flesh
was cut clean across seemingly BY q
razor. Proceeding to the spot where
the cars first came in contact with the
body no blood was found upon the
track, which most undoubtedly would have
been the case had the cars destroyed his
life. Outside ct the track at the bntt of a
large cross lie was pool OF blood which
appeared to be of some standing. The cor
oner held an inquest, and in view of the
train of suspicious circumstances pointing
to the three who were last seen in company
with the deceased, the coroner made the
charge of murder against John Sanders,
Columbus Garden and Reese. All three are
now confined in the parish jail. Reserving
our opinion of them, we will await the trial,
and in the meantime promise our readers
full particulars of any new light that may
be developed.

Strange Disease In jacksonville, Florida .

StRaD8o OlooASe IN sf0CkSonv0Ie, NlOHl00 ,
Tho Pensacola Gazette contains an item
Of strange and alarming interest. 1t an.
nouncas that 2 peculiar disease, at first re.
ported to be yellow fever. but subsequently
found to have none Of the symptoms Of
that disease. has broken ont among tn q
butchers At Jacksonville, in that State.
None but butchers are afil ieted with it.
The only cause assigned for its appearance Q
is the "malarions nature of the market
premises" This is all very we'll, but what
are the customers Of these infected butch.
ers buying? New Orleans complained bit
terly a short time ago, through Sanitary H.
spector Dr.. Newman, Of the condition of =
portion Of tho French Market, and it vas
partially remedied. Bat that nuisance did
not get so bad that the butchers got sick.
If it had been 70, there would have been
an exodus from that vicinity. Tho Gazette
further says: "The authorities decide to
isolate the premises and denolish the prem
ises after FROST" WOuldn'e it be tho best
plan to take thess measures before frost!
As only butchers are affected just now, it
would be visa to protect their customer
by shuttins the stable door in time.

Educational.

Under the provisions of section seven
act No. l22, session Of 1874, State Superin
tendent w. G. Brown has appointed O.
McLaren superintendent of school land fol-
| the second eche0l division, and A. Z. Livau
| dais for the frat.
Tho section referred Il provides for the
appointment Of q person of legal attain
to examine notes duo and other assets
arising out of purchase Of lands granted to
educational purposes; 20 recover lands i'm
properly held and revenues diverted. and
generally to protectithe school interests in
matters appertaiBing thereto. He shall be
paid com mission on moneys recovered not
exceeding ten per cent, and on the value Of
lands and other property recovered not OK.
ceeding Eve per cent.
70 all acquainted with che scheo1 intes-
ests Of the State the selection Of these Off
GERS will be gratifying intelligence, for it
is notorious that largo bodies Of school
lands are now held by parties who possess
NO legal title, to the Serious depletion of ed,
ucationa1 revenues. 1t has been found
necessary to SECURE officers friendly to The
school work in order TO protect its inter-
ests in the premises, and hence a new Office
was created under the control of tho State
Superintendent to perform duties which
should have been, but were not IN many
instances, pc Informed by district attorneys.
The following, from the Catahoula News
Of the seventeenth instant, will serve TO
illustrate the condition Of seno Of the coup-
try parishes. it is 70 be remembered, how
ever, that the school board Of CatahOula is
an exception to che general rule in making
. praiseworthy effort to vindicate its rights.
After describing in detail the school lands
available in the parish, the Nsus says:
The above statistics show vast amount
of school land which has Been sold in years
past, on which the purchasers made cash
payments, buS the records fail to show that
the other installments have ever been paid.
and the balance due on these lands, as
shown by the face Of the papers, is about
$40 1000, exclusive of interest. We believe
number Of those sales we've annulled
by tho district attorney. At all events
the purchasers and parties living on
these lands would do well TO have their
titles quoted, as the school board il now
at work in che matter of school lands,
and will take steps to secure all that is
not already lost BY negligence and lapse of
time. Besides there arc $4,000 acres OF
school land in Catahoula parish yet unsold.
some of which 10 valuable land on which
parties are now living. Such parties would
serve their svH interest by securing a title
to their lands. Any such parties and all
persons knowing Of valuable information in
the matter of schoolilands will report it to
the committee on school lands. The school
lands, if properly managed, would be an
give the means TO furnish ell with good |
public education. The board mean bust

When Probabilities, in spite of the evil
weather he has inflicted on a confiding
people, announces that more clouds are ex-
pected the necessary thing is something to
read. Staub at Goldthwaite's, No. So Canal
street, has laid in q special supply of cheer
full documents particularly designed to re-
move all the blues the observation of the
sun will naturally cause. If everyone
reads Harper's, Leslie's, the Ledger, Satur-
day Night and Days Doings outside, they
can then go in and find all the magazines
lying on the counter, and Staub will sell
them at. dead loss rather than have any

formation was yesterday furnished Super
intend snt Loan that Messrs. De Blanc and
Pefrilliat intended to fight duel at point
opposite Carrollton during the day. and
that they would %e accompanied by several
friends. Captain Malone went to Carroll
ton and watched the cars and as the
belligerents and their friends, two at time,
appeared, he sent them to the calabo ose-
nine in all. The principals are those who
were recently arrested in the Third District
and placed under bonds to keep the peace,
but it now appears that they have forfeited
their bonds. They were all released on bail
by Judge Mccormack.

The Ttaae (snide.

We take pleasure in Noticing the rgrla,
fall edition Of the "New Orle ans Semi An
nual Trade Guide" being distributed
throughout the city and county. We be
lieve it - b one of the most effective
methods of communicating direct with de
sirable Gus TONERS throughout che Southern
States, and of presenting in proper light the
claims Of this city and its merchant, to the
patronage Of eur country friends. For
about ten years tito Guide has proven
itself to be adapted to the want, of our
mercantile community, and continues to
have their substantial support. We note
the names Of many prominent houses in all
trades in this number. Groceries, drugs,
dry goods, hardware, agricult ural imple-
merts, manufacturers, <tc., here have
voltay representatives. Dealers and
consumers who may Intend visiting
New Orleans during tao fall or
winter, and desire to acquire such know
ledge Of our wholesale merchants, manufac-
turers and others, as will enable them to
readily know our leading business men, and
the particular lines of trade pursued by
them, are here afforded most favorable
opportunity. A worthy effort in the gen.
eral interests of our mercantile community
will be made by tho energetic publisher,
Mr.. D. Webster, who has determined upon
distributing large number of his books
throughout Mexico, Cuba and the Islands,
with view of encouraging our neighbors
in the matter of reciprocal trade, and in
forming them Of mutual advsnt ages to be
derived therefrom. We sincerely wish that
the hopes of the publisher may be realized,
and that his new field Of distribution may
prove as advantageous to his patrons and
our interests generally as he anticipated
The next issue of the "Guide" will appear

DAYS.
By NARH wALslNGBAN.

huAh a-baby, by-a-by:
Gertrude Frances, shut your eye.
All the flowers have gone to bed,
And the pretty sun is fed;
On the lake the moonlight dances
smut your eyesup, Gertrude F,ancss,
Brides all are in their nests
All things good have gone to rest
Only owls and bats are flying,
And the hideous wolf is crying;
Through the swamp the FREELY dances
Shut your eyes up, Gertrude Frances
Zee the great red lighthouse eve
Shines far up the gloomy sky;
And the great, big waves Of water
Nod at Jessie's tiny daughter,
Where the lonely white beach glances-
Shut your eyes up, Gertrude Frances.
Shut your eyes up, do not cry
Elves and gnomes are troopins by.
Holy Virgin, blessed Mary,
Rock this sleepy little fairy!
Guard her till the sunshine Dances
Shut your eyes up, Gertrude Frances!
