Governor Kellogg.

While the compromise was still subject
of debate and the opposition thereto was
powerful in both parties and most bitterly
denounced by some prominent Republicans,
a visitor in New Orleans asked this ques-
ton: "Who ia the anthor of this com
promise 2" A Republican opponent replied,
with sheer: William Pitt Kellogg; it is
his work" Predictions of failure were
common at that time. 1t was said the
House would not make the changes re-
quired by the award. 1t was said the
Senate would not do it's part; that no power
on earth or under the earth could unseat
the members whom the congressional COM
mittee had decided against A few days
passed, and all these things had been done.
The unseated members, both in the House
and Senate, had given place to those to
whom the award assigned seats. The COM
promise had been completed to the very
letter. Then the same opposing Republican
who had declared Governor Kellogg the
original compromiser, said: ut must be ad
mitted that kellogg has shown himself
man Of great strength and influence. The
way in which he has carried through this
adjustment is wonderful. could not be-
lieve it possible. His success in this matter
lie aetonishing.-Monroel ntelligencer."

DEATH OF DR.. c. p. AMEs.-Last Satur-
day DR.. Ames was at police headquarters.
apparently in usual good health and humor.
He saluted his friends and acquaintances
with kind words and genial smiles, as ever
ready to do q friendly act for anybody in
in need. Sunday evening he retired, feeling
too unwell to attend to his duties. During
the night he was attacked so severely that
he felt compelled to send for physicians,
and then informed them that his liver was
enlarged so much that it was the cause of
his prostraton. He furnished the infOrma-
ton too late. and soon after daylight yes
terday morning he breathed his last breath.
He was barely thirty-two years old, but had
gained u very fine professional reputation.
Indeed, just before DR.. Stone died he
said to u friend that he considered DR..
Anes one of the most thorough anatOm
ical scholars he had ever met, and
the foundation of that knowledge was laid
IN our State University. Leaving here he
went to Massachusetts and entered Har-
ward Medical College, graduating in 1868,
which he returned to New Orleans and
began to practice medicine and surgery,
taking an office IN Algiers, where he gained
the good will and friendship OF everybody.
The poorest and lowest never appealed to
him 10 vain, for he always listened to calls
in charity's name. In 1870 he left his sub
urban practice and accepted a position as
city physician on the metropolitan POlce,
which position he held with honor. Police
men esteemed him as one of their best
friends. Socially the doctor was intimate
with but few, but that few learned to almost
love him. In disposition he was gentle,
ever sociable, always ready for anything
pleasant, and prompt in responding to calls
tor kindly acts. He will be greatly missed
by many besides his relatives. He leaves a
family. The funeral will take place this
evening from the corner of st. Charles and
MelpOmene streets.

TROUBLE AMONG Observation-Disclosures
day, number of men whose occupation is
to rake oysters in summer in Barataria bay,
and plant them for winter demand, came to
New Orleans, as they had been driven from
their quarters by old settlers who seem to
dislike too much honest industry. Nearly
all these men are Austrians by birth,
diligent toilers at anything they undertake.
Residents of Barataria have threatened
them with violence if they continue their
labors. The refugees will today make
known their grievances, and it Is likely
that Superintendent Loan will take hand.
The men were first assailed by large
number of persons, most Of them from
Cheniere Commando, who carried shot
guns. They cut the Austrians' boat fasten-
ings and sent the skiffs adrift, then demol-
ished their cabins and destroyed the provi-
siOns. Governor kellogg will be waited on
to-day and DO informed as to the case, and
the authorities of Jefferson parish will be
called on for indemnity. All that the suf-
ferers ask is protection while they are pur-
suing their legitimate business, and the
request should be promptly granted. If the
sheriff of Jefferson parish can not keep
down rioters in his BALL wick, then perhaps
a few policemen might be servlceable. 1t
is hoped that these men will find protection
frem some quarter.

them to dealers in junk. An officer not in

judges their employers got them clear, and
go the work was for nothing. At five
