PIcAYUNE ON THE JUDGEsHIPs. -
The N. 0. Picayune is laboring
very hard to furnish Kellogg with an
excuse for appointing Supreme
Court next summer. If the Picayune
would be candid, it would confess
that these articles are written at the
suggestion, or dictation of him or
those who desire the scurvy bench
continued. But it's lack of candor
does not benefit it. It does not take
very piercing eyes to see its motive,
and as an old friend and we'll wisher
to the Pic. we cannot forbear saying
that it is usually engaged in less dir.
ty business than furnishing in ad-
vance reasons to justify Kellogg for
doing what the Radical Ring have al.
ready determined on, but what every

tutional. The Pic. cannot palm of

The ELECTION IN GRANT.-Are
our friends in Grant Parish aware Of
the vital Importance Of the special
election ordered to Gil the vacancy
occasioned by the expelling from the
House of the notorious negro, Ward?
We hope and trust they are, and that
the few remaining days before the
election, will be devoted to the sue
cess of the Conservative candidate.
There is surely Conservative major
lty in that Parish, of at least one
hundred and Fifty, and it would be
criminal to allow the return of ne
gro or a Radical. This is of the
greatest Importance just now, as the
member returned from Grant, will
decide which party on joint ballot in
our present Legislature, shall have
majority. Here can be seen the
Importance Of the election in Grant,
and without further reference thereto
in many other important respects,
this alone should stimulate our
friends and urge them to once more
move on the line of home duty and
home rule.

HARD times, in the true financial

HARD times, in the true financial
meaning of the words, are upon
large portion of the business men of
New Orleans, strange to say earlier
by several months than usual, and
rumors and facts of failures reach us
almost every mail arrival. And the
causes assigned for these failures are
laid upon the country customers of
our unfortunate City merchants and
dealers, and great fears are enter
tanned that there is more truth than
poetry in this assertion. We ac-
knowledge our inability to account
for this, admitting its truth, for bet
ter crops this year are made and
shipments have been early and regu-
lar to New Orleans, and are ahead of
last year in the cotton line alone, one
thousand bales. We write for this
locality and base our failure to see
into the matter from these home
facts. There seems tie be here yet
some confidence that all will make
the trip and that Alexandria's ledger
will balance all right. We are buoy
ant in that fact favorable to our
community as safe business men.

Our Oldest Vessel.

The bark ,Draco is the oldest vessel
in the United States. She was built
at Dnxbnry by Reuben and Charles
Drew in 1924. and now is over fifty oue
years old. The Draco was built in the
most thorough manner and Of the best
materials-pasture oakland if no &C
client occurs may live as long in the
future as she has in the past. She is
25l tons register, double deck, origi-
pally brig, but altered into a bark in
1884. She was first employed in the
freislring business; then sold to p. &
G. Flint & Co. for the South American
trade; next she passed to Samuel j.
Bridge, Joseph Knowles and E. Tuck
er Osborn for the Australian trade, and
was finally sold to Mr.. j. Bourne, Jr.,
of New Bedford, for wl,aler, and has
long been engaged in that business.
The Draco was we'll known in Boston
forty yeas ago, aud was a tavorite YES
sci with all her owners; as she was al
most always fortunate in making prof
table voyages for them. In 1886 the
Draco in a voyage from Valparaiso to
Swanson, Wales, loaded heavily with
a cargo ore, passed through the Straits
of Magellan, the only vessel of consid-

FACTS FOR THE DEMOcRAcY.-We
have not seen any reference made to
one feature of the recent elections
which we think is worthy ofclose study
and grave reflection, especially by
Democrats. The Democratic State
Conventions Of this year in Massachu-
sets, New York, and Maryland adop.
ted hard money platforms Of the sound
est quality. On the other hand, the
platforms laid down by the Democratic
State Convention Of Ohio and penusyl-
vania were in favor Of soft money.
Now, go far as the currency question
Influenced results, what was the effect
Of these dian,etrieally opposite doc
trines upon the Democratic vote 10
these, five States at the recent cleo
tionsi The Democratic loss this year
in Massachusetts, New York, and Ma
ryIand, "a compared with last year, il
about So, GOO votes. The numher Of
members Of Congress in these States is
fifty, and consequently the loss inst
mentioned is 40 average Of ] $50 votes
for each Congressman. The Demo-
cratic loss in Ohio and Pennsylvania
at the recent elections, as compared
with the results Of last years, is about
Al, 600 votes. They elect forty; seven
members Of Congress The Demo-
cratic loss therefore, is an average Of
only $40 votes for eacl, Congressman.
Even in New York, where the platform
was intensely hard, the Democrats
lose rather more heavily than did their
soft brethren in Ohio. There may be
many reasons for these curious results.
But at all events they are worthy Of
philosophical study and consideration
