We had the pleasure of meeting
Mcssrs. Keith & Thomson, the editors
of the KcO1rcc Courier. The former is
an old friend of our hoyh0od. but is one
whom we had not had the pleasure of
meeting for more than twenty years.
He is ole for whom we entertained in
boyhood none but the best feelings, and
in later years our relations are SIS cordial
as ever. The place Of his birth has hon
ored him with Office and station, and he
is now the father Of four sons and three
daughters. If he isn't happy its his
own fault.
The Grecnvi'yc .Nc,0s was represented
by Mr.. t. NJ. Taylor, who took copious
notes oI the events of the day.
The .lbbcuiNc Medium was represented
by both it's editors, and their readers
may look for glowing account of all
that took place to-day:

are likely to get their deserts; but the
infamous State Ring Of Pennsylvania
and the corrupt leaders Of Philadelphia
vet bid defiance to law and justice, But
it is hoped that
Justice will yet unclos her eyes
The people yet in power arise,

GRANT continues to try his hand at
Union pinned together with bayonets,"
Let our readers peruse with care the ac-
count given in this paper The fact Is
the people o. Louisiana elected major
ity of twenty-five Conservatives to their
Legislature. But the Returning Board
turned the tables, or intended to. This
Board declined to pass Oh several mem
bers referring them to the Legislature
These gave small majority to the Con-
seryatives. An exchange says, 234 years
AGO Charles Stuart ordered the arrest and
removal of five members of the British
House ofCommons, for all which, in time
he paid dear, losing his head. There is
no doubt that the members expelled on
Monday by Grants bayonets were duty
and fairly elected by the people. We hope
10 have a House in the next Congress
that will be ready to protect the rights
of the people and the rights OF a soyer
eign state.
