"a BOURBON AMONG US?"
Dnllas The Home Of M Honest hut
Ambitious Exile,
A New Phase IN Cnrpeibngism -
Resident Of DniiRs ma Aspirant
for Senatorial uOnOrs
from Louisiana, r.

Dallas IL, essentially II cosmopolitan
city. Among her population ARE
counts and no.acc0untsi live, pro-
gressive, honorable, enterprising busi-
ness men and Peter Funks; honest
folks and knaVes sharpers and suck
ers politicians and hewers OF wood
and drawers Of water; lawyers and
shysters; in fact, among her popula-
ton can be found followers OF every
creed, and members &C every race, ma
tionality aud occupation. There has
been but on thing we have sighed for
but, thank Heaven, we'll sigh no
more. At last have our wishes IN
measure been gratifled, and Dallas
now boasts, II not of an United States
Senator, at least an aspirant.
BY the suhjoined extract from the
New Orleans Plcayune II will be seen
that no "pent-up Utica" limits the am
bton of our worthy asplrant Tor Sena-
torial honors, but he takes IN the
broad domain of the Union, and II dis
appointed IN Louisiana, Will probably
strike for other fields, and pastures
preen-or black. Cromwell IL ambiti-
Gus his ambition Is laudable. 10 re-
present the great State o. Louisiana In
the United States Senate is plum not
to be sneezed at, either socially, politi-
!, calIy Or best ofall, financially. Crom-
well, with his ambition, Is also thrifty;
; and during the long months of exile
referred to in his letter, has
. been quietly gathering together many
y shekels through the medium
of first.rate laundry. But while in
u dustriously engaged, either in putting
e glossy surface on well-ironed shirt
bosom or gathering the ducats for the
e labor thereon, that massive brain OF
8 his was revolving great questions o.
State, aud while the thoughtless OF
Is needless passed him by with disdain
g they little thought him man whom
> "peoular complications" had forced
!, to become an exile from state which
n he 30 dearly loved, and which so dear
q ly loved to honor HIM. But 'sich II
life,u and who knows but what, In the
# multifarious changes which take place
d In this great Republican Government
l. of ours, Cromwell, the laundryman o
% Dallas, may yet figure as Cromwell
x the representative from Louisiana
,r But for the present, The HERALl
/. fears Cromwell must forego his Sena
II torial aspirations; and in doing SO
while Louisiana may lose most eX
y, cellent Senator, Dallas will retain
~ frst-class laundry man.
