Special to Shreveport Times.l
NEW ORLEANS, January II.
In joint session today Eustis was
elected Senator by seventy-five
votes to one. Four Radicals partic
ipated. Hahn, Of the House, voted
for Talaferro; Blackburn, Green and
Alexander, Senators, voted for Eus
tbs. Various opinions of the effect
are entertained. The Democrats
regard it as an affirmation of the
McEnery Government. Pinchback
IS the Senator from the Radical
standpoint, while Eustis succeeds
MARI, whose appointment by McEn
cry expired on the assembling, Of
the Legislature, and who succeeds
Mcmillan. The Senate, it is thought
will now accept the infamy Of seat
ing Pinchback or seat man salts

Here are two Republican opinions
on the third term question. The
Pittsburgh Gazette says: "Presi-
dent Grant has administered the
Government SO easily, wisely and
smoothly, that those who prefer
quietnde and peace to the
ovelty of changes in the Presiden
hal Office, regard him as the best
candidate that can be offered" The
Lancaster Engineer also Pennsyl
vania paper has its own notion on
the subject and speaks it thus: "Any
Republican who is bad and silly
enough to advocate a third term
should be kicked out of all fellow
ship with the party"

George 81. Thomas in which he Of

We wish all our brethren of the
newspaper press happy New Year.
They are engaged in a high, respon-
sible, and honorable calling, and if
they perform their work faithfully,
conscientioasly, according to their
best lights and in the fear of God
but of no man, they will give to the
year 1876 more glory than even the
Centennial celebration can add. May
prosperity attend them, and in their
homes and at their publishing
houses may peace and happiness
reign.-[New York Sun.

A Man Who Will Bear Watching.

Man Who Will Bear Watching.
While Gov. Chamberlain is emit
tied to praise for his refusal to CON-
mission Whipper and Moses, we are
not justified in attributing to him
the highest and purest motives. On
the contrary, there is good reason
to suspect that he is playing a
shrewd game for his own personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. He is a keen, and
by no means scrupulous politician,
and having sense enough to see that
the Re. ,ublican party in South Caro-
lima has rotted itself out, is prepar
ing to leave the sinking ship and
take passage in another, built OF
Conservative timber. Chamberlain
talks loudly and eloquently about
honesty, integrity, and ali that sort
of thing; but we cannot forget that
few years ago he, with Scott,
Neagle and Kimpton, constituted
the infamous "Financial Board"
which prepared the machinery that
has literally taxed the people of
South Carolina to death. In those
days he was as intensely and out.
IA ge0usly Radical as are the negro
Legislators who stand by Whipper
and Moses, and his conversion to
deceney and reform is unquestiona-
bly, due to the promptings of self
interest rather than to the dictates
of sound principle. In other words
Chamberlain has turned Conserva,
tive because Radicalism no longer
paws. In a recent conversation with
reporter 10 regard to the results OF
his action in the judicial matter, he
said:
zone immediate effort will obvi
ously he the reorganization Of the
Democratic party within the state.

ment of its members, for opposing

Messrs. Clifford and PiIIsbury at Free
port.
The Democrats of Freeport held the second
campaign meeting Saturday evening. The
hall was well filled, the audience being COM
posed principally of Republicans and the Til
den Zouaves and citizens of Brunswick and
Topsham, the Zouaves being principally mi
nors.
Mr. Clifford Of Portland was the first speaker
and much TO the dissatisfaction of the audience
occupied the largest part of the evening, COM
pletely exhaustng the patience of all, but as
the "big gun" which was principal attraction,
was reserved for the last broadside, forbearance
became necessity. Mr.. c. INDUCED in good
deal of slang, He spoke of political bells and
Republican bondholders, and thought the civil
service should be reformed He explained Mr..
Tilden's fraud on the revenue by saying that

ed in the years from ~ to 81, inclusive, there
fore didn't come under the law, and that Mr.
Tilden was man of great ability whose char
acter was beyond reproach, and that he would
come into power backed up by every pledge of
an honest wel-meaning man, which was say
ing great deal for the Republican party, but
he belonged in an obscure country town IN Ohio
and had never done ANYTHING to make himself
known. He wound up by complmenting the
audience on their intelligence by assuring them
that he didn't think they would believe the
moon was made of green cheese or an old cab
bage if he should tell Thorn so. On account of
the noise in the back part of the hall il was
with difficulty that Mr.. Pilsbury was heard.
His remarks were of wailing nature and con-
fined to the hard times, the desoation and ruin
prevalent everywhere, the unproftableness of
commerce and manufacturing interest, low
party had caused He told how long It would
take to count the amount of taxes paid, how

was bond of union between all soldiers of the
late war. He spoke of the death of one who
as the blood gushed from the fatal wound re
marked that it was good "Union BLOOD" and
then from the Army of the Potomac stepped
into the ranks that guard the golden bastions
of the stars" He urged the Republicans of
Maine to bring out every vote and display to
the nation its solid Republican front. He felt
no hesitancy in asking the Republicans of
Maine to do this, for we are all "cltizens of the
United States, one and indivisible, thank God
and the Republican party, forevermore."
The above is but meagre outline Of Gen.
Kings eloquent and effective speech, which
was listened to with marked attention and
elected frequent applause.
1t was past o'clock when Gen. King finish
ed his speech, and there was not sufficient time
for Prof. Langston to do himself justice. He
began at 9.15 and spoke until 10 o'clock. He
said that the Democratic party was composed
of two parts-the South, which dictates, and
the North, which obeys. Mr.. Lamar is today
the national exponent of Democratic ideas.
He has not changed his views relative to state
rights. The Democrats, too, still hold to the
heresy that this is a white mans government.
1t was embodied in their platform in 1868, and
is practically so now. He quoted Democratic
papers to prove that the great question with
the Southern Democracy was how to get the
negro out of politics.
He said that this was not white mans gov
eminent, and that the attempt to make it so
by few of the founders of the Constitution
was voted down by ten states. There could be
no argument adduced to prove that the negro
born in this country was not citizen. 1t was
only Democratic heresy. He then went on
to show that the negro had always been true to
the Republic. he had always answered its
call. He was true to the Union. He made an
eloquent appeal in behalf of his race, for its
protection, for chance to live, to enjoy the
fruits of his toll, to secure the blessings of ed
ucation and the freedom of the ballot. He
paid high compliment to Mr.. Blaine, which
was applauded.
1t is to be regretted that Prof Langston did
not have opportunity to present his speech in
full. He however gave proof that he possessed
rare ability as speaker, and those will be for
tunate who have an opportunity to listen to SO
able an orator. He will speak several times in
this county.
The Portland Band furnished excellent music
for the occasion.
