In accord with o Asntiment which is not
unknown in this community, we have a
curiosity a. to the reason why Senator
for the long term has not been yet elected
by lhe Legislature of this State. Can no.

Aud it would appear that the public has
some interest in this question. Under
ordinary circumstances such matter
might be left to the strategy of politicians
and log rollers, but at present there lie a
question of honor involved. The time has
come when Louisiana must stand on heI
rights and even on her dignity. During
the period of military despotism called
"Grant's Presidency" it was clear that tbs
term "Union" was fraudulent. There was
no Union. None was intended but the
Northern people were not honest enough

ST. MICRAELs FAIR.-This enter rtainmeut so
long looked forward to with the most plea.
surable antioipations, will open in ST. Micbaeps
Hall tomorrow (Monday) evening. The ladies
have made the most of the time given them
since the Fair was rst announced, aud have
collected aud made many beautiful articles
with which to ornament their tables and win
in view.
A novel and interesting feature of this Fair
will be a Children's Festival, which will be
given next Saturday, April 9TH, commencing z at
IL o'clock A. NJ. and terminating at 5 P. NJ.
There will also be q series of entertainments
by the pupils of st. Michael's schools and
others under the direction of Prof. Blake. En-
trance for children, 10 cents; parents accompa-
nying their children, free.
We have no doubt that the people of St.
Michaeps and their friends will rally to the
support of the jealous pastor, Father Thomas
Heslin, in this effort to pay off the debt on the
fue school buildiug he has erected for the
children of the parish. He has worked hard
and sacrificed much for their welfare, and they
should at least show their appreciation by
lifting from his shoulders the debt incurred in
their interests, and which is q source of con-
tinua annoyance and expense.
Let this Fair be as successful as the DeoDle
Of st. Michaels can make it if they work
earnestly, and we can promise them that it
will be years before they hear again of fairs or
extra collections or debts in their parish,
