1t will be seer that the Shelby delega'
ton is quite scattered. Aessrs. Maddox
and Douglass voted for Bate; Collier and
Nelson voted for Bailey; Coleman and
Lowe voted for Key, and Peters voted
for Turney; Henry G. Smith aud l. NJ
Hill voted for Pettibone. We presume,
however, that after another ballot or two
the Democrats will unite, and that when
Key and Turney are dropped, as they
most likely will be eventually, that our
immediate Democratic Representatives
will concentrate on Bate, who, we feel
assured, is the choice Of the majority OF
their constituents in Shelby county. Key
has probably polled his full Democratic
strength, though the Republican vote
would 60 TO him in preference to either
Of the other Democrats. The chances
at present are greatly in favor Of General
Bate.

Disease Grows Apace.

Like an i'll wind, and cannot be mastered too
early. What lisa triaing attack of sickness
to-day may, if unattended to. become a seri-
GUS case in a week. Small ailments should be
hipped in the bud before they blossom into
full blown maladies. If this advice were at
tended to, many a heavy bill for medical at
tendance might be avoided. When the liver
is disorder,d, the stomach foul, the bowels
obstructed, or the nerves disturbed. resort
should at once be had to that supreme rem
edy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. a few doses
of which will restore healthy action and put
the system in perfect order. 1t is a wise pre-
caution to keep this Incompatible preventive
in the house, since 1t checks. With unrivaled
pTomptitude, disorders which breed others
far more dangerous. and in their latest deYel-
opments are themselves often fatal.

fortitude, happily united with the higher
qualities, that make up manhood patti

The Beneficiary affair is the social

HENRY WATTERsoY writes from Wash.
iugton; The people must act for them
selves. Without their support the House
of Representatives is powerless. A cor.
poral's guard may dispense it. The ar
rest Of half a dozen of its members
would demoralize it. Anything, every.
thing is possible TO those who oppose
themselves to the conspirators. But I'M
less the people act there will be no need
of violence on the part of the c~onspira-
tors. They will proceed without regard
to precedents or facts with their plan 10
put the defeated candidate for President
in the Whise House, leave Congress to
pursue its policy of impotent pre-
test, and, having weathered the 5.h
of March, say with complscency
to such as question, What are
you going to do about it 2 II the Ken
lucky State Convention, which meets on
the 18Th, wishes to DO something, let it
take ground firmly, not noisily, for the
joint right of the two Houses, fortified
as it is by all precedent; and having
thus memOrislized the Senate, let it pro-
vide for the prefence Of at least ten
thousand unarmed Kentuckians in this
city on the coming l4th of February.
Lass than this will be of no avail. So
much, supplemented as it will be by
other States, will secure, through civil
agencies, the peaceful settlement Of The
most dangerous issue that ever mensced
the existence of q free government" 1t
is evident that il Mr.. Watterson keeps on
letter writing and giving such impracti-
cable advice, the wave Of popularity on
which he rode into Congress will recede
about as qsiokly as it went up.

The City Perfectly Quiet and no
Indications Of the Events
Of Yesterday.
Each Side Rsticsnt in Regard to
their Intentions.
The Nichells Government in Full

Complete.


Special to the Ledger.l
Nav ORLEANS, January lO.-The AS.
ISOLATED Press dispatches have doubtless
conveyed to you the revolution Of yester'
day and the restoration Of the Louisiana
government to the people Of the State.
Nothing could be more complete. Gov
ernor Nichols holds possession of all the
courts, station,houses, and, in fact, every
thing but the old ST. Louis hotel, where
Packard, Kellogg and a portion of their
Legislature are at, but no quorum Of
either branch has been had since yester-
day. They are savage at Grant for not
interfering, and make no concealment OF
Of their anger Without such intetfer-
euce Republican rule in Louisiana is at
an end.
The Democrats claim that they have
ten thousand men fully armed and or
ganizsd, to turn out at a moments mo-
tice, but am assured by Governor
Nichols that be will make no further
aggressive movements. Having estab-
lished the Courts he will leave them to
settle sill other matters pertaining to the
permanent establishment of his govern
meat.
Business was resumed this morning,
and everything looks as quiet as in
Memphis. BLUFF CRY.
New ORLEANS, January lO--At this
writing, $3.50 am, the city is perfectly
quiet and with the exception Of a few
armed squads p~atroling the streets, and
white ribbon badges Of Nichells' police,
there is nothing to indicate the events
which t%ranspired yesterday. Not a sin
gle case Of violence or disorder occurred
during the night, as far as is known at
this hour, and there is no indication of
the gathering of the armed hosts Of yes
terday. Each side is exceedingly reti.
cent 10 regard to its intentions, and
nothing is known Of them outside OF
their trusted friends.

SECOND DISPATCH.

On visiting the State House this norm
ing the writer found a line of Nichols
police on the south side Of St. Louis
street, and on the opposite aide a line Of
the Metropolitans. The former permit
ted him to pass, but the latter halted him
until word from Governor Packard was
received to pass him. On entering the
building he found the Metropolitan look
iRg like they had been on duty all night
without sleep, and members of the Legis-
laturs presenting a similar appearance.
Governor Packard. who had Just returned
from his breakfast, looked as cool and
collected as en- yesterday. BE stated
that there was no change in the situa.
ton since last evening beyond the fact
that the House would have a quorum to-.
day, which was prevented yesterday by
the fears Of the members. The Senate
still wants one to complete its quorum.
Ex-Governor Kellogg, United States
Marshal Pitkin, and others were present
engaged in earnest conversation. All
were very reticent, and declined to give
any information as to their lines Of policy
or intention.
The Republican this morning says;
About 10 o'clock last evening Marshal
Pitkin informed General Anger that his
deputies had been refused admission to
the State Houae, and General Anger i'm.
mediatsly communicated with General
Nichols, and stated through a staff OFF.
Ger that this must be stopped. General
Nichols said it was not by bic order, aud
directions we're then given which caused
such arrangements TO be made that there
were no restrictions on any person, either
entering or leaving the State House OF
vicinity. Nichols police patrolled the
streets lsst night and looked around
pretty lively, but made few or no arrests

THE NEW FRUIT PRRSERyATIyE.

DIR. ]. w. Davenport of Dallas,
Texas. has obtained q patent for keep
ing all kinds of fruit, vegetables and
meats fresh and sweet. The aim OF
the chemist has been to discover the
ingredients of pickle that will arrest
the process of decomposition and ex
tinguish the germ Of decay Of all ami
NAL and vegetable substances without
imparting to them an injurious effect.
1t is simply a pickle of the most mex
pensiye sort, costing less than brine
or vinegar, in which any meat or veg
etable may be kept in open vessels,
submerged for months, and when TAX
en- out will be found as pure and fresh
as when the vegetables came from
the garden or the meat from the butch
er's stall. This pickle may be iur-
nished and prepared at cost of Tour
cents per barrel. The pickle is so
nearly tasteless and palatable as to de-
monstrate its innocuousness, and yet
from the specimen we saw yesterday,
green corn which had been immersed
in it for twelve months, when boiled,
could not be distinguished from the
corn which had been gathered that
morning.-N. o. Democrat.

Whatever things be sweet or fair,

That cheer to rest the nestling bird,
Or that sweet confidence Of sighs
And bushes without a word.
Whether the dazzling and the flush
OF softly sumptuous garden bowers,
Or by some cabin door or bush

'Tis not the wide phylactery,
Nor stubborn fast, or stated prayers,
That makes Us saints We judge the tree
By what it bears.
And when a man can live apart
From work, on theologic trust,

Is dry as dust.
