government. when they begin active
operations next autumn They pro-
pose. it is understood, to colonize the
State of Sonora with some thousands OF
Americans, and to set up an independ-
ent government there. Then they will
play the role of Texas over again. and
endeavor to secure admission to the
uniop ms q federal State. The Texas
Pacific Railroad at one point viii run
along the southern borders of Arizona,
and almost touch the territory OF
Mexico. The anarchy that prevails in
Mexico opens the way for this new
colonization scheme. There rs sand to
be o great deal of money available to
carry out the enterprise. If a new gov
eminent should be established in So
nora, Lerdo will undoubtedly he the
nominal head of it. The means for
establishing it will he furnished from
this side of the border. The capture
of Sonora wo1ld inevitably carry with
it the control of Lower California and
the addition of the territory to the
American Union, and will extend our
territory two degrees south on the Pa
cifc coast. 1t is highly attractive
scheme. Sonora is the State in which
the Mexican national authority is
naturally the weakest The defenders
of the scheme say that the Mexican au-
thority is at an end, and that there can /,
be no government there unless it is
sustained from this side Of the line,
and that the time has come to make
another huge addition to our territory
on the southwest. You will be likely
to hear good deal about this matter
before the summer is ont.

Mr.. Erstis' case is not 30 clear.
In 1872 Pinchback claimed to be

tested his claim. Mcmillan re-
signed and Eustis was elected by
the Legislature as it was arranged
under the Wheeler compromise.
In Kellogg's case the privileges
and elections committee Of the
Senale decided that they would be
obliged to report favorably in
cases where there was no contest,
and let the Senators decide the
other questions for themselves. If
this precedent be adhered to, Mr..
Eustis will be seated. The ma

Senator Gordon Explains.
HE DENIES THAT HE EVER MADE ANY BAR
GAIN WITH THE FRIENDS OF HAYES.

Senator Gordon, of Georgia,
has been goaded into writing u
letter, defending himself from
several charges that he was
disloyal to Tilden and inclined to
give support to President Hayes ::
He says: 1.-The charge that ]

the Inauguration. looking either

nor bave ] since, had one word
of conversation with either of
these gentlemen, nor with any
body else, looking to any political
compromise or political arrange
ment or utilization Of any descrip-
tion whatever. My only agency,
my only effort in this Presidential
count was this: When / saw
Mr.. Tilden's oause WAS hopelessly
lost-lost by want Of concert Of
action prior to the passage of the
electoral bill-lost beyond the
power Of rescue by any man or
set of men, / determined to do all
in my power to save from the
wreck local self government 10

endeayors in the last campaign. /
If that be treason to principle, to

The Coming Political Change
in the Senate.

The Senate of the United States
is the last branch of the govern
ment to be affected by political
changes, or popular tidal waves
The Senate mas been republican
so long that that party seemed to
hold it as by presumption. But q
change seems to be coming, and
in the next two years the old
stronghold of republicanism may
have to give way.
There are now 70 Senators
whose titles are nudisputed. Three
more are seeking adinission--all
demucrsts--two from Louisiana,
and one from South Carolina.
As nov constituted, the Senate
has 80 republican members to 81
democrats, aud Que independent

If General Butler, of South
Carolina, is seated and the Louis
lana democratic Senators are adj
mitted. the republicans will have
only two majority. The cases of
the Senators whose credentials
will come mp for action the FIRST
day Of the coming session are
briefly these:

When the Chamberlain Legisla-
ture in South Carolina was organ

of the ll6 whose election was nm

diately seated fourteen members

thirty-one Senators and sixty-eight
Representatives who voted on Joint
ballot when Corhin was elected.
The fourteen republicans who had
been sworn 10 without contest and
had voted for Corbin were M
seated. So the democrats claim
that his election was not legal.
General Butler was elected by o
Legislature numbering 10 men,
bers Of both Houses on Joint bal
lot. We presume the Senate will
hold that there has been no legal
Senatorial election in South Caro-
lima, and will send the contestants
back to the people for q new cleo
ton. If this occurs, General M. |
G. Butler will be neglected. This
new election may take place before

The recent sequestration by
some q. S. deputy marshals, of
an immense quantity of pine logs
in this parish, in and near the
tributaries of the Calcasieu river,
under an order issued in a snit in-
stituted by the q. 9. District At
torney in the U. s. District Court
in New Orleans, claiming that the
logs had been cut on government
land, has seriously affected the
mill owners and the log men of
Calcasieu, and indeed the business
interests of our parish generally.
We are informed that thousands
Of logs cut CD land belonging
TO private individuals, and
patented to them, are included in
the representation. We are not yet
sufficiently advised on this impor-
tant matter to speak knowingly in
the premises, but unless We are
grsAsly mistaken, the general gov
eminent has become liable for
heavy claims for damages for a
wrongful sequestration. We are
informed that the seizures, OF

While the United States as o

A WARNING TO PARENTS.

The melancholy accident which occurred
recently at the Abbeyille depot, resulting in
the instant death of promising little boy,
reminds Us that parents in Anderson ought
to be placed upon their guard to prevent q
similar accident at the depot here. Almost
every day, when the cars arrive, there is
crowd of boys at the depot, and many OF
them get upon the train when it is IN mo-
tion. or run ahead of the cars as they ere
being shifted, or in some other manner en-
danger their lives by risky performances.
Doubtless the parents are oftentimes una
ware of the fact that their boys frequent the
depot at that time, and in case Of an accl-
dent, like the sad occurrence in Abbeviiie'
the bereaved parents would be astoundeo 10
know that their boy incurred such rlsks.
We have no disposition to curtail any proper
enjoyment of the juveniles, nor are we con-
oerned in this matter except for the safety
and happiness of our neighbors, whose chill
dren are allowed to visit the depot at time
vben there is a rush and hurry to get
through the business of the railroad. Be-
sides the danger involved, when boys are so
prone to take great risks upon themselves II
nnrestrained in their conduct, the presence
of SO many at the time specified must often
interfere and annoy the railroad officials,
who are only allowed few minutes to get
throueh with considerable business. Parents
can reyolye this matter in their own minds,
and then act for themselves.

Longs Shop is situated in the extreme
Southern side of Varennes Township, i'm.
mediately on the old Leatherdeal Road, nine
miles South of Anderson e.. H. The pro-
prietor of this beautiful and healthy loca-
ton, Mr.. John Long, has a shop in which
he manufactures buggies and wagons, and
Jack Arnold, (colored) runs a blacksmith
shop. Mr.. Longs farming interests are con-
siderable, having his lands cultivated by
several tenants. In u few hundred yards of
this place, Immediately where the old Mid
dleton Road crosses the Leatherdeal, is the
neat and beautiful residence of Mr.. G. w.
Long. He and his nephew, w. A. Long,
have cotton gin and thresher, both pro-
PEELED BY steam, ginning annually from 400
to 500 bales of cotton: They rum the thresh-
er in its season on the itinerant plan, doing
quite lucrative business. Mr.. g. W. Long
has manufacturing apparatus for extract
ing and converting the juice Of the sorghum
cane into syrup. He embarked IN this en-.
terprise last fall, and We presume he will
find Improbable, as he made over 1000 gal
Ions. In one mile of this place, Mr.. Henry

in constructing stone dam in order to keep

Mr.. Findley is farming pretty extensively,
work done by himself and tenants. We
will also notice that in less than mile of
