THE SENATORSHIP.

The admission of Kellogg to the United
States Senate is a fitting end Of the most dis
graceful parliamentary contest on record. 1t
is another crime against the constitution,
another outrage upon public decency and
another kick bestowed upon Louisiana. KEEL
logg was never elected Senator from this
State, and he Is in no sense the representa-
tive of our people. He is the representative
of nothing except an era, which all parties
should unite in putting out Of the way,
full of villainy, violence and shame. The
people he has the impudence to claim
to represent loathe and despise him; ;
they repudiate him and his pretensions, and
they can call to mind not single event in his
career among them that arouses in their
hearts any other feeling than that Of indigna-
ton or resentment. The Legislature of the
State, we have no doubt, will repudiate his
pretensions, and we are equally confident
that the day on which the Democrats hold a
majority in the Senate, they should expell
this impertinent upstart and shameless pre-
tender and rogue from that body.
The people will note that the Republicans
voted In solid body to perpetrate this out
rage upon the country and Louisiana The
Administration Senators vote1 with the dis
affected Senators; Stanley Matthews and
Christiancy voted with Conkling and Ed
munds to disgrace the Senate, to prolong .
little while longer the power OF the Repnbli-
can party In It. The President seems not to

have made single effort to prevent an act
which Is at once violation of the constitution
and terrible rebuke TO him. Senator Mat
thews, by his vote, proclaims his own infamy
TO the world. But why discuss this trimmer
and trickster who has been false to every
cause he ever undertook. Some weeks ago we
sketched him TO the best Of our ability and we
could not improve the picture; we can only
say that we would not rub out line of the
sketch.
1t is very evident now that the President
has retired from his advanced position, and
fallen back on the main body of the Repub-
lican party. He had but one Of two things to
do--either TO join the Democrats or make
terms with the Republicans. He has adopted
the latter course. Conkling has whipped him
in; now, then, the Democrats should leave
him to the mercy of his friends.

Beware of striped stockings We address
this warning not to the young men, but to
the young women. case even now on
trial In st. Louis court develops the
fact that striped stockings are most dan
gerous, and that q rattlesnake, blind
with poison, Is much safer animal to
tamper with than some striped stockings
VIM. &. Waite, printer on the st. Louis
Republican, has brought suit against Mr.. D.
Crawford, merchant of that town, for $4,000
damages for the loss Of child who died from
wearing striped stockings bought from Craw-
ford. The case is naturally attracting great
deal of attention, and almost the whole
medical fraternity Of st. Louis have been
called on to give evidence therein. It is adj
mitted by all who saw the girl that she died
from poison In her feet; the only point at
issue is, did the stockings contain the
poison or not ? On this point there is q
variety Of opinions. The stockings have
been examined and analysed by a dozen
doctors and chemists, and while some of
these report that the colors used in coloring
the stockings contained poison, others as posi-
lively say they did not. The case is still on
trial, but will probably be decided this week,
when we shall learn something Of the physi-
ology Of the stocking. II the plaintiff wins
his suit 1t will undoubtedly give rise to a
score of others Of similar nature. Hus-
bands will bring suits for wives who have
fallen victims to tight corsets: and many
young ladies probably demand heavy dam
ages for complexion spoiled by some auaek
face powder. Such suit as the latter, how
ever, would not be wholly q novel one, as
there is q case on record of young lady who
recovered damages from the gentleman who
ruined her chances Of marriage by giving
her the smallpox.

Another New Syvindle,

The following item is going the
rounds OF our exchanges: Another new
swindle has been developed, the modus
operandi of which is as follows: A pack
peddler calls at house with fine lot
of articles which he offers at ruinous
sacrifices. He makes sale and goes
on his way. The next day two men
drive up to the house with printed bill,
giving an account of the robbery of a
certain store. They claim the goods,
and usually bulldoze the purchaser into
giving them up. 1t would be well for
newspapers throughout the State to give
these swindlers the benefit of gratuit.
Gus advertisement, so as to guard their
readers against such impostors. Peo-
pie who do not read the papers would
then be the only sufferers-and this
class, il may be added. are generally the
ones who are taken in by the plausible
rascals.

ARide to Bristoyy,

On Tuesday we accepted an invitation
nothing official about it-from Sheriff
Jones, to visit Bristow with him.
On the route out we passed the fine
farm OF Mr. Joseph Neal, where can be
seen one of the best barns in the coun-
ty, with ample sheds and stables for cat
tie, horses and hogs. Mr.. Meals farm
is one OF the finest in the county, and is
in the highest stage of cultivation, well
adapted to grain and stock, the latter of
which is receiving the most Of his at
tention. The farm buildings are finely
situated on high point overlooking the
country for miles around. When Mr..
Neal gets the new house, which he has
now under way, completed, he will have
one of the best homes in Iowa.
TMr NEAL formerly resided in "Old
Monroe" and his many friends here
will be glad to learn that he has been so
successful in the West, and he has their
best wishes for continued prosperity
