late him and enjoy themselves in one
happy merry>making. All were wei,
coined in the warmest possible manner
by the Senator and his accomplished and
hospitable wife. This gathering of De-
mocracy represented all the gallantry and
beauty Of Hartford and the county, and
when the lively music iloated through the
halls, Eight winged feet kept time to the
merry hearts in the dizzy dance. Every
thing went off as merry as marriage
hell, and when in the wee hours of the
night. I'VE took our leave OF the Captain,

the floor of the Senate, be tower Of
strength as the representative OF a Demos

Justice to all men," This "happy
gathering" will long be remembered by
the young ladies and gentlemen OF Hart

guished himself in the Senate, and an
appreciative public has deemed his sery-
ices necessary in the halls of the Con-
gress Of his country, we will again meet
TO congratulate him on the success of
merit and fidelity to the interests intrust-
ed him by the people.

the recent order given to General Ord

across the boundary line between the
United States and Mexico and he
also intimated that the invasion of

Secretary Eyarts, while announcing

It appears that Mfr. Charles Morgan
Aas not the slightest intention OF
awaiting himself of the charter granted
him mt the late session of the Legis-

that part of his road from Morgan

Mr.. Morgan's employees rushed
through the bill at the last session
with great ease aud it was even as
serted that, plans and specifications
for certain bridges to be constructed
along the contemplated line had been
completed.
Now, one of these same employees,
high i'm rank, who was most active Ill
securing the passage of the bill, who
was daily upon the floor of one or the
other of the Houses OF the General
Assembly while the bill was pending
calmly asserts, that +" if Mr.. Morgan
has the remotest idea of building a
road to Texas through Southwestern
Louisiana, no one in New Orleans
knows any thing of it."
Mr.. Morgan, with the short piece OF
road from New Orleans to Berwick's
Bay, with his line of ships to Calves

in two Texas roads leading to Gal
weston, smiles at the gullibility of the

Exit. BulldOZerS.

Evidently the Baton Rouge bull
doz.r las had his day and the chlv-
alrous deeds of that gentle creature
will live only in history, poetry and
song. Four white men charged with
whipping two blacks have been sent
before the District Court OF East
Baton Rouge parish for trial, and the
Advocate, tuning its harp to accord
with the song which the CHIEF has
been chanting for 10, these many suns,
comments upon the case as follows:
We regret very much to record such
an ontrage as this. If the negroes
had done any thing to merit PUNISH
mept. the courts are open, fully COM

law, and private individuals have no
| right to take the law into their own
hands. By doing SO such persons lay
themselves liable to punishment
Aside even from this fact there are
MANY other reasons why such things
should not happen. Among these we
might mention the fact that acts OF
lIawlesspess of that kind tend to drive
away laborers from the parish and to
work a serious hardship upon persons
engaged in planting. Furthermore
snch acts are wrong and tend to bring
discredit upon those who earnestly
and honestly participated IN the LATE
canvass. Every citizen who had oe'
casion to speak to the colored people
during that memOrable canvass assured
them that they should be protected
in their rights of person and propert!
when the Democratic party elected
honest. competent and decent men t.
; fill the. offices. The colored peopl'
were plainly told that all offender
against the law, whether white o
black, would be punished by the Law
and that no discrimination should b
made. Relying upon such assurances
hundreds of cclored people joine'
hands with their white friends AM
helped them to elect the officers G

An interesting incident is thus re-

All Interesting iuSlOCuO 10 UhuS ~
lated by the Morgan City Register:
Mrs. Maggie Easily some time since
in company with her husband left
Evergreen, Ala, to seek their fortunes
in the Lone Star State. They set
tied in Northwestern Texas, where
the husband died about three weeks
ago. The lady, unable to earn live
lihoOd for herself and three small
children, started for Alabama. Ar
irving at Galveston, she took the
steamship Josephine for this place,
aud during the trip over gave birth
to child. The officers of the ship
did every thing in their power to
make the poor lady comfortable, and
on arriving at this port list was cir
culated and sufficient money sub
scribed to have her properly cared
for dntil able to travel, and also to
pay her fare to Alabama. The little
stranger received hearty welcome
from the officers of the ship, and is to
be christened Josephine Seaborn Easily
