New ORLEANS, April 23.-Judge
H. M. Spoford was nominated to-
day by the democratic caucus for
u. S. Senator. In an interview yes
terday Judge Spofford said "Presi
dent Hayes policy, as outlined by
his inaugural address and his Off
cial action since he was declared
president by the constitutional au-
thority, has met my hearty appFo-
baton, and so long as he stands
squarely up to that policy he will
have my humble support"
Judge Spofford is one Of the first
men of the whole country and it
will be an honor to Louisiana to be
represented by so eminent q man,
and an honor to the Senate to have
so renowned a patriot as one of its
members.
One of the real sensations of the
time is the confession of William
NJ. 7 weed. The disclosures Of the
"Boss" bring down big game, so
far-five State Senators, two Judg-
es of the Court of Appeals, one
newspaper proprietor. and various
local personages of greater or less
prominence. 1t is one of the biting
ironies of the whole affair that all
save the original ring members are
Republicans, and during the cru
SADIE. following Tweed's downfall
were most virtuous and bitter in de
nunciation.
Wade Hampton has been married
twice, and is q widower. He had
three children-two sons and a
daughter. His oldest son, Preston
Hampton, was killed at @, ttysburg,
and the second, Wade, jr lives in
Washington, Miss. His daughter,
Margaret, is the wife of Col.
John Haskell, of South Carolina.
Yesterday was the day set Tor
the election of Louisiana Senator.
A correspondent says:
"There are about twenty candi-
dates of all shades of political opin-
ion, including Warmoth, Wiley and
Busy, Liberal Republicans, Penn,
Liberal Democrat; and Spofford,
Jonas, Gibson, and several other
straight out Democrats. The choice
probably lies, however, between
Spofford and Jonas with the chan
ces greatly in favor of the former,
who is by far the ADLER and better
qualified man of the two. Judge
Fl. NJ. Spofford IS the law partner
of Judge Campbell, formerly Of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and is scholarly man of fine legal
attainment. His political opin-
ions are strictly Democratic. B. f.
Jonas is New Orleans lawyer Of
moderate abilities, but Bourbon
Democrat of the most intense
school, and his strength lies entire
ly in that direction.

The Oil Excitement.

A letter just received here from
near Livingston, Overton county,
contains the following important
facts:
Il find the oil fever at full heat
in this and Putnam counties. A
new life and energy are perceptible.
Machinery is coming in from vari-
Gus points and everything indicates
that this region of our State, hith
erto almost pulseless, will throh
with all the fervent energy of the
oil region of West Virginia and
Pennsylvania. l have visited some
twelve or fifteen places where the
oil is oozing out from the ground.
In some places the sand is so satu-
rated that the oil rises when a hole
is made in it. This is especially
true of the region along West Fork
of Obey's River and Eagle Creek.
The wells, however, on Spring
creek, in the southern portion OF
the country, produced the largest
quantities of oil in 1S67-S. The
whole number of barrels obtained
from the wells on Spring Creek at
that time was 6,618. Some of the
wells overlooked and the oil for
weeks floated away on the surface
of the stream."-Ex.

In speaking of the war now about
to be opened in Eastern Europe, the
New York Evening Post says:
From our own point of view as
remote spectators of the war, with
goods to sell to both armies, we are
much too apt to forget that any war
is in many respects a terrible evil,
and to believe that the conflict will
be for us an unequivocal mercantile
blessing. In doing so we overlook
the fact that indirect effects of war
are often the most serious; that in
ternational commerce has become
so blended and intimate that the
disturbance of its balance does in
jury everywhere; that, for example,
the rise of gold which has already
begun IN Wall street, may, by post
poning specie payments, do us vast
ly more harm than all the goods we
can send abroad can compensate
us for.
