WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Christianey said, in an interview to-
night upon the subject of the vacancy
on the Supreme Bench, that ex-Secre-
tary Bristow Ia the man who should
and probably would be offered the po-
sition. He declined to talk about HIM
self In connection with the place. He
stated, subsequently. however, that he
had always regretted the day he left the
bench to go, into the Senate, and II
Hayes should offer him Judge Davis
place he should accept.
+" Ii were President" said he, land
had inaugurated Southern policy, as
Mr.. Hayes has done, should select q
man south of the Ohio river, or south of
Mason and Dixon's line. It Is his evil
dent purpose to appease and eonciiiate
the Southern people, and as the South
has no representative In the Supreme
Court, 1t would seem very proper that
this appointment should be given to q
Southern man."
Judge Christiancy was asked by the
Times representative what he thought
OF Bristow as a lawyer.
He replied that Bristow had shown
himself q sound lawyer and good man.
His administration Of treasury affairs
Is simply proof Of this"
But does 1t follow that Bristow would
make q good justice of the Supreme
Court because he was good executive
officer In the treasury department ?"
inquired the reporter.
Not necessarily" replied the Sem
ator. Neither Is 1t necessary that he
should have been on the ben Oh before
to make q good justice. The chief requ-
sites for this position, as for all judicial
positions, are honesty and ability.

are anxiously looking for. III presi-
dent Hayes and those Sena-
tors who are In accord with
him are sincere In their professions of
an intention to inaugurate q more
liberal Southern policy than that OF
Grant, Judge Spofford will be permitted
to take his seatr-that Ia. II any one not
an out-and-out Radical will be permitted
between even Kellogg and such a MANI
IL they are not sincere then what have
we to do with the Senatorship or with
the government The farce had beat
end ut once; anything were better than
this terrible suspense, which is prostra-
ting every interest of the State and driy-
ing the people almost to the verge OF
frenzy. NORTH LOUISIANA,

A NEW ELECTION.

Editor N. O. Democrat In your issue
OF 14th inst. You say that Ii q new cleo.
ton is ordered In this State the good
people will carry 1t by fifty thousand
majority.
Iknow that you are, on sound princi-
pies, opposed to a new election, but this
prophecy of yours looks rs Ii you ad.
mitted the possible propriety Of the
thing being attempted.
III IL Is attempted 1t will be the great
est wrong yet inflicted on Louisiana
and to say that we would carry the
State by any majority ct all Ia ridicu-
lous, as long as we have the present
election laws and Radical villains to
administer them.
No, sir; let the people frown on every
suggestion Of the kind. We have had
a legitimate election, under Infamous
laws and Infamous men; we have fairly
won the victory, and we are installed In
power by the virtue OF our own strong
arms. Nothing but corrupt meddling
from Washington prevents absolute
peace. To consent to another election
will be to give up every right and help
to heap upon ourselves every wrong.
/ sincerely trust I am entirely wrong
In my suspicious, but 1t really looks to

her own people. To read the dispatches
from Washington, Ia TO be almost forced
to this conclusion. Can't some local
power order home every politician and
aspirant for Office? 1 believe, In my
soul. we should be infinitely better of.
Better far have no representation in
Washington than to have number of
wiseacres busy as bees In fixing up"
our cause, and yet disagreeing among
themselves as to what Should be done.

The leading editorial of the Times con-
tains the following:
Z" It may be truly said, the crisis of
the Eastern question has arrived. Never
during any phase OF the question has q
more important communication been
addressed by one State to another, than
that Of which Gen. Ignatieff and Count
Schouvaloff have been the immediaries,
The substance Of 1t is, that II Great
Britain and the other powers will agree
to maintain the settlement insisted
upon at the conference, aud to urge 1t
upon the Porte, Russia will be content
to act In accord with them, and will de-
mobilize her armies. This communica-

[Courier-Journall
COLUMBUS, March Il. THE withdrawal
Of Garfield from the Senatorial contest,
rs announced to you by the Associated
Press, creates considerable excitement
here, as 1t virtually removes all hope of
getting In man from the northern part
OF the State as Sherman's successor.
The contest Is virtually between Mat
thews and Taft, though Ben. Wade may
yet consent to run, and IL so, will COM
mand considerable number of votes,
and probably lessen Matthews chances,
which are by far the best now. Taft has
arrived, and Is putting In his work to
the best possible advantage. Garheld's
withdrawal, 1t Is understood, Is at the
earnest solicitation of President Hayes,
who to-day had a long conversation
with him, telling him he wished his aid
