a Baby Waiting fora Name,
The fact was noted ten days or
more ago that the wife of Senator
Gordon, of Georgia, had been deliv-
cred of girl baby. The SoGth Car
alma difficulty had been settled, and
the Senator at first proposed to call
the new conner "Carolina," but as he
already had daughter named Caro-.
line, this would not do, as the pet
name (Carrie) would be the same for
both, so he determined TO wait until
tho Government of Louisiana was
turned over to Nichols. when he
would give his little one the name of
sI.ouisiana. Judging from Pack
ards obstinacy and the difficult task
of the Commission sent to New Or
leans, the baby of the Georgia Sena-
tor will be nameless for some time to
come. DELTA.

THE opinion has beea. circulated
that some CONSERVATIVES" from the
South would DECLINE to join the Dem
ocratio caucus atthe next session of
Congress and that Hayes mana
lukewarm, neither cold nor hot man
would be chosen Speaker. But now
that they have got South Carolina and
are sure of Louisiana, the prospect is
abandoned. Not Democrat is ex>
pec,ed to get out of his old rut. Hayes
will not get Democrat to follow
him.

The Elk Confederates and President
Hayes.
From the Richmond fya1 Wing !

We have no sort of hesitation in announce
ing now, in view of what we believe to be the
Southern policy of the President, and in adj
vance of the assault we expect to be made
upon him on account of that policy, that we
have no idea Of being Indifferent looker5-on
upon the combat between the factions, if it
come, we mean to go into it with all our
might on the side of the man whose enemies
in his own party would strike him down for
not holding down the oppressed and persecut>
ed people of the South. These are ouI senti>
ments; and we have not doubt, if the con-
templated emergency arises, we shall see that
they are the sentiments of ninety~nine hum
dredths of the best and bravest of the men
who were four years in the field for the cause
of the Confederacy.
Possible! why, we were looking
for the rebels all to be Republicans.
Aren't they always on our side? So
the four year fellows are goingto
stand by Hayes!-till the bust of jeff
Davis and Wilkes Booth adorns the
National halls and Union soldiers
hang their heads in shame when re-
minded of their caste. What respect
will they have for Hayes then?

AS compromise between Dewey,

The history of the affair, as explaio-
ed by Senator Howe himself, in the

fleet great credit on that gentleman.

GREAT fault is found with the manner of
voting al d to railroad corporations of late and
it has tor some time appeared as tho ugh the
Lawmakers of our State would pass some law
looking to a correction of what is, in this con-
nection, really an abuse When the voters of
any locality have submitted to them the de-
cision by ballet, whether or not the property
of the town or city shall be taxed for anv rail-
road or other corporation, why should the man
who owns no property and pays no taxes, be
allowed 10 vote an increased tax upon the
hard earned property of his neighbor? Those
owning property alone should have the right
TO vote on such occasions and we hepe to
have in the near future, an enactment to this
effect.-Fond du Lac Commonwealth.
One step TOW ard excluding a class
of men from the polls might not be the
last. A man with no property has as
mach right to vote away tho. property
of poor man as the poor man has to
vote away that of .ae rich. When
legislatures do. The right thing they
will establish that voters have no
more right TO vote mans property
I'M @ :he pockets of private corpora
lions than they have to vote that the
unequal wealth of the rich shall be
equally distributed among the poor.
One man has nc natural right to vote
away the property of another for
private use. whether he has property
himself or not.

Providence. May 27.-On Tuesday next
Gov Lippu will leave the Executive chair Of
Rhode Island. Lppitt is man of ability am
hiton,and Of honor in pccuniary affairs. But for
his personal weakness and his unfortunate
association with some very diSroputablc per-
sons he might have aspircl To- higher honors
than the Executive chair of Rhode Island. But
while the people of this State are tolerant in re-
gard to mans personal habits, they do not
like to see propricty dcfcd too grossly and pub
licly. Gov. Lipptt bought his scat, and, like
other rich men who bought the same scat be-
fore. he started TO make name for himself by
