Among the active members
of Congress in the present session
is Hon. j. 81. Acklen representa-
tive from this Congress District.
Although but a short while in
his seat, his labors are begin
ming to be perceived. The shak
ing up of dry bones among the
Government agents who have
been engaged in robbing the log
cutters in Calcasieu Parish, causes
those scamps to think that an
earthquake is approaching. His ct.
forts in obtaining, a hearing be-
fore the committee on commerce
after it had closed it's sessions has
secured the passage of All appro>
priation of ten thousand dollars
to dredge out lower Bayou La
tourche, in the lower house Of
Congress, and it will in all prob
ability pass the Senate. Mr.. Ack
len may be justly termed a work.
ing member of Congress.
The columns Of the Record
are not filed with long speeches
made to sleeping members, his
time being properly occupied in
committee rooms where his infu-
ence may be made effectual. He
is young, ambitious, Industrious,
three elements necessary to make
a good record.
We are pleased to learn
through our exchanges that Mr..
Acklen seems to be the unani
nous choice for his own successor,
this Fall. In fact no other name
has yet been mentioned for the
position.
The voters of this District
should see that he will be re. elect
ed by reclamation.
His past conduct requires that
this complement should be paid
him.

Joseph GuiIlOt.

The death of this estimable
young man on Monday last was
one Of the saddest events that
has taken place in this vicinity
for a long time. Universally be-
loved and esteemed by all who
knew him ;kind, affectionate, dig
nifed, honest, he possessed all
those amiable qualities which
make and constitute a man.
The realities of life had hardly
been exposed to his view, when
the heavy hand of death fell up
on him, with it's fatal power. The
deceased was a native of this Par
ish, and grew up in this town, al
ways by his genial and amiable
character attracting around him.
in intimate bonds of friendship,
those who were his associates aud
companions. He was a member OF
the young Mems Benevolent AS

compahied by the entire Fire De
partment and a large cOncourse

Death has sticken a shining
| mark when Joe. GujllOt fell in the
prime of his manhood
The bright prospects OF life:
with its enticing hopes and fair
illusions have all passed away as
the dews before the rising sun.
Peaceful be thy, slumber in the
quiet grave ; may flowers of atfec
ton ever decorate thy silent
home, and may evergreens cast
ing their shadows over all that is
mortal of a good, noble young
man remind us that He is not
dead, bnt sleepeth ; our brother
shall rise again."

1t is a nice thing for a man
to get drunk and show off his in
tellectual accomplishments on the
streets and it is also nice to draw
a knife and brandish it over his
head whilst threatening to send
some unpreparea victim to that
bourne whence the weary traveller
never more returns.
Such scenes are uice upon the
public streets, and are calculated
to make mankind generally re-
spect the prowesS of such mighty
men, bnt when the hero of such
warlike exhibitions wakes up and
finds himself in jail Tor 80 days,
the romance of such exhibitions
loses much Of its attractions.
