Senator { Bstis.

/, The coming Legislature will have to elect
q Senator TO succeed the Hon. J. y. Eastis,
whose time expires on the fourth day OF
March next. We presume that there are
many aspirants, but we know of no one
whose claims should be considered before
those Of Mr. Eusti,.
We know something of his official record,
aud what we know leads ns to cone boldly
out in favor of his ne reelection. We do not
remember to have noticed that any other
journal has rs yet advocated the claims OF
Mr. Eustis. His official acts have been
spoken of kindly, but in the midst of the
yellow fever excitement il seems to have
been forgotten that his place is to be filed
We favor Mr.. Eustis' reelection for many
reasons, not the least of which is that he
has shown ever since he entered the Sem
ate, an earnest desire to advance in every
way the interest of his State. He responds
promptly and courtcously to all communi-
cations. and especially those which have
for their object any project for the good of
tho people of Louisiana.
Mr.. Eustis is member Of the Senate
Committee on Commerce, which, for Loni-
siana, is n most important one. To this
committee matters Of greatest interest To
our people will he presented. New mem
bers are not likely to he appointed on
those subdivisions Of the Senate and "a
the term is six years. older Senators are
given usually the more important places.
Mr. Eustis 10y his activity and energy, by
his well known devotion to the material
interests of the country has also won a
place on the Railroad Committee. In this
! and the other one mentioned much business
| is transacted. Indeed il may be said that
| almost all the work Of the Senate is done
| by it's various divisions into committees.
Mr.. Eustis' committee work has been for
the advantage Of Louisiana, as witness.
the appropriations Of Red River; the
New Orleans Mint and other bills
Our space is not great enough this week
TO justify our going into full details with
regard Ia Senator Eustis' claims upon the
people. Suffice it Ia say that to our mind
they are greater than those Of any other
man who may likely be spoken Of in con,
nection with the place.
IL there be any charge against the Sena'
tor we would like to hear it. With oul
knowledge of his character We shall insist
upon our representatives giving him ar
active support.

State Politics.

The campaign is beginning to develop
briskiy in New Orleans. The National
party, under the leadership of Frank
Hatch, a Democrat Of prominence before
the war, will receive the support Of the
Republican party, which will nominate no
State ticket. Hatch has telegraphed to
Gen. Beauregard offering him the nomina-
ton for Treasurer in opposition to Burke.
The usual irresponsible emssaries have
began their work Of organizing the negroes
in Webster parish. An independent can
didate for the Legislature is expected in
that parish.
Allen Greene, Of Lincoln, it is said, will
be q Greenback candidate for Congress.
Contrary to the views expressed few
weeks ago We and that there will be some
form Of radical organization in most Of

And last, We urge ~ q reason Why ve
