The Lieutenant Governor announced
that
HON. b. F. JONAS,
having received majority Of all the
votes, was duly elected Senator for the
full term beginning March 4, 1879.
On motion of Representative Jefries
a committee of three from the Senate
and five from the House was appointed
to inform Mr.. Jonas of his election.
The committee returned in few
minutes with Mr.. Jones, who was
introduced to the joint assembly by
the Lieutenant Governor.
| Mr.. Jonas then addressed the joint
assembly In ten minutes speech. He
thanked the members for the great
honor that had been conferred upon
him. Since the war he had always
acted with the Democratic party, that
great organization which, in his opin
ion, was at once the hope and mainstay
of the country. He had advocated the
principles of that party in season and
out of season, at all times and under
all circumstances, and his past course
was guarantee of his future action.
AS Senator he should favor with all
his energy and ability those great
national measures of internal improve
ments, the construction of levees in the
Mississippi Valley, aud the granting
of government aid to the Southern
Pacific Railroad. He should always
vote to secure the colored man in the
liberties and privileges guaranteed to
him by the amendments to the Con-
stitution of the United States, and
which the Democratic party in the
State of Louisiana had faithfully
observed and would continue to up
hold. Especially would he urge the
admission to the United States of the
rfghtful Senator, Hon. HI. M. Spodord,
Kellogg. Mr.. Spoford had received
the unanimous vote of the last Legis-
lature, irrespective of party, and yet a
man without any claim to the seat had
been admitted. This wrong should be
righted, and he pledged his every
effort to see justice done in the case.
Mr.. Jonas closed his remarks by re-
newing his thanks to the General
Assembly.
Dnrlug the address Mr.. Jonas was
frequently interrupted by applause
from the floor and Hobbies.
The Senate then withdrew and the
House resumed the consideration of its
regular business.

The President of the Democratic

for a Senatorial Convention:
MONROE, La, Feb'y 5, 1879.
Sir--I request you as member Of the

gates from this senatorial district to

I would urge, in addition, that you
take Immediate action, as the matter
will not admit of delay. Should the
Democrats of your parish hold Parish
Convention in time, would suggest
the selection of delegates by that body;
IT not, their selection by your Parish

give satisfaction.

EIaHrEEHTH OF MARCH.

EIGHTEENTH OF AARCH.
The General Assembly, In fixing
day for the election of delegates to the
Constitutional Convention, selected
Tuesday, the 18th day of March. We
do not know what particular reason
II apy-guided the Legislature In the
selection Of this day, nor do we consider
the selection more than ordinary routine
business; but the fact that the 18th at
March Is the anniversary of the birth
of the greatest statesman our country
has produced-a man who lowered In
thought above all his contemporaries
and who in his day was the Ajax of
Constitutional Liberty-has impressed
US with the fitness of the selection, and,
more than over, with the importance
and magnitude of the Issues to be de-
cided. Our readers will understand us
better when We remind them that the
18th of March (17s2) was the birthday ]
of JOHN CALDWELL CALHOUN, the |
great apostle Of Democracy and of
local selEgovernment. The coincidence
should augur well for the permanent
redemption of Louisiana from misrule, |
and for the establishment of Home
government based upon the enduring
truths to which tho great thinker of
South Carolina devoted his time, great
energies and talents up to the hour of
his death. Speaking in the Senate for
the last time, In reply 10 Mr.. Cass and
to Mr.. Webster, che fell back" we
are told, " in his seat exhausted, and
was taken to his lodgings and his bed,
whence he never rose again." His
death followed, March 81, 1850.
The intelligent, rejecting reader
may pursue the train OF thought suR-
gested by this coincidence of dates, and
we are sure, if he be Louisianan who
has suffered the wrongs and outrages
of Radical misrule, he will not 90 far
astray. We rather believe he will fol-
low the dictates of noble and patriotic
purposes, and will feel impelled to do
his utmost to make louisiana, as she
has well-earned right to be, a free,
sovereign State!
1t is not now, we wish to say, what
changes shall be made in our State gov
ernment. There has been no Constitu-
tional government in Louisiana since
the war. Alone OF all the Confederate
States, Louisiana remains without a
government of her own people.
What is to be done, is, to create
State out of territory. We are
to go behind the Radical returns, and
construct a governments suited to
advanced civilization and to the abso-
lutte necessities of the times. In this
spirit, and with this keynote struck,
the people OF Louisiana arc to 70 for.
ward to the permanent redemp-
tion of their State. Every other con-
sideration must give way. Too long
have we all suffered. There must be |
no scramble for the position of Dele |
gates. The spirit of John G. Calhoun
forbids this and all other selfish or
narrow-minded considerations. Tho
Democracy of which he was the great
interpreter, must not now-in Louis
lana, of all the Shakespeare recrant to
its sacred trust. The 18th of March
May it be day celebrated by poster
ity as the day on which the State of
Louisiana was restored to the right
full control OF its own people!

THE WATONWAN RETURNS.

County Auditor Knudson Exculpates Him
self.
It will be remembered that when the official
canvass of the vote cast for State officers was
made, the returns from Watonwan county were
missing and the result was declared, minus
that county. 1t was alleged that the auditor
had sent two copies of the returns for county
officers and no copy of returns for State Off
GERS. This was the declaration and verdict
of the canvassing board and the
GLOBE made public record of the fact.
When the announcement of the GLOBE per-
mieated Watonwan county, Auditor Knudson
found hornets nest about his ears, and. for
the purpose of indicating himself, he came to
st. Paul on Thursday. Proceeding to the Of
fee of the secretary of state, he found that
they had already discovered that they had
copy of the returns for State officers. Secre-
letter setting forth that the error occurred in
this wise:
Two envelopes were received from Watonwan
county, one marked ''State returns" and the
other county returns" The canvassing
board opened the one marked Estate returns"
and found therein the county returns. Then
it was suggested that the State returns might
be in the other envelope, marked as county
officers. Instead of opening the second en-
velope from Watonwan they opened the one
marked COUNTY returns from Cot
tonwood county and found therein. as
there should be, the vote for county officers.
On Wednesday after the canvass. they foun d
the oversight st the secretary of States office
and proceeding with the search, found the mis-
sing returns, but would have remained without
them to this date, but far the GLOBE publica-
ton. The only error of the auditor was the
placing of State returns in the envelope, mark
ed county returns and vice yersa. The canvas

MAN EATING NEAR ST. LOUIS.
Sir. LOUIS, Dec. 5.-1nformation is re-
Solved from the neighborhood of Horse Shoe
Bend, on the Mississippi river, about seven
miles north of this city in Illinois, that two
lions are roaming in the woods of that vi
cinity. a German farmer named Henry
Zimmerman was killed by them Wednesday
night, and yesterday little girl, Lille Dem
mis-, and colored child name unknown, was
killed. Great excitement prevails through
ont the southwestern part of Madison coun.
ty. The public schools have been suspended
and tomorrow a large body of men will
start on hunt for the animals. About
week ago train of cars, with the London
circus on board, coilided with another train
not Ear from East St. Louis, and one car
containing the lions was smashed. It was
supposed all the animals were killed, but
since then it has been ascertained two lions
and O hyena are missing, and there seems
to be no doubt the beasts in Madison county
belonged to this circus and escaped from the
crushed car at the time of the collision.
Sr. Louis, Dec. 5.-The story about two lions
being in Madison county, Illinois, and having
killed one man and two children, published
in the Post Dispatch this afternoon, a brief
account Of which was telegraphed from here
to-day proved to be hoax.

PECULIAR SUIT.

Norway Endeavoring to Collect $4,000
from the United States of America.
There's an interesting case on trial before
Judge Nelson involving the recovery of
$4,000, besides these other points: The
case is entitled M. A. Anderson ct al. vs.. The
First National Bank of Mortified, and has
stretch so far as persons are con-
oerned all the way to Norway.
The allegations 60 that several
years ago, one Mickerson came to North
field from Norway. He had draft from
M. A. Anderson on Juergens & 90. of La
Crosse, Wisconsin. This draft, $4,000 in
amount, was deposited with Phillips & Co.,
or the First National Bank of Mortified.
Mickerson retained, however, $500 of the
amount, making the deposit in fact $2,4OO.
Tho draft was adjudged good and
taken under arrangements existing between
the North6eld bank and the La Crosse con-
Germ, but, when presented at the counters of
the latter concern, the bank of Juegens &
Co. was found to have failed. In due time
Mickerson came for his money, and, on ac-
count of tho above unfortunate circumstances,
the bank refused to pay over, holding that
Juegens & Co.'s failure shouldn't be their
loss. At any rate, the Norway house Of M.
A. Anderson made the amount good to Mick
erson, and bring suit to recover from the
Mortified bank. Notable legal talent is en-
gagged on both sides, the plaintiff being rep
resented by Cameron, Losey g. Bum and
Hon. George Il. Otis, while the defendants
interests are committed to Hon. Gordon e..

the stand. So far he has proved the most val
liable witness yet examined, answering all
questions promptly, keeping nothing back.
He claims the removal of the agency was the
CONFINEMENT of the trouble; that atan eleva-
ton of $500 feet, with frosts every month
in the year, farming was impossible; that he
and his bands received no rations for year,
which he claims was violation of the treaty Of
1868; that the engagement was fair fight. He
calls Douglas squaw man for his having at
tackled the agency. and insists that a white
man, under the same circumstances would
have fought Thornburgh.

Tho Battle of Nashville.

The United Service Magazine, of Phila-
delphia, periodical devoted to naval and
military affairs, for January has an article
from Gen. r. w. Johnson, of this city, rela-
tive to ssthe battle of Nash ville.'' Some of
the heretofore unwritten history of that
signal conflict is published, and again
adds to the renown of The great soldier,
Geo. Il. Thomas. Gen. Johnson's article is
given with the brevity common to the SOL
der, but throws much light upon an event
heretofore overshadowed, as it were, by the
subsequent surrender of the rebel forces.
Another article of equal interest treats of a
later event, that of the Thornburgh-
Payne fight with the White
River Ute Indians. Capt. j. Scott Payne,
Fifth United States cavalry, commanding
after Major Thornburgh's death, is the con-
tributor. He describes the incidents of the
march, the battle and the long days of sus-
pense while his command was besieged by
the savage foe graphically and with intense
interest. The description of this recent
frontier tragedy embraces the facts so
admirably given in Captain Payne's official
report of the affair. but has the additional
interest of elaboration Of detail, which on
the whole makes valuable contribution to
the history of the army, and marks Captain
Payne as modest and gallant soldier, who
is equally brilliant author.
