KELLOGG A CARPET.BAGGER.
And Brought tsOodles'' of Money to
Louisiana.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-Senate.-
Ingalls, reference to the exodus from
Louisiana, and an extract read by him
from the New Orleans Times, led to a
long colloquy between Senators Kel-
logg and Jonas, touching the right of
the latter to speak with authority for
Louisiana Democrats. Kellogg said
Jonas published a card ten days ago,
denying that there was any repudia-
ZIONIST element in Louisiana worth con-
sidering and stating that the Commit
tee of Eighteen in the Constitutional
Convention were his friends and repre-
sentcd his views; since that time, said
kellogg, twelve of that committee
have signed report rcpudiating the
entire debt except four or five millions
held in New Orleans. All the debt
held abroad is rcpudiated in favor of a
few men who hold warrants fraudulent
on their face and for which the State
received no consideration whatever.
Every one of the twelve signers OF
that report was Democrat and all
who signed the minority report were
Republicans or Independents. Now
who is the best authority on Demo-
cratic policy in Louisiana?
Jonas replied that the State debt was
| increased from six to twenty millions
during tho Warmoth and kellogg ad.
ministrations, with the approval of the
gentleman, who protested to be the
Governor of that State, though he
| never was chosen by her people. Not
one dollar was expended for the public
welfare but was spent by carpet-bag-
gers which the gentleman (Kellogg)
represented, and went into the pockets
of individuals without doing any good
to the people. He did not, however,
believe tho debt would be repudiated.
He also said that the New Orleans
Times was no representative of public
opinion in Louisiana. II Auditor Clin-
ton, counted in on the Kellogg ticket,
is part owner of that paper he was ex-
trcmely fortunate in acquiring wealth
during tho few years he was Auditor,
to enable him to purchase it. He is no
representative of the Democrats of
Louisiana; neither is the gentleman
(I<ellogg).
Kellogg-During my administration
the State debt was reduced one-third,
No bond was issued save under law
and to a limited extent. AS to nv
identification with Louisiana, I was
not born there, neither was my col
league. 1 am a carpet-baggcr and so is
he. l paid more taxes there in five
years than lie did in fifteen.
Jonas-Whcre did you get the mon-
cy:
good deal of it there, and my interests
are rs great in the State rs yours and
greater.

G4On TO the 0f6glSS0f6O VOtekS O1 TIC
State (meaning that every man who
was engaged in the defence OF his
State and cause were not included
among those to whom this precious in
strument should be submitted) in &C
cordance with an oct Of Congress for
the "better government of the rebel
States" The very idea that a constitu-
ton was necessary, not for the happiness
and welfare of the people; not because
the citizens demanded it., but simply
to gove.,s them according as the ideas
of an implied greater power might de-
sire, is so utterly repugnant to the very
essence of democracy that it is appall-
ing that men should contend longer to
retain it. That in the beginning this
constitution should declare that all
power, all government, must spring
from the consent of the governed and
then to say that this very instrument,
intended as a restriction upon the
rulers, should assume being, have le-
Called form, should be adopted, sub
mitted and ratified in accordance with
the demands of the Congress of the
United States, stamps the whole instru-
ment with the indeliable mark of its
creation. 1t is not our purpose to fol-
low this constitution through and
point out those defects which are ap.
parent and which are repugnant to
civilization-thosei infamous caricatures
which attempt to assume Deity and
would force commingling of races in
places of common resort and in public
schools which the amendments shirk,
and by that Sinking endorse, in q
most contemplate and cowardly man
ner-but we only call attention to
where the very spirit of the whole is
violative of every principle of true
democracy and subversive of liberty.
And to cap all we conclude with the
following resolution, among the last
acts of q convention that will stand
out in history as an instrument of des-
pOtism, which Is even moro conclusive
of the facts we are attempting to Illus
trate that the instrument of 1868 is
anti-republican.
BY Mr.. Belden:

Major General Hancock and inform
him that the Constitutional Convention
has completed its labors, and that the
Constitution is asos0 ready to be submitted
for ratification to the qualified electors
Of tile State.
The above article appeared in the
Natchitochcs Vindicator of June, or
July, last year-the precise date we
failed to note on the clipping at the
time.
1t is reproduced now to say that we
endorse the sentiments Of the article
fully; and to ask the Vindicator
whether, or not, it considers itself
bound by the bonds issued under the
Constitution of 1868, or by the Just and
eloquent denunciations of that iniqui-
tous fraud above reproduced

been caught in immense quantities in
in the vicinity of Hot
Springs. This shows that there is no
reason why the fish should not be

New Orleans apers call upon the peO-
pie along the rivers in that region to
stock them with young shad.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Yale & Bowling VS.. John II. Cole.
This suit, for So, 2s7 OF, with s per cent
interest from 18th June, 1878, on $500,
and on the residue from 1st December,
1873, was commenced by attachment.
The order required plaintiffs sto give
bond in the sum and conditioned as the
law Directs" Bond was given in the
sum of $4,000.
Defendant moved to set aside the
attachment, rs there was no sufficient
bond executed by plaintiffs. The
amount of tho bond lacks $57 OF OK
ceeding the sum claimed and one-half
more. That was tho construction
given to Article 245, G. p, up to the
time of it's revisal in 1870. The Ian
guage of tho article as it now stands is
Just the same as it was when written
in 1925. In all editions subsequent to
that of 1926. the word "by" was in
serted between scXcceding' and Gone
half" to make it conform to judicial
interpretation.
The Article Of the Code reads thus :
Art. 245. A creditor, his agent or
attorney in fact, praying such attach
ment, must, besides, annex to his petit
ton his obligation in favor OF the de-
PENDANT for q sum exceeding one-half
that which he claims, with the surety
OF one good and solvent person residing
within tho jurisdiction of the court to
which the petition is presented, as
security for the payment of such dam
ages as such defendant may recover
against him in case it should be de-
cidcd that the attachment was wrong
fully obtained.
part of the original law and not neces-
sary to express its meaning-sserceeelin
tlitt ,ufich he claims one hoy."
"Bcsides, it is settled and has become
axiomatic," say the Court, "that when
laws are c.enacted in the Same words
of the original act, the judicial con-
struction of those words is a part of the
re-enactment."
The lower court sustained the motion
to set aside the attachment, and that
judgment is affirmed.
Judge Spencer disscntcd, because he
thought the language of the article free
from ambiguity that damages are sell
dom awarded in excess of onc-half the
debt claimed, and to exact more was
oncrous and unnecessary. Further,
that many Districts of the State inter-
pref the article, as it now stands, to
mean oue-ho!f Of the eze6t, and that con-
struction would prejudice no one,
while that now adopted will be ruinous
in its effect upon tho rights of many
litigants i'll pending suits.

opinion of the Court.

A Fascinating Swindler.

lCorr. London StandarI.l
An extraordinary swindler has
just made his appearance before
the Correctional Tribunal of
Nantes. He called himself the
"Comte de Naux,n but his real
name was Dorsainville. He was
born at Port au Prince in 1929. At
the age of thirty he left his native
town for reasons of a delicate ma
ture; the police had been ordered to
arrest him for embezzlement. On
his arrival in the Old World he
took up his residence in Paris,
where his good looks and fluent
tongue soon succeeded in leading
astray the daughter of rich bour-
geois, whom he married in 1859.
Having run through his wife's for
tune in @ twelvemonth, and while
she was yet alive, he looked out
for another partner. This time he
captivated jewelers. daughter;
but the father-in-law, discovering
shortly after the wedding that the
"Comteu was fonder of the dia-
monds in his shop than of his
daughter, sent him about his busi-
ness. The adventurous Creole then
crossed the Channel, and got mar
ried to an English girl of q well-to-
do family. 1t is necessary to here
state that these marriages alternat-
ed with certain difficulties from the
police, which will explain the rup-
lures in his copjugal life. For in
stance, in 1860 he was sent to pris-
on in Paris for embezzlement; in
| 1862 he was sentenced by
default to five years. imprisonment
for swindling; in 1864, at Geneva,
to five years. imprisonment for for
gerry; IN 1869, at Brussels, to two
years imprisonment for theft; and
again, in Paris, in 1872, to three
wears for embezzlement. The
charge on which he was tried on
the present occasion was a swindle
of an ingenious combination. 1t
appears that the manager of the
Fantasies Lyriques Theatre, at
Nantes, was on the point of bank
ruptcy, when he received letter
from London signed General de la
Miranda in which the writer Of
fered to put up $4,000 francs at his
disposal to save him. The mana
ger, jumping at the offer, repaired
to London with notary. The
"General," who was none other
than Dorsainville, explained that
the money WAS partly at Florence
and partly at Madrid, but that 1t
would be necessary to advance
5O ono francs In order to get possess
lsion of it. The manager obtained
the assistance of two Englishmen,
and the whole party set out to-
gether, first for Florence and then
for Madrid; but it is hardly neces-
sary to add that the promised gold
en- fleece could not be discovered,
and the poor theatrical manager
returned home $1,000 francs out OF
pocket. The prisoner was SEN
fenced to three years imprison-
ment and ten years supervision Of

Thrilling Adventure on the Hudson
River Railroad.

One of tho narrowest escapes on
record on the Hudson River Rail-
road occurred last night. AS the
fast mail train, which leaves the
Grand Central Depot, New York,
at half-past O'Clock, was emerg-
ing from Breakneck Tunnel, q lit
tie this side of Cold Spring, while
running at a high rate of speed, it
suddenly came upon a horse and
buggy which was attempting to
cross the track, throwing them
high in the air. AS SOON as possi-
bic tie tram was stopped, and the
conductors and one or two others
went back, when the horse was
found lying dead over fence by,
and the buggy smashed into atoms.
What was their surprise, however,
when they found man, who was
In the buggy at the time, sitting
up between the tracks, and appar-
emily but little injured. He got up
in a few moments and walked to a
house near by, when the men went
back to the train, and 1t proceeded
on again. 1t is said by railroad
men to have been one of the mar
rowest escapes ever known on the

1t has ever been predicated by
scientists (?) that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to us as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. 8 Also street, the
largest dyeing establishment in the
city, and witness the operations of
Marteen as he segregates the COM
ponent parts of each sunbeam and
transmits them in various shades.

Mr.. Cameron dreamed, when he
was boy that he would be massa-
cred by Indians at the age of AZ.
The same vision was repeated ten
years later, and with such vivid
ness that every detail was left inn
pressed upon his memory. He was
at a ranch near Brute City, Dako-
ia, a short time ago, when his for
ty-seventh birthday arrived. The
place was alive with friendly In
dians; but he recollected his dream,
and their presence made him ex-
cessive!y nervous. He went to bed
in trepidation, and, to his horror,
as he afterward declared, the room
was exactly like the one OF his
dream. He fell asleep, and prompt.
ly dreamed that the Indians were
scalping him. He bounded from
his bed, leaped from a window and
fled, temporarily insane. In the
morning he was missed, and large
party of white men and Indians
went IN search of him. 1t was three
days before they found him, for he
hid whenever he caught sight of
an Indian, and only slowly recov-
cred his senses. He was naked, and
nearly dead with hunger.

A characteristic trait of East In
dian hill character Is depicted In
the following narratives; An officer
stationed in q hill district lately
visited town, and while there
made some purchases, attended al
ways by a wild creature OF the

a personal servant. In the course
of the day he went Into shop to
buy a small but expensive article,
and on getting outside, when at
some distance from the door, the
hill man, with all due respect to
his master. produced from hla waist

begged the Englishman to accept.

asked the master. "Sahib," he re-
nlied. "I saw that accursed bun

has only just been promoted to the
honors of that happy relationship,

it?n Grandmamma replies that she
will call the family physician, and
be with her anxious daughter in a
moment. She awakened the doc

she has learned from her daughter.
He in turn requests to be put in
telephone communication with
the too anxious mamma. "Lift the

child is lifted, and it coughs.
"rhat's not the Group" he de-
