CONGRESSMAN RUSSELL, Grccnback-
er, Of North Carolina, who defeated
Waddcll last November, has been an
office holder almost all his life. The
son Of Il Unionist, he commanded a
company in the Confederate army at
the age Of seventeen. Refusing to
carry out the conscription laws, he
become engaged in bitter controvcr-
ey with the Confederate authorities
The people backed him and sent him
to the Legislature in 1861, when he
lacked two days Of being nineteen
years old, no age qualification then
existing in the State constitution. LII
1865 he was reelected to the Recon-
ttruction Legislature, still being under
age. Being defeated in 1866, he be-
gan to practise law in 1867, and in
1868 was elected judge Of the superior
court. His term lasted six years,
during which he was elected member
of the convention. In 1868, he de-
clined to run for Congress, and re-
fused to run as licutcnant-gov
with Caldwell, rs he was not thirty
years Of age, or he would have been
governor instead Of Brogdcn. He
was elected to the Legislature in 1876
and to Congress in 1878. A Rcpubli-
can originally, he is now Green
backcr, and conteSscs to slight COM
munistic principles. This is the man
who beat Waddcll in district gcncr-
ally Democratic by 5000 majority.
The Democrats were asleep, and the
Grccnbackers and Radicals, combined,
beat them q thousand votes.

Scenes in Congress.

Congress presented lovely spccta-
Gle few days ago, during the debate
on tic amendments to the appropria-
tion bill, providing for a repeal Of the
jurors test oath and the deputy mar
shalsa and supervisors law. The
former passed by party vote; but
the Republicans fought tho latter
desperately. Garfield in speech
intimatcd that the chairman, Black
burn, of Kentucky, had been ordered
by the caucus how to decide on ccr-
tain points Of order. This produced
a sensation and Mr.. Saylor called
Garfield to order. The chairman,
however, asked the House to let
Garfield alone as he would reply per-
sonally. Garfield crawfished by say
ing that he merely meant that the
chairman, by being member Of the
caucus, was under certain duress or
bias Of mind. Blackburn then said
that had the speaker maintained his
first position, the reply would have
been rs briefas it would have been
emphatic; but as the offensive remark
had been withdrawn he would accept
the explanation ungrudgingly. Most
emphatically, however, he denied that
ho or any other member OF tho caucus
was bound by any Instructions.
Blackburn is one Of the Blue Hens
chickens, and had Garfield tocd the
scratch lively scene would have re-
suited. The debate then continued.
Colonel Aiken made a good speech,
and in speaking of the rights accorded
to the negro, remarked that in South
Carolina tho negro for years had had
the right not only to sit on the jury
but to sleep OH it. Tho debate was
then postponed to some future day.
1t Is thought that the House will pass
both amendments, that the Senate
Will concur in the repeal Of the oath
but reject the other, and that the
Democrats Of the House, having put
themselves Oh record, will rcccde so
as not to make an extra session ncc-

IMAGINARY INTERVIEWING.

Enterprising journalism which
nowadays means manufacturing news
if it cannot be obtained otherwise, has
just received a sorely-needed snubbing
at the hands of the British admiralty.
A correspondent of one of the leading
New York dailies, writing up the royal
reception at Halifax, gave glowing
and graphic account of an interview
with the Duke of Edinburgh, in which
the sailor prince unburdened himself
to his new found friend, denounced
England's foreign policy, damned
Beaconsfeld, and in a rhetorical sense
I" smashed things" generally. A tele-
graphic summary of this remarkable
conversation found its way to the Bril-
fish government, and when the Duke
arrived i'll England he was promptly
called upon for an explanation. And
he promptly gave it by declaring that
no such conversation, or anything like
it, ever took place in other words, the
reported interview was n lie out of
whole cloth. Fortunately for the
correspondent, he was in
America and not in England, else he
might have received heavier punish
ment than popular derision and cou-
tempt.
This sort of thing is becoming alto
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1879-01-03

gether too common anong q class of
papers which rely more upon baass
than brains. The practice of /" inter.
viewing" is not necessarily bad. On
the contrary, II properly conducted 1t
has many advantages for all concerned.
But when the interviewer puts in the
mouth Of the person interviewed words
he never uttered, or gives to the words
he did utter false construction, 1t is a
gross outrage upon the individual and
gross insult to the public. 1t is the
meanest sort Of libel, because entirely
unprovoked and beyond the reach of
law. 1t is the meanest sort of lying,
because 1t is intended to deceive and
mislead the entire community. Instead
of calling such Journalism enterpris-
ing" 1t should be denounced as crimi-
nal, and treated accordingly.-&.L Louis

the Democratic press. The following
extract from the Herald's article is as
truthful as forcible.:.
The country press of this State has
done yeoman work in freeing it from
the curse of Radicalism, and now to be
utterly ignored and systematically
swindled by the party for whose benefit
1t has suffered and wrought so much, is
more than 1t proposes to bear. II the
Democratic-C conservative party thinks
1t can live without the powerful agency
OF newspapers, let it continue the mig
gardiy, dishonest and dishonorable
course that was adopted by the late
Legislature towards the press of this
State and, we venture to say, the op-
portunity will be afforded it. AS we
have all along claimed, the press does
not ask favors at the hands of any; 1t
only asks justice, and, IL that justice be
not freely given, as it is given to every
other class Of men, then let our patri-
otto statemen look to some other source
for aid-newspapers will aid them no

Pretty and Young

In every feature but the hair, which had
grown white from fever. This lady at So
writes us: ct have used Parker's Hair
Balsam six months and am more than
pleased with it. It has restored the natural
brown color of my hair and given it silky
softness, nicer than ever before. There is
no dandruf, no falling hair, and it leaves
the scalp so clean and nice aud cool that
am ever so much pleased, and feel and
look like myself again." Disinfectant pro-
perties that enter chemically into this pre-
paration render it healing, cleansing aud
healthful, and the beautiful, fresh and Wig
orous hair it produces, together with its
property of restoring tho hair to its natural
youthful color, leaving the head entirely
freed from dandruff, clean and healthy
surprises no less than it pleases. Buy a
bottle from George w. McFee and test its
merits.

Says the Indianapolis Journal: Ten
years ago the wife of u well-to-do con-
tractor of this city attended ball, on
which occasion she danced to excess.
Soon after she gave birth to an idiot
son, who in due time was consigned to
the poor-house. Ever since the boy
has been able to stand he has been go
ing through the motions of a crude
waltz. In his waking hours he is never
still a moment, but is continually whirl-
ing round and round or shutting along
the floor, keeping time to silent music
with his arms, head and body. The
boys parents are still living in the
city.

PAYDAY COMING.

From all appearances, the bottom
has fallen out of the credit of this State.
It appears that Louisiana cannot pay
the interest due this month on her
bonds. The Fiscal Agent-who is
some imaginary creature, good for
nothing In tight-incontincntly fed
the field, and, like all corporations,
without soul, has failed at the mo-
ment its aid was of any value. The
Funding Board or Board Of Liquida-
ton, or whatever 1t may be called, is
equally at fault, aud must, forsooth,
appoint a subcommittee to inquire
into the Indebtedness of the State, and
the way out.
Meanwhile, we have q Governor,
Auditor and Treasurer in this State.
What are these officials doing in the
administration of the finances of Louisi-
ana? And then-let us not forget it
we have Senator White Of Orleans,
who ia plethoric with financial facts
and figures, and could within himself
run a nation. Why, with all this wis.,
dom and greatness-with all these
powerful minds and thinking mems
Louisiana to-day O .defaulter and a
bankrupt?
Are we going to protest?

A TIMELY WARNING.
Madison Journal

Madison Journal
The Columbia Herald is Justly indig-
nant at the scurvy treatment the coun-
try press received at the hands of the
last Legislature and INDUCES in some
wholesome words of warning concern
ing the future. If the conductors of
the press were true to themselves there
would be no ground of complaint.
They make intellectual giants out of
pigmies, who become, too often, un.
faithful to their creators. They should
always bear in mind the important
fact that the Press has come to be ac-
knowledged as the IS Fourth Estate"
or subordinate only in influence to the
sovereign power of the commonwealth.
1t is mightier than the pulpit and
YIELDS more power than the forum, in
the proportion in which the sphere of
Its readers is larger and more varied
than any which can be reached by mere
vocal utterance. Welding such an in
huence, then, the fault of legislative
neglect must, in a great measure, be
traced to journalistic doors. Let the
country press of the State speak out
boldly and with no uncertain sound to
the coming Legislature concerning the
wrongs OF the past and we feel conf
dent they will be righted. Watch well
and criticise closely the conduct of re.
spective representatives and Senators
as proceedings progress-ss cutting to
the line, let the chips fall where thew
maryland the press will secure more
justice and the people at large more
equitable legislation. We agree with
the Herald that the Legislature should
be impressed with the fact that the
Democratic party must keep faith with

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

We have not said anything recently
upon this question because we have
regarded the matter settled, the only
point open for discussion being the pro-
per time for the election of delegates
and the meeting of the convention. In
our opinion, the election for delegates
should be held in March, and the con-
vention should assemble as soon after
as possible, say 10th April, and the new
constitution submitted to popular vote
early in the fall. The fact that no
general election takes place then is
fortunate circumstance. We wish the
single issue of the adoption of the new
constitution to be submitted to the
people, and we wish it done at time
when there will be no general organiza-
ton of the radicals in this State.
The time for discussing and parleying
is past, and we want TO see vigorous,
determined action taken.-Opelo4st.s
Courier.
So do we. We will go several steps
further, and say we are Indifferent
about an election for ratification of the
proposed new constitution. For one,
we will ratify it now. A constitutional
convention is sovereign. The Conven-
ton which carried Louisian out of the
Union sought no ratification OF its acts.
1t would be well for the Convention
that is to redeem Louisiana to follow
the example of the Convention OF
1860.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 31-The fund
ing Board, in executive session to-day,
adopted the following: Resolved, That
the Governor of the State of Louisiana
be directed and requested to publish
the following notice: In view of the
fact that under existing law tax col
lectors are not called upon to settle
their accounts with the State until the
Goth of January, 1879, and as a result
of this fact only the small sum of
80, 400 SO is now to the credit of the in
terest tax fund OF 1873, therefore notice
is hereby given to holders of State
bonds aud coupons due January 1st,
1879, that this important subject will
DO submitted to the Legislature for
action and remedy Immediately upon
its assemblage. [Note-The Legisla-
ture meets Monday.]
There seems to be no alternative but
for the State to default on January
coupons on consols. The State author
tiles express the belief that the entire
interest will be paid within three
months.
