We also present report of the pro-

Sweetwater last week, to nominate
a democratic candidate for joint

"dyed-in the-wool republican, asks
US if We consider the Torbett issue
of the bank Of Tennessee a just
debt Of the state. We do not.
Those notes were Issued for war
purposes-for the purpose of arm
ing and equiPping a force to take
part in destroying the union. 1t is
a part Of a legacy bequcathed to the
state by the democratic party, 1t
was issued without regard to the
public interest, and without au-
thority. But it was done in such 9
way that it may be hard to prove it
and the people may have to redeem
it. IF so, it will be an outrage fol
which the democratic party is clearly
responsible. In point of morals
the people are no more bound tt
pay these Torbett issues than they
are to redeem the confederate
treasury notes.

We have received three letters
from Athens, detailing the stormy
proceedings Of the democratic sena-
torial conventiO held there on Sat-
urday. They are all from reliable
gentlemen, and all agree that it was
a disgracefnl affair. From the pug
nacious disposition manifested by a
portion of the delegates, and the
frequent expressions Of profanity,
one would naturally conclude that
there was too much whisky. The
refusal to endorse the Cincinnati
platform strikes Us as going back on
the national democracy, but
after all, we are not sure if the ma:
iority of this convention have no
displayed more candor than il
usually ct with in democratic con
ventions.

Hon. D. NJ KEY, late postmaster
general, entered upon his duties
yesterday as judge of the United
States district court for this district.
The appointment of Judge Key has
given universal satisfaction. AS
postmaster general, he discharged
his official duties in such manner
as to gain the confidence of all the
people. No one ever entered an
Office under circumstances more pc
culiar than he, and few men have
gained SO great popularity in SO

is candid, discreet, upright, honest

A large number of mules died in this
parish and in Caldwell and Richland
parishes Wednesday and Thursday of
last week-the number and value vari-
ously estimated. Tuesday of last week
we heard nothing of the fatality, the
cause OF which is now accounted for
by one as bolts, by another boat-corn,
another blind staggers, and by the ma
jority as gnats. We have seen no gnats,
but learn upon good authority that
they have been numerous in the To-
calities where the mules have died in
the greatest number. 1t is said that
these gnats are not the well-known
buffalo gnats OF this section, but larger
and of species not hitherto seen here.
They came very suddenly--on the
wings of the high winds Of last week :,
iiteraliy-and have disappeared alto
gether, we believe.

The Railroad Survey.

Tuesday evening Capt. Dabney's
railroad surveying party was about ten
miles west of the Ouachita, on the re-
turn from Arcadia. 1t is expected
that the return survey will be COM
pleted by the close of the present week,
weather permitting. .
We saw Major Green in his Office on
Third street, yesterday. From him we
learned that the return line, up to
Bonner, was about 1000 feet in distance
less than the Bonner survey. From
that point on to the point of junction,
he showed US that the latter survey
would be the shorter by about 1000 feet.
The point of junction of the two sur
veys, Major Green thought, would he
about two miles west of the river.
There was no other information
Major Green had TO give US, except
that Col. Ed. Richardson is still up
North on business connected with the
road, and that the purpose Of the new
company is to push the road through
as speedily as possible.

Judge Parsons of this judicial district.
The proceedings, which are quite
lengthy, reached US only ON Wednes-

late for insertion in the TELEGRAPH.

Rev. DIR. j. X. Guttlleilll.

1t affords as pleasure to notice the
recent visit of the Rev. DR.. J. X.
Guttheim, rabbi of the New Orleans
Temple, to Monroe. The Reverend
gentleman, although fatigued by travel,
kindly consented to deliver, on the
evening of his arrival, lecture on
Judaism, at Temple Sinai In this city.
The weather was decidedly Indictment,
and time had been wanting to give
notice of the lecture, but there was q
select and appreciative audience to
hear what the Doctor had to say. The
Doctors s'talk," as he termed it, was
delivered with both ease and eloquence,
and was highly acceptable to an audi
ence of eager listeners of the different
religious creeds and denominations.
The illustrations of his subject were
wildly given, and his explanations of
the universally of the religion of the
Jews not unsatisfactory received. To
unite the Gentiles and Jews In q more
friendly feeling, as members of. the
human family, seemed to be the praise
worthy object of the eloquent lecturer
and, we may say, the seed sown will
not fail of fruit.
The Doctor, we are pleased to add,
was we'll received by the citizens of
our little city, and we but express a
hope quite general that he was SO far
pleased with his brief stay as to make
US second visit some time in the near
future.
