UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The Picayune espouses the claims of
Gen. Gibson for U. S. Senator from
this State.
The Democrat favors Gov. McEnery,
as docs also the new paper, the New
Orleans States.
On this subject we quote from the
Shreveport Standard:
We perhaps have no men on whom
a Senatorial seat will thrust itself I'M
solicited. We perhaps have no Living
stons or Porters or Benjamins. But we
have a number of men we'll qualified
to make faithful guardians of the rights
of the State, and who can maintain
quite a respectable position in the Sem
ate. We have men of character, talent,
learning and oratorical ability, with
out q conjunction of all which Sena-
tor would be but a figure-head in Con-
gress. But none of these can get elected
without making proper efforts to &C.
complish their purposes. We do not,
therefore, condemn vigorous contest
for the much coveted prize. We only
wish it to be conducted within the
bounds Of propricty.
On another page the reader will
find Il copy of a special dispatch from
Washington to the New York World ,
in reference to tho Senatorship.
Our contemporaries, we fear, have not
consulted the "blind man." The ques-
ton properly comes before him.

The sMerry McAvoys," from the
Southern Concert Garden, Vicksburg,
have been exhibiting at the Opera
House during the week. The troupe
is good one, and those who have at
tended their performances bear us out
in this opinion. We regret that they
have not met with the success which
they anticipated. Tonight there will
be an entire new and attractive pro-
gramme, and we bespeak full house.
The Company closes its engagement
here tomorrow night. From what
we are told by one of the members
we infer that the programme to-mor-
row night Saturday will be unusually
attractive, introducing negro minstrely,
comic songs, &c. The admission is
only soc: children half price.

Various exaggerated reports have
found their way into the newspapers
as to the amount of the Hood fund
thus raised, some statements placing it
as high as 800, 900, or nearly ten times
the actual sum. The chairman of the
Relief Association at New Orleans re-
ports it officially at only S1O,963, of
which so, 500 have been invested In
United States bonds. Much more,
however. will have to be collected in
order to provide for the nurture and
education of ten children.

A BAD Practice.
New Orleans Democrat.l

NEW Orleans Democrat.l
We Anrn with regret and pain that
our eminent fellow-citixen Norris
Marks, chief of United States Internal
Revenue Department at this place, was
yesterday set upon and battered by
another felloW.cftizen of the name of
st. Martin. Perhaps our regret will
not rise to very dizzy heights as COM
pared with Marks's, but they are con-
siderable, for all that. We object
strongly to the spectacle Of Collector
of Internal Revenue being battered
upon the public street. 1t is unplcas-
ant to ladies, 1t Is revolving to Marks
himself, and 1t sets a bad example to
small boys. These things should be
done In the seclusion of conee-house
or in the dim religious light of q lum-
ber-yard. Under those circumstances
the process may be soothing to the
batterer and instructive to tho battered
without lowering the moral tone of the
general public. They are surrounded
with halo of decency. Against this
ostentatious and vain.gloriOus style of
tearing down an eminent official and
swabbing the sidewalk with him, In
full view of the populace, however, we
strongly and urgently protest. Beside
being narrowing to the eminent official,
1t Ia demoralixing In its tendency. We
do hope that the next time MI. st.
Martin feels like going out q pile
driving on Marks, he will lead Marks
out quietly but firmly to some lonely
spot-some sequestered fence-corner,
like. 1t will be preferable.

Cotton.

The sales of cotton tor the week end
ing at noon yesterday were smaller
than they might have been, caused,
probably, by the inclement weather
and bad condition Of some of the roads,
Mr.. Surghnor reports having weighed
500 bales.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1880-01-09

OF the above amount, 41,715 bales
were shipped to New Orleans, and
1,127 bales to Vicksburg. For the
corresponding period in 1873 the ship
ments to Delta amounted to 14,62s
bales.

last week as having charged this re-
porter with misrepresenting the present
and future equilibrium Of the river has
ssstrutted," curled that graceful mus,
tache of his, and retracted his insinua-
ton. Good feeling prevails now.
The Fred. Blanks passed Memphis
Tuesday and was due at Vicksbure
Wednesday. It is possible, though not
positively certain, that she will leave
New Orleans for Monroe, Trenton and
Ouachita City tomorrow evening; and
it is also probable that she may wait
until Wednesday, which will be her
regular day of departure from the
Crescent City. .r-
The VIM. Pagan, for Camden, passed
up Tuesday evening considerably be-
hind time-cause, heavy freight, bad
weather and an insufficient number of
deck hands. Down to-day, or to-mor-
row; and maybe Sunday.
The old reliable John H. Hanna ar
rived at o'clock Saturday evening
somewhat behind time, having been
detained by for and bad weather. She
is due up tomorrow, and leaves on her
return tomorrow night. The genial
Ben Cornwell holds forth in the Office
and Capt. Fred. Blanks commands.
The John Howard passed down
about o'clock Monday morning with
all the cotton she could carry-about
2,4OO bales. She leaves New Orleans
tomorrow evening, Saturday., and
will pass Monroe going up Tuesday. =
The Corona passed up for Camden
about o'clock Thursday evening with
q big load: too late, however, to be re-
ported in our last issue, our report
having been closed.
The Clara s., from New Orleans, ar
rived Friday evening. Mr.. Packard,
her accommodating clerk, will accept
our thanks for kind remembrance.
For the information of those of our
readers who, like this reporter intend
to sstake in" Mardi-G ras, we would re-
mind them that this year it falls on
Tuesday, February 10th. Get ready;
the magnificent Fred. A. Blanks will
take you there cheap.
The Clara s., from the Bartholomew,
with 1900 bales cotton, passed down
Tuesday evening. She added a few
bales of cotton here, and left her card,
which will be found elsewhere in this
paper, and to which we call the atten-
ton of our readers.
The Gen. Chas. H. Thompkins, a
peculiar looking concern, in search of
cotton seed, passed up Monday even
ing. Her chimney (having only one)
is the most conspicuous feature about
her, it being tall enough for a boat
twice her size. Instead of having her
boilers on the lower deck she has them
just below the hurricane roof. II she
goes up the Bartholomew, 1t is quite:
probable that that chimney, if there be
any of it left, will be sadly in need of
repairs.

A BOON TO. LADIES.
Our Honest Opinion of Stewards Adjusta-
bic TreadIe for Sewing Machines.

1t is a part of the duty OF the journalist to in-
vestigate, for the patron benefit. the merits of
all Inventions and if worthy, to encourage Them
and il injurious only ordinarily acceptable to
either denounce them or let them severely alone
In this spirit we have patiently looked into the
claims OF new machine treadle invented by w.
III. Stewart, for which MeSsrs Roseberry and
Craig of this city, are sole propretors and agents
for the state OF Missouri, with their headquar-
tiers in Mexico, Mo. II is a settled fact that on
account of the injury to the back and loins, con-
sequent upon the unsupported strain upon these
parts, the strongest female operators fail III less
than two years, and delicate ladies are unfit to
run their sewing machines indeed, their physi-
clans compelling them. as they value their lives,
to desst. The machines are all right enough.
but the labor of running them is too great a
strain on the physical system, and to relieve this
distress, and to enable the sewing machine to be-
come boon indeed, to the world, and it makes
it almost sentiment thing, Stewards Adjustable
Treade was invented. 1t is so simple and yet so
perfectly scientific that. as usual the marvel is
that no one thought of it before the old style OF
propulsion by pressing on the ball and heel of
the foot alternately thereby straining the mus
cles of the lower limbs, and making the back
and limbs. and in fact, the whole body ache and
become weary, Is dispensed with. and the feet
set firmly on treadie that gently swings to and
fro, there being none but an ankle motion, and
that is so slight that any lady, able to walk or sit
iii a chair can run one with no fatigue, there be-
ing no perceptible motion or wearying of the
body whatever. The cost is so slight and the
benefits immeasurahle that physicians and cer-
gymen endorse it heartily, and after calling ON
several ladies now operating them, in the city
we were constrained 10 purchase one for our bet
ter half and after fair test, Mrs. White is high
ly pleased with its work, ami, therefore, the LED
GER falls into line with this hearty assurance
that it will make the labor of running a sewing
machine a pastime. This treadle Is by no means
a new and untried affair-in the East if has been
in successful operation for two or three years.
and we have now, on our desk, a large number
of certificates from prominent physicians who at
test its benefactiOnS to our wives and daughters
