passing through Morgan City on
the 22nd. could not select d place
to obtain a drink on account of
the numerous coffee houses. They
were q little particular and want

Finally they decided to c;fll on
Theodore Drew as a compromise
and take the chances.

SUFFERING, IN KANSAS,

According to. reports from Northeya
Kansas the people in. that section are in
a,starving condition. The lowest esti-
mate places the number of destitute
people at $4,000. The cause .of the .af-
Fiction is drought. Last year the
crops in Norton, Jewell, Washington,
Smith Decatur, Rollins, and part of
Phillips. Graham, Trigo and Ellis coun-
ties, in the northern part of the State,
were limited, and the supply of bread
stuhs on hand was scant. The fall
wheat died out as there was no snow
during the winter. Last spring they
planted corn, which was destroyed by
worms, only few. fields escaping the
rayages of the pests. The chintz bug
followed and destroyed what-the worms
lefts, The potato crop is also ruined by
the drought, and want and hunger are
staring the. settlers. in the face. Men
from the destitute. Districts are now. in

ROSECRANS FOR CONGRESS.

A Democratic Convention is to be
held in SAP FRANCISCO to-day for the
purpose of nominating candidate for
Congress from that district. The friends
of General w. S. Rosecrans are advo-
eating his. nomination for the position,
and it is probable that an arrangement
will be made by which all the elements
opposed to Horace Davis will combine
on Rosecrans. During the war he was
one Of. the most prominent officers i'll
the field. Since the close of the war he
was appointed United States Minister
to Mexico, a position which he filled
with marked ability. He..is man of
spotless reputation and broad and. COM
prehensive views. General. Garfeld's
military reputation was acquired while
he served on General Rosecrans staff,
but he left his chief in the field while
he retired to Ohio to engage in politics.
According to the ethlcs OF Republican
papers, Garfield, who left the army
with the enemy in it's front, can now be
safely trusted to keep down the rebels,
while General Rosecrans, who fought
for the Union fer years after Garfield
retired from the strife, is. a rebel sym
pathizer. 1t is greatly to be hoped that
that kind of argument will not deter
the Democrats of San Francisco from
giving him the nominatiop for Congress,
in which event his election will be as
sured, unless the tactics of four years
ago are repeated and men whose bones
have lain for years in Lone Mountain
are personated at the polls.

FHE ELK0 POST.

The Elko- Post las entered upon it's

paper, and one Of our favorite ex-
changes. just now, however, it is a
little wild ON politics. It's leading arti-
Giles purport to be extracts from the let
tiers and speeches If Senator Hampton
of South Carolina. Until quite recently
the Post was ,salyagt Republican
paper, but Sharons candidacy, together
with the fact tina, one of its proprie-
tors, first class, printer, was dis
charged from the California State print
ing office, for no other reason than that
of being a Democnt,. has soured it's
disposition. Under the circumstances
it is not much to blame.
