impeachment and retired in good order.
From the Terrebonne Chronicle.
The assumption of George Drury of
Assumption was too much for the willy
Marks of Internal Revenue stamps.

1t may turn out that Marks trip to
Chicago, will trip him up in his Congress

That would-be Congressman can't

F01n the Terrebonne Courier.
We believe that the best element of
the Republican party, in this parish, is
sick and tired of Cnstom-House rule,
and we know that they will not conn-
tenance the removal Of james Lewis.
Lewis was removed because he dared to
have an opinion Of his own. After this
we shall have Custom House candidate
for Congress to come before the Republi-
cans Of this district. We wonder If the
Republicans of Terrelpnne will swallow
that dose
From the Morgan City Free Press.
Norris Marks is assured Of the support
of his Custom-House colleagues for the
Congressional nomination in the Third
District. They all know him web and
the Office lie now holds is good one.
They know he has no possible chance of
al election to Congress, but if he accepts
IL nomination he will kindly obey the
civil service rule, and quit the Internal
Revenue Office. The revenue must not
be used for election purposes, they argue,
and they never wanted Marks in that Of
fee at any time. There are other patri-
OTIS longing for it. # the Republicans of
this district will kindly bury Marks be-
You'd hope of q resurrection, in q po-
litical sense, their gratitude will ascend
like savory incense. For this reason,
miscellaneous men like Oscar Crosier, and
few thousand others, will try to keep
Marks in the revenue Office to prevent
those other fellows from being happy.
From the New Orleans States.
Morris Marks has gone up the river to
make his canvass for Congressional hon
Ors. 1t is understood that he has entered
into bargain with L. T. Allan, where
by the latter in consideration Of $500, is
to secure for Marks fifteen votes in the
nominating convention.
From the New Orleans Democrat.
1t will be remembered that tho district
convention nominated Taylor Beattie
unanimously, both factions of the party
concurring, but Beattie resigned and the
fight opened. At the outset there were
half dozen OF more candidates in the field
but i'll a short time all but two were
whipped out or so badly crippled as to
be practically out of the fight. These
two were Geo. Drury and Morris Marks,
the latter Collector of Internal Revenue
for this district.
The fight has been an unequal one, fol
Drury had nothing but his record and
personal popularity to go i'll OH, while
Marks had and has both money and pat
ronage to back him. Drnry has, how
ever, held lis own, and it has all along
boon an open question u. to which wonl,i
win.
Now, however, comes the statement
that Beattie has reconsdered his with
drawal, and is willing to have his name
placed on the ticket. The announcement
OF Beattie's change of position has almost
demoralizcd the Marks managers, while
it has been received with satisfaction and
qualification by Drnry and his friends.
Dr,,ry will not fight Beattie, and if he
finds that success for himself is impos-
siblc lie will no doubt use all his intlu-
ence to nominate Bcattie.
The Marks managers claim that Beat
ties resignation or declination having
been accepted by the convention, he can
not now withdraw his letter, and they
insist that he will have to come before
the body on the same footing as the 9TH
er candidates.
From leading Republican of St.. Martin
parish.
We will not support Marks under any
consideration. Allain and Drury were
present at our committee meeting. AL
lain had chance to display his elo-
qnence, but failed to make any impress
sion. His visit has rather injured the
cause of his candidate, if indeed it could
be injured here.
