ELECTION OF u. s. SENATORS.

Hon. Randall Gibson, OF Loui siana, was q
candidate for recollection to the House OF Rep
resentatves, although he was last January
elected United States Senator from that State.
He does not, however, take his seat until
1888. 1t rarely happens that United States
Senator Is elected three years before the ex-
piratlon OF the term Of the Senator whom he
is to succeed, and it could not be legally done,
except under peculiar circumstances. 1t may,
therefore be OF interest to explaia why it &C.
CURED IN Gen. Gibson's case. That State
elects itsilegslature for four years, Though the
sessions are biennial. The law of the United
States regarding the election OF United States
Senators, is in the following explicit terms
Sec. Ii, Rev. Stats. provides that: THE
legislature Of cath State which * chosen next
preceding the expiration of the time for which
any Senator was elected, 10 represent Such
State in Congress, shall, on the second Tues
day after the meeting and organization thereof
proceed to eject Senator in Congress- The
present Louisiana Legislature met las. January
and Senator Kellogg's time will expire March
4, 1884 1t will meet again in 1882. but that
will be the second session, and the law as to
the election during the first session is impera-
tive.
No one was expecting the election 10 occur
last winter, but its necessity dawned upon
some OF the Louisiana law makers and they
promptly telegraphed Gibson as to whether
the election was obligatory at that time, Gen.
Gibson telegraphed tc1the Legislature that it
was, aud was duly elected U. S. Senator.
The next Legislature, which Will meet in 1884,
will elect the Senator who will take his seat in
1885, succeeding Senator Jones, while Senator
Gibson's successor, who will be sworn ia IN
1889, viii be elected by the new legislature
which Will meet IN 1888. Gen. Gibson will
have tIue.to serve&another full term IN the
House OF Representatives before taking bis
seat in the Senate.

enemy will pour through the gap.

withdrawn from some other position to save
ours. The obedience is scattered while you
could count thirty, and the guns rush FOR the

riders to each gun. Over dry bitches where

clumps OF bushes, over logs foot thick, every
horse on the gallop, every rider lashing his
team and yelling-the sight behind US makes
us forget the foe in front. The guns jump

The result Of the elections on Tuesday last
are most gratifying to ali good citizens who
love their country and desire TO see this nation
prosperous, peaceful and happy. At the time OF
this writing the indications are that the north is
solid for Garfield This demonstrates the fact
that the people OF the great, loyal, lberty-lov-
ing north are not yet ready to turn this govern
ment over into the hands Of the very men who,
for four years, tonight 90 flercely and persist
emily to achieve lis destruction. The menace
the same spirit of patriotism in the north that
the same state OF affairs did in 1860 The peo-
pie felt that il we were to surrender now, then
the war had been fought in van,-tha: il now
the Fort Pillow ard Hamburg butchers, and
their conductors, tie southern brigadiers, were
to rule us absolutely, then was our vast expend-
iture OF money to carry on the war useless
waste; the loss OF three hundred thousand SOL
diers a proftless sacrifice, and that the CRIES
aad lamentations of the widows and orphans
made during the war would forever be shame
and reproach to the republic.
Another thing has been demonstrated, and
that is that the great heart OF the American
people is right, and that We may safely entrust
the final decision of ali great national issues to
the decision Of the ballot box, and that in spite
OF the mass OF SANDER, utilization and mud
throwing which may be INDUCED in by any par
hat as, Ia in, ba Of ha
onward march OF civilization and enlighten
ment, the mass OF the people will be found on
right side when the day OF final arbitration ar
rives.
The magnificent local victory in the county,
exceeding anything IN our past hlstory,-every
township carried for Garfield and Arthur and
every local officer elected, Notwithstanding the
efforts Of INSCRIPTIONS demagogues to defeat
come OF them, shows the effect OF the vigorous
campaign which the Republicans have carried
on at home. Some good Republicans were dis
posed to complain tina. enough was not being
done, or that it was not being done in proper
manner, although the county was never before
so thoroughly canvassod by good speakers as it
has been during the campaign just closed. The
fight has been quiet, rather than demonstra
tive but every part Of the county has been Wis
tied, and the people in their own school districts
and towns have heard and pondered on the cit

grand result OF Tuesday justfies the iuDgmont

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Judge Cox, in the
equity court to-day, made an order in the Chris
tiancy divorce suit, reducing the allowance for
alimony pending the result of the trial from
$3.50 to 500 per month. The reduction was
granted upon the strength OF an affidavit of
Minister Christiancy. He alleges that he is un-
able to pay greater sum by reason of heavy
Indebtedness and the needs of the rest OF his
family. He also asserts that none of the
charges of cruelty or personal ill-usage can be
proved otherwise than by false testimony: that
ne believes it necessary for the protection of
his rights that he should be present at the TAX
Ing OF testimony; that thus far, he has been
unable to obtain leave Of absence from his
post, and that he intends to avail himself OF the
first opportunity to return home and defend
the suit in person.

flame of the guns. The guns leap from the
ground, almost, as they are depressed on the
foe, and shrieks, and screams, and shouts blend
into one awful and steady cry. Twenty men
cut OF the battery are down.. and the firing is
interrupted. The foe accepts it as a sign OF
wavering and come rushing On. They are not
ten feet away when the guns give them last
shot. That discharge picks living men off their
feet and throws them into the swamp, a black

There is silence OF ten seconds, and then the
flash and roar CT more than three thousand
