We ask the Legislature to be
Influenced by no petty motive
when balIotlng for a man to
represent the proud people of
Louisiana in one Of the most
august and intellectual bodies on
the GLOBE MoTphouse Clarion.
To all of which we heartily
say "Amen!" The personnel Of
the present Legislature is by no
means Of the best. Many Of its
members could better serve the
interests of their State and CON
stituents behind a pair Of pillow
handles or a cotton truck than
in attempting to guide the lum-
bering jnggernant of government
over its newly mapped out course,
and it is to be devoutly prayed
for, that they may fall into the
possession of a little common
sense when they ballot for United
State Senator. We have been
represented in the Councils Of the
nation by thieves, idiots, and
clowns about long enough, and
we humbly suggest that it is about
time to select a man to represent
US and not some old broken down
political hack whose sole claim to
this honored distinction is based
upon the number Of times he has
chopped" the political fence and
his ability to pack a convention
or buldoze a caucus. Give us a

The n. O. Item in an article on
the Strakosch Italian Opera
Troupe says with them there was
no dolce fariento" Shades of
Tasso! what terrible thing is
this ! Our Italian education was
sadly neglected, and with an eager
thirst after knowledge we feel
the painful humiliation Of seeking
light upon this subject at other
hands. Oh, relieve our painful
suspense and tell us who this
"dolce fariento" was! Did he
sing soprano or was he merely a
baritone.

This is a singular query, even for

ounces and pears and other fruit.

have fled, if he will eat a mince

picked pigs feet, and drink a
pint Of cider before going to bed,

A Questioned Answered

In yesterdays REPUBLICAN, the follow
ing question was asked requesting an
answer:
"Was the First Delaware Battery
ever drawn up in line of battle ald did
it ever go into an engagement"
The motives of the interrogation are
hidden, but it is surprising that any
body at all acquainted with the his
tory of the war should ask such ques-
ton. In the first place batteries I'M
supported are never drawn up into
line of battle like regiments of infantry
OR cavalry but are used for detached
service, either in sections. by batteries
or by companies.
After the Delaware Battery went TO
the front, it was first in service at Suf-
folk, Virginia, when that city was in
vested by Longstreet, by piece, by sec
lions and by battery. 1t was with in
fantry and other arms of the service in
line Of battle and in action in the Red
River campaigne, and at Cane river
crossing where it was highly compli-
mented by General Emery.
1t was also in the line of battle at
Bayou deGasse with the troops under
the command of General Mower, and
was in engagements at Aehafaula and
other places. General Barry, Chief Of
Artillery of the United States Army,
paid it high compliment, saying that
it was the best volunteer battery in the
service.

A Duel That allied.

Col W. M. Shannon was shot dead
by Colonel E. B. Cash in a duel on the
border of Camden county, S. c., on
Monday. Shannon was the challenger
and the trouble arose from some legal
proceedings, in which he was accused,
it is said uujustly, of having "refact-
cd on Mrs. Cash." He had been chal-
lenged by man named Ellerby and de-
clined, and, being then posted by Cash
as Coward" the temptation was too
great for his moral courage. He was
go years of age. As a result of the
trouble, a meeting has been held in
Camden and an Anti Duelling Asso.

enough to get any Republican Votes,
nor bad enough to excite great enthusi-
asm in the Democratic party. The
ticket is q mixture-I call 1.-THE indigo
and butte,nat combination. There
was some g hlsiasm among thu demo-
Gratis At first, but | can't tell whether it
was on account Of Hancock's nomination
or an evidence of Joy at getting rid Of
Tilden. l think, though, 1t was the
latter. The public is not apt to get
very enthusiastic over these profession
al soldiers, men who ore educated for
war in times of peace. OF course, we
expect such men to do the fighting
when there is fighting to be done; it's
their business. Now, it's different
with volunteer. When man leaves
his pillow and kisses his wife and goes
out to be shot at for principle, that's
believed to be patriotic and inspires
enthusiasm.
