HOAR OBJECTS TO CONKLING.

When the nomination of Senator
Conklfng as an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court was read in executive
session of the Senate, motion was
made to take it up for immediate con-
armation. Senator Hoar thereupon
took the floor and warmly said that
while he conceded Conkling's great
abilities, and that no man since Web
ster had surpassed him in intellect
nal force, he believed that Conkling
had used his powers for bad purposes,
and he did not believe him to be hon.
eat. ellis elevation to the Supreme
Bench" said Hoar with great excite
Inent Of manner and pounding his desk
by way Of emphasis), "would be n
disgrace to the judicial ermine," and
he therefore interposed an objection to
present consideration of the nominal
ton, and Insisted that it should tax Q
the regular course of reference to the
Judiciary committee.
A single objection being sufficient to
prevent Immediate consideration, the
nomination was accordingly referred to
the Committee under the rules without
AN opportunity for debate or any reply
to Hoar'e remarks.

IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.

We make the subioined extracts from
the Morgan City Review:
Hon. G. b. Darrall, NJ. c., returned
homo from Washington on Wednesday,
and left again yesterday. DIR. Darrall
is working hard in Congress for the
benefit of the Third Louisiana District,
and is growing rapidly in the favor Of
his people.
Hon. JOSEPH, III. Aclllen, who has
twice been the Democratic representa-
tive in the National House of Repre-
sentatives from this, the Third Loui-
ana district, was again nominated
for that position at the convention held
in New Orleans last Monday. His
speech accepting the nomination is an
able and carefully prepared one. and, to
say the least, is very conservatives. For
the most part, Democratic doctrine is
conspicuous'y absent from it; and it
reads to tbs like Il strong bid for Republic
can support. Mr.. Acklen will undoubt-
eddy mrlSe an active and earnest can.
vaSS.
According TO these statements there
seems to be an opening for II Demo-
cratic candidate in the Third district.

A CONTRAS
from the Mobile Register.]

EFronl the Mobile Register.
General Ulysses 8. Grant, on account
of the melting away of the forces of the
C0nfederacy, exhausted by the on
slaughts of those who had preceded
him in command, received the surren-
der of Lee at Appomatox. That he
merely forced q consummation that was
Confederacy was doomed, aud its
downfall was only question of time.
General Grant was fortunate in his
military career. He was thrown into
conflict with nediOcrity in military
talent at Vicksburg, and when he Mt
length confronted Lee his overwhelm-
ing numbers enabled him to rely on
brute force instead of strategy. At the
first days fight at Shiloh, where there
was some equality in numbers, Albert.
Sidney johnson totally routed him.
Having said this much, we are free to
admit that the services ofGeneral Grant
reaped where others had plouehed, but
he had reaped with a vigorous hand
But he has received an abundant
reward for all of his services, Made
General of the Army, and twice elected
Chief Magistrate of the country, he has
also received gifts of every description,
and been welcomed at home and abroad
| with almost regal honors. To-day he
is rich in this worlds goods, and living
in Rne style in New York. We are
| glad that he is. 1t would not do for
this country to allow General q rant to
he in want.
| We do not approve, however, of the
recent action of the Senate in passing a
bill to place General Grant on the
retired list with the rank and pay OF
| (Ianaral IF fhia action IL had in hi
case, Mcclellan and other generals are
equally deserving of it. Mcclellan
especially, who fought the battle of
Sharpsburg when Maryland was invad-
ed, nobly forgetting the injustice with
which he had been treated in his love
| of country, deserves equal recognition
with Grant.
There is no justice in slavishly wor
shipping Grants military success, and
being unjust to others who risked more
and have gained but little. Not only
is injustice done to the living, but
injustice is done the dead. Grant, who
is rich, gets the pay of a general added
to his incomeAGeneral Clusters widow
receives thirty dollars month. And
yet Custer was as gallant soldier as
ever followed tho stars and stripes, and
fell on the field of battle. Truly there
is a nice condition of affairs in this
republic. Grant to he placed on the
retired list with the rank and pay of
general; Mcclellan totally ignored !;
bummers aud swindlers living on the
pension bureau; Mrs. Custer given
thirty dollars a month. 1t would be
we'll for her to present her pension to
the Government, and ask it to devote
it to the relief of that necessitOus indi-
Vidual, Ulysses S. Grant.

Opelousas Courier: Tramps are be-
coming a nuisance along the Morgan
Rtailroad. At least a half dozen lazy
sout, able-bOdied men can be seen,

Congress resolved on June IL, l777
that the flag of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white; that the Union be thirteen
stars, white in q blue field. represent
ing n new constellation" This is the
recorded legislative action for the adop-
ton of national flag. The resolution
was not promulgated until September
3. 1t is supposed that the flag was first
unfurled by Paul Jones on the Ranger.
1t is not known by whom the stars
were suggested. BY some they have
been ascribcd to John Adams, and by
others it has been urged that the entire
flag was borrowed fiom the coat of-arms
of the Washington family, but both
conjectures are without proof, and the
latter is improbable.

THE PRESS ON COMBINES NOMI-
NATION.

e. NEW YORK, FEBRUARY 20.-The fol-
lowing are editorial comments on
Conkling's nominations:
The Sun says: He is able, learned,
independent, proud and incompatible.
His training has been political rather
than judicial. We shall be surprised
if he accepts. We have not supposed
that he regarded himself as perlna-
nentIy withdrawn from political affairs.
The Tribune says: Guiteau has
made Supreme Court Judge as well
as a President. He is not hung vet.
There is no human being in the coun-
try SO ignorant as to believe COnkling
would have been awarded, the highest
judicial Office in the gift of the Presi-
dent if cold blooded assassin had not
first murdered the President whom the
people elected. For that murder, no
man living is thought by tine people
of the United States more responsible
than Mr.. Conkling himself. The day
after his resignation his disciple Gui-
teau bought a pistol, and the very ply
stefan, who was afterward called in to
probe tine Presidents wound, went
about saying that Garfield deserved to
! be shot,
The Times says; 1t is hardly prob
ooAO SAAoO VIC WIS lAAf1uS1
| without being desired by the nominee,
and it is more than doubtful whether
any snub short of absolute rejection
will keep Conkling off the bench OF
the Supreme Court of the United States.
From Judge Gray to Conkling is a
| long step downward. Conklipg has
neither by writing, argument, or the
conduct of cases, ever shown any wide
or deep knowledge Of the law. He is
| not fitted by nature, study or experience
for the place. If he does not take this
| opportunity of doing the country the
| exceptional service of declining the
! place, for which he is not fitted, and il
the Senate finds itself unequal to the
duty Of rejecting him, we may we'll
despair Questioning the Supreme Bench
in the respect and veneration of tho
| people.
The World says: Most Of the Hall
Breed Senators would delight to see
Conkling quietly immured in the
Supreme Court. Itseens unlikely that
Conkling, at his age and with collec.
ton of unwrecked grudges, larger and
more various than that Of any other man
in the United States, will consent to be
taken out of politics.
The Herald says: It may we'll be
supposed that, after quarter of Il ecu
fury Of political activity, with the gen.
eral recognition by his countrymen of
the possession of great talents for legis.
Iative or executive Iabors, Conkling
should hesitate now, as in 1873, to ac-
cept a judicial station that would debal
him from the political arena.

The steamer Chouteau had amongst
her passengers, en- route to the Crescent
City to attend the carnival, the distin-
guished standard bearer Of the national
Democracy in the memorable campaign
Of 1880, Major-General Winfield Scott
Hancock, Z. S. A. Very few Of our
people knew that the tlistinguished gen
tleman would be on the boat, hence he
escaped an ovation that would other
wise have been rendered him. The
General held an informal levee in the
cabin Of the steamer, and greeted in an
affable and genial way those of our cit
liens who were fortunate enough to be
on the landing. He is a large, fine
looking man, straight as the proverbial
West Pointer, and of so decidedly a
military bearing that one almost hesi-
tates to approach him. The cordially
of his handshake and the affability OF
his manner, however, are re.assuring,
and you soon forget in conversation
with him that he is a stranger to you.
Those who met him Sunday evening
had n most favorable impression of him
