SENATORS WHO ARE ON TRIAL
New York SUM-

lN0W 1Ofk sum-
The terms of twenty-five Senators, or
nearly one-third of the Senate, expire
on the third of March. Their success
ors will be elected by the Legislatures
of the several States, meeting, most OF
them, at the beginning of the new
year. One of the twenty-five Senators,
Anthony, of Rhode Island, the patri-
arch, journalist and gastronomist, has
already been reelected. A majority
OF the remaining twenty-four, we sup.
pose, would be glad to have the assur-
ance that they will not be set aside for
new men.
The Democrats whose terms end next
March are fourteen In number, to-wit !:
Morgan of Alabama, Garland of Ar
kansas, Salisbury of Delaware, Ben
Hill of Georgia, Beck of Kentucky,
Lamar of Mississippi, Mcpherson of
New Jersey, Ransom Of North Caro-
lima, Grover of Oregon, Butler of South
Carolina, Harris of Tennessee, Coke of
Texas, Johnston of Virginia, aud Da-
Wis OF West Virginia.
The Republicans who share the same
uncertainty as to their political future
are nine in number: Chilcott of Colo
| RADIO, who is merely filling out the
brief remainder Of Telier's term; Nc
Dill, who succeeded lakewood when
he went into Gen. GarReld's Cabinet
William Pitt Kellogg of Louisiana,
who is certainly at the end of his rope;
Frye OF Maine; G.. Frisble Hoar OF
Massachusetts,, at this time the most
anxious of all the anxious; Ferry OF
Michigan; Window of Minnesota ;
Saunders of Nebraska, and Rollins OF
New Hampshire.
There will also be elected In Illinois
a successor to David Davis, Independ.
ent, now temporary President of the
Senate.
Let us see how many OF these Senat-
ors, candidates for another term, will
make stand for honesty and economy
in this years appropriations, such a
stand, for example, as Morgan, of Ala.
bama, made In regard to the Mississip.
pi Improvement bill. Suppose they
begin with the River and Harbor bill
and the Pension Appropriation bill,
which are already in their hands.

doing so feel certain that but utter the
sentiments ola large circle Of warm friends
and acquaintances OF Mr.. Boatner's. He is
our choice not alone because he is a native
our our parish, {Caldwelll but because we
feel and know that he possesses as many
qualifications for the position as any man
in this Congressional District. We support
him because we have the utmost confidence
in his fidelity to his party, being staunch
and firm Democrat; because he is an honor
able and high toned gentleman, lawyer OF
eminence and ability not often found in one
of his years, and true and tried representa-
| tive who never loses sight of the interest
OF the constituents and Section he repre-
sents, all Of which qualities fit him for the
position. Consequently am anxious to see

Congress, it Is announced from Wash
ington, will adjourn sine die about the
10th, leaving hundreds of bills not
acted upon. The explanation OF this
failure lies in the fact that Republican
managers of the House thought 1t wise
and more patriotic to unseat Demo-
cratic members, for the benefit of
Republicans, than to attend to the great
business interests of the country. There
is contrast here between Democrats
and Republicans in the direction of
public affairs, which no Democrat need
be ashamed of.

My Dear &r-I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt Of your letter
Of the 18th Instant, expressing the wish
that Ishould be candidate for re.nomi-
nation. I have received letters of
similar import from friends throughout
the District. I fear you over estimate
the value of my experience in Con-
gressional life. I have devoted my
whole time to the service of the people
of the District with earnest fidelity, and
they have already greatly honored me.
Should my friends again place me in
nomination, I will accept the position
with every sentiment of gratitude, and
do all in my power for the triumph OF
our party and, if reelected, for the well
fare Of our people; but If some other
gentleman should receive the honor,
Twill, with equal zeal, advocate our
cause.

Oscar Wilde has a sunfiower for an
an emblem of food. To see an old F.,
equity rooster jump up and capture a
seed from the sundower is a work of
art-in the way of filling his crop.
The followers of Oscar may learn that
there is no better chicken food than the
seed of the sunfower. II 1t be art to
tote a sunhower around, there is more
art-certainly. more sense-in growing
the sunflower when spring chickens
are selling at 50 per dozen, and when
real art lies in making good gumbo.
There is not lazier flower than the
big, overgrown sundower, and Oscar is
its prophet.

this district, was opened tuesday at
the Masonic Hall, Judge Boarman pre-
siding. District Attorney Elstner, Mar
shall Weaks, and Major J. w. Wheat
on, Clerk, were in attendance.
The encouragement Jurors, drawn
under direction Of the laws and Court,
were sworn as grand jurors: w. II.
Chamb bliss, foreman; w. S. Logan, J.
G. Logan, J. w. Smith, p. w. Hilton,
A. J. Herring, J. b. Marbles, Ben
Well, Arthur Levi, Abe Calm, J. l..
Graves, ID. g. Trousdale, w. p. Rem
wick, w. E. Haggard, Ferd Cook and
Booker Flowers. The last two are COL
ored. Judge Boarman gave to the
jury a lengthy charge, prepared with
care, in which he instructed the Jurors
as to their duties and respecting infrac-
lions of law which come within their
scope of inquiry. The jury is COM
posed of intelligent citizens, a number
Of whom are young men actively en-
gagged in business, and the remainder
among the best citizens of Ouuchita,
from which parish the jury is entirely
selected.
We are not advised as to the extent
of the Investigations made by the
grand jury, nor as to what particular
odenses the inquiry is directed, but in
fer that violations of the revenue laws
are the main subjects of inquiry. Three
or four bills were returned yesterday.
The jury will probably conclude their
labors, and the Court will adjourn to-
day. The next session of the Court
will be in October next.
Among the attorneys, not of the To-
cal Bar, we notice Col. III. b. Kelly, of
New Orleans, Col. G. Sawyer, of Con-
cordia, and Judge w. b. WILEY, Of
East Carroll. Several important cases
have been called for trial, but none
have been decided on the merits. AL
though new practice here, it is MOTTO
able that the Court has been but little
delayed by want of preparation by
members Of the Bar.

MONROE, La, JULY 1, 1882.
The Supreme Court, after session
Of three weeks, adjourned Saturday
last, having disposed of the entire
docket of forty cases. sTwenty-six of
these eases were appealed from this ju-
diciai district, composed of the two
parishes of Ouachita and Richland.
Several of these cases involved compli-
Gated questions of fact, as we'll as intri-
cate questions of law. Seven of the
cases were decided in the lower court
by lawyers selected for that purpose,
Judge Richardson being recused. OF
the sixteen tried by Judge Richardson,
the judgments In eight were affirmed,
In two reversed, the judgment in three
amended and affirmed, and three APP
peals were dismissed for want Of juris-
diction.
There were four appeals from the 9th
Judicial District, j. Harvey Brigham,
Judge, Of which two were affirmed,
one affirmed as amended, and two re-
versed.. From the TIN District, Judge
8. L. Elan, there were no appeals.
From the 4th District, Judge r. ID.
Brideer, there were three appeals; one
Of which was dismissed, and judgment
reversed In the other two. From the
Sd District, Judge e. NJ. Graham, there
were three appeals, in one of which
the judgment was reversed, and af-
firmed as amended in the other two.
The Judges of the Supreme Court, in
familiarizing themselves with the tran
scripts, the points of law raised and
the authorities cited labored zealously,
no doubt, and while it is to be regret
ted that they had not more time at
their disposal, it may be said, with
truth, that their dignified bearing and
courtesy, as we'll as their DEGREES, have
come fully up to the high standard
they have achieved.
The members of the Bar in attend
ance were not less jealous than the
Judges, but fretted more, and yet We're
not, perhaps, so much fretted. They
are, at this moment, as tranquil before
Judge Boarman, of the United States
District Court, as could possibly be ex-
pected with the Thermometer at 90 in
the shade. The experience of the at
torney, like that of others, is success
sion of joys, and SORROWS, ups and
downs-apd yet he realizes the solemn
truth, "there is nothing true but heav
en-" only when he gets bad witness
on the stand, or the judge or jury de-
cides in favor of the opposing party.

David Swing, in the Alliance, tells
how bride reformed her profane hus-
band. She invited her bridesmaids, four
in number, to quiet dinner. As they
knew OF the profane habits of the groom,
and also Of his good qualities, they en-
tered gladly into the proposed comedy.
The plan was that all these beautiful
women should use profane words at the
table, as the hot coffee or hot weather
or slow servants might afford opro.tu-
nifty. 1t was bold plan. but il is said
to have cured the wicked husband for
when his elegant wife applied . rosano
term to the biscuit, and fair gus st
made like remark OF the coffee, and
still another applied profane cxpletve
TO the movements Of a servant, the hus-
band absolutely cried with remorse that
ne had ever used such an outrageous
form Of speech. Prof. Swing thinks
that "while such cure cannot be jus
tilted, because it kills the la,lies without
curing the masculine offender, yet the
story itself may serve 10 show that man
as an animal that swesrs is mournful
curiosity"

Yes" said the half-drunk engineer.
"Why don't the little fool get out Of
my way? I'll teach her." and made no
movement to stop.
Mike waited with a sinking heart.
Oh, why did everything go against her ?
Was it the will of God that this dreadful
thing must happen? The engine was
close upon her and she ran upon a iut-
ting rock by the railroad still waving
her scarlet flag but just as the engine
came alongside of her she heard the
sharp click of the csll-bell in the engine
and saw the fireman thrust the epef yT !
aside and aseveT$e the engine. ThsF6h
ductor. who had Just seen her and ex-
citedly pulled the bell-rope, jumped off
and came toward her. But the reaction
was too much foi poor Mike and she
could only gasp out " Round the curve, 4"
and then she was white heap with no
sense of anything.
Passengers rushed out, and. after som
had been to the curve and seen what the
little plain girl had saved them from, no
lady in the land could be so royalty

lifted into the car and told modestiy her
little story. 1t was some time before
the track was ready for the train to pro.
coed, and many kind hands pressed her
in farewell, while the conductor left
something in her hand, too, just as the
train left, saying, "You are the bravest
little woman in the State"
Not until she had been in the Office n
good balf-hour with her father-who
had got home from his lawsuit and won

and where Mike had gone to-and told
him all the story, did Mike think to
look at the packet. Then she read

friends sine SO braveiy saved Aug. %,

The note was wrapped round $500 in
bank notes.

can have the schooling she wants so
much, he said, and to-day Miss Eunice
Markham is one of the most promising
pupils in the high school of that city.
But more than ever is she the pride Of
her fathers heart, who never tires Of
telling of the afternoon "his girl was

But after all you would never have
taken her for a heroine.
