THAT CERTIFICATE,

The Board Of C;invassers, consisting of
the Governor, Attorney General and
Secretary Of State, have completed the
compilation of the votes cast for member
Of Congress in tllp Third District at the
recent election, and although the returns
from the parishes of St. Mary and As
sumption were rejected OH technical
grounds, it still appears from the prncla-
nation of tho result made by the Secre-
tary of State that Senator Kellogg was
elected to Congress by some 1000 votes
more than were received by his Demo-
cratic cnmpetitor Mr.. Ackien.
Notwithstanding this announcement,
however, Governor McEnery still declines
to Issue to the successful candidate the
certificate of election, as was promptly
done in the case of all the other Con-
gressmen elect from this State, and as
sumes to take coynizance Of !; question
that properly belongs to the House Of
Representatives itsrlf-that of de!ermin-
ing the qualifications of it's members.
The duty OF the Governor in the premises
is simply ministerial. and SO plain that Il
child can comprehend it. He is required
by law to give certificate of election to
tho candidate who is officially declared
by the Secretary Of State to have re-
ceived the highest number Of votes.
There his authority begins, and there i:
ends.
Tho pretense that Senator Kellogg is
Ineligible on account of non residence in
the district is 80 ilimsy that ne do not
care to waste more than two dozen words
in further discussion Of that pointless
point. He is IL native and citizen of tho
United States, has been il citizen and L.
gal resident uf L.a,isi.l,a mere than if-
teen years, and is IL registered voter Of
the parish of Iberia, where he clninls Il
,lonicilc. Aud even if the evidence of
his eligibility was not so clear as it is.
we do not believe that the Governor is
justified in constituting himself triUu-
nal for the investigation and decision Of
that question. II Mr.. Acklcn desires it
tested, let him bring it before Congress
in the regular way. ."-- MM .5
Beyond the regret we should feel as Il
citizen of Louisiana to see the Governor
take Il step calculated to reflect ,liscrc,iit
upon himself aud the State, we care not
what his final decision il, this case will
be. Ii he refuses to give the Republicans
candidate the certificate of election to
which he is entitled by law aud by the
votes of the people, Gov. McEnery will
do his own party vastly more harm aud
the Republican party more good than the
unqnestioned seating OF Senatar Kellogg
can possibly accomplish. The action,
would be jnstfiab!y attributed to pa.:i-
san prejudice ana uat,.rness, aud would
make excellent material for Republican.

Nine freight cars of Il train going East
on the Texas Pacific railroad were thrown
from the track last Sunday at White
castle, ten miles above DonaldsonvilIe.
The cars were nearly all badly wrecked
and ohstructed the passage Of trains until
Monday morning, when the track was
again clear. The cause of the accident
was not definitely known, but it is be-
liev"d to have been some defect in the
trucks Of the locomotive tender, us the
cars that jumped from tie rails were
those directly behind the engine. We
passed the wreck at a late hour Sunday
night, on our return from Plaquemine
with the base ball boys, and from the
appearance Of things then we judged
that it would take about week to clear
the track at the rate the work was pro-
ceeding. Tie fact that the debris had
been removed aud the damaged road
repaired within nine or ten hours there
after proved q genuine surprise to u.s.
To do this work in such short space OF
time must have required large force Of
men, operating under experienced and
capable direction.

he was appointed Minister to Liberia by Pres

the great ability of this great man. He was
well known and great advocate of his race.
