This question is being extensively
discussed just now by the papers Of
the State. It is sumner. Now. if
they only asked, "Who wants to be
Governor we could answer in less
than no time, and give the names Of
a score of patriotic individuals who
are willing to be offered up as victims
for the country's good. Who will
be Governor p that is the query. ~
Every intelligent voter has in his
mind his ideal Of the man he would
support for this position. Some are
weak enough to advocate the cause
Of a personal acquaintance, without
regard to his executive ability or fit
ness for the position. but behind it
all, in the heart Of every man who is
not lost to patriotism and honor. we
believe there turks the desire that .
man of ability, character and nerve
shall direct the affairs of our ship OF
State. We do not purpose to abuse
any of the numerous candidates that
standing may be given to the man OF
our choice. He does not need such
precarious bolsteriDg, and would in
dignantly repudiate it. We know
not how good, bad or Indifferent Gov
ernors the others might make, but
we do know that the man OF our
choice was a good Governor. and re-
tired from the Office holding the good
will and esteem of his fellow citizens
francis T. NICHOLS needs no eulogy
at our hands. He lives in the hearts
of his people as a patriot statesman
and Christian gentleman. Whatever
may be the claims of others, he alone
possesses the unbounded confidence
of all Louisianians. Ever since hii
removal dissatisfaction has grown il
the State, until it has spread and
widened to its remotest bounds.
| In the fervept and almost univer
sal expressions of cofdence in anf
regard for NICHOLS, we believe W,
recognize the choice Of the people

A Great Meteor.

A dispatch from Fort Worth, un-
der date of April 18th. says that at
Williams Rancho, in Brown county.
Texas, at about 9 o'clock Sunday
morning. q greet meteor fell in the
outskirts of town, killing Mexican
herdsman by the name of Martinez
Garcia, together with his family, con-
sisting of his wife and five children.
all of whom are buried beneath the
ruins of his dwelling-house. Several
head of cattle were also killed.
In it's descent the meteor resem-
bled q massive bah of fire, and the
shock was similar to that of an earth
quake. It is still hot. 1t is embed
ded in the earth probably q hundred
feet, and towers above the surface Of
the ground about seventy feet. In
size it covers about an acre. The
concession was terrific. nearly every
window in town being shattered.
People were hurled instantly from
their beds. and goods in storehouses
were thrown from the shelves. Nc
lives lost as far as knows except the
Mexican and his family, although
several buildings foil to the ground
Cattle fed in terror in every direc
ton. The cir was filed with sui
phurous gas The widest confusion
prevailed, as it was long time be
fore anybody could tell what it was.
This is said to be the largest me
teor that has ever fallen. II has al
ready been visited by many people
and will doubtless continue to attrac
attention for months to come. Th
greatest excitement prevails not OIL,
in that immediate vicinity, but In q
the surrounding country.

From . notice in the Alexandria

Express is to be changed into an ag-
ricultural journal Here's success to
you Brother Waters. There is some
prejudice among the farmers of this
section against accepting what they
are pleased to call the editors advice
in farming matters. They forget that
the editor does not propose or offer
to instruct them from what he knows
about the matter, but that he talks
to them about what practical bust
ness farmers have done and. are doing
every day, men who know more Of
farming and can make more money
with less labor on an acre than they
or their daddies before them ever
dreamed Of. But they must learn it,
and the sooner the better.

Sensational Testimony In the Nuta

USioHrowS, March l3.-When the
Dukes-Nuit murder trial resumed this
morning Joseph Mutt, son Of the deceased,
was put on the stand to prove that he had
seen Dukes drop All anonymous letter re.
fecting on his sister in the road
near his fathers house. This evidence
was ruled out. Letters which Dukes had
written TO Captain Mutt were then offered
in evidence and against the strenuous pro-
test OF the defense were admitted They
were read 10 the Jury by Mr.. Psyford and
created profound sensation in the
courtroom. In point OF intamy.
they we're fully up to expectations. Dukes
acknowledges unsollcitedly that he had en-
joyed Illicit Intercourse with Capt. Nuts
daughter and gives alleged town rumors
affecting her character. In closing, he ex.
presses his opinion that Miss Mutt isin adel-
icate condition and inferentially suggests to
Captain Mutt that an abortion
might save the honor OF his daughter and
family, The prosecution here rested =.
The defense In opening proved that Dukes
had said TO Mrs. Jennings. as she left the
room after the meeting, that he was sorry
for what he had done, but he had acted
only in self defense, as Capt. Mutt would
bave killed him II he had not killed
Mutt.

DheIlac varnish from American Alco'
hOI

WASHINGTON. D. c., March 49,
The Treasury Department has issued in
structons to collectors OF customs that
shellac varnish manufactured In Canada
out Of American alcohol imported In bond
from the United States shall be subject to
duty on rs.importation Of value OF not less
than the value Of the materials, viz, aco-
hol and sheac In open markets OF
Canada. Heretofore this article
has been valued for I'D valorem duty at q
nominal price In bond upon the
ground that there was no market value In
Canada for this kind Of vsrnish The action
Of the department will probably put q
stop to the practice that heretofore pre-
vailed Of shipping American alcohol to
Canada and re-importlng II as shellac var
nish. The customs officers are also in
etructed that shellac yarnsh
manufactured in bonded warehouses
in the United States out OF domestic
alcohol and which may have been
exported without payment Of tax can
not be returned to the United States
upon payment Of duty less than the internal
revenue which was RENTED on the alcohol.
The officers are instructed to score barrels
before expectation In such a
manner that they can be identified upon re-
importation.
