UARPER's WEEKLY has a lifelike
portrait Of "the Democratic ele-
plant" lie is in huge circus van,
and nothing can be seen of him ex-
cept small portion of his rear ele-
walton. His tail hangs out between
the high protecting bars, and to the
end of it is tied label inscribed
"Morrison breed The wagon bears
the word "Tariff' on its side, and is
headed for the dimiuutive door of
the convention building at Chicago.
The fat doorkeeper, however, says to
the disconsolate driver: cts all
very well to talk, but you can't get
him in-not even horizontally"
ALI doubt as to the importance of
an adjustment of the Republican
family differences in the Sd district,
il removed by the unanimity with
which the Democratic press bemoans
the meeting of committees on the
18th. They see that Republicans
are preparing to present a solid
front next November, against which
the hosts of Democracy will be i'm
potent. OF course the prospect il
not cheering, and they could not be
expected to contemplate it with
complacency

The JUDICIAL CANvASs.-We
learn that there were we'll attended
Mass Meetings in Evergreen and at
Moreauville in Avovelles Parish,
and the candidates for Judgeships,
District Attorney and others adj
dressed the people. We are graft
fed to learn that the Democracy of
that Parish is better united and
more harmonious than it has been
for several years past. They gave
good assurances that the judicial
ticket would be supported solidly
by the party. Judge Barbin who
was repudiated by the Democratic
Convention, is making an active
and vigorous canvass as an indie
pendent, but he will signally fail,
if the Democracy of the District
stand by their colors. Judge W.
f. Blackman and Hon. Thos. Over
ton were endorsed by the Republi-
cans of the District in Convention,
and we have every assurance that
they in Grant and Rapides will
stand by them. No better selec-
tons could have been made for
judges, and when elected the people
will be satisfied that they are the
right men in the right place. Mr..
Wicklitfe is making an active can
vass through the District, and is
gaining golden opinions of the peo-
pie, and he will certainly receive
the support of the entire Democracy
and of a large element of the Re
publican party. Let every Demo-
GRAFT do his duty by the ticket, and
for every nominee Of the parity
the 22d of April will see an united
Democracy jubilans over the sue
cess OF the entire ticket.

THE puELLISG DISABILITIES.

DfSABIIsITiErs
Mr.. Opie said he did not want it under
stood that because he asked for the re-
moval OF the disabilities OF certain persons
named in the bill before the House that he
favored duelling. The gentlemen named
had thought that their honor was assailed,
and they had vindicated the same by re-
sorting to the duello.
Mr.. Barton said there was a vast deal OF
morbid sentimentality about this whole
business. II he wanted to fight duel he
would take his life in his hands, and he
would willingly take the risk OF disfran-
chisement. IL was DOnsence 10 have law
and not see that 1t was executed. He
would vote against the bill to remove the
disabilities.
Mr.. Saunders said he regarded duellIng
as an offence against the laws Of both God
and man.
Mr.. Darst wanted the practice Of duel
ling abolished, and the people to put the
stamp OF their severe condemnation upon
the pitiful practice. He wanted the rigid
enforcement OF the law, but in this case
he would vote for the removal OF the dis
abilities.
Mr.. Cardwell said he would 20 hand In
hand with any man in the attempt to stop
the practice Of duelling, but when he saw
that time and again the disabilities OF men
engaged in duelling had been removed. he
thought 1t would be unchal liable not to
pass this bill removing the disabilities Of
the gentlemen named therein. After this,
pass such laws as will prevent duelling.
He appealed personally for the passage Of
this bill, and pledged himself afterwards
to do all he could putting down tie prac-
tice Of duellirg by voting to take away
from the Legislature the right to remove
disabilities incurred by duelling.
Mr.. Pollard called attention to the fact
that the names of many OF the gentlemen
in this bill were included i'm bill passed
by the General Assembly years ago. He
therefore thought it not uncharitabe to
vote against relieving them now, when
they come back here and ask It, after hav.
ing violated again the laws Of God and
man.
Mr.. Gibson said men would fight. and
men would violate the laws Of God and
man. and he considered duelling q safe
guard against life. as practiced in Virginia,
and about rs harmless as the old-time plea
sures OF the race-course. In Virginia
the duel was the manner in which diff
cultes were settled without loss Of
life. 1t was an innocent amusement. lie
was opposed to duelling, and so, also. was
he opposed to sickness, sorrow, suffering.
and death, and In favor OF future reward !;
but he thought there was too much sickly
sentimentality about this opposition to
dueliug. and he hoped the bill would pass.
Frequently during Mr.. Gibson's speech
the House was convulsed with laughter.
The bill was passed.
The House then adjourned, at $3.50 o'clock.
