THE GREAT EXPOSITION.

The Exposition at New Orleans is
attracting the attention of the press
in all parts of the country and abroad.
Almost every newspaper has some
thing to say about the preparations
that are being made to further the
work of State or local associations.
The special representatives of the Ex-
position commissioned by President
Arthur, for the purpose Of procuring
exhibits have found the newspapers
ready TO report speeches and print the
latest news relating to the Worlds
Fair. This circumstance no doubt
springs from the fact that the people
throughout the land read with much
interest all that is printed concerning
this great enterprise. BY the wide
spread influence of the press the Elk
position is known and talked abontlin
India, Australia, on the banks Of the
Congo, in the South American repnb1
lies, and in the frozen regions Of the
North. Seeming impossibilities have
been overcome, and the scheme limited
to a cotton exhibition at first, has
been enlarged by degrees till it now
embraces a grand exposition Of arts,
manufactures, mines, agriculture, and
in fact about everything in which the
people to-day are interested. This
Exposition to be opened in December
next, covers moro ground, has more
exhibits entered, than can be recorded,
Of any other Worlds Fair ever at
tempted. Aside from the peeuniary
means furnished, the untiring industry
Of its directors, this marvel Of the
nineteenth century owes much of its
renOwn to the power of the newspa-
pers.

TIE THIRD O0NGRESSTOE-
AZ DISTRICT.

On Tuesday next, the 9th inst, Tic
duly accredited delegates of the differ
ent5 parishes composing this, the Third
Congressional District, will assemble
/ Ia ihe town Of Lafayette for the pnr.
pose of choosing suitable standard
bearer for the coming Congressional
contest, and it is to be hoped that the
j greatest discretion viii be observed
in The selection, as the nominee must
ben man whose name is Synonymous
with strength and victory.
We have not heard, 50 far, the
name Of any gentlemen prominently
mentioned in connection with the can
didacy, since the positive refusal of
Hon. Murphy ]. Foster to allow his
name to'be used before the Conven-
ton, but we are satisfied that there
will be no lack of good material to Sc
lect from; therefore we say, let the
Convention choose one whose record
is beyond reproach and whose every
action and principle is in strict accord
with Democratic principles and in
harmony with the best interests Of
the State and District.
This Congressional District COM
prises the wealthiest farming portion
of Louisiana, and its agricultural in
terests are of such character as TO
demand the services in Congress of
one thoroughly identified with our
social and material advancement, and
we hope that such a man viii be Sc
lected by the Convention on Tuesday
next to represent us in the Forty-ninth
Congress
1t is foregone conclusion that the
Republicans will re-nominate Kellogg,
and it is evident that they will try to
conduct the campaign on the race
Issue, prejudieing the minds Of the
colored voter against the Democratic
party with all sorts of bloody shirt
yarns and promises of Radical beneyo-
lence in the shape of big wages and fat
places. Therefore, we say right here,
that the Democrats of this District
will have to bestir themselves in or
der to make a successful fight against
Kellogg, as he will be backed by the
Custom House ring, and a large
amount of money will be used to foist
him upon the people Of this District
for two years more.
So we say gentlemen of the Con-
vention, make wise selection. Letthe
nominee make a thorough canvass of
every parish in the District and impress
upon the minds of the coIored people
that their interests would be best sub
served in the hands Of the Democratic
party. Let us gosto work with vim
and determination to win, and If we
don't lay Kellogg on the shelf it will
be a surprisingly strange thing in the
political history of the day. What
say you, Democrats of the Old Third ?
