II have the honor to inform you that
the sending of the Kate Carroll to Mex

ted in the minds of the Mexican people
profound impression and an extremely
kindly feeling.
The press Of the capital repeatedly
called the attention Of the Mexicans to
what it has pleased the journalists to term
"the courtesy and gallantry of the New
Orleans Exposition in thus disPatching a
ship to load with national exhibits" The
Mexican people seem 10 thoroughly appre-
ciate this delicate attention OF the Board of
Management Thus ! have no hesitaney
in asserting that the late EXPEDITION OF the
Kate Carroll to the Mexican coast has

faint notion of the vastness of the edi6ce.
On this platform and in this little nave
to the left, where 10000 people may be
seated, the ceremonies of Inauguration are
to be held. Here, it is said, all the presi-
dents Of all the republics of the land of
Columbus are to be gathered together.
Here judges and generals, men of science
and OF letters, teachers and thinkers-a
congress of all that is great and illustrious
shall be held. About this ten thousand,
on either side rise two vast wings that
stretch far away and look down over the
whole scene. These lifted wings are to be
devoted to the press.
1t is fact that you could put nearly the
entire buildings of Paris and Vienna,
which were devoted to their fairs, into this
one Main Building of the New Orleans
Exposition. 1t is about one-third larger
than that of the Centennial at PHILADELPHIA.
1t is by all odds the largest edifce of which
history gives any account. The Coliseum
at Rome, structure which gave word to
the world by which to express magnitude,
does not compass half as much space as
this Exposition at New Orleans. But of
course this is not as lofty and substantial as
the Coliseum was.

But to avoid any future unpleasant-

GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN ELECT
ED u. s. SENATOR.

After an exciting contest of nearly
four months, Gen. Logan has been elect
ed United States Senator by the legis-
lature of Illinois. This is a grand tri-
umph, and hailed with satisfaction by
Republicans in every state in the
Union. The Illinois legislature, in
Guiding both houses, has 204 members,
Of which number 103 are Republicans
and 101 Democrats. 1t therefore re.
quired 109 to elect. One vote less than
that would have been tie, consequent
ly no election. Logan received the
full Republican vote. Parties being
nearly divided, and there being some
unreliable members, explains why the
contest was protracted so long. Gen.
Logan has an excellent record. He
did gallant service IN the army, has
served two terms in the U. S. Senate,
and held other distinguished public
positions. The enthusiasm in Illinois
over Logan's election is almost I'M
bounded.

The Kansas Supreme Court has been
called upon to decide case, the like
probably never before any court in
this country. A jury was sent out to
agree on a verdict, and one of the Jury
men proposed to offer prayer before
proceeding to consider the case submit
ted tothem. This was assented to, and
feryent prayer was offered. Whether
the prayer was impartial as between
the parties is not stated. The verdict
was against the defendant, whereupon
his lawyer moved to set the verdict
aside on the ground of undue influence
exercised by the praying juryman.
and that man skillful in praylng
can work on the feelings of his weak
er associates, in way quite differ
ent from the ordinary methods of
reasoning. The opinion of the court
had not been given at last report.
