opposed to the rights of men. Could NJ

THE KING-JoNEs CONTROVERSY.

Gen. j. Floyd King. representing the
fifth Louisiana district in Congress, is
denounced by Cuthbert b. Jones, for
mefly of Catab0ula parish, and the
only living male representative Of the
Jones family left since the famous
Jones' Liddell feud, who publicly and
fa;footedly calls King liar through
the public prints. He goes further, ac-
cusing him of Implicitly in claiming to

closes by calling King II frand and a

The Town Talk thinks the editor Of
the CHRoSIcLE talks very brave when
he has no friends to lose by adverse
criticism of wrongful acts, and to prove
its position it cites the fact that We
refer to the jury that acquitted the
vasabond negro Reid as having been
''befuddled," which the Town Talk
seems to consider a very mild term ;
but it suggests none more fitting. Now,
we submit that when q newspaper
honestly aud plainly states that a con-
coded intelligent and honorable jury
have allowed themselves to he so ''be-
fuddlcd" in the exercise of their duty
as to render a verdict in direct viola
ton of the law and the evidence, that
is going far enough. We call upon ouI
Alexandria censors to speak as plainly
and unequivocally of its own wrong
doers, and We shall lie more than
pleased to '.let mp" OH Rapides.

VICE PRESIDENT HENDRICKS.

Hon. Thomas Andrew Hendricks, of
Indiana, who died Wednesday, Nov.
25th, was one of the FOREMOST states
man of this age. and deservedly held
high rank as IL Democrat. He WAS the
most popular man in his State. and
always ran thousands of votes ahead
of his ticket. This popularity extend
ed into other States, and was without
doubt most potent factor in the sue
cess of the party in the late Presi-
Dental election. In his private and
political life he was totally without
OstentatioD, and the humblest citizen
was always sure of courteous and
kindly treatment at his hands, and this
was the secret of his influence with the
uiasses. He has been in active public
service since 1851, having acted sue
cessively III the capacity of Legislator,
Governor, Congressman, Senator and
Vice President. His career is almost
without IL parallel, having been run
without Olemisli or spot, and even his
political enemies recognized him as a
pure and patriotic man. His example
is most striking illustration Of the
success that attends conscientious
discharge of duty, and Is worthy oi
citation to the youth of our land for
emulation. The remains Of this noble
man were inferred with national hon
ors, last Tuesday, at indianapolis, the
place of his hume for thirty years.
