Emperor William of Germany
died at $50 on the morning of Fri
day, March 9th, aged 81 years,
lacking . few days. He was the
most successful ruler of modern
times, and a remarkable man in
many ways. He assisted in the
overthrow of Napoleon. and at
two different periods of his life
entered the city of Paris with a
victorious army. Under him the
Germsn confederation was formed,
and, although for many years he
was the most cordially hated and
feared ruler in Europe. at his death
he was universally loved by his
subjects and respected by the peo-
pie of all nations for his noble and
honorable christian character.

Alexandria Democrat: General
Nichols is the standard-bearer and
Gov. McEnery and all his legions
are gallantly rallying under the
Democratic standard. Since Nc
Emery is too true and good Dem
ocrat, too proud and noble Lou
isianian to falter in his duty to his
party and people in their hour of
danger, those who count on his
sulking and consequent disaffection
of his friends do injustice TO his
gallant and patriotic impulses, and
will find that no sentiment of dis
loyalty or treason is lurking in his
bosom. The insignificant politi-
clans who imagine that Gen, Mich
oils viii keep alive the memories
of the recent contest for the pur-
