The Hon. J. TT. Murphy, OF DAven-
port, Ia, who represented his district
In Congress for two terms, and who
was prominent member of the rivers
and harbors COMMITTEES, in which con.
nection he did, as will be remembered
splendid service, ia now on a visit to
the city Judge Murphy has Just re-
turned from u trip TO the parish of Cal.
casieu, where in conjunction with DIR.
Grant, also of Davenport, no selected
and has since entered 1000 acres of
United States lands.
Judge Murphy aud DR.. Grant are
much pleased with Southwestern Lou
isiana, and were agreeably surprised
TO meet so many Iowa people in that
rapidly developing section of our Slate.
Judge Murphy is certain that the re-
cent terrible weather in the Northwest
will have the effect of bringing to Lou
isiana large immigration from that
section at an early day. Judge MUIR
ply and DIR. Grant are old and tried
Democrats, the former having been
the frat Democratic mayor ever elect,
ed in Davenport. His great popularity
and brilliant attainments enabled him
to go to Congress from Republican
district, as we have said, on two occa-
sions. DR.. Grant is an Alabamian by
BIRTH. His brother was the first Cow
ernor of Colorado.

Senator Gibson.

The New York Worlds Washington
correspondent gives the following
sketch of Senator Gibson: "Bandall
Lee Gibson, the senator from Louis
lana, is as much of scholar as Ed
munds and is noted all through tho
south. He talks French like a native
and was graduated with honors at Yale
in the days of PRESIDENT Pierce. He
has travelled all over Earope, and he
spent six months as an atiache of the
American legation at Madrid. He Is
the father of the policy Of the improve
ment of the Mississippi river, ami he
has ever been one of the soundest men
of the south. He is the president of
the board ofthe Tulane University and
he is the manager of the 81, 500, 900
with which that school is endowed.
He has the face of scholar and he
ranks as one of the great lawyers of the
south. His grandfather WAS Revo-
lutionary soldier aud his father was
rich sugar planter. Senator Gibson,
fresh from the legation at Madrid and
rich, entered the confederate army as
private and his bravery was such
that he became a general. His war
record reads like romance, and in
the defeat Of Hood Mt Nashville he
successfully covered the retreat. In
Canby's campaign against Mobile Glib
son was detached with $500 men to
Spanish Fort, where he held the ma
tional forces at bay for two weeks,
and then withdrew his entire conn
mand under cover of darkness, thread
ing pathway only Is inches wide
through a marsh. He lost his fortune
during the war, but he made il up
practicing law at New Orleans aud he
is now rich man. His wife was as
highly educated as he and much of
her schooling was at Heidelberg and
Paris She was famous Creole beauty
OF New Orleans and came of one of
the best Families in the country"
