Senatorial Nominee Hunter In
diCted.

~
The deadlock in the Kentucky
Legislature is still unbroken, that
Body having taken about fifty in.
effectual ballots ft7 United States
Senator. The tel sion is very
great, several PERSONAL collisions
having already taken place, with
every probability that more will
follow, possibly eliminating in loss
of life. The rumors of bribery
and corruption, with which the air
has been surchaEged during the
special session; have finally crys-
tallized into indictments by the
Grand Jury against DR.. W. God
frey Hunter, the Republican nomi-
nee for the United States Senate ;
ex-Congressman John Henry Will.
son, of the Eleventh District; Hon.
E. B. Franks, of the Second Dis.
trict; Capt. Noel Gains and his
brother-in.law, Thos. Tanner, Of
Frankfort.
The indictments are for conspir.
acy to bride. All are Republicans
with the exception of Gaines and
Tanner. The Republicans natu
rally protest their Innocence Of the
charges and denounce it as a con
spiracy to defeat Hunter; but as
Gaines and Tanner, Democrats
have also been Indicted, the public
will not take much stock in the
charge of conspiracy.
Kentucky, Florida and Oregon
are now unrepresented in the Uui
ted States Senate, without mucl
probability Of being accorded thai
Inherent and constitutional rieh1
at All early day. THESE instances
ought to be sufficient to cause thu
people to rise in their sovereign
capacity and demand in no uncer
tain terms, that the right to cleo
United States Senators, be with
drawn from the Legislatures ant
delegated to them.

WE DO NOT CREDIT THE
RUMOR.

Rumor says that Senator Sam
McEnery will vote for that most
outrageous and infamous of all IN
famous measures, the Dingley ia
riff bill, when it is put upon its ii.
nal passage in the Senate. We do
not credit the rum0r, nor do we
believe that Sam McEnery will
place himself in any such an unen.
viable position before the Demo
cratic party of the State aud ma
ton. until he has actually had his
vote recorded in favor of that dia
bolical iniquity.
We have had occasion to ami
madvert severely against Meyer,
Dayey and Broussard for peridy
to the Democratic party, for voting
for this Republican and anthem
ocratic measure, but we caunot
conceive it possible, that Sam Nc
Emery, who has been honoret by
the Democratic party of Louisiana
beyond any other man in public
life since the war and who owes
whatever of honorable political
preferment he has attained to the
Partially of that party, will delib-
erately betray the trust which has
been reposed in him by confding
constituency, by recording his vote
in favor of a measure calculated to
destroy any semblance of return
ing prosperity and multiplying eve.
ry sacred tradition and principle
of Democracy, handed down to us
by the immortal founder of the
party, Thomas Jefferson. When
the final vote on tue passage OF
this robber tariff is taken, we hope
and believe that the name of Sam
McEnery will be recorded III the
negative, with that of Don Cafe.
ry. He has been weighed in the
scales of official life many times
and has never yet been found
wanting. We cannot conceive il
possible that this noble old Roman
of Democracy will for the frs
time in a long, useful and honora
BILE political career, sacrifice ever,
cherished principle of the party, te
gain tleeting popularity with
few hundred sugar planters o

A Destructive Fire.

A very destructive fire occurred
in New Orleans last Thursday, en-.
failing loss of more than half
million Of dollars. As result.
the Moresque building, one Of the
most ancient and magnificent land
marks OF the city, is in ruins, with
nothing left except a few iron pillars
which will soon he demolished by
the street commissioner-to indi.
cate to the ante bellum visitor, the
locality where once stood in radi.
ant splendor this historic, palatial
structure of iron and stone, fash.
Toned after the Moorish castles of
Spain. The German Gazette and
Eveuing Telegram were also total
losses, while \ dozen other build
ibgs were either partially or Ell.

COWDEN is IsREPRESSIBIE

There is a man bearing the eu-
phonious name of John Cowden,
living in New Orleans, who is alb
seluteIy irrepressible. he is the
most confirmed and irreclalmable
crank of all the loud mouthed out
let Missionaries. He takes advan-
tage of every breach in the levees
of the Mississippi river and rolls it
under his tongue as a delectable
morsel, to denounce the levee sys-
TEN and cry "outletsw "outlets !"
'outlets!' With the most perfect
regard for the maxim that IA wise
man keeps his own COUNSEL" this
blatant outlet crank is never
heard from in low water, but when
ever the Mississippi has to carry
off such a volume of water as to be
impossible Of confinement within
the earthern barriers erected,
breaks them and desolates some
fertile section of country, Cow.
denis refrain is always heard, ~
told you so, demolish the levees
and give US outlets" In pursu.
ance of this vagary, he has in.
duced Congressman w. W. How.
ard, of Alabama-no representa-.
tive from Louisiana being willing
to stand sponsor for the fraud
to introduce resolution authori
zing him to dig a canal from the
Mississippi river to Lake Borgne
at his own expense, for which he
is to be paid S5,00O,00O a foot fol
every foot he reduces the flood le
vel at Carrollton ten hours after
the opening of his outlet. It is
not probable that this resolution
entirely visionary and impractical
BILE, emanating from the diseased
brain of harmless, but deluded
crank, will receive any serious
consideration from Congress. Il
will be, as it ought to be, consign
ed to a pigeon hole; from the Oh
security of which it will never
emerge. 1t is bad enough as it is,
even with the best levees that can
be constructed, but when the Chi
merical theories Of the Cowdenites
prevail, the residents of the Mis-
sissippi Valley must emigrate to
more hospitable localities aud re.
consign the once garden spot OF
the United States, to the reoccu.
paucy of the alligator, gar and
craytish.
