The startling news is published this
morning that yesterday William Walter
Phelps. attorney for the New York and
New Jersey creditors of the Houston

for the appointment of a receiver. It
was well known that the road has been
carrying a large debt, upon which it was
forced to paya heavy interest. The lia

Some four or five of the principal

Gen. Dodge, Mr. Grow, Mr. Phelps and
others to this city the other day, and

A NEW ELECTION.
Editor N. 0. Democrat--In your issue
of 14th inst. you say that if a new elec
tion is ordered in this State the good
people will carry it by fifty thousand
majority.
I know that you are, on sound princi
ples, opposed to a new election, but this
prophecy of yours looks as if you ad
mitted the possible propriety of the
thing being attempted.
If it is attempted it will be the great
est wrong yet inflioted on Louisiana;
and to say that we would carry the
State by any majority at all is ridicu
lous, as long as we have the present
election laws and Radical villains to
administer them.
No, sir; let the peoople frown onil very
suggestion of the kind. We have had
a legitimate election, under infamous
laws and infamous men; we have fairly
won the victory, and we are installed in
power by the virtue of our own strong
arms. b othing but corrupt meddling
from Washington prevents absolute
peace. To consent to another election
will be to give up every right and help
to heap upon ourselves every wrong.
I sincerely trust I am entirely wrong
in my suspicions, but it really looks to
me as it poor Louisiana was becoming
the vietim of the divergent counsels of
her own people. To read the dispatches
from Washington, is to be almost forced
to this conclusion, Can't some local
power order home every politiolan and
aspirant for ocoe? I believe, in my
soul. we should be infinitely better off
Better far have no representation in
Washington than to have a number of
wiseacres busy as bees in "fixing up"
our cause, and yet disagreeing among
themselves as to what should be done.

THE SENATOIiHIP.
Adittor Democrat-Upon my arriva,
in the city from North Louisiana I find
as, indeed, I knew before, that there
are a number of gentlemen whose
claims are being pressed by their re
spective friends for the United States
Benatorship.
Without intending or wishing to dis.
parage the claims of other candidates
all of whom are worthy gentlemen, and
whose integrity and ability entitle
them to the distinguished position of
Senator, in behalf of my section, and,
indeed, of the State at large, I beg to
urge upon our Legislature the pre-emi
nent claims of Judge IH. M.
Spofford, a gentleman whose
private, professional and political
record is withoutshadow of stain. Con
servative enough to meet the require
ments of conservatives; unswerving and
true enough to principle and to the best
interests of the State to meet the re
quirements even of extremists; with
ability enough to reflect honer upon
the State he represents, every consider
ation of expediency and of "the eternal
fitness of things" point unmistakably
to Judge Spofford as the man for the
position generally, and for the occasion
especially. His long residence in other
portions of the State than New Orleans
qualifies him to judge of the wants of
those sections, while his almost equally
long residence in this city qualifies him
to judge of its wants. He is undeniably
the man upon whom all sections could
unite without doing violence to the
interests of either, and upon whom
all members could unite without doing
violence to their own personal or po
litical prejudices, or those of their con
stituencles.
The indications are that Louisiana
must cordially co-operate with Presi
dent Hayes in his foreshadowed South
ern policy, and this to save herself
from utter ruin. Judge Spofford,
as an old-line Whig--and the writer
of this is a life-long Demo
crat-will not be cealed upon to
violate his political creed in urging in
ternal improvements by the general
government, without which the com
mercial and agricultural interests of the
State must remain prostrate for long
years; and at the same time will be
more acceptable to the Prsideat and
to the Senate than a man whose antece
dents are entirely Democratic.
These facts are so patent that they
must force conviction upon the mind of
every member whose judgment is not
warped by personal preference forsome
other candidate.
So far as my section is concerned, I
feel justified in saying that there is no
gentleman in the State whose election
would give such general satisfaction as
that of Judge Spofford. There he spent
the early years of his manhood, and
there laid the foundation of his subse
quent most honorable and successful
career. I venture to say he has never
forgotten those days, nor the people to
w om he owes some deal of gratitude.
It is scarcely necessary for me to
speak of his ability. A ripe scholar, a
profound jurist, a logical, and at the
same time eloquent speaker, perfectly
familiar with tue political, commercial
and agricultural history of the country,
of enlarged and comprehensive views,
and freesrom mentl crotchets or eccen
tricities, Judge Spofford will take high
rank among the first men of the nation.
With Spofford and Eustis in the Senate,
Louisiana will have just cause to be
proud of her delegation-the days of
mlidell, of Benjamia and of Soule will
have come 4gn.
With due doýeneaee to the opoaoft
tors who in aooord with
him are sincere in their professions of
an intention to inaugurate a more
liberal Southern policy than that of
Grant, Judge offord will be permitted
to take his seat-that is, it any one not
an out-and-out Radical will be permitted
to do so, andiwhat choice would there be
between even Kellogg and such a man?
If they are not sincere then what have
we to do with the Senatorship or with
the government? The farce had best
end at once; anything were better than
this terrible suspense, which is prostra
tlng every interest of theState and driv
ing the people almost to the Verge of
frenzy. NonrT Low.IIAINA.

of all oleses of dry goods at fifty cents on the

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Davis' Sueeesser on the Bench to Come
From the eouth.
[Ohioago Timos.]
WASHINGTON, March 11.--Senator
Christianey said, in an interview to
night upon the subject of the vacancy
on the Supreme Bench, that ex-Secre
tery Bristow is the man who should
and probably would be offered the po
sition. Ile declined to talk about him
self in connection with the place. He
stated, subsequently, however, that he
had always regretted the day he left the
beneh to go into the Senate, and if
Hayes should offer him Judge Davis'
place he should accept.
" If I were President," said he, "and
I had inaugurated a Southern polley, as
Mr. Hayes has done, I should select a
man south of the Ohio river or south of
Mason and Dixon's line. It is his evi
dent purpose to appease and conciliate
the Southern people, and as the South
has no representative in the Supreme
Court, it would seem very proper that
this appointment should be given to a
Southern man."
Judge Christiancy was asked by the
Times representative what he thought
of Bristow as a lawyer.
He replied that Bristow had "shown
himself a sound lawyer and a good man.
His administration of treasury affairs
is simply proof of this."
"But does it follow that Bristow would
make a good justice of the Supreme
Court because he was a good executive
officer in the treasury department?"
inquired the reporter.
N.ot necessarily" replied the Sen
ator. "Neither is it necessary that he
should have been on the bench before
to make a good justice. The chief requ
sites for this position, as for all judicial
positions, are honesty and ability.
S THE THUNDEnEl.
It Advises England to Accept the Pro
toeol.
The leading editorial of the Times con
tains the following:
" It may be truly said, the crisis of
the Eastern question has arrived. Never
during any phase of the question has a
more important communication been
addressed by one State to another, than
that of which Gen. Ignatieff and Count
Schouvaloff have been the immediaries.
The substance of it is, that if Great
Britain and the other powers will agree
to maintain the settlement insisted
upon at the conference, and to urge it
upon the Porte Russia will be content
to act in accord with them, and will de
mobilize her armies. This communica
tion is now under the serious considera
tion of the English government. The
terms are oensidered exceedingly mod.
erate by the other powers; and if Bus
ala is content with this settlement, we
can see no sufficient reason for declin
ing it.
MATNEWS AND TAFT.
Garfleld Withdraws at the Request of
the President.
[I(ourier-Journal.
COLUMIBUs, March 11.-The withdrawal
of Gartleld from the Senatorial contest
as announeed to you by the Associated
Press, creates considerable excitement
here, as it virtually removes all hope of
getting in a man from the northern part
of the State as Sherman's successor.
The contest is virtually between Mat
thews and Taft, though Ben.Wade may
yet consent to run, and if so, will com
mand a considerable number of votes,
and probably lessen Matthews' chances,
which are by far the best now. Taft has
arrived, and is putting in his work to
the best possible advantage. Garfield's
withdrawal, it is understood, is at the
earnest solicitation of President Hayes,
who to-day had a long conversation
with him, telling him he wished his aid
in the House in carrying out his policy
in regard to the South.
To-morrow M. L. Byrne & Co. offer remnants
of all classes ot dry goods at fifty cents on the
dollar.
