Hon T. E. Meredith, of Caldwell
parish, one of the Democratic Sena
tors of Lauisiana, died In New Or
leans on Thursday.
River navigation between Shreve
port and the Mississippi river was
still entirely suspended on Sunday
last, by the mud accumulated at the
mouth of the Rod.
Texas has planted tho true Egyp
tian rice, and finds that It flourishes
on prairie upland and yields ten
times as much as any other variety;
that the heads are larger aud the
grains heavier, darker, and mors
easily obtained than the varieties
now cultivated.
In New York city, during the year
just closed, 104 persons died who had
reached their 90th year of age, and 13
died who had reaoeed their one hun
dredth year ofage. Of the latter, e
were 100 years old, one 101 years, one
103 years, one 106, two 100 years, one
110 arid one if 2, Only two of these
hir-teen were natives of the United
Ttates. ' •
It is said that early In the spring
“Teu-Broeck.” “Tom Ochiltree”
and "Pellowcroft” will be matched
at Louisville, Ky., for a grand four
mile race. The Jockey Club intend
to offer a purse of SIO,OOO for a four
mile race, limited to these three, and
conditioned that ail enter aud stait.
The closing of navigation at the
mouth of Red river cuts New Orleans
off from all communication with the
Black, Ouachita and Atehiifulupa
river; also with bayous Teobe apd
Courtabloau. Receipts of cotton at
New Orleaus must be considerably
curtailed, temporarily at least, by
this obstruction.
We have received from Hunt &Cos.
seedsmen of Chattanooga, Tenn, a
small package of their “Baden’s
Centennial Prolifio White Flour
Seed Corn,” which was recently ad
vertised in our paper. They claim
tnat it has farm 6 to 12 ears on every
stalk, and will produce 85 to 100
bushels per acre; also that it makes
better meal than common corn. The
price is $1 (postage paid) for a pack
age containing something less than
a pint,
A special of Wednesday from Wash
ington to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
says that President Grant was on
that day asked by a politician, who
visited him, if it was true that he had
ordered the removal of certaiu ord
nance and munitions of war from the
St, Louis Arsenal to a point near the
Capitol. He replied that it was true,
and that the difference between his
own and the administration of Pres
ident Buchanan in the face of danger
was, that while Buchanan sent ord
nance and munitions of war from the
North to tlie South, he sent such
armaments from the South to the
Nurtb,
Grant is reported to have said in
an interview the other day, that if
Tilden was inaugurated, “hot one of
the Republican governments at the
South could stand twenty-four
hours.” The “RepubUcaa” govern
ments alluded to are those of South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana
theee being the only State govern
ments of South now claimed by
that party. Grant undoubtedly tells
the truth in this instance. Only his
bayonets impose upon the people of
these three States governments which
they never elected, and which they
would quickly shake off as usurpa
tions and frauds if they were not up
held by Federal power. Of course
Gov. Tilden recognizes the right of
the people of each State to choose
their own officers, and he could not,
therefore, continue to impose upon
them by military force governments
which they have not. elected. But he
would not interfere to remove those
governments, and noJDemoorat would
ask him to interfere. If these govern
ments are of the people and sustain
ed by the people, they can support
themselves; if not, they will fall,and
ought to fall. They are now Grant’s
governments. We believe that they
would not beTTlden’s.

MONT HEIELUOCI.
The threat repeatedly made
through the Administration organ at
Washington, that If the House of
Ropresentatieves should attempt to
elect a President without the concur
rence of the Senate, the members will
be arrested for treason Is the most
rebellious and treasonable proposi
tion yet made. Tho duty of electing
a President in a named contingency,
Is one solemnly devolved on the House
by the Consttiutlon, Neither the
President nor the Senate has any
thing to do with it. It Is a matter ex
otwimty within the jurisdiction of
the House, ahd being exclusively
within the province of the House,
It Is of course for the House to
determine whether the occasion
for Its exercise exists. This
must be left to the discre
tion of tho House, because
there is no power which can make
the House elect if It decides that there
is no such a power, It must be judi
cial—certainly not executive or mili
tary. This discretion of the House
is positive as well as negative. If no
other department *of the Govern
ment can make it elect a President
when in the judgment of the House
the contingency does not exist, so no
other department oau rightfully pre
vent it from electing when it decides
that the emergency exists in which
the Constitution makes it its duty
to elect. The proposition that the
President can step In with the mili
tary arm of the Government and ar
rest the members of the House as trai
tors for exercising thisdlacretlofi.iH s
absurd its it Is usurpatory end rebel
lious. It would make the President
master of the situation in the deter
mination of a question with which
he has no constitutional power to
meddle in any way whatever. Should
he really attempt to carry out the
threat of the Republican, he would aim
at the grasping of powers careful
ly withheld from him by the Consti
tution, and the successof iiisattempt
would be the complete overthrow
of popular and Republican govern
ment in this country.

New Hampshire has made a con
servative step, whether backward or
forward it is difficult to say. By an
amendment of the constituting, the
Senate of the State has had its mem

made to consist exclusively of pro
perty holders. In former times the
Senates of North Carolina, Yirginia,
and perhaps other States, were com
posed exclusively of landed proprie

more democratic. Now New Hamp
shire has adopted a qualification
which they have discarded.
We learn from the New Orleans

KENTUCKY.
Its Rivers, I.nnds. Mineral*. Neenrry.
* &e.
Kentucky, Jan. 6,1877.
Editor Columbus Times: The Geo
logical position of Kentucky Is one
of interest, situated between lat
tude 38 deg. 30 min., and 39 deg.
0 min. north, longitude 6 d>g.,
and 12 deg. 38 min. west from the
House Grant lives In. It embraces
40,000 s iuare miles, Its area extend
ing down the Ohio from Cbuttera
wah river to tho Mississippi, a dis
tance of near 700 mii -s; surrounded
by Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Tennes
see and Virginia border States,
claimed In the sectional strife in the
Union as the tail end of tho North
and the head of the South politically.
Be this as it may, this grand old com
monwealth of beuutiful wonDn, chi
valrio men, and fast race horses, oc
cupies a position of vast importance
with reference to the commercial
lines of the American Continent.
The Mississippi river is the key to
America. Those states that lie be
yond its waters are smalt in number,
and cold in climate, inhabited by
blue-blooded peoplo. All things
studied, Kentucky occupies ari im
portant portion of this great valley
of the "Father” of waters. Its boun
dary is only 1075 miles from the mouth
of this great river on one side, on
the other within 500 tulles of the At
lantic coast. It bus more river
length than any sister State. It has
4,000 miles of navigable streams,
with but slight improvements need
ed to run every mile by boats.
geologically.
composed of a series of rocks which
extend for miles on the Mississip
pi valley. On the eastern line of tho
State the crystalline rocks of the
Bine Ridge, the axis of the Appa
lachian chain bordered witii rocks of
the cambrain age. At low point on the
Ohio above Cincinnati, the lowest ex
posed rocks of the state answer to
the base of Carodoe beds of England.
Then comes the Cumberland sand
stone. Perhaps after this the bed of
the ocean was peopled with life dur
ing the Clinton and Niagara epochs,
at that time deep water continuing
to the Devonian period, when this
section began deposition. The dying
sea weed formed a bed of great thick
ness, said to be one hundred feet
thick in Kentucky. This bed
furnishes the oils of the Cumberland
valley. After this, says Professor
Shaler, “come again shallow water
and quick successive sand invasions,
moving from the North, which form
ed several hundred hundred feet of
beds. These beds probably repre
sent but a fraction of tho time re
quired to form the Black Shale which
lies below. This part of our period
is called the Waverlv, and is com
monly regarded as being more near
ly related to the Carboniferous than
to the Devonian series of rocks.
After this period came a repetition
of subsidence, and a cessation of the
sand invasions. During this time
there was such a development of
sea-lilies or stemmed Echinoderms,
that this time deserves to be called
the period of crinoids. This accumu
lation ranges in a depth from a few
feet along the Ohio river to five hun
dred or more feet under the Western
Coal field. It marks a period of tol
erable deep still water, filled with
lime secreting animals. It is probab
ly to the unbroken character of this
succession of life, and especially to
the crinoids with their upright stems,
that we owe the uniformly massive
character of many of the beds of this
subcarboniferous limestone.”
“Next in the ascending series we
come on the coal bearing rocks.
Their deposition was begun by the
sudden shallowing of water over this
region, bringing the old sea-floor
near the surface of the water, and
subjecting it to alternating invasions
of sand borne by strong currents,
and exposures in low-lying flats cov
ered by a dense swamp vegetation.
Each of these swamp periods an
swers to a coal-bed; each recurring
subsidence, to the deposits of sand
and shales that lie between the
coals.”
“After the Carboniferous period,
we are warranted in believing that
this region was but little below the
sea, and with this change it became
essentially subjected to land condi
tions alone. The wear incident to
these conditions has swept away a
large part of the exposed rocks, and
reduced the Carboniferous series .to
less than half its original thick
ness.
“Near to the present time there
came a sudden subsidence of this
whole region, that brought the low
lying western part of the State be
neath the level of the sea, and retain
ed it there while the Tertiary depos
its were being formed out of the
waste of the higher parts of the Mis
sissippi valley that still remained
above the sea.”
THE GENERAL SURFACE
Is that of table-land, declining to the
Ohio river, having many minor
features that we can’t describe.
Prof. Sbaler aptly says: The whole
of Kentukey lies within the Missis
sippi Basin, and within the special
division of the Ohio Valley. Its prin
cipal feature-lines have been given it
by the river excavations. A small
area on the south-east, containing
not more than four thousand square
miles, lies within the disturbed struc
ture. The remainder is essentially a
plain or table-land, sloping from the
south-east towards the north-west,
and little broken, except by the deep
cutting river excavations. In the
eastern half this table-land has an
average height of about one thousand
feet above the sea; the ridges often
reaching to fifteen hundred, and the
valleys down to seven hundred feet.
The greatest difference between the
bottom of any one excavation valley
and the borders of the divide does
not exceed about seven hundred feet,
and is usually about half this amount.
Eight degrees west of Washington
the country begins to sink down grad
ually to the west. Its effect is to car
ry the upper surface of this table
land gradually downwarus, until
along the Mississippi its average
height la not more than three hun
dred feet above the sea, and the av
erage difference between the bottoms
of the valleys and tho tops of tho
ridges Is not over Arty feet.”
RIVERS.
Tho Chatterawah separates Ken
tucky from Wftst Virginia. All of
its busln is coal-bearing rocks, the
only river in America possessing this
characteristic. The Little Sandy lies
in the Carboniferous fields and forms
a prong of tho Chatterawah. Ty
gerts is not navigable, but easily
made so. The Lickiug is fourth in
size of the Kentucky rivers. The
Kentucky river is second In volume
and first in length; Sait river (the
stream Hayes should navigate the
4th of March) is a considerable
stream; the Cumberland, with its
upper half and lower sixth in Ken
tucky, is navigable to the crossing of
the Cincinnati andCiiattanooga Rail
road ; the Tenuessee debouches into
the Ohio in the State of Kentucky,
flowing through Kentucky for
sixty miles above the mouth; the
Ohio Mississippi are on the bor
ders for over 700 miles: thus wo have
the riVersof Kentucky,except Greene
river.
THE NATUAL BEAUTIES OR nEH SCENERY.
All along the banks of her streams
are impassable varieties of lovely
views. Their head branches are from
the Cumberland range, in the middle
they cut through gorges into deep
gulches or canons, and near the
mouth they quietly flow into the
Ohio and Mississippi. On tho upper
Cumberland is the finest views of the
Appalachian chain, on the Kentucky
the most sublime scenery east of the
Mississippi. Along the waters of the
Greene the heart of the child of na
ture is made glad on beholding the
high cliffs, castle-like towering hun
dreds of feet above the stream. Says
a distinguished writer on this subject:
"The cultivated district of Central
Kentucky, commonly known as the
Blue-grass District, is perhaps for its
area the most beautiful rural district
in America. The surface is undulat
ing; large areas of the original for
ests have been cleared of their un
dergrowth and produce a fine close
sod, and in these wood-pastures are
some of the finest flocks and herds
in the world. It has happened to the
writer to pass on several occasions
from this region to the richest lands
of middle England, or I'ice verm; and
tie has always has been struck by the
singular likeness of the two coun
tries. There is a closer re
semblance between the surface of the
country, the cattlo, horses and even
the people of these two areas than
any other two equally remote regions
in the world.”
“The western par' of the State abounds
in natural beauties; the rich forests and
the noble rivers, the Mississippi, Ohio
Ti nnessce, Cumberland, and the Greene,
give it a most attractive surface. Even
the deep swamps of the lowest regions
have a sombre charm that deserves the
attention of the tourist. No region ever
visited by the writer exceeds in weird
beauty the environs of Reel Foot Lake,
where the great earthquakes of 1811-13
formed a lake some fifty miles in area.
All over its surface stand the trunks of
the cypresses that grew in the swamps
before the convulsion. These are now
reduced to tall columns blackened and
whitened by decay. The surface of the
lake is a mass of water-plants, in sum
mer a perfect carpet of flowers; Nytn
phtfis, a half-foot or over, and the Nel
utobium, water-chenquepin, or American
lotus, a golden flower often exceeding a
foot in diameter, cover its surface with
their blossoms and fill the air witli their
perfumes.”
There are many other points of interest
pleasing to the eye, that delight the heart
with magnificent scenery that beggars
description. “B.”
