LOUISTANA-ALL HAIL!
"ANOTHER SCREW LOOSE"

A1%R oSASAS" LOUISE
 We are just beginning to get the returns of the election in this State, which was held on the 9th, Hh and sth inst. They are suspicious of the great battle next fall as could be wished. Though we may and probably shall lose Congressman, in district which has always heretofore been strongly locofoco when personal popularity has not counterbalanced national politics, yet the loss will be made up by the Legislature choosing whg Senator in Congress in place of MT. Mouton, loco By the returns below, it will be seen that New Orleans has given the unex. pected and overwhelming majority of I1l9! This when compared with the electoral vote of 1886, and for Governor n 1888, was astounding to both friends and foes of the administration No one anticpatedit it and until the canvass was commenced on the 9th the whgs were apprehensive, such was the clamor raised by the locos that they might lose one member ofthe legislature; but the lowest on the list was cho- sen by upwards of lO5o majority. In 1886 the whig majority only II in 1888. only IA now, eeuen hundred and nineteen for Congressman, and nearly that for all the members of the legislature This too in southern s,ae-in slere-hoLling state--where the cry of abolition, Of cowardice, of incenpetency ande every thing else which the ingenuity of the to- res could invent, was brought to bear against Gen. HARRISON. How signally have all these been rebuk ed by the people of New, Orleans! Following as this does the of Virginia We feel strongly encouraged for many other of the Southern States in the good cause.

 LOUISIANA ELECTION.
 UNPARALLELED WHIG TRluMPH.-Never have we taken up pen with prouder feelings than those we experience m chfoncling the most unprecedented ri- umph ever achieved by the Republicans of Orleans The Harrs'n banner floats from the spires and domes ot the crescent city The great mart of the South has spoken She has rebuked the spoilers with mighty voice She has shown the impotence of the nsera- ble revilngs of the executive against a great and good man. She has spurned and rejected hs ealun1- nlators
 Desperate has been the struggle and unparalleled the victory. NewOreans has never under any cir cumstnnceseven to her most favored sons given such tremendous maloritles. She had to combat an army ot othce-holders laden with spoils she had to con tend with prelndces, with old and cherished opinions, thousand obstacles whose magnitude can only be appreciated hv eve-wirnesses. Yet she has thrown a vote tor the Harrison ticket that will make the mvr- mdons of power quake with apprehension. Prodi- gous as is the majority, we predict it's increase by hundreds in November
 We have no further space for comment, but must refer readers to the glorious result as detailed in our columns.
