CORRECT CALCULATIONS.

The Enquirer of July 7th. 1910, says that Van
Buren, will have as large majority In Pennsyl-
vania as Gen. Jackson had in 1928, over $4,000.
This was within 10000 of the truth as we all
know. The Enquirer of March, 1914, says of
the same State, the Locos :" talk of going for
Van Buren, and johnson by 10000 majority. .
Now, if they failed in 40, when $4,000 was ex-
pected, how will it be in IA, when only 10000
is expected? July 7, 1910, speaking Of New

HIGHHANDED PROCEEDINGS.

It is known to our readers that Judge Elliott Of
New Orleans, has been charged with granting
certificates of acknowledgements eighteen hun
dred or two thousand-illegally that the subject
underwent an investigation by committee of the
House of Representatives of Louisiana, who made
a strong report sustaining the charge, which re.
port was adopted by that body with only six dis
sentng votes. That the House then appointed a
committee of FIVE members to prepare articles Of
IMPEACHMENT against this "pipe- laying !"
Judge, and to conduct the trial on the part of the
House before the Senate.
But we now perceive that the Locofocos ofthat
city have no idea of submitting to the Legislature,
or of allowing those illegal votes TO be cancelled
They are determined it seems, that the persons
pers should vote, noens yolens, and have taken
steps to force the votes of the EHoned foreigners
into the ballot boxes as will be seen by the two
following resolutions adopted at meeting of the
Locofocos of the second municipality Of New
Orleans:
Resolved, That, in support of the rights Of those
citizens who have been duly naturalized by
Court of Record, it is our duty as Americans and
democrats to insist with irmness that they shall
enjoy equal rights with the rest of our citizens and
that their rejection as voters will be an act of gross
wrong and injustice, and should be steadily resist
ed by the democracy.
RESOLVED, That the Executive and Ward COM
,nittees Of the second municipality be earnestly
requested to APPOINT ONE HUNDRED DE-
MOCRATIC RESIDENTS TO ATTEND
EACH POLL, AND MAINTAIN AND DE-
FEND THE RIGHTS OF DEMOCRATIC
VOTERS.

MORE PROOFS OF THE FACT

1.-THE Jackson jubilee in st. Louis turned out
most unfortunate affair. In the course OF the
deliberations some resolutions were introduced
and hastily adopted, approving OF the course OF
Mr.. Benton. This action proved subsequently a
source of much uproar in an attempt to recon-
slider and reject. Some fists were doubled up,
like the votes of Connecticut but whether they
were double fists we do not know. The candles
were pulled down, and thrust into the speaker S
face, and finally, the meeting adjourned to eating
but, it is sad that in the confusion they forgot to
roast the OK, the roasting of the audience perhaps,
suficing. They had subsequent meeting, and
blew up the whole previous proceedings, and res
cinded the resolutions in favor OF Mr. Benton"
The following resolutions were passed by &C
clamation at Locofoco meeting III Lewistown
Niagara county. New York:
Resolred, That we are in favor of the one term
principle, and we respond to the sentiments ut
tered by Mr. Van Buren, himself in reference &c
this very contest viz: I" that he had honors and
Offices enough to Salty the ambition of any one
man, and that there are many distinguished names
in the Democratic party entitled to the highest
consideration"
Res0lUed, That "no one can expect or should
desire to be always in Office under government
and institutions like ours" and that Martin Var
Buren, has enjoyed this privilege long enough t
satisfy the ambition Of any one of the Democratic
party"
