THE ELECTION.

The returns received SO far, satisfy Us that
The wings are completely routed "horso, foot
and drigoonR." The dreadful state Of tie
weather on the l91h, deprived the wings Of
several hundreds Of votes and consequently
the dete II OF some Of their candidates for the
Legislature, To Use the language ofthe BEE:
"Locofnros vote in all kinds of weather.
the materials Of which The rank and file Of
that marty are composed, care nothing for a
wet jacket-they would lbronr the polls, if
tho Heavens raincd spikes and pitcbforks.
The wings love not the inclemencies of the
skies and cschew them with an aversion that
will mot be gl'usaid. So in almost every
scarcely one does the wing vote not fall off.
IN that strong wing parish s., Landry, at one
preciot (Grand Coteau) eight votes were pol.
led, instead az 250-in this precinct the wing
majority il I75--so much was therefore, lost (;
add to this, IS wing majority rejected infor-
mality At another precinct and we lose $40
IN a single parish. This IS our luck.
One thing is certain, we have NOS only lost
our governor aud lieutenant governor, but al.
SO the Legislature. anl consequently a Uni
ted States Senator, in the place Of the Hon
A Barrow, whose term Of service expires on
the Al Of March next. Returns from %
parishes give Judge Johnson a majority Of slS
The twenty parishes 70 DO heard from, will

tors ana the loeolocos I3, Taere are seven
districts yet to be heard from. or the 90
Representatives, "a wings and 80 democrats
are elected. As soon as We can give a table
Of the fall returns, and tho names oftbe

but CITIZENS Of Baton Rosge, men whose re-
~putation for correct department, could easily
obtain for them security that they would keep
an orderly house, ought 10 be permitted tore :
tail liquor; and on complaint Of one OF more
respectable citizens that the conditione were
not fulfilled, power ought to be vested in the
town mayor aud council TO Withdraw said IL
cance; when they were satisfied that tho eom-
plants was well founded. Several of those
~groggaries never pay a State tax. When
the collector calls on them "they aiu't thar"
II the law was go amended as to meet the
suggestions z ven abtve, and make the State
tax payable during he first three months al
ter taking the licenct, many Of the denoral-
izing scenes and brawis we are subject to in
Tie course of the year would be avoided, and
the loafer aud pauper expense would be in a
great measure erased from The tax list Of The
corporation. This subject is one that demands
the serious attention OF p"operty-1oIders and
olhors, who sincerely desire the welfare and
prosperity of our town, If we wish to rem
der the town what il ought to be, our citizens
must throw away all selfish views, and nOira
on what will be for the greatest good 10 the,

FlRE-Our citizens we're alarmed on

Of FIRE. It was soon ascertained 10 proceed
from a groEgery near the ferry landing. The
Citizens who happened to be in the nsfghbor-
hood, put out the IRE, and lodged the keeper
iaiail, en- suspicion, from his actions, that he
had set the liquor on fire. Had ills accident
happened at he dead Of The night, there is no

Thursday last, ard i being proved that Tie
fire was purely accidental, the keeper Of the
grog-shop, Mr.. Patrick Wade. was pu; under
bond of $500 to keep the peace.

"WoRD IN Pr1vArE,"-Tn the town of w,
in this State, while Elder X. was preaching
of The forenoon of a Sabbath, a few years
since, a Mr.. C**++ arose, and asked leave to
tell his experience. The Elder desired him
to wait untilthe ermo was over, which he
did. When the Amen was pronounced, he
sprang upon his feet and began to relate bis
religious experience Of some tw%enty-odd
years. The past half year having taken more
time than the sermon, the Elder became i'm
patient, aud tried in vain to stop him. The
congregation were also put out of patience,
snd several who knew him yentured TO ask
him 10 postpone what he had to say till after
dinner, but TO no purpose. At length Dea-
con True walked up TO him, and putting his
hand gently upon his shoulder, whispered in
his year-"Brother G4%9 want to speak a
word to you III private ;" and turoed round
and walked directly out of the door but
looking back over bis shoulder as he crossed
the threshold, Mr.. c., with great simplicity,
cried-"Deacon, it's no use-T haven't got a
cent of noney-and the cid colts dead" It is
perhaps unnecessary to add that Brother q
bad brought a colt Of the Deacon a few
months before, ard that he supposed the
sword in private" was to dun him for the pay.
Though Sunday, the congregation broke up
IN a roar Of laughter.-Boston Message.

ANT1-CAFt7AL PUN1sHBENT.-Thomas 4
Smith, Of Syracuse, n. Y, writes to the
Prisoners Freud, at Boston, as follows !:
During the ensuing winter we shall prob
ably take some active measures on the i'm.
portant question of the Abolition Of Capital
Punishment, by the formation of a Society or
otherwise such as public meetings for its
discussibu-or both. There is a wholesome
state Of feeling in this community on the
subject, among The better informed portions,
as / have had great evidence to show, to wit
| obtained last winter, with little trouble, the
signatures of near one hundred Of our best
citizens to a petition to our Legislature, pray
ing for this object. More could have been
obtained then and many it is believed, who
then would have h~esjtatpd had the petition
beeen presented 10 them, now subscribed
readily.
What We have most stood in need of has
been a Speaker. The feeling has been right,
in the right portion Of the community there
has been wanting a voice 10 give shape and
ntteranCe to these feelings, This desjdera-
tum has, in a good Measure, been supplied
by the settlement III the Rev, Mr.. Nay among
US. The measure accords with his sytnpa-
thies and HE judgements and his fife Talents
i'll be made available in its promotion.

INGENIOUS DECEPTr3N.-The N. Y. Mir.
FOR gives the following account of a neat
trick attempted in that city lately. A
"very gentlemaniy looking man. called a
few days since at a store in Broadway, and
enqutred Of the proprietor, who is a Ger
man, It he would like TO sell a medicine oil
~"knopn celebrity" stating at the same
time the per Centage which would be allowed,
and pointing out the advantage which would
accrue to his store, from the publicity it
would acquire, from the extensive advertis-
ing Of the medicine. The GernJ4ri, feeling
satisfied that he could lose nothing BY the
experiment, consented to receive a specified
number of bottles.
In due time they came, and very elegant
in outward appearance they certainly were,
being beautifully labeIled-with a bronze
wrapper, a Ia Ctinoise, and marked in illu-
minated figures "price 3d." Tho perfume
emaEating from the unfolding of the bright
wrappers, aud The glitter Of the embossed
name-("Fhe Elixir OF lifo''}-pIeased The
German so much that be was induced TO
place the bottles in the most conspicuous
part Of the store. Scarcely had the Japnica
flint "meIled into air" when a gentleman. APP
~parentIy very near sighted, gave an equiv
erjug look into the store, and Coughing very
consumptiveIy demanded if such an adyer-
tised medicine was sold there naming the
Elixir Being answered ia the affirm a
tive, he threw q so goId piece on the counter
and clutching tho bottle with as much avidi-
~ as though he had really obtained "The
Elixir of lIfe,' rushed from the store. The
demand was 30 frequent that before three
days had elapsed the stock was sold,
The gentlemanIY looking man again made
his appearance 10 negotiate with the German
fer the sale of The remaining lot on hand, and
received from him the pron eeds Of the last,
amounting to gao, the Ge-m4n receieving
his 810. The excuse for the sale of all his
medicine was iIl-haaItt, necessity Of remoy-
ing to a warm climate, &c, and the German
being satisfied, the articles of sale were
made ont and completed, all but the signing.
when a Yankee friend, possessing more
shrewdness than the German, stepped in and
rescued him from the loss Of some $500 or
5000, subsequent enquiries proved that
the 'gentlcman'' bad sent persons 10 pur-
the medicine, and an examination of
the GLOWING bottle proved it tn contain
molasses and water peffumed with some
powerful essence,
