THE Way LOUISIANA WAS GARFIELD
The N. o. True Delta says that the cry in
New Orleans was "damn the Presidential
clection--give us the New Constitution;'
shOA money was freely distributed to men to
eIectiopre or; that Gen. Scott wes sacrificed
In New ORLEANS. and that swapping votes,
the New Constitution and that the Dem,
ocrutic Stute Central Committee was at the
head olit. That paper advises the oppo-
nents Of the New Constitution not to cease,
but to organize m opposition TO II in every
parish in the State, to insure its early aud
complete overthrow.

SPEcIEs OF WOLVERINE PATRIOTISM The
Michigan papers state that in several parts
Of that State, our opponents have celebrat-
ed their late victory by hanging and burning
Gen. Scott | efigy. This is, we are pleas
ed to state, the only section of the Union
from which we have heard of any such feel
ing being manifested. The idea Of a man,
who has devoted his life to the service OF
his country, defending its rights whenever
assailed, both at home and abroad, being
burnt In efigy, and that, too, by those, who
were, perhaps. at the time he was protecting
the liberty they now enjoy, in their moth
er's urms, is revolving and beneath contempt,
and any man, who would be guilty Of such
an act, Is unworthy the name OF an A.
merican citizen. - Zdnes. Cour.

y Since the vote Of 1913, q portion ofVio-
let..township has been taken from Fairfield
and attached to Franklin. 1t is supposed
that about 200 voters were embraced in this
portion.
I In 1910, the territories Of Rushcreek
aud Auburn constituted one township, un
der the former name. 1t was afterwards d.
vided; but subsequently a part ofAuburn was
attached to Hooking county and the re-
mainder now votes in Rushcreek.
Perry township, since the vote Of 1913,
has been attached to Hooking county.
There was no change in territory until AZ
ter lS4S. 1t will be nuiiced that the lar
gest number Of votes was polled in 1874, the
total, with fifteen free %.soilcrs, reaching 6l94.
In 4 S,with forty-two free-soi iers, the coun-
~ polled 1905, or 1919 votes less. AS near
as we can ascertain, there were taken from
the county 3O5 votes in Violet township,
228 votes i'm Perry, and about 90 votes in
Aubnrn-total 523. This shows a small
decrease in the vote Of 1859 from that OF
1913, Of about forty but at the same time it
exhibits a change for the better.
So much for the result generally. We
suppose our Wing friends will be anxious to
learn the name of the Banner township, in
this general wreck of Wing majorities. Only
three townships have increased their Wing
vote and we can only guess at two ofthem
Berne gives seven of an increase-that is
certain. II we were correctly informed at
the time a portion of Violet was detached,
one hundred Wing votes were taken off; but
we think there was n mistake in the calcu-
~lation, as sixty-six votes were polled for Mr..
Vinton at the subsequent election. Taking
this as a test, Violet would show a gain of
about -. About fifty Wing votes reside in
that part Of Auburn attached to Rushcreek,
and we suppose that there is a slight gain in
this township. Our own impression is that
Violet should have the banner; but in this
difficulty, our opinion should not be taken as
law, and we would respectfully submit the
case to the Executors Of the Chippewa
Club" Messrs. G. G. Beck, ]. C. Weaver
and John r. Mumuugh.
We suppose it will be no more than fair
to give our Free Soil friends a show in the
general exhibit, and we accordingly publish
their table below:

been circulating, to the effect that Mr.. W.,

This gives Pierce a majority of l 1872 over
Scott. We think a pretty full vote of the
county was out, and at best we do not sup
pose it could have been increased beyond
$500.

cause he knows that with their vast capital,

can keep the world tributary to the British

no blame to attach to him, but respectfully
submit whether this British policy is the best
for us Of the United States. OF course il is
too late 70 expect anything at this time, but

He is a member of Parliament, and urges
free trade for substantial reasons. Refer
ring TO the emigration from Britain, he says,
at is for US that the emigrant is turning the
forest into corn6elds on the banks Of tine

And do not imagine that our countryman
who goes abroad is altogether lost TO us.-
Even if he 90 from under the dominion and
protection of the English dag, and settle
himself among a kindred people, still he is
not altogether lost 10 us, for, under the be.
nignant system Of free trade, he will still
remain bound to us by close ties. [Cheers.

FIVE CHILDREN IN ELEVEN MONTHs.-A
gentleman informs Us that a lady residing
near him, presented her husband with three
children at one birth ayear ago, and az her
landlord was a whole souled gentleman, he
gave the lady fifty dollars as an acknowl-

affairs; telling her at the same time that If
she would perform that feat again, he would
give her a farm.
With an eye probably on the farm, in
eleven months from the day that the three
were born she produced a pair Of twins.
Tie landlord said that she had failed
to win the farm, but the intention no
doubt being fair, the attempt was worth pay

one hundred dollars.

pondentgives the following item:
This morning the ex-King Jerome, ac-
complained by his son, Napoleon Bonaparte,
went to St. Cloud, when the ex-King de-
clared to Louis Napoleon that he felt the ex-
clusion OF his family from the succession as
so great an insult to himself and his son that
he was determined to resign not only the
Office Of President Of the Senate, but that
Of Governor Of the InvaIides, and the only
dignity be would continue to hold was that
o fMarshal of France.
Louis Napoleon endeavored to calm the
irritation Of the old man, and to induce him
to change his mind. He stated that al
though he and his family were not to be
mentioned in the Senatus Consultum, they
were not, therefore, excluded from all hopes
of the succession. He (Louis NapoleoD)
would still have the power of adopting Ma
paleon Bonaporte, if he should have no family
of his own-and his intention was to do so,
if he show ed that he was deserving Of the
trust, and could, by his conduct, gain the
confidence of the country. Louis Napoleon
added, that in the meantime he was willing
to place Napoleon Bonuparte, in a position
Of trust and dignity.
The affair remains in this position for
the trcscnt-but | understand that the ex-
King persists in his determination to resign
both the Presidency Of the Senate and the
Governorship OF the Invalides.
