The Election is Over.

We can truly say that we are heartily glad
that the election is over. For a while at least
the public mind is free from excitement--free
from the demoralizing influence which an cleo
ton canvas is SO rapidly increasing in this pa.
IRISH and State, and in fact throughout the en-
tire country.
The result, as Gar as the Wing party is con-
cerned, is about what was anticipated. The
following is the vote for State offices:
For Congress-Perkins* 426, Pond 278.
For Treasurer--G5eneaux* 428, Hawthorne
s7s.
For Auditor-Marks* 425, King 279.
For Superintendent of Public Education
Carrigan* 454, no opposition.
For State Senator-Hebert* 448, Johnston
249.
For Representatires--Woods 449, Robert.
son 423--no opposition.
For State Senator and Representatives, the
Wings of the parish made no nominations
They were fully aware Of the uselessness OF
such a course. Mr.. Johnston was brought out
by the Wings of West Baton Rouge, and the
large vote polled against him in this parish as
well as the large vote he received in the other
parish, may be attributed to the influence OF
the Crosse Tete question. The following is
the state of the vote at the several precincts
for local candidates:

A Great Blessing TO the Afflicted.

GTThe number and formidable character of
diseases of the Liver, have long challenged the
attention of medical men. Some of these disea-
ses, classed under the general term of consump-
ton, have been supposed incurable and the I'M
happy patient allowed to die, without medical
science to offer him a hope of recovery. Happily
this can no longer be the case. A remedy has
been found which will cure all complaints, of
whatever character, arising from arrangement of
the Liver. The pills discovered DR.. McLane, of
Virginia. act directly on the Liver; and by cor
recting its operation and purifying it from disease,
cuts off and extirpates the complaints which have
their origin in the diseases of this organ. Rene
dies hitherto proposed for liver complaints, have
failed to operate upon the seat of the disease; but
DR.. McLane's Pills make themselves felt upon the
action of the Liver, and by cleansing the fountain,
dry up the impure streams of disease which thus
derive their existence.

NashuiUe-M Capitol.-The editor of the
Charleston Advocate, in a letter from Nashville,
thus speaks of the new building now being
erected by the State, in that city,:
The Capitol, one of the most magnificent
buildings in the world, is now nearly compile
ted. 1t is built of solid limestone, quarried
near the hill on which it stands, and covers ex-
actly an acre of ground. The architecture is
of the Ionic order, and the ornamental part ex-
ceedingly rich. Its roof is of Tennessee copper,
and the platform for the Speaker, of Tennessee
marble. The cost of the ediice is a million Of
dollars. From the base of the dome a striking
panorama meets the eye. The city lies below
on a bed Of the Cumberland river. At a dis
lance of a hundred miles the blue peaks Of the
Cumberland mountains rise above the horizon.
An amphitheatre of hills sweeps around the
city, the population Of which approaches twenty
thousand. Coming down from our "post Of
observation" we passed the house formerly
occupied by President Polk. It lies at some
distance from the street, and has 10 front a mo-
nument erected over the remains of the late
statesmen. Many of the houses of the city are
built with elegance. 1t is the fashion to paint
in oil eolers the brick houses, and these colors
being generally light drab, there is an air Of
freshness which we miss in the Charleston
houses.

Fireworks and sky ockets.-The triumph
of Mr.. ERWIN on Monday last, besides afford
ing to his friends an occasion Of silent exulta-
ton, such as no election has afforded them for
q long time past, if ever, induced them likewise
to get up a display of Fireworks and Sky.
Rockets, which gave quite a brilliant express
sion to their feelings, and on the whole was ex-
ceedingly pretty. We had the honor of hay~
ing a number Of the rockets sent up about our
office; and Immediately in front of our office
door, as well as above and below, Fireworks
representing the Wheel of Fortune, were fine
ly got up and will long be remembered. For
so handsome a compliment, allow US, on the
part of Mr.. ERWIN and our own account, to re.
turn our grateful acknowledgements.

Unsuccessful Auempt.-The following, strans-
lated from the last Paris Constitutional, gives
an account of a recent attempt by a Russian
prince to assassinate the distinguished general
in-chief Of the Turkish armies
"Prince Gortschakof had resolved to remove
Omer Pacha, and for this purpose he or his
emissaries had tried to poison that gallant gene
raj, who has already done so much towards the
regeneration of Turkey. 1t appears that a
European physician, who arrived some months
back at Constantinople obtained by dint of So
licitation, the direction of The military hospital
at Schumla. 1t seems that Omer Pacha soon
perceived that this person kept up mysterious
relations with Russian spies, and in consequence
he kept on his guard. Soon after, being warned
that there was an intention to poison him, he
feigned to be indisposed, and sent for the medi-
cal man in question to attend him. This per-
son, after examining the patient, went out to
prepare a calming potion, which on his return,
ne presented to Omer Pacha to drink. The
geneaal in-chief of the Turkish army requested
the physician to taste it first himself, and as
the other refused TO do SO, he forced him to
drink the whole of it in his presence. Seeing
that the physician then wanted to hurry out,
he forced him to remain in the tent, in order
that he might judge of the effect of the poison.
At the end Of some hours the physician dice
from the poison" j

The Election in New Orleans.

The papers which we receive to-day, (Ihurs-
dav, and we don't know that we will get any
more papers from the city before our paper
goes to press,) gives unmistakable evidence,
from the appearance Of the figures, that the
whole Democratic Ticket, or nearly the whole,
is carried. MAR1eNr, the regularly nominated
candidate for Sheriff, is e,ected--likewise, with
out doubt, DUNBAR, for Congress? The Bee
says:
The Election yesterday was an exciting one,
and a very large vote was polIed. Considering
that our city was deciminated by the yellow
fever last summer, the vote cast ls the most ex-
:raordinary one we have witnessed. That it
was a fair vote nobody of course imagines--
not even the Locofocos themselves. Assam
pie of what money power can effect, we will
merely cite the case of the 7th precinct. That
portion of the city suffered greatly from the
epidemic, and lost many of its voters. On no
previous occasion did the vote ever reach $50
in the 7th precinct. Yesterday it rose to the
enormous figure of 1898. As this is the strong.
hold of Democracy, the causes and influences
at work may be easily OWNED. The writer of
this saw sundry leaders or 'strikers," as they
are called, parading their money openly, and
employing every engine Of corruption to obtain
votes. What is true Of this precinct, applies
with equal force to the others. The Wings,
though united and raliying CALAMITY around
their standard and bearers, were powerless
against the formidable obstacles with which
they had to contend. They could fight Loco
focoism--but they were unable to overthrow
fraud and corruption. With a complete board
of Democratic Inspectors, the entire police and
all the Federal, State and city officers openly
in the field against them--toiling at the polls,
and backed and sustained by a prodigal dis
bursement of money--the Wings could do
nothing more than combat like men, and sue
cumb to the strength of the adverse party.

Mrs. Van Nooien.-It will be seen, by a no.
tice in another column, that this lady, who has
won such golden opinions on account of the
able manner in which she has conducted her
Institution in this town, is about to leave here
definitely, to give to other localities the benefit
Of her talents and admirable system of ~instruc-
ton for young ladies, and Of the various ac-
compliments requisite. To our brethren Of
the press, and to others among whom this lady
may settle, we can only say that they may be
happy that one so talented and so competent,
in the vocation which she. pursues, has settled
among them. While we regret the occasion
that prompts her to leave, we trust that health
and prosperity will ever attend her wherever
she goes.

The Whereabouts Of Misunderstanding to
the foreign accounts brought by the steamer
Niagara, Kossuth had escaped the London de-
tective police force, and was supposed to be in
Paris, where great efforts were being made to
apprehead him. Speaking of this fact, the New
York National Democrat remarks:
Without pretending to anyprivate knowledge
of Gov. Kossuth's whereabouts, we venture to
predict that he is much closer to the seat of
war. While so many thousands Of Poles and
Hungarians have enlisted under the only flag
now raised d%efantly for human freedom, it is
not probable nor in accordance with his ante
cedents that Kossuth should be absent. Speak
ing on something more than conjecture, and yet
less than positive information, we should say
that the great. Hungarian might more reason.
ably be looked for on the island of Samothrace
than in the cafes of Paris. This We are assured
of, that he is not far from the scene of action
within, at the outside, a three days journey of
Constantinople.

uA Portuguese paper gives some statistics,
which could only be obtained under the spy
system. They report the state of matrimony
in that country. There are in Portugal about
734 married couples, of which the present con.
dition is very nearly as folIows-women who
have left their husbands for their lovers, 1862;
husbands who have left their wives for other
women, 1861; couples who have agreed to live
separately, 1920.
Couples who live in open warfare under the
same roof, 1898; couples who cordially hate
each other, but dissemble their aversion under
the appearance of love, l62,330; couples who
live in a state Of tranquil indifference, sol, 1862;
couples who are thought by their acquaintance
to be happy, but are not themselves convinced
of their own felicity, 102; couples that are hap.
py as compared with those that are confessedly
unhappy, 13l; couples indisputably happy in
each other, 9. Total 872.834.

Justices of the Peace.-J. s. WEBB and w.
b. THOMAS were elected Justices of the Peace
on Monday last, and 7. BLANCHARD, Constable.
WHAT'S a very unusual circumstance, neither
of the above named had an opponent. They
are all Democrats; and their running without
opposition shovs the unfortunate high state
of party feeling in this neighborhood-for we
undertake to say, without the fear Of contra-
diction, that had RosEL1us or any other emil
nent wing jurist, been a candidate for Justice
Of the Peace in this place on last Monday, he
would have been beaten.

duty of pursuing the proper course under the
circumstances.
4. The President will reafirm the Monroe

to apply that doctrine in this case, and will

that were so luminously set forth by Mr.. Ev-
erett, in his mastery reply to the proposition

Obituary

Died-On Saturday morning, 5th Of November,
Mrs. MARY F. ScHLATRE, wife of Mr.. Geryais
Schlatre, residing near this town.
The deceased was a lady of rare virtues and
goodness of heart and not to mention the desolate
hearth which her departure for a better world
has created, her almost broken-hearted consort
and weeping little ones, there are too at the home
Of her youth, bosoms which heave with a grief,
deep and lasting if unavailing, for the loved one
that has gone forever. 1t looks not so hard for age
with its load of cares and sorrows, to 60 down to
the quiet grave; but when the fairest, the hap
piest Of Life's flowers, the g~uileles and happy
heart, warmed by the love that gladdsns and en-
mobiles, suddenly closes those eyes upon which so
many have looked with a thrill Of pleasure, and
thus leaves this world forever-ah! then, indeed,
does Death come in a shape terrible and severe
May angels wait the beloved deceased TO a better
and a happier world.

Am5nion.--He who would acquire fame
must not show himself afraid ofcensure. The
dread of censure is the death of genius. He
who falters in apprehension of the opinion of
his neighbor, has already put himself in the
harness Of a master; and the genius which COM
mands the keys of the future is always an out
lawry. To put ones wings into the keeping
OF another who has no wings, is certainly to
have them clipped close to the shoulders. How
should he approve of journeys by air with the
eagle, who has always pursued his way along
the earth with the snail? That audacity, which
is one of the essentials Of genius, has always
laughed at what the conventional world would
describe as decorum. Genius is Discovery
How should it commit the training fits eyes to
those by whom no discoveries have yet been
made. GEgeria.

Obituary.

Died on the goth ult, at his residence In this
parish, of the epidemic, PAULlN DUPUY, in
the 4eth year of his age.
The deceased was esteemed and respected
wherever he was known. AS a son, a brother,a
friend, he carries with him the tears and prayers
of asympathizing community. He whose bodily
frame bespoke a robust constitution; ne who but
recently walked amongst US with the freshness OF
health imprinted upon his face-now sleeps the
sleep that knows no waking, by the SIDE Oh MS
endeared mother. His sorrowing consort, ms
weeping children, will be soothed in their anllc-
ton when they reflect that everything was done
by the relations of the deceased to prevent tnls
calamity. His able and experienced physician,
being ever found by his bed side, sparedno efforts
in that trying hour when life and death were
struggling for the possession of the deceased; ont
all to no avail. His last hour had sounded-and
the soul of PAULIN DUPUY has taken Its hight 70
its Maker. An aged father, bowed Down by the
weight of wears. laments the loss of a loved and
loving son who had struggled with HIM against
the miseries of want. Brothers. and sisters accom-
panied him to his last repose, and wept over the
remains of one who had so great a hold upon their
affections. His neighbors, too, showed their ap-
probation of his many good qualities, as well ou-
ring his life as during the hour of severest trial
PAuLlN DUPuY had sacrificed every enjoyment TO
the welfare of his children; he had sat beside the
couch of his consort and his son, whom the pestl-
lence had attacked, and he fell a victim to his de-
yotion. May his children emulate his energy, his
industry and his honesty, and they, like him, Will
be numbered with the best citizens of the parish
and State. Let them be consoled, for he "foughtthe
good fght,' and died in the hopes of a blessed i'm
mortality-after having received the consultations
which the Church administers to her docile chill
dren. PAUL1N and VALERIE in one year! Give
their family, o! Lord, the grace to support these
repeated blows. H****.
