MORE or THE DARK LANrERNIrEs.-Tos show to
what an extent the T. Ms managed their election.
eering schemes in this parish on the 9Th inst, we
will relate circumstance that occurred at the Rail-
road precinct about four miles below town. It ap-
pears from information derived from our informant
that certain Mr.. 7. T., native Of sunny France,
had himself put rectus in car;a at the late session
Of the Fifth District Court for this parish for the
purpose Of exercising the rights and privileges Of
an American citizen, at the election which took
place on the 5th inst. On that day he presented
himself at the polls, and advancing to one Of the
commissioners, was in the act Of handing him his
ballot, but before he had time to do go his vote
was challenged, and he returned it to his pocket.
After being put on oath, the necessary questions
were PROFOUND I'd and satisfactorily answered. He
was then informed by the commissioners that his
vote waaa legal one, and that they were ready to re-
ceive it. Mr.. T. not relishng the manner in which
he had been treated by the American born citizen
vhoshad been placed there to guard the purity Of
the elective franchise was not little Hurried and
soured in his feelings, and in putting his hand in
his pocket for his ticket, mistook his mark, and
actually put in the ballatbo1 apromissory note for
the sum Of $4,000, given BY the Rev. Mr.. M,
which, Of course, was returned to him on the coun-
ting Of the votes The antics said it was a Know
Nothing trick, and will probably make use Of it
to show what means we viii resort to defraud an
honest citizen Of his legal rights.

The contest in the Third District, between Davidson

Notwithstanding tits positively certain the Ameri

times gone BY, before we had visited the Attakapas
country, we had imagined our own Lafourche
as q rich and lovely spot, fit to be compared with
any other portions of our fertile and growing State
but we must confess with all truthfuness that
though Lafourche, to use cant expression, is
"some," Attakapas excells her in every thing
climate soil, productiveness and beauty Of country
AZ we neared Jacksonville, night had already
begun to spread her sable mantle on all things
around, and thus obscured from our gaze the
most lovely portion Of the country, up to jean
neretts, the end Of our journey, at which point
arrived at about midnight; and the boat after
dischargng what cargo she had on board for that
place, returned as far as Franklin, which point We
again left before Aurora had illumed the eastern
sky. So we were deprived Of a daylight view Of
the capital town Of Attakapas We arrived at
TigerviIe in time for the evening train Of Wednes-
day, and were safely landed in Thibodaux, at 2
O'Clock =. n. on that day, considerably better in
spirits and minus but 4 triae for "ecood" Thus
terminated our voyage to the Saline Creek.

PErTr REvESGE.--The Rome (Georgia) Courier
gives a striking instance Of the pitiable spirit OF
revenge that aninnates the bosom of the present
CSef Executive II appears that Mr.. Howard, Of
Kingston, a heavy manufacturer Of lime, met Gov.
johnson in a public discussion a short time before
the election, at which his ExccIlcncy seems TO
have tsken mortal offence. According to the
Courier, he has adopted the following method Of
avenging the severe castgation he got on that oc-
c,sion:
"Snce the day Of this discussion not a single
car has been suffered TO stop at Mr.. Towards
kiln, The day after the election the switch for
turning cars TO these works was taken up, under
promise that II should be replaced.
"This promise u win be noticed, was made
while the result of the election was yet unknown.
A few days since Mr.. Howard was informed by
the super, isor that this switch 10 be destroy
cd, and OF course his business entirely stopped
This vindictiveness is outrage, not only to Mr..
H., but also to number Of poor men, who are,
by this means, thrown out Of employment Com.
ment upon such conduct as this d unnecessary.
We only wish TO lay the facts before the people
that they may know the course pursued by their
Chief Executive"

The Grand Jury of Baltimore, in their re-
port to the Criminal Court, few days since,
take occasion to reprimand his honor, Judge
Stump, for his 10 kitty in administering the laws,
and for his Partially towards the offenders
against the laws. They say
lowing to the great facility in the removal Of
cases 10 Baltimore County Court, the ends of jus
tice are defeated and crime escapes unpublished,
and the city Of Baltimore is heavily taxed. The
sooner the evil is corrected the better.
"Tbe small amount Of fines and short imprison-
mcnt imposed by the Court In many cases Is, in
fact, no punishment whatever. Unless the crimi
nal law Of our city IL greatly improved lawless-
ness and violence win continue TO prevail, almost

the power TO remedy or amend such state Of ar
firs All they can do Is in the discharge Of their
official duties TO call attention TO them. Il Ia for

On the reception Of this report his honor

with having indicted parties for minor offences,
