1t will be seen that the polls will be opened al
o, and remain open until o'clock this evening, al
the respective places mentioned. All long tails
01D hohot SEAOAi1taHh uu-lhliS, Will pay que
need, and govern themselves accordingly. We
charge nothing for the intelligence we may be in
strumentai in communicating. 1t is our province
% well AZ oHr duty, to enlghten the world and the
rest OF mankind, and we take much satisfaction in
being able tp do so at all times and under all cir
cumstances.
The second resolution quoted above reads rather
ambiguously, when we take into consideration the
straightlaeed Old Line Democratic source whence
1t emanated4 After stating the time and places for
opening and closing the polls it says that they shall
"remain open for the reception of properly quail
fed cotes," dtc. Now good vote can only be cast
by properly qualified . voter. What is prop
erly qualified voters On this point the Federal
and State laws are perfectly plain and simple. Any
native Of the United States over twenty y-one years
of age, resident in Louisiana legal length of
time, and in his precinct three months, we believe
is "propArly qualified Y voter; and every for
eigner, ovef his majority, who has been duly
naturalized, and who has otherwise complied with
the requirements of the State law, is also prop
erly qualifiRd'i voter. Consequently, it would
SEEM according to the wording of the resolution
referred to, that all legally qualified voters in the
parish of Orleans, are invited to the respective
polling stations and to an informal exercise of the
inestimable prerogatiye Of suffrage. Taking the
resolution by itself we do not see how any other
deduction can be legitimately drawn, although
such was not probably the intention of the au-
thors of the document.
We shall DE able to tell in to-morrow,s Crescent.
whether the Long tails have triumphed, or whether
the Bob-taik have succeeded. The Custom House
is putting forth mighty efforts on behalf of the
Long-tails !; and we understand that the Bob-tas
are determined to die hard, or win.

The country is safe anyhow, at least for the
present.
