ABSTRACT OF THE ELECTION LAW.


The statute OF 18th March, ls4f, regulating
Elections in the Parish Of Orleans, having since
been amended by the repeal OF certain OF Its sec
tons, we nave ihousht that thorough synopsis
OF the law On the subject, Just as 1t stands at
present. would be Goth interesting and useful at
this Juncture.. 1t ls provided:
l. as to Istaees for lot'n9-Ihat the precincts
remain the same as heretofore that there shall be
Two polls IN every precinct, except the Seventh; ;
that these polls shan be numbered "one'' and

MIR. ALEXANDER GRAILHE.

We have not word to urge against this worthy
gentleman, although he has been brought forward
as candidate for the Mayoralty in a rather singu-
lar manner. Suffice it to say that he is a candi-
date, and that his friends advocate his election to
the Mayoralty on grounds that if elected he will
effect many and salutary reforms in the admins
tration of our municipal affairs.
We propose to make two or three simple en-
quiries into this matter, and believe that the
swers which will naturally suggest themselves to
every intelligent mind will fully explode and de-
molish every claim set up in Mr.. Grailhe's behalf
by those assuming to be his friends. In the first
place, what are his chances of election? He has
no chance, whatever We very much question
whether he will obtain o majority of the votes
at single of the forty-seven precincts.
Those who have been principally instrumental in
bringing him forward know that he stands no
earthly show of success, and only urge his can
ddaey with view to damage the head name on
the Citizens ticket
In the second place, assuming an impossibility
for the sake of illustrating the proposition, what
could Mr.. GEailhe do in the way Of effecting the
reforms his friends speak of admitting that he will
be electeds Nething-kteray nothing! He will
hold almost a barren ofice. The charter which
confers powers upon the Mayor, also limits those
powers, and so with every other department of the
city government. All move in different spheres,
and are entirely independent of each other, saving
and excepting the supreme power welded by the
Commsn Council in the way of impeachment and
removal. The Council can impeach and remove
the head of any department from the Mayor down,
and there is no appealifrom their decision.
New, with not ta single member of the Common
Council nominated in conjunction with hini-with
not a single member of the city government in
office, or to be elected, chosen with reference to
his incambency of the Mayoralty ty-what could Mr..
G. do if eleeted2 We have given the answer
above. Nothing absolutely and incontrovertibly
nothing. With an antagonistie Council, he would
be obliged to follow, for the simple that he
would not be allowed to lead This is not posi-
ton for an independent gentleman, OF friend Of
reform, to occupy.
These being facts, we trust none of the friends
of the Citizens ticket-none of the friends of re-
form-none of the friends of good government in
the city Of New Orleans, will throw their votes
away on man who stands not ghost of chance.
If the friends of Mr. Grailhe what they profess
to be-friends of reform--they will all vote, to a
man, for the able, experienced and ineorrupible

VOLUME XIII.
THE ELEcrIoN TODAY.


Before another issue Of the Crescent the election
will be over the result known, and the facts news
paporialiy chronicled. However it may terminate,
the readers Of this journal will be duly posted in
reference thereto, bright and early tomorrow
morning.
For our part we shall be glad when it is ever,
and the political waves subside into the ordinary
summer channels. Having been constrained, as it
were, at the request of large numbers of the most
respectable and substantial citizens Of the me-
tropolis repeated and reiterated time and again,
to accept place on the Citizens ticket as q cam
didate for the Board Of Aldermen, and having
been compelled from irresistible convictions Of
duty to. oppose the bogus, sotermed American
ticket, knowing it to be glaring counterfeit of
once honorable name, it may well be inferred that
the conductor of the Crescent will be gratifed
when canvass in which he has been forced to
play rather prominent part terminates. And, 80
far as we are concerned, we can say, once for ALL
that we cannot be deprived Of consolation. If de-
feated. we shall know that we have discharged our
duty good citizens faithfully, without regard to
personal sacrifices or personal consequences; and
if successful, as we have good reasons to believe
we shall be- the election Of the Citizens ticket will
mot only be very gratifying endorsement Of our
course, but will open up an auspicious era in the
history Of New Orleans. n@
But, will the Citizens ticket be elected? it may
be asked. We have simple, unhesitating reply
to make to this interrogatory-YEs! There Is no
doubt Of il. Success IL as certain Of realization
as the sun is certain to shine again, if there is
| full vote-if the merchants, business men, me-
chanicA clerks, property-holders, and all others
having an immediate prospective interest in the
welfare and prosperity Of the metropolis-turn out
and work and vote for the Citizens ticket, as they
should work and vote, and as hundreds have
| pledged thestselves to work and vote.
| This we say without reservation or qualification.
A full vote, and strong, united effort, will make
victory sure. We have good news from all quart
ers- encouraging indications abound on every
| hand-and nothing but full vote, earnest, unre-
mtting effort, from the opening until the closing
of the polls, is needed to make assurance doubly
sure.' OF course il these characteristics fail to
mark the election, it is impossible to predict the
| consequences,
Then let all friends of.t the Citizens ticket, in all
quarters of the city, and in each and every pre-
cinct, go to work, bring ont full vote, and keep
at work until the hour designated by the law for
the closing Of the polls arrives. Let the motto be,
:" the ticket, the whole ticket and nothing but the
ticket and the ticket will be elected. Shall this
| be done? We trust SO and if it is, the election,
| as well as the future, is secure. Then, rally for
| the cause of reform and the safe, reliable and
patriotic ticket presented by the citizens.

ballotbox and egress therefrom, and for the ex-
posure to public view Of said box during the cleo
t0n. If any Commissioner appointed fail to act,

Votes may appoint substitute. Any member Of
the Board, Judge or Justice, the Sheriff or any Of

8. As to Expenses.-The costs of advertisements
and Of the necessary arrangements at the polls,
and the Office expenses of the Board Of Commits
sioners, shall be paid proportionally by the city
of New Orleans and the Police Jury of the right
bank Of the river, each paying for its own polls;
and an account Of said cost and expenses, signed
by the President and Secretary of the Board, shall
be sufficient warrant for their payment by the pro-
per officer. As to the remaining expenses entailed
by this law, onehalf shall be paid by the city of
New Orleans.
4. Penalties for Election 0fences.-Any person
disturbing any Commissioner or Clerk OF an cleo
ton in the discharge of his duty, or any voter in
the exercise Of his right Of suffrage, shall be imme-
diately arrested by the legal authorities and con-
fined in prison, being first allowed his vote, if he
have the right; !; and on conviction Of any of these
offences, or of having attempted to prevent any
proper yots by intimidation or violence during or
before the election, he shall be sentenced to not
less than six months, nor more than three years
hard labor in the Pententary.
Any persons convicted of combining to obstruct
voters in coming to or going from the polls, shall
be sentenced to hard labor n the Penitentiary for
not less than year and not more than FIVE; and
persons convicted of tearing, breaking stealing or
injurng ballots. baotboxes, returns, lists, ETC.,
shall be sentenced for not less than five more
than twenty years in the Penitentiary.
twill be observed from the above that the offices
Of Superintendent Of Elections, and his deputies,
have been abolished and their police powers re-
turned to their former channels. T.
