The Il antucky Election.

The election of Judge Duvail, as Clerk
of the Court of Appeals, which is an impor-
tant State office, and Of some pccuniarv prof
it, means, as We understand it. say 5 the New
York Express, no more than that a large
majority of the people Lave thought proper
to avenge, through him, an outrage COM
mitted during the war, of using the militia
ry power of the Government to prevent the
people from casting their Ballots for him,
when a candidate for State Judge. 1t is
just one of those cases where the majority
of voters, whenever the opportunity occurs,
will take it upon themselves, to right the
wrongs of their fellow citizens. We have
seen such cases often before, aud shall wit
ness them many times hereafter. '-
That Judge Duvall is a Constitutional
law loving Union citizen no one doubts.--
That he was one, even when selEbanish
ment was imposed by the strong arm of
military power upon him, is DO doubt true
Still more is tbs true of his opponent Gen
eral Hobson, who is Democrat, who took
part in the war, and who was supported by
men of the character of Governor Bramlelte
and Senator Guthrie, and others of equal
prominence. Under other circumstances
the majority would, no doubt, have cast
their sufiag> for the latter. The Radicals
will, OF course, cry oct against this cleo
ton, which, however, proves no more than
the fact, that perhaps $4,000 more voters
gave their suffrages for one who was in
suited and outraged during the war, rather
than for one who was more conspicuous
upon the side of the Government.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, of Tuesd ay
says:
The result Of the election in Kentucky,
yesterday, equals, if not surpasses, the
most sanguine expectations. The Demo-
cratic majority in the State will not be
far, in our Judgment, from 100000 From
every quarter we hear of astounding Dem,
ocratic victories. The Democracy have
1000 majority in Kenton county; 300 in
Campbell; which lies opposite this city,
and in which are situated the cities of Gov
ington and Newport, The latter county
the Radicals confidently expected to carry.
The overwhelming Democratic victory
in kentnckyls Is but presage of what will
occur in all the State elections this fall
Everywhere we shall see the most enor-
nous Democratic gains and the most splen-
did Democratic victories. AS in Ken
tucky, the issue will be upon the Presi-
dents policy and the restoration of the
Union"
This election demor strates that every
oLe ofthe nine Congressman from that
State will be Democrats, save possibly one,
(Randall's District.) The Democrats will
gain three, if not four, members.

posed excepting those who have already

to the duration of a Presidential term,
claim and invariable exercise the elective

The people of this city, claiming an in

to their opinion and feelings on this sub

This unparalleled unanimity of senti-

ders an earnest hope that Congress in ac
cording to his expression of their wishes
the respect and consideration they would

Another New Office.

The Rump Congress, before adjourning,
created the office of Steward of IT, Presi-
dental Marsion, with salary of $4,000,
and the privilege of three clerks at five
dollars day. The Steward is, however,
compelled to give bonds, to double the
amount of the value Of the furniture and
government property in the Mansion, for
its safe keeping during the time he occu-
pies that post. The creation of this office
has been rendered necessary, from the fact
that during the time the White House was
occupied by Honest Old Abe" nearly $751;
600 worth of government property was re.
moved from the premises, ,and nobody knows
W here it went. 1t was left (notwithstand-

IHE CHEATS IN THE BOUNTY BILL

bounty of $50 authorized by act of March

teers as had served nine months or less.
provided they re- enlisted for one year in
regiment flom the same State, upon anv

tia; but The section does not apply to this
class because the service is less than two
years. No other class of volunteers or mi
litia were ever entitled or were ever paid
bounty of $50, and consequently not one
cent can be expended under the second
section of the act.

EE' During the war the Radicals pre-
vented the Democratic soldiers from COM
ing home to vote, and yet they claim to be
the especial friends of this class of our pop
ulation. lfthey were in favor of the sol
diers voting, why did they not allow ALL
to exercise the right? Why were Demo
Gratis prevented who had fought gaIlantly
in defence of the flag, and Radicals only
given the opportunity! The truth Is, it
was power and plunder the Radicals want
ed, aud they used the soldiers to accom-
plish their ends. Those who would vote
with them were allowed to exercise the
elective franchise; those who differed from
them were disfranchiscd. In this way the
Radicals favored soldiers yoting.-Phita.

Mercur OH Negro Suffrage.

At the last session Of Congress, on the
eighteenth of January, Ulysses Mercur vo-
ted for the following bill, which passed
the House and went to the Senate. We
quote from MPherson's "AIanual," PIP.
Halo. 1t is entitled a Bill extending
the right of suffrage in the District Of Co
lumbia:"
Be 1t enacted, etc., That from all laws
and parts of laws prescribing the qualtica-
cations of electors for any office in the
District of Columbia the word "white" be,
and the same is hereby, stricken out, and
that from and after the passage of this act
no person shall be disqualified from voting
at any election held in the said District on
account of color.
SGC. 2. That all acts of Congress and all
laws OF the State of Maryland in force in
said district, and all ordinances of the cities
of Washington anI Georgetown, ncon
sistent with this act, are hereby repealed
and annulled.
Mercur stands uuon the records of the
yeas and nays in favor of this odious bill,
which was not passed through the Senate,
because it was ascertained the President
would veto it, and that two-thirds vote
to override the veto could not be Obtained.
The following official communication to
Congress from the Mayor of Washington
will show the outrageous character of the
proposition and the contempt manifested
by its passage through the House for the
interests and opinions of the people of
Washington:

TIE LOUISIANA NEGRO SUFFRAGE Re-
BELLIoN.-The Lieutenant Governor and
Attorney General of Louisiana and the May
or of New Orleans have sent a commupica
ton TO the President detailing the history
the late riot. They show that the object
| Of the Convention in 1864 WAS purely revo-
lutionary, and that the intention was to stir
up the b Acks to lnsurrecton on the plea of
securing imaginary rights, in order to cle-
vate white demagogues to places of power.
BY the inflammatory speeches of its mem
bers at the meetings on the nights Of the
9th and 2Sth the designs of the revolution
lists to overthrow the State authorities were
made clearly manifest. The Convention
tself numbered but twenty nine members.
(out of a whole number of one hundred
and fifty.) and although lacking thirty sew
en- of quorum, the original president, who
did not sympathise with the contemplated
revolt, was disposed and negro suffrage
radical was elected pro tenn. The report
complains that Geo. Baird refused to co,
operate with the civil and municipal au-
thoritics in preventing the meeting of the
Convention or in guarding against a riot,
and that he released the rioters who had
been arrested before an investigation could
be had. 1t charges, also, that the negroes
were armed aud prepared for bloodshed,
and that they commenced the fighting
Twenty seven rioters were killed and
number wounded. Forty two policemen
and a number of citizens were killed or
wounded, Quetness now prevails, show
ing that though the lesson was severe it was
necessary.
