A snnnEssPnL TRICK.

Among other special dispatches sent
from this city TO the Northern press, relat-
ing to our late election, was the following
to the Louisville Courier:
The thirty-six negroes arrested for at
tempted fraud in the elections will this
morning be discharged by Recorder Gastinel
on the ground of ignorance of the crimes
committed.
And from this small text the Courier gives
Its readers lSng discourse upon the evils
Of universal suffrage, or as it elegantly
puts 1t, making t;c aegrc the Political
equal of the white man. Such is the
moHal the Copperhead and rebel papers
draw from the transaction, but it is not the
correct and obvious one.
The thirty-six colored men in question,
and many more, were arrested on com.
plants Of rebel partisaas and locked up, not
because they attempted to practice fraud,
but because their votes would count against
the rebel party. They had committed no
Offense, and the charge made against them
could not have been sustained before any
tribunal. But the object of their accusers
was fully accomplished in depriving them
Of their Votes, and they had no other rea-
son for OBTAINING the prisoners in custody.
After suffering them to remain in prison
therefore from Friday to Tuesday, they
were released ia regular course because no
one appeared aninzt them. II would be
highly improper ier Recorder Gastinel or
any other cOmmittins magistrate to release
an offender on the g,quud Of ignorance
Of the nature Of ne crime for
which he was impriaeNed. That
might be a COED plea befos> a iurv
but not before the examining MAGISTRATE
And the discharge Of the men in queaion
was not based upon such a hypothes.
They we're arrested upOn the complaint d
rebel candidates for Office because they
feared tho effect Of their votes. Aud having
fully succeeded Il theif seheme, they failed
70 appear before The recorder on the day
yet for trial ana The prisoners were dis
charged for want Of a prosecutor. There Is

Extract from letter received from Prof. K. A.
Robbins Composer and Author New Method

WRESTHAN, Mass, March nth, 1881.
Mr.. WM. MoOAMMoH:
Dear Sfr-I had intended To have written you some
days before this, with reference to the New Wooden
Kim PiAnoiorte purchased of YOU but this is tn
nFst opportunity since setting it up You know how
well pleased was with the instrument in ali respeots
oy my almost instantly deciding upon it. My wife.
however, was 50 wrapped up in the Piano We pre-.
Viousy bought Of You. that she would mot admit the
possibility Of anything short Of Grand exceeding
its Charming qualities, until the new one was permit
ted to sing it's own praise This did it do for Vbce
evening, taking all captive VINO were permitted the
pleasure of listening to its delightful voice. for such
tits, no piano tone, but a true voice tone.
In truth, the instrument Is, in all those ruspects
which make perfect pianoforts pre-eminently su.

known, and, this you may consider as a compliment
when add that business has been such for year.

THE ErFBCTg OF RADIoAI, RurE

The market value of the bonds of South
Carolina has more than doubled since the
convention met to form the constitution
which the people of the State have just
ratified. At that time they sold for twenty-five
cents on the dollar, and now they are worth
ffty.three cents. If the government which
is about to go int operation shall prove
successful they will soon rise to par. Let
us earnestly hope that such result may not
be long delayed.-Aetg York Sun.
We had occasion some time ago to notice
some of the benefits arising from the recon
struotion Of Tennessee, such as the increase
in the value Of taxable property, notwitb.
standing the loss of some hundreds of mil.
lions in slaves, and the unprecedented appre-
citation in the value and efficiency of the
railroads in the State. We now find South
Carolina affected in the same favorable
manner by reconstruction. Her bonds
have risen to double their former value
merely on the strength of the meeting Of
the constitutional convention. That Louis
lana will form an exception to the great
rule of trade as exemplifed in the cases Of
Tennessee and South Carolina no sensible
man will for moment assert Capitalists
may fer a time take advantage Of the press
ing wants of holders, and keep down the
ruling prices for Louisiana bonds, but be-
fore the first session of the Republican
Legislature has passed into history there
will be manifest Improvement in the
credit Of this State. Truly other interests
than the rights Of man depend upon the
success Of the Republican party.

The New York Herald, after having stout.
II maintained for several weeks that there
would be no impeachment of Andrew
johnson, now regards such an event as in-
evitable. In its issue Of the 23d instant an
attempt is made to sketch the condition Of
political affairs under President Wade,
which do not promise to be so frightful,
even under the Heralds own showing, as
The writer evidently tried TO picture them.

THE ELECTION IN Tells CITY AND PARrsr

The numberless frauds in this city and
parish, the preparation q which has been
demonstrated, plainly indicate that every
lawful means should be taken to contest
the election. The amount of evidence
already accumulated is astounding, md IL
is being continually increased. In some Of
the country parishes, st. Bernard and St..
Martin for instance, the evidences Of fraud
are equally grelt, and it Is hard to see how
the commanding general can avoid ordering
new elections in these localities, and trying
heguILty parties BY military commissions.
