Though the Representative elect is classed
asindependent by the Pioagune, from which
the above returns are copied, yet, like Mr.
Beares, the Senator elect, the Representa-
tive, Mr.. Wilson, will be quite likely to vote
for the amendment to the Constitution O
! the United States.

We do not yet know the result in Frank.
lin, st. Helena, or Vermillion parishes. The
Catahoula Representative may be erro-
neously classified. The other Represent
atives are as classed. The Democrats can
not in any event, if they elect the Repre-
sentatives in the other three parishes, go
into the organization of the House with
more than forty.two members, while the
Republicans will have seventeen more than
that number.

GEN. Grant and Temperance.

i The following is from the New York
Sun. MIR. Dana, the editor, was with
General Grant in the field nearly two
years, and knows whereof he writes: l
] General Grant has been accused of in
temperance. The Copperheads fight him
with talk about his alleged bad habit,
just as the rebels fought him with powder
and ball in war; but the case is set right
in little speech which the Hon. w. E.
Dodge made on Thursday evening. Mr..
Dodge said that he had just been in Wash
ington, and had 8 long interview with
General Grant, and, continued he, left
him with the conviction that neither we
nor the friends of temperance have any
cause for anxiety in this respect Mr..
Dodge is President of the National Tenn
perance Society, and no one can be more
hostile o,everything approaching intem-
perate habits in a public man. The truth
is, that the practice of General Grant is
total abstinence. In camp he-almost
alone, among all the prominent officers of
the army--never tolerated liquor or wine
either at. his table or about his tent.
Fatiguing marches and the excitement and
exhaustion of battles did not make him
break over his rule, not to touch or taste
anything alcoholic. Again and again we
have seen wine offered him at public and
private dinners, only to be steadily refused
We are assured that now, in time of peace,
and in the society Of Washington, he still
maintains the same custom. HIS enemies
must invent some other story. The peo
pie will never believe that General Grant
is drunksrd and il, from not personally
knowing Grant, they are not sure of the
fact, they will answer as President Lin
coin, did; Let me know the kind of
whisky Grant drinks, and / will send a
barrel to every one Of our Generals"
