MAJOR GENERAL BUCHANAN.

We differ with the accomplished officer
who commands the Fifth Military District
on questions Of public policy-at least if the
political sentiments attributed to him by
the Democratic press are those which he
really entertains. But we have never be-
ieved that he had any other motive in the
conduct of affairs than to do what he
thought to be honest and impartial. Our
friends would fall in error if they should
charge him personally with the many acts of
fraud and injustice which occurred at the
election just passed. Thrust be remembered
that he came suddenly to command but q
few days since, that he is but temporarily ia
command, and can not, according to mill
tary etiquette, change the standing orders
at headquarters and that the blame must
rest mainly on the Commissioners Of Elec-
ton, most of whom we're appointed by
General Hancock before his departure. OF
course part Of the Commissioners dis
charged their duties fairly and impartially;
and it is equally matter of course that
those who were concerned in the gigantic
frauds which have been perpetrated will
hereafter be held to stern accountability
before the law.

We have received copy of the protest Of
the Board Of Control of the Louisiana pen
itentiary against the accent action of
Governor Baker relieving them and direct
ing the affairs Of the institution to be turned
over to lessees. The Board of Control claim
ts hold their Office and exercise their duties
BY virtue Of the act of the legislature ap-
proved December %, 1868. The only author.
1ty the lessees appear to have is an approval
By General Hancock Of the terms of the
lease. But there are alleged informalities
In this approval. II is noticeable that
among the first things done by the new ap.
pointees was to remove all Republicans
from duty. There is reason TO believe that
political predictions have had as much to
Do with this matter as desire to promote
the interests of the State.

OANDIpATBs FoR aoYRRnoR..

Our Republican friends are somewhat
amused to learn that Governor Joshua
Baker has pclled a very respectable Dem
oeraHc vote for the once Of Governor in
several Of our country parishes. Had the
election been Presidential enc, ii Is quite
possible that General jackson world have
received in Louisiana tie compliment stiIl
usually given to him in some parts Of
Pebnsyivania. We have somewhat over
estimated the skill and energy Of eur old
friend Governor Wells, fer week ago We
learned that il several parishes The unier-
riaed had only the tickets fist prinssd ~
the Democratic committee, and that they
Intended to vote that ticket, and none Other,
tAmleas sothers were cent 10 thems.bsr

THR REPUBLIoAN WORE,

The Republican vote In this city and
parish has been cast solidly s'for ths Con.
ssitusienn end the regular Republlcau
ticket Probably not aAy, certainly not
enc hundred oolored votes, or votes Of
shoAe claimlng % be Republicans, have
heea cast for any ether ticket. Our retifns,
50 lArias received irons he country par
lshas lndieAte TIE shms resclh. Il will
probably be found when tha complete re-
Turns ars received that the v6le fpt TIE
Constitution and for Il. g. warm6th ior
Governor are very nearly the same, and
that the vote against the Constitution"
and for J. G. TalIaierso for Governor will
be almost exae.ly alike.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-04-21

Thanks to the patient endurance of out
rage and wrong by the Republicans Of
this city, the late election has been one of
the most peaceable known in New Or
leans. In the country parishes where the
rebel element is in the ascendant it is for
their interest to prevent rioting and thus
avoid the danger of having the ballots of
their localities thrown out in the general
count, and where the Republicans are in
the ascendant their fears will be likely to
restrain them FROM general riOting there
fore there are good grounds for hoping that
the election has been comparatively peace
able throughout the state. This has been
the case in the parishes from which we
have heard, although, Of course, there has
been no end to the attempts ct intimida-
ton, and, Judging by the election in this
city, no end to the frauds which have been
Committed.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-04-21
nnLnRRn VOTERS.

The good conduct of the Republicans
during the election may well be source Of
great qualification. Especially may this be
said of our colored voters Their patience
under insult, their selEcontrol under out
RACES, their quiet.enduranee of injustice in
fieted under the forms of law, have won
for them the highest commendation from
all fair-minded intelligent men. They have
also as class exhibited intelligence and
Judgment. Friday night forged tickets with
the Ivignette and border almost precisely
like those Of the regular Republican ticket
were gotten up by the rebel Democracy at
considerable expense, and were freely cir
culated on Saturday, but Notwithstanding
Deputy Sheriffs and Policemen at most of
the polls assured the colored voters that
they were the genuine Republican ticket,
not twenty of them were voted by coIored
men in the whole city.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-04-21

In this city, and doubtless throughout the
State, large numbers of ballots we're cast
with only the surname of some of the can
didates upon them as for instance,
"Jones," "Smith," aTaliaferro," ETC., etc.
Now, as there are several gentlemen bear
ing these names in New Orleans and Lou
isiana, some confusion might arise had not
custom and law long since settled the mat
ter. The commissioners of elections must
report the ballots precisely as cast. The
votes cast for ''Mann" must be so reported
and counted, and not counted with the
votes cast for "James Manu. and the votes
cast for "Taliaferron must be so reported
and counted, and not counted with the
votes for u. G. Taiiaferro.;' About the
propriety and legality of this course there
is no question whatever, nor that the other
course would be plainly improper and IL
legal.

ELECTION RETURNS.

We request our friends throughout the
country to send US the result of the elections
in their precincts and parishes at the earliest
possible moment. record should be and
probably will be kept by the supervisors of
the election of every man who votes
throughout the state, and Immediately after
the closeof the polls on Saturday night we
trust that our friends will send us the result,
as nearly as it can be obtained, by mail, or
telegraph, or by messengers.

the entire business community in the enterprise.

which the lines pass.
