How the Radicals Conduct Elections
in Louisiana.

A correspondent writing from New Or
leans to the Cincinnati Enquirer, gives the
following account of how radicals conduct
elections in Louisiana;
On an average, the negroes vote two OF
three times Last night about 5000 ne
groes, all of whom voted yesterday in the
country, reached the city, and win vote again
to-day, upon afRdaYits furnished at the radi-
cal headquarters. OF course these afidavits
are in no instance actually sworn to.
l wish | had time to give you some de-
tails, showing how utterly depraved and ig-
norant these miserable wretehes are. The
white radicals tell them that they are Off
GERS Of the Grand Army of the Republic
land niggers think that means the United
States Army, and IN that character they
order the poor, ignorant creatures not
simply to vote, but, under such pretended
army orders, they force them to commit
perjury and other crimes, When caught in
these acts of perjury, and PIT under arrest,
they answer:
Now, massa, dat is not right Use or

SAN ANDREAs. Aug. 9th, 1868.
EDITOR CHRoHIcLE:-The day is big with
fate. San Andrcas-the Athens of Calave-
ras, the home of the Register man-is the
theatre of grand events. The millennium OF
Democracy is at hand. The frail fabric of
Republicanism is shaken to its very base
w. L. Hopkins has linked his fortunes with
the saviours of his country; he has declared
for "white mans government" Joy sits
perched on every Democratic ..mug." Such
jubilation has not been known since the first
Bull Run defeat, or the assassination of the
"tyrant Lincoln" Prior to the apostasy of
this youth, brains were quoted at large
discount in "unwashed' circles. The acces-
sion to such of one intelligent honabre is sig
politics. The gifted gentlemen of this pre-
cinct, who preside at whisky mills, and dis
pense second hand inspiration to individuals
whose early education was neglected, will
find their occupation gone. At the hands of
w. L. H. complete regeneration of the De-
mocracy of Calaveras will be effected. In
emulation of his distinguished head. AndyJ.,
he will constitute himself a Moses, to lead
them out of the wilderness. Persons with
hirsute dental appendages are already in his
wake. They say, in Bulwer's words,

The second meeting of the Seymour and
Blair club, of this place, was held at the
Court House. Saturday evening. August 1st.
The attendance was respectable. Every seat
was occupied. One third of the audience
were what my friend Pink" calls .-pubi-
cans" The ball was commenced by that
eminent jurist, William jeff g.. who deliv-
cred harangue quite remarkable for length,
in the peroration of which he was peculiarly
happy. When he spoke of the infiction he
intended for the people of San Diego, in the
removal to that place of himself and the Ar
chimedian lever he welded, there was scarce
ly dry eye in the house.
The new apostle of Democracy then took
the stand. The stage is nearly due, and 1t
regret exceedingly that cannot attempt
even synopsis of his speech. He had lef:
the Republican party, he said. because that
party was too progressive. TIE leaders of
that party would brook no obstacle. They
would ride over the Constitution, if by so
doing they could subserve their own purpos-
es. If this were true it would be too bad,
wouldn't it.
Early In the evening the transparency up
on which was inscribed "Seymour and Blair
Club, took fire and was consumed, Was

ated them.

lurking suspicion that the announcement will
not cause our readers an exuberance of Joy,
and without being egotistical enough to
suppose that we can furnish our patrons

ceiving during our absence, it affords us an
opportunity for making fair promises to

held in Chicago on the Goth of May last and
having assisted in the nomination of Grant
and Colfax, have returned to advocate their
election to the best of our limited ability.
The CHRoNIcLE-so long as we shape its
course-will, in the future as in the past
advocate the principles, uphold the doc
trines and labor for the success of the party
which stood by the Government in the
darkest hour of its need. We contend that
now, more than ever before in the history of
our country-when the enemies of free gov
ernment follied in their attemptS to destroy
our nationality by force of arms, have placed
candidates in the field who advocate a revo-
luton and stand upon platform pledging
repudiation-it is incumbent upon all loyal
citizens to remain steadfast in defense of the
right. We shall endeavor to give our read
ers the local news of the county and labor
assiduously to build up our material inter-
ests. In order to accomplish these ends. We
ask the support of Union men everywhere.
We would like larger audience to talk to
than we have at present. Wherever Grant
clubs are formed, subscribers ought to be
obtained for the CHRONICLE, and if the
friends of the cause would take little in
terest in the matter our circulation would
be extended. We shall do the best we can
to make the paper readable, and-take the

Our CANDIDATE FOR SrPERvIsoR.-There
is no more important Office within the gift
of the people of county than that of Su-
pervisor. To those chosen to fill that posi-
ton is con6ded the entire management and
control of county affairs. The Office is one
which not only requires of the incumbent
honesty and integrity, but the present de-
ranged condition of our financial affairs.
absolutely demand the services of those who
have business talents of high order, firm
ness and sound judgment. The gentleman
placed in nomination BY the Union Repub-
1ican Convention, on Monday last, for the
responsible position of Supervisor of the
First District, composed of townships four
and six, possesses, in an eminent degree. the
necessary qualifications for the Office. Mr..
Prindle has been resident of Mokelumne
Hill ever since it had name, is well known
and universally esteemed throughout the
county, and has the confidence of the entire
community. For long term of years he
has occupied responsible position in the
employment of ihe Mokelumne Hill and
Campo Scco Canal & Mining Company. and
by the prompt, just and business-ike man
ner in which he has administered its affairs,
given perfect satisfaction to his employers
and to the public. Mr.. Prindle is man of
first-rate business capacities, has had consid-
cradle experience as financier. and enjoys
an enviable reputation for uprightness and
integrity. Against his private character.
not single word has ever been lisped. Since
the formation of the Union party in this
State, although he has never taken prom
inent part in politics, Mr.. Prindle has been
an earnest supporter of its doctrines, and
his warmest sympathies are with the organ
ization to-day. He has never before been a
candidate for political preferment. but is
zone of the people," and his interests are
identical with theirs. A better nomination
could not have been made, and the citizens
Of Calaveras can rest assured that if they
eon6de the affairs of the county to his keep
ing, they viii never have occasion to regret
thefr choice. The Unien men of the Fourth
and Sixth townships will certainly elect Mr..
Prindle.
