NO MISTAKE.

On Saturday last Mr.. Commissioner Shan
non, in pursuance of his custom of meddling
in matters which do not concern him, issued
wnts of arrest for several commissioners of
election, on the affidavit Of some disappointed
carpet-baggers. The commissioners were ap-
pretended by United States officer and hur-
ried to the Parish Prison, where they were in
carcerated. The facts were Immediately laid
before the commanding general and an order
was at once given for the release of the COM
missioners. This order was based on an ac-
curate knowledge of the election laws, and of
the acts of Congress under which this cleo
ton was conducted.
The commissioners of election were gov
erned in their course by the ordinary laws
regulating elections, modified by the orders
of the commanding general. That officer is
invested with full powers, and those powers
were delegated by him to the registrars and
commissioners, to be exercised by them in
accordance with the general law of the State
and the special orders issued with reference
to this election. No other officer has any
right Of interference. There is no law of the
United States governing State elections, ex-
cept the reconstruction acts, and these are ad-
ministered exclusively by the military author
tiles. So far from having any power under
those laws, Mr.. Commissioner Shannon dis
tinctly violated them by attempting to inter-
fere. Section 10 of the last act says:
That no district commander or member of the
boards Of registration, or any of the officers or
sppOintees acting under them, shall be bound In
bis action by any opinion of any civil officer of
the United States.
1t is thus perfectly clear that by interfering
with the commissioners, and attempting to
control those officers in their course, Mr.
Commissioner Shannon not only exceeded
his powers, but rendered himself liable to ar
rest and punishment by the military authori-
ties, and to an action for damages on the part
of the commissioners whom he caused to be
arrested. General Buchanan acted very leni-
emily in simply resembling his action, and di-
recting him to refrain from further interfer-
ence.
1t is, also, plain that Mr.. Commissioner Shan
non had no right to interfere on the part of the
State. Indeed under the State laws, COM
missioners of election partake of the charac-
ter of judicial officers. Their powers are
plenary, and they are responsible, in damages,
for an abuse of those powers affecting the
rights of the voter. Nobody but a "trooly
loil conspirator would dream of the absur-
dity of arresting them on a charge of violat-
ing their duty, when such violation consisted
simply in deciding on the qualifications of
persons Offering to vote-a function which is
necessary to the character of a judge of cleo
ton. There is no excuse for the conduct of
Mr.. Commissioner Shannon. 1t was an auda-
cious usurpation of power, and a direct in
suit to the military authorities.

The MAGNOLIA HAMs.-The preparation OF
hams for the table by curing them with a union
of sugar and salt has been for some years a very
profitable business in the West. These hams
have been long acknowledged as superior to the
celebrated Nestphalia, so noted among the
gouTmets Of England and France. and such has
been their excellence, they have superseded,
wherever introduced, all others. The ham which
we name above is generally allowed by good
judges TO be the best of all put up in America
that is TO say, in the world. Messrs. Shropshire
4 Hathorn, at No. Ito Poydras street, advertise
this morning, in another column. a large lot Of
these delicious articles of family consumption,
together with general stock of groceries, fancy
and staple. See their advertisement, and all who
desire something really appetiZing should go and
get one of the hams OF which we have spoken.

Thurlow Weed makes an important announce
ment in the Commercial Advertiser, to the effect
that no considerations whatever could induce Mr..
Seward to remain in Office q single day after
President johnson Is removed, il removed he is to
be, by the High Court. The importance of the
statement consists in the certainty that when
Seward goes, all his custom house. post Office and
internal revenue appointees will have to go too.
As Mr.. Weed has himself been instrumental in
procuring the appointment Of nine-tenths of
these, the REIMBURSEMENT of power by the secre.
tary of state seems like a notification to him that
his influence is at an end.

The Two DROMos SHERMAN.-I was a good
deal amused to see John Sherman come in and
salute bis brother, the general. JOho gded to his
seat, aud proceeded 10 figure up, read cOrrespon.
dence, and prepare himself for the clerical work
OF the day. The general, meanwhile. was talking
fast and disconnectedy. In his "crszyn way, with
Infinite gestures. Both the Shermans are careless
men. General Sherman has a brain larger than
Johns, and he is apparently ten years older. He
looks like the big brother who has been off TO
the wars returned TO find his little brother thrifty
and economical. The little brother seems to be
very proud OF the big one, and not bit troubled
TO lind that the people pay the latter more adula-
ton. Johnny Is aware that the addition-stck is
not as mighty as the sword, though on the occa-
sion of the Stanton imbrOglio he came up promptly
with his pen and wrote guarded financial article
exonerating the general.
One can scarcely see the superior manhood Of
Gen. sherman in ITS full advantage till he catches
John and William together, as saw them to-day.
John Sherman is far looking man alone, a little
"csnny" in his expression but full of inches and
anxiety and public devotion. Beside his brother,
his forehead degenerates, the lines of thrift show
too deeply in his face; luster in his eye gets TO be
mere twinkle. The generals head is ike bal
loon; one Tecumseh-like tuft OF hair sticks out at
the back Of his head; his blue. gray ewes are all
scintillant with suggestions that come trooping
by quick and thick. Decision holds his lips to.
gether, till his broad fssure Of a mouth seems to
be the line between two vacuated hemspheres.
Taking quickly, unguardedly, absolutely, you are
apt 10 mistake the power Of the man till. on oc-
casion you see him settle down from his flights of
genius TO reason gravely and ponderously as
Adam Smith, hero in common sense as he is
miracle in genius. sherman's relations with John-
son are as pleasant to-day as they ever were.

THE FRAUDS OF THE cARPET-BAGGERs.

In spite of the Infamous, unblushing and
unparalleled frauds committed by the vagrant
and mendicant carpet-baggers, the Demo
Gratis have carried their whole city ticket,
and, probably, their parish ticket, likewise,
by handsome majority.
The atrocious attempt of the d" trooly loil ="
mendicants to sink the white people of New
Orleans beneath food of fraudulent negro
votes was, fortunately, unsuccessful Never
theless this community will long remember
the brazen impudence with which these crea-
lures endeayored to consummate their villain
Gus programme. Such sights, we venture to
say, have never before been seen in any civil
lied country. Hordes of deluded, ignorant
negroes, imported on Friday from the con-
tiguous parishes, were marched up to the
polls the next day and voted on affidavits
which had been prepared in advance, and
which were furnished without scruple and
without question by the facile instruments of
this villainy.
There is not a fraudulent expedient or de-
vice that was not used by the radical conspir-
ators. Double and triple voting, false papers.
counterfeit papers, false afidavits, and an
enormous colonization, especially in the third
and seventh wards, were some of the articles
to which the carpet-baggers resorted.
The impudence with which these things
were done is only equaled by the effrontery of
the enraged radicals in charging fraud on the
Democratic party. We do not make these
statements at random. Hundreds Of persons
looked on, with modification and disgust, at
the crowds of plantation negroes, who were
marched up to the polls by their "trooly loil"
leaders, all armed with fraudulent ballots to
be thrust into the faces of vainly protesting
commissioners. An effort was made to check
this fagitious and shameless fraud; and, hap
PLY, with some success. Had the radicals
consummated their plans they would have
overwhelmed the white majority beneath a
deluge'o black ballots imported within the
previous twenty-four hours. As this coloni-
zation of negroes from the rural districts was
effected principally on Saturday, it is prob
able, indeed, almost certain, that the same
negroes had voted the previous day in the
country.
We repeat that so gigantic, open and sys-
tematic an attempt to def-aud an acknowl-
edged majority of their rights, was never
before witnessed in this city, The famous
Plaquemines frauds of 1914, and the Know
Nothing ballot-box stufing of 1866 wete mere
infantile efforts in comparison with the ma
tured villainy of the New Orleans carpet
baggers at the election of last week. The
"trooly loil radicals may rest assured that
the success achieved by the Democrats will
not lessen their determination to expose the
swindle by which an attempt was made to
cheat the people of this city of their rights
and impose on the clear Judgment of the COM
manding general.

To OWNERS OF FINE HoRsEs.-We direct the
attention of the proprietors of fine stock to the
advertisements Of DR.. Mcdonnell, veterinary sur.
geon. late Of Chicago, and 80 well known all over
the West agentleman of real science in his pro-
fession. DR.. Med. has lately located himself at
the Elliott stables, where he has made full pre-
parstions for the treatment of all diseases to
which the horse il LIABLE and such is his skill that
we are much mistaken il city in the Union can
boast his equal. We have seen several operations
performed by DR.. Mcdonnell, and are constrained
10 say that we have never seen better surgical
operations performed, even upon men. DIR. Med.

THE ELEcTIoN.-Mr. Conway is elected
mayor by about 1000 majority, and probably
the whole Democratic city ticket. The Demo
cratic parish ticket has an average majority
of about 500. The Democrats elect six sena-
tors, and the carpet baggers two. The Dem
ocrats elect certainly six aldermen to three,
and probably seven to two, and eleven assis-
tant aldermen to four. Altogether the VIC
tory in this city and parish is decisive and

From the L,nchburr Yirrlnian l

We are inexpressibly panied to hear of the
death Of our friend and former associate, Wm.
NJ. Semple, Esq, of the New Orleans
CRESCENT. The sad event occurred yesterday,
and is reported by telegraph. We have time but
to express our heartfelt sorrow at this sad event
and pay hurried tIibute TO his worth. No better
man ever lived. In all the high impulses OF noble
manhood he was preeminent. He was the soul
OF honor, and scOrned a small or mean act, with
unutierable scorn. To these gifts was added a
strong and vigorous intellect which enabled him
to win high place among the newspaper writer's
Of the day. He was a true Virginian in every
sense. In the hearts Of many devoted friends his
memory will live in perpetual freshness.
