Will the State officers resign after the de-
monstration afforded by the vote of Tuesday
last that they not only misrepresent the
people Of the State, but that their pretend
ed government is regarded as a usurpa-
ton and fraud? How can they justify
themselves If they persist in occupying po-
sisiors which they gained only by the aid of
fraud and force, and by the votes of a party
which does not even dare to face the public
opinion OF Louisiana at the polls? Let us
suggest to these people that if they would
save themselves from the thorough contempt
OF all decent men, they will get out of the
way as soon as possible, and permit the people
of Louisiana TO choose their own agents.

Last evening at the st. Charles Hotel was
held meeting Of number of our merchants
and other citizens. to discuss the best meas
ures to be taken to obtain the means neces-
sary for the building of one or more steamers
on the plan offered by Capt. DeHaven. The
result was a request to the stockholders and
friends of the Mississippi Valley Navigation
Company to assemble tonight in Parlor P, of
the st. Charles Hotel. We advise a full and
prompt attendance; no measure that may at all
increase our commerce should be now neg
lected. Our business men and capitalists
must wake up to the fact that it is eight years
since the haicyon ante bell,an days; that affairs
are wonderfully changed in that time; that
we have now many competitors, struggling to
get her trade away from New Orleans, and
that no opportunity of increasing our COM
mercial facilities should be allowed to slip by
unimproved. So we urge upon not only gen..
flemen interested in the Mississippi Valley
Navigation Company. but every man who has
the welfare of the city at heart to be present
for be may learn something that he would
have, been sorry to have missed.

Does the Republican deny that the people

Does the Republican deny that the people
of seven States are partially or totally dis
franchised? Does it deny that they are dis
franchised expressly to secure the votes of
some of those States for Grant, and to pre-
vent the others from casting their votes for
Seymour? Does it deny that under the ope-
ration of this Acknowledgement the votes of
Missouri, West Virginia, Tennessee and
Florida have been given to Grant? If such
is the case it matters little whether or not, in
the end, these votes were needed to secure
Grants election-the crime is not the less
the fraud is not diminished. 1t would be
just as sensible and just as moral to hold
thief guiltless because the day after commit
ting larceny he might receive a legacy
making it useless for him to steal The Rad
icals stole those votes, no matter how many
more they may get by fair means.

A Talk from Grants Father.
MINERAL Po1Nr, May 1865.

l.
On last evenings train General Grants
father arrived in this city, and when it was
known, sand such things are generally known
in very short time," the leading Radicals
Of the city came in AID were introduced to
him, and they were making great fuss over
him. at last the conversation turned upon
politics, and General Grants father said that
there never was such nomination made as
the Radicals have made in nominating my son
as President; and Colfax is a very good man
for the position of Vice President. He said
he was glad that Ben Wade was not put in as
Vice, for he had not o bit of sense, and talk
ed too much, and would have been the means
Of the Radical ticket losing at least hundred
thousand votes in Ohio-don't believe in
letting negroes vote !; says it is too much like
trying to make them equal to the whites, and
said the only reason he thought they ought
to have been freed for, was financially and
politically, not because they were not in their
place, for be thought the only place they
were fit were slaves for they are not able
to take care of themselves, and he told y story
TO illustrate the fact Said the only way they
would work, and the only way to treat them,
was by using the whip freely. He thinks
the people will be ashamed of giving the
negro his freedom. He says General Palmer
made a fool Of himself at the Convention in
his speech He don't think much of Palmer
OF the platform. Hesaid lie advised them to
leave the niger out of the platform, for he
told them if they did not they would be beat
aud said one of the most disgusting things
he ever witnessed was the niger delegates
ut the Convention at Chicago. If he had his
way lie would have kicked them out. He
said neyer-no, neyer-would he be willing
for niggers to vote. He thinks the more they
are educated the worse it is for them, and says
he don't believe in educating them He
don't believe in them voting in the South or
any place else They had no civil rights at
all this country was made to be ruled by
white men and not niggers thinks the Freed
mems Bureau the greatest swindler the
country ever saw. He said he had seen the
time when he had nothing to eat, the United
Stistes did not feed him, but he had to work
o, starve. And as long as they indulge the
niger in idIeness the longer they would have
to. And said if he had ten cents, and it
would educate Niger, he would throw it
in the fire before they should have it. Gays
he thinks it will beat the General, and will
be glad if he is defeated - Cor. Ciacinnuti

The New York Tribune Of Thursday says:
"The case CT Mrs Madelaide E. A Pollard
against Mrs. Grotty, the keeper Of board
ing house No 81 Cranberry street, and her
daughter, Miss Grotty, who arc accused Of
having committed an assault and battery on
complainant was called up before Justice
Cornwel yesterday morning. Mr. Il. \.
Pollard, who was present, took occasion to
deny the correctness Of some Of the assertions
made by Mrs. Pollard the day previous, and
said that after their separation he had made
ample provision for her support. Mrs Pol
lard answered by emphatically denying her
husbands testimony. The defendants in the
case not being in court, the examination
was, on motion Of Mr.. b. L. Morehouse, their
counsel, postponed until this morning at II
o'clock. Subsequently, Mr. Pollard was ar
rested by New York officer on warrant

animation will take place in that city"
Mr. Pollard has published in the New Y ork
papers card denying the alleged statement
Of Mrs Pollard that ''she has been married
to her husband about three years, but soon
after discovered that he had another wife,
upon which she left him"
He also says: st is particularly hard to

4 TRAGEDy.-We understand that on last
Wednesday morning a tragical affair occurred
in the western part OF this county. The par
ties in the affair were Mr.. Geo. Clowser, a cit
izen of the county, residing in Petticoat Gap
and a man named Seacrist, a native of Geor-
gia, but who has been living here for some
time. 1t appears that Seacrist was suspected
OF having improper intimacy with Clowser's
wife, and on Wednesday morning, Clowser
pretended to start for Winchester, but, upon
returning, found Seacrist and his wife together
in the woods. Being exasperated he fired
on Scacrist the shot taking effect, he fred Il
second shot, which killed him. He was then
about to kill the guilty woman, but she, throw
ing her arms about his neck, begged him to
spare her life for the sake of her children
lie could not overcome this appeal. On We'd
nesday Mr.. ClOwser came to Winchester, and
surrendered himself to the proper authorities,
and isnow confined in Jail Winchester Netcs.
