New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1868-04-29

Yesterday morning we reported the cleo
ton of nineteen Republicans to the State
Senate. We add to these two Republican
Senators from Carroll, Madison, and More
house, for the reason that the two latter
parishes have given majority for the Con-
stitution of 1913, and the vote for State and
other officers is about the same relatively.
We also add j. D. Beares, Republican,
for Catahoula and Winn. Carroll is
not heard from, but the result will not
be changed against the Republicans
by the vote of that parish. This secures the
election of twenty-five Republicans of thu
thirty'six members comprising that body
The senatorial vote of East Feliciana parish
is wanting to determine whether F. L
Jewell, Democrat, is elected in the senate
rial district consisting of Pointe Coupee
East and West Feliciana. The vote is prob
ably very close, as Jewell has in the frs
and last of these parishes only 25
majority over Lewis, Republican, anC
East Feliciana is reported to have giveI
majority for the Constitution of 23O
The Republicans are sure of a majority il
the Senate, but we are unable to determine
whether the majority will be eight or more
The Democrats have elected eleven mem
bers of the Senate, including Jewell o
Pointe Coupee, as previously reported. W,
add to these the names OF 7. C. Anderson
and W. Offut for Calcasieu, Lafayette, ant
st. Landry, and add also R. W. Futch, Dem
ocrat, for Jackson and Union. This give
them fourteen of the thirty.six Senators
This number will ultimately be reduced.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Our previous reports have shown the eleC
tion of ffty-four Republicans to the Hous
of Representatives. We add the name @
Henderson Williams, Morehouse parish
two Republicans from Carroll parish
and one from West Baton Rouge
which secures to the Republicans fifty eigh
members of the House known to have beel
elected. The whole number of members
one hundred and one.
We have thus far reported the election c
twenty.siX Democrats to the lover branc
of the Legislature. From further return
we add the following: G. Q. Butler, BieI
vile parish, and two Democrats, names nc
reported, st. Martin parish. This increase
the number of Democrats known to b
elected to the House of Representatives
twenty-nine.
The returns to come in will add to tn
numbers of both parties in the House.

EMIGRATION FROM LoUIsIANA.--The New
Orleans correspondent of the Memphis Aua-
lanete writes as follows:
There is an immense tide OF emigration
going hence to California, A few days ago
twenty-seEen good and substantial citizens
from the Lafonrche country left here
to make their future homes in the
Eld0rado. Daily we hear Of others who
are arranging to go. 1.-THE radical measures
now in process Of incubation are success
fully Matched, there will be an immense
exodus Of these white people, and they will
seek more congeniai homes on she Pacific
slope. The Brazil emigration scheme Is In
bad repute hers. Every sad thing that can
attend misfortune seems to have fastened
itself on the people who have unfortunately
gone to Brazil The social states OF thak
country Is even less attractive than our
present nigger-burdened condition, l@
isolation from all old associations, ana It's
constant turmoil Of war. must prove I'M
passable obstacles to emigration rom this
section. Slavery. the only seductive point
that induced soufherners thither, b only .
neme ia Brazil, for the State e using every
means possible to eradicate the Institution
from the country, and It is q very unpro6t-
ahle ana unreliable kind Of nlayery at best.
Emigrants viii therefore turn their eyes
toward the Facifc.
