10 the Editor Of tie Press:
So many conflicting letters are written
from the South that it is next to i'm
possible for people at the North to form a
correct idea of the real state of things
III this region. Conservative people have
their correspondents here, who either
wholly misrepresent affairs or color their ac-
counts TO suit their readers. The same is
likewise true of writer's of the other party.
Each set Of correspondents has a special OBJ
ject in view, and writes accordingly. What
ever may appear in your correspondents let
ter may be relied on as tue statement OF
facts as they appear to loyal but not parti-
san spectator.
On my way TO this place it was my fortune
to travel from Washington to the end of my
journey with Emerson Etheridge, some Ala
bama rebels, Washington doughiace, who
evidently is trying to ride two horses and
keep on the winning one, and Pennsylvania
Irishman, who, with small stock of know
edge, makes great "spread" and tries TO en-
force on every one the belief that he is a most
sagacious person; he is loud in his assertions
and "never mistakes" From Alexandria to
Lynchburg our ride was in the right, and
sleep claimed precedence over conversation,
but next morning bright and early the "ball
opened" and continued almost without cessa-
ton tor two days.

appearance, easy manners, clear voice, adj

ly interesting document, touching the incep.

its growth from 1850 to the present time, and
giving sketch OF the college life and de

fessor OF mathematics, and H. II. GoOdell

opened on the second day Of October. Tie

four years hence. II new buildings were to
be erected at a cost of $4,000 new class Of
fifty could be formed every year.
In closing their report the trustees speak OF
the amount Of money the students can earn
by working on the farm, and state that by so
working the cost OF four years. course OF
study at the College can be made quite small.
Allllsion is made to tie military teaching in
the College, and it is suggested that the Col
lege might be considered the military school
OF the State. We judge from this elaborate
report that Massachusetts has made good
beginning, and no doubt this institution will
greatly advance the interests OF agriculture
and benefit the people OF the State. 1t is true
and we are glad to record the tact-that
agriculture has received new impulse all
over our country, and much interest is felt in
the subject. When agriculture prospers other

TIE DEPUTY SHERIFF 5.

Further investigation confirms our pre-
vious statements that many who were ap
pointed to act as Deputy Sheriffs during
the election by Sheriff Avery are among
our very worst citizens. Several Of then
were drunk and disorderly. Many were
most active canvassers for the rebel-Demo.
cratic ticket, and did little else except order
the illegal arrest of harmless colored men
Although DR.. Avery was a candidate fol
Sheriff on the Working mems ticket, we
suspect he did not receive many Repub-
lican votes.
We have correctly characterized many
of the deputy sherifs appointed by Dr.
Avery as among our very worst citizens
but it is more pleasant to speak of the good
than the evil in men, and we are very
happy to state that there were some noble
exceptions.
There were some deputy sherifs who did
their duty, and their whole duty, fairly and
impartially, and they are worthy of all re-
spect and honor. But it is equally true
that they were few in number and wholly
unable to counteract the injustice and
wrong openly perpetrated by others. We
expect hereafter to be able to classify
them By name.

THE ELECTION.

The delay in the receipt Of accurate re-
turns of the late election, even from points
quite near, is tantalizing to the Journalist
who desires to present his readers with
early and reliable news, as well as to the
public who are interested in the returns.
Enough is known however of the result OF
the work of Friday and Saturday to con-
vince us that the Constitution has been
adopted by a large majority and the regular
Republican State ticket headed by the
name of H. G. Warmoth elected by a ma
jOrity equally great.
So far as the returns can be analysed
those who voted against the Constitution
voted, as a rule, for Taliaferro; and those
who voted for the Constitution voted fol
Warmoth; and the fact was made patent
that Taliaferro was in no sense a Repub
lican candidate.
The parish of Orleans has probably
gone for the Republican party by several
hundred majority, securing to us the dis
trict judges, sheriffs, clerks, and district
attorney,
The only apprehension we have now for
our cause in the State at large arises
from the dangers of fraud in counting
votes and making returns. The
extraordinary reports in regard to stufing
ballot boxes in st. Bernard with counter
felt tickets resembling the Republican
tickets, but having on them clean Cor
rather unclean) list of Democratic names,
are calculated to cause anxiety. But
unless such frauds are widespread we may
congratulate our readers On the beginning
of new era of freedom and prosperity for
Louisiana in the adoption of the constitu-
ton, and the election Of Warmeth and those
associated with him on the State ticket.
