Caihoun's Prediction,

The Charleston papers repuhlish CAL
houn's prediction of 1896, attaching to
it much significance. 1t is as follows:
The blacks and the profigate whites
that might unite with them, would be-
come the principal recipients of the
Federal offices, and would in conse-
quence he raised above the whites of
the South in the political and social
scale. We would, in a word, change
conditions with them, degradation
greater than has yet fallen to the lot of
4 free and enlightened people, and one
from which we could not escape, should
emancipation take place (Which it GER
tainly will do if not prevented but by
fleeing the homes of ourselves and our
ancestors, and by abandoning our
country to our former slaves, to become
the permanent abode of disorder, an.
archy, poverty, misery and wretched-
ness

Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, April 20.-The count,
ing of votes in this city is not yet com-
pleted, owing to the number of indie,
pendent tickets. The offices are divided
nearly equally. So far as heard from
the Democrats have q small majority
in the city and parish of New Orleans
East and West Baton Rouge gave 900
majority against the Constitution. The
vote is very close and the result can't
probably be determined before tO-mor.
row night.
NEW YORK, April 20.-The Tribune's
Washington dispatch states that Gov
ern OF Hahn telegrapbs from NswOrleans,
last night, that the Republicans voted
solid tor the regular State ticket. In
twrnty-one polls in New Orleans the
majority for the Constitution is 632,
which renders it probable that the Re-
publicans have carried the city. There
is no doubt whatever as to the result in
the State.

murder of MCGEE, is daily becoming
stronger. Since his arrest he has volun-

SiOuS.
Patrick Bulky, door-keeper of the

to act with great vigilance, and inquiry
is pushed in every direction.
From correspondence laid before the
House yesterday in reference to the alb
