COL. DEM. .---V0L. XXXIII. ...NO. 81.

ceding the election, he shall be entitled
to vote though he shall not have paid
taxes.
w. As to the voters. /. Any quail
fed citizen of the district has right to
challenge any voter, though his name
be on the registry list, and the election
board are required to receive the proofs
publicly, and to admit or reject the
vote, according to evidence.
=. On the petition of five or more citi-
zens of the county, stating under oath
that they believe that frauds will be
practiced at the election about to be
held in any district, it shall be the duty
Of the court of common pleas, or of a
judge thereof, to appoint two judicious,
sober and intelligent citizens to act as
overseers Of said election, who are to
belong to different parties, except where
both inspectors belong to the same pol
itical party, and then the Oversecrs arc
to be taken from tho opposite political
party, and then the oversccrs are TO
have the right to be present with the
officers of election, to keep list of vo-
tiers, to challenge voters, and generally
to perform tho same duties as inspcc-
tors.
The act is full of penalties and forfeit
urcs; but as these are TO be enforced by
courts OF justice, IL is not necessary to
set them forth for the guidance of assess.
Ors, election officers and voters. A pop
ular election will be worry di tlicult if all
the provisions OF the law be strictly en-
forced. Indeed, it is not easy to see how
election officers are to find time to ro-
coive the ballots of the qualified voters
In some precincts, If they investigate
thoroughly all the issues that may be
brought before them; and when it is
considered that all the elections are
thrown upon the general election, and
that separate tickets are to be voted for
State, county, township and municipal
officers at the same time that judicial
questions are to be Investigated and de-
clded, 1t is apparent that many citizens
will be liable to lose their chance to vote
unless they are vigilant and vote early.
Every man should see for himself that
he is registered, taxed and, If he is a ma
turalized foreigner, that he is provided
with his proper papers. The law will
bear, rs it was desig mated to do, very
heavily on naturalized citizens. 1t Gre
ates all possible distractions to their
exercise of the right of suffrage, and
nothing but vigilance and perseverance
on their parts can secure their rights.

NEWS FROM coIrAx VIA. NEW ORLEANS

We cut the two following articles
from the New Orleans Republican, Civ.
ing very startling and huge news from
Sweet Willie's new shebang. It is to
be hoped that the country is now pei
fectly safe, and out of all danger. Let
us pray!
Some of the turbulent citizens of the
new Parish of Grant are little cripsy,
and two of them, armed with guns,
waited on the Sheriff, Mr.. White, and
informed him that he would not be al
lowed to exercise the functions of that
office. Since then some of the law
abiding people have ordered Mr.. White
to leave the Parish within twenty-four
hours. Objection was made also to
another Parish officer. But we think
the majesty of the law will be vindica-
ted, even If the United States troons
have been withdrawn from Alexandria
and some hot-blooded gentlemen de.
clare that they do not want any Parish
of Grant.

DEATH OF REV. ]. P. BELLIER.


We are panied to announce the deatl
OF Rev. j. P. BELLIER, which occurred
at his residence near the State Semina.
~ on the night of Wednesday, the It'll
inst. in the 56th year OF his age. Fo,
: several months past be had complained
OF his falling health, but no one sus-
pected that his demise was so near at
hand. His death was very sudden
disease of the heart being probably the
immediate cause.
! Father BELLIER was a native If
Brittany, in France, and received a
thorough education in the best literary
institutions in that country. He came
to America about thirty years ago and
| was engaged in different parts of the
country, sometimes as an instructor of
youth and sometimes as the Pastor of
Catholic Church. He was at one
time President of Spring Hill College,
Alabama, and at another of a similar
institution at Vincennes, Indiana, and
Natchitocles, Louisiana. For eighteen
years he was the faithful and devoted
Pastor of the Church of St. Francois
Xavier in this towr, charge which he
relinquished nearly two years ago to
accept his recent position of Chaplain |
and Professor of Modern Languages in
the Louisiana State Seminary.
Father BELL1ER had thus been Iono
identified with the people of the Parish
of Rapides. He was we'll known. to
most OF our inhabitants, with whom his
learning, his freedom from bigotry as a
and his genial social quail
ties made him great favorite. His
death is deeply regretted and his loss
will be universally felt.
His funeral obsequies, took place yes /.
;erday in the Church, the Pastor of the t
Church, and several Priests from a dis q
ance taking part in the solemn j
ceremonies. The officers and stud ents 7
II the Seminary, together with a large O
oncourse of friends and acquaintances, v
we're present to show their respect for t
ne memory of the deceased.
AT the conclusion his mortal remains
'ere deposited beneath the altar at
'hlch he had served SO long and so .
althtully. May he rest in peace. -

MORE RECONSTRUCTION,

just as Congress was preparing t
go home to enjoy a quiet summer
message was received from the Presi
dent earnestly requesting that no adj
iJournment take place until further lc
gislation should be provided for til,
anreconstructed States of Virginia ant
Mississippi. The President saws he is
satisfied that those States are now
ready to cooperate with their sister
States in the restoration of the laws
that is to say, he is convinced that
they have been dragooned into will
lingness to vote the Radical ticket.
The convictions which have found
their way into the thick skull of the
Radical President amount to no more
than that he thinks that certain unfair
means oh the part of the Federal Off
Gals, such as the infamous Sheridan
practised in Louisiana, can get the
Mississippi Constitution adopted after
the people have rejected it, and that
the immense conservative majority in
Virginia can be made powerless to de-
feat the Radical Constitution prepared
by the negroes and carpet-baggers for
that noble old State. The President is
In full harmony with his party in the
belief that reconstruction without ne
gro and Radical supremacy is no re-
construction at all. Georgia was re-
constructed in accordance with the
Radical programme, hut by some un-
foreseen means the Radical party fail
I'd to get the ascendency hence Geor-
,ia is declared unreconstructed and
iisloyal, and the whole matter is open
ID up again so as to give Radical cor
upton and rascality another change.
The votes of Virginia and Mississippi
re wanted for the 18th Amendment
I they can be reconstructed with that I
md secured Gen. Grant will hold that :
hey have been properly reconstructed; G
otherwise then the Radicals will not Q
estate to reconstruct their reconstruc- c
on. So we 60 with our Radical Pres v
lent with Conservative tendencies. Il

to people who have been bereaved Of their

death where they imagine a few dollars can
