Mayor and Aldermen by large MAORI
ty. II is of no use crying over split
milk, but We cannot help regretting that
our friends in Columbia did not nominate
their candidates upon the broad platform
Of the Citizens Party. This would, we
believe, have given them the victory.
AT Camden, on Tuesday, the Citizens
Party candidates were elected, although
the odds against them seemed over

accomplished, in the same way, at Dar-

AN EXCITING sPKCTACI.K.
From the shelbins Missouri Democrat

from tne cueiOlua ulssOurl
The balloon that goes with Della
ven's circus, seems fated to give origin
to startling incidents. TO the list of.
adventures and accidents that have at
tended 1t, we add another thrilling
scene at this place, on the evening Of
the 18th inst. IL was inflated in the
presence of l.5O0 people, the wind
blowing sharply from the east. The
;eronaut took his position in the frail
bark, the rope that held it to the earth
was loosened, and sheering as it
started, q sharp east wind blowing at
the time, it caught second party,
who become entangled In the ropes,
and rapidly assembled with the invol-
untary explorer hanging by the feet.
At the hight Of thirty feet the unwil-
ling traveller succeeded In catching the
horizontal rope near the bottom with
his hands, and thus supported mounted
to hight of 400 feet, and moved rap
idly In a westerly direction. The rapid
cooling and condensation of heated air
and gases that supported it, and the
extra weight of $50 pounds caused it
to descend almost rs fast as 1t went up,
landing the two passengers with a
heavy conclusion on the caves of a
house, from which they fell, bruised,
gashed and fainting, to the ground.
At first they were supposed to be
killed. but prompt medical attention
soon resuscitated them, and their hurts
proved not very serious. The emo
tiops Of the man hanging by his feet
and hands and moving rapidly through
the air, at an elevation of four or five
hundred feet, may be better imagined
than described. 1t was the most thrill
ling scene we ever witnessed, and we
do not care to see the like again.

A MOST unusual occurrence took
place in Paris few days ago. Some
young mother, desiring to keep her
conscience clear of infanticide, and yet
dispose of her child, bethought herself
of most pOetical method of throwing
her offspring OH the mercy Of the
world. Baby was tucked up In little
car and sent up In parachute for the
winds to carry. where they listed.
What goes up must come down, and
the miniature balloon with its precious
freight finally aliShted in the streets
of Paris, with its contents rs fresh, If
not as welcome, as the flowers of May,
The winds had been merciftll to the
infant, and label attached signitied
that 1t had been committed to the care
of Providence. The Empress is said
to have adopted the little waif and
placed it In one Of the charitable insti-
buttons Of Paris.

MRS. HAMLRrs soLILoaUY.

A lady of Richmond, Va, thus dis
cusses, a Ia Hamlet, the question OF
female suffrage:
To vote OF not to vote, that Is the question;
Whether It's nobler TO forego the suffrage,
And bear the arrows Of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against our sex's troubles,
And, BY opposing, end them: To hve-to we'd
No more; and by a marriage say we end
The heartache, only to nurse the little Ills
Women are heir to-'tis consummation
Not for Joseph, II the Court hsrself doth know ;
And that she doth il most indubita5le.
To vote-to act-to act, perchance farce; ay,
There's the rub: for by this act what fights may
come,
That makes calamity Of woman's suffrage:
For who would bear the kicks and cuffs OF men
The oppressor's dsts, our lords eontumely.
Assault and battery, and the laws delay;
The lnsolence Of bummers. and the spurns
That patient women from rough loafcrs take.
When, TO avoid Il, she could stay at home
And use her bodkin. Who would muskets bear,
Or groan or sweat under mechanics life,
Bat for the pleasures Of Emancipation
The rich Golconda. from whose gaping jaws
The nesh pots yswn In tantalizins plenty.
But there's the afterclaps. This puzzles the
will.
And makes us rather bear the ills We have,
Than iy to the horrid inexpressibles.
Thus cowardice makes babies OF US all
And thus your petted suffrage resolutions
Are sicklled over with the pale cast Of fear;
And enterprise Of glorious ballot stfdng
Must fade alas, because our suffering sex
Dare not imbibe the soul-inspiring rye
To give us vim and action.

New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-12-08
DEMOCRATIC TESTIMONY.

Saith the Bee, thirty thousand Conserva-
tive voters remained away from the polls
because they were satisfied the election
was to go against them. Saith the Bulletin,
the people refused to vote because they
had no confidence in the nominees of the
pot-house politicians. Saith the Shreve-
port southeastern, the State was inactive
because the people of the country refused
to support the candidates of demoralized
party. With all this testimony, of the
truth of which no man in his senses can
have reasonable doubt, there are men
foolish enough to vex the public ear with
charges against the honesty of the Repub-
ican majority at the last election. The
Bee is forgetful enough to repeat some
thing about fraud in the same column
with it's assertion that thirty thousand
men abstained from voting. This leads
to the conclusion that there are two classes
of readers for the busy little Bee, one of
which demands the truth, and the other
falsehood We have men in Louisi-
ana, as there are everywhere, who live
upon what is unreal or sensational 1t is
to their interest to know that the people
have departed from the Democracy, be-
cause they are in constant search after
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1870-12-08

the popular favor; and yetf they are told
that this is the truth, although iii the GEN.
trail fact which they are in search Of, they
fall into denial of it, and stick to their
negative until the opportunity for doing
the good they might have done is gone
past recovery. The Bee knows that the
people are dissatisfied with the Democracy,
and it declares this knowledge when it
says that thirty thousand white voters re-
manned away from the polls. 1t also
knows that certain prejudices in this COM
munity insist on charging every Repub-
ican success to rascality, and it proceeds
to be very loud in it's clamor about fraud,
in order to please the groundlings, while
it is pacifying the sensible reader with
real argument about the truth. The wise
are told that the Democracy fails to in
spire confidence; the fools are ticl1led with
the story that nothing but fraud has served
the Republicans. And this mixed dose is
administered in the same article and in
the same column. The Bee gathers pol
len for all manner of prva. 1t evidently
knows the right, but it sees some policy
in trading with the wrong. 1t runs with
the hare and catches with the hounds, for
in no other way can We explain its posi-
ton concerning the late election, when it
afirms that the Democrats lost by their
inactivity and that the Republicans only
succeeded by fraudulent counting.

school BoardS in Conference,

According to notice published in this
paper during the past week, there will be
held general meeting of the various
boards of school directors, in the Senate
chamber of the State House, On Dryades
street, this evening. for the purpose of con
ference.
We hope much good will result from this
meeting, and that very soon we shall see an
end put to all controversy on the school
question. The proceedings of the State
Board of Education will be found breathing
a spirit both of harmony and interest in the
schools and teachers of our city schools.

THE SURRENDER OF ORLEANS.

Paladines is to share the fate Of Ba-
zaine. Having been pursued to Orleans
by the Prussians, he preferred to evacuate
the place with his army rather than sub
ject the city to bombardment. For this
he is charged with treason, and is to be
court-martialed. Suppose he had shut
himself up in Orleans with his army and
the Prussians had concluded to keep him
there, where would have been the sense or
generalship in such course? He is now
free with his army, and the Prussians SIM
ply hold Orleans What harm does that
do to France: Is she not better off with
the large army of Paladines free to act,
either against the besiegers at Paris or
against the column of Vandertan, than if
the army of the Loire was hemmed up
and starving in Orleans? The govern
ment at Tours has not yet found mill
tary head to direct its indignation prop
erly. Orleans is a source of weakness to
the Prussians, while there is consider
able French force in the field ready to cut
it's comm unication with Paris. Pala-
dimes was expected to do too much, and
this wrath against him will have the effect
to make his successor commit some fool
hardy act which will not only lose city
but an army, too.
