Protecting. the Voters.

The following, from a private letter adj
dressed to w. Jasper Blackburn, Of Clai-
borne parish, by leading man of an adoin-
ing parish, contains some thoughts for re-
Election. We give only extracts of this let
ter:
The time has come when every man who
has his country's welfare at heart should
range himself under the banner of truth :
and at the same time it Is requisite that if a
man has the moral courage to stand I'D soIi-
tary and alone for principles against a thou
sand anniversaries, his political allies should
sustain him by their moral supper,
1 am opposed to official corruption and
desire the government, State and Federal.
to pc administered upon pure and elevated
principles. Extremists OF all compilations
are my detestation, because their principles
and course are destructive of free represen-
tative government and republican institu-
tons; therefore when you class me with
that political organization which has
brought down upon the country. by its cor
ruption, the vengeance of heaven. and which
veil-nigh achieved the disintegration of the
Union, Il few years ago, you do me- doubtless,
an unintentional injustice. l am, at heart,
conservative supporter of that party which
would carry out the grand progressive
, principles Of the nineteenth century, with
cut taking a step backward and if, hereto
fore, have not identified myself with that,
il has been because the party OF my choice
has not been adequate to sustain its de-
voices in my section; or at least, that it has
not'done SO. In the election for Grant, the
RepuDhcaa party cast scarcely a single vote
I'D my Locality; yet there were many men
here who would have voted that ticket, if
ca y had been protected BIZ the power of
lne government in the exercise of the cleo
t.ye franchise
Mr.. Blackburn, you are now the repre-
sentative man OF the Party of Progress in
North Louisiana. VIII YOU extend your in.
fiuence IN the proper direction to sustain
your friends and to give them a chance TO
declare their sentiments and to vote tbom
without fear of social and political ostrac;s,n9
tel you, sir, it is worth a mans means Of
sustenance here and his life too. to sneal,
avowedly his sentiments-if these senti-
ments lead not i'll certain direction. Your
party must sustain its adheTelAs, or it goes
under; and you are astlte enough to pei
ceiye that the time is at hand when the Re
spubIican party will need every man at his
post.
These reflections are offered that you may
now know for the first time my avOwed sen
timents--those of my heart: and l trust that
fhe party will sustain those in the future in
this section, who, if aided, would stand up
aud battle for the cause

IMPORTANT DEcIsION.-On Monday
morning Judge Copant pronounced
the decision of the Court in the case
of Alexander I'll. Wilcox VS.. Tunis T.
Hendricks, ct ais. This is the most
important case tried at this term, in
yoiving the title. to real estate valued
at about twelve thousand dollars
His Honor held that the testimony
showed thatthe patent right decided
by Hendricks to Wilcox was value
less, and that the deed from Wilcox
to Kendrick was therefore with
out consideration, and was pro-
cured byfaIse aHd fraudulent repre-
sentations, and was Void that thu
conveyance from Kendrick to Thomp
son was made withs the knowledge o
! the latter of the manner in which tn
grantor obtained title, and mad
to cover up the fraudulent title 0
Kendrick, and not as bona .17de pur
chaser without notice. Tho Cour
therefore decided that the two deed
that from Wilcox to Kendrick, an
;, the one from Kendrick to Thompson
, be set aside, at the costs of the defend
ants, and that defendant Thompso
recover of plaintiff the amount pal
by him on the mortgage upon th
premises, and for taxes.
The testimony was reviewed by h
Honors at considerable length, and j
] o very clear and concise manner. tt
| decision seemed TO meet the hearty al
, pgevai of the members of the bar |
well as all others yho ligtened to I'll
J trial, and also Of the entire eqmml
nifty.
