Significant Republican Defeat.

The defeat of Sayles J. Bowen,
the present incumbent, for Mayor
of Washington City, is a victory
of uncommon significance. It is
equal, in effect, with the Radicals,
to the loss of a whole State. In
fact, it may be doubted if the Rad
icals would use the same energy
to carry Louisiana as was put
| forth to carry the Federal Capital.
or were so mortified at their de-
feat in this State in 1868 as they
are by their defeat in Washing
ton a few days ago.
Bowen is a simon-pure Repub-
lican, and was the regular nomi-
nee of his party and the champion
of a powerful ring. A portion Of
the Republican party bolted the
nominating convention, and Sc
lected, as their candidate, the
present chief of police of Wash
ington, Maj. A. G. Richards, a
very popular man. Richards, how
ever, declined to run. Matthew G..
Emery, who had been spoken of
as the Democratic candidate, was
then. selected and consented to
run. The Chronicle (administra-
ton organ) thereupon commenced
assailing Mr.. Emery as the rebels
candidate, and all the leading
colored men who either lived in
Washington or were temporarily
there-such men, for instance, as
Revels, Downing, Martin and 9TH
ers, all negroes-espoused the
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1870-06-18

claims of Bowen and denied the
orthodoxy of Emery. The Ohron-
icle declared that the rebels were
rallying around Emery, as his
conservative disposition never
led him to assail their conduct or
denounce their principles" and
the same paper predicted Bowen's
triumphant election" The Adj
ministration, with it's horde of de-
partment clerks, and the city
governme nt with it's influence,
backed Bowen. Nearly all the
prominent Radicals in both houses
of Congress took sides openly
with Bowen, several of them maxi
ing speeches or writing letters in
his favor. Every appliance known
to political warfare was used to
reflect Bowen. We witnessed
these efforts and they were I'M
doubtedly powerful.
But Bowen and his supporters
we're doomed. They were to be
beheaded under the very nose of
President Grant and despite the
aid and sympathy Of the great
men in Congress. At the very
sanctuary of Radicalism the vic
Tins of the peoples pious wrath
were to be sacrificed, to wipe out
the sins Of a corrupt party. Those
who know that party's record best
have now spoken, and sentence of
death has been, passed upon the
Republican party. Emery was
elected by over three thousand
majority, and by the votes of
whites and blacks combined
Thus, accoring to the Chronicle,
the 'rebels'' have captured Wash
ington and the noble work Of hon
est reform has set in at the very
heart Of the government. For
this we are indebted to the ex-
IRENE men Of the Republican par
ty. AS in Washington SO. will it

Letter from Jackson--Vernon, Crops,
Politics, &c.
JACKSON PARISH, June 9, 70.

JACKSON PARISH, June >, 10.
ED. TELEGRAPH:- The rain,
which has been falling since the
early dawn, keeps me in doors,
and / know not how, better to
employ myself, than in dropping
you a line. I am for the first time
visiting Vernon, the Capital OF
Jackson, and allow me to remark,
incidentally, that I have met here
a number of very pleasant peo-
pie. My home has been with Mrs.
Johnson, who keeps a most excel
lent house of entertainment Il
table supplied with the best of
fare, gotten up in the best of
style-and then we have the best
of the .fair besides. Here I met
Maj. Hamlet, a scholarly lawyer,
with whom it is pleasant to talk
history. poetry. politics, and all
matters of general interest. You
rarely meet a gentleman so thor
oughly posted on all subjects, and
his sswinsome ladye' entertains
us with delightful music on q
splendid new Chickering Piano.
She is fine performer, and her
s'voice is soft and tuneful as the
bluebird's on the tree.''
Of the country I may say that
the seasons have been most pro-
pitious, and though the spring
was unusually backward, the
prospect for an abundant crop
is most tlattering. Through
out Claiborne, Union, Jackson,
and Bienville, the stands of corn
and cotton havenever been better.
The crop Of wheat has been har-
vested and is first rate both as to
quality and quantity.
In political matters, the people
are quiet. In all the parishes
west of the Ouachita river the
people are united in their deter
mination to support you as the
candidate for reelection to Con-
gress. There are, perhaps, sew
efal worthy young gentlemen
east and west of the Ouachita,
who desire, most anxiously, Con-
gressional honors, but they should
stand aside. The sentiments eX-
pressed in the resolutions adopted
at a public meeting held at Yer
non, recently, and which have
been published, are the senti-
ments of the people throughout
the district. / have yet to find
one single man, who is not the
warm and earnest advocate of the
of Capt. McCranie.
Better be m,-represented than

nis-represented, say they. Better,
bv far, have no member Of Con-
gress, than a "carpet-bagger," or
a Hmilk-and CIDER Conservative,
who is "all things to all men,"
and something more than "alI
things to the Radicals.
Very truly, yours, in an uncom-
promising warfare against the

The Slaughter-House Monopoly.

This is a monopoly granted, by
thelegislature to few individuals
of New Orleans, and has for it's OBJ
ject and purpose the exclusive
control of slaughtering all ami
mails intended for food within GER
tain limits around New Orleans,
and also the exclusive right to
keep a stock-landing in the same
city. The Butchers Association
represents the opposition to this
monopoly, being composed of the
regular butchers of the city. This
association recently applied to
Justice Bradley, of the U. S. SUI
prone Court, for an injunction
against the monopoly, alleging
that it's charter violated the pro-
visions of the fourteenth amend
ment and the civil rights bill.
+ The fourteenth amendment pro-
vides that s'no State shall make
OR enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immuni-
ties of citizens Of the United
States" The civil rights bill is the
result of Legislative power based
upon the amendment itself.
The opinion of Justice Bradley,
on the point directly at issue,
namely, tho issuance of the in
junction, is adverse to the butch
ers. He says: 'sThe third section
of the act of 1893 declares that no
writ of injunction shall be
granted to stay proceedings in
any court of a State" and there
fore the injunction is refused. He
says that the remedy of the butch
ers is by writ of error, after final
Judgment in the State Courts, to
the Z. s. Supreme Court, the eff
feet of which is that the proceed
ings sought to be enjoined must
pass tojudgment before the butch
ers can invoke the aid of the fed
under the fourteenth amendment.
Justice Bradley, however, took
occasion topass upon the merits of
the Slaughter-house bill in terms
of censure of no uncertain i'm
port. He says it is law "of a
remarkable character" $50 far as
the act of the Legislature Of LOU
isiana is a police regulation"
says the Justice, est is, Of course,
entirely within it's power to enact
it. 1t is claimed to be nothing
more. But this pretence is too
bald for a moments considera-
ton. 1t certainly does confer on
the defendant corporation a mo-
of very odious. charac-
ter"

be celebrated, it is understood, by
an excursion over the road.
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1870-06-18
Justice Bradley further says

The more we have reflected on
the subject the more we are salts
fed that the fourteenth amend
ment of the constitution was
intended to protect the citizens OF
the United States in some funda-
mental privileges and immunities
of an absolute and not merely OF
q relative character. And 1T
seems to lis that it would be diff
cult to conceive Of 4 more ta-
grant case of violation of the
fundamental rights Of labor than
the one before us.
Other expressions, no less I'M
ambiguous, are used by Justice
Bradley in combination of the
Slaughter-house Act, for which
we have not the space. Sufficient
is said to show clearly that such
an odious enactment as this can
not stand in the federal courts.
The Supreme Court OF the State
Justice WHY excepted-rendered
an elaborate opinion sustaining
the validity of the Slaughter
house Act. The TELEGRAPH at the
time, characterised the decision as
''unftted for a place among the
judicial records of this enlight-
ened age,' and pointed out the
very objections now made by
Justice Bradley.
The proceedings will now take
a new turn, and the Slaughter
house monopolists, (among whom
let it be remembered, is @. A.
Weed, proprietor of the New
Orleans Times,) will have to plead
to an infraction of civil rights,
the punishment for which is fine
and imprisonment. What pity
the Legislature cannot be reached
by similar proceeding

ment. Destroy the harmony of
the Democrats, and q Republican
victory is certain, without the aid
of the militia, or of the election

But it is said that this election
law will be invoked to nullify any
victory won by the Democrats
This may be true, but who is au-
thorized to say it will not be used
against any party which possesses
the merit of being the party of the
people7 Is any one prepared to
say that Gov. Warmoth favors

.favors it, Or that Speaker Carr
does7 These, with two other per-
sons, are the final canvassers of the
election returns; will any one in
form us what they intend doing
1t is suggested by some that
certain necessary changes be made
in the Democratic platform, and
that then the party name be
changed also, and that this will
cover the whole ground. How in
considerate 'as'if the Republicans
would not see through this thin veil
and upbraid us with cowardice and
deceit. Such step would be re-
garded as virtual admission, that,
although victorious, we had been
outgeneraled and that we were
preparing to act on the defensive
when every consideration would
seem to point to a vigorous ag-
gressive policy. Once the Demo-
cratic party begins to waver, or
the people begin to hesitate, that
fact will be taken as a signal for
a general onslaught by the Re-
publicans, and every parish and
precinct in the State will be
thrown into turmoil and excite
ment!:: We imagine there are very
few citizens who desire to see re-
enacted the demoniacal scenes
and gross outrages upon the cleo
tive franchise which were witness
ed in Louisiana in 1867 and 1865.
