Louisiana has against
the Republican party. Upon no
known principle of law or moral
ity can such a decision be Justl-
fied-can such q wrong upon the
elective franchise be sustained
But we were not ,1pprepared Tor
such a result, and hence the salts
faction we have expressed at the
decision made by the House in the
contest from this district.
But one case moro from LOUIS
lana remains to be disposed Of
the case of Judge Bailey from the
third district. We had hoped
that the Republicans would for
once act fairly and give Judge
Bailey his seat; or at least refuse
to seat his contestant; but the
precedent set in Ryan's case will
doubtless prevail in Bailey's, and
Darrall will go in.

her usual punctual time on Mon
day next. Capt. Work has ex-
tended an invitation to the ladies
and gentlemen of Monroe, Trenton
and vicinity to accompany him as
far as Ouachita City on pleasure
excursion. The opportunity for
enjoying a good time is presented,
and we believe many will avail
themselves of it in order to enjoy
Capt. WIS proverbial hospitality.
A string band from New Orleans
and the Monroe Brass Band will
be in attendance.

CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, May 21, 1870.

WASHINGTON, May 21, 1870.
SENArE-The Senate this morn
ing passed a bill enforcing the
Fifteenth Amendment. Many new
and more stringent clauses were
added to the bill.
It goes to the House for con-
currence. The fiual vote was 40
to s. A motion denying fees to
informers, was lost, by FL to %.
On motion of Mr.. Morton a Sec
ton was inserted making Grimm
al all attempts to influence the
votes Of co1ored persons by de-
priving them of occupation, eject
ing them from houses, lands or
other property, refusing to renew
leases, ETC., and imposing a fine
of $500 and imprisonment of not
less than one year for such offence.
An additional section, offered
by Mt. Pool, was adopted, making
organizations of two or more per-
sons to violate the provisions of
this act felonies, punishable by
fine of not more than $4,000 and
imprisonment not exceeding ten
years, the offender to be thereaf-
ter Ineligible to Office under the
United States.
Mr.. Carpenter moved an amend
ment that any person deprived of
an Office, except a Congressman
or Estate legislator, by reason of
the violations Of this act, or by
denial of the right to vote to any
citizen on account of race, color,
etc., shall be entitled to hold such
office, and may recover possession
of it by quo acarranto, Or other ap-
proceedings in any Uni
ted States District Court for the

having jurisdiction. Adopted

ing Of the citizens of jackson

were pleased to express prefer
ence for Mr.. McCranie as a can

an expression of Mr.. Mechanics
gratitude for the confidence of

fact that the announcement of

red, however, by a consciousness
of his own nnfitness to represent
such a people as those who make
up the great State of Louisiana
in the Federal Congress, and by
the reflection that in the discharge
of a trust involving so many
weighty interests he has been on
,ly able to protect SO few. But IT
his honesty Of purpose is under
stood and his intentions fairly
weighed, the main object of his
ambition is attained. He willing
~ surrenders back to the people,
by whom he has been favored,
the commission with which he
was entrusted; regretting deeply
his inability to carry out fully his
instructions, but conso1ed in a
measure to know that in..the midst
of temptations and adversities he
has kept the faith of his people
and is no less a sufferer from par
tisan injustice than are they. To
the people belong the right Of
choosing his successor Whoever
he may be. he has only to obtain
the sanction of the people and no
one will support him more cor
daily than will Mr.. McCranie.

in the town of Vernon during the
May session of the Parish Court,
James E. Ham1ett, Esq. was call
ed to the chair and Michael Dick
erson, Esq, appointed Secretary.
The Chairman in few very ap-
propriate remarks explained the
objection Of the meeting to be an
expression of the choice of the
people for Representative from the
9th Congressional District; to ap-
probate the conduct of Hon G.
W. Mechanic in tho contest
over:his seat in Congress, and also
to suggest a time and place for
holding the next Democratic
Congressional nominating con-
vention. After the remarks of
the Chairman, E. e. Kidd, Esq,
in a few words highly compli-
mentary of the zeal and ability
hitherto displayed by Hon. G. w.
McCranie in his course II politics.,
presented the following preamble
and resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted
WHEREAS, Geo. W. MeCranie Congressman elect
represent tho 5th Congressional District, has ex-
hibited and ability in contosting his seat
with Morey s~dicaD and finally succeeded In thwart-
ing tho efforts OF said Morey to obtain wrongfally
and against the expressed viii Of an overwhelming
