: At the Elkton polls all decency We

AT the Elkton polls all decency was
disregarded and the law violated by intimi-
dalton OF poor men who owed bills to
prominet Democratic leaders; and the sup
ply of whisky, to voters who were taken
into the slums and drenched till brutalized,
then dragged to the polls, and the powerless
hand which grasped the Democratic ballot
poked over the rail into the judges faces,
by main strength. Some of the liquor
holes, with closed windows and doors, piled
their traffic in violation of the election law,
Judging from the sounds within and the
drunken men who reeled out. The next
Grand Jury, if it performs its duty, will
inquire into and bring to punishment all
these violators of the election law, which
are noticeably growing holder every year.
Rumers were rife of irregular practices
at the polls in the First District, which we
have not had opportunity of inquiring into
to ascertain the truth or falsity Of
Not much fighting occurred, and the day
passed off pretty orderly. A difficulty
occurred between Bill Grow and John Ben
nett about voting some free American citi-
zen not of African descent, which culmi-
mated in slight scrimmage" and a
click" or two. which was promptly check
ed by the Sheriff and bystanders, and order
restored. Two or three others we noticed
late in the day with punched heads, but
good order generally prevailed.
The counting out lasted till about four
o'clock on Wednesday morning, and re-
turns from other Districts came in slowly
during the forenoon of Wednesday. The
result of the voting was ascertained from
all the Districts, except the
FIRST.
The vote was close between several of the
candidates, and nothing definite could be
determined till the First District was heard
from. Every other person you met inquir-
ed, "Have you heard from the First?" A
messenger was expected every hour from the
First; but the day wore on to evening and
still no news came from the First. Finally
night closed down on the scene and still
nothing from the First. Rumors were rife
in the morning that the judges had counted
out till ~ o'clock and then closed up and
retired to bed, like staid, easy going clti-
zens, and commenced work the next morn
ing, at eight o'clock. The betting gentry
offered to put up nothing higher than a
"big apple" And the day wore into the
night, but still no news came from the
"First." That District never was so I'M
portant before. Thursday morning finally
dawned, and every man met his neighbor
Oh the street with the old question, "Any
news from the First? ?" But no news from
the First that could be relied on. A dried
up looking piece of humanity, who carries
the mail through Cecilton, came up about
nine o'clock and reported a Democratic
majority of one hundred; but he told diff
ferent stories and the Democrats wouldn't
believe him. They had been too badly
handled to believe good news without con-
frmation. Finally the Return Judge
arrived about noon and published the result
which will be found in the table.

subject, which can not easily be over
turned.
Flour is in good demand for the higher
grades, which has been the character Of
the market for some time, and, as conse-
quence. the bigger grades are not to be
had upon mere asking.
There is speculative movement on foot
in pork, purchase of four hundred
barrels of mess being made by one buyer,
and simultaneous movement in the
same direction being remarked, but with
out consummating anything. No idea
can be had of the cause of this specula-
tive movement unless, to quote the words
of one of the GREASY men, that ssthere
will soon be pork wanted when there's
none to be had" Upon correct anticipa-
tions are fortunes made.
In corn dealer actually calculates that
the Southern crop will slacken the de-
mand fully one-half, and this is so far
beyond our own eyes that this individual
must be left to his reflections.
But the heaviness of business is OPP
Eressive, and in this there is no "let
up" Those who hold stocks do not
attempt to force them, as this would be
coupled with injury and it actually
seems as if all the sales were made to
cover 'shQrts' of some time ago.

THE FAILURE OF THE ENGLISH LEGIs-
LATIVE SYSTEM.

1t is quite evident from the tone of
some of the English papers of note that
there is feeling of dissatisfaction in re-
gard to the present legislative system
now existing in that country.
That system as illustrated by the exper-
fence of the present session has broken
down conspicuously and lamentably. There
appears to be but one voice on that point.
So says prominent English journal.
It appears that the time for the existence
of such cunbrous and uRwieldly body
of men as are now collected in the houses
of Lords and Commons has passed. The
British Legislative machinery was framed
for o state of things which has utterly
disappeared, and for which it was not i'll
adapted. The legislation of the British
Parliament has been purely mechanical,
its work being prepared before hand by
the several ministerial departments of
the government. Everything in the pre-
partition of laws is in the hands of the
ministry, and the measures proposed by
them are expected to be Endorsed by the
legislative department, as matter of
course. Under the influences of the
changes in public sentiment, the
people are beginning to understand
at the so-called representation in the
House of Commons is a farce. There is
very little Of that material of which it is
composed, that have much to say upon
the matters brought before it, for the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-08-13
ON CARONDELET STREET.

The week just closed has shown but few
interesting topics that have taken up at
tention. The only stocks for sale upon
the street of late have been the Pneumatic
Propelling and the Levee Company, the
former of which did not maintain the
rise which pushed it up as high as nine
and half, as it soon. fell to it's old stand
of four and half to five at the purchas-
ers option.
A great lack of animation has prevailed,
the lots for sale have been few, and the
prices in favor, alternately, of buyer and
seller. Few stocks that are good can be
sold at fair price.
The political connections only tended
to make things more locked up than ever.
Those who wished to buy caught them
selves looking into the future L" far as hui
man eye can see" and affairs looked, finan-
cially speaking, more mixed than the
present. SO the upshot of this is an I'M
certainty, during the spell of which moth
ing can be done.
Gold stands somewhat higher. The
season of the arrival of imports will soon
be in its full tide, and when the millions
of goods arrive and are put in store, the
thousands of gold for payment will be
sold. In the face of the present increased
demand for the precious metal, the rate is
quite moderate. While in the course of
last year gold bounded up or fell down
three or four per cent in single day, this
year it simply varies by fraction, and
sometimes by a unit. The sales made
during last week exceeded the amount
made the previous week, though yester-
day the sales were few. From one to FIVE
Fights in advance of the New York rate,
which was twelve and three-eighths, a
sale was made of twenty-five hundred
dollars at twelve and quarter, and two
thousand dollars at twelve. Others who
wanted gold preferred to wait over Satur-
day until Monday. Few purchases of
gold are made before the real necessity to
use, but are transacted when the need is
immediate.
Cotton shares the fate of stocks, and
like them, ''can't keep up long" The
stimulation of prices is soon spent,
though brought about by uncommon
fears of short crop and worms. Then
such lugubrious bewailings are pooh
poohed at Liverpool in the regular
English style of sarcasm, and there are
the "unfayorable advices" coupled with
sale figures which contribute to depress
the market and make sales slim. De-
mands still set in steady run for the
ordinaries for the export interest, but the
holders are holdfasts, and will make no
concessions, while buyers are shy, and
hover around with no fixed ideas on the
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-08-13
OPF AGAIN.

Collector Casey has left again for Wash
mgton. He arrived here from that city
but few hours before the assault on Fort
Casey by delegation of the Republican
party, armed with umbrellas, and has,
we suppose, been detailed to carry on the
official report of that brilliant affair. He
has been selected for this duty in compli-
ment to his well known powers of de-
scripton, and will be depended on to sup
ply any omissions in the written report.
He will be able to lay before the Presi-
dent the gratifying fact that the granite
walls of the Customhouse received no per-
ceptble injury from the umbrellas; and,
thanks to the peaceful disposition of the
attacking party, the three compan-
les of infantry were amply able to pre-
serve the ''public property" 1t will not,
probably, be necessary to alIude to the
fact that little or none of this property
was left lying around loose, and that all
the deputy marshals went home about as
poor as they came. This preservation of
property is creditable to all parties, and
too much stress can not be laid upon it
by Mr.. Casey. <
The fact that the government prop
erty and the government authority
were neither of them threatened by
any one outside of the Customhouse
crowd, nor yet by any one in it, is of no i'm
portance in the tale Mr. Casey has been
sent on to relate. His best hold is to bring
to the Presidential mind the intelligence
that the Customhouse and all of the gov.
eminent property is intact and safe. And
having convinced him that political
meetings can be safely held in the United
States Customhouse, ask and obtain per-
mission to tender its use to the Democrats
when they assemble in convention. The
government is strong financial concern,
and can defy competition in the business
of furnishing public halls; it can not only
tax the other proprietors of halls on their
gross incomes, but can let its own prop
erty at rates which would be ruinous to
private capitalists. And as Mr.. Herwig
has shown by figures that the receipts of
gold on Wednesday were much larger
than on the corresponding days in August
for the two preceding years, it may be
matter of interest to the government to
have convention, crowd Of angry
men, and host of deputy marshals, pro-
tected by United States troops, down
there every day. In this manner, Mr..
Casey Will be able to increase the revenues
OF the government, and acquire the repu-
tation OF being the greatest fnancier of
the day. We hope he.will not neglect his
opportunity. twill naturally be crafty
ing to the President and the numerous
friends, and relatives of Mr.. Casey, to
earn that he has some claims to his i'm
portant position not founded on his fam
lily connection with General Grant.
Since theabove was written, we learn
that Mr.. Casey has not left town. But
no matter.

SENSATIONAL REPORT FROM EUROPE.

A telegram of startling significance
comes over the wires from Europe, to
the effect that Russia and France have
fraternized against Germany, This state
ment is supplemented with another, that
Prussia and Austria have united as
against the two former powers, thus
establishing avspirit Of hostility between
the East and West of Europe against the
two great central States of the continent.
Honestly, we do not believe anything of
this very sensational report, although
plausible reason can be given for its
accuracy. Austria is bitterly opposed to
the absorption of Turkey by Russia, and
since Germany is now consolidated into
a single empire, with boundaries drained
by the Danube, perhaps the cabinet at
Berlin has come to feel some interest in
the independence Of the Ottoman empire.
On this suggestion, it is possible to be-
ieve that Austria <and Germany have
had an understanding as to their in
terests in'the Turkish question, and what
might have assisted this alliance wouId
be the known activity of England in
fomenting combinations designed to
thwart the ambition of the Muscovite in
his designs upon the straits of the
Dardanelles. Won Beust is a minister of
profound ability, and he may have
impressed Bismarck with the necessity
of preserving the integrity of Turkey in
the general interest of Europe, espe-
cially as his endeavors in that direction
were fully seconded by the arguments
of the English government. On this
hypothesis the story may be accepted as
possible, but on all other grounds it is
wholly irreconcilable with what seems
to be the settled programme of European
politics.
Prussia has no direct interest in Turkey
as against Russia, but on the contrary, it
occurs to us that German9should cult
vate the Muscovite prediction for an
Asiatic extension. If the Gar can be
diverted to the south he will have no dis
position to covet the west, and thus Prusr
STA will find herself without opposition
from her northern neighbor in any design
which she may entertain against Central

THE REsULT IN KEETUKoY.


General Harlan, who made the late
canvass as a Republican candidate for
Governor of Kentucky, has earned the
applause which greets him on every side
He entered the canvass when the party
was disorganized, and success almost
hopeless. Ninety thousand Democratic
majority was fearful mass to assail; but
General Harlan went at his work with
such weapons, and with so much perse-
verance and pluck, that when the ballot
was taken last Tuesday, he was answered
by reduction of the opposition majority
of fully forty-fve thousand votes. He
reasoned with the Democrats until
they almost accepted his platform;
he appealed to the old line Wings
until they decided that if they did
not support him, they would not support
his opponent. Like Governor Warmoth,
in Louisiana, he encouraged white men to
be brave enough to cast their support with
their convictions. Thousands of people
in Kentucky were ashamed toact with the
Republican party, because to do so was to,
incur the remark that they were "nigger
lovers. General Harlan, heightened,
eloquent, well connected, an old line Wing
politician, and polished in his manners,
taught the people different story. He
spoke to Kentuckians as he had spoken to
them before, about principles that they had
loved, andy which they. still cherish; he
told them that to support principle was
not to become the associate or equal of
other men who upheld the same idea, but
that it was a duty which no man could
neglect any more than he can refuse to be
a Christian and q patriot, because negroes
were Christians and patriots. Men must
pursue the truth, whatever company it
throws them into. And if black men are
in the line of light, white men must not
enter the darkness because they can not
keep company with those who stand in
the true path. Thousands of white peo-
pie rallied to this new revelation, thus
bravely told to them by one Of their own
kindred, and the result is most gratifying.
And not only is the actual result cheering
to the Republicans, but the prospective
effect is fattering indeed. Thousands of
men who stood aIoof, through weakness,
will cross the Rubicon next year. Their
feet are already in the water, and it only
requires little more persuasion to induce
them to cross the stream. All this is
mostly due to one mans labors, for
though the-mass of the Republicans in
Kentucky attended to their duty, they en-
tered upon the canvass discouraged, and
only came up to the work when they
found what leader they had to carry
them forward Seeing all this, that emf
nent Journal the Cincinnati Gazette, has
suggested General Harlan's name for the
Vice Presidency next year, which is
very high compliment.

PLEAsONToN,s SUSPENSION.

The Democratic papers are very much
interested in Mr.. Pfe5onton, who was dis
placed from the Internal Revenue De
partment at Washington on Wednesday,
by order of President Grant They al
ways manifest disposition to dodge
around where there is a scandal to be
picked up, and while Pleasonton was
commissioner the Democratic papers
charged that he was knee deep in frauds,
and that he had such hold on the Presi-
dent that he could not be discharged.
General Grant quietly removed him on
Wednesday, and now the organs that said
he could not be/ousted, whip around and
declare that his discharge will unfold
some very dark and damning stories about
the Treasury Department. They do not
say this as if they felt happy and patriotic
concerning these expected developments
and would welcome them for the good of
the country, but they say it as the Bulletin
used to say about helping Wicklife, sit
will do our side good"
General Grant turns a suspected officer
out, and the opposition picks him up, be-
cause it supposes he can tell some stories
which viii ''help our side" without once
giving the need of praise to the officer
who has purified the public service. All
these reports concerning General Pleason-
ton are sensational. He disagreed with
his chief, Secretary Boutwell,, upon meas
ures of financial policy, and the Presi-
dent took sides with his Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t was a question Of subordina-
ton in the departments, and nothing
more General Pleasonton has no secret
to reveal concerning Mr. Boutwell,, and
Mr.. Boutwell, has no errors to cover up
that he is afraid of, or which thousand
men in Washington could not find out,
if such things had an existence. The
Democrats will make less out of the
Pleasonton reports that they did out of
helping Wicklife This way of doing
mean things to ''help our side" does not
pay always
