" THE RESULT.

Though the National Liberal ticl.
ct has been isastronsly defeated, ev-
cry lover Of the State of Louisiana
will be gratitied TO know that our
state ticket has been completely sue
cessful. McEnery md the rest OF
the Fusion State ticket are elected
by at least 5000 majority, and there
will be a large Fusion majority-per-
haps two thirds-in both branches
of the Legislature
We ought t. be satisfied with this
result. The main stakes for which
we p aged in the late campaign were
the control Of the State government.
Some of our voters were so intenily
bent on this that they either declined
TO vote the National ticket at all, or
else cast their votes for Grant. This
is evident from the fact that Meme
rvs majority is considerably larger
than that Of Greeley and Brown.
The State government is now in the
hands of honest men, and the respon-
sibility of lis condition for the next
fonr years will rest upon the members
of the Fusion party.
It is true that the patient l. almost
in articulo mo,tes and it, recovery,
even under the most skillful treat
ment, is extremely doubtful. Under
the Radicals it has been so long sub
jec'ed to Dr.. SanSrado's blood-letting
treatment, that its vitality has been
well-n nigh exhausted. In four years
the debt of Louisiana has run up to
forty IA lions of dollars; her rich men
hare been baukrnpted and her poor
forced to leave the State; her lands
have lain idle; and emigration has
been diverted from her shores. All
this has been done to graf fly Radi-
cal hate and malisnity and to fill the
pockets of corrupt Radicals officials.
Hence the task before the present
Liberal government is one very diff
cult of performance. The debt and
the present enormous taxation are
to be reduced; credit to be restored
railroads TO be built; and immi.r.-
ton invited to fill up our lands. Bn'
we sincerely believe that the newly
elected government is equ,l to the
task. They have honesty, capacity
and fidelity to the interests OF the
State. Let them set to work in earn
est % repair t ravaSes OF the las
four years. Upon the manner ii
which they perform their duties de
ponds the question whether the Lib
erals shall remain IN power. or wheth
err the State shall be releyated l.
Radical rule.

The Warning Has Been Needed.

Since the exposure Of the attempts
made by certain inscriptions local
dealers. to palm off their coa'se asirin-
gents, made from Cheap and impure
materials, in the place of the great ma
tionul tonic. Hos,etter's Stomach Bit
tiers, public opinion has set strongly
against these empires and their pre-
parali"ns. Their occupation is gone,
or soon will b. When the light is let
INTO deception it soon willis down.
Persons who trifle with their Own
health, by using unknown preparu
tions, with no guarantee. to sustain
them, when an established specific,
proven by twenty years experience f"
he,exactly What it is claimed to be, is
within their reach, are sure to repent
their temerity. Many have done so in
this instance, but it is hoped that the
truth plaiuly spoken has arrested the
evil. In the meantime the ,lemaud for
the leading protective and restorative
medicine of Americ;. was never so great
us it has been this season. From the
fever and asue districts Of the west,

WONDERFUL REsToR ALTON OF
SPEECH. - About five ye.:rs ago,
says the Cumberland (Tenm News,
Miss Eliza Hitp, now about twenty
thee years ofage. residing on Bed
ford street, in this city, lost the
power of speech entirely from the
effects of a cold, and has not, up to
Sunday last, uttered a word since.
The skill of the best medical advi-
ser Of this city and Baltimore was
obtainted by her distressed par
ents, but all in vain, and all hope
Of the restoration of her vocal pow
ers was given up.
On Sunday morning she was re-
ling .rom church and was think
ing Of a particular tune sung 10y
the choir &C the services she hrd
Just attended, when she found her
self unconsciously- humming it.
She was greatly aslonished to hear
sounds issuing from her lips, but
proceeded TO make other expert
ments. and found that she could
speak!
How or where this miraculous
cure, if such it can be called, was
effected no one can tell, but the Joy
of the young ladA's parents and
friends is so great that they do not
trouble themselves much OF this
head. but are content to look at il
as an interpOsition Of Providence
The young lady's Joy. as may bt
imagined, is not unspeakable, and
we suppose that after five years O
enforced silence she will have :
great deal to talk about for some
time to come.

4 Foul Conspiracy Foiled..

THE RETURNING BOARD FIXED TO DEFEAT
FUsroN-eovEESoR wARMoTHs PROMPT
AND MAsTEELY Stately.
Day before yesterday the Return
ing Board met, according to law, in
the Governors office, to act upon the
returns of the late election. There
were present the Governor, Lieuten-
ant Governor, Acting Secretary OF
State Heron and Senator Lynch.
After organizine,i it was moved that
Lieutenant Governor Pincnback hav-
ing been candidate in the late cleo
ton, WIS ineligible to discharge the
duties of a member of the Returning
Board. Lieutenant Governor Pinch
back acquiescel in this decision, on
the presentation of the opinion OF
Chief Justice Ludeling that such was
the law, and retired from the Board.
A like motion was made in regard
to Senator Anderson. Thereupon,
Governor Warmoth suggested that
as Senator Anderson was absent, it
would be better to postpone action
in his case until lie could reach the
city.
During the setting, Senator Lynch
declared his purpose to be to reject
al! the returns f.om the parishes and
polls of The city which were charged
to be fraudulent and illegal. 1t did
not neel this intimation to put Gov
elnor Warmoth on bis guard as to
the infamous conspiracy which had
been concocted 10 cheat this people
of ,heir rights, and re deliver them
into the hauds of the Customhouse
cormoran,s. He was folly prepared
for their plot.
Accordingly when the Board met
to-day, present, Governor Warmoth,
Aching Secretary of State Heron,
and Senator John Lynch, the Gov
erunr, after the reading of the min
utes, presented the certificate OF An-
ditor Graham showing that Acting
Secretary of S ate Heron being a
defaulter, he had been compelled by
the constitution and law to suspend
him from the exercise Of his functions
on charges which would be enumera-
ted to the Senate.
Accordingly, Secretary of State
Heron was requested to withdraw
IRON the Board, which he did.
Governor Warmoth next present
ed the commission, and the evidence
Of his qualifications for the office, o.
Colonel Jack Wharton, as the success
ser of General Heron.
Colonel Wharton was in the ante
room, and ON being sent for, prompt
lv appeared and took his seat in the
board. ...-.--.
! Governor Warmoth then proposed
the name of T. II. Hatch rs snb
stitute for Lieutenant Governor
Pinchback, which motion was adopt
ed by the votes of Governor War
mo h an Secretary of State Whar
ton-Senator Lynch voting "No."
1t was further moved that Du
rant DaPonte be elected i'll place o
Senator Thomas Anderson. Thes
nominations We're adopted by til
Board, wherenpon Senator Lyncl
retired. The Board being thus con,
p.eted, according to law, will pro
