Darral independent republican-the
congressional contest in the Third dis
trict is becoming as lively as should lie
expected under the circumstances.
While the CustomhOuse State Central
Committee officially substituted No
land for Darrall, it seems to be the de-
termination Of that body to use its in
iuence in favor of MIR. Darrall, and he
will therefore, receive in all probability
the largest portion of the republican
vote. In addition to that, his friends
claim that by a series of bargain and
sale with Democrats, he viii receive a
number of Democratic votes, as he did
in 1870.
The following is the official return OF
the congressional vote in 1870, by par,

GEN. ALLEN THOMAS AND HoS. E.
GANTT.-The Attakapas Register says
Gen. Allen Thomas, of Ascension
parish, will support Ebert CAN'T for
Congress in this district.
VIZ are glad to hear this. General
Thomas formerly resided in our parish,
where he still has many warm friends.
During the war he raised a company
in this parish, became Col. of the 29th
La. Infantry, and in 1868 was made a
BrigadierG General. Since the warhe has
residedin Ascension.
Ho is one of the Greeley and Brown
electors on the fusion ticket.
We had heard it rumored that the
Genl. would not support Mr.. Can't
but we did not believe it. because in
this campaign there are not many Con-
federate soldiers who will desert the
fusion ticket. Ebert CAN'T is on the
ticket, and no man has any more right
to so back on him than on McEnery
They must stand or fall together.

MEssRs. ANDERSON AND CAN'T.

Under this caption an article appeared
in the last number of the Courier, which
looks very much like " letting down.
Old charges, long ago refuted and sat
isfactorily explained, have been re-
yamped, in order to produce an effect
just before the election, and before
they could be answered.
Messrs. Anderson and CAN'T have
been long before the public of ST. Ian
dry. They have been the best abused
men OF all our1eaders butboth Of them
have rendered important and valuable
public services.
The bill removing the restriction on
the Police Jury as to taxation, has had
the effect of reducing the tdres. The as,
sessment has been less since than be.
fore the passage of the Law.
The acts of the Legislature, as to Reg.
istration, Elections, Militia, &C, have
all been opposed by Genl. Anderson
His votes are recorded against them
The Courier cannot change or perverr
the public records.
The public services of Messrs. An
derson and Can't entitle them to pub
lie support, and from all we can learl
they will be sustained on Monday by
very large majority.

The Couaiers slanderous articles
against Messrs. Anderson and CAN'T
arc being circulated in circulars, that
sheet being too limited in circulation to
serve the purpose. On the circulars is
an addition iii writing (being to glar-
ingly false to be printed as an editorial)
which says;
SIN the fall OF 1866 T. G. Anderson,
Ebert emit and j. G.. Barry wereelec-
ted to the Legislature and were also
appointed members of the Police Jury.
4. G. Anderson was elected Treasurer
thereof and continues so up to this day.
Mr. anderson requests us to state
that the above statement is false and
the author of tia willful falsifer. He
was never q member of the Police Jury,
and was not elected Treasurer thereei
in 1866. but was elected Treasurer by
the Police jury elected by the people in
1858.
We would add that the whole cir.
eular is full Of false statements ; and il
is evident to every nnprejudiced mind
that the object of the Gourier'e articles
and circulars is not truth and justice
but to perseeute these gentlemen and
defeat their election at the expense Of
truth.
