u Since the war it has been the
thing in Louisiana to count in the
Radical congressman, no matter what
the vote was. This has beef, done
under the manipulation of the State
government. Now, however, the State
government and the Federal govern
mont do not harmonize, and so to have
all things right for the Federal gov
eminent, the inspecting of the elections
is to be removed from the State con-
trel. To this end, one Sypher-who
is counted in congressman from this
State-has introduced bill into Con-
gress, extending the operations of the
enforcement act to the whole country.
Sypher is confident that there will be
no excuse whatever for the election OF
Democrats to Congress if his bill can
pass. 1t is pretty certain few will sue
coed in getting there.

Have We a Public Administrator
Among Us2

We publish in another column an
able and interesting opinion of Judge
Daigre, OF the Parish Court, tot the
effect that there is no such officer
known to the law as Public Admin
istrator. We commend the reason
ing of his honor and his conclusions
to all. To our mind they are per-
fectly convincing.
It will be remembered that Mr..
John Ray, in his botchwork OF the
Organic Law, for which he was paid
$4,000, managed to turn out OF Jail
all the prisoners who had been &C
cnsed of crime. The Supreme Court,
which is as much the servant OF the
Radical government as MIR. Ray him
self, came to the relief Of the Ouachi-
ia, Scion by a very ridiculous deci-
sion. We hardly think MIR. Ray in
tended to prohibit his friends from
robbing dead men, but he has most
effectually done it. Whether the
Supreme Court will again come to
his relief remains to be seen.
When this Office was first created
we denounced it as one of the most
Infamous of all the statutes that the
Radicals have placed on the Statute
book. We warned every body who
expected to die to make his will and
thus to aid in cheating these cormo'
rants out of some of the prey fol
which they were whetting their beaks
| We believe our readers all took oul
advice. 1t is difficult now to find Q
Rapides man who is not an fait or

whether they be olograpic wills, nun
cupative willis by public act or nun
cupative wills by private act. Sucl
men will rest little easier now whe1
they learn from judicial decision
that there is no public Administra
tor among US. They will therefor
bless the memory of our able Parisl
Judge. a Is

TAKING CARE OF LAMps.-Scarce]

TAKING CARE OF Enthusiastically
a week passes during the winter
months, but we read accounts offright-
full accidents from kerosene lamps ex.
ploding and killing, or soaring for
life, women and children. A simple
knowledge of the infammable nature
of the fluid would probably put a stop
to nearly all the accidents. As the oil
burns down into the lamp, q highly in
flammable gas gathers over it's surface,
and as the oil decreases the gas in
creases. When the oil is nearly con-
sumed, a slight jar will often inflame
the gas, and an explosion is sure to
follow, dealing with it death and des-
truction.i A bombshell is no more to
be dreaded. Now, if the lamp is not
allowed to burn moro than half way
down, such accidents are almost i'm.
possible. Always I'LL your lamp in the
morning; then you need never fear an
explosi0n.-[Rural Home. s ~

The subordination of party to the
higher interests of the people which
the address inculcates, was the idea we
desired to enforce. This does not
mean that the integrity of the party
ought not to be preserved or that such
a sacrifice ia now called for but only
that the placing in the field of candi-
dates for State Offices should be held
subject to the more important end in
view-that of driving from power the
men who have so numerically plumber
ed the people and installing honest
men in their place. If to secure this
indispensable object it be necessary
to concede to the Republicans q repre-
sentation in the Government, we think
the propriety of making this conces-
sion deserves to be considered in = lib
eral spirit. We must remember that
so far We have no fair registration OF
voters nc- any freedom Of election, and
are not likely to have either unless the
Republicans choose to grant it. They
are in position to exact terms while
we may not be. If 90 is it not clear

The Connecticut Election.

The election in Connecticut on the
LIST inst. resulted according to the
last accounts in the election of Jewel,
the Radical candidate, by majority
of only thirty votes over Mr.. Hubbard,
the Democratic nominee. His ma
iority last year over English was one
hundred. It will be seen, therefore,
that there has been a Democratic
gain.
The Radicals made unusual efforts
to carry Connecticut, spent their
money freely and made thorough
canvass of the State by their ablest
stump speakers. But for the disper-
iting effect of the Democratic defeat
in New Hampshire few weeks be-
fore the Connecticut election, the
Democrats would have had an easy
victory. But it was all-important
to Grant to carry both these States,
and his friends determined to carry
them by fair means or by foul. His
nomination at Philadelphia is now
secured beyond preadventure.
But other important results will
flow from these elections. The Lib
eral Republicans, who stand on the
Missouri platform, will be forced tc
make q nomination, now that there
is no hope of preventing the nomi-
nation of Grant. If Brown or Trum'
bull, both of whom have been Dem
ocrats, should be nominated, GRAM
will have a great deal of trouble il
the Republican camp before mex
November.
The Democrats, too, will learn al
important lesson from these defeats
Although the elections show that tn
Democratic party is alive, in full zig
or, and much stronger than last year
yet as it was unable to beat the Rad
icals, it will see the necessity of har
mony, Cancellation and union among
all parties opposed to the recollection
of Grant. We believe he can b
easily defeated and more than tina
we believe that he will be-.
In the midst of these defeats i
