from 669 for Graham in 1870, X
1900 in 1879, for the Republican
National, Congressional and Stat
tickets. Well done for old Iber
} vile.
Jackson surprizes nobody witt
her 600 for Greeley and the Liberia
party. In 1870. she gave $50 70,
Jumel.
Jefferson has not been at ali
derilect this time. Looking back
at her pretty record Of 1870 when
1873 majority came in for Graham,
she will with fair play this year give
1860 to Grant and the Republican
party.
Lafayette is gone unquestionably
to the enemy again. In 1870, it
went with a majority of 600 to
Jumel. Look out for Lafayette in
1872, boys. /
Lafourche from a Republican ma
jority Of little over 100 in 1870 has
gone back q little farther and lost
the presidential vote by 80; what
proportion of parish officers has
been elected we cannot yet ascer-
tain.
Livingston has gone once more
Democratic by a majority of $50.
Madison, however more than
atones for this loss, and besides vim
dicating her Republican supremacy
by the election of her local officers
has cast q vote by 1000 majority,
out of which efforts are on foot to
cheat them.
Morehouse has also been gaining
ground since 1870, and has increas-
es from % majority then cast to 14O
this year.
Natchitoches rolled up a majority
of 1247 in 1870, but mira1ble dictu,
it has been carried bodily over to
the enemy by 500 majority.
Ouachita has not been backward
either in. her Republican hbors.
Whatever: may be the slightly vary
ing vote of respective candidates the
the majoaity reported from this par
ish for tho National and State tick
ct is $50.
Plaquemines-The empire parish
returns come in with ominous tar
diness, but there need be no appre-
tensions OF her Republican safety,
though we have not the slightest
doubt her natural majority will be
greatly reduced. We set her down
for 1900 majority Without trepida-
ton.
Point Coupee-Of all the out
raggeous practices Of ways and tricks
this unfortunate parish has evident
" suffered bitterly. The wall of
has not reached us yet,
but it must come if there is any life
left in tnat honored old spot. In
1870 ont Of a vote of 1910 in which
Graham beat Jumel by 1862, in 49,
u, poor Point Coupee is set down
with $50 majority for Greeley.
Since the above has been in type
Sara dispatches claim 900
Republican majority.
Rapides has also been q victim.
Unquestionably largely Republican,
she has by the loss of 1850 votes frau
aulently detained from her citizens
through the conduct of the assist
mt State Supervisors, she appears
in tie shameful and humiliating at
itude Of a Democratic parish and
IS having cast 300 majority for that
