Our AoENrs.-With the view o.
reaching the bulk of our friends in
the parishes, and Of facilitating col.
lect;ons and payments We have es-
tablished agencies in a majority OF
DIR parishes. W. have secured the
services Of gentlemen on whose in
dustry and fidelity we confidently
rely.
The more extensive<and regular
circulation throughout tho parishes
which, for obvious reasons, we are
thus securing will also cause our
sheet to be a valuable medium to
advertisers. There is nothing like
letting people know where to go
direct and get what they want.
The most successful sellers have
been, and are the most liberal and

%The cynical snarl of the Pica-
yune over the erection in LAFAYETTE
Square, of q monument to Benja-
min Franklin, of immortal memory,
may safely be attributed to the fact
that this signer of the Constitution
and author of "poor Richards
maxims," had the misfortune to be
born north of Mason and Dixon's
line; and the good people Of the
Picayure are bound to protest
against even the statue of O carpet

@rMr. L. A. Wilt, the Mayor
elect, and several OF the new Admin
i~strators, went to the City Hall on
Wednesday and claimed their seats
on certificates from State Registrar
Blanchard. Mayor Flanders and
the old Council didn't see it in that
light, and they respectfully declined
to vacate, until some less efcious,
and more official authority is pro-
duced. The idea Of a register of
voters commissioning a City Coun-
Gil is too preposterous even for
these degenerate times.
Mr.. Wilt and Lis coadjutors are
fully entitled to their seats, and as
there is a prescribed way for them
to obtain them, is it not as well to
wait q while, rather than have the
State Registrar magnifying his
Office to the extent of performing
the functions Of the Chief Execu-

@~The City Hall was filed yes
terday with a large crowd waiting
for the new Mayor to take possess
sion. The Council held a special
session and authorized the employ
ment Of special counsel to advise
on the situation. The Administra-
tors are all willing and ready
to 60 out, but they want the thing
to be done "decently and. in order"
Surely there can be no objection to
this.

from interfering with Messrs. Witt

LIEU, Gov. PScHBAcK-We had
hoped for the election of this gentle.
mon a. Congressman at large from the
State of Louisiana, and really do not
doubt Of his election by an honest
count. Mr.. Pinchback is probably
one If the shrewlest of the colored
politicians in the South, and one whose
zeal in behalf Of the best interest of
bis race has never been called in ques-
ton. The almost despotic power
welded by Gov. Warmoth has made it
possible for him to thwart the expressed
wish Of the people by undoubtedly
counting Liet. Gov. Pinchback out,
thereby robbing the people of the State
colored and white, Of a brave and en-
ergetic representative.
We clip the above from the Neu
National Era, without comment, as
it is wholly unnecessary.

TIE STATE ELECTIea CASE.

The United States Circuit Cour1
has all this week bcen occupied
with hearing arguments from coun'
sci in the case Of Senator VIM. p
Kellogg, candidate for Governor,
and Governor Warmoth and his
Returning Board. Able lawyers
are engaged on both aides, and
whether from the scarcity Of loren
sic talent, or from the transcendant
powers of Judge Howe, we cannot
say, but even the Supreme Court of
the State had to send its aid to
prove the "unconstitutionality Of
the enforcement act. The interest
attaching to this case is SO intense
that the Court room-and even
within the most prescribed limits
are early filed and completely
packed all day and every day.
There are yet several pleaders to be
heard, which will doubtless carry
it over into next week.
1t is impossible to conjecture the
course Judge Durell will pursue.
This is the first case of the kind
under the latest constitutional
designed it would APP
pear to prevent the successful perpe-
tration Of the very class of offences
complained of, whether the ground
has been covered by Congress, and
whether the present suit has been
instituted in accordance with the
essential requirements are matters
exclusively with Judge Dureu
st say. OF one thing every Repub-
lican seems satisfied that no special
no tortuous windings,
no plausible arguments, no sophis-
dcal and subtle reasoning, is likely
% divert the Court from the direct, !
leep, and exhaustive consideration
If the main issues presented, and
hat it the remedy exists, and the
appeal is properly made, that rem

REJECTION OF THE PkBaDBaT.

ri, - 81 u G@E
According to constitutional pr
vision, the Presidential Electors q,
required to meet in the sever.
States on the first Wednesday i
December.
To facilitate intelligent compre
tension Of the duties Of these re
sponsible gentlemen, We publish tn
twelfth amendment to the Consti
tuition of the United States whicl
abrogated article two Of the Con
stitution, and regulates this ques
ton:
1.-The Electors shall meet in theil
respective States, and vote byballot fol
President and Vipe-President;;' one 0
whom, at least, shall not be an inhabi
tant Of the same State with themselves
they shall name in their ballot the
person voted for as President. and in
distinct ballots the person voted TO,
as Vice-President, and they shall make
distinct lists of ali persons voted for as
President, and of all. persons voted for
as Vice-President, and Of the number OF
votes tor each, which lists they shallsign
and certify, and transmit sealed to the
seat of government of the United States,
directed to the President of the Senate.
The President of the Senate shall, in
presence Of the Senate and the House
OF Representatives, open oil the GER
tificates, and the votes shall then he
counted. The person having the great
est number of votes for President,
shall be the President, il such number
he:a majority of the whole number of
Electors appointed; and if no person
have such majority, then from the
persons having the highest numbers,
not exceeding three, on the list of
those voted for as President the House
Of Representatives shall choose imme-
diatelyy, by ballot, the President.
But in choosing a President, the votes
shall be taken by States, the represen-
from each State having one: u
quorum for this purpose shall consist of
= member or members from two thirds
of the States, and q majority of Ill the
States shall be necessary to a choice. -
In the present condition of Lou
|siana affairs, the Greeley electors
will doubtless meet and prove that
hey are "game to the last" by
casting their ballots for Greeley and
Brown.
The Grant electors will also meet
md select their candidates and for
yard the result to the seat of gov
rnment, who will submit them to
he joint session OF Congress at it's
ssembling.
Whether Louisiana will have any
DICE in the reelection Of President
frant remains, in the first place,
nth the Liberals OF Louisiana, who.
moving the utter h~opelessness of
he Greeley and Brown cause, may
isely abstain from assembling their
here, and let the Grant
alone; and in the second
lace, with Congress who may throw
ut Louisiana.
Happily, the choice Of the Ameri-
III people is not in q particle of
anger from either or any of these I
'urses; Louisiana and Louisianians /
one are the only ones to be hurt &
bene6tted-to be honored or {
sggraced-by the course to be pur-
ed next Wednesday. d
