THE ELECTION IN OUACHITA.
Intimidation at the PolIs--Izovv The Farce
Was Played.

The election on the 18th inst. passed
turbance OF any kind, although ample
preteXts for one were furnished by the
conduct of the Radicals throughout the
day. Probably ut no precinct in amy
part of tho state was there II greater in
timidation of voters than nj the pro
cincts in this parish.
From reliable information furnished
by numbers of pcrsons--not being pros
cnt OurSelf-Wc arc enabled to mako
the following showing of the manner
in which ga fair, free and rcaccablc
elcction' was held in Monroe.
The whites were considerably intim-
idatCd by the presence OF United States
troops, and were prevented from, using
the ordinary means usually rrSrrtrd to
in orlrr To solicit votes. There WAS
no actual participation in the election
by the soldiers, but their presence here
unqucstionably kept many from the
polls, and those who did attend, from
using energetic means to carry the
Fusion ticket. 1t WAS the moral power
produced by the simple presence of the
soldiers, and the fact that the colored
voters We're informed that it was their
duty to vote the Radical ticket, that
prevented a free choice among The ne
grOcs. Every species of moral iutiu1i-
lation was resorted to. For days pre-
Vious to the election, and on the day of
the election, the coloreu voters were
told, and impressed with the belief,
that it was a penitentiary otieusc to
scratch Il ticket, or to vote the Fusion
ticket.
The co'ored voters were kept in Il
vsaU-egulated alignment, and men
would go up and down the line every

Although II terrible ordeal to have
passed through, our fire of last Decenl-
Der will, we are satisfied, prove Il bcnc-
fit to our city. The new brick stores of
Messrs. Dreyfus, Gcrson, King, Gross
and Sanders would prov" crcditablc to
city of much greater pretonsion5. The
latter named gentleman, with corn-
mcndablc rorcthought, approaching Il
great need Of this community, has
built II handsome and spacious hall
over his store where particiMttor5 in
Masonic rites and ceremonies, lovers of
social and literary gatherings, ans! in-
dulgers in the Tcrpsiclorcan art, can
enjoy themselves to their hearts CON
tent, with q sense Of security which thc
unblcmiShcd condition Of The brautilrl-
~ finished walls must inspire, after
repeated indulgenccs on the light fan
tastic toe, by thirty or forty couples al
one time on the floor. We hope the
young folks will bear in their grateful

RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.

We may safely congratulate the peo-
pie upon the fact that the election is
over; for, the issue, whatever it may be,
has brought to rich and poor, high
and low, successful and unsuccessful
Il sense of genuine relief. The hard
fought struggle is over; somebody, it is
true, has been hurt, and we may hear
groans and signs of the wounded and
dying, but all this was inevitable, and
VIC can only hope that the sufferers
will die like heroes and make as de-
cent and respectable corpses as the ma
Looking abroad over the "Nation,"
we are constrained to bow our editorial
head reverentially, in token of sorrow
for the defeat of our gallant old leader,
Horace Greeley. And we are none the
less sorrowful because we never had
any confidence in his election and be-
lieved his nomination a biunder from
the start. Mr.. Greeley has nobly done
his duty, battling against Il power no
man ever encountered before, and, we
arc sure, will prove greater in defeat
than in the prospect of success. AS the
king of the Tribune, he will be found
more powerful friend of the South and
IL more troublesome enemy to Radical
ism than he was as Il candidate for the
Presidency. But the Democracy, led
by him, went to battle under false col
ors and broken by despair.
It began the race demoralized, and
has ended it shattered. The Liberal
Republican movement, never amount
ing to much numerically, is, in slang,
but expressive, phraseology, "played
out" The failure, by its great leaders,
to develop any Republican strength at
the North, even in !. single district,
has put an extinguisher on the incipi-
ent flame. Still, its originators have
fertility of resources, are strong and
brave, and out Of their united efforts
may come something yet to bring
back the Union to its original course
and reckoning.
IN OUR STATE,
We confidently predict the success of
the Fusion ticket, for all State offices.
The conservative people, appearing in
many places to care nothing for the
risk of electing Radicals in the districts
and parishes, have happily and wisely
shown Il care for the salvation of the
State. We are gratitied to know that,
in our humble way, we have contribu-
ted something to achieving this result
even if it has been done bysacrficing
our personal claims or aspirations. 1t
is to be hoped that the wisdom and
efforts Of the people have included in
their scope the election of sound and
good men to the Legislature. Col
McEnery, as Governor, will not be
able long to stem the tide Of corruption
in a Radical Legislatures; but with :,
conservative majority he may, in four
years, make Louisiana prosperous,
great and happy.

few minutes and inspect their ballots.
Judge Baker was very prominent in
this sort of work, and he was ably as
sisted by numerous other Radicals not
quite SO prominent but equally as
efficient. At the box on DeSiard street,
the colored voters became very FESTIVE
under the severe discipline to which
they were subjected, and at one time
were about to " break ranlls.' This
would have permitted the Fusionists
to appeal to them and solicit their
votes, and would have given them an
opportunity to vote tho ticket of their
choice. The Radicals wore energetic
and percmptory in their efforts to keep
them in ranks; and one, 4 prominent
Radical--repOrteh to be one of the lay
Eamily-urgcd the file closer5 20 knock
them down with 4 stick if they did not
keep in ranks.
| It is stated in an affidavit, and the
same fact was witnessed by many
| voters, that Deputy Sheriff Dinkgrave
stood at the polls and demanded an in
spcction of tho ballots of cOlorCd voters.
On being demonstrated with, fer such
conduct, he changed the form Of his
requisition, ana stated to the voters
that they were not compelled to show
their ballots, but they could let him in
spcct them if they so desired. This was
within less than ten feet Of the polls.
Such conduct, coming from an officer
whose duty should have been Oniy.to
preserve peace and to prevent undue
influence from being used upon voters,
is deserving of the scvcrcst condcmna-
ton. lie is y deputy sheriff, and the
negroes look upon him rs having almost
unbounded authority, and Il request
even from him as equivalent to Il COM
nland.
There were many negroes who took
the Fusion ticket with the sincere and
honest intention Of voting it, but it
was taken from them before they had
an opportunity of depositing it. There
were several Instances Of coiOrcd voters
being laughed and jecrod at by the
Radical ncgros because they had Fusion
tickets and desired to vote them. This
was carried to such an extent that at
one time the commissioners had to in
terferc to prevent Il disturbance.
Such conduct as this requires no
comment.
The ballot box ut FilhioI was sent
down locked, and was returned with
the lock off. At Lylcs's there was no
poll opened, but the voters either went
to Brannon's or came to Monroe, and
voted.
At Trenton many Of the negroes de-
clared that they were sworn to vote
the straight Radical ticket. Those who
were under solemn pledges to vote for
Democrats and wanted to do SO, went
to the polls like vcritablc slaves and
Their very souls seemed to be in lu-
rcss. What, with this state of affairs
