ELECTION IN LOUISIANA.

NKw YoRK, November 5--The news
from New Orleans of the election in the
State of Louisiana, yesterday, as indi'
Gated BY special dispatches to the differ
ent New York morning journals, are OF
very contradictory character. The
latest dispatches, dated at midnight
SAYS the counting was then going on an
a slow manner, and it was then estl
mated that the Liberal ticket had been
elected in the city by about 1000 and
Greeley's majority in the State was ex
nected TO reach between $4,000 anc
Is 900. The negroes cast heavier vote
than was anticipated The Liberals
will elect the entire State and Parish
ticket, and gain Of ons Congressmain
in the First District. .F
Beauregard has been beaten for city
administrator of improvement by Burke.
Liberal specials from New Orleans to
the Times claim the Stats for the Repuo'
hcans BY from fifteen to twenty taop'
sand. while the Tribune's special dis
matches claim that the Liberals have
carried the State by twenty thousand.
All accounts agree thst Il viii be several
days before enough is positively kppwn
to show the result.

NEW YORK.

New York, November 5.-The weather
this morning is clear. The present in
dications are that heavy vote will be
polled; the polling places opened at six
o clock, and we're soon crowded with
voters anxious to cast their ballot before
proceeding to work. 1t is thought that
a large vote will be polled before noon,
as most of the mechanics are compelled
either to vote early in the day or lose
their opportunity of exercising their
right Of franchise. The polls open at
six in the morning and close at four in
the afternoon--in consequence Of which
many workmen have to lose part Of a
days work in order to vote.
VIM. F. Havemeyer, Republican can
didate for mayor. publishes card this
morning contradicsing the runner that
he has withdrawn his name from the
present canvass. A. B. Lawrence, the
Liberal and Tammany candidate fol
the same Office, also publishes card
refuting the assertion that he had with
drawn from the contest.
The decentralization for some time pas
existing among the medical staff, nurses
and attendants connected with the Lu
matte Asylum on Wards island reached
its elimination yesterday in the resigna
ton of nearly all the physicians auG
other attaches OF the institution. The
alleged cause is the action of the medi
cal director who iRstigated the recent in
vestigation.

latter drew his revolver and fred at the
sergeant, accidentally shooting and in
SANITY killing one Philip Degreve, an
habituAl Iodger. who was sitting on the

mission.
A difficulty occurred yesterday be
tween one RAINY Cassonive and his wife
Veliua Cassonive. The man was intox-
ieated. aud discharged shotgun loaded
with bird shot, at his wife, when the
shot took effect in both shoulders of his
niece, Oetavia Hsmlin. The wounds are
not dangerous.
Nothing more is known of the result
of the election in the State or city. 1t
is known that General Beauregard, for
administrator of iPproEements, is badly
defeated, and that Lewis, colored Repub-
Iican, has been elected to that important
trust

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, November 5.-The rainy
weather to-day continues favorable to
the spread Of the horse disease. In con-
sequence, the Common Council last eve
ming voted to allow dummy engines to be
used on the streets; provided they shopld
not be allowed more than FIVE cents per
trip. The steam railroads will nearly
all run frequent trains to the suburbs.
Oxen are coming into use rapidly. But
few horses have yet died. ,GA-- r
A very large vote will probably be cast
to-day. The weather and horse disease
combined have released thousands from
occupation. Cook county will undosbt-
eddy give Republican majority. Both
parties claim this city, but the Republic
cans are probably ahead. The temper

An Elephant Ihat would Rather

From the Little Rock Republican,
Cooper's circus was bl led 70 SHOW In
Dardanelle Monday. Sunday the show
began 10 cross the river at Norristown, q
short distance above Dardanelle. The
ferry was simply tiat-bost arrangement,
and, of course, necessarily slow and te-
dious in transferring so large an exhibit
ton as Coopers is. All went well, how
ever, until the elephant, Titania, was
to cross. Usually very docile, and one
Of the best performing beasts in the
country as soon as his foot touched the
frail ferry he recoilsd. He seemed fear
full to trust his immense carcass on the
crazy craft. All manner Of entreaty was
used, threats were made, and even eie-
phantine punishment administered, but
all was of no avail. He would none Of IT.
Here was a dilemmal How could the

Every one seconded the happy thought,

Everything vorkedto charm, and the

The election to-day viii do much to
ward settling the boundary lines of par
ties for some years to come. Grant may
be elected, but we have the assurance
Of Maynard that his party means only
peace and good will toward all men.
Alcorn and Bingham said the same, and
General Hall, Of Maine, took pains to
say in the most solemn manner that he
was authorized by the late soldiers Of
the Union army and the representative
Republicans of Maine aud of New Eng
land to send greeting to the Southern
people, and to assure them that no one
had any grudge against them or enter
tanned spark of malice. 1t was as
much as to say, You Confederates
ought to vote for Grant. and if you will
only do SO, we will freely pardon you
and take you into the bosom Of our
party; you will be on an equality with
the rest of US, only you must not run for
Office against any of US original Repub-
licans." But say what we may, an over
whelming defeat of Greeley and Brown
would SO disgust many of the young
practical men of the opposition that
they would probably stand aloof from
politics for many years, while the old
time politicians would step forward and
take hand, and would drive of more
adherents than they could bring. The
name Democrat is not acceptable to
some who are known as such, and it is
possible that they will ally themselves
with the opposition to Grants admins
tration, regardless of party nomen-
clature. The name Democrat hap
pened to be convenient just after
the war, but the old Wing party in
the South really was as full of life
and strength as the Democratic element
that had in one section of the Union a
small Organization that at q later day
assumed greater proportions. The idea
that the old Democratic party had come
to life was a misfortune to the new one
bearing the name, for it had to bear the
sins Of Others who had escaped the con-
sequences Of their OWE mistakes. The
national Democratic party has almost
lost its position; it is maintained for
local and State purposes, but might as
appropriately be styled the Wing party
as anything else. Republicanism has
likewise lost its significance; the term
means centralisn and the administra.
ton. The term represents Grant only
and not any particular principle or lin,
of policy, unless suggested by persona
interests. But the faction in power vii
probably dictate its own name, and claim
10 be Republican for many years, whil'
the elements Of opposition will be read.
