Democrats and their allies-of
Louisiana, with Governor Warmoth
at their head, finding it impossible
to secure a majority in the late elec-
tion upon a fair expression Of the
wishes Of the legal voters Of the
State, refused to count the votes Of
between fourteen and fifteen thous-
and colonel voters, and even then
only hada majority of about twelve
thousand. The Republican candi-
dates who were thus counted out
Of the Legislature took the matter
into the Courts and obtained a de-
cision in their favor. Wamoth
and lis friends, acting in accordance
with the traditionary policy of the
Democracy, did not propose to sub

In order to enforce its mandate it
became necessary, therefore, to call

story Of "a Trunk.

We heard a touching story of a
wite's influence and husbands eX-
ample this morning. a gentleman
in this city whose better half is con-
silerably younger than himselt-in
fact he is old enough to be her father
became quite Jealous OF her on ac-
count of disposition he had discover
ed in her to tlirt with men. He could
charge her with no absolute wrong,
hut her continued coquetry eMsperat-
ed him to such an extent that, in fit
of wrath, he came home one day and
declared they must separate.
They were boarding, and he said
she might stay there, but he would
pack up his things and get out. Her
conduct was unbearable, he said, and
he wouldn't be tortured any more,
So he flew around and gathered up
his effects with view TO packing
them III his trunk.
The work of packing up begun,
when his wife. who had been weep
Ing. fell upon his neck with choking
sobS and lamentations, begging that
he would reconsider his vote on con-
struction and not take the desperate
step he meditated.
The husband filtered a little at this.
He became confused. and instead of
packing his best breeches in his trunk
he tried to stun them inside of his
vest. Then lie laid his handkerchief
carefully away in the trunk, and blew
his nose in abox ofpapers-collars. His
wite's tears at length conquered. and
he relented. He discontinued pack
ing up to pack Oft, and they embraced
and made up.
1t was not long after the reconcilia-
ton, however, before he caught his
wife chatting and laughing most vol
ubly with Fourth street dry goods
clerk, 4 young and handsome fellow,
and his Jealous wrath returned with
greater force than ever. This time he
certainly would be off. He hurried
home, and when, shortly after, his
wife followed him. she found him
with his trunk packed and he in the
act of locking it.
Then the previous scene was re-en-
acted, only it was OF longer dua-
tion. 1t required greater quantity
of tears, more and more earnest Ell
treaties and sighs of much greater size
to melt him this time. lie melted
though, and the trunk was again un-
packed.
But there came yet another aud
more aggraVating cause for the old
fellows Jealousy. 1t really looked
this time as though it would be three
times and ont, or rather off. lie had
been away from the city, and he learn
ed Oh his return that every night
during his absence she had been seen
at the theater with the good-looking
clerk aforesaid. Tears and protesta-
tions of innocence were of no avail
then. While they were going on he
continued packing his trunk in the
most deliberate and artistic manner.
The experience In packing that trunk
was made available. He economical
space SO well there was room left, and
lie asked her saIrastically if there was
any little thing of hers she would like
to pack away there to keep things

alabama and louisiana Troubles.

ISNNlNOA VII tuA0 SOtSt iloiu eiiV A~noo
are very obscure and incomplete,
and hence quite unsatisfactory, The
statements of the political troubles
which have been tretting the tates
of .Alabama and Louisiana, are
cases in point. Just enough has
been received to show that trouble
of an aggayating and serious char
acter has existed in those common
wealths, but its exact nature, on,
rather, the causes producing the
evils, have not been clearly set
forth. Latterly, more correct III
formation las been given, which is
about as follows: In Alabama,
the recent election gave the Repl'b-
licans a majority of seven on JOINT
ballot, BY choosing seventeen sena-
tors and titty-three Representatives,
the Legislature when full being
composed of thirty-three Senator's
and one hundred Representatives..
The Democrats, however, detem-
ined they would obtain control Of
the Legislature. TO promote this
object, an unlawful count Of the
votes for Barbour aud Aarengo
counties was made, by the Eemo-
cratic Lieutenant Governor, and by
this fraud two Republican Senator's
and six Republican members, law
fully elected in these couLties, were
rejected, and certificates were issued
to the Democratic contestants. The
Secretary of State, however, gave
certificates of election to the reject
ed members. As the constitution
Of Alabama does not stipulate any
particular place in Montgomery
where the Legislature shall meet,
and as the members shown to be
elected by the Secretary Of State
could not meet with the Senator's
and members returnedby the Lieut..
Governor without virtually
ing the pretended legality Of their
appointment, they separated from
the Democrats, leaving. them to
the occupancy of the State lIo'se,
while they met III the Court House,
Each of these bodies claimed q
lawful majority Of the Legislature.
A great deal Of bandyingot words
and threatening have been in-
dulged, the Democrats threatening
to turn ont certain Grant Electors,
pledging to refuse seats to certain
other members elect, and boasting
of their backing Of 10000 men,
and 50 on. Latterly their threat
enings have extended to impeacn
Ing all State official, the latter being

Legislature as tie layful ole, and
domestic violence being threatened,
in accordance with his privilege and
lutyas all executive, has called upon
the General Government to assist
in suppressing it. The Coustitll-
tional duty OF the President in such
. case, gives him 10 alternative but
to acquiesce. Attorney General
Williams in the meantime has sug-
gested a compromise which both
parties seem to regard with favor
The compromise is stated by the
Oregoniam to be as follows:
"That all those Of both these bod

have certificates of election, meet
together, and orgarize as the Leg
