a CASE FOR RANDBLL HUNT.

The attention .of Counselor Randell
Hunt, who is so keenly anxious that the
voice Of the people" should prevail as to
almost shed tears over the mere fact that
the election Of his friend John McEnery
is brought in question, is directed to the
manner in which the majority Of which
be boasts was obtained. For Illustration
a single one from a score of similarly
treated parishes will suffice, and We take
the case of East Baton Rouge as nearest
at hand.
4 full registration was had IN 1870, but
under the prctext that the old books were
lost, Il new one was ordered this year,
There are about three colored voters to
one white in East Baton Rouge, but the
Democratic supervisor adopted rule that
one OF each class should be registered
alternately by opening his Office late
and dosing early, ignoring the hours
fixed by law, he worked directly against
the laboring class (coiored men Irinci-
palIyN ana managed to reduce the num-
Der registered Per day from one hundred
and fifty at which he opened, to about
fifty, although he never shut his Office
without leaving a crowd Of colored men
waiting to he granted their rights, out
side Of the city Of Baton Rouge he failed
IN his appointments with the people, and
when Le aid open his books it was but for
brief periods and at ineligible points. BY
these means the supervisor succeeded in
getting al the whites enrolled. but ex-
clnaed Aun2reds upon hundreds IT 81.

FRIENDLY NATION s.

The President admits with pleasure 10
the spectacle Of all the great powers in
amity with this republic. England is
especially congratulated upon her fairness
in abiding by the late award and her
s:alacrity'' in paying the sum adjudlcated.
Her prompt settlement Of the boundary
question is also commended. and the
national thanks are extended to those
great potentates who 50 far recognize the
Importance Of the United States as to sit
as umpires in her affairs. TO those who
have sneaking tenderness Tor the institu-
tons of other lands these facts should
present a subject for considerate reflection.
A few colonies tore away from q mother
monarchy. They resisted all attempts at
subiugation They were Tidiculed as want
ING in all the attributes Of civilization.
The innate courage and integrity Of
these republicans soon created q
government so attractive that the
subjects Of the great powers began to see
the immense advantages, so they com
menced to immigrate on such scale as
soon to add immensely to the wealth and
numbers Of the republic. Then came q
fratricidal war, which, however disastrous
in its domestic consequences, impressed
foreign nations with the proves and re
sources Of those who waged L, and then
followed the extraordinary development,
Of agriculture and commerce, which show
ed that the decline and fall Of the Roman
republic furnished no example to the rise
and progress Of the American republic.
So the great powers have given this thing
up as not to be explained by history or
precedent, and have fallen in with all the
world to swell the glory OF our government
and people with their accIamations, It is
to Je hoped that soon the whole American
people will be reconciled. When in 1875
the whole people celebrate the centenary
of freedom, while all foreign nations send
embassies Of congratulation, not one son
or citizen Of the republic VIII abstain from
the feast with the bitter feeling that tile
pa8chaI lamb slain in commenaoration OF
proyidential deliverance from the tyranni-
cal tasllmasters of Europe is interdicted
to him alone Of al the tribes gathered in
thanksgiving upon that solemn occasion.

ire The upshot Of this rather overesti-
mated exploit viii be made known in a
very short tirne-probably to-day
Yesterday We witnessed legal flank
movement in the Eighth District Court,
on the occasion of Mr.. Bovee presenting
himself and asking for an executory orderin
the case involving a contest for the office
Of Secretary Of State. He was armed
with tie mandate Of the Supreme Court,
but failed to bring documentary evidence
to prove that the highest tribunal il the
State had the formal right to make final
decree. The presumption that the pro
cesses Of the Supreme Court are issued
pro forma did not appear to exist in the
Eighth District Court, and Judge Elmore
adjourned 50 there was no time to send
for proof.
We can not regard this in any other
light than contempt Of the Supreme
Court, whose mandate was thus queS-

Ion1s1LNA VOTES FOR GRANT.

DR.. II. F. Bonzano, Jules Lanabere,
Charles E. Halstead, DR.. L, c. Roudanez,
A. K. johnson, Milton Morris, DR.. Joseph
Taylor and John Ray, State electors, met
yesterday in the Lieutenant Governors
room at the Capitol, according to law, and
cast the vote Of this State for .. S. Grant
for President. DR.. Roudanez was chosen
messenger to carry the result Of the cleo
ton to Washington.
The fact that the returning board has
given certificates Of election to the Grant
electors strengthens our hopes, almost to
conviction, that they will find that KEEL
logg and the whole Republican State
ticket has also been successful. This is
nothing astonishing, however, in State
with clear Republican majority of TWEEN
ty-fve thousand.
Another body, also styling themselves
electors, met about the same time in the
Senate Chamber, but We did not learn, up
the time Of writing this, what was the re
suit Of their cogitaions.

UNTRUE AND PALTRYS

The Times persists in disappearing
the public issues now eliminating. 1t says
that the Supreme Court decreed that Her
ron never has been Secretary Of State,
which is false: and therefore its conclusion
that Heron neyey had legal right to APP
point J.ong5tyees and Hawkins is also
false
The Supreme Court decided that Her
ron had been Secretary of State perhaps
under an erroneous decision of subordi-
nate court-but still legal Secretary of
State for a certain time. His action as de
facto Secretary Of State is therefore binding
as regards the election TO fill vacancies on
the returning board. So long as the de-
cision settling Heron in his place was on
appeal 20 the Supreme Court his acts
were undoubtedly legal.
Its iubilation that Judge Gilmore had
lodged Judge DurelTs writ o! "ertiorari
by dismissing all the suits pending in the
Eighth District Court, may also prove
premature and ill-timed. There has been
a very powerful argument made to the
effect that the ''promuigation Of the act OF
1872" did not abolish 'the returning
board existing under the old law" On
the contrary, it is contended that public
contest between different parties in the
State had been made under the old law,
which partool5 Of the nature Of tacit
agreement to abide by the results, and
that these results are a vested right OF the
successful contestant. Can this great pub
lie contract be set aside by the losing
party because it has the power to promul-
gate shelved and musty bill? This sort
Of reasoning partakes neither of law nor
equity. 1t is Of tricks the trickiest, and
the country VIII 50 declare and main
tain it.
