President Grant G Congratulated
Possible Cabinet Changes.

WASHINGTON, November 6.--Those who
have 'conversed with the President and his
more intimate friends in Washington during
the mast month will remember that they uni
for,nIy predicted such result of the presl-
Dental election "a has just occurred Ihey
seemed to possess data from gentlemen III
different parts of the country which Justified
them in their hopes ana prospects, NO" Auhs
realized
The President to-day received calls of con-
graduation, in addition to numerous tele-
grams of greeting, and also announcing re-
suits. He expressed thanks to his guests for
these manifestations of friendship, and, apart
from the political principles involved, said he
was gratified that the people had vindicated
his private character, which had been as
sailed during the canvass.
That there will be at least one change in
the Cabinet at the commencement of the
next presidential term there is no question.
1t is known that Secretary Fish, has repeat
eddy expressed his wish to be relieved from
the position of Secretary of State. This de-
sire will be gatifed at the end of the present
term. There is probability OF change OF
Attorney General Judge Williams recently
remarked to some friends that, although he
could have been elected Senator from Oregon,
he declined beIsg a candidate in order that
he might remain in his present oihcs.
There is good reason for stating that any
remarks with regard to other members
of the Cabinet would be mere specu-
lation, but it may be said that the commits
sions of all Of them win expire on the close
of the present term, thus necessitating new
| commissions to those serving as Cabinet OIL
GERS after the fourth of March next.

action in the future reforms and measures
of the administration, further than his init
nation to-day that he will 80 shape his Off
| cial conduct as to meet the expectations O
| the country and to unite the people in the
strongest bonds ofpeace while by all means
in his power promoting their welfare a.

The End Not Yet.

We understand that the late cleo
ton in this parish will be contested,
by the counted out candidates, before
the United States Court, on the
ground of fraud, or omission OF duty,
on the part of the Registrar. How tar
this charge is well grounded and
will prove effective, remains yet to be
proved, but that there is grounds for
it is acknowledged, and asserted by
gentlemen of this parish, outside OF
the Republican Party, whose integre-
ty and honor is above question or dis
pute.
That hundreds of legally qualified
electors, were swindled out of regis
rration, by one device or another, is
plain and palpable as the light of the
day, and has been openly boosted OF
by the Registrar and his inscriptions
supporters, and justified by precedent
in the Republican party.
Notwithstanding all these opposing
elements, the Republican party OF Ia
pides, might have been in the main
successful, had it not been for the
blind stupidity and folly OF those
leaders in it who controlled the color
ed vote, and who insisted IN every
case, except where they could not pos
sibly help themselves, in nominating
colored men to Offices, which they were
in no possible respect, qualified to fill
A combination or compromise was
twice, to our knowledge offered them
by which they could have elected the
majority, to the most important offices
of the parish, but they obssinately re
jected it, and in the main we are glat
that they are given a lesson which
whether OF not they avail themselves
of, is what they wanted, and which
they will have to learn thoroughly be
tore they can hope for any success
We wish to be understood perfectly
we do not countenance illegal meas
ures to elect or defeat any one, but w
are utterly and entirely opposed t
electing men to Office, who have no
the first essential qualification TO
what they aspire to, and in their de
feat we shall have the consolation tina
ADLER men are supplanting them, for
the choice has to be made, give us a
any time kNare even, before a foo
although of course We make no pei
sOnal illusions.

WE MCsT Nor BE CHEArgp-From the cyl
dence placed in the hands of the United
States authorizes we think there can be no
doubt that immense frauds in registration
have been committed, as well as more direct,
if not more easily proven, frauds in the con-
duct of the polling. Ten thousand, more o.
less, affidavits have been made, in complains
with the enforcement act of Congress, by par
ties denied enrolment as voters. These are
all made by Republicans, and as they have
generally attached to them proof that the
atlantis were voters in the same precincts
where not rejected two years ago, il seems
conclusive that their statements of their
grievances are correct.
This point, however, must finally be decid-
ed by niger authority but that the most
earnest endeavor to secure these thousands Of
Republicans proper representations viii BE-
made, we are not permitted to doubt.
The alleged ballot box stuffiing in this city,
Jefferson parish, st. Helena and elsewhere We
care not to comment up until the courts
have developed the whole truth, but we shall
as earnestly strive to secure the pnrity of the
ballot as least as did the Democrats last Janu-
airy.
Louisiana is Republican State. A majori-
ty even of her white people, left untrammeled,
would keep her so. The will of he people in
this respect has our fullest sympathy and
heartiest support.-[M q. Republioam.

The ELECTIoN.--As in New Or
leans at the last dates received, SO it
is here that all sorts OF reports are cir
culated, as to the general result of the
late election, each party claiming 1t by
a small majority, but the fact is moth
ing definite was known at the date
referred to, EXCEPT that frauds had an-
doa5tedly been committed, sohich scoald
as undoubtedly, be rerealed and remi-
died. The N. o. Republican, as much
to be relied on as any other political
paper in that city, closes an article on
the election in these hopeful words:
Need Republicans despondf We say, EN-.
phatically, no! Victory is theirs-in the State
certain, in the city probably. From sixteen
to eighteen thousand Republican tickets went
into the ballot boxes in the parish of Orleans
on November a. We have confidence they
will yet be found there. Not till every hon
est, vote is counted, and every fraudulent vote
checked off, can we believe that the Republi
cans have been defeated.

Bon WIRE ICI.-There is pretty
good living to be had in Alexandria
now by those who have the necessary
pre- requisites for IFS enjoyment. The
market is plentifully stocked with the
finest and latest beef, mutton and
pork, and loads of tat ducks, geese
and other wild fowl are coming in daily
from Catahoula Lake. Fall vegeta-
bles are scarce, as the drought has in
terfered with FAN gardens. We no
tiee a few turnips are brought in.
Plenty of sweet potatoes, and in fact
of irish also, though these with every
other edible brought from the city,
Notwithstanding the low price they
can be bought for there, sell so high
here in consequence of low water and
high freights, that but few can afford
to buy them. Such times as these
show the necessity of railroads, need
which we are afraid we will suffer
from Tor some time longer, as things
look at the time of writing this.

TRIcKERY WILL AVAIL NOT.-By figures
that IRE hourly proven incorrect the Times en-
deavors to impress on the public mind con-
viction that Mr.. Kellogg's vote for Governor
will fall materially short OF that thrown in
favor Of General Grant for President. 1t is
whispered around that cunning scheme of
fraud is hereby attempted to be covered up
1t now makes no material difference how
Louisiana's vote is cast in the election college,
and by letting it 90 fer Grant the Democratic
managers hope in measure to disprove the
urany well sustained allegations Of cheating
the Republicans State ticket out of its Just
dues.
The Times makes o similar attempt in the
contest between Beauregard and Burke, keep
ing tally for the latter ahead, no matter how
the ballots counted ont may show to the con-
trary. On Sunday, however, it seems a new
and unrestricted reporter must have been
sent to duty at Mechanics Institute, for while
its regular tahnlar statement still keeps Burke
in the lead, the writer of the Introductory
comments innocently confesses that he has
fallen two hundred votes behind his dis
tinguished military rival
Whatever hopes the organ of the fusioaists
may have of seeing successfully counted out
Messrs. Kellogg, Beauregard or Others, we as
sure it may as well be laid on the dead shelf;
for it is determined, beyond reasonable donbt
that the State has gone Republican, and means
are already provided for careful, thorough
and impartial revision should, by bogus re.
turns, any other showing be presented. The
will OF the people is in favor of an honest cleo.
