ALEXANDRIA, LA.
Wednesday, November IS, 1873.

% The bogus election, ordered
by Antoine, for u vacancy which has
never existed, turned out in Rapides
to be worse than q farce. The lead
ers of the Radical party here, who
have their faithful forces always
perfectly drilled and well in hand,
left no stone unturned to bring them
to the polls, but all to no avail. For
the first time the ever faithful oolored
man and brother, could not see it and
actually refused to vote, and thus tot
tiers to the ground the baseless fabric
of Radical tricks and frauds.
The vote at the Alexandria box
fools up only 8 votes! In Pineville
q still smaller one was polled, and at
the other three precincts we do not
believe any polls were open. Amore
complete failure and acknowledge
ment of wrong on the part of the
masses Of the Radical party never be-
fore occurred. What u commentary
for Congress in our case.

The Cuban Question.

tured on board the Eirginins has
aroused feeling Of intense iniig-
nation not only in this country but
in Europe. Vengeance on the per-
pctratocs Of this inhuman outrage
lis called for on all sides. 81.
And yetit will not do to move too
hastily in a matter Of so much Sc
robustness. There are laws and
usages Of actions which regulate
questions Of this nature, from
Which it will not DO to depart. If
there were American citizens OH
board, ignorant Of the destination
of the vessel, then their murder is
a crime which this country should
take immediate steps to avenge.-
Ii. Oh the other hand, the men had
enlisted for the purpose OF making
war on country with which we are
at peace, then their citizenship was
forfeited, and they rendered them
selves liable to be punished accor-
ding to the laws Of war. This was
the view taken in the Lopez case in
1851, when Capt. Crittendea and
more than fifty men, claiming to be
Americans, were massacred on GU
ban soil, without their death being
made q cause Of war by tie q. S.

But, it seems to US, that there is a
more serious question behind q II
these, which would Justify our gov
eminent in intervening in this Cuban
business. That question is, whether
nations calling themselves civilized,
shall, in this century, bepermitted 10
wage war after tho manner Of barba-
rians. It is the aim Of all christian
nations to so carry On war as 70 miti-
gate its horrors as far as consistent
with their own safety. It is
against the genius Of the ace to
butcher men in cold blood when their
arms have been taken from them.
The ''morst christian" government Of
Spain needs q severe lesson on this
subject. asr
The President cannot do anything
more than recommend measures, I'M
Ill Congress shall convene and take
hold Of the subject. We hope that
Congress, alser surveying the situa-
ton calmly, may find that the time
has come to put an end to the hor-
rors of which the Island OF Cuba has
SO long been the theatre. e Spain
cannot govern the Island any better
than she has hitherto done, then it
behooves civilized nations to wrest it
from her.

CRUELTY.-Nearly every boy in
town owns dog, large or small,
and most any time a day some of
them can be seen upon the street
with one Of these animals harnessed
and hitched to sleigh, and in many
instances the poor animal is made
to draw load of ten ines his own
weight, with boy from six to twen-
ty years of age piled on the top of
that, with a whip to encourage"
his canine servant to a faster pace.
a dog is all right in it's place, but
we have our doubts about the Lord
intending him to be abused in this
cruel manner. True, large dog is
able to do considerable work, but
the hitching up of small animals to
draw a great lubberly boy of 14O
pounds weight is what we call
"cruclty to animals" and should be
stopped at once.

SUIDIDE At EAST TAwAs.-A
painful suicide occurred i'm East
Tawas on Friday last. On that
evening Mrs. Fanny Wakefield
went to the store of Page & Bu-
chanan and bought a dollars worth
Of morphine and some trinkets.-
Shortly afterwards she gave the
trinxets to some of her friends, tel
ling them that they would probably
never see her again. Bidding
them goodbye she went to the
place where she had been stopping,
where she wrote some letters, Civ
ing directions what should be done
with her effects, and also giving
reasons for destroying herself. She
said she had nothing to live for,
that her life had become a burden
to her and to others. She then
took the fatal dose. She seemed to
be perfectly sane at the time the
act was committed. 1t appears
that she contracted a loathsome dis
ease from her husband, who died
from its effects last summer. This
was, perhaps, the real cause of the
sad affair.-Bdy city Journal

night before, there being suspi-
cion in the minds Of some people
easily frightened, that it was small
pox. This idea was probably due
to the fact that Mr.. Goodenow
came from Alpena short time ago.
There was not, however, the slight
est ground for such q suspicion.
The disease was correctly stated
yesterday morning. Had it been
smallpox, it would have been read
lily known to many who saw the de-
ceased before and after death"
In another paragraph the same
paper thus speaks of his last mo-
ments, and the removal of the re-
mains to their last resting place:
"The remains of the late w. +.
Goodenow were yesterday taken in
charge by his brother-in-law, who
left with them by the j. l.. d S.
Railroad in the afternoon for Iona,
where they are to be buried by the
side of his mother. Mr.. Goode-
now's malady came upon him very
suddenly and violently. He had
left Alpena because of the prevail
ence of the smallpox there, having
several times unsuccessfully tried
to have vaccine matter work upon
him. In his delirium during his
brief illness here, he was possessed
of the belief that he h; d the small
pox, and was constantly calling up
on DR.. Wheeler, who attended him,
to remove him to the pest house.
This painful delusion remained un-
til his death, with the qnick occur
renee Of which his fear Of the dread
disease undoubtedly had much to
do"
