THE LOUISIANA TROUBLE.

case" which is equally applicable to
any other State in the Union, as fol-
lows: ..
"If the people of Michigan, for in
stance, should experience an unexpecte
ed change of heart, and viewing with
proper alarm the frauds, usurpations
and generally disgraceful conduct OF
Congress and the President, should de.
eide, two years from now, to elect q
Governor upon an anti-administration
platform, and should elect, say Austin
Blair over Governor Bsgley by twenty
thousand majority; after the returns
should be made in due form and Mr..
Blair declared elected by the proper
State authorities, suppose the Gus
tom-house authorities and other lo-
cal adherents OF the administration
should trump up a number Of docu-
ments purporting to be signed oy peo-
pie in various parts OF the State, who
LOT some TedbOu ulu uOb WV oos " N
swear that if they had voted they
would have favored Bagley; and sup
pose on the strength of these things an
illegally constituted board should der
clare Bagley elected, and that there
should be a drunken miserable United
States Judge near by to confirm the de-
cision, Then let President Grant,
through the Attorney General, telegraph
a recognition OF Bagley and send Ma
tional troops to the capital to see that
he is installed. Let the President then
insult our people when they hold a
meeting and appoint delegation OF one
hundred of our most responsible citizens
to proceed to Washington and lay the
case fairly before him, by informing
them that he has made up his mind and
will hold no parley upon the subject;
and let him persist in his course until
at length he issues proclamation
commanding all signs OF discomfort to
cease. We think by the time all this
should be done the people would begin
to doubt the fact Of this being a Repuo'

Arrested for Forgery.
A few days ago Capt. Robert Kreps
was arrested in this city for drunken.
ness, and lodged in Central police sta
tion; on his person were found $780,
in currency; he was fined and released.
The following day he deposited this
money with the clerk for safe keeping,
but as be was constantly applying
for small amounts and giving checks at
all hours for Insignificant sums, it
was found to be too much trouble to
keep his account, and he was compelled
to take his money away. He depos-
tied it in the German National Bank.
He has a number of friends who
"bum" off him. This morning one of
the Captains friends, John Jones, put
on the Captains hat and coat, and
taking his cane walked down to the
bank, where he represented that he was
the vertable Captain Kreps himself. He
was set down as q counterfeiter and a
check was filled out and handed him
for his signature. When he affixed the
false autograph an officer was sent for
and Jones captured and taken to the
lookup for a hearing as q forger.

Moore OF Uniontown, and on the Goth

the marriage in this city, the exposure
of which led to the arrest. The victim
belongs to one OF the most respectable
families in Fayette county. I
A few days ago a woman named

tory, on charge OF an attempt to MUIR
der a man named Haley. She has

THE climate of South Africa IS re-
ported to be wonderfully salubrious. A
correspondent says:
"As to health not doctor can sub
sist in this locality, and nobody has
been known to die here" This may
sound rather over drawn, but at vii
lage called Pinetown. about twelve
miles from the port OF Durben, not one
single death occurred for period OF
ten years. This is confirmed not only
by the Register Generals report, but
also by the testimony Of residents In
the place. There is an old German
there who is known to be one hundred
and nine years old, and except being q
little "hard o hearing" has all his fac
ulties unimpsred. l suppose that no

There is sufficient authority for stat
