PROVING UP THE RESULT.

1t was not necessary to prove that the
Republicans carried the State of Louisi-
ana, as Mr.. Leet has done in his faithful
compilation of the frauds by which that
result was sought to be avoided,
but it is proper to do SO
in order that our friends may not
think badly of US, and that our enemies
may not consider their loss as a real one.
Mr.. Leet has performed this work in
such manner that we can now afford to
leave our case in the hands Of the public,
since those who will not believe upon this
evidence would not believe upon any.
1t will be seen by reference to the state
ments presented in the compilation made
by Mr.. Leet, that in certain parishes the
negroes were denied the opportunity to
register in various ways; that in other
parishes they were cheated by various
representations out OF their votes; they
were rudely driven from the registration
offices in some places and from the cleo
ton polls in others; and that where these
lodges did not meet the wants Of the OPP
position, it boldly stuffed the ballot boxes,
as in Jefferson parish, or falsihed the re-
turns, as in Baton Rouge.
Aggregating the facts set forth and the
victory of the Republicans in Louisiana is
established to the satisfaction Of every
unprejudiced citizen. It was not neces-
sary that this evidence should have been
produced, for the results that were de-
clared have been successfully established;
but in justice to those Of our friends in
the North who read so much scandal about
the overthrow Of government in Louis
lana, and who meet SO many dyspeptic
looking emissarieS III their midst asking
for assistance from the iron heel Of des
potiSm, the Republicans of Louisiana con-
cluded to defend themselves by present.
ing the true relation of affairs. From
these facts it will be seen that the return
ing board, which made up its compilation
from the chest evidence it could find, y
rather reduced the Republican majority
than exaggerated it.

OUR MEDICAL SCHOOLS.

In & conversation with one of the most
prominent members Of the medical pro-
fession, we asked his opinion on the pro-
fessional merits of the late DR.. Warren
Stone. His great strength said he, laid
in his minute observations, and prompt
applications of what he had seen. He
rarely wrote, and spoke without iuency,
but his perceptions were distinct and con-
veyed with that practical common sense
which is the great basis of success in any
profession. Though mot germane to our
inquiry, he added, DR.. Stone was sincere,
honest and kind hearted man. He was a
loss to the profession, to the public, and
especially to the poor.
Our conversation continued upon the
state of medical education at our schools
Another medical gentleman remarked A.;
There are no medical institutions organized
with higher professional ability, in many
of their departments, than our own. There
are none where the advantages of clinical
lectures and practice compare with ours,
for the student intending to pursue his
profession at the South. Yet, headed, not
a large number of our students come from
east of the Mississippi, and perhaps our
best patronage is derived from Texas.
These remarks suggested Che impor
lance of proficient education in a CONNER
cial as well as social view If Philadel-
phia and New York educate three thou
sand physicians year, it would leave in
those cities certainly $1,000, 900 per an
nUug without estimating the books, medi-
cines and instruments which these young
sawbones would purchase, and the per-
petual tribute they would pay the apothe-
carries and cutters thereafter. Where do
the physicians of all Spanish America re-
ceive their diplomas? At Paris, Berlin,
Edinburg New York, Philadelphia-eyery
where except at New Orleans. And
why should not these men who guard the
health of the tropics seek a city
whose physicians practice daily in
the diseases Of their own climate? Why
90 to Paris or New York when
the type Of disease differs SO much from
that Of Central South or inSular America?
We should think it must be only because
the advantages of our schools in New Or
leans are not made known abroad as they
might De. There is combined with this
subject another Dt much Importance to
Uylg city. We haze chemical laboratories
here capable os compromising any drugs
required in materia medicas Why may
not the medical and dye woods Of the
tropics 6e $40 well coHceZtrated here IS
elsewhere? Our pharmacopists are nearer
the raw supply-they have she command
of 2000O,000 people above them in the
valley.
With thea organization OF steam lines
from New Orleans to all points south Of
US, and with some notifications of our
commercial treaties, which We have a right
to hope for from recent indications, New Or
leans may soon establish such a comnolni-
cation with the countries referred to as
will ILL our medical and other schools
with students, and open daily commerce
in the precious commodities of the South
seas. Why should not our faculty Of
medical education make some efforts Tor

DEATH FROM NATURAL CAUSES,

The failure of Brick Pomeroy's Demo-
erat, the Washington Patriot and the New
Orleans Times, under its recent manage
ment, illustrates the necessity of depending
upon truth as a basis of success. The
first named paper pandered to depraved
tastes in the sensational line until it
reached a eliminating point, when it fell
more rapidly than it rose The Patriot,
during its short career, never published
sentence that was calculated to ennoble
and benefit mankind, while the Times was
a notorious panderer to the lowest pas
sions Of the vulgar multitude. They all
died for want of adherence to truth and
honesty. As usual in such cases, there is
an attempt to gull trusting Democrats to
put up another hundred thousand dollar
pool to run the Patriot but the burnt
children of that faith fight shy. AS to our
own failure, some accommodation may be
effected by which the paper will be con-
tinued after fashion, but its power for
evil is gone.

What has become Of the Senate bill of
the last session granting a subvention for
postal service between New Orleans and
Vera Cruz? 1t was upon the Speakers
table of the House of Representatives, and
should, we suppose, have come up for pas
sage at an early day Of the session. The
government should respond to the ports of
the West ard South and transfer the mail
of Mexico and Central America to New
Orleans. We have heretofore explained
how both time and money could be saved,
by putting the mail on from New York,
Chicago, Cincinnati and st. Louis to New
Orleans, and then by putting on steam
postal mail vessels from New Orleans to
Vera Cruz and Aspinwall, touching at such
way points as might not delay the through
mail. We hope our Representatives in
Congress will call up this or some other
bill for the same purpose. New Orleans
and Sle West need it.

. The Washington Chronicle, which Is one
of the best informed papers in the country
upon Louisiana affairs, is slightly mistaken
about the relative population of the whites
and blacks in this State. The census
shows an excess of nearly three thousand
colored population over the white In
other respects, the article of the Chron'cie'
which we publish in another place IS
quite correct, and our explanation merely
strengthens its position.

There being a difference of opinion
as to which class of carpet-baggers ought
to be hanged and shot, We would suggest
TO our contemporary, the Pic, whether it
would not be intellectually more beneficial
t. the State if those who come to Louisi-
ana to preach sedition and resistance to
tie laws were su1nmarily disposed Of, than
those who win esteem and public station
from their fcllow-citizens by reason Of
their law-abiding and just walk in life
This is a question the people have more
than decided affiImatiYely.

When Mr.. Ogden returned from his
pilgrimage the other day, he applied to
Judge Abel for consolation. He appeared
before the First District Court during an
important criminal trial, and interrupted
the proceedings by asking that he be re-
cognized as the Attorney General. Col
onel Field, who is the lawful and recog-
nized Attorney General, instructed the
court, and reminded the Washington pill
grim that he had already asked the same
thing of the Supreme Court, and received
such plain hint that he had been but too
glad to withdraw his application. The
Judge had heard of this before, and took
the proper view of the matter. After Dir.
Ogden's private matters had been disposed
of, the business of the State was resumed.
