TIE probabilities are that the vote Of
Louisiana will lie thrown out entirely,
and new election be ordered. General
Sypher, who forged atiidavits and elected
himself to Congress. will be worse than
a cypher, sad there will be several other
cyphers wiped of the slate forever. The
evidence of fraud is too glazing to be
overlooked or white.washed by the in
vestigating committee at Washington,
ard it will not do to admit that Presi-
dent Grant did net receive majority Of
votes in the State; hence, to cut the
Gordian knot new election will have to
be ordered.

Important RIII.

From the Union and American, 9th
The bill introduced by Senator Nc
Council. Of Trousdale, : to reduce the
cost Of State prosecutions" makes each
county responsible for all the costs which
accrue in that county 10 felonies, as well
as in misdemeanors 1t takes the whole
matter out Of the Comptrollers Office.
It's importance is apparent from the
Comptroller report, which shows that,
for the fifteen months ending January |,
1873, the costs Of such prosecutions
amounted to the enormous sum Of
$249 599 so. The Comptroller says 10
the General Assembly on this subject:
81 again call your attention to the
frightful bill Of costs which the State is
required 70 pay in criminal prosecutions
Costs are certified without any scrutiny
Of the items, the presumption being that
the State is rich and possessed Of the
magical faculty of creating money by
its own 7olition. There is often gross
negligence upon the part Of the officers
whose duty it is to certify as to the cor
rectness Of the items ia these bills of
costs.
Whatever may be the fate of this bill,
there is no doubt that the evils com
planned Of By the Comptroller should be
remedied, aud there is no doubt that If
the counties had to pay these costs that
they would be very largelyredueed, or a
new set Of officers would be elected.

A correspondent gives to the Hopkins
Vile New Era the following as a speech
made BY General Jackson, when he was
yet poor backwoods lawyer in TenneS-
ace and unknown to fame: He was
employed to prosecute negro for the
murder Of another in a ct Of jealousy,
and in his speech to the jury was the
following paragraph: No more shall
the voice Of the poor murdered man be
heard In the songs Of the merry corn
huskings. No more shall he pluck the
snowy cotton boil. No more shall the
forest resound with echoes Of his hunting
horn as with his dogs be chased the
'possum and the coon. No more shall
his nimble feet keep time to the music
Of the old baujoas be patted jaba and
cut the pigeon wing. That voice once 50
joyful is now hushed in death. Those
limbs once so agile are now rigid and
still. His body now lies upon the blood
stained turf, With his big toe pointing up
70 the blue arched vault Of Heaven. .
