The BOGUS ELECTION IN RApIDEs
PARIsH.-The bogus election ordered
by Antoine for vacancy which has
never existed, turned out in Rapides to
be worse than farce. The leaders of
the Radical party here, who have their
faithful forces always perfectly drilled
and we'll in hand, left no stone unturned
to bring them to the polls, but all to no
avail. For the first time the ever faith
full colored man and brother, could not
see it, and actually refused to vote, and
thus totters to the ground the baseless
fabric of Radical tricks and frauds.
The vote at the Alexandria box foots
up only votes! In Pineville still
smaller one was polled, and at the
Other. three precincts we do not believe
any polls were open. A more complete
failure and acknowledgement of wrong
on the part of the masses of the Radi-
cal party never before occurred. What
a commantary for Congress in our case?

The Peoples Convention.
IN. D. Herald, Nov. 25,1


The proceedings of this body yesterday af-
forded much qualification to its friends, and
no little anxiety to its enemies. The latter
had indulged the hope that the Convention
would be a failure, that sufficient interest was
not felt in the subject by the country people
to draw them from their severe cares on their
plantations in the midst of their harvest, to
induce them to come to the city to attend q
political convention and engage in public at
fairs. But this proved a wide miscalcuiation.
The country parishes turned up in the Con-
ventlon with an unusually large and respect
able representation, and manifested the deep
est interest in the subject.
There was nothing in their presence or bear
ing to give any encouragement to the doleful
predictions of the Kelloggites, or to confirm
his numerous kilograms to Attorney General
Williams, that the people had acquiesced i'll
the Kellogg usurpation, and abandoned the
hopeless struggle for Congressional interven-
tion to correct and repair the wrong which
had been done our people and State.
The bearing Of the Convention was in the
highest degree impressive, practical, unimpas
stoned, but determined and emphatic.
Judge Egan, of Caddo, presided with charac-
teristic tact and self-poise. His speech was
an admirably lucid statement of our case. 1t
was in the highest tone of Louisiana patriot
and statesman. All its recommendations met
with the cordial approval of the assemblage.
SO, too, the report of Judge Kennard, from the
Committee of Seventy, proposing their pro
gramme for the action, and indicating the
chief points to be presented to Congress-.
These resolutions, with Mr.. Marr's exhaust
i've argument, which we are pleased to per-
ceive has been presented in pamphlet form,
embrace the whole scope of the action and
programme of the Convention. To give effect
to the same, to apply in an effective manner
the unanswerable facts and arguments herein
embodied, to the minds of the members of the
Convention, it was resolved to appoint six
commissioners to proceed to Congress to pre-
sent our case and the petition of the Conven-
tion. and also to raise committee of ways
and means to collect a sufficient sum to defray
the expenses of such commission.

9he Presidents Message.
IN. @. Picayune. Dec. 3d.

A hasty perusal of this important
document we are sorry to say fails to
impress us with a very high opinion of
its merits. The people of the United
States have been for the past month in
what might be called state of ferment
over the great questions relative to the
Virginius affair, involving, as they do,
national honor and national rights, and
vet, i'm all fairness, we are of the Opln-
ion that the President has failed to
grasp the issues presented, and has
evaded duty of which both policy and
craftsmanship would have urged per-
formance. But the most remarkable
omission is the complete silence ON the
Louisiana case. Not syllable was
written bearing in the least on this,
the most important question now before
the country. On a righteous solution
of our trouble depends the future main
tenance of this Republic, and to this
gress will have to devote much time
and labor. 1t comes with % peculiar
significance to the people of a great
commonwealth, that the Chief Execu-
tive should entirely overlook their, not
appeal, but demand, for those funda
mental rights guaranteed by the organ
ic law of the nation. If a State is to
receive the cold contumely of silence
when it calls on the chief and co-ordi-
nate branches of the Government for
assistance in the preservation of our
institutions, the world should know it.
Recommendation for the survey of the
distant Amazon were not forgotten, but
Louisiana, her people and her rights
were neglected. The document will
do little credit to President Grant and
less to his Administration.

Congress met last Monday, the lst inst. On
the ID, the President sent in his message, in
which no mention whatever is made of the
and Sypher, two Louisiana carpet-baggers
fraudulently returned by the Lynch Board as
elected, were admitted to seats in the House.
Pinchbaek's case was not reached. The pro
ceedings thus far are therefore not favorable
to our plundered and oppressed people. The
end is not vet, however.

wTwenty-five years ago. when Will
liam Allen, of Ohio, was member of
the United States Senate, a Whig SEN
ator asked him what is Democracy 2"
Allen replied as follows:
Democracy is sentiment not to be
appealed, corrupted or compromised.
It knows no baseness; it covers to no
danger; it oppresses no weakness; des-
tructive only to despotism, it is the
sole conservator of liberty, labor and
property. Tt is the sentiment of free
dom, of equal rights, of equal delega-
tions, the law of nature pervading the
law of the land.

We announced last Saturday that our parish

men, which was held in New Orleans on the
18th inst, by six colored citizens whose names
We gave. We CLEANED this information from
the N. 0. Republican, the chief organ of the
