TIE character Of the spurious Govern
meut Imposed upon the people - Louisiana by
the President, 10 obigc his brother-in-law. Is
well illustrated by proceedings taken in con-
ucrt.on with the election to Congress last year
of col. L. {. DAVIDSON from the Fourth Con-
gt,ssinnal District. who ran against a negro
named PrTrHs. Col. DAVIDSON was duly olert-
ed lrt the returning ioarl which undertook
the work II counting ont Gov. NcrSrHY, Willie
TIC, had their hands in concluded to fabrlcate
majority for their colorcd friend I'm the Fourth
District There was no prctcucc Of fraud In this
election 50 the KrGIoGG.men quietly threw out
all tho votes cast for DAvIpsoS In the parishes
giving him the largest maJoritics, at ihe same
time counting those cast for his competitor, and
a. the result OF this peculiar method declared
majority ~ over six thousand for PETERS. The
outrage was so audaclous that the friends of
both candidates were well satisfied in their own
minds that Congress would giyc DAVIDSON his
scat when the case should be fully nvcstlgatcd
Recently, however. lETERs died, whcrcupon

rsatf "a .f
C5Hhi ul Democrat, one of a., most iut,..,-, ut

that Deacon RICHAEp SMITH 81 Cincinnati
shugid be put up a. a candidate fur pr,.iI,nt
ON truly good platform. At the same time the
I'anIu frankly admits that 1t has only one
direction TO Deacon RICHARD SMITH. and that
iu every other respect no would bo salts
factory both as a candidate aud "a n rrcsi-
dent in the event OF hs election. This
objection ia that "hc would undoubtedly
be compelled 10 I'll the White House with
hs wicked partners and thus be brought
I, Disgrace" We do not think this objection
Is valid In the first place If Deacon RICHARD
S,u1u has been able 10 rise above The w.lcs and
Wirhodne-s Of his partu,r- in his comparatively
limited sphere ~ editoro The Cincinnati Gdz,Gs,

that they would be ablc TO overcome him Il

Immense prestige and influence OF the Prcsi-
dental Office? As he has successfully coutend-

there is great reason to hope he would Mt
merely contend against them, but would con-
qrer them and put thcm beneath his feet ,s

we are proud TO say he has ever done In moral

the attention OF the Cunhidni Democrat; and
We have no doubt that when it has pondcrcd

To the elevation Of Deacon RICHARD SMITH to
the highest place as 1t Is now conlciontousS
