THE RETURNING BOARD.

The entire community has been looking
with good deal Of anxiety and Impotence tc
tue last action Of the Returning Board. Yes
terday the final canvass Of all the parishes
was had. and nothing now remains but de-
cision upon those which were contested by
frivolous charges Of intimidation. It is the
aim and intention Of the Republican party
represented by Anderson, Wells Kenner. and
Casanare on the Returning Board to make
such showing as viii give to them some
claim for a majority in the Legislature, bui
the returns in the possession Of our Demo.
cratic representatives. will show that we have
succeeded in carrying the State against all the
Vaccinations of Radicalism. fraud and decep-
ton
This fact once established there should be
no delay in showing to the party that has
heretofore oppressed and ruined us. that its
days are numbered, and that the sooner il
abandons the control of our Government the
better it will be for it.
The people Of this State know the result OF
the last election. They know that by all fair
and honorable means the Democracy tri-
umphed over Radicalism. They know that
whilst it is in the power Of the Returning
Board to count in o majority of Republicans
in the Legislature, in the face OF q pronounced
and we'll recognized majority of Democrats
it is dangerous game for them to play, and
involves degree Of responsibility that no
member OF the board viii be willing to assume
under the present condition of public senti-
men..
In conclusion. we have only to say, that if
the board dares to defraud the people OF this
State out of one jot of their rights, OF attempts
to count in, by fraud, defeated candidates for
any position whatsoever, the individual men,
bers of that board will be held to personal
accountability for their conduct.

ing sheaf to the injuries they have already
inflicted upon the people of this State by de-
liberately defrauding them of the fruits of a
victory when their very salvation depends
upon the result.
The course of these men has, however, led
us to abandon that hope, and, upon reflection,
we are forced to the conviction that when
men once start on the downward road that
leads to disgrace and infamy they rarely, if,
indeed, ever stop short Of the lowest depth.
As it is. We must await results with what
patience we may.
The editor OF the Alexandria Democrat,
who has known Matt. Wells intimately for
years, in an article on the returning board,
uses the following forcible language:
1--WE reiterate; we write not III doubt, do
not mince our words, nor cautiously round
our sentences, specially for the hereafter,
but plainly and squarely make the asser.
ton, without reservation, that there is
cheating on the whole line OF the counting
board, and that the very men of men are on
watch and on duty there, to put the thing
through in the most approved and cheeky
style, without remorse and with willing
hearts, provided such creatures are blessed
with such thing. and that they will do it at
the risk of their existence. and under any and
all circumstances. This We believe, and even

THE MISSION OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.

Upon the accession of the Democratic party
| to the control of the National and State Gov
ernments, vast amount OF labor ana re-
sponsibiltv will devolye upon 1t: and upon
its policy will rest in great measure the I'LL
ture destiny of this country.
Coming into power when the country was
At the lowest stage OF its commercial and
financial interests-all OF which had been
Frustrated by system OF legislation that Was
calculated to bring ruin and disaster to every
material enterprise--thep people look to it with
confidence, and believe that it will resurrect
the dead energies Of great people and the
life of a glorious country.
II is expected that life. vigor and activity
will be given to the trade and commerce o.
the country, under the wise and wholesome
administration Of the Democratic party.
1t is expected that by a judicious and prae-
teal policy Of finance the best and most vital
interests Of the country will be subserved.
1t is expected that the fair, impartial and
magnanimous dealings with the South will
win her people and join their hearts and
hands in the common cause OF the royal glory
and imperial grandeur Of the greatest and
most powerful nation on the globe.
When the Democratic party Shall have
achieved this glorious mission, it will again
occupy that exalted position it once boosted
of, when the whole country was at the acme
Of its glory, the height Of it's supremacy,
under the benign influence Of its domination,
and under the leadership Of such statesmen
as Jefferson and Jackson.
When the party shall have arrived at the
highest point Of its success and its grand and
liberal principles shall have obtained over
the land, the whole people will look with con-
fidence to the restoration Of good government
and the renewal Of prosperity to the country.

NICE GAME OF THE RETURNING
BOARD.

We have assurances from what We consider
trustworthy sources, that the plan OF the
board to Illustrate the Conservative Democratic
victory, is rs follows:
To count and compile the parishes where
there are no protests, and thus returning an
unquestioned Republican majority. In the
meantime, the parishes artiully put in ques-
ton, are all massed at the tail end Of the oper-
atoms of the board. Then, in caucus of
the Kellogg members Of the board, the gaes-
toned mot questionab'e) parishes are to be Sc
cretly compiled. and the documents fully pre-
pared for PRONUNCIATION, signed, sealed and
deliyered-but kept under the bushel for
day or two, to allow the guilty members of the
board to walk from under.
Just imagine Mr. Argos astonishment to
discover ut this critical juncture that his col
leagues had left him solitary and alone in ses-
sion-an orphan in the upper story OF the

1t is enough to register the fact.

There is evidence in yesterdays proceed
ings Of the Returning Board that they mean
to defraud the people Of the fruits Of the VIC
tories gained at the last election. 1t will be
seen by the action Of this body that an incli-
nation is developed to refer all contested
cases to the Legislature for adjustment, and
as the Assembly will be organized with Re-
publican majority, We know full we'll what
that adjustment will be.
This palpable attempt to shirk the respon-
sibllity imposed upon the board by the law
under which they are acting will not be sub
mitted ito by the people. The citizens OF
Louisiana have spoken through the ballot box
on November I'd, and no set of men can, by
chicanery or fraud, silence Or stihe the full
expression of that voice. We do now. in all
earnestness, warn these men that if they at
tempt to carry out what seems at this time
to be a scheme to seat candidates not elected,
or to evade their sworn duties, the result will

The Detroit Free Press denies that two
thirds of the best places in this country are
held by college men. In certain professions
it declares the proportion is far larger; but
take our successful men all through-profes-
slonal men, bankers, merchants and business
men generally-and it is notorious that the
large majority of them never saw the inside
of college, certainly not as under graduates.
There is too much of extravaganza of state
ment to young men, before they leave college,

them when their course is ended It excites
in them false notions, and hopes tina. are
often doomed to the most bitter disappoint-

Since December, 1872, the people OF

pie of the State proved this over again. 4
