THE RESULT.

The result Of the election will lie
seen in tho new life and vigor which
will be infused into business of al
kinds; in the bright faces of all our
people, white and black, W no
achieved for us the victory /; in the
peace and quiet which will reigno
from one end of the parish to the
other; in the good will and mutual
assistance which will prevail be-
tween the two races hero and in
the revival of the days when plenty
was our portion and want was un-
Known. Where all was dread and
depression all IS now certainty and
enthusiasm. We will now have all
opportunity of showing to our COL
ored friends that our professions Of
good will were sincere and that our
guarantee of protection in all their
lights was honest. 1t was long,,
wearisome road we have been trav
elling for these last eight years and
it seemed as if we would never
reach the end, but we have got
there at last and now we can draw
a long, deep breath Of relief. The
best part of the result is that it is
for all time, the colored people have
learned who their friends are and
the hold of the Radicals over them
is broken forever. In our rejoicing
we Ought not to forget to give our
solemn thanks to the Supreme
Ruler, who changed the hosts Of
the people and who has given MS tho
victory. We utter a solemn, thank
God!

JUSTICE 70 OUR ALLIES.

Now that the election is over, and
the White Peoples Ticket has sue
ceeded beyond the expectations OF
the most sanguine, it behooves us to
be both just and conciliatory. As
victors we can aff.rd to be generous.
To those colored voters, who broke
loose from their old political masters,
and over come the prejudices, that
had been aroused by designing DEM
agogues, and joined in with us on
Monday last, we owe debt OF graft
tude, and our people should extend
to them all the kindness and assis-
lance in their power. They came up
boldly to the relief Of Louisiana in
the dark hour Of doubt and peril and
gave their votes for her redemption,
and the restoration of an honest and
good government. They have de-
monstrated the fact that the leaders
Of the Radical party have failed to
decree and misjudge them, by their
oft repeated stories and that they
wish peace, order and prosperity in
this Parish we have guaranteed to
them every right and immunity un-
der the law, that they exercise, and
promised them the protection of the
law, and it now becomes the duty OF
the White People to see these prom
Uses fulfilled. In every instance we
wish the law enforced without dis
tinction of color or race, to the end,
that crimes may be repressed, and
every citizen be permitted to exer-
else his trade, occupation or profess
ion without interference. 1t is a
yell known fact, that in this parish
the colored people complained very
bitterly of the Republican Office
holders, because the law gave no pro-
lection to them. This fact, influence
ed large number Of colored voters,
and they accepted in good faith our
Promises, and we must not forget
Them. Let every planter, merchant
and employer give the preference in
employing laborers Of any kind to
those colored people that supported
our ticket on Monday last. Some
distinction is due, and it should be
made, on every occasion. The pes
tiferous politicians on every planta
ton, could with great propriety, nov
the election is over, be made exam
pies of, for future effect. Let then
know that the White People in Ra
pides own our soil, and there is NJ
law that can compel them to harbol
m enemy for two years, and hav'
them at every election join in will
their oppressors. While they ar
perfectly free to exercise the ballo
MS they see fit, we have the SAM
right to give preference to thos
who have exhibited q desire to re
lieve us of our burdens and do ava.
with the unnatural state Of affair
that has existed for the last six years
Let our citizens be moderate, be firm
and above oil be just.

The Offices.

So far as we have heard them,
the leaders of the Radical party
here, express themselves as willing
to acquiesce in their defeat and do
not propose to attempt to cheat us
out of our well earnede victory.
This conclusion on their part is a
wise one, and We advise them to
adhere to it. W. think we know
the temper of our people and as we
understand it, they are unanimous
" resolved not to submit to any
fraud, and they are determined that
our officers shall have their Offices
or that nobody shall have them.
It will take a guard of a Compa-
ny of U. s. Troops to every officer,
to eat with him, walk the streets
with him in the day time, and to
sleep with him at night, to keep
every one of the defeated Candi-
dates in office, should Kellogg and
his Servile Returning Board a.
tempt to put them in the offices for
which they have now been fairly
and squarcly defeated. They had
all the election machinery, had
troops, both infantry and cavalry,
all over the Parish, and they got
beaten fairly and honestly.
If there is now any way in which,
the clearly and emphatically ex-
pressed will Of the people can be
defeated, there is but one thing
for the freemen both white and
black, who elected our ticket to no.
and that is to meet fraud with
force, and assert both the dignity
of their manhood and the last right
of freemen. 1t would be no use tol
us to 70 into another election.

Election Incidents.

Monday morning broke upon the
Radicals hopeful, jubilant and con-
fident. Every preparation had
been made; every point was guard
ed; politicians were flying here,
there and everywhere, and the
election commenced. The Radicals
had a yellow ticket, we had a white
one. At Alexandria where the U.
s. Infantry were camped all around
the ballot box, and where the cav
airy were riding around town in
battle array at first, and parading
around afterwards, as the white
tickets in the hands of both colored
and whites, began to pour in at
about the same rate where it was
expected everything would 90 for
the yellow ticket, the eyes of the
leaders began to grow bigger and
bigger.
As the five hundred majority
they expected here, diminished
down to four hundred, then to
three hundred, and finally to less
than two hundred, and while all
this was being done peaceably,
quietly and under the very guns of
the hostile force sent here to give
the colored people a chance to vote
the Radical ticket, the leaders and
aspirants for Office, began to realize
that Waterloo defeat was in store
for them, and their hearts sank.
They knew they could not cry /" in
timidation,7 for there was the box
free for every man to come to and
put in whatever ballot he pleased.
They could not cry fraud" for
there was John DeLacy Jr., and
Tom Clements and others of their
party right there with pockets full
of Radical tickets, TO give to any
one who wanted it, and there was
Vic Porter, a Commissioner setting
right in front of the box and ready
to hand out a yellow ticket to any
body who called for it, and there
stood U. s. Supervisor George Y.
Kelso, to see that everything was
done fairly, and that each voter
handed in his own ticket.
At Cheneyville there was Mr..
John Clements, candidate for Sher-
iff on their ticket and a squad of
soldiers, and DR.. J. w. Bass as U.
s. Supervisor, to see to everything.
AtPineyille there was Fl. j. Wright,
as Commissioner and Alex. Grin
stead and Bill Ke}so as U. s. Su-
pervisors, to look after things gen
orally, with plenty of outside work.
ers. and this very box turned out a
majority of 2S3 for Judge Daigre,
and a majority of Al for our whole
ticket. Al Lccomte they had Jer-
ry Curtis for Commissioner and a
Supervisor, and they were not sat
isfied with 15S majority. AtCotile
they had soldiers and Supervisor
or two, and yet we got 1GO MAORI
ty. At Bayou Rapides there was
only a small vote, as most of their
voters came to Alexandria, and we
were legitimately entitled to the
majority, as they only lett us those
who were going to vote for us. AT
Latanier, Gov. Wells precinct, we
suppose they had things all fixed
up right.
These we're all the precincts
where there was any colored voters,
as they do not and never have
claimed that any of the Pinewoods
precinct belong to them, and it was
known that they would give us
solid votes. Thus we beat them
with all the odds in their favor,
and the victory is fairly ours as
they themselves acknowledge.

GLORIOUS VICTORY ~!


another place, shows a majority for
the Peoples Ticket, straight out, Of
$50. The average majority is 333333
according to the count as kept by
ourselves. There never was and
never can be a moro peaceable,
quiet and orderly election than YVES
that on last Monday, in this Parish.
The intimidation was all on the
other side this time. Blue coats,
glittering bayonets, shining car
bines and belts full of cartridges,
were all over the Parish, and at al:
most every Precinct, and yet we
routed them, horse, foot and dra>
goons. The radicals moved heav-
en- and earth to intlmidate us, but
the Anglo-Saxon blood in the veins
of our people, was aroused by the
foul attempt to overawe them, and
the result is a grand and glorious
victory for right over wrong, for
intelligence over brutal ignorance,
and for honesty over unblushlng
corruption. This result might have
been toreseen by the oppressors
who would have ground US to the
dust, and they reckoned without
their host, if they thought that
born freemen could be overridden,
outraged and intimidated by such
a paultry show of brutal power.
The game was too thin! Rapidi-
ans don't scare worth a cent!
Now we are anxious to know
what move Kellogg, Packard & Co.,
backed by Williams and Grant,
will make to cheat us out OF the
victory we have won. lntimida-
ton won't do, for it was our side
that was inundated. Fraud won't
do, for the whole Election machin-
ery was in their hands. A Repub-
lican Registrar registered the vo-
tiers, and while we believe he was
in the main perfectly fair, his sym
pathfes wefo certainly not with us,
nor did he in any way lean towards
our side. A Republican Police Ju-
ry named the voting Precincts and
appointed the Commissioners of
Election. The count was made at
the polls, and publicly, by these
Commissioners and the Registrar
made the official compilation given
above.
At no poll in the Parish was
there any shadow of disturbance,
and at all the negro Precincts arm
ed soldiers we're present to prevent
any intimidation, and negro poll
ticians were there to prevent and
counteract any persuasive influence
we might have exercised over the
Republican voters. We went into
the fight with all the odds against
us, and they with every chance in
their favor. We have won, and
now by the Eternal God who rules
over US, we the people of Rapides
both white and black, whose votes
have won the victory in favor o.
honesty and intelligence, mean tt
haze the fruits Of that victory! W.
will not submit to fraud nor will
we be deferred from seeing that ou1
officers have their Offices by any
power of Kellogg or Grant himself
! We give fair warning to the pc
litical manipulators who will prob
ably try to cheat us by chicaner!
and fraud, and in the name of tn
sovereign people regardless of par
ty, that they can not and shall no
|swindle us out of our victory. Upol
their own heads rest the RESPONSE
bility for the attempt, if it is made
