Yelp Of a Bloodhound.

Immediately after the election when
1t was reported that Louisiana had gone
Democratic, the Democratic papers of
the country had much to say of the
excellent good order that had prevailed
at the polls in that State ON election
day, and of the fairness and business
of the election in all respects. Many
of the colored men had voted the
Democratic ticket, it was said, and a
reign of good feeling had commenced.
But, after the great Democratic jolli-
fcations were over, and the professions
had marched through New Orleans
and other cities, with here and there a
Confederate flag displayed, and after
the returns came slowly in from all
parts of the State, and first reports
were contradicted, and correct footings
were made, it was discovered that the
Republicans had elected majority of
the State officers, that they had elected
half the delegation to Congress, and
had majority in both branches of the
Legislature. Then the Democratic
tune changed, and all that had been
considered so orderly and SO lovely was
turned to bitterness in q day. The
Democratic songs of triumph were
turned into bowls of disappointment,
and instead of the manifestations of
brotherly love we hear low mutterings
of murder. AS an indication of the
Democratic feeling we copy the follow
ing paragraphs from the Shreveport
Times, which is evidently an extremist
and less cautious in the use of its
language than many others, but never
theless a representative of a very large
element of the Democratic party in
Louisiana. Speaking Of the result of
the election and what ought to be done
the Times says:
"We want no Representatives on
the Returning Board. No favors or
concessions from Kellogg or Pack ard.
If George l.. Smith is counted in over
Elan, let Smith and Twitchell be
killed"
eff johnson and Tyler, in De Soto,
are counted in over Scales and SCHUYLER,
as the New Orleans Republican thinks,
or if Heating, Levissee and johnson,
in Caddo, are counted in over Waugh
an, Koran and Lamb, then let johnson,
Tyler, Heating and Levissee be killed;
and so let every officer from Congress-
man down to Constable, in every Dis
trict and Parish in the State, deserved.
owe can't afford to be defeated by
a ring of political scoundrels after we
have triumphed. Human life may be
precious. but the lives of all the
carpet-bag force and politicians in
Louisiana are valuelcss compared
to the work of justice and liberty"
HW We find the following "hogish" item
in last weeks Mineral Point Democrat:
We understand that for the past few
weeks new hog market has been in op
Grafton in the western part of the county.
Hundreds of hogs that should come here
are being shipped to Chicago by the way
of Milwaukee, and the reason of this i,
that they can be shipped by that route
about twelve dollars per car cheaper thar
from Mineral Point to Chicago. Any diff
ference in freights should be in favor o
the Mineral Point route, as the distance
is about forty miles less. Mineral. Point
cannot afford to lose the trade which ma,
yet be taken in this way to other point.
