NEW ORLEANS, October 25.-The

upon which citizens of Shreveport
were arrested:
"U. S. A., District of Louisiana
Personally came and appeared before
me, the undersigned authority, Lewis
Merrill, Major of the Seventh Regi-

being by me first duly sworn, did de-
pose and say that on or about the 10Th
day of October, 1874, at the city of
Shreveport, in the district aforesaid,
Here follows the names of the ninety
citizens did each and every one of
them conspire to intimidate and con-
troll, and did attempt to intimidate
and control numerous qualified voters
in said district in exercising the right
of suffrage, by threatening to deprive
said voters of employment; by threat
ening to refuse to renew contracts
with said voters for labor, in viola
ton of the Statute of the United

parties be arrested and dealt with ac-
cordlng TO law.

States Deputy MarslIals, who were re-
ported 10 have writs for the arrest of
several hundred citizens of parishes
bordering on Red River. These fe-
ports and the presence of the cavalry
produced panic among the whites,
who unfortunately took to the
woods. The negroes stopped work,
and out of a full cargo engaged The
b. yerly got but twenty five bales,
there being no one to haul the cotton
to the landings. Captain Scovell states
that cotton picking has been almest

rhe N,.t House Of Repr..entatlves.

We believe that the following esti-
mate of the next House of Representa-
tives, as to its division plitically, will
be pretty near the mark when the
elections are over:
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1874-10-29

WE have shown by 'sposting the
books" to October l3 that the Demo-
cratic net majority ofthe popular vote
in the twenty -four States which have
held elections since the close of the
Presidential contest ofl872 is 363, ,657.
The same States in November, 1872,
gave Grant net majority of 529, ,209.
Thus the net Democratic gain in less
than two years has been nearly 900,-
900, and when the elections take place
on the Sd proximo, it will be shown
that the gain is as much as 1,250000.
This is the most extraordinary politi-
cal revolution on record. There has
been no such change in public senti-
lnent in so brief time in our political
history. It beats the Harrison up
heaval all hollow. If the elections are
any criterion wharever, the Grant Adj
ministration is supported by but a
small minority of the people. A
Democratic net gain of q million and
a quarter of votes demonstrates that
the Radical party has run its race, and
that it stands at last beneath the gibit.
upon which an indignant people will
sirangle it on the third day ofNoyem-
Der next World.

A WAsHINeToN special says that
the sRepublican Registers of Phfla-
delphia have put as many as 5000
spurious names on the registration
lists, of whom ], 100 were stricken off
in one day by the Courts" It has
been by the frauds and fOrgeries COM
mitted under the old constitution that
the Republicans have succeeded in
carrying that state for a number of
years past. The election in that state
next Tuesday takes place under very
much changed condition of affairs,
and the Democrats there are working
hard, and feel confident OF victory,
and unless these immense frauds are
successful the Democracy viii gain
number of members Of Congress and
add another State to their pyramin.

TROUBLE in Louisiana again. The
representatives of the bayonet Gov
ernment haYe commenced a whole
sale system of terrorizing inoffensive
citizens. They are evidently trying
to manufacture an s'outbreak" for the
benefit of the November elections.
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1874-10-29


1t is stated by the Washington cor
respondent of the New York Times
Republican, that bets are freely offer
ed in Washington that the next House
of Representatives will be Democratic,
and that there are no takers. In this
connection there is one significant
fact. The election of the House of
Representative before a Preside ntial
election is almost q never-failing indi-
cation of the result of that election.
Thus in 1870 the House of Repre-
sentatives was Wing, General Har-
rison (Whig) was elected President.
In 1854 the House was Democratic.
and in 1874 James X. Polk was chosen
President. In 1867 the Wings car
ried 1t, aud General Taylor came in as
President at the next election, in 1S48.
The Democrats elected the House in
IS50-5l, and in 1852 they chose Frank
lin Pierce as Chief Magistrate of the
Union. In 1866 no party had the
majority of the House, aud James
Buchanan (DemOcraD was chosen
President by plurality. In lS59-60
the Republicans elected Mr. Penning-
ton, of New Jersey, as Speaker, by
majority vote, and that was followed
by the election OF Abraham Lincoln.
Since that time the Democracy have
never come near having supremacy
in the popular branch of the Repre-
sentative Department of the Govern
ment. The idea is that the peoples
viii is fret felt in the choice of a
House, aud that ii is afterward main
tained in the selection of those depart
ments whose agreement with The
House are necessary to the enactment
OF laws. The death-knell of Grantism
will be written whenever it is record
ed that the Democrats have the ma
jority in the next House.-EnquiTel.

The tramp of armed men and the
bristling of bayonets is not yet seen
in the land, as was predicted would
be the result of Democratic victory.
Those gloomy predictions of the Radi-
cal leaders have lest their scare. The
people are beginning to understand
that the Democracy war only against
the corrupt practices of the Radicals
and theFpecial privileges and monopo-
lies that party has brought into being
and fostered at the expense of the
Iaboring and producing people. They
are beginning to realize that ours is the
party that advocates m exact equality
Of rights under the law, and opposes
special privileges ;and that the govern
ment can safely be trusted to its hands.
