HONOR TO JOHN FORSYTH.

As the people of Alabama have elected a
Democratic Governor, three-fourths Of the
Congressional delegation, and q majority OF
the Legislature of the same faith, We beg to
offer suggestion to our friends over the line.
faithful among the faithless, in all our
troubles, has stood John Forsyth, of the No
bile REGISTER. When the weak covered before
the blast, when the cowardly grounded their
arms, and the venal and weakened marched
into tie camp Of the enemy, he stood firm.
eProudly he upheld the banner OF the white
Democracy, and his clarion voice was heard
throughout the land, calling upon the people
to come up like men to the rescue of all they
held dear. Years of darkness and gloom have
passed over us since the war, but the white
plume of John Forsyth has streamed like
meteor before the serried ranks Of our foes,
and in every contest his voice has been more
potent than the bugle horn of Rhoderick Dhu,
upon which one blast was worth thousand
men,"
There has been no time since the advent of
a so-calledi peace Forsyth has not been worth
many thousand men to the cause of truth,
justice and liberty, and now, when the State
of Alabama is free, when the chains that
bound her limbs are broken, she can do no
more fitting and graceful act than to elect
John Forsyth to the first occurring vacancy
in the Senate of the United States. His
talents, his learning, his information, his high
and his unquestioned courage, will
add lustre to body SO long adorned by his
honored father, John Forsyth, of Georgia.
Alabama has duty to perform. Let her per-
form it. Her own honor is concerned

WHAT DOES IT MEAN2

The following curiously incorrect telegram
was forwarded from this point by the agent
Of the Associated Press, to the Western pa
pers. We simply desire to ask what it means ?
ELECTED.
New ORLEANS, Nov. 12.-Returns arrive
slowly. Ten parishes yet to hear from. The
Picaytne says the Republican State ticket is
probably elected. The constitutional amend
ments, embodying Kellogg's financial policy,
is carried by large majority. Three Repub-
ican Congressman are elected. The House is
close. The Senate ID 26 Republicans to 10
Democrats. = Louisville Ledger.
We do not believe the Picaysne ever made
any such statement and we call for proof
Come, Mr.. Agent, give us the proof.

To show what a depressing effect the late
Democratic successes have had upon leading
securities, we quote from the New York Re.
public, of the 18th inst: Considerable sales
were made of Virgins, Tennessee, Georgia,
North Carolina and Missouri State bonds,
which made the Southern State security list
more active. Good prices were maintained. "
Also from the Philadelphia Ledger Of the same
date: Southern and Western State bonds
are quiet but frmer, now that the political
aspect has changed" The very prospect of
the Democracy regaining control Of the Gov
eminent. has given the st ,ck markets natu-
raj stimulus uufelt for years.

THE RETURNING BOARD FRAUD.

Great stress is laid by the Radicals upon the
assertion of the Returning Board that the
returns Of St. James parish had been handed
in ten days before the Radical committee we're
arrested in the act of making new set No
one need doubt the ten day story; it is only
another evidence of the cunning Of these ex-
perienced political manipulators Of frauds.
Tyros in this sort of rascality might have
overlooked this point, and been caught with
out any returns from st. James !; but in this
ca Sc, when the doors of the fraud are caught,
the honest C?) Board have only to feign indig-
nation or indifference, and confidently point
to the papers that have been in their posses
sion, 10! these ten days. Of course they
had. But is any one idiot enough to suppose
the Radical custodians of these papers would
not gladly have exchanged them for the doc
tored returns On the eleventh, twenty-6rst or
thirty first, or any other day?
In truth the people are getting heartily tired
of the regeneration Of this Cabal called a Re-
turning Board. Their findings, even if spec
Oily delivered, would have no binding effect
on any one. They, IS at present constituted,
have no legal status, and the sooner the whole
concern is done away with, or quietly ignored,
the better.
Those candidates who were elected on No
yembeF I'd, throughout Louisiana, will take
their seats by virtue Of having received ma
jority of the ballots cast on that day, and not
by reason Of any finding Of this fraudulent
concoctor of frauds, the Returning Board.
Who for an instant supposes that, had the
Radicals cast q majority Of those votes, the
result would not already have been announced,
and the successful Radical candidates have
been already installed in Office, engaged in
stealing away the little that is left in this thief
ridden State? No one.
Who so guileless as not to suspect that the
only object of this delay and the spurious rea-
SONS assigned for it are the most positive evi-
lences of the frauds sought to be perpetrated
md doubtless in some cases already com.
oleted? No one.
And is there any one of the honest voters in
his State who is not in danger of losing his
emper if any further evidence is given by
his cabal Of attempts to defraud them of the
Conservative Triumph Not one, we conf
lently believe.

JUSTICE BY THE CARGO.
ARE SUCH PROCEEDINGS VALID?

Creditors and debtors each have rights Sc
cured by constitutional and legis lative acts
One creditor has no more right than another
creditor. No debtor can be put, SO far az
legal proceedings are concerned, in worse
! condition than another. A debtor to the city
for taxes is in the same predicament, SO far as
legal recourseis concerned, as debtor fol
rent or for groceries. All that the creditor
can do in default Of payment is to sue and
pursue the legal remedies pointed out by law.
But the city proceeds in a more expeditions
manner. And to show the legal mode of pr 0.
ceeding, We give extracts from the minutes Of
the Superior District Court:
