THE STATE ELECTION.

ton is still in doubt, and official re-
turns come in so slowly that several
days must yet elapse ere it can be
determined with any degree Of Ger
tainty whether Republicans or Dem
ocrats have won the battle. Of course
the partisans of each side claim a
victory, but the CHIEF, while reserv
ing the opinion that its party ..}as
been successful, prefers to await some
authoritative announcement Of the
result before parading its chanticleer
in triumph or hanging it's flag at half
mast in dependency. One thing
seems evident-the contest has been
very close and the majority will be
small, whichever Way it may lean.
There bas been no Waterloo victory
or defeat, and we trust the over en-
thusiastic spirits of the editorial fra
ternity who are wont to effervesce
and slop over 50 easily upon occasions
like the present will make their in
flictions upon fo1 bearing public as
light rs possible and tone down their
rejoicings to something like compati
bllity with the magnitude Of the tri-
umph. We wish it distinctly under
stood that this sage advice is not
meant for the New Orleans Bulletin.
That journal has already crowed, and
screamed, whooped and hurrahed,
and cracked it's heels and tore around,
and made itself SO generally ridicu-
lous without making it apparent half
the time what its fuss was about,
that we doubt if long months of atone
ment will redeem the unseemly con-
duet in the estimation Of people of
staid demeanor and sober judgment.
SO far as has been ascertained, no
serious disturbance occurred in any
parish, and if Intimidation or other
unfair means were any where used to
Influence the election, they were en-
ployed without a resort to arms or
open violence. In DeSoto there was
some trouble, and it is averred that
no Republican was allowed to vote,
but particulars of the affair are LACK
ing. When we see such parishes as
Caddo, Rapides and Natchitocl,es,
with large colored majorities in the
announced rs having
been carried by the Democrats, we
infer that there could hardly have ex-
listed II healthy state of political feel
ing in those parishes-that Republi-
can voters were either intimidatel
Or careless of their rights and kept
away from the polls i'll large numbers.
faith in the ability and desire
Of the Board Of Returning officers to
make fair and square canvass of
the returns, despite the threats or
mutterings Of defeated aspirants and
their adherents, we shall await their
investigation and decision before at
discussion of the causes
chat produced the anomalies we have
lust cited. Itseems the White League
rec has borne legitimate fruit in it's
along Red River, but just
low many of the apples will be gath
cred by those who planted and reared
t remains to be seen.

The country exchanges which we
are receiving just now are dull read
ing, having been printed before the
election. Enthusiastic prpgnostica-
tions and soul-stirring announcements
Of inevitable results tone down into
very tame commonplaces in the light
of published election returns.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
HON. p. LANDRY ELECTED.

HON. p. LANDRY ELECTED.
Hon. Pierre Landry, the regular
nominee of the Republican party for
State Senator from the Seventh Dis
trict, composed Of the parishes Of As
censiop and St. James, has received
a large majority in both parishes and
is elected. The total vote for the
Senatorial candidates was as follows !:
Ascension-Landry,. ..l735 Bovee, 1893
st. james g 1927 :. 73l
Totals, 1869 1864
This shows Mr.. Landry's majority
in Ascension to be s42; in St. James,
e9G; and in the district, 1873.
Many friends of the Senator elect
have daily crowded upon him to offer
their congratulations, and the CHIEF
HEARTILY joins the throng. Mr.. Lam
dry will ill with ability, dignity and
integrity the exalted station to which
the people have raised him with their
ballots, and no man, we feel able to
assert, who supported him in the con
test just ended, will ever have cause
TO regret the action.

BEECsHER AND TlLrON.

Tilton's statement of his cause of
grievance against thereverend Lotharo
has been published in full in the New
York papers. We have MS yet only n
telegraphic synopsis Of it. The whole
letter will be given to our readers as
soon rs we can publish it entire. The
gist of the case is contained in the fol-
lowing extract from Tiltons EXPOSE
tion:
That about nine years ago, Rev. III.
w. Beecher began, and thereafter con-
tinued, friendship with Mrs. Il. II.
Tilton, for whose native delicacy and
extreme religious sensibiity he often
expressed to her husband high admi-
ration. Visited her from time to time
for years till 1870, when, for reasons he
before stated, he ceased such visits,
during which period, 10y many tokens
and attentions, he won the affection
aud love of Mrs. Tillon-. whereby,
after long moral resistance by her aud
after repeated assaults by him upon
her mind, with overmastering argu-
ments accomplished the possession of
her person, maintaining with her
thenceforward, during the period here
matter stated, the relation called crim-
inal intercourse; this relation being
regarded by her during that period as
not being criminal or morally wrong,
such being the power of his arguments,
sa clergyman, to satisfy her religious
cruples against such violation OF vir-
ne and honor.
