THE ELECTION TODAY.

Every voter who can conveniently DO So
should be at the polls to-day early, and remain
there to vote and see that others, not voters,
do not vote It is safe to say that the oppo-
nents of Mr.. Black will try to vote everybody
that comes along whether they are voters or
not; and it is just as important to prevent this
as to vote yourself But by all means come to
the polls and vote. and bring every man you
know who is q voter and will vote for Black.
There will be men Acknowledgment we are
informed has been already-who will tell you
thew would as soon SEQ Black elected as Stew
art; but it is all foolishness to vote for Black
as he stands no show in the world to be elect
ed; and so these dsinrerested gentlemen will
tell you, they are going to vote for Stewart
lust to be on the strong side and increase his
majority, as "Sam is pretty good fellow, any
how. Be sure that all such have an AK to grind.
and want you to stay Mt home to turn the grind
stone for them Don't heed them Another
of their arguments is, that Mr.. Black has never
been known to spend quarter of dollar in
the country. Well, if that were true, who has
a right to say that any man shall spend his
money? So long as he pays his taxes aud his
debts. and deports himself as an honest, law
abiding citizen, has any man moral or legal
right 10 dictate to him the use he is to make OF
money which he has earned by hard work
Certainly no man of sense will pretend to set
up any such foolish claim. Mr. Black has earn
ed his money BY manual labor, which cannot be
said of the majority of his opponents. and hav'
ing earned it he has invested it in the improve
ment of his property in Boise county. has paid
the taxes on it, and helped to support the coun'
ty organization But he has not spent bis
money for whisky. neither will he do So and
there's the rub" And the fact is the man
who spends his money for whisky. is unfit for
County Commissioner or any thing else for the
very reason that drunk man IS incapable OF
attending to business. Mr.. Black. not being n
man who spends his money for whisky, and his
time in bar.rooms, will be the more attentive
and the better able to attend to the duties Of
County Commissioner; and being careful o.
his own means, will be careful also Of the
cOunty's means. When the votes have beer
counted it will be seen that the supporters o.
Mr.. Black represent four-fifths of the taxable
property in the district. and we think two
thirds Of the laboring men. which OF themsese'
are pretty good arguments in his favor. Turn
out, then, and give him majority that viii
dwarf the little ring Of his opponents into their
proper numerical insignifcance, and keep them
from making another effort.

War Department in Washington on Tuesday
afternoon:
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept 15.-Hon w.
W. Belknap, Secretary of War: The Kellogg
government is overthrown State in the hands
Of legal government everything conducted in
lawful manner: quiet aud good order pre-
vail no excess committed; negroes protected /;
citizens returning quietly to their homes and
business; perfect harmony exists between
government and United States troops
r. s. RIcHEY
About p ~ some three thousand Of Gen
Osdens militia, armed with the captured guns,
moved from Jackson Square en- route for the
armory on Carondolet street. As they passed
the custom-house the United States troops
stationed there gathered in the windows, and
taking of their hats gave three hearty cheers
tor the citizens, which was returned by the
militia with great uuanimity. With the ex-
ception of the sentinel in front Of the custom
house not an armed man is to be seen on the
streets Of the city, and quiet prevails through
out
As might have been expected President
Grant has proclaimed the citizens, who have
thus thrown off the yoke of their carpet-bag
oppressors, turbulent and dsorderly per-
