A VALUABLE BooK.-Capt. J. B. Finks,
SO well known in this and every other
community along the line of the old Viz

Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's history of his

first edition was promptly exhausted, and

Capt. F. sold $50 copies in the town Of

ability and historical value, that has rela-
ton to the late war. 1t is not indelieate
to mention the fact, so many warm friends
has he in this county, that since his acci-
dent, which deprived Capt. f. of active en-
ployment, his success in this undertaking is
most necessary to him, and we know that

cellently done, and showed q surprising re-

so long out of practice. The vocal music,
though the quartette was broken up by
the absence of Dr.. Brown, was very tine.
Miss Cora Turner rendered both her songs

THE ACCURATE PICAYUNE.

what it takes to be u gross error in our col

The following pathetic little item we clip
from the Pies columns:
FALSE ALARM.
The alarm of fire given last hight at 10
o'clock, from the corner OF Bayou Road and
Claiborne, proved to be false, and started by
some miscellaneous persons, who afterwards
left the box opened.
A physician was Immediately called, who
examined her injuries and pronounced them
of dangerous nature.
The doctor who performed that delicate
operation, pronounces the box beyond all
hope, and attributes the cause Of this disease
to the fact that the little boy didn't shut her
up. He says shutting up sometimes does
wonders.

THE NOCTURNAL ELECTION IN THE
TWELFTH DISTRICT.
CLINTON, La, Dec. s, 1874

CLINTON, La, Dec. s 1874.
Editor n. 0. Bulletin:
saw published in one OF your city papers
that John Gair, late aspirant Tor Senatorial
honors in this (Twelfth) Senatorial District,
had filed protest with the Returning Board,
charging that he (Gair) had received a ma
iority of the votes cast at the election OF No
yember Cd; that there had been fraud and
intimidation, and, finally, that if the Return
ing Board would order a new count, his cleo
ton would be established beyond doubt.
This man s protest was at first laughed at, and
then rumors from the friends OF Gair and
Perry (late aspirant for seat in the House Of
Representatives. set the people to thinking
that there was something rotten in Denmark.
And SO it turned out that there hod been q
second election held IL Clinton: that Gair, Ban
non and Perry had, under cover OF darkness
paid visit to the temple Of justice, and
stuffed the ballot boxes with this end in view:
l. Sufficient Democratic ballots, with the
name of John L. Breaux (brother OF Hon JOS
A. Breaux, OF Iberia) for State Senate, were
removed from the boxes. and others bearing
the name of Gair. for Senate, were substl-
tuted.
9 The name e Isaac J. Perry, Jr.. Radical,
was substituted Tor that of VIM. Henry Piper,
Democrat, for Representative, on some four
hundred ballots, thus making it appear that
Mr.. w. H. Piper had not been elected.
3. The Democratic Police Jury was also
scratched ont in this noctural election, and
four sons Of Ethiopia, as black as the blacklist
villain in the Penitentiary. were counted ~.
And now what are We gong to do about
it?

ton to this problem. In haste,

Wade Hampton on Southern Feeling.

Mr.. President and Gentlemen Of the Young
MEMS Democratic Club Of Ne,c IOrk-When
availed myself tonight of the invitation with
which YOU honored me to come here, my only
intention was to pay my respects to the dis
tinguished gentlemen who have led the De-
mocracy of the Empire State to victory, and
to say that we of the South appreciate fully
and unreservedly that victory. l am happy
to be able to give, in few words, the hopes
and ambitions of the South. beg to say that
1 am speaking only for myself, and by my
very large and extended acquaintance
throughout our land, 1 may assure you that
the people of the South do not intend to em-
barrass the Democracy OF the State OF New
York. Our hopes and purposes were almost
lost in the very gloom of despair. There was
nothing to look for in the future, when the
news from the Northwest awakened us from
our lethargy.
The glorious news came flashing along
telling us of the rising once again OF the
Democracy, who had nailed their colors to
the ramparts, and had declared that the rule
of rings had come to an end. The sound
rang over the South; the people rallied in
isiana, in Alabama and in Arkansas, in spite
of bayonets and of hordes of rutfianly de-
tectives; in spite OF all this the great mass OF
the people rose and stood stoutly together,
and when the night Of the Sd of November
came we lay down concious OF having done
our duty, be the result what it may. On the
morning of the 4th came the glorious word
of the Empire State, which had risen in its
majesty to a leading place once more in the
roll of States; and even Massachusetts, had
given Democratic vote. Tired and heart
sore as we were, you may well imagine the
feeling Of the people Of the South.
When you had thus extended the right hand
of fellowship we looked forward with the hope
that in the success of the Democratic party
we should seizure the reinstallation Of civil
liberty and constitutional government. tell
you, honestly, truly, and sincerely, that be-
lieve it as believe in my God that the people
of the South intend not to embarass the De-
mocracy of the North by the expression of one
rash wish. They would look to them to re-
store liberty. In the language of the old
republic, "that the republic suffers no detri-
ment" We want no violent revolutions,
though l could tell tale of woe, OF insult,
and Of downright wrong and despotism which
would make ten thousands OF Republicans
say s'can such things be? ?" and cry shame upon
those who have placed these burdens upon US.
I see you have inscribed over your platform
Excelsior. 1t tells simply where the Demo-
cratic party is going future in which
there shall be no North, no South, no East,

The Situation in Louisiana.

The resignation Of Judge Durell looks like
the beginning of a general break up. The
scheme for counting in Republican majority
of the Louisiana Legislature is seen to be SO
dangerous that even Kellogg and his associ-
ates hesitate to undertake it, and though the
result of the canvass now dragging along is
still uncertain, it is evident that the Conserv-
atives have no idea Of submitting to continu-
ance of the usurpation, and that nothing but
a renewal Of military intervention can keep
Kellogg in power after next January.-N. +.

DINNER TABLE SoUABBLEs.- Perhaps moth
ing is more prejudicial to the proper assimi-
lation of food than disputation. The mind
becomes irritated and instantaneously
the stomach 'sympathizes. A dinner table
is the worst possible place for an argu-
ment which may easily become heated
and acrimonious. Nor should it be a
place where children are constantly
reproved or their bad conduct suffered to
destroy the comfort of the meal. Discipline
in the household is highly necessary, but the
wise mother will not make it prominent
feature at the table. Good news, happy
thoughts, innocent mirth and cheerful say
ings are the most efficacious relishes, and
should be used freely. An uncomfortable
meal, whatever may be the cause, is almost
certain to produce indigestion. And though
such small matters may be thought by many
unimportant, they go very far toward the
establishment of good health, and even the
most robust cannot neglect them with i'm
punity

THE CITY ATTORNEY WAR.

Yesterday Messrs. Labatt & Aroni filed
rule to set aside the injunction granted
against B. F. Jonas, City Attorney, enjoining
him from performing the functions Of his
Office.
The ground upon which the rule was taken
is that the petition hal no affidavit attached
as required by law.
The action Of Hawkins in granting so will
ingly an order without exacting full CON-
pliance of the law is in keeping with many Of
his previous acts. Under the intrusion act
upon which Walsh is seeking to secure the
position, an injunction without bond and
affidavit can only be granted after judgment.
but in this case Hawkins, perhaps, thinking
the judgm ent was only matter Of time, did
not require an affidavit as in other cases.
The farce of appealing to some of our
courts for redress Of wrong is daily becoming
more apparent.
