The result Of the late election in
Louisiana, according to the decisions
of the board of canvassers, shows
three Republican and three Demo-
cratic members of Congress. The
House is nearly, if not quite, a tie, as
ex-Gov. Hahn and other conservative
Republicans will probably remain
neutral. The constitutional amend
ments are declared carried by about
10000 majority. Bienville Parish.
which gave Grant and kellogg 600
votes in 1872, and Dubuclet no vote
this year, is not counted, and Grant
Parish, the scene Of the Colfax mas
sacre, is also thrown out, although it
gave small Republican majority.

The next Legislature will be called
upon to elect four Regents for the
University, and in selecting these
men the members should pick out
the best men in the State. Judge E.
Wakely, of Omaha, and Hon. J.
Sterling Morton, of Nebraska City,
are gentlemen who would be the
right men in the right place, and we
hope the members will see fit to elect
them.-LincOln Spy.
1t is probable that the politics of the
men to be selected as Regents should
not be a test OF qualification, but it
strikes us as singular that the best
men the State are both Democrats.
The Spy could not at all think that
there is single Republican in the
State fit to be made Regent for the
University.

NEW ORLEANS.
Fighting in the Streets-Resisfanee 60
National Authority Threatened
About the Result OF the
CanYRsed V0te-The
White League

War has broken out afresh lin New
Orleans. The pretext how for riots,
murders and afrays, in that unhappy
country, is the action Of the board of
canvassers of the late election returns
who. In some cases, decided adversely
to the democratic party. According
to the decision Of the board a republi-
can governor is elected. and a small
republican majority in the Legislature.
To arrive at this result several thou
sand votes of several parishes were
thrown out or not counted. When
things were made known the people
became infuriated, and blo0dshed
upon every hand ensned, and the war
still gces on undated.
The following dispatch to New
York by ex-Gov. McEnry, will give
some Idea of the feeling that prevails
among the people down there:
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 25th.-The
wrong just perpetrated by the return
ing board against the people of Lou
isiana, and which virtually threatens
the safety and integrity of republican
institutions in the United States, Is a
more cTOwning infamy than the ac-
ton of the Lynch returning board.
1t surpasses even the midnight order
of Durell, and would not be submit
ted to by any free people. Resistance
70 national authority, represented
here by large portion of the army
and naval feet. sustaining the usur-
patton and, sitting the voice of the
people. has now been meditated.
(Signed) JNO. MCENRY."
The mostimportant rencounter that
has taken place in the streets of New
Orleans was one between ex. Cover
nor Yarmouth and Dan. G. Byerly,
manager of the New Orleans Bulletin.
Yarmouth and Byerly met on the
street. ard without exchanging O
word Byerly knocked Yarmouth
down with a club. when the latter
drew knife aud stabbed his antago-
mist six times, from the effects Of
which Byerly soon afterward died.
Yarmouth was arrested and put in
prison.
The riots so far have been confined
principally to small parties of negroes
and whites. which generally result in
several negroes getting killed. while
the whites entirely escape. What
will be the end of this deplorable state
of affairs is not easily determined,
but the end is not yet.
From the beginning of the election
campaign in Louisiana, the white
leaguers determined and pledged
themselves to ban and prescribe all
republicans, black or white; and
openly declared. as well as secretly,
that they would elect their men at all
hazards. And for this end they have
imtlmidated voters contrary to law.
and tampered with ballot boxes, and
because they are brought to account
for their misdeeds, and their knavery
exposed, and because justice in some
degree is being enforced by the re-
turning board, they who break laws
and set at defiance all law and right
by the might of their secret COM bina-
tions, proceed TO knock down those
they cannot vote down. and to threat
on even resistance to national author
ity. Let them resist. They will,
possible, "get their rights" again as
they got them at the end Of the Jeff
Davis rebellion. It is hoped that at
all events they will got their just de-
serts.

POISONED BY EATING TOAD
sTooLs.-Our worthy fellow towns
man, D. c. H. Rothschild came
very near being called to the home
of his fathers last week in conse-
quence of eating of some poison
fungus which the children had
gathered for mushrooms. The Chi
nese cook supposing them to be
genuine had prepared them for
breakfast without Mr.. Rothschld
being aware of their being in the
house, he and his little daughter
partook very sparingly of the dish,
not liking the flavor, and the Chi
naman also ate a portion. All three
were taken violently sick, and the
little girl dangerously SO, but by
the prompt action of DR.. Calhoun
they were brought out of danger,
but we're very sick for two or three
days. The virulenoe of the poi
son Of these toad stools may be
known from the fact that the cook
fried an egg in the pan where he
had cooked the toad stools, which
one of the little boys eat, and he
also was made sick, but not 50 dan
ously as the others. Mushrooms
are excellent eating but if people
are not acquainted with the pro-
per kind they had better leave all
these fungus growths alone.
