THE VOTING PROGRESSING QUIETLY IN THIS cry
ARREsrs-A HEAVY VOTE REINa poLLED
Between8 and o'clock, this morning, the
polls were opened at the voting places in the
several wards of the city. Everything had
passed OF quietly to O'Clock, the voters depos-
iting their ballots peaceably. Large crowds ara
gathered about the polls ar usual, and n deep
interest is taken throughout the city, which is
bringing out pretty full vote.
Several arrests were made for alleged illegal
voting during the morning. In the Second
Ward, Julias Weiss, an unraturaZed German,
undertook to vote, but was arrested by L. s.
Marshal Dunn, who, after cautioning him against
a. like attempt again, permitted him to co. as he
was evidently ignorant of the law, and had been
urged on by the Democrats who had advised the
attempt. Weiss has voted in the same ward
before with impunity, and his friends supposed
that he could safely make a second attempt.
The Marshal then notified those who had been
instrumental in bringing Weiss forward that
repetition of the attempt would result in their
arrest.
In the Fifth ward John Piner, colored, voted,
but was Immediately arrested, held for Court in
$500, by Esq. Publ and locked up in tho cells.
Piner, it seems, was not assessed, but claimed
is right to vote under the enforcement act.
Solomon Lewis another colored man, offered
his vote, but was arrested and sent to the City
Hall, it being alleged against him that he had
been convicted of felony, and was thereby de-
barred from voting under our State laws,

The Louisiana Election.

TREMENDOUS PRESSURE ON THE ooIoRED VOTE BY
THE WHITE LEAGUE AND KINDRED ErFoaTs-THE
sTATE REPUBLICAN.
Louisiana voted yesterday. In New Orleans,
and those portions Of the State which have tele-
graph communication, and havo therefore been
heard from, there were no acts OF Violence the
United States troops being kept iii their quar-
ters, where they might be called on, in case OF
riot All the accounts, except those in Demo-
cratic control, agree that wlnle no open violence
was Attempted, every means was used to terrifY
and intlmidate the colored vote.
The White League was fully organized aud
armed Placards were posted OH all the walls
OF New Orleans, gotten up in the true Ku-Klux
fashion, headed with skull and cross-bones,
and bearing certain cabalistic signs and figures,
such an collin outlines, cross daggers and drip
ping hands. Employers compelled their work
men and servants to vote the Democratic ticket,
and in order to detect them, il they did not, the
white League ballot was prepared, Of pecu-
liar. size and appearance marked OH the bacl,
with cross IL il beyond doubt that had it not
been well known By the White LeagHe that y.
~ troops were present aud in reserve in the
city, this intimidation would have taken bolder
front, and resulted in bloodshed.
AS a further means of reducing the Republi-
can vote, several OF the largo steam boats plying
upon the river were kept tied up at landings ten
or twelve miles above, in order to prevent the
colored men employed az crews from returning
to their homes and voting. After tho close OF
tho polls, last night, White League rifiians
sought to terrify the Commissioners who count
oil of the tickets. At Farmersyie, in Union
parish, the White League stole not only the bal
lot boxes on Sunday night but they carried off
all OF tho poll book lists. This was done to pre-
vent any election being held, the town being
heavily Republican.
Notwithstanding all this, there is no doubt
that the State has gone Republican, the majori-
ity claimed being from 5000 to 10000. The
the Congressman, four to Xix are certainly Of
that party, probably five, aud possibly the whole
six The Democrats, therefore, have not gained
more than two members and possibly none at

over fifty years ago youth working on q

to buy gun. The old man could not spare it,
but the boy, nothing daunted, found an old
piece of iron about the place and in the course
of time oontriyod to make gun barrel out of
it, with the very meagre facilities afforded by n

materials to make lock aud stock, so lie
walked to the nearest town and traded for
the necessary attachments, and was encour-
aged by tho smith for having made no good

another, 80 he went to cutting out grindstones
from the native rock to raise the money for gun
materials in n short time there was a consider
