A VACANT JUDGESH1P.

The legal opinion Of Mr.. Field on the sui
iect of naturalization is regular political
boomerang. It is having telling effect on
some Of Kellogg's pets, prominent among
whom is his Honor Barney Lynch. This worthy
SON of the Emerald Isle, it is said, derives his
right to vote and hold Office in this country,
from an order of the Second District Court.
The decision, then, of Mr.. Field, makes it
very inconvenient and uncomfortable for this
Irish disciple OF Jus tinian. He is declared by
Fields decree, 10 be blarsted furiner, and
not competent either to exercise the right OF
suffrage, or wear the Judicial ermine, in this
country, the Gland Of the free and the home
Of the brave"
So the jndgship Of the Fourth District
Court is now vacant. and all the decisions
Hitherto rendered by his honor, Judge Lyi.ch,
are absolute nulIities, in this that they were
given by an unnatnralized foreigner. who,
under the Constitution, is not allowed to fill
any official position Whatever, under the
State or National Government. So much for
the effect of MI. Fields learned opinion.
Let Kellogg appoint successor who will
sustain Fields opinion, and thus keep out Of
Office all such foreigners as Barney Lynch.

A White Mans Government.

President Grant received the votes of less
than q majority of the white voters of the
United Statos both IN 1868 and 1872. It now
appears that the recent elections show gain
Of 100000 votes for the Democratic party.
The New York World says:
We have shown by "posting the books to
October Is that the Democratic net majority
of the popular vote in the twenty-four States
which have held elections since the close of
the Presidential contest of 1872 is 1863, 657.
The same States in November, 1872, gave
Grant a net majority of $685. Thus the
net Democratic gain in less than two years
has been nearly 800, 900, and when the cleo
tons take place on the I'd proximo, it will be
shown that the gain is as much as 1850, 900.
This is the most extraordinary political revo-
luton on record. There has been no such
change in public sentiment in SO brief time
in our political history. It beats the Harn-
son upheaval all hollow. If the elections are
any criterion whatever, the Grant admins
tration is supported by but small minority
Of the people. A Democratic net gain of q
million and a quarter of votes demonstrates
that the Radical party has run its race, and
that it stands at last beneath the gibbet, upon
which an indignant people will strangle it on
the third day Of November next.

NO OSTRACISM
OUR NArURA1IzED CITIZENS CANNOT BE DIsFRAN-

/
CHIsED.
Mr.. Elitor-I notice proposition from Kel-
| lopg to the chairman OF the Conservative and
Democratic Com mittee, that on Monday, at
the polls, there to be two boxes, one for the
regular vote and the other for the deposit OF
naturalized citizens Of their vote, etc. also
notice an acceptance Of the same with the
modification that instead of two boxes, there
be only one, with t,oo compartments. This pro-
position, MIR. Editor, is infamous, and the &C
ceptance mistake. It involves a violation Of
the Constitutional rights of the naturalized
citizens, which are equal in every respect to
all citizens, irrespective Of nationally, color or
previous condition. One of these is the RICH
to vote "fol led" ticket, without question as
to who and for whom he votes.
No one is bound to declare openly and pub
licly for whom ne votes, and the depositing o.
the vote Of any particular cast, either OF
ma uraliZed or other citizens, is direct viola
ton Of constitutional rights. Kellogg might
as well ask that there be two separate or even
three separate boxes-One for the whites,
native born, one for the colored, and q third
for naturalized citizens.
The election law itself is plain; there shall
be but one box for the reception of the vote;
tn 1t box must be thoroughly exa mined by the
Commissioners Of Election, previous to any
vote being deposited and found to be with but
one compartment, and that box is the legal
box for the deposit Of the vote. If there be
more than one box, or only one box with two
or three compartments, whether by consent
OF the two parties, or by any other authority
than the law itself. the voting in that box
will be illegal and will not be counted.
So that if the vote of naturalized citizens
be deposited in q separate box, other than the
illegal box" it will be thrown out, and no
power is there to compel the same to be
counted, no matter how constitutional may be
the papers, and il one box with two or more
Compartments, then the whole vote will be
thrown out Ihe Radical party are fully
aware of this and hence the proposition Of
Kellogg
Let the Democratic and Conservative party
be firm and not yield one inch. Let the nat
uralized citizens, at their meeting tonight
"wednesday, Oct. 28), resolve to vote and to
have their votes deposited in the Irregular
legal box. and none other, and if this be not
permitted them, let them refuse to vote.
There can be no arrangements made by which
the constitutional and legal rights of citizens
can 10 jeopardized This right to vote is
sacred, and the voter has the right to see that
his ticket is deposited IN the rightful box.

We find in the Montgomery State Journal
Military General Order No. g." by David P.
Lewis, Governor, which places the volunteer
companies Of Mobile under command of the
Mayor, and forbids the removal of their arms
from the armory without his order. When
we remember that the acting Radical Mayor
of Mobile was not elected to that Office by the
people, but was foisted in by the DEGREES of a
partisan judiciary, it is apparent that this Or
der is only intended to produce irritation.
Issued just on the eve Of the election, it is a
measure well llculated tc excite resistance,
and perhaps to lead TO acts by which the
Radical party would hope to profit. 1t is only
another form of the tyranny which caused the
uprising in New Orleans. We hope, how
ever, that the people of Mobile will be calm
and prudent Only little longer will they
have to wait for peaceful radiance from such
rulers as Lewis and Observation-Disclosures { Ga }

MAJOR sEELYE.

The individual by this name, who is carry
ing things with such high hand in Monroe,
is not unknown to the people of New Orleans.
Some of Or "Conservative journals found
frequent occasion to besmesr him with their
praise for having performed some petty ser
vice in his capacity as . detective Of the
United States Post Office Department. In
1872 he marshaled the negroes together in
Monroe, and exercised his authority as a
United States official to Dungeon them into
voting for Morey, in whose service he had en-
listed. He is now operating in North Louisi.
ANA a. deputy United States marshal, ar
resting citizens and conducting himself gene
rally in manner entirely consistent with his
previous career.
He is again hireling of Morey, the candi
date for Congress-, and who defrauded his op
ponent, Judge Steele, out of the nomination
BY means that will cause many Republican
votes to be cast against Morey.
Having been dismissed from the service of
the Post Office Department for some question
able conduct, he is thus qualified to serve
Packard ss one Of his deputies, as he has
shown himself willing to do the dirty work of
any one for consideration.
Major Seelya. in all probability will visit
New Orleans after the election, to reap the
reward Of his valuable services. It is to be
hoped he will be amply repaid by an apprecia-
tive people.

HOW THE LAW Is ADMINISTERED IN
LOUISIANA.

"Gar," the correspondent of the New Yorl
Times (Regublican), writing from Montgom
cry, Louisiana, thus shows how the law is adj
ministered in this State:
Under the Radical officials there seems to
be no law save might The negro, caught
red-handed killing cattle, is sent to the Peni-
tentiary by the Parish Judge, and bonded out
in few hours. 1t is the impossibilty Of OBJ
the actions of the white men SO bloody. If
these men who steal cattle are brought to
trial, they are at once acquitted by the stupid
Judge who cannot read or write. but who con-
siders it his duty to stand by his color.
The jurors are mere blocks of ebony, know
ing nothing, caring for nothing, trusting i'm
plicitly to the instructions they receive from
the Judge. And if justice be impossible in
criminal matters, it is equally SO in civil pro-
cesses. Judge Manning, of Alexandria, told
me that he had to plead before such a jury,
and he examined them and found that not one
man knew the meaning Of plaintiff, or of de-
PENDANT, or of witness, or OF any legal term
whatsoever; and that they were utterly inca
pable Of following evidence Yet before such
men suits have to be tried involving immense
sums. The Citizens Bank of New Orleans
sued ex-Gov. j. Madison Wells for 100000.
The counsel for the prosecution, after sur
veying with heartfelt contempt and bitterness
the jury before him, turned to he Judge and
said May it please your Honor, the appear
ance of this most intelligent body of jurors is
sufficient to show me what amount Of Justice
my clients may expect from them. To ad-
dress them or to endeavor to explain the bear
ings of the law upon this matter will be I'M
necessary, since I know that they cannot
comprehend me, and that their minds are
already made up as to the verdict shall,
therefore, decline to plead, and appeal at once
to the Supreme Court" Even there, though
there is less ignorance and more law,
there is still the same partisanship, and suits
are settled not according to justice but accord
ing to politics. If the Republican party will
restore the wronged balance of Louisiana they
must do SO by an educational qualification.
The negro is absolutely unfit to be o juror and
it is lair question whether the man who is
unfit to be juror can be considered fit to
vote upon the public government Of the
country. "Free your mind from cant above
all things" was the advice of great English
writer. Let us do SO, North. Let US forget
the ideal negro of the novelist, and accept the
actual nan as he really is

LOUISIANA-FRAUD FOREVER.

The New York Sun, of the Oath inst, has ar
article under the above caption, which W.
reproduce below It shows that the work o.
Kellogg and his man Friday, in attempting tt
disfranchise the foreign vote Of this city and
to reinaugurate the reign Of Know-Nothing
ism, with its war against the Catholic church
and our foreign population, is having its effect
in the North.
We believe that when the foreign Repub.
ican voters of the country fully understand
the import of MI. Fields decision, and the
object had in view by the Republican party
in this State, as controlled by Packard, Kel-
logg, Field and Beckwith, they viii speak in
tones of thunder against such prescription,
and will give their votes against party that
attempts the perpetration of such palpable
outrages upon foreign citizens:
Says the Sun:
Kellogg and his partisans in Louisiana, en-
boldened by the presence of Federal troops
and vessels of war, and encouraged by the
assistance rendered by Attorney General Will
liams, are preparing to perpetrate more infa-
nous frauds in the coming election than those
"
free suffrage there mockery.
Not content with the work of intimi 1atien
carried on in the rural parishes by Deputy
Marshals and armed soldiers acting under
orders from Washington, his Attorney General
has set up the p1etense that all naturalization
papers issued by the Second District Court
since 1864 are void, this opinion being in
direct conflict with that held by all the Judges
and all the respectable lawyers in New Or
leans. It is expected that some four thousand
white voters will be DISTINGUISHED by this
means.
The Kellogg politicians have also been
practicing the Philadelphia method of manu-
featuring majorities for the Grant party. Tes-
timony mas been collected which shows that
preparations have been made for repeating, on
the most extensive scale, by colored voters,
acting under instructions from the carpet
baggers.
It has long been o matter of wonder to the
whites that the ratio of colored voters in for
mer elections should generally exceed one to
every three of their population, for there is no
such ratio among whites in any community
where free suffrage exists
The secret OF this is discovered. The ignor-
ant blacks have been taught to believe that
they have right to register in as many wards
as they can and the Picayuae says that over
two thousand Of these repeated registrations
have already been discovered this fall, and
this though the work of investigation has
hardly begun.
Villainy like this supplies fair illustration
Of the way in which the laws have been per-
sistently violated in Louisiana since the car
pet-baggers, under the protection of Grant,
have ruled that State and if the Republicans
in New York succeed in re-electing Gov. Dix,
that will be claimed as popular Endorsement
Of such infamous work.

VOICES OF THE PEOPLE.

A distinguished citizen and eminent law
yer writes us on the subject Of the ostracism
proposed by the desperate men who control
the State Government
I am Of the opinion that the naturalized
citizens should take the ground that there
should be no discrimination against them IN
the mode or manner Of receiving or counting
their votes.
If they stand squarely up Kellogg will back
down from his absurd position; If we com
promise he will throw them out finally.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer. ]
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL NOT DEAD.
The statement made in prominent West
ern journal that the Civil Rights bill will not
pass at the next session of Cong ess has no
warrant in fact. There was nearly two-thirds
majority in the the House Of Representatives
for the bill at the last session, and not one of
the members who then supported it has since
declared his intention to vote against it. The
bill, owing to parliamentary difficulties in the
existing condition of the business of the
House, could not be taken from the Speakers
table and passed save by two-thirds vote !;
but these impediments growing out of the
rules will not obtain at the next session for a
month or more. It will be perfectly compe-
tent for the majority to 60 to the Speakers
table and pass the bill.
At the last session, if the bill had passed, it
is believed that Grant would have vetoed it;
but since then he has thro wn himself into the
hands of the carpet-baggers, and has plainly
intimated to the notorious Senator Spencer,
in published interview, that he will sign the
bill when it is presented. 1t is barely posi-
BILE that an overwhelming Democratic ma
jority in the November elections may alarm
the Radical managers, and induce them to
send the bill to a committee, to be there
quietly smothered; but to secure this result,
stronger expression OF public sentiment will
be necessary.

REPUBLICANIsM IN FRANCE.

Mr.. Henri Sales, French political writer
has just published complete returns of all
the special elections which have taken place
for the French Assembly from the I'd o.
July, 1871, to the 18th of September, 1874
These special elections have been held at
eighteen different periods, and involved the
election of 1874 members in sixty-nine de-
partments and three French colonies
OF these 1874 members, 154 were elected as
Republicans, and 80 as friends of Monarchy.
Mr.. Sales further shows that nearly nine
millions of votes were polled at these various
elections, Of which 5,677,412 were cast for
the Republican candidates, 2,O27, 988 for the
Nonarchists 7l3, 49O for the Bonapartists, and
418, 756 for the Legitimists.
Il thus appears that from July, 1871, to
September. 1874, 5,674,412 votes have pro-
nounced in favor of q Republic,
whereas, 1t the same time the COM
bined strength of the Monarchist, Bonapart-
list and Legitimists parties only amounted 70
8 100 2S4 votes, leaving clear majority in favor
sf the Republic of 2,5l7.178. And yet there
are some American newspapers who persist in
asserting that the Bonapartist party is in the
ascendant in France, in the face of the above
official returns, which show that the ad-
herents Of the late imperial regime have only
polled one vote in t,oeIue, while the adherents
Of Theirs and Gambetts cast nearly two in
three.
The present Assembly is about as faithful o
representation of the French nation as KEEL
logg and his Legislature are OF the people of
1c 1isiana; and there. a. well as here, the
n urpers rely upon the army to sustain them
in their invasion Of the rights of their fellow
citizens.
In both cases, however, there is an aveng-
ing power. which is silently but surely pre-
pairing to deal summary justice on the spoil
ers, and to send the French plotters to private
life, while their flr meaner Louisiana imitators
will. if they receive their just deserts, be
transferred from the executive, judicial and
Legislative Offices, now defiled by them, to the
much more appropriate seclusion of the State
Penitentiary.
