DEFEAT KELLOGGS PET FRAUD.

| Let every voter to-day scrutinize his ballot
carefully, and be especially sure to vote against
the amendments. Every man who votes for the
amendments, or any one of them, aids KEEL
logg in consu nmating one Of the boldcst
frauds and most unconscionable attempts al
robbery ever proposed.
Citizens Of Louisiana these amendments
would fasten upon you for all time stain
which not all the waters of the vast ocean
could wash out, a stigma that no species Of
sophistical argument or logic could eface.
More than this, these amendments would
enable Kellogg to put hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars in his pockets and stink
away from New Orleans with abundant riches,
wrung from us by this transparent fraud,
laughing at the stupidity Of people who woul :
of carpet-baggers and rog1es. Remember
therefore, not only to vote against the amend
ments yourselves, but to see that your neigh
bors and friends do likewise.
Time enough to tamper with the debt Of the
State when honest men supp.ant the thieves
now in Office. Be very sure that unless the
Gubernatorial ring had vast quantities Of
spurious claims against the State to be funded
that this funding bill would never have been
heard of, and be sure, likewise, tina: no action
of the Funding Board can possibly render in
valid any honest claim against the State. It
may increase the States Indebtedness i'm
mensely, but cannot reduce it one farthing.
Think for moment that Of the character OF
the majority of the men of the board-kel-
logg Lowell, Clinton, Antoine; .faugh! these
names alone must carry conviction to the
mind Of every honest man Of the dishonest
purposes Of the act In voting against the
amendments We will Illustrate an immense
scheme concocted by these men for their per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

HIRED BULLIES.

The Republican party, we learn, are resort
ing to the plan adopted in times past by the
Know NotLings, Of setting DULLES to work on
the day of election for the purpose of intimi-
dating voters and creating a disturbance
wherever it may be required to throw out the
vote OF certain poll.
Men have been hired by tie Republicans to
do this dirty work, and these men claim to be
Democrats, and on the day of election they
viii profess 10 be working in the cause Of the
Democratic party, but in reality are its secret
foes, and will attempt to produce trouble in
the interest Of the Radicals.
Our people should look after these DULLES
and Thugs, and if any Of them attempt any
high-handed conduct at the polls let them be
promptly quoted and rebuked in manner
that will teach them that we are in no mood
to be triaed with, or insulted by such hire

MERRIuL'5 CONDUCT TO BE INVES.
TIGATED,

The latest intelligence from Washington is
that the orders of Gen. Emery commanding
Major Merrill to cease interfering with the
people Of North Louisiana by causing their
arrest upon his own affidavit, have been ap-
proved by the War Department. The full
correspondence between Gen. Emory and
Major Merrill has been sent for by the Secre-
tary of War with a view to thorough exami-
nation Of the unwarranted and unofficer-like
conduct of the latter Under any other ad-
ministration such outrages as Lew Merrill has
been guilty of would have long since caused him
to be cashiered and dismissed the service
which he disgraces by his bitter partisanship.
But his Radical proclivities and devotion to
the interests Of his party will more probably
secure for him rapid promotion than dis
honorable discharge. Such are the times in
which we live

TODAY.

The f1tuSs destiny Of Louisiana hangs upo'
the result n the election to-day. Under ordi
nary circumstances, with an honest Executive
legitimate Government and an honorable
Political foe to contend against, there woult
not be the slightest difficulty in predicting thu
final verdict at the ballot-box.
But it is not So We have an infamou.
usurpation, headed by a desperate impostor
making last struggle for power, for recoSnl
ton and for vindication. Backed in his war
fare against free and honest government by
a horde of INSCRIPTIONS, plant and corrupt
hirelings and lick spittles there is no trick, nc
swindle, no outrage, no violation OF law thai
will not be invoked to give success to this
their final effort to perpetuate their possession
of the Government Of the State.
In all of their plots and schemes, however
they will find that on this occasion they Will
have to deal with people who nave resolved
not to be tempered with in any manner, ana
who are determined to exercise fully every
political and legal right guaranteed to them
by the laws and Constitution of the Republic.
Fraud and intimidation will not be counte-
nanced, and woe be to him who attempts to
practice either.
Six years of submission to most infamous
and corrupt government +; SIX years OF sub
mission to the spoliation of a hungry and
da,tardly horde of vampires, and six years OF
patient liberation Of outrages and indignities
never yet borne by free people, have made
the people of Louisiana resolute III their de-
termination to throw OF the CALLING yoke and
sovereign State in the Union.
When people enter into a contest with
such spirit, with such grand object in
view, and with such fearful consequences
staring them il the face which must inevita bly,
follow failure, there can be no doubt of their
earnestness, their sincerity, and their zeal in
the discharge Of SO solemn duty, upon the
faithful performance Of which so much for
veal OF tor woe depends; and there can be no
doubt as to the final result.
Never in the history of the State have the
people been SO generally and SO thoroughly
aroused. And never has there been an occa-
sion when enthusiasm, interest and devotion
to duty have been more required than III the
present political contest.
With a full consciousness of the grave re-
sponsbility resting upon them, we believe
the white people of Louisiana will do their
whole duty to-day.

ONE DAY FOR LOUISIANA.

To-day each and every citizen is expected
to do his duty as freeman. An election il
to be held which win determine for the present
the fate of Louisiana. Our enemy is using
every device to defeat u.s. The necessity Of
electing our candidates is too well known to
be recapitulated, but it may not ne amiss to
remind our people Of the grave responsibilities
| that rest upon them. Our corporations, cot
ton presses, car companies, merchants, foun-
drymen, and employers in general should give
their employees time, not only to put their
ballot 10 the box. but should, if possible, nay
ought to give them the entire day, in order
that they may vote, watch their ballots and
see them counted. If we lose the election our
merchants can hope for little business, trade
will languish and capital flee. The State
gained, one days loss will be repaid thous-
sand fold.
Our clerks and laboring men should poll
their votes early, and spurn with indignation
any attempt to influence their votes, remem-
bering that those who would use their ballots
against the people are as despicable as the
Lirelings who used their bullets against them
on the 14th of September. The cause for
ahich we fought with bullets is the same as
that for which we are now about to fight for
with ballots. He who would use the ''ballot"
would use the "bullet' against his own party.
Let every citizen devote his time, energy
and influence to promote the success Of our
ticket Erase no names Vote solid. Let
each and every man be guardian of the
peace, and discountenance any violence or
disturbance at the polls. Let peace reign, 50
that our enemy, routed at the ballot box, can
not rally and change the fortunes Of the day
by raising the cry of riot and intimidation,
and thus throw out our ballots.
In order that these various duties devolving
upon our fellow-citizens may be faithfully per-
formed, it will be necessary for them to de-
vote the whole of their time and attention to
the election, and to give ZONE DAT FOR LOUIS
lana !"

GATHER THE FRUITS OF THE VIC
TORY.

To-day the Democratic line in Louisiana,
J inspired by the recent victories in Ohio and
Indiana, and by the evidences Of firm re-
solve and united action on the part Of the
people. who Of right ought to be and mean to
be free, is advancing with unbroken front and
determined tread to rout the Radical cohorts
from their strong holds in this State. Every
thing presages brilliant success.
| 1t is Of the utmost Importance that the fruits
of victory be reaped to the fullest extent.
When defeated, the enemy will endeavor to
rally his broken strength, and under the sense
less cry of intimidation strive to regain his
lost ground But this will not avail, and it
will be futile to attempt it.
Intimidation. With Claverhouses like Mer-
rill and his gang dragooning the State, drag
ing peaceful and unofending citizens from
their homes at night, lettering their limbs and
consigning them to loathsome dungeons, with
out any warrant of law except the "higher
law" Of those who wish to reduce the people
Of Louisiana to condition OF "chains and
slavery"
ready, at beck and nod, to obey the orders
which may be given to them by their new
commanders, Packard and Williams, whose
vindctiveness is only equaled by their will
ingness to employ unwarranted means to OBJ
tain unjustiiable ends
Intimidation with the navy in the "great
inland sea, whose waters should be studded
with the white-winged messengers Of COM
MERGE, and not with frowning men-of-war,
whose bristling guns, double-shotted, stand
ready at a moments notice to belch forth
their contents, and to hurl their deadly mis-
siles in the midst of peaceful city.
The very idea is absurd, and the people of
the country cannot be made to believe that
the Radicals Of Louisiana are intimidatel,
after such tremendous efforts AS have been
made to infuse courage into them. To charge
intimidation now would be to confess them
selves the veriest cravens in existence, I'M
worthy the support OF sympathy Of any peo-

We observe that some of our exchanges, in
footing up an opposition majority in the next
House, reckon on six or seven Conservative
members from Louisiana and Alabama We
might remark that the people Of this State
and Illinois, believing that the Federal power
will be employed to crush out any true ex-
preston of the popular viii in Louisiana and
Alabama, have made up their minds to place
about nine or ten opposition Congressman OF
their own where they will do the most good
1t may crafty Attorney General Williams and
Marshal Packard to know that the policy by
which they hoped to prevent the election Of
say six Conservative congressman in Louisi-
ana and Alabama. has rendered certain the
election of four additional opposition men,
bers in Missouri, and all the way from six to
ten in Illinois. 1t is safe to say that for every
Conservative candidate who may be defeated
by the Federal dragons in the South, six will
be elected in the North.-S. Louis Rep"o!i-

One Of the trivial causes for which Demo.

stopping Of a mail rider, for few minutes.
by order Of the Sheriff, until he could arrest
some lawless negroes. But in Louisiana Fed

telegraph wires for miles, and stop communi-
cation for many hours, and nothing is said
