TOO MUCH DELAY.

This dalllance in business and this absolute
refusal to make the Returning Board legal
body, are making very serious impression
upon the people who have lately carried the
the elections in Louisiana. Had there been a
desire to have legal Board. it could at once
have made vacancies by lot or otherwise. The
naked fact, that the members are all Of the
same party, contrary to lar and that they per
sist in the right to count. and still do not
proceed to count the returns, speak for them
selves.
This is trifing with great trust. It can
not be indefinitely tolerated.
A strong impression is growing that it is to
prolong this torture into the session of Con-
gress, and to restrain the people from the
fruits of their victory till Congressional in
reference can set aside the results Can it be
possible that it is intended to exasperate the
people to commit acts of violence at last, and
thus invoke Federal Intervention?
Consider that the Board, if properly con-
stituted, is only ministerial, and has no in
fuence upon the rights of parties. The
PEOPLE have chosen their officers, and the re-
suits are ascertained and notorious throughout
the State. Nothing that can be done or said
will, or can alter this fact. Two or three
clerks could count the results in two or three
days. and re-announce the facts well known,
except in very few instances, all over the
State
If the Board entertains the idea that they
can change these results for or against any
candidates, it may as well dismiss the fancy,
for we mean business, and understand each
other perfectly. No power shall or can
further deprive us of our triumph. We have
waited long years under outrages and oppres.
sions, until we have been twitted for our lost
manhood. Our forbearance has reached
either the sublime or the contemplate. In
either case it is at an end. Any further dila-
toriness will be accepted as recognition by
yourselves of an illegally constituted board,
and the people will install their officers elect
without the formalities required by law, and
which you will have failed to perform.
1t is needless to add that we went into this
election with solemn determination to act
fairly ourselves, and exact it scrupulously of
every candidate and voter, and to spurn for
ourselves any illegal vote or unfair manage
ment
But our determination was in like manner
solemn and sacred, to permit no shadow Of
unfairness in our opponents and woe unto
him or them, who now shall attempt to thwart
our triumph.
You would stir the fires of volcano! We
say, organize your Board constitutionally, and
at once perform your work, or Dissolve and re-
tire. The people will install their officers in
quiet and then exact from them honest and
thorough performance of duty.

Triumph Of Science and Art.


1t is wonderful what has been ACCOMPLISHED
within the last few years in the Improvement
and perfection Of photography. New discov-
cries are being constantly made, and add new
varieties to the sphere of its professors. A new
charm can be now added to the pendant orna-
trife contains within its tiny compass perfecs
portrait. 1t can be placed in any ornament the
wearer may designate-a breastpn, a sleeve
button, ring, miniature prayer book-indeed
in hundred varieties Of ornaments. A finished
photograph is made 80 small that the little dot or
period that ends any sentence in our paper may
completely cover it. When taken it is placed on
. powerful microscopic tense and introduced in
the ornament, and when looked at through the
little aperture presents the picture about the
size of silver dollar. Messrs. b. II &. Moses,
corner Canal and Camp, having purchased the
machinery for executing this work, are now en-
gagged at it. Prices are low. Call and see for
yourselves.

A GRACEFUL COMPLIMENT.

We desire to direct especial attention to
the subjoined correspondence between q COM
mittee of the Louisiana Jockey Club and a
committee Of the Grand Commanderv of
Knights Templar of the State of Louisiana,
and in so doing cannot refrain from express
ing our qualification at this manifestation of
kindly feeling on the part Of the members OF
the club towards an order whose mission is
"peace and good will towards men,"
The advent of the Knights Templar in
New Orleans, to celebrate the Grand Triennial
Convention of the order in the United States,
is an event Of no ordinary interest and signif-
canoe, occurring, as it does, at time when
our State has risen as it were from the ashes
of a profound despair, and sees once more a
bright future unfurling before her.
1t is an event, the importance Of which to
our people and State it would be difficult to
magnify, for from all sections Of this vast
country will come gentlemen Of every shade
of politics, who are naturally imbued with
various prejudices, and who will return to
their homes to speak of us as they find US.

emissaries. but they are men, and will, neces-
sarily, be influenced mere or less by what they
see of the people and the country. They will
assemble in New Orleans as soldiers of grand
army upon whose glorious banners are in
scribed only the victories of peace-which the
poet has told US are no less renowned than
those of war.
In view, therefore, Of the importance of the
visit of the coming Knights, we regard the &C
ton of the memb ers of the Louisiana locke
Club, in Offering handsome testimonial "for
the best drilled and appearing commandery I"
as especially opportune and felicitous.
1t will, no doubt, create the iveliest and
most generous rivalry on the part Of our own,
and the visiting Sir Knights, and the occasion
will, no doubt, be one long to be remembered,
not alone by the competitors themselves, but
by all those, who witness the brilliant display.
It was happy inspiration this idea Of ten
dering testimonial to the Knights-and we
thank the gentlemen OF the Jockey Club, on
the part of the community, for an act which
rebounds so largely to the credit of all parties
concerned.

RANK TREASON.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune states that there is conspiracy
on foot among prominent Republican leaders,
to throw Grant overheard. They claim that
all the disasters which have befallen the party
are due to the egregious blunders of the Presi-
dent and to the weakness of the leading
Republicans in Congress, in being led by him,
instead of correcting his mistakes Grant him
self regards az personal enemy, any one who
suggests that he was the Jonah and so there is
very "pretty kettle of fish indeed.
In the quarrels and antagonisms of these
South and for good government. The CO.
hesive power OF public plumber loses its
strength the moment there are signs of a
general dissolution Of the party, and the men
who have made the most money, those who
have their arms deepest down in the public
crib, will be sure to be the first to abandon
the sinking ship.
There are many who look forward to the
Senate's remaining Republican, but we
regard as among the certainties of
the near future the change of q
sufficient number Of Senators to give the
Democrats majority in both houses. The
men in the U. S. Senate who are Republicans
from conviction are very few, and can be
readily counted on ones fingers Grant is
nothing if not selt-willed and obstinate, and
it is easy to see that so far from using diplo-
macy or acting like statesman in this emer-
gency, he will become more stiff-necked and
impracticable than ever, and drive from him
all those who are not bound to him by money
ties SO strong that they cannot possibly be
broken. Altogether, in the language of Sou
West, at begins to thunder all along the
line"

THE RETURNING BOARD.

At the assembling Of the members Of the Re-
turning Board yesterday morning there was an
animated discussion on the article in the morn
ing's BULLETIN, entitled "A Peep Into the Flu
ture."
The gentlemen were rather good natured in
their remarks and with one exception seemed to
consider that the predictions of the seer, Madame
x, were not beyond the range of possibility or
probability, as being just what they might expect
as their Just deserts.
The one exception utterly repudiated the pre-
dictions, and asserted that some men (sgnif can't
ly emphasized, as meaning some BULLETIN
men), "would 60 to HI before he went to
Baton Rouge
The members all seemed to feel better after
this, and Wells brought them to order. The roll
call showed all the members present.
The box of poll of the Tenth Ward was
brought, opened and the tally sheets and state
ments of votes taken from it. The box was again

clerks. t....
The question of taking up the contest cases

sentng, the time was granted.
The Board then took up the parishes Of Pla-
quemine, st. Bernard, st. Charles, and Jefferson,
for the purpose of completing the canvass of the
First and Second Senatorial Districts, and after

WATCH 1T.

The case of the State ex rel. Thos. Lynne vs..
John Calhoun, Administrator of Assessments,
which we alluded to on last Sunday, was on
Thursday decided in favor Of the plaintiff, max
ing peremptory the writ of mandamus ordering
the City Attorney, through Calhoun, to pay the
claim of Lynne, of oyer six thousand dollars, IN
preference to other creditors.
Applications for appeal have been made by the
city of New Orleans 1.-THE real defendant), and
John Calhoun, Administrator, made respondent
in the proceedings, but both applications have
been refused. The only remedy which now re-
mains, and which we hope to see sought, is in an
application to the Supreme Court for q writ Of
prohibition, which will clearly lie.
We again respectfully call the attention Of the
Administrators, both outgoing and incoming,
to this case. II the precedent thus established
Of giving one judgment creditor a preference
over another is allowed to stand, the provisions
Of the act of 1870, requiring the recording Of
judgments and their payment in the order in
which they may be recorded, and as the funds
may be in the treasury to pay, are entirely dis
pensed with.
Virtually, an act Of the Legislature Is set
aside when the constitutionality of the act has
not been questioned, and actually review by a
higher tribunal denied. What is very singular
is the fact that the judges Of the Supreme Court
should summarily and without proper hearing,
refuse an appeal in case which is by its very
nature and in amount over $4,000, clearly appeal
able, particularly when the application is doubly
made as above set forth.
This case is somewhat enveloped in mystery,
which will no doubt be revealed at it progresses.
Again we simply say swatch it,
