decided majority in both houses, and elect
four Congressman, perhaps the entire Con-
gressional delegation.

Our Enemies.

The report that the Spanish government
had quarantined New Orleans is in keeping
with the absurd notions which elsewhere
prevail regarding the health Of this city.
New Orleans is to-day the healthiest city of
its size in the Union; it has been so since
1867. This the REPUBLICAN has repeatedly
shown, as have our contemporaries, without
being able to counteract wholly the insidi-
Gus work of our commercial enemies. Every
year q few cases of yellow fever occur here,
as this year. The disease yields easily
to proper treatment, and is less fatal
than many contagious diseases which pre-
vail In Northern and Western cities.
For some weeks the city has been
free from all traces of the fever,
and yet strangers. and even many Of our
absent citizens fear to come here, owing to
the reports of yellow fever which have
been industriously circulated to our injury.
New Orleans people can be found at mahy
of the way stations on the railroads leading
to this city; they are the over. credulous
who have been prevailed upon to benefit
country landlords, through fear to return
to their homes. Thoughtless letter writers
here have added to this fear, and the pa
pers of other cities and Associated Press
agents at other places have too willingly
given currency to unfounded rumors of yell
low fever in New Orleans. On the twenty
third of October the medical director of the
Department of the Gulf reported to the sur
geon general of the army the result Of
yellow fever in this city during the season.
From the best information at his command
he reported the occurrence of eighty -four
cases and forty six deaths up to the date of
his letter. This the news gatherer at Wash
ington seizes upon and spreads before the
country at large, adding that there had
been no frost, and that the thermometer
stood at 800, leaving the impression that the
fever was still raging here, and was likely
to increase until freezing weather came.
These reports and Misrepresentation are
most mischievous and disastrous to New
Orleans, and we beseech all who wish we'll
for our city to inform their friends in all
directions that they should come here if
they wish to enjoy good health. If for any
purpose some of our citizens wish to keep
their families longer away, let them do go
honestly and not spread reports of yellow
fever when, as now, We have no fever. In
stead of an epidemic we have healthy
city, glorious Indian summer, theatres
and the opera in the full tide of success
excellent business prospects, and starving
undertakers and doctors.

Colonel G. G.. Baylor.

A colored cardinal in the future, was the
subject Of lecture in the Congregational
yestry of Rockland, on Sunday, BY Colonel
c. G Baylor, formerly of Georgia He said
that Brazil was an empire, and would in
due time absorb the other states of the
southern continent; and that the United
States was a republic, and would absorb
the other states of the northern continent ;
that the one was Catholic and the other
Protestant; and that when the Catholic
empire of South America and the Protest
ant republic of North America are fully de-
velOped there must come q struggle be-
tween the two. Right between these lies
the negro, numbering $4,000, 900 on the two
continents, and holding the balance of pow
or. The destinies of the new world turn on
the negro. If New England, the brain of
the United States, is false to the negro, then
will be the opportunity of the Roman Cath
olic Church. She will offer him within her
pale what Professionalism has failed to give
him, and to show this she will elevate one
Of his number to the highest place bat one
in hergift. Colonel Baylor predicted that
the next cardinal appointed in this country
would be . negro and that be should be

THE ELECTIONS,
Republican Tidal Waves,

The press dispatches Of last night report
enough Republican victories to keep De-
mocracy dead for another four vears. The
hopes of that wayward party, as regards q
national victory, were all centered ON Penn
sylvania, and our kilograms indicate that
the old Keystone State is still true to the
Union, and Republican enough to reelect
Hartranft Governor, though by small ma
jority.
The State Of New York is yet doubtful.
The half of the State heard from gives
Bigelow a small majority, which will
probably be overbalanced by the Seward
majorities in the other counties. Kings
county loses 5000 Democratic votes, and
their loss is our gain. But more important
than the election of Secretary of State is the
complete defeat and overthrow of the cor
rupt Tammany Ring of New York city. The
walls of Boss Kelley's fort, and the strong
holds of Tilden, have been battered down
by honest votes, to the rejoicing of robbed
and long suffering people, who demanded
and have secured real instead of sham
reforms. Not a single Tammany candidate
is elected in New York city.
Little New Jersey, long Democratic-rid-
den and abused by place hunters, comes up
nobly, overcoming Democratic majority
of $4,000 shown at the previous election;
now she has Legislature elect with hand.
some Republican majority in both houses.
Massachusetts, has always been right in
her Legislature; but last year Democratic
Governor was smuggled into office. He
now steps Gown and out by the will of the
people, and Rice, Republican, will take his
place.
In Minnesota the Republicans gain 10, 900
| votes, and will elect all State officers ex.
cepting the Treasurer.
From Chicago we learn that the Cook
county election was hotly contested by the
Democrats, and the Republicans win.
What for the Democratsi A cold crumb
of comfort comes from the lakes, and the
Democrats elect the mayor of Detroit. They
have held on to Virginia, and seem to have
kept Maryland. They also claim Missis
| sippi, and Mr.. Granger Hemingway is un.
| doubtedly elected Treasurer. Mississippi
has Republican majority amounting to
10000. That she has gone Democratic by
! shOtguns and intimidations against honest
votes is the White Line party's shame and
the States disgrace. From dispatches re-
ceived we concede to Mississippi quiet
election and triumphant Democratic mi
nority.

How the South Is to be Trapped into
Supporting Tilden.

How sno SCUM Is 10 ne trapped Into
Supporting TiIdeD.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes, under date of Oc
tober 81:
1t has leaked out here that coalition
was recently made between tho hard money
Democratic Congressman of New York and
the Eastern States and those of the West
to unite in supporting Michael C. Kerr, of
Indiana, for Speaker of the House, the
Western partisans of Kerr agreeing to sup.
port Tilden for the Democratic nomination
for President in consideration of the sup
port given Kerr for, Speaker by the East,
The election OF Kerr under this arrange
ment, and the fact that Western Democrats
are divided upon a Western man for Presi-
dent, give the friends of Mr.. Tilden cause
to hope for his success in the National Dem
ocratic Convention. Should this coalition
succeed in electing the Speaker Of the
House, the great power and influence of
that position would be directed to advance
the political fortunes of Tilden. Since the
Ohio election prominent Democrats freely
admit the blunder of imitation, and
acknowledge the election of Randall
would perpetuate the blunder and
make their defeat next year certain. Ran.
dali is regarded as the candidate of the in
hatiOnists, and the hard money Democrats,
believing his election as Speaker would be
regarded by the country as q victory for
soft money, deem that his defeat is de-
manded alike by sound policy and party
expediency. The Democratic delegation
from Pennsylvania and majority of that
from Ohio are said to be favorable to Ran
dali. and it is feared q large number of
Southern members have also pronounced
for him. Recognizing RandalFs strength
and the Importance of the issues that will
grow out of the organization of the next
House, the hard-mOney Democrats are
determined to leave no effort untried to de-
feat him. Their first effort will be to elect
but failing to unite sufficient strength on
him they psOpOse to take ex-Governor
Walker, of Virginia. Tildens partisaus
prefer to beat Randall with Kerr. because
that would tend to keep the hard and soft
and prevent them from uniting on
presidential candidate from that
section, and because the choice of a
Western man for Speaker would prejudice
to some extent the presidential prospects of
Hendricks. Failing to nominate Kerr,
Tilden's friends. from the same regard for
his future preferment, will push Walker,
whose election would be credited to the
South, and the members from that section
will be expected to agree and adopt Tilden
in the national convention in consideration
for the Speakers gavel. Some of the West.
ern Congressman who have been here re-
Gently do not appear satisfied with the
Walker contingency, and are suspicious
that the friends of Tilden are preparing to
make terms with any faction to promote
the interests of their presidential candidate.
They recognize the Importance Of defeating
an infiatiOnist candidate for Speaker, but
think the contest should be fought out
without regard to the interests of any par
ticular Presidential candidate,

Governor Kellogg, having received the
records in the cases of two parties con.
victed of murder and sentenced to the ex.
treme penalty of the law, addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the late Judge of
the Superior Criminal Court:
STATE OF LOUISIANA, }
Executive Department
New Orleans October 20, 1875.
| Hon. George H. Braughn:
SIR have before me, under considera-
| tiOD. the records in the cases of William
| Davis, alias Bill Williams, alias Whisky
Will convicted before the Superior Crimi-
nal Court OF the crime of murder, and d r.
Henderson, also convicted before the ame
| court, of the crime of murder, and both SEN
| fenced to death.
| At the time of the trial of these cases YOU
were the presiding judge OF the Superior
Criminal Court, and desire to know from
| you whether, i'll your judgment, there were
| any facts elicit in evidence which should
| operate to bring about mitigation by the
executive of the sentence passed by the
court in either case.
Iperceive from the records that NO motion
appears to have been made, in either case,
for an arrest of judgment, or an appeal, and,
therefore, as matter of preoaution, address
this inquiry. Awaiting your reply, l re-
main, very respectfully,
WILLIAM +. KELLOGG.
Judge Braughn replied as follows:
New ORLEANS, October 80, 1875.
Governor William p. Kellogg, Present:
DEAR GovERNOR-Ina answer to your COM
munieation of the twenty ninth instant, in
quiring whether, in my Judgment, there
were any facts elieited in evidence which
should operate to bring about mitigation
by the executive" etc., have the honor to
that hnfh rho hot
of William Davis, alias Whisky Bill, and
ID. T. Henderson no testameutary circum-
stance appeared. The evidence showed
both cases to have been brutal and pre-
meditated murders, devoid of all provoca-
tion and capable of no defense. In my
opinion Q mitigation of their sentences
would be mercy ill applied.
Fhave the honor to be your excellency's
humble servant, G. II. BRAUGHN.
A like communication from the Governor
to District Attorney McPhelin elicited the
following reply:
New ORLEANS, November 2, 1875.
To His Excellensy, William P. Kellogg:
SIR-ln response TO your inquiry relative
to the cases of D. r. Henderson and Bill
Williams, alias Whisky Bill, now under SEN
tence OF death Tor murder, would state
that can discover no mitigating circum-
stance in either case to warrant a cOmmuta-
tion OF the sentence, much less a pardon.
Respectfully,
JOHN MCPHELIN,
District Attorney.
In each of these cases the Governor yes
terdsy ordered warrants to be prepared,
and will to-day fix the date on which the
sentence will be carried into execution.
No reply has yet been received with re-
gard to the Ouachita cases from the Judge
