THE OTHER ONE.

Joe >Conaughton, the third one,
who was cheated into 3 legislative
chair by the Returning Board, from
Rapides, and who we have always
looked upon as the best by far of the
Radicals ofRapides, has been in Nsr
Orleans for. over a month, and we
cannot say if he too will undertake to
claim the seat to which he knows be
has no shadow of right. We must
hope from his antecedents and what
we know of him that he will refuse to
take advantage Of the Wells-Ander=
son cheat, and not run the risk Of
further diving into Radical rascal.
ties. He knows he was not elected,
knows the election was a fair one and
that intimidation was not known at
the election, and so knowing we will
take neutral grounds in his favor and
hazard the opinion that he will act
right and let DeLacey and Crawford
do the dirty work to themselves.
Since writing this, we have receiv-
ed Saturdays New Orleans papers,
and find that Joe has gone and done
it, dashed all our good opinions Of
him to the dogs, and has proved false
to all his pledges and true to the in
instincts inherent in Rapides negro
radicalism. He has testified before
the Congressional Committee, and
like all the rest Of the same sort has
added palpable perjury to his soul
He lies as gracefully as all the rest
and will claim his seat, to which he
has been cheated in. For the pres
emit we forbear further comment, but
will certainly return to our three
frauds in the Legislative line and do
them up according to gunter.

CLEAN STEAL.-We have examined
carefully the figures in the promul-
cation of Rapides by the "Cheating
Board" as published in the New Or
leans Republican, which number We
intend preserving in our hecatombs
of curiosities, and find that the fol-
lowing precincts were thrown out just
so: Paurs, Cotile, Rapides, Prairie
and Wiley's. No evidence Of wrong
or informalities was adduced, but it
required simply these polls thrown
out to defeat our candidates, and it
was done with GOODNESS and cheek in
secret session. Daigre was not
thrown out simply because no fgur-
ing or subtractions of whole pre-
cincts could defeat him, hence the
cheaters had to leave him to U.S.
The tout ensemble will always make a
fine wall figure for places where the
gallows has not yet been abolished.

There is therefore every reason why
we should court investigation. Every
man in the Conservative ranks in our
Parish kept himself within the line
of right and Of law. We have moth
ing to lose by the closest scrutiny.
We have everything to gain by it.
With majority of 362 for our low
est legislative candidate, the Return
ing Board in defiance Of our plain
and uncontested right reported the
minority candidates elected. Ne
where, not even in De Soto, has the
outrage been more fragrant.
And there is another reason for
present forbearance. The counsel of
true friends is always worth needing
and there is pregnant concurrence
of appeal to US by our political SYM
pathisers out of the State to forbear
violence. 1t is advice difficult to
follow. Forbearance seems almost
to have ooacad to ha q virtua Tho
pill is hard to swallow, but let all
whom it nauseates take it with this
coating. 1t is the policy which more
than any other will disappoint the
most rancorous enemies, whose con-
centrated malignity and embittered
venom are typefed in the person Of
him whom Congressman Beck aptly
designated the Minister Of Injustice.

PERJURED.-Boss Packard has had
his swear before the Congressional
Committee, and as a patent matter of
course has heaped up another palpa-
BILE perjury in favor Of his accursed
party, and against the people of our
State. Of course he swung his per-
juries towards Rapides and took a
fresh swear at US. He states that
there was intimidation in Rapides,
which prevented the usual Radical
majority from exercising itself. All
we have to say as regards his affida-
Wit against us, it is like all its prede-
cessors of the same line, an infa-
nous, palpable and unmitigated lie,
he, Boss Packard, knew it was a lie
when he was uttering it, and he only
added another hell-born perjury to
his already perjured soul, and carried
out the infamous Vaccinations of the
party Of which he is an acknowl-
edged and corrupt leader.

OUR ENTRY.

Several of our country exchanges
have been bantering on the Greene
family, Of Lincoln Parish, and the
Boult family, of Natchitoches, being
the champion family Office holders,
and have accordingly boosted Of it.
Not. wishing to deny the right Of. a
man fixing of his children in the pap
line, and admiring it as good prin-
ciple to stick to friends and relatives,
still we must as matter of staple
record, gently enter old Rapides in
the race and claim her right in the
family-supply line. She, in her mis-
cry and her down trodden and pros
trate state, without malice, through
the medium Of the Democrat, makes
the following good 81 owing on her
slate. The President of the Return
ing Board, whose name we need not
mention here, for it is just now we'll
known, is the Boss Of the entry of
Rapides. His son No. l is a Tax
Collector and Assessor, No. 2 is Pub
lie Administrator, No. 8 is Clerk of
the District Court, No. 4 is Deputy
Post Master, No. S has West Point
ticket and No. s, his beau fills, is Post
Master. Now, we do not for a single
instance gainsay that these officers
are all good and efficient, ones, nor do
we allege anything of the kind against
them, but simply feel constrained to-
come to the rescue of our Parish, ask
for her rights, and wish the blue rib
bond at once accorded to her, unless
some other Parish can mark down
better time. -

Plain Talk to Young Lawyers.

Judge Underwood, of Rome, Ga, said
to four young lawyers who had just
passed an examination in his court :

but you don't know anything. Like
these young fellows Just back from their

you ever get to be Of any account, you
will be surprised at your present igno-
rance. Don't be too big for your breeches.
Go round to the Justices court and try to
learn something. Don't be afraid-let
off upon high key. You will, no doubt,
speak a great deal of nonsense. You
will have one consolation nobody will
know it. The great mass Of mankind
take sound for sense. Never mind about
your case, pitch in-you arc about as apt

Stand to your rack, fodder or no fodder,
and you will see daylight after awhile
The community generally suppose that
you will be rascals. There Is no abSo-
lutte necessity that you should. You may
be smart without being tricky. Lawyers
ought to be gentlemen. Some of them
don't come up to the standard, and are a
disgrace to the fraternity. They know
more than any other race generally, and
not much in particular. They don't
know anything about sandstones, carbon
ferrous periods, and ancient land animals
known as fossils. Men that make out
they know a great deal on these subjects

superb humbugs. They are ancient land
animals themselves, and will ultimately
be fossils. You are dismissed with the
