The New Election Bill,

The Infamous bill originating
in the Senate last week to regu=
late elections in this State is, it
possible worse than the old one,
1t retains in tuIl force the Re
turning Board, consisting of five
members, three of whom are to
be appointed by the Governor
ana two to be elected by the
House. All know the character of
such men as will be the three
controlling appointers we sup,
pose that those who did the work
of infamy SO we'll in 1874 will re-
ceive the recognition their labors
entitled them to, and again occn
by the proud position of makers of
the government of a State called
in mo:kery sovereign. 1t must be
a source of qualification to every
true LOuisianian to note the ex-
pressions of Indignation and war
ming uttered by the conservati, e
minority in the Senate. The N.
O. Republican exclaims in holy
horror ut these expressions, and
affects to regard them as evidence
of an intention on the part of
Democrats to carry the approach
ing election by violence; they in
dictate no such thing: but they
do alphabetically denote the rooted
determination of the white men
OF Louisiana to enforce a just and
accurate count of their ballots in
November next. These utterances
are not bluster, either in words or
intent they are the grave warn
ingS of men who realize what
they say, and who, deprecating
the possible fearful results of the
desperate policy, are yet prepared
to meet in fitting manner the emer
gency, and only ask those in
whose power it lies to avert com.
motion, to do simple justice to all,
and avert the calamities. We be
lieve that the moving spirits in
the iniquitOus design of the Sen.
ate, are but the faithful hencllmen
of the controllers of the National
Republican Party, and desire
Outrages in Louisiana 20 infame
the minds of Northerners during
the presidential election. Let them
remember tue fate of the engineer
''holst by his own petard," and
beware lest they point the moral
OF the tale of their own iniquity.

1t all happened at the bridge
the other night and the struggle
was desperate and earnest. On
one side was the strong arm of
the law, on the other was two or
three burly sons of Africa, be
tween them was an irate individ
ual that seriously protested
against going to both ends of the
