the Hot Springs tract, aud the Court
says that the principal controversy be.
tween the parties to it was disposed of
by a decision in Hot Springs cases last
winter by declaring that none of them
we're entitled to the land, as the Supreme

either Of the parties, and by its action
saved the rights Of the United States.
No error is found and the decision below

Mrs. Thomas, lecturer, spiritualist,
Yankee and humbug, undertook to en-
terrain our citizens at twenty-five cents
each, or three for q quarter" at the
court house last Monday and Tuesday
nights. She had a dozen victims the
fret night, and mons the second. She
closed her brilliant engagement in
Brownsville by losing her pocket-book
as all tramps do every day, and then left
in great discomGt and disgust. Our citi'
zens were ditto on the latter. She ex
pressed satisfaction, however, at not be.
ing assassinated on the streets, but said
that some Of the Kukiux looked at her
very f%erociously. She was never in the
South before, and is perhaps pardona5lt
for her ignorance. Her attempts to en-.

Louisiana, the people will not
allow Gov. Kellogg and Mr..
Packard, with a too convenient
Returning Board, to Ku Klux
the vote. They were allowed to
do it in 1872, so far as the result
had only a local Importance, but
the Senate refused to admit the
Senator elected by their fraud.
They did it again in 1874, but
pnb1ic opinion forced a Repnbli-
can Congress to condemn the
fraud in the most positive and
conspicuous manner by nnseat-
ing some members of the Legis>
lature who were kukluxed in by
the Returning Board. We beg
the New Orleans Republican
managers to remember that their
previous frauds are well known
here III the North, and that as
men already detected and ex-
posed in kukluxing election re
turns, they need to be conspicu-
ously fair and upright this time
all their acts and proceedings
will be watched with most jeal-
Gus eyes by honorable men of
both parties in the North, and
they should remember the pre-
sumption lies fairly against them
because they have already been
detected in the same trick of
which they are now suspected.
