OLYMPIA. SATURDAY MORNING. DEC. 9, 1876.
Two Striking Facts.

The list of Republicans now in
New Orleans discloses two curious
things: First, that none of the able
men of the Republican party are on
the ground; and second, that none
of its conspicuously upright men are
there. The ablest of them is John
Sherman, pettifogging country
lawyer; and one of the best of them
is Garfeld-Heaven save the mark !!
Most of them are men of no reputa-
ton, good or bad, and wholly I'M
known to the great audience of the
nation. They are mostly Grants OBJ
scure friends. The Democrats, on
the other hand, are represented by
some of the first men in the country,
and their whole delegation does not
comprise single man of obscure
record or tainted reputation. The
fact is, that the prominent Republi.
cans throughout the country were
too wise to go to Louisiana. They
foresaw that infamous frauds would
be attempted, for which they would
be held responsible because of thei
presence and their sympathy will
the men who committed them. The.
foresaw, too, the intense popular in
dignation that would follow any sucl
attempt, and they knew that the i'm
plicated men would be branded for
ever by the wrath of the American
people. They foresaw clearly tn
ful6lment of the prediction OF tn
Ne,c York Herald that the Republi
can leaders who are even remotel..
connected with such deed 6" vii
dig deep their own graves, and tw'
years hence they will be buried be
You'd hope of resurrection" Lik'
wise men, Evarts and Dix, and tn
more distinguished Republicans, SCI
the wrath to come and fee away.

The Most Amazing Thing OF ALL

It has already been frankly admit
ted by the more impartial of the Re-
publican correspondents now in New
Orleans, that the vote Of the State as
cast gave decisive Democratic major
ity. But this, however, was to be
transferred into Republican MAORI
ty by throwing out the vote of five
parishes where intimidation and vio-
lence are alleged to have prevented
Republicans from voting. This was
audacious enough, but the latest
phase of the Louisiana trouble bids
fair to outstrip all known feats of
brazen fraud. A correspondent OF
the New York Tribune telegrapbs
that ga grave doubt now exists in re-
gard to their being a Republican ma
jority in the remaining parishes, even
after the omission of the vote in East
and West Feliciana, East Baton
Rouge, Ouachita and Morehouse
Parishes. These are the five parishes
whose votes were to be thrown out
to give the State to Hayes. The cor
respondent continues, GA table
prepared by prominent Republicans
of this city, who have excellent oppor-
tunities for obtaining correct infor-
nation, makes the State very close,
without the vote of the parishes
named" The correspondent naively
adds: i" It must not he concluded
from this that the prospect of the
Democrats carrying the State has
been improved" To be sure! who
would draw such conclusion with
Kellogg's Returning Board in exist
ence? Tilden might have carried
every parish in the State, and Hayes
would be sure of the electoral vote
Just as sure as the men who are going
to steal it for him will be of political
ruin, if not of the penitentiary itself.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor IL noticed in the report of
the Council proceedings that it recommended
all the persons who applied, four in number,
to the County Court for license to sell liquor.
The present Council, whose exit from exist
ence is SO close at hand, and whose funeral, l
trow, will not be attended by many mourners,
has gained this one distinction, ofbeing quick
to do some things it ought not to have done,
and very slow to do that it ought to have
done. But will the County Court grant this
Wholesale license? For one 1 hope they will
not, but adhere to the position they took last
spring aud give license only to the Hotel
keepers ; holding them to the strict per-
Torrance of the conditions laid down in the
bond. Two places of this character, with the
help given by several drug stores, is enough
in all conscience for a town of 1900 iuhab-
itants. 1t may be said the parties who apply.
but being denied, have beer selling, and will
continue to do SO; better that they do it legal
iy. So much the worse for them. IF such
be the fact concerning them, this of itself
should estop the granting of license to them ;
for if the law.is shirked in the dry tree, what
would they not do in the green
No, gentlemen magistrates, conservators of
the peace aud good morals of this community,
maintain your high ground /! Open no more
gatcwsys to woe and misery, aud grant no
further license to blight and destroy homes,
hearts and character, and the blessing of the
good and an approving conscience shall be
your reward. $50 MOTE IT BE-"

re When you see a man that shuf1es
loosely along, with his knees knocking together
and his toes pointing in-whosc eyes roll
fu%rtively and whose hand is ever suddenly
jerking itself above his head as if warding
of a blow, you can rely upon it that that man
is haunted by a mother-in-law-but when you
see a party who lifts his feet high, and holds
his nose in the air, and has one eye shut in a

tended with a self, eomplacent grin, and who
