the different cigar factories. 1t purperted
to be q Cuban protest, giving reasons "why
the Cubans should not vote for the Radical

work Of bungling Democrat, states that
'justice and principles have been trampled
upon by the Radicals" it also says. speak
ing of the United States In the name of the
Cubans, "This government has violated tho
very principles Of freedom and the
Monroe doctrine" Knowing, as we do, the
high character and patriotic purposes of
the Cubans residing here, denial of tho
authenticity of this circular Is hardly
necessary, but we make tho exposure at the
request of an officer and several members
Of the Obreros Society, who are indignant
that such an unauthorized address Of which
nothing was known by the societies. should
have been issued by designing Democrats,
in violation of the spirit Of the Obreros and
Artessno Societies, and to the scandal Of
the patriotic Cubans, who, of those entitled
to vote, will vote the Republican ticket

FROM THE METROPOLIS
THE REACTION AGAINST TllDENlSM
Hayes Election Beyond Question

The following dispatch was received by
Governor Kellogg yesterday:
NEW YORK, November 5, 10 P. NJ.
To Governor william p. Kellogg.
InfOl nation from the most trustworthy
sources, including our own specials and
diepatches to the Republican National Com
mittee as late as eight o'clock this evening,
indicate that all doubt about the election of
Hayes and Wheeler has been RI M )ved by
the extraordinary mantle stations of the
public sentiment during the last ten days.
Especially IN this city has a great
change take n place, evnced by votes in pub
where ten days ago there was ma ,rity for
Tlden, while on Friday the vote stood 1893
for Hayes to 204 for Tliden. Many similar
changes are noted, caused BY tho general
uprisi0g of bankers, merchants, nanufac-
urers and other business men produced in
q great measure by the general conviction
that the election of Tilden means the impo-
sition upon the country of great burden
of debt and taxation to pay war claims.
The fact that Mr.. Tilden's frantic call
upon the Southern Democrats to save
his election by agreeing not to press
the war claims, has been responded to
BY only five out of fourteen States appealed
to and not by Missouri, which has already
issued over two millions of claim green
backs, purportlng to be valid claims against
the United States, has added to the growing
distrust. A most unfavorable impression
has also been produced by the Democratic
National Committee of an address warning
tbe country against an expected statement,
which the committee say is already
printed, of William M. Tweed, impli.
eating Mr.. Tlden in his plundering of
New York city IS result OF these late and
universal prevalent manifestations of the
tendency Of the people. No confidence of
Democratic victory 10 shown by any one
except Mr.. Tlden himself and the gamblers
in the pool rooms. who have been employed
to make fictitious bots to be telegraphed
tor effect in the country. As sum.
mary Of the present indications, it may
be stated that the projected Demo
cratic frauds in this city will be prevented
and the majority kept down to 49,,
600 or 40 600, which will be more than nver.
come by the interior vote. That with New
York State Hayes and Wheeler are sure of
1875 votes, or ten more than enough without
counting nine other States, in each of which
an active contest is going on with the belief

Louisiana 8, Connecticut 6, Oregon 3,

PEACE TO BE MAINTAINED
WARNING TO THE ILL-DISPOSED
APPEAL FROM MARSHAL PITKIN

United States Marshal Pitkin last night
issued the following circular:
OynOs UsIrED STATES MARsHAL,l
D.tricf If Louisiana. }
New O1leans November 6. 1876
WAEREAs, A mischievous attempt has
this day been made by the accredited organ
of political committee, to wit, the New
Orleans Democrat, to infiame the passions Of
the more aggressive elements in this city BY
charging this Office With having ap-
pointed deputies who shall "insult
the peoples" with having instructed them
to be particular in making arreste,
not to touch any Republican, but to
arrest all Democratic voters who should
be pointed ont to them. upon the slightest
provocation or pretext. and to drag them
TO prison by the heels if necessary" with
having furthermore directed them "that
they must be we'll armed, )" and with having
at its disposition ''fve companies OF negro
militia, who have be on furnished by Kellogg
with Springfield rifles and twenty rounds
OF ammunition each, and as a reserve to
that body, they will have numerous negro
clubs Of the city conveniently located and
armed with shotguns, rifles, etc., in order
to intimidate the white voters" now,
therefore, in behalf of the peace of the
United States, with the preservation of
which within this district l am charged, l
have hereby to declare that these charges
are in all respects false and without
foundation. Those appointed deputy
marshals have been specifically in
strroted not in any wise to endanger, bat
to conserve the peace, and in all things to
conduct themselves in strict accordance
with the recent instructions of the Attorney
General of the Uuited States, "intended,"
a. that officer remarks, "only to counteract
that partial malice or wrong-headedness or
reconsideration which sometimes triumphs
at critical mo ments over the conserva-
tive and in general prevailing forces of So
ciety." The peace Of the United States
sciN be preserved. It is to be hoped and be-
lieved that no effort will be made by any
considerable mum Der of incautious citizens
to provoke strife, and that good citizens
will be prompt to discourage the attempt.
The duty and ability Of the pacific people
of New Orleans to arrest disorder should
render unnecessary recourse to more per
emptory means in their behalf.

United States Marshal.

Fitkln and Patton.

The concluding letter of Marshal Pltkia
to Chairman Patton, which appeared only
in the REPUBLICAN, Sunday morning, was
received at 80 late an hour that several I'm.
corrected errors appeared in It's publication.
II Is therefore reproduced In this issue, and
aleo q final letter from the Democratic COM
mittee, which letter denotes an amusing
chsgrin at the sorry success of Chairman
Patton, not only In his effort to secure
White League deputy marshals, but also In
his attempt to cross pens with Mr.. Pitkin.
The correspondence was general topie
of conversation upon the streets. and many
Democrats were frank to admit that
Chairman Patton had put his foot In
1t. As he trespassed upon the marshsrs
time; now closely employed In the public
interest, by beginning the correspondence,
he has evidently discovered his mistake.
but be should have been too wary to con-
fess, by his final letter, that he had received
several Rolsnds for his one Oliver. As the
mazshal is not ambitious of tho notice of
Mr.. Pstton's committee, nor of Q partisan
argument with 1t, and courted NO corre-
spondence with it, it is general opinion
that the irascible chairman will be slow 70
get himself into suoh q scrape again. The
marshal's letter was obviously bomb In
tho Democratic committee room, and the
members sat uncomfortably In their chairs
till it had been removed. The marshal
kept cool, and kept the vantage ground oil
through.

IN ASCENSION.
the MEETING At DoNAlesoHvlllE
GENEROUS RECEPTION OF MR. PACKARD
HIS POWERFUL SPEECHES

STEAMER NEW ERA, Move Der s, 1876
Mr.. Packard and friends were greet d at
Donsldsonville by q great host of gentle
men, headed by Senator Landry, Judge
Marks, Meyers, Cheevers and other emi-
nent Republicans. Three thousand people
assembled near the market house. The
speakers were Colonel Lewis, Hon. s. b.
Packard, Governor Kellogg and General
Wharton.
Mr.. Packard delivered the most power
fol speech OF the canvass. Its effect was
tremendous. Cheer upon cheer punctua-
ted every sentence rs it fell from his lips,
carrying confidence and joy to his friends
and dismsy to the Democrats.
Here as everywhere else large numbers
of Conservatives listened to hun eagerly
aud with delight. Especially when he ap'
pealed to them in ringing tones and with
that frank, manly and fair manner for
which he has been distinguished in his
campaign, to come out from the camp of
their lifelong enemy aad deadly foe-ths
Demooracy-and take the leadership Of the
only party which truly ana faithfully re-
hscted their interests aud their principles.
He told them that the Northern Democracy
had no use for them, and they had NO use
for the Democracy. The sscendenoy of
Democracy meant to them and to
ell Conservative, ostracism, neglect, pro
seription and material injury. It meant
the revival of that social, moral and po-
litical despotism, which before the war had
bulldcsed them against their convictions,
their interests and their will into accession,
war and ruin. They had been dragged at
tho tail of tho triumphant chariot of the
relentless, cruel prescription and violent
Democracy before the war. They would
be dragged in the Same ignominious bonds
and serfdom again if Tilden and Nichols
were elected. ADemocratic administration
with solid white South, meant despot-
ism, tyranny. prescription, violence, no
emigration, no railroads, no aid to leveee,
no tariff, commotion, disoord and general
distress and poverty.
The triumph of tbs Republican party
meant peace, social order, improvement,
reconciliation of the sections, restoration
of law, order and confidence, levees, rail
roade, rivers and bayou improvements and
aid to the com mercs of the Mississippi. 1t
elected Governor. - he would be, he would
be the Governor Of no party, but OF the
people and of the whole State.
At the close of his speech hundreds
GRO owded around him to shake him BY the
hand.
Ex-Governor Hebert was on the stand,
and was the recipient of great attention.
After the meeting MI. Packard drove
rapidly down the bayou seven miles, where
another tremendous meeting, larger than
the first, awaited him. Here he again re-
ceived . perfect ovation, and made another
powerful speech.
Ascension will give 1900 Republican ma
jority.
Assumption, tho home Of Nichols, will
give 300 Republican majority.
Nichols will not receive twenty coIored
votes in his parish. SOA'

Comparative Assessments.

A correspondent of the Times has made

A correspondent of the Times has made
the following suggestion:
Should any voter be illegally deprived Of
bis vote, would 1t not be we'll for him to 60
at once to the nearest notary public and
make affidavit of the fact, including therein
his choice of candidates., stating that Same
had been offered and refused.
A notary could be In attendance in the
neighborhood Of each poll, and with the
proper blanks could promptly attend to al
cases. The facts would he susceptible OF
proof In addition to the affidavit. The afs-
ceived by the State Central COMMITTEES
after election day; but all those received
should be counted and returned by pub
fishing through the daily press.
It Is possible the striking off of the names
of those reported as mot found" from tho
registration lists may in few cases work
injustice to honest voters Of either politioal
body, while at the same time it il the death
blow to the system Of repeating which was
being skillfully reorganized by the Demo
cratic managers on the basis of their
enormous fraudulent city vote of 1874.
There is no disposition on the part of any
election officer to deprive any Democratic
citisen entitled to vote of his right SO to do.
Probably errors may be committed. and il
is proper that the suggestions of the Times
as above be carried out. It has been
done with the best of results on former like
occasions, and will be 10 the benefit
Of both political parties In this. The rule
must be applied, however, to the country
parishes as well - to the city Of New Or.
leans. The disfranchised colored voters Of
Ouachits, Morehouse. Baton Rouge and the
Feltcianas must have the same facilities Of.
forded them. and the Returning Board win
certainly give them all due weight.
