to the relief of good men of all parties A
man who was. beaten for the legislature
objects to the counting Of the returns from
Key West because the votes were not
counted in the same room or place where
they were cast. He makes no pretense of
fraud, but hopes by this technicality
(which the board did not deem of any con-
sequence) to save his election-by rejecting
votes honestly cast. He will hardly be
able to do this. If they were counted as
he says, it was probably because it was a
better or more convenient place, as there
is no pretense of anything wrong in the
count as made, and the county board did
not think the objection worthy of notice.

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common in
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grirdstone by wearing a
respirator, The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BTTTERs.

AN UNFORTUNATE YOUNG MAN.
He is Lost, and Perhaps Perishes From
Poverty and Hunger.

On the 9th of Oct there arrived in this
city from Pennsy lvania young man who
gave the name of Neal Cara. He com
menced boarding with Mr.. James Van
Buskirk, on the corner of Fourth avenue
and 18th street, and since then he has
generally been engaged in peddling notions
about the city. Not finding this a very
lucrative business he obtained a job at
pulling lumber from the river. Nhe water
was chilly and as he was obliged to get
wet when he pulled the lumber he caught
a severe cold. About week ago he be-
gan to complain that he was not feeling
well, but he declined to cali physician
as he had no money to pay the bill, and he
did not want to receive aid from the
county. He soon became too weak to
work and since last Friday has barely
tasted food Since that time he has shown
signs of having a wandering mind. Yester-
day afternoon Mrs. Van Buskirk informed
Sup'r Aster Of the young mans condition.
but before the~supervisor arrived Cara
said something about going out for a
minute-and left the house, bareheaded,
Very soon some children informed Mrs,
Van B. that Cara was staggering like a
drunken man up 18th street toward the
bluffs. Mrs, Van B. then informed the
police and men we're sent in search of him.
This was about 6 O'Clock, but notwithstand-
| ing nen were searching through the
woods all night nothing could be found of
| him.
This forenoon Marshal HAYES sent
Policeman Feeley and about 20 boys in
search OF the missing man.
Cara is an lrishman and has only been
in this country short time. He was
formerly a school teacher in Ireland.
| LATER. Up to o'clock this afternoon
Cara had not been overtaken, though two
men, boarders at Mr.. Van Buskirk' s, and
boy, are still following him up. He was
last seen this morning on the Rock river
bottoms, going up the river. Where he
remained last night is not known.

xSepupncan Fapers AccV1nB xoonsnAy.
The most ludicrous and nonsensical
exhibition We have seen is the growing and
the display head lines in the Gazette and
the Union, this morning, without one
word of reliable news on which to base
them. No claim can be set up for Hayes
without the vote of the three carpet-bag
states, Louisiana, South Carolina and
Florida, an6 neither of them has yet been
officially canvassed nor has any other in TIE
union, Neither the Gazette or the Union
has any news bearing on the result that
was not published in THE ARGUS last
evening. What they appear to rely on
is the Chicago Tribune dispatch, which
we published last evening, and which
closes as follows:
Parishes to be heard from include
Grant, ST. Landry, Bienville. Sabine,
Washington and Union, and FIVE bull
logged parishes of East and West Fe,
liciana, Ouachita and East Baton Rouge.
These parishes in 1874 gave in the aggre-
gate 465 Rep. maj. The Republican ma.
jio1teS IN the buu-dogged parishes haze
been reversed, and the Democratic ma
joTties en- some of the .other parishes are
said to be increased.
In what the Republicans call the 8
bull dog parishes they once had a ma
jority, but the Tribune dispatch says their
majorities there "have been reversed" 1
the majorities there are now Democratic
but no figures are given. And the
dispatch also says the Democratic ma
jorites in some of the other parishes are
said to be increased" If Republicans
eau extract any consolation from this they
are easily satisfied.
The best information we have is to the
effect that the IN ajority Of the people il
Louisiana have voted the Democratic
ticket-probably 1000 or 5000 majority
but we cannot know until the votes arr
officially canvassed. as Grant says, as ''act
ually cast"
When the official vote in the three car
pet bag states shall haye been declared
for Hayes the Republicans may have rea
son to rejoice, provided Grants order t,
count and declare the cote as act,eali,
cast is carried out. If not the end will
not have been reached then.

The gentlemen named are not in the
habit of cheating by trick" or in any
other manner. Their reputation is too
high to be slandered by THE ARGUS
Union.
No reputation is to high for examina-
ton. A good many people who were once
thought above suspicion are not thought
so now. Many notable instances can be
cited, 1t remains to be seen whether the
city is to be cheated by a trick or not
If Judge Spencer, by simply writing on a
plat, this street is IS feet wide, " can get a
title to feet of ground which he did not
own and which he had decided to the city and
solemnly covenanted that he would forever
warrant and defend the city's title thereto,
then he will recover it by a trick-for nc
one connected with the city government at
the time had the remotest idea that they
were parting with the title to the land the
city then owned. This is not a question Of
reputation it is a question of law
and right. The Union need not fall back
on reputation, for that won't count.
Judge Spencer's reputation don't decide
the question. The deed he made to the
city is what we rely on, not his ''reputa
ton" But if he persists in an attempt t
cheat the city out of the ground he MAJ
rest assured that his reputation will suffer
as also will the reputation of those VIII
