The majestic and remarkable countenance Of
Henri Of Navarro Ia face once seen not readily
forgottenj had been instantly recognized by the
majority Of the assemblage; and such OF the
crowd as were unacquanted with his features
speedily gathered his title from the general
vocferatiOns. Coupled with various and most
discordant epithetS, his name now resounded
from every quarter Some applauded his bra
very and bonhOmmie: some derded his mpru-
dence and temerity; others rallied bitterly and
loudly against his heresies and apostasy from
the religion Of Rome Whose tenets Henri. not
over scrupulous on matters OF faith embraced or
renounced, as circumstances required; others,
on the contrary. silently and deyontiy hailed
him a the champion OF their creed. A few there
were who fancied they discovered in his sudden
appearance in the m DIST OF his foes. signal Tor
the sanguinary day of Saint Barthelemy. and
held themselves in readiness to obey HIS man

DEMOCRATIC EQUITY A SPECIMEN
BRICR

If cumulative evidence be necessary to
convince the loyal and honest people of
the country of the foul deeds to which the
rebel Democracy are accustomed to resort
in their efforts TO obtain power, the L egis-
Iature OF the once proud Commonwealth of
kirg MIA daily furnishes sufficient to satisfy
the most skeptical, who love republican
institutions, that they have but to permit
the Democracy to obtain the asccndancy,
TO obliterate every vestigc Of freedom in
the expression of opinion at the ballotbox,
save when it comports with the ideas of
modern Locofoism.
The latest evidence of the case with
which this body of Locofoco legislators in
Virginia outrage the clearly expressed will
of the people in .condoning fraudulent
elections, was most signally illustrated in
the action of the Senate Of that State on
Thursday in rejecting the claim of Col.
w. G. Knight to seat in that body, to
which the evidence so clearly shows he
was entitled, and for which even fourteen
Democrats were honest enough to vote,
thus permitting that prince of carpet
baggers," " General Bradley T. Johnson,
to misTepresent for four years the people
of Richmond, for no other reason than that
lie was the candidate of the Locofoco party.
Colonel Knight, in his notice of contest
served on Mr.. Johnson referring to the
frauds at the first precinct of jefferson
ward, Richmond, says: II shall show that
"the judges at said precinct. falsely, fraud
"ulently, corruptly and contrary to law
"and duty, certified that out Of 402 ballots
deposited at that precinct you Johnson)
chad received S91 Totes and Knight
