the Republican registered vote which would
undoubtedly have been cast but for intimida-

We have thus alluded to some of the causes
which led to the creation Of this Board, and
have also called attention to it's duties, and
the proof upon which it Is authorized to act
1t is tribunal established by the laws of
Louisiana entirely Independent of the laws Of
any other State or Of the United States. It is
empowered, among other things, to canvass
and finally determine the number of votes
legally cast for electors of President and Vice
President of the United States but in the die
charge Of that duty in acts exclusively under
authority OF the laws of that State. The con-
stitution of the United States having declared
that each State shall appoint in such manner as
the legislature thereof may direct, a number of
electors equal to the whole number of Sena-
tors and Representatives to which the State
may be entitled in the Congress, not only is
the action Of this Board independent of State
or national laws other than those of Louisiana,
but it's determination as to the votes cast and
candidates elected.
FINAL AND SUBSTANTIALLY CONCLUSIVE,
as appears from decision OF the Supreme
Court of that state, as reported in the twenty

where the Court, at page 268, says, mo

Editor Home Journal:
Your occasional correspondent, 3D.
from tho 18th District, was invited to
participate In an elegant aid sump,uous
dinner, given by bis children in honor
Of their father, uncle Ira KinningLam's
eightieth birth day, at the house of
Robert birmingham, on Saturday, the
Sd inst. The dinner was prepared AT
home, and brought to the place and
spread on a table reared for the occa-
sion uuder a bush harbor, The din.
ner, when spread, was inviting enough
for a king. To say that it was elegant
and sumptuous is not enough. sup
pose none who were present had any
scruplcs as 10 my opinion of the feast,
after participating. The guests con
sisted of the venerable patriarch and
his clever and intelligent companion,
his children, grand children, ard great
grand children, relations, and a few Of
the nearest and most intimate neigh
bors--in all about 75-49 children,
grand children and great grand chill
dren. 1t was a day of happy, joyous
pleasure, more especially to the chill
dren.
Now say, Slater, was I not for
tunatep l thought of you. Why
don't people always think to invite the
editor2 1t would be so nice to have
him present. so that he might give the
thing a puff, &c. l have determined.
should your humble contributor live to
celebrate his eightieth birth day, the
editor--yes. the veritable editor of the
Home Journal, IL still tabernacling in
the land of sorrow, shall be there.
How he does enjoy such things! He
seems to have been constructed in vie"
Of such things, i. C.. to enjoy good
things.
The only thing that was in tie least
calculated to mar the enjoyment OF the
occasion was the sad condition OF Mr..
Robert birmingham, at whose house
the banquet was spread. He has been
sorely afflicted, for a number Of years,
with chronic rheumatism, insOmuch
that he has not been able to walk nor
use hands nor feet for several years
not even able to feed himself; and,
worse than all, has been totally blind
for some time. Yet, he %converses
freely, and greatly enjoys the visits Of
his friends. Notwithstanding his suf-
ferings on this occasion, he seemed to
enter into It's spirit, and gave special
instructions as to the order Of the day,
&c, having in view the especial enjoy
ment Of the children.
The day was a marked epoch in the
history of this clever family, and will
be remembered long as one of the
green spots in memory's waste.

himself this week AS a candidate to
represent Franklin county in the next
General Assembly. And so, we now
have two candidates, either Of whom
would honor the Office. The people
will hear them, we suppose, from the
stump" and all we have to say now
is that both Mr.. Bessiey and DR..
Payne are competent to tell what they
know, and our people are competent
to decide between the two. One thing
is patent--that we should endeavor to
get n Representative Of honesty and
ability. The next Legislature will

The election OF two U. S. Senators
will be a trifle compared to other mat
tiers that will come before it.
