Desire Enault is a French carver and
glider who has a plot Of land near the
forest Of Bondy, which is coveted by the
Orleans Princes, just as the vineyard Of
Naboth was coveted by Ahab, and the
Petite Afiehes announces that the mer-
bers Of the younger branch are prose-
cutting the tenant for 800 francs, with
the view OF ejecting him. The carver
and glider has ranged against him the
Due de Montpensisr, the Comte de Paris,
the Due de Charities, the Due de Ne
mours, the Prince de Joipville, the Due
d'Aumale, the King OF the Belgians, the
Comte de Flandre, the ex.Empress Of
Mexico, the Duchess de SAKE, and the

RADICAL DESPERATION AND VII
LAINY.

There is no crime too great, no
trick too mean and despicable for
the Radical party in this canvass.
As the election approaches and the
prospect of defeat stares them in
the face they become daily more
desperate and reckless. AS to tell
ing the truth or abiding by it when
told by Others, that never was on
their programme. The purposes
and professions and spirit Of the
Democratic party, and the South in
particular, have been grossly mis-
represented from the first. Never
before in the history of politics has
any party or faction attempted to
carry an election entirely by false
hood and appeals to the basest pas
sions. Men and papers hitherto
considered reputable have lent
themselves to the miserable work of
detraction, abuse and falsehood.
The South is represented as an
armed camp, ready for another re-
belliOn to destroy the government.
The papers that publish this and
the leaders that assert it on
the stump know they are lying
by the wholesale, and glory in it.
The masses have been almos.
