Opposition to One of the Proposed Amend-
! ments.
The proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton abolishing parish judges, and parceling
out their duties in such a manner as to
clothe justices of she peace with jurisdic-
ton of important cases, meets with consid-
erable opposition from the Republicans in
the country. As it is . question affecting
only the parishes outside of Orleans. their
wishes are entitled to weight. The follow
ing on the subject has been sent us from

HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN, PARTY,
Tensas Parish, Louis lana. :
St. Joseph, La. September 49, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
At o mass meeting OF the Republican
party held in St. Joseph, September II,
the following resolutions were offered and
adopted:
WHEREAS. The Senate and House of Re-
presentatives of Louisiana IN General
Assembly convened, by act No. &c, two
thirds of the members of each house agree
ing thereto, did propose and submit to the
voters of Louisiana, to be voted for and
against, an amendment to the constitution
of the State abOlishing parish courts
throughout the State, and giving jurisdic-
tion to the justices Of the peace in the
several wards to try and sentence to hard
labor in the State Penitentiary for term
not to exceed two years; and
Whereas, Under the present law any
ordinary voter can be elected to the judge
ship of these justices courts, thereby be
clothed with the high judicial authority Of
trying and sentencing to confinement, with
IN the walls of the State penitentlary, his
fellow men, without having any kn0wl-
edge of that high principle of right and
wrong which is 80 clearly set forth in the
jurisprudence of our State; and
Whereas, We believe it not to be meas
use of reform, but one which will increase
the expenses in the prosecution OF crime;
therefore be it
Resolved by the Republicans, in a mass
meeting assembled, September II, 1876,
That We pledge ourselves to each other to
use all our influence with the voters from
now until the day of election to have them
cast their votes against the said proposed
amendment.
We further pledge ourselves that we and
each of us will, on election day, cast our
vote against said amendment, and do all in
our power to have said amendment to the
constitution rejected by . majority of the
voters of this parish; be it
Resolved, That copy of these resolu
tions be sent to the State Central Execu
tive Committee, and to the New Orleans
REPUBLICAN for publication.

NEW ORLEANS, September q, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
I clip the following from the editorial COL
umns of the New Orleans Times of this
morning:
1t is becoming q standing conundrum.
where did Colonel Bob Ingersoll serve!
From his peculiarly savage orations it 10
very probable that during the war he was
a brevet citizen, and quietly pursued the
arts of peace.
While 1 am politically oppc sed to Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll, can not suffer such
statement to pass uncon:radicted. A truer
hearted, braver and more patriotic citizen
does not live than Colonel X. G. Ingersoll'
He enlisted at the beginning Of the war,
was appointed colonel of the Eleventh
Illinois Cavalry and was on active duty
during the war, with the exception Of about
four months he spent in the military prison
| at Andereonville. He needs NO defense .

little wholesome vigor applied to thorough
revision of the registration lists, in matters
of this nature, the theory that nomination
by the Democratic Parish Convention is
equivalent to an election would not be so
generally accepted as fact, as it now ap-
pears to be.

The Arrest OF WIN. q Tweed.
WHAT Is KNOWN ABOUT 1T IN WASHING

When the first muddled cable dispatches
announcing the arrest OF the Tammany 10
gitive, Tweed and his Imprisonment 10 q
Spanish fortress, were received here many
persons believed there was some mistake
made, or that the story was q hoax. The
later dispatches TO the effect that the verita-
BILE "Boss" Tweed, travelling under the name
OF Secor, had been apprehended, and that the
American consul at Madrid had, In the alb
sence Of Mr.. Gushing, the minister, oem and
ed In the name OF this great government his
extradition, put the matter IN a shape where
the inquiry rs TO its truth could be pursued
here. IL the American consul made any scch
demand he OF course communicated with the
State department, and there our reporter
was sent for Information. In the absence of
Secretary Fish and Gen. Cadwallader. the
dignity and responsibility OF affairs rest on
the shoulders OF Mr.. Hunter. 81 have moth ug
to communicate" was the whole extent OF
bis answer 70 our representative I'm search OF
information-Only tnis and nothing more. II
was evident that our system of pumping
would not draw anything from this source,
the following particulars were obtained.
Nearly three months ago, Tweed was In
Cuba at Santiago. he was recognized by
the authorities there, and fully identified as
sent TO Secretary Fish from the captain gen
eral OF Cuba advising him OF the fact, and In
addition voluntarily offering 10 give the
fugitive up upon the demand OF the United
States. While preparations were being made
to effect the arrest, Tweed left Santiago de
Cuba on the Spanish bark Carmen. The
Spanish government, from the fact that be
had sailed on vessel with Spanish regis.
ter, wisely concluded that the Carmau
would put in at some Spanish port and ac-
cordingly gave orders for close watch TO be
kept upon all inward bound vessels The
result Of this precaul lion was that Tweed
was apprehended at San Simon quarantine,
the governor OF the province OF Portevsjra
making the arrest In person. Our govern
ment was duly advised of the fact, and H.
ceived additional Assurances that notwith
standing the non-eXistence of any treaty
covering his extraditioo, he would be q sliv-
cred up. Last night Acting Secretary Hun
ter made the formal demand for mis- extradi-
ton, and he 10 advised Tweed will be brought
to this country via Havana as expe1itiously
as possible.
