NEw ORLEANS. Nov. 6. "A speeial DE-
spateh from democratic source in Clinton.
East reiieina parish, says that owing tn
tue failure of the registrar to FIJI his ao-
pointments, large number of voters were
not registered. LAB registered votes vero
polied Of which Hayes got three. T,lden the
balance. At the poll conducted under the
United States supervisor 443 voters wao had
oeen unable to register deposited ballots in
separate box, all democratic. Tne repub-
iicans RETAINED from voting and there was
no intimidation. TIE above majority of
i,'4o shows democrat gain of 2 5sI over
Io'4. Prominent republicans say voting in
East Felicina was informal and votes were
not to be canvassed BY the returning board
the registrar sent there having been run off
and intimidated. Other democratic par-
ishes will be treated in the same way fer
similar reasons. In Ouachita parish the
democratic majority is LOST. democratic
gain of l.9l5 over 1874.

that they will claim every Southern State as

election Of tic Democratic candidate for
Governor. by, 10000 majority for about a

reached that Caldwell, the Republican can

| saw the murderer of jim Fisk on the
street, yesterday. The last time ] saw him
he was in the prisoners dock, strong.
dark-haired defiant young man, who looked
as though nothing earthly could break
him. But his years of Imprisonment have
changed him sadly. His hair Is gray, his
form has lost the elasticity that made him
an observed man on the streets. and he
looks twenty years older that he did five
years ago He has not had much work to
do, and had as good fare in his prisons as
though Delmonico had supplied his table.
But confinement, the worry and fret of
prison life has broken him, and it is doubt
ful if he ever regains his impaired manhood.
Still, he Is as gamey as man can be. lie
proposes 10 90 into business at once, and re-
build his shattered fortunes While in
Sing Sing he purchased the right to manu-
iacture an asphaltum pavement, which he
believes to be necessity in all large cities,
and he has already commenced to Introduce
it into New York. Possibly he NAV vet
ride the city as successfully as Tweed did.
1t cost him $500, 600 to escape the gallows.
which stripped him entirely. His career
makes very pretty moral lesson for Young
men. An illicit attachment for q depraved
woman cost him the murder of Il man and

and reputation that will bar |
