POLITICAL NOTES.


hundred Republican majority was wiped
out by the Regulators, and the Republican
organization utterly destroyed, not vote
being cast for Hayes. The legal canvass
of the election showed these facts conclu-
sively, and declared the pretended election
. nullity. Tho Democrats maintain their
disregard of the law a. embodied in their
decision, just - they overturned the law
in the attempt to seize the Offices. The
Patriot Democrat (so-ealled), of Clinton,
in italics and ANAL caps, enumerstes the
list of Democratic candidates, with the
declaration that sc Z
These persons and those ALONE the peo.

Until this moment, when hundreds OF
honest and faithful laborers are cast ont Of
employment because they dared to vote
the Republican ticket, the D Democratic cleo
ton scheme has been one of force and in
timidation. All the Democratic investiga
tions that desperate psrtisans can put ny
will not wipe ont the ,damning facts. The
nation can NO longer be blinded by Demo
cratic ISLANDERS and Misrepresentation.
Colonel Brooke had best be careful when
he retarns to his command 1t Baton Rouge
The editor of the Advocate is after him with
q very sharp stick, because he dared to tell
the truth sbout tho cruel and lswless dee d.

The colonel may not be aware that the I'D
voeate man was once . soldier, too, and
served the Confederacy in the gallant
Pumpkin Studs" corps of much renown
in the ancient capital. We therefore throw

A leading counselor Of General Nieholll
declares that peace programme has been
fully determined upon by the Democratic
chiefs. A demand will be made for the

concluded: "If We only had control Of tht
Supreme Court, a. Hampton has in Soutf
Carolina, We could easily win the fight; but
- matters stand, our sole hope is in th'
Northern Democrats fighting Tilden's bat
tie successfully" Which is very slender
thread to hang such tremendous hope
upon.
General disgust is manifested at the bst
character Of the witnesses brought before
the congressional committee to prove
good character for the Louisiana Democ-
racy. The Democratic committee has mis-
managed 80 as to manifestly dampen thu
enthusiasm of even their most enthusiast
| followers.
