TIIE LOUISIANA ELECTlON.
Digest OF The Laws Regarding II
How the Votes are Received
and Counted.

Digest OF the Laws Regarding 1t
How the Votes arc Received
and Counted.
In view Of The great interest which
now centres in the result OF the election
in Louisiana, the New York Post has had
prepared from the laws Of that State the
following account OF the manner in which
elections, are there conducted, how the
ballots arc counted and the returns made.
This account has been made up from the
Louisiana State election law Of 1872 as
amended by the acts Of 1878 and 1875.
The Legislature last January made no
change in the law.
It's well to explain that Louisiana is
divided into ifIy.seven parishes, which
correspond 10 the counties OF other
States. There are in the State seven In
corporatcd cities and twenty.onc unin-
corporated towns OF more than five hun
dred inhabitants.
REGISTRATION AND POLL SUPERVISORS.
Asupervisor Of Registration for each
parish, except the parish Of Orleans.
directs what number Of polls shall be
established in each precinct, fixes the
place for holding the election and APP
points Commissioners OF Election for
each poll or voting place. In the parish
Of Orleans each ward in the city Of New
Orleans constitutes an election precinct.
1t Is the duty Of the Supervisors Of
Registration in every parish to appoint
one or more suitable persons TO attend at
each poll OF voting place or precinct,
These persons have The power Of constab.
les during the time OF election, and oil
the counting Of tho ballots cast. 1t is
their duty 10 convey the box to receive
the votes TO the place Of holding the elec.
ton, and to obey all legal -orders Of the
commissioners in keeping order at or
near the polls, SupprCssiug riots or dis.
orders Of any kind, and to make all ar
rests which may DO lawfully ordered by
the commissioners.
The election at each poll or voting
place Is presided over by three Commis.
sioners Of Election, residents OF the par
ish for at least twelve months next pre-
cedirg the day OF election, who must be
selected from different political parties
and be Of good standing in the party to
which they belong, and who must, before
entering upon the discharge Of their du-
ties, take the oath prescribed by the State
oEtcatA

10 DO made in the full and convenient
view Of the voter himself.
The ballot must DO taken from the
hands Of the voter by one OF the Commits
sioners. A Commissioner receiving u

than the voter is guilty OF lnisdemean-
or, and liable TO a penalty Of not less
than one hundred dOllars; but any voter
has the right to deposit his own vote in
the ballot box with his own hand.
Any person seen TO take from the hands

The Commissioners must keep list Of
all persons who have voted. "rhe votes
shall Ee counted by the Commissioners at
each voting place Immediately after
closlug the election, and without moving
the boxes from the place where the votes
were received; and the counting must be
done 10 the presence Of any bystander or
citizen who may be present. Tally lists
shall DO kept Of tho count, and alter the
count the ballots counted shall be put
back Into the box, and preserved until

Eyes The Jail"

One of the most astounding improvements
made in Ottawa this season is the enlarging OF
the Jail aud the Identifying of the grounds by
the erection OF several feet of new fencing! The
interior improvements are immense. The jail.
or's quarters have been reduced to akitchen and
one room and little pantry on the east side OF
the hall. The jailor and family now hang
themselves up on peg for sleeping quarters, we
reckon.l The rooms on the west have been con-
yerted into prisons--one for females and the 9th
er for debtors and lesser criminals and boys
Both rooms are gorgeously furnished with jail
blankets and water.
The outside additions have been not less strik
ing-especially for their usefulness in keeping
out the sunshine and the dir. We hope the seven
males and the two femalss now confined within
will appreciate the kindly efforts that have been
made for their comfort. By the way, wonder
how that Mandamus business will end.

4pecta! 0gp0tch TO The Tribune
GENEVA LAKE, Wis, Aug. 26.-The annual
regatta OF the Geneva Lake Yacht Club took
place to-day, and was witnessed by the largest
number Of visitors who have come here this
season to attend a race. More than ordinary
interest was attached to the contest, since al
the yachts had been prepared especially for it.
During the past week they were hauled up on
tho beach, their bottoms scraped. and creased,
the rigging made taut, and the Eettie and
Mischief put on a new set OF sails.
The latter is heavy-weather boat,
and can sail like clipper when
there is gale. She has been peculiarly unfor-
tunate this season, however, coming home last
in every race. Having been thoroughly over
hauled, great things were expected Of her to-
day, but, though she did we'll at the outset, .ha
wind died away, and she was left in the lurch.
THE PRIZE At STAKE
was the one inaugurated by Gen. Philip Sheri-
dan three years ago,-a beautiful miniature
yacht OF solid silver-hul sails, rigging, centre
hoard,-all complete and in excellent proper
tion- It cost about $500 The Ncttie, owned
by Julian 8. Rumsey, won It In 1874, and again
in 1879, and tried for It again to-day.
The entries were limited to sloop-rigged,
round-bottomed boats, owned IN Geneya,-
"sharpees," etc, being barred; and the condi-
tlon5 as to bringing back the same ballast and
crew taken out, and time allowances, such ~
govern in races Of similar character. Tho
yachts entered were the Mischief, by Col n Z.
Fairbank; length, 25 feet; sailed by Capt. Coul-
SOD. Geneva, by Gen. A. c. Ducat, - feet 8
inches; allowance, Is seconds; sailed by Capt.
Dunlap. Flcetwfng, BY Gen Strong, 81 feet 9
inches; allowance, 4 min. So Sec; sailed by
Capt. Woods Nettfe, by Hon. Julian 8. Rum
sey, 21 feet 6 inches; allowance, min. Is sec.
sailed BY MIR. Rumsey. Dauntless, by Capt. D.
T. Whiting, IS feet inches; allowance, 9 min.
% sec-; sailed by Capt. Whiting.
From tho indications Friday night, still
breeze was expected this morning, aud accord
ing1y all the boats, particularly the Mischief,
we're ballasted for blow. The anticipations In
this respect were, however, only partially real
lied. The wind blew strong enough at the start,
but lullcd toward noon, and during the run the
yachts encountered battling breezes at several
points which impeded their progress and length
encd their time.
THE JUDGES BOAT.
The Gertie, steam yacht, belonging to Col.
George L. Dunlap, WAS, as usual, the judges
boat, the gentlemen who filed the positions be-
ing Admiral Volney Turner, Commodore James
Ode1l, aud Col. Fa1rar. Among the guests On
board were Licut.-Gen. Sheridan, who had come
from Chicago to present the prize to the win
ner; Col. Charles L. Wilson, Of the Journal;
Capt. William Smith, and Il. II. Wi}marth.
The steamer Arrow, belonging to Mr.. George
Sturges, had On board the lady guests, and the
Cisco, owned by Col. N. T. Fairbank, party Of
his friends, ladies and gentlemen, while the
Lady Of the Lake, an excursion steamer, car
