Mr.. Lamar, Governor Kellogg and the
Returning Beard.
Commenting upon Mr.. Lsmar's ill-man-
nere5 and unjustifable dispatch to General
Walthal, the. Chicago Tribune of November
Is ssys:
has gone to New Orleans, not in the interest
of peaee, hut in favor OF the policy of the
Chicago Times, namely, to 'clean ont" tAe
officials in authority. Mr.. Lsmsr's language
docs not become him. It was an unseemly
act for him to 90 to New Orleans at ell, but,
having gone itwas his duty shove ell things
to have assumed a.mOdest and humble tone,
to have co2ported himself with quietness,
and to have made as few suggestions as
the United Senate by . Legislature
elected by the most unbluAhing fraud
and the most outrageous terrorism upon
the Mississippi plan, the proofs Of
which were furnished in overwhelming pro-
f1sion and completeness before the Oxford
s-and jury. That dsnning evidence, a.
though it was suppressed, has never been
denied. He kolas his position by a virtual
hsSS and nd the aSsyg %iS1Ss5g es the
voters have been 1isf.anehised. He may
urge, like Mr.. WatteEson, that majority Of
these are plantstion hands and laborers,
hat they are none the less citizens, and just
as muoa citizens, aad Just as much entitled
to vote, ~ Mr.. Lamar or Mr.. Watterson. 1t
was bad enough to apply the Mississirpi
plan in that State for the benefit of Mr.
Lamar; to apply it now in Louisiana for the
henedt of Hr. Tilden is still worse. Mr..
Lamar's temper is unworthy of q man who
has had some reputation hitherto for frank
ness snd moderation.

King John Of Abyseinia.

King John of Abyssinia 10 described BY
NJ. de- Larsech, the French consul, - man
about thirty years old, of middle height,
slim, with black hair, energetic eyes, slight-
" curved nose, small mouth, and . face
deeply bronzed. He 10 extremely agile, OK
cells in all games, is brave to temerity, i'm
passive - Hindu, and the best rider in
the country. When the consul entered the
palace the King was squatted in Ethiopian
fashion on raised red and gold daie, as
cended by nine steps. He was robed in an
ample cloak of gold cloth, and wore ON his
head the triple crown of Ethiopia, resem-
bling the crown of Solomon. Around were
the feudatory princes, with costly white
and purple garments, each wearing . light
crown. On both sides of tho hall were
ranged the crown vaeeals, and on one of
the steps reclined Agos, one of the four
lions which, according to etiquette. precede
the King in battle. When the Khedive's
army invaded Abyesinis, and King John
was starting to meet them, an earthquake
occurred, scattering stones and dust over
the terrified cavalcsde. The King leaped
from his charger, kissed the ground, and
cried in ecstacy: "Thus wilt thou engulf
our enemiesw After two great battles, in
which the Egyptians were badly beaten, he
wrote to the Consul: "HOw are y0ul NV
self and soldiers are safe and sound. OF all
Egyptians who have invaded my country
not one survives. Ny heart rejoiced. Come
now without loss Of time"

SOME SUGGESTIONS TO SAMMY
A Louisiana Democratic Paper Dis.
cusses the Situation In Unmis.
taxable Language.


SHREVEPORT, La, November Is, 1876.
The following from the Mansfield, Do
Soto parish, Reporter, OF this date, will give
some idea of the feeling of tho Democracy
here:
'The pretense Of acting, usurping Cover
nor Kellogg to re-enact tho little game Of
1872 and 1874 is too plain fraud to need
comment. If his Returning Board throws
ont the parishes of Morehouse, Ouachits :,
East and West Feliciana and East Baton
Rouge, thereby electing Packard OF a. BY
800 or 900 majority, and tho Northern De-
mocracy are willing to eco us in Louisiana
again put on the rack, after all We have
done to elect Tilden. then may tho devil
fly away with them, body and soul, and may
An emperor and tyrant rule them forever
Any man that says anything to ~ aboat
Democracy or Northern sympathy from
that day on, We shall regard - either Q
knsve or fool, and shall fight him accord
ingly.
I'VE trusted this Northern Democracy
once In 1860, and they betrayed our trust
by killing more Of our fathers and brothers
and sons than any other party; and now If
they fool 10 again, and allow the heal Of
the usurper to be again put upon our nseks
in Louisiana, we hope God in His provi-
dence will everlastingly blot out the nsos,
the fame and the memory Of . party which
We have been allied to time out Of mind,
but which alliance has brought us nothing
but destitution and misery for the Last
twenty years.
It 10 their time to play now, and not
curs, and if our people allow themselves -
be betrayed into the trap again, - they
were upon tho memorable assault upon
Fort Sumter. they deserve NO sympathy
from the civilized world, and NO pity from
the human family.
Our Northern Democratic allies had -
we'll understand first, last and al the time,
that We can make nothing moro than an
| emeute in the South, which will fasten the
Republican party and Capitalization upon
the country. From thence to IN empire il
but step. We have NO money, NO credit,
NO meat and bread, and nothing upon which
to make war except plenty of ~ willing
souls as ever stood to the breech of
musket. They are most all Of the old blue
hens chickens; will be sure to fight ON one
side or the other If called on, and if it comes
to business, and the Northern people don't
know which party they will fight with,
they have not learned any wisdom from
history.
"Oor people want Mr.. Tilden to know, and
his Northern supporters to be perfectly
aware Of the fact, that if he is elected BY
the vote of South Carolina or Florida, or
both, and he allows % to be defr1hded out
of square deal in Louisiana, then he will
have more use Of bayonets than Grant hes
had, and have to flesh them many times
ottener in Louisiana."

tors from parties certified to be colored mea
on the plantation of Messrs. Foster Il Levy,
IN St. Mary. They assert the election was

the Democratic ticket. The letters have
too much intelligence in them to be the
composition of lsborers, and information
from that parish shows that the letters are
bogus, for none of the men can read or

President Wells then announced that NO
further business relative to tho returns
would be done, and the board would 60 into
executive session.
Mr. Anderson inquired if the board would
canvass the returns if the others did not ar-
rive.
President Wells said the board had but
short time to work in. It would be bet
ter, perhaps, to commence Monday, but it
would not be exactly proper.
Mr.. Anderson said the electors we're re.
quired to meet early in December. and he
favored an early count.
Mr.. Kenner suggested beginning with the
parish of Orleans.
1t was stated that as the canvass of 1874
had been by congressional districts, that
would be the best method.
Mr.. Zacharie said that, if in order, he
would like to ask if the board had come to
any conclusion relative to the appearaoe on
the part of Democratic candidates of coun.
sci to represent them.
stated that whenever points were in dis
pute counsel would be notified and heard,
if desired.
Mr.. Zschane said he had understood that
the returns would be opened that they
might have an opportunity to compare them
with the returns that they had.
President Wells said the board had
nothing to do with their returns. Counsel
might take minutes and compare them with
what they had If desired. Tho board
would endeavor to procure them suitable
rooms, convenient to that of the board, and
they would be immediately spprised of any
disputed point.
Mr.. Zacharie said he had understood they
were to be afforded an opportunity to learn
If there were any grounds of contest and
allowed to examine the returns then and
there.
Judge Epoford said he had understood
Governor Wells very well and reoollected
that he had said the returns were to be
opened before all and inspected.
President Wells said that was 60, that
they would be opened for the purpose of
seeing if they had been tampered with.
Judge Spofford said that was his under
standing.
Mr.. McGloin asked if that was to be in
the presence Of the representatives of the
different parties, and Mr.. Wells said yes.
Mr.. Zacharie said he desired to offer Q
protest, and make an argument, if the board
would hear it.
President Wells said the board had re-
solved to hear nothing relative to elections
that day, but it could be filed then, or on
Monday, when it would be considered.
Mr.. Zacharie said it was simply q plea to
the jurisdiction Of the board. He would
file it and ask to be heard in argument
on it.
President Wells answered that it was
utterly impossible to decide on question of
which the board knew nothing. or to hear
an argument on the election. After exam
nation, when it comes up, then he would
give the opiaion of the board-probably on
Notice would be given when and
where the board would meet then.
As the balance of the business was wholly
the room was cleared.
1t was determined that the Senate Cham
Der should be used, and that the session
