THE BIG BoNANZA.-The cele-
brated Comstock lode, by which
Sharon, Jones and O'Brien have reaped
such colossal fortunes was a " find, y
a mere lucky chance" which had
been worked and abandoned by men
not 70 fortunate or persevering as
these famous owners of the Big Bo
nanza.
1t ia related of this celebrated lode
that at least dozen men worked at
it in succession and abandoned it in
turn until Comstock's good fortune
led him to the rugged canyon which
was to be the scene of such stroke of
fortune, as has hardly been equaled
10 this century.
The lode was struck, and q COM
pany was formed, and shares offered
for sale but timid people hesitated to
buy until Sharon, Jones and O'Brien
on chance invested their money. 1t
was big risk, but they won, and to
day there are no richer men in the
country.
The Louisiana State Lottery Com
papy offers similar big bonanza in
its frat grand extra drawing on the
4th of December, and they who fail to
seize the opportunity offered may
long have occasion to regret it. Whole
tickets $50, fractions in proportion.
Over quarter of million in currency
will be distributed in 1865 prizes
capital prize $50, 1000. No better OPP
portunity was ever offered for small
investment. Send for circulars and

pany, box 692, New Orleans, La.

Darrall's majority, 1879.

ih'JOAAeJ5 ~
DIR. Darrall's majorities in three or
four of the parishes are estimated,
being placed at about the figures gwen
for Mr.. Packard. According to our
table, the net majority for Darrail Is
1899 votes, but. this will doubtless be
increased by the official returns, as
the Doctor runs ahead of the State
ticket in most of the parishes of the
District.
The New Orleans Times aud Demo-
crat both eudeavored to figure ap "a
close contest between Messrs. Oar
rail- and Acklen, and to encompass
this end they gave the entire vote re-
ceiyed by Mr.. Acklen in Calcasieu and
Cameron as his majorities, added sew
eral to his vote in Vermilion, deprived
DR.. Darrall of l66 votes in Lafourche,
II in Ascension and couple of dozen
in Assumption, and finally assumed
that his majority in Iberville would
not exceed 400 or 500. According TO
the Times, Mr.. Acklen il 81 votes
ahead of his competitor in eleven par
ishes, excluding Iberrille the Demo
crat with greater modesty, counts
him but two ahead In point OF fact,
in the eleven parishes referred to DR..
| Darrall's majority is above 400. Mr..
Ack len is credited with running some
1900 ahead of his ticket, but none oil
the figures received to this time jus
tify any such conclusion. In two OF
the six parishes whose total vote Is
above given, Mr.. Acklen runs slightly
ahead of Gen. Nicholls-in Calcasleu
% votes, in Vermilion 40. In nearly
all the other parishes We believe II
will be fouai. that DIR. Darrall's vote
exceeds that OF Mr.. Packard, while
Mr.. Acklen falls behind Gen. Nichols
There is no reason to assume, as the
Times and Democrat have dune, tllai
the difference among lberyille Re,
publicans upon the Senatorial ques
ton affected Dir. Darrall's Vote. Ht
was not involved in the quarrel, 81
far as we can learn, and both fac
tions undoubtedly gave him the same
earnest support which they did th'
State ticket.
DIR. Darrall is re-elected to Congress
| by majority closely Approximately!
1000, and upon this circumstances tin
Republicans and the whole peopl
of the Third District are to be con
graduated.

THE STATE ELECTToN-The result
of the Louisiana election is still in
doubt, and will he until the Return
ing Board has passed upon the returns
and decided whether there has been
such fraud. or intimidation practicised
in any of the parishes as to vitiate
the election held therein. The mem
bers of the board-M essrs. Anderson,
Wells, Casanave and Kenner-met at
the capital on Thursday and organized
by electing Hon. Madison Wells pres
ident and Chas. Abel, Esq, secretary.
The sessions will be secret, excepting
iu cases where returns are disputed,
when witnesses will be summoned aud
counsel admitted to present and argue
the opposing sides ofeach controversy :.
Official returns have been received
from only thirty six parishes as yet,
bnt the remainder will probably be
all in within week.
The Democrats stoutly maintain
the election of their State ticket. At
the beginning of the week a majority
exceeding 5000 was claimed for Mich
oils, but the official returns coming in
have gradually reduced this claim to
about 1900, and full returns will
doubtless accomplish still further and
much greater reduction.
Whatever may be the declared re-
suit 80 far as the State and national
tickets are concerned, it is certain that
the Republicans have carried both
branches of the General Assembly
and elected three members of Con-
gress. Returns already in indicate
the election of eleven Republicans to
the Senate and sixty -four to the House
of Representatives, giving a clear ma
iority on joint ballot and securing two
Republican United States Senators.

The South Carolina board of cleo
ton canvassers met at Columhia on
Monday and heard argument from
Democratic aud Republican lawyers
AS To the powers and duties of the
board, 1t is maintained by the Dem
ocrats that under the constitution the
board has no power to alter the results
vi an election as announced by the
county canvassers. The Republicans
claim, upon the other hand, that the
State canvassers have ministerial and
judicial functions, and may exclude
the vote of any county where there
has been fraud or intimidation. The
board adopted the latter view, where
upon counsel for the Democrats ap-
piled for and received a rule from the
supreme Court, directing the canvas
Sers 20 show cause why they should
not be prohibited from exercising
judicial functions. Answer to this
was to he made Thursday, the day
Gxed upon for beginning the canvass

Another riot occurred in Charleston,
on the 9th inst, growing ont of an al
tercation between Republican and
Democrat In a large crowd gathered
ut the telegraph office, where election
returns were being received. One
white man was killed, a dozen
wounded, one colored man fatally
aad eight others seriously hurt. Uni
ted States troops charged the rioters
at denble quick and quelled the dis
turbance. The benefits of federal
interference are again exemplifed in
manner that commands the recog-
milton and approval of all sensible
men.

Thus it will be seen that st. Charles,
Judge Flagg's own parish, is the only
one in the District which gave him a
majority and the large vote which
Judge Marks received there is matter
for surprise when it is considered that
he consented quite early in the cam
paign to abandon his canvass of the
parish in order TO facilitate the heal
ing of local dissensions among the st.
Charles Republicans. One gratifying
consequence of this arrangement Is
evident in the reelection of Hon.
Michael Hahn to the House of Repre-
sentatives by an unanimous Repub-
| lican vote, Increased by the ballots of
nearly u hundred Democratic citizens
of st. Charles. The result has shown
that Judge Marks could we'll afford
the seeming sacrifice. He has run far
ahead of the Republican ticket in this
I
district, and has received fully 1000
Democratic votes.
Notwithss sanding this overwhel ming
expression of popular opinion in favor
of his opponent, Judge Flasg has
determined to contest the election on
the ground that Mr.. Marks is ineligi-
BILE to the position of District Judge
that he does not possess diploma
and is not in the eye of the law an
attorney. We do not care to enter
upon a discussion of this matter. but
we are convinced that Judge Flagg's
point is not well taken, and that when
he submits his case to the courts OF
law he will find himself as far in the
lurch as he WAS left by the people on
Tuesday of last week. Judge Marks
went i8to the contest with his eyes
open. warned that the course which
his antagonist has taken might be
pursued he is prepared to meet the
Issue and to vindicate the confidence
Of voters of both parties who favored
