ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA.
FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1875.

The result of the primary election in this city,
Yesterday, is as gratifying to the Conservatives
as it was unexpected and dishearteulue to the
Ra,lica,s. Probably as large vote was poed
as was ever before brought out iu a primary 10
the city; and the fact that 80 many people
went to the polls is considered as indicative OF
the success Of the entire Conservative ticket on
the 18th inst, for, it is weI-known, that large
number who had DO particular interest IN the
selection OF the candidates would not take the
trouble to 90, being determined to vote fol
whoever might be nominated. The ticket, a:
decided by majority of the Conservative vo
tiers, is an excellent one 10 all respects, and
Justly merits, as it will doubtless receive, To.
cordial and unanimous support ofthe Conser'
yative party.

Later accounts from louisiana say that the
trouble 10 Feciana parish was overmuch ex-
aggerated. The bloodshed is said to comprise one
white mau and two negroes killed and several
negroes wounded. Quiet has been restored
without the interference of the troops, and as
Gen Graot can not be cand date for the third
term, martial law will not be proclaimed in

OH That .Ring.''

Tue souls OF our "Iudcpeudeut" friends have,
OF late, been sorely vex. by that dreadful
ring which controlled the Conservative par
ty, d, i arrapges the times and places at which
the people are to express their preference Tor
candidates. They were afraid the voice OF the
people would not be heard that their sentl
ments would be shifted by "the FIVE in u
packed convention aud that "Cineuuatus'
would be toised on our unwilling community
BY members and * members Of the General
Assembly They waited primary election; no
ward meetings for them.
But, 10 q change. n t only is a primary
election igusred, bu, the people are 10 nave nc
say, even il ward meetings as 10 whom toy
81 all support. The candidates have decided
unanimously that TWO oil their number shall
"uamc five gentlemen from each ward, VINO
will meet TO nlght in Harow's Hall, aud sc!ec,
FROM the list The names OF ca,d dates to be
adopted" That will not b. packed coDvcn

(tha; Is, all those who want to get offices by TIE
aid of the nrgrocs.) hive agreed to 1t, aud are
they not the people? Oh shame, whcr, IL

modest demand of our Rad cal fellow cltlz u,

clerk Of the House Of Representatives The
revised statutes forbid any person holding
