TbeCzar Of Russia In his speech at MOSCOW

4onteDegrins a. "reai heroes.n but said he

Montenegro contains but 2, 100 square miles.
and has but little more than 100 900 inhsbi-

Gus, and has BEEN described by q traveller az
q succession OF mountain ranges, diversified

OF the country and the natural bravery of the
Aontenegrfns, Turkey has never bsen sue.
cessful In fully subjugating them. In 1896
5000 Turks were hemmed In the mountain
Harnesses and slaughtered by the Montene-
Rrfns, who make 10 rule never to ask or give
quarter. II the Turks make an inroad into
their country even old men, cripples, aud
boys take to arms, and from their rocky fast
nesses pick of the advancing enemy. They
spare the lives of all who surrender before a
battle, but Invariably cut off the heads of
All enemies taken with arms in their hands
These heads are frequently suspended from
their necks and shoulders when they rush
Into battle. and are subsequently carried OF
rs trophies. II Is q singular fact that AL
though the Russian monarchs since IIIl have
extended q protectorate over this brave
people, and have fully awaited themselves of
the assistance Of the Moatenegrins in their
wars against Turkey that they have never on
concluding peace with the latter power, en-
neavored TO secure the independence OF their
brave allies.

Ser ator West, of Louisiana has been In
terviewed on the subject OF the returning
board OF that state, and corrects several
misapI reheDsions In reference to IL and Its
legal powers. The law of Louisiana pro.
vides that the returning board shall consist
OF I'VE persons, TO be selected by the senate,
from all political parties. At present there
are two vacancies on the board, which the
law empowers the other members to I'LL
The members OF the board are ]. Madison
Wells, surveyor Of the port OF New Orleans,
who, by the way, IL not q colored man, rs
has been stated, and Messrs. Cazenave and
kenner. both colored, all of whom Mr.. West
asserts are honorable and intelligent men,
The present vacancies were caused by the
resignation of Mr.. Arroyo, democrat, who
resigned after counting the vote Of 1874, and
by the fact that the other member Mr.
Thomas Anderson, was disqualified for the
reason that he ran In the late election as a
candidate for the state senate. The law
gives the returning board power to throw
out returns on proof OF fraud or violence 1t
says:
'.n after such examination the returning
omcers shall be convinced that said riot tn
mutt, acts OF violence, Intimidation, armed
cistuIosnoe; bribery or corrupt influences

The Cincinnati Commercial thinks the
point OF weakness In the republican case in
Louisiana lies in the fact that IL fraudulent
democratic majorities are thrown out where
the strongest republican parishes have been
ferrorized, the real republican majorities
are gone and cannot be recovered. The
Commercial supposes a case as follows:
"Suppose the Returning Board obtain the
regal proof OF fraud and Intimidation In East
and West FeliciaDa. Morenouse, Ouachtta
and East Baton ROuge-they rid the state of
q fraudulent democratic majority OF four
thousand; but the real repu blican majority

New-York tribune., 1876-06-01

Iector or assessor under an administration
such as these fellows seek TO elect. we nave
seen what they do in the green leaf; we can
perhaps imagine what 1t might be in the dry. 90
far they have only had an opportunity 10
"purfy politics. to limited extent, put
they have given us stencil that before we
had not dreamed of. With larger opportunl-
ties they would no doubt give us pes'ilence.
The party seems fairly saturated with dishon-
esty and hypocrisy; the only encouragement to
be had from it is IN the fact that Its hypoc-
risy is SO thin and shoIt-lyed that 1t must DC
coniparatiyely harmless. Out OF all It's re-
fol1n professions the party has gwen us
but one conspicuous practical reform
er, and that is Gov. Tilden 1he
party leaders never desired his nomlna-
ton for Governor, but were forced to
it by the fact that the pretense OF reform Oh
which it was playing two years ago had no
other logic than the nomination or the best
known practical reformer in the State. Inc
politicians did not want him then, and do not
now. They are very sick of him. He Is not
of their kind. He has prosecuted thieves, ana
thieves do not like him. And so the same
Democratic leaders who profess to be SO pro-
foundly in earnest for reform are saying
that Tilden must not be nominated at st.
Louis because he is lot popular with
his palty-will lose votes. Whosea Why
the old Tammany and the present Canal
Ring, Of course. The boast is made
already that Tllden has been killed off; that
he has no chance for the ST. Louis nomina-
ton. 1t may be true. If it is, it is only
another open and shameless abandonment OF
the principle for which this Democratic party
has pretended great devotion. They arc pre-
tending to favor administrative reform, ana
they deliberately sacrifice Tiden for no other
reason than because he has shown himself
such a practical reformer that the thieves hate
him and will not vote for him. They cannot
make nomination, except they nominate liin'
that will represent anything more than the
universal Democratic aspiration for power and
place and patronage
A strange fatality has attended the Demo-
cratic. party for the past sixteen years. 1t has
two or three times been trusted with enough
power to permit it scope to show its own un-
fitness and it has invariably shewn it. 1t loses
its head upon the slightest provocation. IL
has rarely shown anywhere, except IN New
York. under the administration of Gov. Tildcn,
anything like honesty of purpose or ability
or capacity. 1t is feeble and corrupt, and
hasn't the discretion to disguise it for an ap-
preciablc period. The Congressional exhl-
btioa, and the general disposition among the
patty leaders to put the knife into Iilden,
because he really is what they pretend to be,
show up the party better than its platforms.
It's bad all through.
