unqualified satisfaction to the leading in
terests, while as Governor be has done not
a little in promoting literature by making
certain Democratic journals interesting at
times, and, perhaps, on one or two occs-
sions their longer existence possible.
Surely man who has done 90 much, one
who has material interests here; owns
property, pays taxes, pays his debts, and
has an unexpired contract to serve as
Governor, is not to be summarily ordered
to quit the State like a tramp or vag-
rant; and a newspaper, committee, or q
political party that attempts it only SUBJ
jects itself to ridicule.

THE DEMOCRATIC RETURNING BOARD

THE DEMOCRATIC RETURNING BOARI
By great good luck, the Democrats of thi
parish have succeeded in sending nearl!
enough uncontested delegates to the nomi
mating convention to form a committee OF
credentials. We say ''nearly enough,
because an attempt was made to file con
test against the chairman of the commit
tee himself but as the papers were not re-
ceived within the time when the committee
thought they should have been filed, they
have been ruled out, and the chairman
holds as we'll by the default of his antag.
onist as upon his rightful claim, which OF
course We do not question.
A full week has been consumed in the
| very difficult task of interpreting "the
peoples will" which is Democratic for
saying how many candidates have man.
aged so adroitly as to make it appear not
only that they have received a majority
OF the votes cast in their respective wards
IN the primary elections, but also have
heretofore conducted themselves as good
Democrats. A majority vote alone is not
sufficient. One gentleman has been
elected as many as six times from his
ward and been as often rejected, NOM
Inally because his friends did not observe
the rules OF fairness; really as his friends
assure u.s. because he accepted an ap-
polntment from Governor Kellogg, and is
suspected of being Republican in dis
gulse, or very weak Democrat at best.
In another contest from another ward this
parochial returning board has been Obliged
to consider and give weight to things
which had no bearing upon the facts and
figures of the election, but did relate di-
rectly to the political and social status of
the candidates. Without perhaps know
ing it, Messrs. Fitzpatrick, Diamond, Fin
nerty and their thousands of friends and !
supporters are on trial before committee !
influenced by the gentlemen of Louisiana
Tor their Democracy and political respecta-
olllty. Atleast this is the appearance the
contest presents on the surface. VIVA,

liant reason for suspicion that the old
'ounds OF 1854 have been opened, and

harmony, and with view Of giving On
tire satisfaction to this community" tc
surround the returning board with
armed guards and admit only those who
are furnished with tickets by the leaders
at headquarters on Union street. These
tickets will be restricted to non-contest
ants. Contestants were not permitted
to appear before the committee on Gre
dentials either in person or by attorney
to defend their interests. The number Of
votes which contestant received in bis
own ward counted for nothing. In the
desire for harmony and to give entire sat.
isfaction to this community, all such con.
siderations as the ballots Of many hun.
dfed voters in the second or third wards
will be disregarded and those contestants
only admitted who can be vouched fol
upon considerations more satisfactory to
the Know-Nothing element which seems
to be now running away with the party
and the men they fought SO bitterly
twenty years ago.
Perhaps these genteel leaders know
their men, and how far they can go with
out driving their poorer, more ignorant
and at the same time numerically superior
colleagues to revolt and open hostility.
The two classes are already confronting
each other in such manner that one or
the other will be compelled to give way.
The one has the most money, the other
the greater number of votes. It is conf
IDENTIFY expected that wealth, intelligence
and influence will win, and poverty and
ignorance 60 to the wall, as usual. In
such a case, therefore, the Republicans
can not hope to gain much by the mutiny
in the Democratic camp. The parochial
offices and honors will be parceled out
among "the gentlemen of Louisiana"
while the rank and file, the steady voters,
will be cajoled with the old promises of
employment at the shovel and hoe in the
Department Of improvements. Such a
solution would no doubt be, in the fine
phraseology of the Democratic general
orders issued on Sunday morning, 'to the
entire satisfaction of this community"
1t is apparent that colored and white
Republican voters and the Irish citizens
of the second, third, seventh, ninth and
eleventh wards are not included in "this
since some of them were
not consulted even in the primaries, and
the others having neglected to take re-
peated hints given them in throwing out
the results Of several elections, are now
to be barred from their own convention,
unless rivals, elected nobody knows how,
be admitted on terms Of equality with
them.
This may all conduce to ''peace and
harmony" and the CENTRE satisfaction of
this community" but it can be predicated
upon no better hypothesis than an entire
want of spirit and manhood on the part of
the late triumphant candidates of the
'tshort hair" constituencies.

A GOOD WORD FOB COUsHATTA.

We take pleasure in testifying to the
| improved behavior of Coushatta, as shown
on the occasion of the visit of Governor
Antoine, Judge Levisee and Mr.. Kennedy.
About eleven hundred people, including
many Democrats, came out to hear, and as
reported by our correspondent, behaved
themselves as we'll as ordinary good Cit.
zens are in the habit of doing. For the
good order maintained and the good feel
ing manifested on that occasion they are
entitled to the thanks of the Republicans
throughout the South. If they could be
persuaded to go step further and find out
the green goggled monster who murdered
King and mutilated Twitchell, they
would go far toward removing the awful
stain which is almost indelliby stamped
on the character of the place.
In this connection, it is proper to say that
not very long ago, deputation of citizens
waited upon gentleman from this city,
who was passenger on an upward bound
steamboat, and declared it was their de-
sire to do something to retrieve their lost
reputation; that since the Twitchell affair
there had been scarcely visitor come to
the place; business was dull; the people
were actually lonesome, and had become
almost tired of each others company, as
they assembled at the usual corner to loaf
away the day. This condition Of isolation
had become almost uncomfortable, besides
it promised to grow very Improbable.
The Republican meeting, therefore, af-
forded, the people of Coushatta fair op-
portunity to come out and declare them
selves on the side of good order and fair
hospitality. I. is not necessary that they
should all become converted in day and
embrace Republicanism, though if our
ticket shall be successful in November we
shall expect many recruits. At present,
all we can reasonably ask is that the shot
gun, the green goggles and the intimida-
ton be laid aside, and universal tolera-
ton of political opinion and freedom to
vote established instead.

STATE OONSOLS,

We regretted very much to see The
Picayane lend its columns to the dissent.
nation Of vile falsehoods, concocted TO,
the sole purpose of ipjuring tie State
credit and indirectly aiding thereby the
schemes Of the "bear ring" gotten up to
operate in Louisiana consols. The
comments of Governor Kellogg on this
suspicious affair are pertinent, and calcu-
lated to make our contemporary feel very
much ashamed either at its ignorance and
recklessness in publishing such q grave
accusation without attempting its verif-
cation. or at being caught assisting so
scaly job. 1t seems to be considered
perfectly legitimate with Democratic pa
pers to allege any official malfeasance
against Republicans, no matter how slip
shod the testimony, utterly ignoring the
official facts so easily attainable. Suca a
course pursued by this journal toward the
Democratic city officials would Justly
bring on US the ceusure of all fair minded
persons. But in such cases as this recent
offense of the Picay1nes, thousands
foreigners abroad, Democrats and Repub-
licans at home, and widows and orphans
are injured unwarrantably in their prop
erty interests, all for the gain of few
heartless spectators.
While on the subject Of the bonds we
may add that large firm of capitalists in
Cincinnati last week wrote to the
State Auditor concerning the pay
ment of the next cor january in
terest installment, and were officially
that ''under no circumstances
will payment be permitted to 60 by de-
tault, and all our obligations will be met
As promptly as heretofore The Auditor
states that no event which is at all proba-
Die to happen can now prevent sufi-
'iency of interest money reaching the
reasury to meet every demand that can
'e made at the end of the year.
