The New Orleans Democrat. (New Orleans, La.) 1875-1876, 1876-08-21

prscttce Of law, which be prosecuted
With great success for all the years fol-
lowing down to the memorable adoption
OF the secession ordinance In 1861, when
hs raised . company Of gallant young
men, which constituted the right flank
company Of the famous Seventh Louis
isns, Of which Capt. Hays was elected
to the oolonelcy and proceeded to the
SCENE OF war In Virginia. The Seventh
Louisiana soon became famous as one
OF the most gallant and effective corps
ia the, army under Beauregard and
Johnston. From the first battle Of Ma
nassas down to the close Of the war, the
Seventh maintained It's reputation as
the best fighting regiment In the whole
army. On the promotion Of Col. Hays
to the Brigadier Generalship, the com.
mand Of the regiment devolyed on Col.
Penn, the Lieutenant Governor elect OF
this State, who proved worthy success
Dor to Hays. We have not the space
tor even q skeleton sketch OF the
active and eventful service OF General
Hays. who participated prominently In
oil the campaigns In Virginia. Some
one OF his numerous friends, more iamil-
lar with the events In which he acted
80 heroic apart, will. we trust, fulfill
the task incumbent on the faithful his
torian, Of describing his many achieve
ments in the long struggle, of the
heroic army, which for four years held
the sacred soil OF Virginia against the
overwhelming force Of the Northern in
vader. Suffice it to say, In this brief
and hurried sketch, that no man In all
this protracted conflict bore himself with
greater constancy, and devotion than
Harry T. Hays. Four times wounded
twice very severely--he always re-
turned to his post with renewed energy,
and never failed in any duty, or shrank
from any peril or service imposed on
him. Detached from the army Of Vir-
ginia to an important command In the
Trans Mississippi, he was actively
engaged in the duties Of his
command when the war closed.
Again General Hays . laid aside
his sword. returned to his law books
and resumed the practice Of law, at
first with the late Gen. d. w. Adams
and Judge E. w. Noise, and more lately
with Major John H. New. who was his
adiutant general ia the war in Virginia.
Elected to the sheriffalty In 1867, Gen.
Hays served one term in that i'm
portant Office, at the end Of which
he resumed his practice at the bar.
With his able, diligent and gifted
partner, Major New, the practice OF the
firm became large and remunerative.
For two years disease had disabled Gen.
Hays from s.ctive business and duty.
Notwithstanding his large income, his
great benevolence, generosity and lib
erality depleted his Accommodations, and,
but for the prudence and foresight Of
securing two life policies Of 500, 900, his
interesting family would have been left
poor. .ft., ...4.. so ,ftr
A good, true. generous, brave, honest
man has departed from us, and his
memory will be long cherished by this
whole community as one Of the bravest
and best OF her citizens

OUTRAGES.

The parish Of Livingston is being bull
dozled. says the Republican; churches
are being shot into by unknown parties
and negroes sleep out In the open wood
for protection and are a prey to mosqui
toes and red bugs. We have been much
troubled Tor several days past to dis.
cover the reason and cause for these
bulldozing outrages on the simple and
inoffensive negroes OF the parish.
1t cannot be desire to rob
them; they have nothing to steal
it cannot be that diabolical1 spirit in.

Southerners-that story will dc. only fol

no Radical party organization In the
parish, nor has there ever been one.

racy In this State, when our Legislature
was almost solidly Radical, Livingston.
at least, was represented by q Demo
crat-an unworthy one, 1t Is true, Tom
Green Davidson-but withal Demo-
crat. There are barely one hundred
negro voters in the parish, including
the colored Democrats: why then
should there be any necessity for this
bulldozing persecution OF these few dark
les to secure their votes, when their votes
are not needed or wanted-the parish
u Democratic without them.
These bulldozers would seem singu-
larly stupid and laboring to defeat
those very aims that, it Is claimed. they
have in view; in fact, did we not know,
from the Republican, that they were
Democrats, we should really judge
them, from their actions, to be working
for the Radical party. They certainly
prove the salvation OF that party in an
unpromising campaign like this. II a
parish shows any tendency to go Demo
cratic. these so-ca1led bulldozers. or
regulators, always interfere, go In and

Congress in the First Congressional Dis

How the heathen Of India manipulate English

extract from the Madras Afal: "An uuuaual
practice is common among the cloth sellers in
Jubbulpote. Bales Of English piece goods a1o

the object Of this is to thcken the texture Of the

win, OF California, has telegraphed here
that he cannot conscientiously certify to
the election returns from his state on ac-
count Of the great frauds discovered by
him. He says that in the Custom House
District alone $500 Democratic votes
were distracted from the ballot-boyes.
Enough fraud has been discovered to
negative all Republican majority already
claimed. The loss of a Republican Eelec-
tor in Oregon makes loss of three votes
for Hayes, with two ineligible Electors
OF Wisconsin and Vermont. It's held by
good legal authority that these losses DO
not constitute legal vacancies and there
fore cannot be filled.
THE OREGON ELECIOR.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA dispatch
from Salem, Oregon. says: 1T is an
nOunced by the Democrats here to-day,
that the following programme viii be
carried out in reference to the case of J..
W. Watts, Pres idential Elector on the
Republican ticket. who was postmaster
OF La Fayette. The law OF Oregon pro-
vidcs that the Secretary Of State in the
presence Of the Governor shall count the
votes and give to the person having the
highest number of votes a certificate OF
election, giving the secretary no power
except to count the votes and issue the
certificates. But it is asserted writ will
be served Oh the Secretary. issued out Of
the supreme court enjoining the issuance
OF certificate TO Watts, and giving it to
the highest elector on the Democratic
ticket.

deed not for months 10 come. The re-
turning board will listen to great
amount OF evidence produced before 1t by
the Republicans and Democrats. and
will, with becoming patience. submit to
the infection of arguments by counsel.
Then, az in duty bound, and as the
board has already determined, enough
votes will be thrown out to give the state
to Hayes. Upon this announcement, the
country will he intensely agitatcd, and
congress will take up the troublesome
question. 1t is just possible that the
house will refuse 10 20 into joint session
with The senate to hear the vote counted
and Hayes declared president. In this
way the time may pass until the Ith OF
March dawns. and the country will md
itself with no president and Gen. Grant,
under the title of acting president. cXer-
csing the powers of military dictator.
Or the senate may proceed with the
counting OF the votes and declare Mr..
Hayes elected. while the house, having
declared the vote OF the electors OF
Louisiana and Florida rejected, may
elect Mr.. ridden. In fact. we are in the
presence OF great danger. The ith of
March may find us with no president or
too many presidents. Therefore it is the
duty OF all 10 keep eool'-of each to do
his best to aIlay excitement and cultivate
the determination to have peace.

clearly improper aud Illegal methods to
keep colered voters away from the polls
or make them vote the Democratic tickle.
I hear of no observation-disclosures case OF vi
olence or intimidation. but find that ne
groes were in several parishes Lrbcd to
vote Tor Tilden and Nichols. There is
reason to believe, but it is not proved,
that in few other cases threats OF dis
charge from employment secured votes.
j. The election WAS the most pcaceable
one that ever took place in Louisiana.
6. There is no apparent reason for the
presence of the military in this city. 1t
is less excited to-day than either Phla-
delphia, New ork, or Cincinnati.
There arc sixteen companies here, and
uniformed men tllrong the streets and
the custom house is garrisoned and forth
fled, as if in expectation OF a seige.
:. The returning board will claim and
exercise the right 10 DO with the returns
according to their own will, regarding
the perpetuation of the Republican adj
ministration as the end to be kept in
view. With this idea they will throw
out just as many parishes as may be nee.
essary unless the people of the North
manifest IN a positive manner their de.
termination that such pervcrsion of the
ballot-box shall not be tolerated.

KELLOGG. BEWARE .

Gov. Kellogg, OF Louisiana, occupies a
very dangerous position at the present
moment. He is likely to be damned if
he does and to be damned il he does not.
With the desire to cheat strong upon
him, the public agitation has filled him
with fear and made him walk with care
full feet and talk with thoughtful
tongue. THIS apparent disposition Of
the 'despot OF Louisiana to deal fairly
with the Democrats. has aroused the
suspicion OF his Radical friends, and has
induced not few OF them to resort to
threats against his person and even his
life. On Sunday morning last, the New
Orleans Republican, the Radical organ of
Louisiana. in a leading editorial article,
warnel the governor "to beware" The
meaning of this threat is unknown to the
Democrats, but it has had very depress-
ing effect upon hi. eXccllency, ="
as it cvilently--so the New Orleans
Times says-''implies a want of conf
dence in him by his party, in some way
or other This want OF confidence is
probably pretended, and the beware
threat made TO hold him steadfast 10 the
villaiious work that has been set for him
TO 10.

PROPOSED DEMOCRATIC '.TIT''
FOR THE REPCBLICAN'

There is more trouble ahead. and this
new trouble will greatly gtieve the Re-
pnblicans. They hold that the returning
board of Louisiana, and the canvassing
boards OF Florida and South Carolina,
should refuse TO give certificates OF cleo
ton to the Democratic electors of those
states. because. as they assert, the cleo
tors of those states were elected by DEM
ocratic frauds upon the ballotbox.
"Very well,' says the Democratic COVER
nor of California, "if that is your game
propose to play at it also. II Demo-
cratic frauds ought to keep the certiti-
Gates of election out of the hands of the
Democratic electors of Louisiana. Flor
ida and South Carolina, Republican
frauds ought to keep the certificates OF
election out Of the hands of the Republi.
can electors OF this state. | have dIscov-
cred enormous Republican frauds in this
state. have discovered that 100 Dem
ocratic votes have been taken bodily out
OF the ballot-boxes. Ii this had not been
done, the Democratic electors would
have been chosen. | will not therefore
give certificates of election to the Repub.
lican electors of this state
Our Republican friends declare that
this is outrageous. We agree with them;
but it is not more outrageous than the
act they propose to do in Louisiana and
Florida. 1t is "tit'' for their tat"

NOT iSCREASED-THEL LOUISIANA
TROUBLE

From the New Orleans papers Of the
lith. we learn that the prospect of an
immediate solution OF the louisiana mud
die has not increased. Both parties
now appear TO anticipate a protracted
struggle, says the Times, lin which
every fact appertaining to the late can.
'ass Will be developed. Representa-.
yves OF the Democratic and Conservative
interests seem firm as ever, repuda,ine
everything which looks like compromise,
ana insisting upon receiving the iull
fruits OF their victory. This fact, if moth.
ins else, forces the Republicans either TO
al once surrender or make a contest, and
II Is believed that the latter horn of the
dilemma has been chosen
