The Tortures or a Turtle.

A big, green sea-turtle splashed i'm
patiently in the narrow limits of a large
box in front of a Madison Street eating
house yesterday. One eye rested reflect
lively on a sign which announced that
the turtle which to-day is, tomorrow is
cut up and cast into the pot, while the
other was closed as if in meditation.
The turtle sighed, and the reporter
leaned over the box and gently inquired
"Why that sigh? l. it that you are
thinking of the dark-blue sea from
whence you have been ruthlessly torn?
Is il that you grieve fer al absent tur-
tie maiden, whose eyes had learned to
light up with the fire Of love at the
sound Of your gentle jaws As they clash

the soft, rosy blush of affection came at

"Ahi" replied the turtle, "you will

After sunset a large thunder cloud came

companied by an unusual amount OF
chain lightning. The rain subsequent

on hundreds of wild geese, which were
in the ponds of shallow water that exist
in that locality. Several persons who
witnessed the remarkable phenomenon
stated that the geese acted very strange
as though hunters had discharged . vol

impenetrable, but the farmers IN the
vicinity thought no more OF the scerr-

American people should prefer Tilden
and Hendricks to Hayes and Wheeler,
and demonstrate their apparent will

the faulty record and dangerous ten

10 reconcile this circumstance with
our opinions of right, justice and the
things essential to the welfare and
progress of the country but We must
preforce submit to the fundamental
Republican principle of majority rule,
possible, hoping for the best and
trusting to the innate wisdom and
justice of the people of the United
States to preserve their admirable
system of government intact and COM
pei proper enforcement of the laws
in all sections of the Union.
The official returns from South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana will
be awaited with the deepest interest
throughout the country. There is
still possibility of the election of
Hayes and Wheeler, but candor com
pels us to admit that the probabilities
are all the other way.

alone. In several instances, the vote
for the rest of the Republican ticket
is larger than for Mr.. Packard. This
is notably the case in Assumption,
where Gen. Nichols has a majority
of seven, but the other Democratic
candidates were defeated.
Without much doubt, the Repub-
licans have carried the Legislature
and elected three members of Con.
gress- Darrall in the Third District,
Smith in the Fourth and Leonard in
the Fifth. The election of sixty-one
mem bers of the House of Representa-
tives and ten Senators is claimed by
the Republicans, with several par
ishes to hear from where close con-
tests were looked for. If these pre-
tensions are sustained by the official
returns, there will be a safe Repub-
lican majority ON joint ballot in the
General Assembly, insuring the Sc
lection Of two Republican United
States Senators.
In view of the Importance attending
the Louisiana election-it being else
where explained that the electoral
vote of this State may decide the pres
idential contest-great interest at
taches to the work of the Returning
Board, not only in Louisiana, but
throughout the nation. President
Grant has directed Gen. Sherman to
give orders to Geu. Augur to afford
ample protection to the Returning
Board, and in order that the country
may feel satisfied of the fairness of
the count, prominent Republicans and
Democrats from the North, East and
West have been solicited to visit New
Orleans and attend the sessions of the
Board. Such men as w. NJ Evarts,
Judge Kelley of Pennsylvania, Chas.
Francis Adams, Gov. Ingersoll, ex-
Cows. Dix, Curtin, Palmer and Trum-
bull, Senators Logan and Kasson and
a number of others have received
such invitations from President Grant
or the national Democratic COM
mittee, and have siguified their ac-
ceptance, some having already com
menced the journey. Under the SUI
pervision of these eminent statesmen
the canvass will be thorough and
equitable, and whatever the result
may be, if it receives their sanction,
the country viii accept it as correct
and Just. The sessions of the Re-
turning Board will probably open
next week.

Protection to the Returning
Board.

Returns from the election of Tues
day come in slowly from interior par
ishes, several not having been heard
from at all up to the date of our cur
rent issue. 1t is yet impossible to
determine the result with any degree
of certainty, but we present herewith
table of majorities in the various
parishes, compiled from the latest and
most reliable information at our COM
maDd:
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1876-11-11

This table, of course, is not claimed
to be reliable, but it is nearly enough
so to show that the election has been
closely contested and the majority
will be small either way. The par
isles of East Baton Rouge, East and
West Feliciana, Morehouse and Qua
chita are not included above, as it
seems to be the prevailing opinion at
the capital that the Returning Board
will exclude them from the count on
the ground that the intimidation pre-
vailing rendered "a fair election i'm
possible. The Democratic majorities
claimed in the parishes named are:
East Baton Rouge. 625
East reilclaua. .lTd3
morenouse,- 500
Total, 4427
In the election of 1874 these five
parishes gave Republican majority
OF 1919 votes, aud it is contended the
remarkable change which is evident
this year could not have been pro-
duced by fair means. In East Feb
elana, which two years ago gave 84I
Republican majority only one Repub-
ilcan vote was cast on Tuesday. If
these parishes are included in the
count, there is little room to doubt
that the Democrats have carried the
State if excluded, the chances are in
favor of the Republicans.
another circumstance to be consid-
cred is that the figures given above
represent the majorities for Governor

HAYES.
TILpEN.

Louisiana, South Caroliua and Flor,
ida are the only States in donbt. The
total electoral vote is 800 and 1876 is
necessary to choice. Tilden, there
fore, needs but single vote to elect
him, and if he carries either of the
doubtful States his success is secured.
Hayes, on the other hand, must car
nv them all To defeat, Tilden one vote.
The chances are therefore decidedly
favorable to Tilden. The reports
from South Carolina and Florida Are
very conflicting, both sides stoutly
claiming victory, and the same may
be said of our own State.
The Republicans have made con-
siderable gains in the election of Con-
gressmen, and the Democratic major
ity in the House of Representatives
will be cut down TO a figure compar-
atively insignificant. if not wiped out
altogether. The Cincinnati Times
publishes an estimate based upon the
latest returns, from which it appears
that the Republicans will have a slight
majority. The official figures, how
ever, may alter this, but the excess
will be. very small either way.
III the Senate the Republicans will
maintain their ascendancy by safe
majority, which will doubtless be
strengthened by two Republican Sen
atOrs from Louisiana, as it seems to
be certain that we have secured a
majority in the General Assembly of
this State, whatever the result of the
guberuatorial contest may be.
From present appearances it is not
improbable that We will have the
same state of affairs which existed
under the administration of Andrew
Johnson-that is, Republican Con-
gress and Democratic President.
There is reason to believe, however.
that in such an event there will not
be that degree of clash between the
legislative aud executive departments
of the government which prevailed
during Jehnson's term. The country
is not passing through such crisis
as it was then doing, aud it is not
probable that President Tilden will
have peculiar policy at variance
with the interests of the government
aud the people which he will seek to
force upon the country despite the
will of our national representative
body, Congress. 1t may be, even,
that such an administration of the
government. as now seems probable
will prove beneficial, and that the
politically opposed branches of the
government, operating as n mutual
check, one upon the other, will pre-
vent those evils in governmental af-
iairs which often arise from the pre-
of partisan political con
in the selection of offic ials
aud the forming of administrative
policy.

DOES IT PAYi

Ono Of the worst features Of the Pres.
idential campaign is the tendency to drag
nown and beslime everything of public
nature connected directly or indirectly
with the Government. The latest eXem.
pliAcation OF this is the attempt on the
part Of Blaine in Boston speech to soil
the purity OF the Supreme Court aud
covertly insinuate that political knavery
had crept in slimy track even over the
folds of the judicial ermine. The case
was an attempted argument that Demo.
cratic victory on the 7th prox. meant
the payment of the Confederate debt.
He brought up a case decided at Port
land Maine, whesein q "rebsl' got judg.
ment agains Gen. Neal Dow. for damages
in relation to sugar seized by him for
his soldiers used in Louisiana. He stated
that Dow had offered the man receipt
for the sugar il he could prove his 10y
atty, that he refused to do this. but
bringing suit got judgment in Louis
lana Court, and that Judge Clifford. a
Democrat, one OF the United States
Judges. withheld" his opinion for eight
years and recently decided in his favor.
their being show now OF making that a
precedent for similar cases should Demo-
Gratis triumph. This has been bera!ded far
and wide, in the New York Times and
similar papers but no place given to the
opposite side of the story. 1t seems the
plaintiff was not "rebel," but we'll
known New York citizen, that he got
judgment by default in the Louisiana
Court, and the only question upon which
Clifford decided was the validity OF the
judgment; something in no way con-
nected with rebel claims. 1t is further
proved that one OF the Associeat Judges
himself Republican-complaiued to
Blaine Of such untenable statement, and
assured him that it was false. yet Blaine
repeated the same charge in his speeches
throughout Ohio. We simply note the
matter to say that the election of Hayes
or Tilten is OF far less consequences to
the country than the purity and integrity
Of the Supreme Courts. and the Repub-
lican party is to be congratulated for not
having as its standard bearer man who
would resort to such base means Of in.
curing party success as to wantonly at
tack the sacredest of all our institutions,
and one in which ever citizen has deep
