Washington.
We are indebted to Col. Ben. Wilson
for copy of the Washington Gazette, a
Democratic paper published at the Ma
tional Capital, and in the same we notice
an article, taking up and stigmatizing, as
it deserves, the term "ex-rebel," as ap-
piled so generally by the Radical press to
the appointments recently made in the
House Of Representatives. This said ar
ticle refers particularly, however, to one
in the Administrations kitchen organ,
the Republican, sneeringly alluding to
these appointees, and calling them by the
above name. And to clinch the false
hood or this "favorite campaign war
whoop," as we'll as to show the dema-
goguery of the RAIDS. in raising such a
cry, the following figures are given prov.
ing that the "boys ia blue' holding posi-.
tions in the House largely outnumber the
"boys in gray"
Statement of the Doorkeeper of the
House of Representatives OF the For
ty Fourth Congress, of appointments
made by him, being complete list, to
wit:
New appointees that were in the Union
army, &c
New appointees that we're in Confede-
rate army, IL
New appointees that have taken modi-
fed oath, 1f
New appointees that have taken iron
clad oath, 81
New appointees that are colored men, 8

The iron-clad oath is the oath taken by
those who gave no aid or assistance to
the rebellion. The modified oath is o
simple oath to support the Constitution
Of the United States.

This is statement which should al
once put to rest the silly efforts of the
Republicans to make Northern soldiers
believe that the Democratic party is es
pecially hostile to them, and wishes to
deprive them Of their bread and butter.

usual reckless disregard for truth, the

New York Stats Zeitung.l

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-THE complete
election returns from the Parish Commits
~sioners, forwarded according to law in du-
plicates, most of which have already arrived
here. while the others are upon their
way their contents having been t~elegraphed,
show that the Democratic majority in Lou
isiana is 5000. Nevertheless, the Return
ing Board will declare the Republican Elec-
tors for President and Vice-President to be
chosen, and this will be don by rejecting
the whole vote of some parishes and part OF
the vote of other parishes; all under apre-
tence whose absurdity can be shown in case
an investigation should be set on foot.
1t seems as il the Returning Board could
not be restrained from the execution Of
his design by any means whatever. 1nac-
cessible to reason or to moral pressure, the
members of the Returning Board despise
public opinion and point to the result Of the
election in most of the Northern States as a
proof Of the readiness of the people to
sanction frauds and usurpations Of the worst
kind.
Under these circumstance the gentlemen
from the North who are now here will &C.
complish little; yet they can collect material
for an impartial report and distribute it
among the people. But even this, consid-
ering the Indifference of the American peo-
pie for fairness and justice. will only serve
as a funeral discourse over the grave Of the
Republic. OsWoLD OTTENDoRsER.

If the election really were dependent m
the vote of Louisiana the situation would
undoubtedly be an exceedingly grave one.
Four years ago, by an organized scheme Of
villainy in which q Federal Judge played q
prominent part. the popular will in that
State, as expressed at the ballot-box. was
set at defiance, and the State given into the
hands of a usurper, who still retains the
power secured to him.. first by fraud and
afterward by force. Nor is this merely the
partisan view Of the matter. 1t is the YER
diet of thoughtful, candle men in both po-
litical parties, who have weighed the evil
dence and made up their judgmentfrom the
facts. 1t is the view taken by Republicans
like Senator Carpenter and Congressman
Wheeler, late candidate Of the Republican
party for Vice-President, as well as by lead
ing Democrats in and out of C0ngress......
There is no such easy solution, however,
Of the problems which will arise should the
frauds of 1872 be repeated at this time.
Then it was only q State that was affected
and it was perfectly competent for the peo-
pie thereof, il they saw fit, to waive their
rights and to suffer one wrong to avoid an

people of Louisiana can not be permitted to

In one of the New York courts the

A Ship Canal from New Orleans to the
Gulf.

The most intelligent citizens of New
Orleans, and of cities along the Mis-
sissippi and its tributaries, have organ
lied a chartered corporation with q
capital of five millions, for the purpose
of e~xcaVating a slack-water ship canal
from New Orleans itself to deep water
in Barrataria Bay Tugbcets that have
preyed upon New Orleans commerce
till commerce died of the plague will
themselves be no more. Galveston and
cities along the southern coast of Tex
as would be enriched by this ship canal,
which lessons the commercial distance
between New Orleans and Galveston
nearly one-half, and for the reason that
it would lessen the cost of traversiug
this distance in sailing vessels more
than half. But the great end effected
would be discovered in the reversal of
the commercial map of the South.
Trade and traffic and travel from the
Ohio and Missouri, and the whole
wealth of the country on either side of
the Mississippi, the very day that Cow
don's slack-water canal may be opened,
would be turned South from the East.
The new and old Northwest would alike
come down the river and down the rail-
ways across Arkansas and Texas to
find acces to Europe, the West Indies,
South America, and Mexico, through
Southern seapoIts, and through these
would the South receive the products
and merchandise of the exterior world.
1t is a splendid vision of a magnificent
future.-Austtn Statesman.

An Unpleasant Mistake.

LOWELL, Mass, Nov. 1s.-Thef friends
of Lieut.. Philip Reed, U. S. A, met
yesterday to receive the remains of his
wife, who died last August at Paris, and
which it had been determined to have
disinterred there and sent to Lowell.
The shipping box supposed to contain
the remains arrived yesterday, and on
being opened disclosed to view a coffin
bearing on a brass plate the name of
Josephine Buruzzi. Some mistake was
apparent, and the inner coffin was
opened, disclosing to view the form of
a stranger, whose decease must have
occurred a year since, instead of Mrs.
Reed. 1t is thought that the mistake
must have occurred in the disiHterment
at Paris. The relatives of Mrs. Reed
were much saddened by the ~inexcusabie
error. The remains were Inferred in
