THE GERMAN VOTE.
Emphatic Advantage in Favor Of Tl11em,
Judging by the Press.
[St. Louis Republican.I

LoL. LOUIS ItepuDlctni
The Germans sometimes play very
important part in our politics. They
always impress their views ON public
questions, and at times they decide
them. There are some signs that they
will decide the present Presidential con
test. 1t is not yet five days since the
Democratic ticket was nominated and
already the expressions OF German
opinion in the country are largely in
favor OF that ticket-so largely indeed,
as to be surprising.
1t is almost too early to make up list
comprising all the German papers in
regard to their political position, espe
cially the weeklies. But some impOr-
tant facts may be stated now. Every
Democratic paper is enthusiastically for
Tilden. OF these papers formerly favor
ing the Republican party, or being.
Liberal-Democratic in politics, some,
and amongst them papers OF consider
able influence, have come out openly
against Hayes and for Tilden, while
others, formerly of Republican tenden-
cies, speak Of Tilden' s nomination favor
ably without making choice as yet, or
even incline decidedly to the Tilden
side. While the Tilden papers are, in
regard to numbers. about three-fifths OF
all the German papers, they represent
ing majority.
If the circulation Of the Tilden and
Hayes papers Is any criterion, the over
whelming majority Of German votes
will go for Tilden, and we believe that 1t
is correct indicator, il We take the po-
litical sentiment Of the Germans as a
whole, much as it may fluctuate In GER
tain localities. We do not know at this
time of three German papers in Illinois
that support Hayes; and the Chicago
Stats Zeitung states that it is far
from certain that Illinois will give
majority for the Republican
ticket. Indeed, when it is stated that
from present appearances. eight out OF
every ten German sheets printed in the
United States support Tilden, the
chances Of his carrying Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin, four States
hitherto conceded to Republicans, be-
come decidedly encouraging. 1t was the
German vote that carried Ohio for
Hayes over Allen last year it may be
that the same vote will carry the State
for Tilden over Hayes this year.
In short, the view Of the field five
days after the start shows an emphatic
advantage in favor OF Tilden.

What the scalIawags and Carpctbasgers
Count On.
fSt. Louis Republican.


The Senate is doing all it can to pass
a supplementary enforcement act that
will avoid the constitutional objection
found in the present one by the United
States courts. The enforcement act is
part of the machinery relied on by
the Republicans to carry the cleo
ton in enough Southern States to Sc
cure their success in the electoral count,
and they are very 10th to give it up at
this time when they most need it. Here
tofore the passage Of such acts, t1a-
grantly unconstitutional though they
may be, has been a comparatively
EASY task, because a Republican House
would probably agree with Republi
can Senate in enacting whatever the
party required, and Republican Presi-
dent never withheld his approval from
such legislation. But the present House
is Democratic, fortunately, and 1t makes
opposition to these acts.
1t has provided in the judicial appro-
priation bill that all those parts OF the
enforcement law which authorize the
employment Of supervisors OF election
and deputy marshals to assist in the
conduct Of elections should be repealed.
The Senate insists on retaining these
provisions, and it is probable that this
will be another cause of disagreement
between the two houses. 1t was the
lawless provisions Of the enforcement
act that gave us the present worthless
kellogg govern ment in Louisiana, and
the Republicans rely on them to secure
another such State government.

THE GOvERNORsHIP.
Views Of Franklin.
Franklin PARISH. June 20. 1877

FRANKLIN PARISH, June 80, 1876.
Editor DemOcrat-I noticed recently q
communication in the DEMOCRAT from
this parish, over the signature OF "Sub-
scrtber, in reference to the choice OF
our people for Governor.
While conceding the high character
and patriotism Of the gentlemen re-
ferred to by Subscriber" yet / do not
hesitate to say that the choice Of the
people OF this parish lies between Gov.
John McEnery, Gen. Fred. Ogden, and
Gen. Nicols. The nomination Of either
OF these gentlemen would mean not
only the election Of our ticket, but the
redemption of Louisiana.
Subscriber" again, in assuming to
speak for Franklin, says that she wants
no extremist This term Is generally
applied TO those who have always been
true and determined in their opposition
to the Kellogg usurpation. These So
called extremists are the men that the
people OF Franklin parish will most cor
daily support.
sSnbscriber also says that Franklin
parish will present the name OF the
! Hon. Duncan Buie for Auditor. While
I admit she gentleman is all that Sub
scriber represents him to be, the people
OF Franklin have not yet spoken on the
subject, as they have not yet held any
convention or mass meeting, and as no
delegates have been selected, Subscri-
ber's nomination is, think, little
premature.
Franklin has many gentlemen equally
entitled to the support and confidence
OF the people. When the people Of
Franklin meet in convention they can
make their own selection, in case they
think proper to present the name OF any
OF her sons for place on the State
ticket. So far as / know Franklin de-
mands nothing, but will be satisfied
with ticket composed OF honest and
competent gentlemen, no matter from
what portion OF the State they are taken.
Yosrs, truly, FRANKLIN.

POINTE COUPEE.
Organization Of n Democratic COnserva- :
tive Club.

A meeting Of the Democrats and Con :
servatives of the Thirteenth Ward, par
ish Of Pointe Coupee, was held on the
Ist July, 1876, at L. J. Majors store, to
organize club for the ensuing cam
paign.
After the usual preliminary proceed
ings, Mr.. Oscar Bergeron was chosen
secretary.
On motion of Dr. G. J.. Balsley, duly
seconded, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas. We are convinced that the defeat of
the party which is responsible for the corrupt
practices that have SO long characterized our
State, as well rs general government. is the only
means through which reform can be accom-
plished in said governments; and
Whereas, We believe that our success in the
approaching Presidential election depends on
the selection of candidates whose past career
would be a guarantee to the people Of their thor
ough qualifications in all respects TO perform
the herculean task Of correcting the abuses OF
which the masses justly complain.
ResoLred. that our gratitude is due the Ma
tional Democratic Convention. recently oSsein.
bic at St Louis. for their faithful discharge OF
the important trusts which devoiyed upon them;
and moreover that we cordially approve Of
their nomination. and pledge eurseves4to ~ aup-

members of the club were enrolled.
On motion OF u L. Henderson, the
Secretary was instructed to forward IA
copy OF these proceedings to the New
Orleans DEMOCRAT, Bee and Ptcnynpe

BW WoMAN's EXPLOITS ON Horse
BAcK.-It is said :here is young lady
in the western portion of this state who
can be seen flying about the hills Oil
horseback, leaping great yawning chasms
and ravines, and riding on the precipi:-
Gus hillsides, where an ordinary eques-
trian would think it impossible for a
horse to get foothold. She throws the
lasso with precision, and can turn the
stoutest bull over on his back with as
much ease as a cook would flop pan
cake. Contrary to what might be e1-
pected, she does not ride a la clothes
pin, but in the secure side saddle fash
ion. This lady, whose performances
create deserved enthusiasm in her re-
gion, is apparently not over twenty one
years Of age.

n The HARrER's FERRY PROPER
rY.-A Washington letter TO the Balti'
more Sun, dated March goth, says
.'On the ninth of this month the At
torney General addressed letter to
Senator Davis, of West Virginia, stat
ing that his desire was TO take any
action relative to the Harpers Ferry
property which would meet the views
of the West Virginia delegation and be
for the interests Of the government and
the people of Harper's Ferry. To-day
Senator Davis addressed letter in re-
ply to the Attorney General, which was
also signed by his colleague, Senator
Caperton. The request is again made
in the letter TO the Attorney General
to dismiss the appeal now lying to the
Supreme Court from the decision of
Judge Jackson. The letters also calls
attention to the immense water-power
of Harpers Ferry, and suggest in view
of the immense amount of paper con-
sumed by the government, amounting
TO over one million dollars last year,
that it would be expedient to establish
great government mills at the point to
manufacture all the various qualities OF
paper needed for government purpos-
