AntOnelli's Death.

The death Of Cardinal Antonelli closes
the career of the greatest Roman politician
of modern times. Born in 1906, conspicuous
In politics during the pontificate of Gregory
xvi, and Prime Minister under Plus TX,
the life of this ambitious and indomitable
statesman has embraced some of the most
stirring periods In the history of the Church
of Rome. Into his hands was committed
the secular power of the papaoy. How ua-
relentiugly and astutely he welded it, the
world has long since known. The Pontifi.
gracious in demeanor and endeared to
multitudes of people by his misfortunes
and the viciseitudes which he has endured,
has not been associated in the minds OF
most men with the Willy, scheming and
naughty cardinal who served his falling
State 80 we'll. Antonelli has bravely fought
against the re esistiess march of events. But
he must have tasted the bitterness OF death
when the last vestige of the temporal
power of the Holy See disappeared: and
Rome became the capital of united Italy.
There was, IN these later days. less opPor-
tunity for the exercise of his commanding
abilities; and, though he has in his time
played many parts which caught the atten-
ton of the civilized world, it is not likely
that his removal by death will have the
slightest effect In any court of Europe out
side of tho Vatican.

Tho Returns.

The election returns received yesterday
did not materially vary the figures already
published. There is an iEexplcable delay
in receiving definite results from many par
ishes in the interior.
The supervisors in tho city bave not yet
completed the tabula.ion of the figures.
In the coarse of day or swO the exact
data from each parish viii. bs in hand, and
the votes cast in Orleans for the various
candidates.
1t is proper to say, however, that nothing
has been received to lessen the confidence
Of Republicans in their victory iu the State.
NoTE.-By an inexcusable oversight the
vote of Ouachita was published yesterday
morning as conceded to the Democrats. No
stretch of human reason can reconcile the
events of the seventh Of November in the
parishes of Ouachits, East and West Fell
eiana, East Baton Rouge and Morehouse
with free and honest election. The pro-
ceedings in each parish were marked by
ruff snism, intimidation aud fraud such a.
no government on earth can countenance
aud survive.
