TMH SENATE ELECTION HILL.

There Was introduced into the Senate
yesterday. by tho Committee on Elec.
tions and Registration. an election bill as
a substitute for House bin No, AZ. It's In,
PRODUCTION caused no little indignation
and excitement among the Conscrva-
tiycs., Judge Henry -. Ogden. ono Of
tho safest and ,soundcst Democrats In
the Senate, spoke with a stern gravity
OF the recklossness Of Radical Senators
and their disregard of tho peace of the
State In venturtng to insult the honest,
Conservative sentiment of tho State,
anxious only for law and justice IN tho
future elections or the people, with a
proposition which. they must know,
could only he construed into an act akin
TO tho throwing down of a gauntlet OF
open and implacablc hostility to every
fory-nine out Of fifty white men
In Louisiana, This was, in effect,
We understand. what he said,
The entire body. without exeep-
tion. of the Conservatives In the
Senate. c.sincluding some conservativeRc-.
publicans, seemed TO take. nearly or
altogether. the same indigna mt view
Of the subject as Judge Ogden did.
~ In glancing at the bill this evening,
which we shall probably notice more at
large hereafter, we are not able to
analyze its sections, but we can say at
once that It retains the infamous Re.
turning Board, and appears TO be a negro
bill arraigning the whites for antici-
pated fraudulent or violent practices,
and 10 tonder color line against the
white eiti2eis on the part Of the radical \
and foolish blacks and their bought
white-faced pensioners. We do not be-
neve the more temperate and intelligent
coiorcd men will indorse this measure
ot Internal disorders and possible blood |
shed. '0
We call on the General Assembly III
the Republicans, white-faced. mnlatto
and black, wish TO make the issue
which this election bill seems 10 do
mand, to adjourn for the sake Of the nm.
necessary expense Of staying here and
70 go home. Ifthey want such an issne
thcy certainly can have it. One thing
IS as sure as the path of the earth around
the sun, there can be no election dill
that contains the suspicion Of a dis
honor or insult to the white population

Now, Is there any room left for longer

earnestly deslrous OF relieving the peo-

feeding the prisoners at sixty cents a

shall not cost over twenty cents, and
make it the duty OF the city authorities /
to furnish the same, and not give the
to any one. II the United |
States Government can furnish cheap
food through her paid officers, the city
Of New Orleans and the country par
ishes can do the same.
Democrats Of the Legislature, come up
to the scratch. Don tdodge the question.
The perquisites OF both the Criminal and
Civil Sheriffs are nothing less than an
Infamous swindling Of the people out OF

Gus sorts, among them strawberries. not

bearing delicious fruit. Just below the
