louisiana.

The demo- have virtually given up
South Carolina and Florida and pinned
their final hope of electing Tilden upon
Louisiana The dispute in regard to the
vote OF that State is narrowed down to
five parishes, East Baton Rouge, last te-
liciana, West Feliciana, Morehouse and
Ouachta. The table published in our
columns yesterday presented facts in re
gard to those parishes which show the alb
surdity of the claim of the democrats.
In 1874 the registration Of voters in the
said parishes showed majority OF col
ored voters over white voters of jO53.
The REPUBLICAN majority at election the
same year was 1919. The registration of
voters in the same parish in 1876 is, whites
1914; colored II 1914; colored majority
$500. And yet with this large prepon-
derance of colored voters. the great mass
of whom are republicans, the democrats
claim a majority of 44+2! They claim
that in East Felciana, where there was a
colored registration of 2l27, not a
single vote for Hayes electors found its
way into the baIlot-boxes If Tilden is
willing to claim his election in the face of
facts like these, it will be manifest to
the American people that he at least
would have no objection to being Presi-
dent through the most palpable fraud.
As to the power and duty of the Return
ing Board. the law of the State OF Lou
isiana leaves it no chance but to cast out
the vote of entire parishes where it can
be shown that intimidation has been used
to drive voters away from the polls in
sufficient numbers to affect the general
result Those northern democrats who
have gone to New Orleans have already
found that they went on FOOLS errand.
The Returning Board will have two dem
ocrats upon it, and may be trusted to per-
form its duty according TO law and not
as Mr.. Hewilt's committee may dictate
or desire.
The character of the evidence on which
they act will be tested by competent on
lockers of both parties with perfect thor
oughness and, we trust, with entire i'm
partially. Reckless partisans will not
mend matters by giving the cue to I'M
scrupulous party organs to condemn the
action of the Returning Board in advance.

Freedom of the Ballot in Georgia

The Southern correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial was at the polls in Augusta, Ga, on
Tuesday and describes what he noticed there as
follows:
"At the Court House in this city are two ballot
boNes-one for whites and one for blacks. lspent
a part of the day there watching the true inward
ness of Georgia election as there revealed. At
the white box, so far as ! saw, all white man
had to do was to present his ticket and announce
bis name. Although standing around there some
time, did not hear single question asked voter
or any objection made to his vote. white skin
seemed to be sufficient. Indeed, a young man
offered me ticket-democratic of course. de-
c,ined, telling him | did not live in this State.
oh, said he, that don't make any difference.
You are white, and will be asked no questions
| have not the least doubt but what could have
voted, as all the time was there not white man
was challenged or asked question. He gave hi,
name, and his ticket was taken. But at the black
box, in the same building the case was far differ
| ent. Every black man was asked from three to
dozen questions. His name, his age, where he
lived, how old he was, and if he had paid his taxes
and had receipt. 1t is the law in Georgia that
all voters must have paid their previous year 5
taxes before they can vote. The law Is well
enough, but is applied entirely to the blacks.
Every white man Is presumed 10 have paid his
| taxes, and no questions are asked! But no black
man was allowed to vote until he had satisfied the
officers that he had paid his taxes. AT least halt
who applied to-day were turned away. Some
were allowed to vote, | noticed, upon swearing
that they had paid their taxes, while others were
turned away unceremoniously, after question or
two, and not asked TO swear as to the payment of
taxes anything else At IL o'clock the whites
had voted about 400 and the blacks about 500,
although the latter were awaiting their opportun-
| ty in great crowds, and would have voted fully as
last as the whites if no questions had been asked.
AT O'Clock the vote stood 200 white to 900 black
in round numbers, although the black population is
not far from equal to that of the whites"

POLITICAL.

The republican majority in Pennsylvania will
be over $1,000.
One Of the North Carolina democratic papers
already throws out the suggestion that the prop
er course for Northerners to take is northward 81

If you want really impartial man to count

town on Wednesday, the evidence shows that the
first shot was fred by a white named O'Neill. He
said his pistol was self-cocking one and went
off accidentally. He had known it to do so before
and wound a colored boy who was examining it,

Senator Patterson OF South Carolina, says, in
regard to the democratic protest against the Board
of Canvassers Of that State exercising a revsory
jurisdiction over the returns that not only is there
ample law for 1t, but that il has been practiced
since the organization of the board. lie says
that the Supreme Court of the State decided in
the Barnwell case that the decision of the Canvas
sing Board was a finality and could not be inter-
fered with. The canvassers will be required TO
finish their count by the Doth day of November,
as they are acting under an old law which was
passed during the period when the general and
Congressional elections were held in October, and
which prescribed that the time of canvassing these
returns should be from the 10th to the Goth of No.
vember.
Discussion has arisen in regard to the effect of
the death, resignation, or disability of any of the
Presidential electors in Florida and Louisiana. 1t
has been said that in these States no provisions
have been made by law for filling such vacancies.
The laws of each Of these States do, however,
provide that all vacancies shall be filed by such
electors as are present on the day prescribed by
law for casting the electoral votes Of the several
States. The Legislatures cannot, therefore, pro-
vide for filling any vacancies which may occur
among electors.

| I'll we were well out of it. Republican journal
! ism in the Northern States has been credulous TO
the EXTREMIST extent in believing every piece OF
gossip that could be started against ITS own lead
ers. There is no city here where anything DANA
cling 10 the party would not circulate with electric
wings In this way they fouled their own nests,
DESTROYED their leadership, and broke the cohesive
elements of the party.
The speaker then reviewed the opposition OF
Boutwell, to Bayard on the floor of the Senate,
and how no journal in Boston, republican or 9TH
erwise, gave him one line of recognition, one cor
dial word Of thanks. Nay the majority of the
journals in Eastern Massachusetts derided him As
boy and told him to come home; that he ms
represented Massachusetts. About the Is tot sep
tember the speaker said, when the republican
journals found the danger which has now burst
upon them in all its magnitude staring them IN
the face, casting about for means oil deiehce,
they stole the thunder Of the Massachusetts Sena-
tor.
Speaking further of the Southern question,
which Senator Boutwell, sgnslized himself in dis
cussing. Mr. Phillips argued that 1t would not
have been possible to rally the North for Hayes
but for this vital issue; the party had worn itself
out in interest TO us, but this question touched the
chords in the hearts of the people of the North.
Abiding TO the various political mistakes the re-
publican party tolerated. he said one was the uni
versal right of boiling when any man had all at
tack Of Indigestion. But for the single issue that
held the party together it would have been in this
contest little better than a mob undertaking to
meet regular troops-on the one hand the disor-
ganized disintegrated, demoralIzed element of the
republican training school, on the other the de-
termined well drilled, well fed and well Differed
troops that signify the democratic party. The
republican party just touches success and nothing
more. The leaders deserve none; they never
laid down'a method or q corner stone that had in
ii any power to carry the country. Among these
leaders he excepted Blaine, Butler, Boutwell, and
Morton. They, he claimed, were always in the
front rank of the party.
