The history OF GRANTS previous inva-

ARD and CASEY, and their dirty gang Of
carpet-bag politicians, Is instructive read

the President sent Federal bayonets to de-

We print elsewhere succnct review OF
the political history OF Louisiana during

Returning Board in 1872 with absolutely
no returns upon which 10 basc their de-

Governor in the face OF n large popular
majority against him; and that their in
famous decree was enforced by the army
OF the United States.
This same PACKARD. this same Brother
in-law CASEY, and this same Returning

electoral vote of Louisiana for HAYES in
the face OF Il Democratic majority in the
safe Of more than eight thousand. And

Among the rare old books most carefully
treasured by bibliomaniacs In this country, none
Is more valued than Eliots Indi n Bible. There
are but few copies Of the fret or 1868 edition ex

offered for sale. The copy sold on Tuesday
night from the Menzies collection is an excep-
ton as It has been sold and resold several tunes
since 1t was received here from England In 1852.
Never until TUESDAY night, however. has It
changed hands Tor less than $1,000. In face Of
the fact that It had been recently rendered per-
feet. and that Its real value had been enhanced
