THE RETURNING BOARD.
They VIII Not Dare Interfere With the
Fall Elections.
lNatchitochos Nindicator.


The great hope Of the Radical rascals
in this State has received weakening
blow from the dissenting opinion of
Judge Wyly, of the Supreme Court,
Judge Morgan concurring, in the case
OF Moncure vs.. Antoine Dubuclet, for
the office of Treasurer OF State. Mon
cure was elected to the office of State
Treasurer, and Dubuclet was returned
by the Returning Board, took the office,
and has held it ever since, and recently,
the Supreme Court of the State has con-
firmed him in his usurpation. We pub
lish in to-days issue extracts from the
opinion of Judge Wyly, dissenting from
the opinion of the court. and, as will be
seen, his argument will, sooner or later,
tell with fatal certainty on one Of the
most iniQuitouS laws ever peTpetrated
on civilized men.
We are absolutely certain that there
cannot be found in the State of Louis
lana three men with hardihood sufficient
to undertake the task Of re-enacting the
villanies committed by the last Return
ing Board No! we think the time for
Radicals boasting that they can ''count
US out" is gone by, but if they will per-
sist in holding an outrage up to the
scorn Of the decent people. it is rather
an idle threat, than anything like real
ity. Judge WHY'S opinion must have
weight and influence, because Of its
strong legal argument and truthful
force. The will Of the people cannot
be set aside by the acts of man or by
any set Of men, il law is allowed to fol-
low its legitimate course, unobstructed
by outside pressure.
The last counting OUT by the Re-
turning Board has been done in this
State, and, of this fact, our people can

THE NEW WARD REGISTRATION
Harmony Prevailing All Around.

The resolutions of the Parish Com
mittee regarding the reorganization Of
the ward clubs is working smoothly, as
far as heard from, in the various wards
of the city, In the Second Ward, Judge
Houston, President of the Central Club,
has appointed three Commissioners Of
Registration from each Of the two op-
posing parties. giving them the right to
appoint their own umpire. This, how
ever, was deemed superfluous by the COM
missioners, who took an oath to per-
form their duties faithfully. In the
Third Ward, President Selleck has ap-
pointed two commissioners from each
of the Wizard and Finnerty parties, and
nominated the umpire himself. In the
Fourth Ward, President Lemonnier
called meeting Of the Central Ward
Club, which was held last night. and re-
turned to him the privilege of making
the necessary appointments.

Virginia. S history is, perhaps, among
that OF all the States of the Union, one

one Of the most salubrious. 1t is the

name is blazoned high on the scroll of

ton Of Mr.. Brancourt, which our scien-

accompanied by the Wingard commit

tual operation, and which in his judg-
ment entirely meets the scientific ap-
probation of PERPETUAL motion.
Those who have had an opportunity
to examine it more closely under more
favorable circumstances. agree that 1t
is all that it claims to be, with the ex-
ception Of one skeptic, Professor 81
neon Dollianv, who is known. however,
to be an unbeliever in everything that
does not emanate from his brain. Pro-
fessor Dolliany says that Mr.. Brancourt
is crazy, and tho latter retorts that the

SPECULATINGI IN DIAMONDS.
A Bold specuIatOr Victim Of Misplaced d
Confidence,

An actress Of considerable promi-
nence in Paris was admired by mar
ried gentleman named B. They
visited in company the establishment of
prominent jeweler and were shown a
magnificent set Of diamonds worth
$4,000. B intimated that $4,000 were
the highest figures he could use on this
occasion. He did not say that he in
tended to present them to the actress,
but she at least thought so, and was,
moreover, fond of diamonds The ac-
tress, having taken counsel with her
self, visited the jeweler privately.
"B-- will give you $4,000 for the dia-
monds," she said, land if he can get
them at that price will probably present
them to me. You ask $4,000. BE it so
Here are the extra $1,000 from my
purse. When he comes again omor-
row offer him the Jewels for $4,000 Keep
our little game shady. Farewell" +"
On the morrow b went to the jew
eler's again and bought the diamond
for $4,000 The actress waited anxious
ly the coming present in which she had
so literally Invested. She is still wait
ing. b saw that he had bargain in
diamonds. He had really once intend
ed to present them to this queen of the
stage; but he saw financial storms, dis
aster, shipwreck on every side. He
said to himself, 'These diamonds are a
good investment; they will certainly at
any time bring the money | have given
for them ;" so he changed his mind and
gave them to his own wife. What
hers is mine and what's mine is mine
own," said he. And the actresses $1,000:
A pang shoots through her voluminous
breast as she thinks of it. She has even
been obliged to see those very jewels Oh

Swept over the stream.

feathers from sll impurities, relieving their

clean and healthy, but also removes the disa:
greeable odor so common to new feathers, and
destroys sIl moths and the liability thereto.
G~For further particulars and prices see bills
