THE BOLD TRUMPETEER.

The man. boy and brother, was certainly, evi.
IDENTIFY and Enthusiastically abroad last night, and
made US understand in clear tones what we never
had understood before-that is, how the walls Of
Jericho fell before the trumpets blast. We have
no pretensions to being wall, like the young
lady that Solomon speaks of in his Song of Songs,
but under the pernoious influence of last nights
trumpets we certainly emulated the PROSTATE
action Of Jericho's wals-that is we were over
thrown, or, SO to speak, laid out.
Metaphorically speaking. we feel like thou.
sand bricks literally crushed down, by the noise.
Several parties, armed with the deadly instru-
ment, attacked the DEMocRAr, under pretext of
serenade, last night, but in provision, and with
our ususl forethought, we had had our walls
doubly supported with iron bands, and the .rum.
pets had but little effect except upon our ears,
that Jingle up to the present hour Of going to
press.

THE ACKLEN-DARRALL CONTEST EN-.
POSM.

The contest in the Third Congressional Dis
trict has excited attention throughout the States
from the startling facts brought to light The
election Of Acklen depended in the main on the
vote Of the parish of Iberville. As first counted
IL gave amajority for Darrall. Acklen, though.
proved by number Of witnesses that votes were
counted for Darrall that should have been count
cd for him as his name was printed on the Re-
publican ticket. The court, under this showing,
ordered recount. Previous, however, to hav-
ing the boxes opened, the commissioners OF
election appeared under subpoena of the court
and identified the boxes, the seals and signatures
thereon as being intact; then the boxes were
opened in due form and the recount proceeded in
open court and it's results elected Acklen. Here,
~ was supposed, the case ended.
This recount took place March 6, 1877. Darrall
then took testimony during the forty days follow.
ing, until April II; none Of the large number of
his witnesses, however, swearing to any fraud or
ballot box stuffing. Two months after tb q time
for taking testimony had expired, and during
Acklen's absence, Darrall took the sfiidavlss Of
three men, who swore that one Loud had told
them he had stuff. d the ballot boxes in Ibervle
in Acklen's interest before this recount. Pre-
vious to this, however, it appears, PIP. Is and Is
Record, Dsrrall had attempted to bride Gordon
with these he failed. though he found more
willing tools in Brookshier, Riddell and
Monroe. Brooksheir, who is at present
under criminal indictment for ENLIGHTENMENT,
acted in this affair for Darrsll as
an agent when Monroe was first approached on
the subject OF testfying but they could not agree
rs to the division of the money to be paid, so
Brookshier left, but writes to Monroe from Abbe-
vile. (See letter. p. 20.) Dsrrsl then had Mon
roe come TO his room, where the negotiations
were closed. (See Monroes letter, p. 20)
RIddell based his whole testimony upon men,
orandum which he filed in his testimony, but
which, from the testimony of three witnesses in
rtbuttal, it appears was forged.
Monroe's testimony for Darrali was IS strong
as he could make it. He swore that he was party
to the ballot-box stufiug to the extent OF pur-
chasing the lamp used on that occasion by Loud,
and that he had full knowledge of the affair.
He states this took place in December. 1876, but
lets nearly eight months pass, in which time he
was wretchedly poor, with this valuable lnforma-

Rutter ann Cheese.

It appears from statements made at the
Chicago Butter and Cheese Convention that
the people Of this country and their British
cousins devour more cheese than any people
on the face Of the earth. One speaking, after
stating that 80, 100000 Englishmen eat 800, OOO,
900 pounds of cheese annually and 40, 900
OF Americans eat 180,000,000 pounds in the
same period, argued that since Englishmen
live much longer than Americans, the fact is
due entirely to their heavier consumption OF
cheese. 1t may be true; indeed, we think it
is true and that a terrible mistake has been
England, when the average life of the pre-
sent generation of Americans might have
been prolonged. Let us eat cheese and live.

Some people are curious to know, says the

short a stay. A letter from that city says:
"Parisians never treat. In public resorts,

one paying for his own drinks is strictly OBJ
served" And so Grant left.
