GRANT FAVORS THE ELECTORAL
BILL AND THINKS WELL OF
LOUISIANA. &.
Especial to N. Y. Tribune.l

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-The President
has conversed very freely with those who
have called upon him during the last two
days in regard to the electoral bill. He
expressed himself earnestly in favor Of it's
passage. There need therefore be no eX-
pectation if the measure is agreed to by
both houses that he will refuse to sign it.
He said to-day that he considered it Il
patriotic, statesmanlike and equitable
proposition for the adjustment of the
difficulties, and that no one would well
come a peaceable solution ofthe presiden-
tial question more than he. He said that
he had noticed the opposition to the bill
among extreme partisans on both sides,
bat III not appear to
a character or to be sufficiently organic
ed as to secure its defeat. He thinks
that the business interests of the country
would give such a support to the propo-
sition and would so speedily make that
support felt from all sections of the land,
that it would be impossible even for
those who now declare their hostility to
the scheme to vote against it. He said
tuitO IL iie uitti III oIl'oi tuiii'y io slfouib
sign it willingly, cheerfully and heartily.
Speaking of the election in the three dis
puted States. Gen. Grant said to u gen
tleman who called to-day, that as to
South Carolina and Florida, he did not
believe that any fair-minded man could
now properly deny that both of them
went for Hayes. As to Louisiana, he
spoke with much less degree of certain
ty. In fact he left upon tie mind of his
visitor the impression that he seriously
doubted whether the action of the Re
turning Board could be justified, OF
whether the vote of the State could hon,
estly be given for Hayes.

DtED-At her shanty in this village, on
the morning of Saturday, 9th ult., Felic-
lana Ledger, of Victorian parentage and
Dunn. Born in vice, reared and nur-
tured in deceit, matured in iniquity, her
lone and unhallowed grave is believed
only, by brine drops from the bleared
eyes of Scalawagary.
There have been many and varied
theories advanced, as to the cause of
her demise. Some attributed the sad (T)
event to an excessive accumula ton of
bile, as evidenced in her late sallOw COM
pleXion and attenuated form: others fam
cied that her color was but the develop
ment of that rich Olive so peculiar to the
epidermis of her illustrious ancestor;
while her emaciated appearance was ac-
counted for, from the sudden deprivation
of the dainty dish upon which she had
been accustomed to feed from early infan-
cy-official Pap. Other some, steadfastly
insisted upon the opinion that the coup
de mort was administered through the
agency of boomrang protested by her
own hand, and they adhered to their
theory with commendable pertinacity.
An inquest by tho people however, has
determined the case and set all question
at rest-she died of black tongue:'a foul
leprosy of lies and columnies swelled the
organ of articulation until it literally
checked her miserable soul out of it's
hideous tenament;
Oh wipe your weeping eyes on Morton's
bloody shirt.

Evidence OF the support OF the

State. Not only do republican
candidates elect, apply Tor and
accept commissions from Gov.
Nichols, but republican police

There is no getting around these

Glover and Ward, Supervisors of
Registration at the late election,
Senator Bogy, in his reply to Sen
ator Sherman, uses the following
eulogistic remarks, which we copy
from the Congressional Record
The Senator mentions the returns
of Weber from West Feliciana, Of
Anderson from East Fe'iciana, Of
Glover from East Baton Rouge, of
a man by the name of Ward from
Grant. l read testimony yester-
day and to-day showing that this
man Weber was an Infamous man,
rascal and a dog of low degree :;
and that after the election he had
stated, not to one person. but to
many, before he went down to
New Orleans, where he was bribed
to lie, that the election had been
fair and without any violence what-
ever.
Anderson There are no words
that can convey correct idea of
his meanness. He is the fellow that
shot himself to make it appear that
his life was in danger from Dem-
ocrats. II is proven that he shot
through his own clothes, trying to
bull-doze himself. 1t is positively
proven that this Anderson had per-
petrated upon himself the assault
which he said had been done bv
democrats. Clover! l proved
yesterday by the testimony of more
than one witness that this fellow
admitted that the election was fair,
peaceable and quiet, But like his
associates in crime he goes to New
Orlerns, and after he is there some
ten or fifteen days new light breaks
Oh him, and he makes an affidavit
of intimidation. A fellow by the
name of Ward was sent to Grant
Parish as Supervisor of Registra'
ton Of the entire parish. This
fellow kept snake show on the
levee in New Orleans, and it
was proven by testimony read by
me to-day that this snake-show
man only registered such persons
as suited him in the different pre-
cincts of this parish. A fellow
who keeps a snake-show on the
levee of New Orleans is selected
by the governor of Louisiana to go
to one of the parishes Of that State
to do this importint work. This
alone shows the means employed to
insult and mortify the citizens OF
that State, and a willingness to use
the vilest instruments to effect the
predetermined purpose to cheat the
people out of their votes.
The Senator mahes an error in
fact, in calling Ward the snake
show man. Glover is the man to
whom the HONOR rightly belongs.
1t is not material, however, so far
as the results of their respective
missions are concerned. The levee
snke.show of New Orleans has
long years ago become historical
as the vilest den of iaiquity or
Gods green earth, and has been foI
q succession of years, reproach tt
the fair city that countenanced it
And yet its proprietor is selected
by Kellogg to execute one of tn
most important trusts that could b
devolved upon men. A worse strlc
ure upon the usurping government,
could not be written.

INTIMIDATION.

ton as it relates TO the influencing
Of persons in the exercise o. the
elective franchise.
1t has been so persistently and
exclusively attached to the Demo-
cratic party, by our infamous pol
itcal adversares, that, in the course
of time, that word has become in
separately associated, in the ears
o. some people, with the acts of the
party that represents the real res
pectibility. worth and excellence
of the State and country. Testimo-
nv has been suborned, changed or
fabricated to accomplish this end /;
while the very origirators Of in
timidation, have gone scot free and
their deeds have been saddled upon
innocent parties.
Intimidation originated, and Was
first resorted to, by the radical par.
ty. It's history, in every State
in which it has flourished, is
stained with blood, and disGgured
by the flames of the incendiary's
torch.
Leaving the question as regards
other localities, let us take glance
in the retrospect, at facts as they
existed here when the Ncwsham-
Weber influence was in the zenith
of its power.
7 here are few persons who lived
in St. Francisvillc or Bayou Sara
during the exciting political cam,
paign Of 1868, who do not remem-
Der the enormitics committed
through threats, incendiary Lam
euago and demonstrations at the
head of armed bodies Of freedmen,
made in our streets by J. P. New
sham and e. L. Weber. Nor has
the incident sunk into oblivion,
when a committee, composed of
| tho Mayor Of Bayou Sara and two
citizens of character, called upon
Weber in the interests Of peace
and requested the withdrawal Of
his armed forces from tue limits
of the towns, their representations
were treated with insolent deris-
ion and their appeals laughed to
scorn. Confident in their fancied
support by their ignorant and pur-
blind followers, and not mistaken
in their judgement Of the forbear-
ance Of our citizens, these towards
sat in fancied security behind their
ebon hosts and treated the voice
of tie people with sovereign con-
tempt.
These political scavengers parad-
ed their armed du; es. through
| our thorofares, Insulting aud derid-
ing our citizens, and when the day
Of election came, marched them to
the polls in solid phalanx, and
took possession in the name Of the
radical party. Thus did they retain
possession of their respective offices,
and thus did they lord it over the
people, until the people, in the
Iullacss of their desperation arose
as one man and by impassioned app
| peals to the minds and hearts Of
the colored people, separated them
from their idols" and made them
an instrument in the destruction
Of their own party ma tiers.
Is it not a fact susceptible Of
abundan: proof, that these valIiant
captains marched a large body of
armed men upon the defenceless
town of Jackson La: in the fal!
of 1870, and threatened its destruc
ton by fire and sword
1t is useless, further to continue
this disgraceful aud disgusting
recount the incidents are engrav-
en- indellibly upon the minds of the
people of East and West Feliciana,

1D'all who may be afflicted witt, any

make the proposition
E'0 ASA Persons
To cure with one bottle of Days AGue
Tonic.
1t never produces partial deafness, dim
ness of vision, bnzzinS or roaring in the
head, or any of those unpleasant spmp-
toms that follow the use of Quinine; it
does not contain arsenic, strychnine or
any other poison; it acts finely upon the
liver and bowels without the use of
nauseating pills; it can be given to those
whose stomachs reject Qninine, and the
cures are prompt, etfectual and perma-
nent.
Procure from any Druggist or Merchant
one bottle of Days Ague Tonic, use it as
directed, and if it fails, return the empty
bottle, and the money will be refunded
to all
Who have Chills
This is surely a fair proposition, yet
strange to say, none have been returned
to us. Druggists and merchants say it
gives more complete satisfaction, and
sells more readily than any chill remedy
they ever sold.
